In the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, more than a dozen Northern dignitaries had gathered together.
Under the banner of the Night Banquet, they were holding a secret meeting.
Among these people, the one with the highest status was Duke Dingguo Xu Yunzhen, a hereditary duke with a different surname.
His ancestor was Xu Da, the number one hero who founded the Ming Dynasty.
The sworn brother of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty!
Xu Da defeated Chen Youliang in the Battle of Poyang Lake. The following year, he was appointed as the Left Prime Minister.
Later, he led the army to attack Huaidong, and two years later captured Pingjiang and destroyed Zhang Shicheng.
After the Ming Dynasty was established, Xu Da was conferred the title of Duke of Wei!
With such a powerful ancestor, the Xu family had always prospered.
But now, Xu Yunzhen was plotting a rebellion! Most of the other people in the banquet were from noble families, and the lowest rank was an Earl!
Moreover, these dignitaries were secretly involved with the White Lotus Society.
Colluding with the White Lotus Society was a capital offense!
The White Lotus Society only had one goal, and that was to overthrow the rule of the Great Ming Dynasty.
No matter who it was, as long as they were involved with the White Lotus Society, even the kindest emperor would not tolerate it.
"Everyone, things have come to this! We have no other choice! Only by overthrowing Zhu Ming's tyrannical rule can we have hope of turning the tables!!”
"The world of the Zhu family was won with the help of our ancestors! Now, it should also end in our hands!”
"The Zhu family is incompetent and caused the people of the world to live in misery. We are enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens!”
Duke Dingguo Xu Yunzhen's impassioned speech moved these dignitaries.
At this moment, Holy Maiden White Lotus also incited,""Everyone, there's nothing to hesitate about!”
"Now that the capital is empty, we can rise up and rebel against the Zhu Clan. King Roaming will naturally reward us handsomely!”
"Your families can still enjoy hundreds of years of glory and wealth! If you don't do anything now, when Roaming King invades the capital, you won't even have a chance to join him!”
"Besides, can you really cooperate with the White Lotus Society without anyone knowing? If I release this information, will Emperor Gou let you go?”
Holy Maiden White Lotus, this was a carrot and a stick, and these nobles could not refuse!
After saying that, the White Lotus Saintess swept her eyes across the crowd at the banquet.
There was a faint smile on his face.
These words had been prepared for her by the cult. Now that she said it, she did not believe that these people would not be moved.
Finally, someone was persuaded.
"Forget it! This Zhu Mingtian was indeed rotten! So be it!"
"Yes, we're doing this for the sake of the people of the world!”
……
This group of people was trying their best to find a reasonable excuse for their treasonous behavior.
It seemed that this would make him feel at ease.
Little did they know that the reason why the world was so dilapidated and the people were in dire straits was not because of the royal family.
It was all because of them, a group of vermin, who squeezed the people's fat and made the farmers unable to live and had no choice but to rebel!
As long as the ordinary people had enough to eat and could live in peace and contentment, who would be willing to lick their blood and rebel?
Seeing that these dignitaries had finally expressed their stance, a smug look appeared on the face of the White Lotus Saintess!
"Everyone, while Zhu Cixuan's army is out of the city to fight, let's quickly gather our family slaves, death warriors, and private troops!”
"The White Lotus Saintess will also send her elite disciples to cooperate with us!”
"Break through the Forbidden City and capture Emperor Zhu alive!”
"Let's turn this rotten Forbidden City upside down!!”
“……”
Duke Dingguo was in high spirits, as if he could already see the scene of him leading the crowd to break through the Forbidden City.
Suddenly!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of arrows piercing through the air could be heard.
A large number of arrows were fired from the window.
What was going on? Why were there suddenly arrows?
Had he been discovered?
All the nobles at the banquet were flustered!
"Not good! The Embroidered Uniform Guards are here!"
"Don't kill me, spare my life! I'm just a servant. I don't know anything!”
" I was forced to do this. Please spare my life!"
"Milord, leave quickly. The Embroidered Uniform Guards are ferocious and can't be stopped!”
……
Outside the banquet hall, all kinds of screams came from the servants!
Outside the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, a large number of servants and guards were instantly cut down by the Embroidered Uniform Guards like hungry wolves.
These ordinary guards could not withstand a single move from the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Oh no!"
"We've really been discovered!"
Duke Dingguo's expression changed drastically. Suddenly, he steeled his heart and shouted,""Everyone, rise up and fight back! As long as they could break out of the encirclement and reorganize their forces, they would definitely be able to turn the tables!”
"Duke Dingguo, you still don't know how to repent at this time!”
"The nobles of the Northern Lands colluded with the White Lotus Society and attempted to rebel. The rest of his accomplices were all suppressed and thrown into the imperial prison! We will wait for His Majesty to return triumphantly before we deal with him!”
Suddenly, the Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander Li Zhen descended from the sky with a few Thousand Households experts!
