[Chapter 576] Zhu Yilan's painful choice

For a while, the crowd was surging and the voices were boiling, as if it was a volcanic crater eruption. What was originally a good banquet turned into a condemnation meeting for the imperial court. Everyone is venting their dissatisfaction with the court to their heart's content. The suffering of the military households in Yansui Town, if you want to talk about it, it is really impossible to talk about it for three days and three nights. Usually, these sufferings are buried in the bottom of my heart, and I rarely tell them to the outside world. Now, suddenly there is an opportunity to vent, and they are infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and everyone can't help but vent their inner pain. It can really be said that there are tears, and the cuckoo is crying blood.

Zhu Yilan, Sawana and the others were completely stunned. What a good banquet turned into a mourning party. Between their mouths, all they heard were attacks on the court and hatred for the government. Some people, when it comes to emotion, can't wait to do it on the spot and tear up all those dog officials. Fortunately, [***] Xing did not reveal his identity, otherwise, his old bones would definitely be lost here, and the bones would be gone.

Rao is [***] star has experienced many storms, in the face of such a scene, he can only obediently shut up. Unless he wants to die, he wants to cause public outrage. The two attendants beside him were even more pale, without the slightest trace of blood. These people were so excited, if they really rushed up, the two of them would not be able to stop them at all. Maybe even the bones of them are gone. They secretly slandered themselves, how could their masters not see the situation clearly? Is it possible to talk casually in a place like this? Don't die on your own!

Xu Xingxia suddenly felt that he had been missing a very important action, that is, the grievance conference. This is a magic weapon that our party and army have tried and tested time and time again. Looking at the excited appearance of these people in front of them, if they take out the magic weapon of the grievance meeting, under the excitement of the crowd, even if there are no muskets, they will dare to go up and attack the capital! If the magic weapon of the grievance conference is spread to the whole country, hehe...... It is simply impossible to imagine the consequences.

Hu Jiamu glared at a pair of murderous eyes, and said to [***] Xing Qiang: "This old man, I don't know what you said just now, what is your intention?" You're a person sent by the imperial court, right? Our reply, you've seen it. Not going to the trouble of the imperial court is the kindness of the committee leader, not that we don't want to! We've long wanted to clean up the dog's court! If you are from the court, go back and tell your master that you won't be able to jump for a few days! ”

Someone next to him chimed in loudly and shouted, "Yes! You can't be jumping for a few days! Dare to come and attack our Yansui Town, haha, it's just talking nonsense with your eyes open! ”

The other people also roared and shouted one after another, they were going to attack the Jingshi and drag the Dog Emperor down and beat him to death. Someone rolled up his sleeves on the spot, as if he was going to do it immediately, and there was a great momentum to extinguish this morning food. There were also people who came out with captured weapons such as thunderbolts, flying birds, and three-eyed guns. Even if he didn't have a musket, he had a scimitar in his hand.

What's even more exaggerated is that as soon as the groom official takes off his dress, he will return to the team immediately. He was originally a soldier of the Shooting Sound Army, and this time he came back from leave to hold a wedding. He didn't figure out the situation either, and thought that there was really an imperial army trying to attack Yansui Town, and he didn't even have the intention of getting married. I just thought about returning to the team immediately and beating up his mother's officers and soldiers. Fortunately, I finally figured out what was going on, so I put on my clothes again and got married. Otherwise, when Xu Xingxia turned here, he would really mess up other people's marriages. O sin!

was scolded by the crowd excitedly, [***] Xing's face was so white that there was no trace of blood. While he was annoyed that these people didn't know what to do, he also deeply felt the power of fear of these people. Regardless of whether these people were instigated by Xu Xingxia, or were bewitched by Xu Xingxia. Anyway, judging from the current situation, if the imperial army really tried to attack Yansui Town, they would definitely fight desperately with the imperial army.

With [***] Xing's understanding of the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops in various places, it is really enough for the officers and troops to recover Yansui Town. Even if the main force of the white-clothed army does not intervene, these angry people alone can make the officials and soldiers suffer. The original weapons of the officials and soldiers in Ningxia Town, Gansu Town, and Yansui Town all fell into the hands of these people. Judging from the situation just now, these people almost have one musket per person. When a real battle starts, it is really unpredictable who will win and who will lose. If there is a white-clothed army next to them, there is no hope for the officers and soldiers.

Such a result made [***] Xing feel even more frustrated. His worst idea was to lose Gansu Town and Ningxia Town to Xu Xingxia, but Yansui Town must be recovered. Nothing else, the reason is that the geographical location of Yansui Town is too important, and it has already threatened the Jingshi. If the white-clothed army continues to control Yansui Town, the emperor and ministers of the Jingshi will probably be restless. The officers and troops in Shanxi may not be used!

However, everything that happened just now clearly told [***] Xing that the imperial court wanted to recover Yansui Town, but I was afraid that there was no possibility. Unless, it was the imperial court that was desperate to open up another Liaodong battlefield in Yansui Town, and invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. However, the current imperial court cannot afford it. The Liaodong battlefield has already consumed a lot of taxes, and if a battlefield is still opened in Yansui Town, I am afraid that the finances of the imperial court will soon collapse.

"What should I do?"

Star was in pain and asked himself helplessly.

As a result, after thinking about it, there is no answer to this question.

His starting point is simply wrong, and naturally there will be no answer. He didn't care about the lives of the people in front of him. All he cared about was taking back control of the land. It is better if all the people of the land are dead, leaving only the land. In this way, they can enclose more land. In other words, the land currently owned by the [***] Star family is less than 100,000 mu, which is far worse than the Ye Xianggao family, and we have to continue to work hard!

…… Zhu Yilan lowered her head, her mind blank. Her only reaction to what was happening in front of her was to be sad. She has long known that the court and the government are not good in the eyes of the people, and the people have very deep complaints about the government, but she also encountered such a crowd with surging emotions and directly clamoring to rebel and kill the emperor. Anyway, the emperor in the Forbidden City is also her grandfather! What could she say to her grandfather?

For his grandfather, Zhu Yilan's feelings are very complicated. Personally, grandpa treats her pretty well. At the very least, it was more affectionate than her attitude towards her father. In the inner courtyard of the palace where Concubine Zheng Guifei covered the sky with one hand, she could also move around freely. However, if she thought that she could change some of her grandfather's minds, she was very wrong. Her grandfather was definitely one of the most stubborn emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Countless ministers of the first assistant couldn't change his mind, let alone a weak woman.

Because of the struggle for the country and other issues, her grandfather is extremely distrustful of the people around him. Her father and the ministers, needless to say. Even, including Zheng Guifei, it is impossible to know what he really thinks. In recent years, this has been even more so. If she hopes that she can change her grandfather's style of doing things with her own strength, it is absolutely impossible. And if grandpa's style of accidents does not change for a day, if he does not actively go to court for a day, and does not actively deal with political affairs, the country will continue to sink until it perishes.

What to do in the future? She was at a loss. She had never felt that she was so weak, so powerless, so entangled and helpless. She had seen a lot of things happening, but she couldn't do anything about it. She has always been smart and clever, but in the face of such a national event, she feels that she has no role at all. In fact, even if she made a few moves, it couldn't change the trajectory of things. Her personal strength is indeed too weak and can be ignored at all.

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Xingxia had quietly left. He knew very well that if he continued to stay by Zhu Yilan's side, it would only increase her pain. On the contrary, if she is not by her side, Zhu Yilan will have a lot of room for reading and thinking. No matter who it is, in her position, it will be very painful. Unless it's the kind of person who lives like a pig, and doesn't care about national affairs, he won't feel pain.

One side is one's own relatives. On the one hand, it is the trend of history. Where to go is her free choice. This night, Zhu Yilan was completely insomnia. Later, she simply sat up and sat on the bed in a silent daze until dawn. Sawana saw it on the side, feeling very heartbroken, and there was no way to comfort the other party. This is what Zhu Yilan must experience. Who told her to be in this position? Who told her to have a relationship with Xu Xingxia?

…… Xing was also violently reacted by the people of Gaojiabao, so that he didn't fall asleep all night. The old man already felt less, and if he was tossed like this, he would not be sleepy at all. He spent the whole night walking around the courtyard, irritable. Everything that happened during the day made [***] Star feel very uncomfortable. In the dead of night, he had to reflect painfully on what caused everything that happened during the day.

From his point of view, the situation in Yansui Town is beyond imagination. He knew very well that if the people at the bottom rose up against the government, it would really be hopeless. I think the original Yuan Dynasty was also finished like this. However, [***] Xing couldn't believe it anyway that the Ming Dynasty had come to such a point. Is the government at the bottom really so bad?
