Zhang Juzheng said with admiration: "This is a name that can only be thought up by readers!" I think they should all be scholars, right? ”

You Qi said: "What the master said is right, according to all the news, these five heads should all be from scholars!" Even Li Sancai didn't hide this when he told me, but he didn't know who these five leaders were? He just told me that if you want to be the head of the company, you must have great prestige, be decisive, and the most important thing is to be promoted! ”

Zhang Juzheng laughed when he heard this, and said, "Promotion? Do they still have a formal process? ”

You Qi said solemnly: "They do have a formal procedure!" There is also an affiliated organization under the Plum Blossom Society, called the Chrysanthemum Society. Because chrysanthemums have multiple petals, there are many people in the chrysanthemum club! And the identities of the people in the Chrysanthemum Club are just as mysterious! People who want to join the Chrysanthemum Club can only be invited, and they choose people who are also very prestigious in all walks of life, and can represent a large number of talents! ”

Zhang Juzheng's expression became serious when he heard this, because this was already an organization that simulated the imperial court! And Zhang Juzheng can be sure that the Plum Blossom Society and the Chrysanthemum Society are clearly the relationship between the cabinet and the courtiers! You must know that the members of the cabinet can only be born after the minister's court!

You Qi continued: "The identities of the Chrysanthemum Society personnel are also extremely mysterious, and only a small number of people who are in regular contact with the outside have been detected by us. ”

Zhang Juzheng immediately asked: "Who are these people, is there a list?" ”

You Qi immediately flipped through the book and reported seven or eight names. One of them, Zhang Juzheng, had an impression, and after You Qi's introduction, he finally found that just like You Qi said, these people are either people who used to be officials and became famous for various reasons, or simply local high-ranking families, or leaders in a certain industry, all of whom have huge prestige! So even if Zhang Juzheng wants to move, they need to think carefully!

And the most critical point is that these people are well-known in the government and the opposition and the local area, once there is no suitable reason to arrest these people, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court and Shilin, and the gains outweigh the losses!

At this time, You Qi said with a wry smile: "Presumably, the master has already guessed the methods of these people to control the people below!" These people generally drive others by mastering the handles and shortcomings of some people, or by exchanging interests, so they are easy to find out by name! But according to the old slave's estimate, they should be the people who were deliberately exposed to the outside by the Chrysanthemum Society! ”

Zhang Juzheng understood what he meant. After all, it is impossible for such a large club to communicate with the outside world, so it is in their best interest to expose a group of people and hide most of them at the same time!

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "You're right, except for a small number of people at the bottom, most people don't know their friends, and the teacher is a member of the Chrysanthemum Society, right?" ”

You Qi nodded and said: "What the master said is right, below the Chrysanthemum Society are various interest groups, these interest groups are jointly driven by the Chrysanthemum Society and the Plum Blossom Society, and their power is quite powerful!" The only thing that is fortunate is that they are only acting in the shadows, and they have only mastered some preliminary powers such as assassination and extermination. And they have never been against the general policies of the imperial court, otherwise the Jinyi Guard will start to exterminate them! ”

Zhang Juzheng was not surprised at all when he heard that the people of the Juggernaut Society had the power to extinguish the mouth! Such a huge organization, in addition to the rules and regulations, must have severe punishment measures, otherwise it is impossible to maintain the operation of the organization!

And it's not that they don't go against the general policies of the imperial court, but because the most powerful people in the imperial court are scholars, and the people in power in the Plum Blossom Society are also scholars, and the interests of both sides are the same, so of course there will be no conflict! Therefore, they have power in their hands, and they naturally use it to make a fortune. And now that Zhang Juzheng is preparing to change the law, these people are afraid that their vested interests will be damaged, so they naturally jump out!

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng said softly: "Are these things confirmed?" ”

You Qi said: "Sure! Lord Liu provided a roster, which was a list of some of the people who had been killed in the course of their investigation of the Juggernaut Society. It was only later that Jin Yiwei found out that they were indeed not very harmful to the imperial court, and there were still people in the imperial court who intervened, so they did not continue to investigate. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Have those who intervened traced it? ”

You Qi nodded and said: "Lord Liu said, he and the commanders of the past dynasties have also sent people to investigate, but there is no clear result in the end!" Some of these people were encouraged by the people around them, so they received requests from their division commanders, and some of them received requests from friends. But no matter how much they traced up, there was no result, and some of the people above them just heard the people around them talking about something, and they asked someone to do something under righteous indignation or moral impulse! I simply received an anonymous letter, which pointed out their handle and coerced them to do something! What's even more outrageous is that there are simply brokers who build bridges from it! It can be seen that their wrists are quite flexible! ”

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment and said, "Then are there a lot of people they have exposed?" Especially are there many officials in the imperial court? ”

You Qi smiled bitterly and said, "A lot! At least more than sixty percent of the people who have been exposed now are officials in the DPRK! Among them, there are many high-ranking and powerful figures! The highest known identity is Gao Jinsong, the servant of this dynasty! ”

Zhang Juzheng said suspiciously: "I have already achieved this position, how can I still covet a position that does not see the light, this doesn't make sense!" ”

You Qi said: "I also asked Li Sancai about this, and he told me that anyone who enters the Chrysanthemum Society is a person who is sure to have no hope of entering the cabinet!" It is said that this is the rule set by the five heads of the first generation of the Plum Blossom Society, saying that it is because you can't interfere with state affairs because of selfish desires! After all, if you enter the cabinet, you will have a conflict with the interests of the club! ”

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sigh at the courage and mind of the five leaders of the original Plum Blossom Society! However, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Then Li Sancai can say who can be used by us?" ”

You Qi took out a name from his arms and handed it to Zhang Juzheng and said, "This is the list he gave me, saying that as long as the master agrees, they will immediately notify these people or persuade these people." ”

Zhang Juzheng frowned and said, "Persuasion? Aren't all these people from the Plum Blossom Society? ”

You Qi said: "Then Li Sancai said, less than thirty percent of the people on this list really know that they belong to the Plum Blossom Society!" Among the rest of the people, some people have never even heard of the Plum Blossom Society! ”
