Why is he so curtilage?
First of all, Hong Xiuquan considers his own safety. Hong Xiuquan thinks Tianwangfu is safer, so he doesn't want to leave here. This is not an alarmist by Hong Xiuquan. In the Qing Dynasty, someone was sent to assassinate the supreme leader of the Kingdom of Tian Ping, so Hong Xiuquan paid special attention to protecting himself.
Secondly, he is trying to cover up his shortcomings. Hong Xiuquan has set up a very Gao Daquan image for everyone, but he has no culture. He can't give a speech in formal occasions at all, so he can only avoid appearing in public. At the beginning of the uprising, he could fool everyone, but now if he still plays the old tricks, he will be easily caught. The reason why he didn't show up was to make people think he was inscrutable and scare these people.
Besides, he enjoys this comfortable life himself. Hong Xiuquan used to be a farmer, but later he led troops to fight and lived a hard life. After moving to Tianwangfu, Hong Xiuquan experienced aristocratic life. He began to indulge and enjoy this feeling and didn't want to go back to that hard life.
If we put ourselves in his position, maybe we will be as happy as Hong Xiuquan, busy enjoying ourselves and not thinking about war. In fact, Hong Xiuquan's behavior can reflect his inner thoughts. Hong Xiuquan was desperate because he knew that if the uprising failed, he would definitely be killed.
However, with the growth of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the continuous acquisition of advantages on the battlefield, Hong Xiuquan relaxed his vigilance. He once deceived people, saying that he was the second son of God and sent by God to save them. Hong Xiuquan rose so fast that he hardly encountered any obstacles, so he really felt that he was the son of fate.
He thinks that since the goddess of fortune is on his side, he can be emperor even in bed. It was this absurd idea that ruined his excellent situation. Including the split of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Hong Xiuquan's residence in Wang Fu. If he can come out of the Heavenly Palace and take charge of the overall situation, the rebellion may still happen, but the losses will be minimized.
Hong Xiuquan finally died in his own heavenly palace. From the spring breeze when he entered the heavenly palace to the fall and disillusionment of the dream of Tianjing, I believe he will have thousands of feelings in his heart. However, Hong Xiuquan's failure is emotional, not sympathetic, because this road is his own choice.
In addition, there is another point that deserves our deep thought. Hong Xiuquan's life in Tianwangfu can be described as luxury. He only cared about himself, but didn't think of the farmers who followed him through life and death. The reason is that he was corrupted by capital. There is quite a feeling that the brave fight against the dragon, and the brave who kills the dragon becomes the dragon. Or perhaps from the beginning, Hong Xiuquan's fundamental purpose was not to be an emperor, but to enjoy prosperity. This can just correspond to his class level and ideological level.
