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

Chapter 120 Zhu Yuanzhang’s vicious scheme, the pit he dug made Chu Nan sweat!
He was shocked. Was Zhu Yuanzhang going to break his promise? Zhu Yuanzhang had promised him personally that if he helped him get things done, he would reward him handsomely.

"Everyone." At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also spoke to the people below.

"I have just rewarded many generals and soldiers. They have all made countless contributions in this battle against the Northern Yuan people and deserve to be rewarded."

"Besides them, there is another person who has made considerable contributions, so I will reward this person as well!"

"Oh? It's me?" Upon hearing this, Lan Yu immediately became happy. Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about him?

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not forget him, and that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely reward him individually. Thinking of this, he suddenly became happy and looked forward to the reward Zhu Yuanzhang would give him.

"Everyone." At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more and spoke directly.

"Mr. Yao Guangxiao is both virtuous and talented, and he has made great contributions to me. It would be unreasonable for me not to reward him, so I must reward him."

"The deputy commander of the Jinyiwei has died. I will give money to comfort his family, but this position cannot be left vacant. In this case, Mr. Yao will take over temporarily."

"At the same time, Mr. Yao will be granted the title of Earl of Loyalty, a mansion, and three thousand taels of gold!"

"What!" When the reward was announced, everyone in the audience was in an uproar, and Lan Yu was shocked.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief. What was going on? Was this the biggest reward? Shouldn't the biggest reward be given to Lan Yu? Why was it given to Yao Guangxiao now? Lan Yu really didn't understand.

The other generals and soldiers were confused. Could it be that Yao Guangxiao was the one who made the greatest contribution in the fight against the Northern Yuan? That shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't they be the ones who led the charge? Did Yao Guangxiao kill any enemy?

"This..." Even Chu Nan was shocked at this moment. Zhu Yuanzhang's move was to make everyone believe that Yao Guangxiao made great contributions in this battle to destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Then, after Hu Weiyong learned the news, he would be even more convinced that it was Yao Guangxiao's scheme that deceived the Northern Yuan people.

Then Hu Weiyong might be even more convinced that all these schemes were proposed by Yao Guangxiao, and at that time, Hu Weiyong would definitely be eager to deal with Yao Guangxiao.

However, Chu Nan became worried. If this happened, Yao Guangxiao’s situation would become even more dangerous.

The princes also became worried. Lord Yao would have no way out if this continued.

But facing their gazes, Yao Guangxiao seemed very calm. He knew very well that now that things had come to this point, he had no way out.

If there is no way out, then there is no way out. Moving forward and going all the way to the end is also a way out, isn't it?

Then he did not hesitate and went straight to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, I, Yao Guangxiao, thank you very much."

He accepted all the rewards given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yeah." After listening to Yao Guangxiao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded.

"Do your best. As long as you continue to work for me, I will give you, Yao Guangxiao, more and better rewards."

Then he looked at everyone present and spoke.

"It's the same for you all. As long as you serve me sincerely, I will definitely treat you well!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the other generals and soldiers also agreed.

"Okay, that's it." Then Zhu Yuanzhang was about to leave.

"Your Majesty!" But at this time, Lan Yu could no longer hold back his inner thoughts and spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang. "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, all the generals and soldiers present turned around and looked at Lan Yu. Thousands of eyes were staring at him.

"You?" Zhu Yuanzhang also turned around at this moment, stared at Lan Yu with cold eyes, and then smiled coldly.

"You? What's wrong with you? Lan Yu, what do you want?"

"Ah?" Lan Yu was shocked when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words. What was he doing? What else could he do? Wasn't his job to make Zhu Yuanzhang fulfill his promise?

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Lan Yu was really panicked. Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to keep his promise? He wanted to use Lan Yu to cheat the Northern Yuan people and then abandon him?

If that were the case, Zhu Yuanzhang would be too ruthless, and Lan Yu would be really angry to death.

So he became anxious: "Your Majesty, have you really forgotten..."

"Hmm!" But before Lan Yu could finish his words, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him directly and looked shocked.

"Yes, how could I forget you, Lan Yu? You, Lan Yu, have made the greatest contribution this time."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, the generals and soldiers present were all puzzled. Wasn't Lan Yu beaten for angering Zhu Yuanzhang? How could he have made such a contribution?
"Your Majesty!" But when Lan Yu heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he became delighted. Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his contributions and wanted to reward him?
Lan Yu was immediately extremely happy and looked forward to Zhu Yuanzhang's next words.

But others, such as Yao Guangxiao, Crown Prince Zhu Biao and other princes were puzzled. Didn't His Majesty hate Lan Yu? Why would he give him a reward?
Only Chu Nan remained silent, wondering why Zhu Yuanzhang did this?

"Lan Yu." At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to speak.

"If I want to reward you, of course I will reward you with Lan Yu."

Then he looked at all the soldiers and generals present and announced: "Everyone, you may not know that the person who made the greatest contribution to me in this attack on the Northern Yuan people is this Lan Yu."

"Because Lan Yu was beaten before, it was actually a self-torture trick played by him and me. The purpose was to lure out the traitor in my camp and pass on false information to the Beiyuan people, so the Beiyuan people fell for it."

"That's why the Beiyuan people lost more than 70,000 elite soldiers this time. So what do you think? Is Lan Yu's contribution great? Should he be rewarded?"

"Ah!" Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all the generals and soldiers present were shocked and looked incredulous.

It turns out that they were able to kill so many Northern Yuan people not because of their bravery, but because of the strategy used by Lan Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang?

"This..." Xu Da couldn't help but look at Lan Yu seriously.

"Blue Jade boy, did you do this?"

Xu Da was the number one man in the Ming army and had a very high prestige, but he was shocked. Seeing him shocked, Lan Yu also became happy.

"That's right, Duke Wei, this is what I, Lan Yu, did. Hahahaha, the people of Beiyuan and the traitor were deceived by me!"

"Great!" Hearing Lan Yu's admission, the generals and soldiers present were shocked, and then congratulated Lan Yu.

"Lan Yu, you are a good boy! Well done!"

"This time it's all thanks to General Lan Yu. Lan Yu is very capable. Your Majesty should reward General Lan Yu generously!"
