After Yin Zhengmao sat down, Zhu Ming's four [cabinet ministers] gathered.

said that it was a minister, but in fact, this was just an honorific title for the four of them.

Externally, because of the need to win the hearts of the people and seal the official to make wishes, so at the suggestion of Xu Jie, in the founding of the Ming Dynasty last year, the emperor was Zhu Houxi, the seventh grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the famous king of Wu at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

After the establishment of the Great Wei, the Zhu family has been in hiding, secretly gathering people several times, thinking of overthrowing the Zhang family's Great Wei and replacing it.

However, most of the ancestors of the past dynasties were in the stage of gathering strength.

After many years of secret associations, cooperation with sects and other means, a group of talents, soldiers, horses, money and food have finally been gathered.

When his grandfather Zhu Jianshen and Wang Sen, the first leader of the Wenxiang Sect, instigated the rebellion of the miners of Niushou Mountain, he was surrounded and suppressed by the current cabinet of the third assistant, Xu Song, the deputy envoy of Huguang at that time, and his grandfather Zhu Jianshen fell off the cliff and his bones remained.

Finally, after all these years of accumulation, the new "Prince Zhu" Zhu Houxi, and the son of Zhu Youzhen, the fourth son of Zhu Jianshen, became supporters of everyone and raised the anti-flag again.

Compared with the time when his grandfather was in Niushou Mountain, Zhu Houxi learned a lesson, contacted all the forces that could be contacted, and blossomed in all directions, making the imperial army exhausted.

Now, the critical time has come for the imminent uprising.

Over the years, most of the local civil officials and military attachés in northern Huguang have more or less been in contact with Zhu Ming, and from them, they have also obtained a lot of weapons and conveniences.

Seeing that the selection of Yu Dayou, the most elite Yu Dayou who was transferred from Guangxi, has turned back from Sichuan, the launch is just around the corner.

For the sake of prudence, Zhu Houxi accepted the advice of his four henchmen and moved his family to Shangluo Mountain in southern Shaanxi, while everyone stayed behind to prepare for the incident.

Now, among the four people, Xu Jie's main step is slow, and he will wait and see the situation before making a decision.

And Gao Gong, who is as fierce as fire, wants to go all out and directly raise the anti-flag, and really face the court for the first time.

Zhang Juzheng was the youngest and had the least qualifications, so he didn't speak just now.

Speaking of Zhang Juzheng, this person is a famous prodigy in the Huguang world.

There's another story to his joining.

Zhang Juzheng was born in Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture, in the fourth year of Zhizheng, his family is a member of the Jingzhou Weijun, his father is a showman, and his family is also thin.

When he was born, Zhang Juzheng's great-grandfather had a dream that a full moon fell in the water, illuminating the surrounding light, and then a white turtle slowly floated out of the water.

Zhang Juzheng's great-ancestor believed that this white turtle was Zhang Juzheng who had just landed on the ground, so he gave Zhang Juzheng a milk name...... "Bai Gui".

Zhang Juzheng really behaved differently from others when he was a teenager, he was a well-known prodigy in Jingzhou Mansion at a very young age, and he passed the children's test at the age of twelve, and Li Shiao, the prefect of Jingzhou, renamed him "Juzheng".

In the nineteenth year of Zhizheng, he was admitted to the Zhongxiang examination to become a lifter, and the then governor of Huguang, Gu Lan, saw his article and exclaimed: "This son will be talented!" ”

At that time, Zhu Houxi, who was in Zhongxiang, heard about Zhang Juzheng, and made a special trip to Jiangling to meet him, and was impressed by his conversation, so he implied that Zhang Juzheng rebelled with him.

But Zhang Juzheng is just a young man, and he is famous in the imperial examination, how can he rebel with the anti-thief.

However, Zhu Houxi also had a way, and the commander of Jingzhou Wei was already in close contact with him.

Zhu Houxi used some silver, asked Jingzhou Wei to confiscate the Zhang family's field first, and arrested several members of the Zhang family, saying that they had evaded military service.

In the end, Zhang Juzheng's father was arrested.

The Zhang family is good and dignified, and people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven.

I used a lot of silver, but I didn't get my father out, and it was useless to go to the Huguang Metropolitan Division and the Governor's Yamen to complain.

In the end, he was forced to have no choice but to scrape together money to redeem his father.

At this time, Zhu Houxi came forward and got Zhang Juzheng and his father out.

But at this time, the Zhang family was already close to the four walls of the family.

In the end, under Zhu Houyu's repeated invitations, Zhang Juzheng could only follow Zhu Houyu for the sake of favor.

However, Zhu Houxi also confessed to Zhang Juzheng afterwards, these are his methods, mainly because he admires them too much......

The matter has come to this point, although Zhang Juzheng is unwilling, but he has already made a boat, and he has no choice, so he has to follow the other party.

However, with what he has seen and heard over the years, Zhang Juzheng has indeed discovered many problems in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Officials are corrupt and pervert the law, officials are cunning and robbing, the people are worse than death, and the guards do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers!

His mentality slowly changed, from the beginning when Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word, to now, he has also begun to actively participate in the affairs of the righteous army.

Of course, Zhu Houxi was overjoyed, and he valued him very much, and regarded him, Xu Jie, and others as his henchmen at a young age.

"Uncle, what do you think?" Gao Gong and Xu Jie argued, and finally had no choice but to look at Zhang Juzheng and ask him to share his views.

Although Zhang Juzheng is the youngest of the four, he is a man and does things well.

Now, whoever you support will offend the other side.

He turned his head to look at Yin Zhengmao and said, "Shi Tinggong, how about going to Wudang Mountain this time?" Got into trouble? ”

Yin Zhengmao nodded, and told Ge Ping about what he was going to cut with them again.

Zhang Juzheng heard this: "If that's the case...... Shaohu Gong, I think Brother Su Qing is right, we can't wait, the imperial court has already smelled Huguang's abnormality, Jinyiwei is just the beginning, and the next thing is likely to be an officialdom earthquake against Huguang! ”

"At that time, even if we are not accounted for by those people; But the imperial court has replaced those officials, and we also have no chance to accumulate strength! ”

"Instead of this, let's start it!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he pondered for a long time, and frowned: "Do you really want to launch?" ”

Gao Gong thought he was greasy and crooked, and he kept interrupting, and said in an unhappy tone: "Shaohu Gong, you are so timid, how can you fight to the death with the imperial court?" We are rebellious, we have no determination, I advise you to go back to Huating! ”

Yin Zhengmao, as the second oldest person on the scene and the person with the most significant status in the past, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Su Qing, it's over~~~~"

Xu Jie was good-tempered, and he didn't care when he heard the words, and finally made up his mind: "Since everyone said that something was going to happen, then it was decided." ”

"Tomorrow out of Niangniang Mountain, the army will be sent to Yunyang Mansion, there is our internal response in the city, do not trim after the lay, go directly east to Xiangyang Mansion, as long as Xiangyang is laid, the city is high and the pool is deep, plus we have been operating in Huguang for many years, we will be able to gain a firm foothold!" Gao Gong excitedly slammed the table.

Yin Zhengmao also nodded: "Yunyang Mansion still has a team of people from the imperial court, and there are also our people in it, when the time comes, I will take a trip and pull these people over!" ”

Zhang Juzheng advised: "We must guard Yunyang, this is the key to our response to Yu Dayou's department, and it is also the key to our retreat to southern Shaanxi!" ”

"That's right!"

"That's it!"
