The county lord mentioned by Xing is naturally Zhu Yilan. Originally, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, above the court, almost did not mention the possibility of characters like the county lord. Because, what the Ming Dynasty implemented has always been a policy of refusing to make peace. No matter who wants to make peace with the Ming Dynasty, there is no chance. Whether you want to marry your daughter or I want to marry my daughter, there is no such possibility. The county lord of the Ming Dynasty could only marry a Han Chinese. In fact, the county lord of the Ming Dynasty will never appear in the public eye.

However, this Zhu Yilan has some exceptions. Because of some of Emperor Wanli's behaviors, her upbringing experience is very different from that of ordinary county lords. Her childhood life has almost no connection with Ciqing Palace. At one time, some people thought that she would never return to Ciqing Palace. Even after returning to Ciqing Palace, the general laws of Ciqing Palace had little binding force on her. Compared to the other county lords, she is quite free to move.

Of course, these are not the main reasons. The main reason is that her relationship with Xu Xingxia has always been very close. This is a very strange thing indeed. How could the county lord of the imperial court be mixed with the leader of the thief army? But, in fact, it is. All of Zhu Yilan's actions, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, have been reported in detail. The level of confidentiality of these reports is also not very high. The most important ministers are all qualified to read it. Therefore, they also have a more detailed understanding of the relationship between Zhu Yilan and Xu Xingxia.

Xing suddenly mentioned Zhu Yilan, obviously suggesting that he should adopt private means to entrap Xu Xingxia, first curb the fierce offensive momentum of the white-clothed army, raise money and food for the imperial court, mobilize the army, and buy some time. Now that the white-clothed army has captured Xi'an Mansion, which seriously threatens the security of the Central Plains, whether the imperial court wants to or not, it must find a way to kill it as much as possible. Otherwise, the rule of the imperial court risks being overthrown.

The current Ming Dynasty is indeed struggling step by step, with insufficient money and food, unable to make ends meet, and its armaments are slack, and it is perfunctory that there is almost no possibility of defeating the white-clothed army. However, it is true that dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, and people go crazy in a hurry. If the white-clothed army really forced the imperial court to be anxious, and the imperial court was forced to take some tough measures, it would still be able to raise considerable money and food and mobilize considerable troops. After all, the Ming Dynasty still has some foundation, and this foundation has not been completely hollowed out.

Of course, it would be better if Zhu Yilan's identity could be used to lay traps, dispatch killers, and kill Xu Xingxia in one fell swoop. Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both doing this errand. They all have professional killers. As long as there is a chance to kill Xu Xingxia in one fell swoop, the white-clothed army will definitely be torn apart and fall apart. On this trip to Yansui Town, [***] Xing has clearly seen that the backbone of the white-clothed army is Xu Xingxia. Everything in the white-clothed army is built on top of Xu Xingxia. As long as Xu Xingxia is dead, the white-clothed army will be finished.

In order to achieve this goal, even Zhu Yilan can be sacrificed when necessary. In the eyes of [***] Xing, as long as he can maintain the rule of the imperial court and sacrifice a small county lord, it is really nothing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not say anything. Emperor Wanli will not pay attention to it. Because, in the Ming Dynasty, there were county lords, one more than one, and one less and not a lot. As long as Xu Xingxia can be killed and all the county lords are compensated, it is nothing.

However, the idea of [***] star, in the eyes of other officials, is inevitably a little unkind. At this time, who can stand in the Qianqing Palace, which one is not a very smart guy? A guy like Zhang Haogu is absolutely impossible. A stupid official like him has been killed a hundred times and a hundred times by others.

Every official who can climb up, don't say that as long as you cock your ass, you know what you have to do. In fact, even if you haven't cocked your ass yet, they know what you're going to do. When Xing mentioned the word county lord, they immediately understood that this old man was suggesting unconventional means to get rid of Xu Xingxia. Since conventional means cannot solve the enemy, then resort to unconventional means. This has always been the style of doing things for [***] stars.

No one would think that this was [***] star matching the two of them. He had never had such a compassionate heart. It is absolutely impossible for him to let Xu Xingxia continue to live. The policy of dividing the land of the white-clothed army makes [***] star very taboo. There is no possibility of reconciling this contradiction. The only possibility for him to use Zhu Yilan is to lure Xu Xingxia out and create an opportunity to assassinate Xu Xingxia for the killers of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

If he didn't guess wrong, the old man might want to kill Zhu Yilan together. It is estimated that in the old man's mind, Zhu Yilan, as the county lord of the imperial court and the daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince, how can he mix with the thieves? It's too embarrassing for the court! This matter must never be spread! Otherwise, the imperial court will not be able to justify itself. Therefore, the best way is to kill people. Kill all the people involved!

A few ministers whispered quietly. Soon, other ministers also joined the ranks of whispering. Emperor Wanli on the dragon throne was drowsy, and he couldn't control them for the time being, so they were unscrupulous. Wang Tiqian, the eunuch in the palace, wanted to show his authority and reprimand the court as if it was a vegetable market, but Emperor Wanli did not have any will. In desperation, I had to endure it for the time being.

Some officials also know a little about Zhu Yilan and Xu Xingxia, but they don't have [***] star details. As for killing Xu Xingxia, they naturally have no opinion at all. The white-clothed army's policy of dividing land and land also deeply tabooed them. Everyone in the Qianqing Palace, which family is not rich in fertile land? It is the eunuch Wang Tiqian in the palace, and his family also has thousands of acres of fertile land. How could they be willing to give up all this fertile land?

However, they were absolutely not in favor of such drastic means to solve Xu Xingxia and his white-clothed army. It's not because such a method is not good, or because they think that such a method is too despicable, but they feel that such a method has no possibility of success at all. If Xu Xingxia is really provoked, the consequences will be even more serious. In fact, no one would believe that Xu Xingxia would really stop because of Zhu Yilan.

In the final analysis, Zhu Yilan is just a woman. The identity of the county lord, in front of Xu Xingxia, has no value at all. No matter how beautiful a woman is, her attraction to a man is limited. No man is willing to give up everything for a woman. Especially in the face of powerful power, women have almost no chance of defeating power. People like Xu Xingxia, who have risen from the bottom, know the preciousness of power the most. For the sake of a woman, without her own power, it is simply impossible.

As for the murder of Xu Xingxia, to be honest, it was very difficult. The various officials present more or less got some news from the mouths of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. The current Yansui Town and other places, but the water is impassable, and there is almost no possibility for spies to infiltrate, let alone dispatch killers. In addition, Xu Xingxia's perverted archery skills are estimated to be impressed by many people. Even if the killer has a chance to get close to Xu Xingxia, it is difficult to have a chance to kill the other party completely!

Yang Dongming suddenly said: "This is Your Majesty's family matter, what's wrong?" ”

Those ministers who were pondering in their hearts immediately stopped whispering when they heard Yang Dongming's words, as if they were listening to the lecture very much. The meaning of Yang Dongming's words is very rich, and they understand the meaning, so they naturally have to actively cooperate. If at this time, anyone stupidly refutes Yang Dongming, it will be a fool. Yang Dongming wants to turn the whole thing into the affairs of Emperor Wanli, and clear up the relationship with the ministers.

Emperor Wanli is not a fool. How could a fool be an emperor for decades? Despite his age, he was not in good health, his spirit was not good, he was so drowsy that he could not even open his eyes. The super dull whispers just now were because he found that Emperor Wanli was not in good spirits and couldn't control them. Otherwise, how can there be chaos like a vegetable market in the serious court? However, as soon as Yang Dongming said this, Emperor Wanli's heart was suddenly unhappy.

These bastards, they all think I'm confused. Every time a court meeting was held before, they had joined forces to bully me like this, and this time was no exception. They didn't have the ability to deal with this Xu Xingxia, so they relied on my family affairs as much as possible. Since it's a family matter, it's my own business, and it has nothing to do with them. It is said that the ability of this group of people to shirk responsibility is indescribably strong, and it is true.

In fact, Emperor Wanli really didn't care much about this Xu Xingxia. Forty-five years on the throne of the emperor, what wind and waves has he not seen in his old man? He said that himself, the Tatars, the barbarians of Guizhou, all kinds of people, were once his opponents, and as a result, they were all defeated by him. Therefore, for the military struggle, the Wanli Emperor was still very confident. On the contrary, the most difficult thing to deal with is these courtiers in front of you.

As mentioned before, the northwest region of the Ming Dynasty has always been dry and rainless, the ridge is poor, and the people cannot make ends meet, which is almost no benefit to the imperial court. On the contrary, a large amount of money and food is invested every year to maintain the stability of the region. The burden of money and food is getting heavier and heavier. Emperor Wanli's heart also wanted to rest assured. Therefore, for the turmoil in the northwest, the Wanli Emperor just waited and watched. Until the last minute, no opinion will be expressed. Unless Xu Xingxia directly threatens the capital, Emperor Wanli will make a move.
