It is said that Zhang Jiao barely supported the sick body, sat on the main seat, looked at Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Zhang Mancheng and several other people under the seat, and wanted to discuss the aftermath of Liu Jing.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the hurried chanting of a disciple outside the door.

Zhang Jiao moved his body slightly, did not make a sound, but closed his eyes slightly, to recuperate.

Zhang Bao scolded the disciple who sang the newspaper: "What are you panicking about? Didn't you see the sect leader in a meeting? What can't we wait until the meeting is over? You melon babies with raw faces, you are just anxious, and you have no character! ”

The disciple who sang the newspaper heard Zhang Bao's reprimand, and he was also very aggrieved, but he couldn't talk back, so he had to lower his head deeper, and replied respectfully: "Report to the sect leader, return to the second master, my letter is a 100,000 urgent matter, you can't press it and not report it, and you won't report it later, otherwise it's a big deal, and no one can afford it!" ”

Zhang Bao saw that this disciple not only apologized to himself, but even dared to talk back to himself, so he scolded again: "Okay, okay, you are in a hurry, if what you want to say is not so important, if it is a big thing, then my second master Bao will not be polite to you!" ”

The believer did not speak, but was half-kneeling, waiting there with his head bowed deeply, waiting for the horn to speak.

Zhang Jiao heard Zhang Bao muttering there non-stop, and he felt a little upset in his heart, so he didn't care about Zhang Bao, waved his hand casually, and said softly: "Say, the people here are all leaders in the sect, what do you have to report, say it early, let's make a plan!" ”

When the believer who sang the newspaper heard Zhang Jiao's words, he bowed again, kowtowed, and saluted: "The words of the sect leader, I just received a letter from Luoyang, let's talk about it."

The disciple who sang the newspaper said this, but it really made Zhang Bao feel so angry, he was about to reprimand angrily, but when he looked up at Zhang Jiao, he saw Zhang Jiao's sickly face and irritability, so he endured it again.

So Zhang Bao slowly breathed a long sigh of relief, and said calmly: "Since the sect leader asked you to report, you can report it well, completely, don't be afraid, how big can it be?" ”

When the singer heard Zhang Bao's words, he paused and continued: "The letter from Luoyang said that the imperial court has ordered the arrest of Taiping sect followers, and now the decree to block the Taiping sect is being issued, and it is estimated that all states and counties will soon receive the holy decree, and they will all start to prepare, this is the big news of that day!" ”

When Zhang Jiao heard this shocking news, he suddenly stood up from his seat, he opened his two blood-red eyes, and said incredulously: "What? Is there such a thing? The imperial court wants to arrest the Taiping cultists? The imperial court wants to suppress us? The"

Zhang Bao also stood up from the chair in a daze, he gasped rapidly, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked the disciple who sang the newspaper word by word: "You don't have the slightest bit of fake news, you must know that this matter is very important, it is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of our disciples, and it is related to the future future of our Taiping Sect!" ”

The disciple who sang the newspaper fell to the ground and did not dare to raise his head, but repeated: "My subordinates have repeatedly confirmed to ensure that the news is correct, it is all true, and everything the villain said is true!" ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Mancheng, who were present, were also shocked, and their faces also showed frightened looks, they couldn't believe that for no reason, why would the imperial court suddenly be ruthless to the Taiping Sect next time.

This news came suddenly and unexpectedly, because the imperial court had already ordered all parts of the country to prepare for the arrest of Taiping sect members.

Because the imperial court received the news, someone went to Luoyang to denounce, said that the Taiping Sect was planning to rebel, and the messenger of the Taiping Sect left in Luoyang, Ma Yuanyi, who contacted Jian Tu, was arrested, and after overnight interrogation, Ma Yuanyi confessed and confirmed the news that the Taiping Sect was going to rebel.

And that Jian Shuo also suffered an unwarranted disaster, was imprisoned by a series of bells, and fell into the well again, adding fuel to the fire and stepping on Jian Shuo, and directly killed Jian Shuo in prison.

Zhang Jiao was very panicked when he heard the news that the imperial court had ordered the arrest of the Taiping Sect, and when he had no master, another disciple came in a hurry, knelt down in front of the lobby door, and said in a panic: "Jizhou Zhang Chun rose up and began to rebel in the name of the Taiping Sect!" The imperial court has ordered to quickly order people to exterminate Zhang Chun's rebellion and eradicate the Taiping Sect as soon as possible. “。

The two messages in succession were so shocked that Zhang Jiao was speechless, he fell down on the main seat in a decadent manner, gasping weakly, seeing that the big thing was about to start, he couldn't do anything, so he muttered weakly: "I'm in a state of confusion now, my body is no longer good, and the matter of teaching affairs will be handled by the second brother for the time being, this thing happened suddenly, and it came extremely violently, everything has a destiny, everything is a providence!" ”

At this time, Zhang Jiao could neither advance nor retreat, and he fainted again.

Zhang Bao temporarily acted as the head of the Taiping Sect and began to act as the head of the Taiping Sect, but now the situation has been decided, and the Taiping Sect seems to have become a fire and water situation with the imperial court, and he was also forced to make a decision in a hurry, and was forced to rebel under the condition of insufficient preparation.

Zhang Bao realized at this moment that Zhang Chun's father and son had brought a predicament to the Taiping Sect, because the forces within the Taiping Sect were too scattered, and one-third of them were Zhang Chun's forces in Jizhou, and these people were openly disciples of the Taiping Sect and were under the management of the sect.

However, they were actually only the personal soldiers of Zhang Chun's father and son, and all actions were led by Zhang Chun's father and son, and were not under the jurisdiction of Zhang Bao.

And Liu Jing's personal soldiers, Chu Yan and Cheng Yuanzhi, are also a force that is extremely difficult to balance, if Liu Jing is here, they will still obey Liu Jing's orders, but now Liu Jing's whereabouts are a mystery, of course these two people will not obey Zhang Bao's orders.

So on the day when Zhang Bao issued the decision to rebel, they each led their own forces and occupied the mountain as the king, of course, on the bright side, they still obeyed the dispatch of the Taiping Sect, but if Zhang Bao's order did not please them, they would definitely not obey it.

In order to go smoothly and make a name for himself, Zhang Bao held up the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious".

And gave Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang and himself a very mysterious name, Zhang Jiao was called "General Tiangong", Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were "General Digong" and "General Rengong" respectively, raising the banner of righteousness and starting the road of rebellion.

Because the Taiping believers all wore yellow silk scarves on their heads, they were called the 'Yellow Turban Army' or 'Moth Thieves'.
