Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 103: Chu Nan’s horrific plot. Lan Yu was beaten and dismissed from his post, but he still kowtowed to thank Chu Nan!
Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around again and stared fiercely at the two people in front of him. As expected, his face was ice-cold.

"I can't stand it anymore. I don't want to engage in any more conspiracies or intrigues. I don't want to see Lan Yu's arrogant and complacent look anymore. I want Lan Yu to be in trouble!!!"

"This..." When the princes heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, their faces changed drastically.

Originally, Chu Nan's strategy for Zhu Yuanzhang was to have Zhu Yuanzhang praise Lan Yu in various ways, and then let them learn things, and when Lan Yu became useless, he would simply abandon him.

He began to deny Lan Yu in the court, then weakened the people around Lan Yu, and then began to bully him.

But this time, this kid Lan Yu was so arrogant that his father didn't want to wait any longer and almost said he would kill him.

So they thought it was outrageous. Lan Yu, Lan Yu, you are so good at fighting, how come you don't know that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger? The ways of the world!

However, Chu Nan's expression remained calm, because he was a person from the future and had long known that Lan Yu would have such a day.

At the same time, Chu Nan also felt that he should be more cautious, as the consequences of angering Zhu Yuanzhang would be very serious.

"Chu Nan, Mr. Yao." At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"So you two, quickly tell me what methods you have to deal with this Lan Yu."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little impatient and wanted to give Lan Yu a good beating.

"Is there any solution?" Yao Guangxiao frowned when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

In fact, you are an emperor, isn't it easy to deal with Lan Yu? Why are you asking us?
But there is nothing you can do about it. You still have to rely on Lan Yu to help you kill the enemies, and your prince still has to learn from him.

So Yao Guangxiao thought for a moment and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think that since Lan Yu is so arrogant now, he should be taught a lesson."

"He doesn't need to lead those 75,000 men anymore. He should give up the position of commander-in-chief to other generals, and he will be the deputy commander to suppress their arrogance."

"But the head coach must be someone who can control him."

Yao Guangxiao’s idea was very simple. Lan Yu must not be killed now, after all, he was still relying on him to fight in the war. And he couldn’t be punished too severely, such as directly demoting him to a soldier.

What if they rebel? Now is the time for battle, and changing generals is a big taboo. If they rebel, it will be troublesome. If they surrender to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will be passive.

After all, Lan Yu also has prestige in the army, and it would be troublesome if everyone responded to his call.

"This is a good idea." After hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, the princes present all nodded.

"As expected of Mr. Yao, this can not only suppress Lan Yu, but also take into account that he will not rebel."

"Yes, this way I can continue to learn from him. Mr. Yao's method is good."

The princes all smiled and agreed.

"Hmm?" But Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard it. What's good about it? Don't I still have to endure it?
Can't I let out this anger?

So he did not comment on Yao Guangxiao's plan, but looked directly at Chu Nan who was standing aside: "Chu Nan, what do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao’s plan could not let him vent his anger, so he hoped that Chu Nan’s plan could help him vent his anger.

Chu Nan is the best poison master under his command. If Chu Nan can't let him vent his anger, he will be really furious.

"Is that what I think?" But when Chu Nan heard this, his expression became serious.

Zhu Yuanzhang really thought of himself as a god. He actually asked directly. However, he had actually thought about it when Lan Yu went crazy, so he already had a plan.

Then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I do have a humble opinion."

"Hurry up and speak." But Zhu Yuanzhang was already a little impatient. Chu Nan, you still have a humble opinion. It's outrageous. Why are you being so modest? The other princes were also speechless. Excessive modesty is pride. Then they all looked forward to seeing what Chu Nan would do.

Yao Guangxiao was also looking forward to it, because he found that after he finished telling Zhu Yuanzhang about his plan, Zhu Yuanzhang did not comment or praise it, so Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with his plan.

Therefore, he became curious about what Chu Nan's plan would be. Could it be better than his?

"Your Majesty." At this time, Chu Nan also spoke.

"My plan is actually very simple."

"It is this Lan Yu who has bullied Your Majesty too much. Why does Your Majesty keep him around? Although you cannot kill him now, there is no need to reuse him."

"Your Majesty, please remove Lan Yu from all his official positions, make him an ordinary soldier, and then distribute his troops to other generals!"

"This will severely undermine Lan Yu's arrogance and make him realize how powerful I am. This is my plan to deal with Lan Yu."

"What?" But when Chu Nan said this, the princes and Yao Guangxiao present were all shocked.

Because this strategy was almost the opposite of Yao Guangxiao's. Yao Guangxiao just wanted to suppress Lan Yu, but Chu Nan just wanted to directly defeat Lan Yu.

But even though it was the opposite, they all felt it was very unreasonable.

Yao Guangxiao: "Lord Chu, how can this be done? This is not possible. Lan Yu has a high reputation in the army. If he becomes a soldier, he will definitely hate him."

"If he leads his soldiers to rebel, or surrenders to the Northern Yuan people, the Ming army will be in danger, and Your Majesty is still here."

Zhu Biao: "Yes, Lord Chu, I also think it is not right. Changing generals before a battle is already a taboo, and it is even more taboo to keep them all the way."

"Yes, this won't work." The other princes also objected.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He actually wanted to kill Lan Yu with a single blow, but he couldn't do that now.

Because he still has to use Lan Yu, and not only can he not kill him all at once, he can't just get rid of him completely either, because it would be troublesome if Lan Yu really hated him.

Moreover, an arrogant person like Lan Yu might really have hatred.

He said to Chu Nan: "Chu Nan, I'm afraid this won't work. Have you forgotten that there are spies in this camp arranged by the traitors in the court?"

"If Lan Yu is really demoted, this traitor might contact Lan Yu, try to turn Lan Yu against him, and then join forces with the Northern Yuan people. That would be troublesome."

"Yes." After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, the princes suddenly realized why they hadn't thought of this. That would be even more terrifying.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was there, otherwise they would not have thought of it, which would have been really terrible.

Then they all felt that Chu Nan’s plan didn’t work.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have already thought of the problem of traitors. Moreover, it is because of this that I suggested treating Lan Yu and others as such."

"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled when they heard this.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "What do you mean, removing Lan Yu from all positions has anything to do with finding the traitor?"

Yao Guangxiao was also a little confused. What was the connection?... No, but Yao Guangxiao was a top strategist after all. Then he suddenly figured everything out and looked at Chu Nan in shock.

But at this moment, Chu Nan had already given the answer.

"Your Majesty, if you completely demote Lan Yu and punish him severely, there will definitely be a traitor who will contact Lan Yu and persuade him to rebel. Then Lan Yu will provide information, and the Northern Yuan will launch a surprise attack."

"But if Your Majesty hits Lan Yu, is this a self-torture tactic?"
