The ministers in the court did not dare to speak at first, but now they have no choice but to speak.

Some ministers who had already defected to Zhao Min spoke hurriedly.

"Queen, you are a man of great talent and vision. It is only natural that you should sit in this position. We are so happy that we cannot even object."

The commander of the 3,000 imperial guards of the Imperial City Administration spoke directly.

"Queen, let alone you sitting here, we would be happy only if you sat on the dragon throne behind us. If anyone dares to object, I will be the first to disagree with the scimitar in my hand."

Zhao Min was not a cunning person, but after hearing such words, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Even Han Yulou behind her couldn't help laughing.

Immediately afterwards, more than half of the ministers in the hall laughed out loud.

These ministers all knew very well that although Zhao Min was a woman, the Yuan Dynasty was controlled by her, which was a hundred times more powerful than in the hands of Emperor Shun of Yuan.

…

On the other side, inside the Guangmingding Hall.

At this time, Zhang Wuji was meeting someone.

This man's name was Nie Qu, and he was a capable general under the rebel king Zhang Shicheng.

His intention in coming to Guangmingding was to win over Zhang Wuji and the Ming Cult.

Not long ago, Zhang Shicheng learned the news that Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated in Buliang Mountain, fled to Jianghuai, and took refuge with Guo Zixing.

Zhu Yuanzhang abandoned the support of the Ming Cult, and at the same time, the Ming Cult also lost Zhu Yuanzhang as a barrier.

After all, Zhang Shicheng was a local tyrant, so he would naturally not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

…

From morning to noon, Nie Qu talked incessantly, saying many good things about Zhang Shicheng, such as how he loved the people like his own children, how he listened to advice, and so on.

Nie Qu has compared Zhang Shicheng to the future emperor, as if as long as the Ming Cult joins, the world will be unified immediately.

Nie Qu even made a promise that after Zhang Shicheng conquered the world, he would enthrone Zhang Wuji as the Ming King.

When he heard the words "Ming Wang", Zhang Wuji couldn't help laughing.

Ming Wang! There was once a woman who made the same promise to him twice.

That person is Zhao Min, but the value of Zhao Min's Ming Wang is much higher than the current Ming Wang.

In troubled times, the word "king" may be the least valuable.

As long as you have some people under your command, you can become the king of the mountain.

…

Nie Qu was already talking until his mouth was dry. After drinking a cup of tea, he asked with his already limited patience.

"Master Zhang, I have been talking to you for two or three hours. Just tell me the truth. My commander-in-chief wants to win you over. It's nice to take shelter under a big tree. I hope Master Zhang can understand the situation."

Situation? Zhang Wuji said: "General Nie, go back and tell your commander-in-chief that my Ming Cult is still capable of protecting itself, and there is no need for others to worry."

Nie Qu was also a veteran of battles, and Zhang Wuji's words had already ignited the anger in his heart.

Nie Qu said viciously: "Okay, I wasted two or three hours of my conversation. Since Master Zhang doesn't appreciate it, then I'll just fend for yourself."

"I hope you can still be so tough when the Yuan army is approaching."

Zhang Wuji said with a laugh.

"General Nie has a very bad temper. He will throw a tantrum if he can't reach an agreement. If you don't change your temper, you will suffer a great loss in the future."

Nie Qu widened his eyes: "I have a bad temper, what can you do about it? Your Ming Cult is just a bigger sect after all. My commander thinks highly of you, so he wanted to win you over. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."

"Goodbye."

Nie Qu left the Ming Cult hall angrily.

After he left, Yang Xiao walked in.

Yang Xiao said cautiously: "Master, Zhang Shicheng's territory is not too far from us, and Nie Qu is a general under Zhang Shicheng. I'm afraid the feud between us today has already been formed."

"I hope the leader can make plans early."

Zhang Wuji sighed helplessly.

"Why did Zhang Shicheng's men come? Our Ming Cult is weak now, while Zhang Shicheng already has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command. He is not only ambitious, but also a capable person."

"I'm really worried that after cooperating with him, the Ming Cult will be eaten away bit by bit."

Yang Xiao quickly said: "The leader's worries are right."

"Zhang Shicheng can be regarded as a hero of his generation. Being with such a person will probably not lead to a good ending."

Zhang Wuji stretched and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how many soldiers we have recruited recently."

Yang Xiaoliang hurriedly said: "In recent days, we have recruited a total of 10,000 new soldiers, but these people basically have no experience in battle. It may take some time to train them."

"Ten thousand new recruits," Zhang Wuji nodded with satisfaction.

"Uncle Yang, you've done a great job. You should hurry up and train these 10,000 new recruits. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Pay them on time every month, and make sure to provide them with all the weapons and armor."

"In these troubled times, our enemies are not only the Yuan Empire, but also other rebel kings. Sooner or later we will fight with them."

"So the first battle of our Ming Cult is a decisive battle. No matter who we fight against, we must win, and we must win beautifully."

"Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in troubled times."

Yang Xiao quickly bowed and said: "The leader has the world in his heart, he will be invincible. These masters of our Ming Cult have already risked their lives."

Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Uncle Yang's words are getting nicer and nicer."

Yang Xiao smiled when he heard this and said, "Master, what I said is all from the bottom of my heart. You have an astonishing cultivation at such a young age, and you are so calm and steady in doing things. In ten years, the world will most likely be yours."

Zhang Wuji waved his hands quickly.

"Uncle Yang, stop talking. If you continue, I'm afraid I'll get carried away."

"If there is nothing else, just go ahead and do your work."

After hearing what Zhang Wuji said, Yang Xiao actually remembered something.

He bowed and said, "Master, there is indeed a small matter, according to the report from our spies in Dadu."

"Zhao Min is already the queen. She has the final say in the Yuan Dynasty court today."

After hearing this, Zhang Wuji almost dropped his jaw in shock.

He said in disbelief: "So soon, I thought she would have to wait for a while. Now that Zhao Min has become the queen, isn't she just one step away from becoming emperor?"

“This is no small matter.”

Become emperor? Yang Xiao had heard of Zhao Min's ambitions and knew that she was extremely powerful.

But this was the first time he heard of the idea of ​​becoming emperor.
