Zhang Juzheng sat down and said, "What is the important thing to find me at this time?" ”

You Qi said: "Master, someone found me today, let me send a message to the master!" ”

Zhang Juzheng's eyes couldn't help but become fierce when he heard this! Now that he is in the phase, there is still someone who transmits news to him through You Qi, doing such a secret thing, I'm afraid it's really not a trivial matter! Thinking of this, he said, "Who is it?" What message to deliver? ”

You Qi knew that the matter was big, so he didn't dare to be verbose, so he directly said in the simplest and most straightforward words: "This person's name is Li Sancai, and he is this year's new science and technology jinshi!" Someone asked him to find me, saying that he could help the master master the court as soon as possible and carry out the matter of changing the law! The condition is to ask the master not to collect industrial and commercial mining taxes after the reform is over! ”

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this! There are still people who dare to send him news, make deals, and exaggerate to help him manipulate the court! It's extremely difficult for him to do this kind of thing as the first assistant, let alone others! I can't say that this man is just impatient!

He was just about to speak, but he heard You Qi say: "Don't worry, master, listen to me first!" Then Li San is the one who came to speak on behalf of those people in the Juggernaut Society! ”

Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You mean those people from the Plum Blossom Society?" Haven't they been doing things in secret? Why did it suddenly jump out this time? What spooked them out? ”

You Qi said with a wry smile: "Master, the people in this court all have seven exquisite hearts, and the master's mind to change the law can't hide from them!" These people are probably afraid of losing their official hats and money, so they jumped out! ”

Zhang Juzheng was silent when he heard this. He had heard of the Plum Blossom Society, the name of the Juggernaut Society, before, but he thought that what these people were doing avoided the right path and lost their upright demeanor, they must have no future. In addition, no one contacted him about joining the Juggernaut Society, so he didn't care much.

But when he entered the center of the court, his teacher Xu Jie once told him that in the Ming Dynasty there was a semi-secret organization called the Plum Blossom Society, also known as the Juggernaut Society, which had great influence within the Ming Dynasty! At that time, he also paid attention to some things in the Juggernaut Society, but they never went against the imperial court, and he didn't care!

But now that this juggernaut has jumped out to interfere in the government, he must pay attention! Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng said: "You go to Liu Shouyou and ask him to send all the news he knows about the Juggernaut Society!" ”

Liu Shouyou in Zhang Juzheng's mouth is the commander of Jinyiwei! This person is also from a family, after the famous minister! However, this person has long been tamed by Zhang Juzheng, completely forgetting that Jinyiwei's duty is to serve the emperor, and he has served Zhang Juzheng wholeheartedly.

Not to mention anything else, now the news summarized by Jinyiwei every day must be sent to Zhang Juzheng for inspection first, and then it will be sent to the inner court. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng asked him for the news of the Juggernaut Society, then he will definitely send the most accurate news!

Because Liu Shouyou was obedient, when Zhang Juzheng covered the sky with one hand in the early Wanli period, Liu Shouyou naturally went smoothly, and the official was the governor of the left capital, the prince and the prince! After Zhang Juzheng's death, Wanli liquidated him, Liu Shouyou lost his backer and was impeached, and finally dismissed from office.

And Liu Shou's own ability is not high! When he served as the commander of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei was completely suppressed by the East Factory, and he could only act according to the wishes of the lieutenant officials of the East Factory, and the East Factory has always been criticized by later generations, so Liu Shou's reputation is not very good.

However, Liu Shouyou himself left an eternal unsolved case, which is his involvement with the national treasure "Qingming Riverside Map"! The thing is that Wang Shizhen, a famous minister of the same dynasty as him, insinuated Liu Shouyou in his article, saying that when he was copying Feng Bao's house, he secretly swallowed Feng Bao's "Qingming Riverside Map"!

You know, Feng Bao is a eunuch with a high level of education, and he likes to collect very much! Legend has it that "Qingming Riverside Map" was once in the hands of Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng gave this picture to him in exchange for Feng Bao's support, so this picture finally fell into the hands of Liu Shouyou, who also likes to collect.

Of course, this is Wang Shizhen's statement, and it has not been confirmed in the end, and Zhang Zeduan's real final version is still full of opinions, and there is no trace of it.

After sending You Qi away, Zhang Juzheng went to dinner very calmly, and took a short walk in the back garden before returning to the study to rest. As the head of a nation, he has the confidence to face any person and organization, whether hostile or friendly!

Not long after Zhang Juzheng sat down in the study, there was a knock on the door of the study. Zhang Juzheng put down the book in his hand and said indifferently: "Come in!" ”

The door of the study was pushed open, and I saw You Qishi coming in with a stack of books and said, "Master, the news from Jinyiwei is here!" ”

Zhang Juzheng glanced at the book in You Qi's hand and said, "I think you should have seen these things on the way here, and I think you can also take out a lot of information from Li Sancai's mouth, so you can just talk about it." ”

When You Qi heard Zhang Juzheng's order, he put the book on the desk, stood up straight and said, "Master, I have sorted out the information I have collected and found a lot of information that I didn't know before!" At first, I thought the Juggernaut Society was supposed to be a secret organization, but it wasn't. They are more like a loose alliance of many large and small groups composed of classmates, fellow villagers, the same year, teachers and students, etc.! ”

Zhang Juzheng said strangely: "If you say so, they shouldn't have such a big influence!" This loose structure is not suitable for power at all! ”

You Qi shook his head and said, "Master, things are not as simple as we imagined!" Although the whole structure of the Juggernaut Society is very loose, its upper level is very secretive and united! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "If that's the case, it makes sense!" They probably have one or a few strong leaders, right? Then you can talk about it from top to bottom! ”

You Qi nodded and said, "Okay, sir." According to Lord Liu, the earliest trace of the Juggernaut Society was found after the Yingzong Dynasty, and it is speculated that it should be Yu Qian, which was officially established after Yu Shaobao's death! It should be that the officials at that time did not let Yu Shaobao be killed in order to limit the imperial power. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "I see, my ambition is very good, I'm afraid it will change its taste in the future, right?" ”

You Qi continued noncommittally: "According to legend, the real name of the Juggernaut Society is called the Plum Blossom Society, because there are only five people in them who really have the final say, and it happens to be the same as the number of petals of the plum blossom, so it is called the Plum Society!" ”
