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

Chapter 129: Hu Weiyong's response: Can't tell who is the poisonous scholar? Just kill Yao Guangxiao and Chu Nan

Lan Yu used to be a member of the Huaixi party, in the same group as Hu Weiyong, but now Lan Yu has betrayed the Northern Yuan people so badly that Tu Jie and other Hu Weiyong's followers all think that Lan Yu is no longer in the same group as Hu Weiyong.

Because Tu Jie knew that Hu Weiyong had some disputes with the Northern Yuan people, and now Lan Yu must be the enemy of the Northern Yuan people, so how could Hu Weiyong be friends with Lan Yu?
So after receiving the news that Lan Yu had returned to Nanjing, Tu Jie immediately came to Hu Weiyong, intending to have Hu Weiyong kill Lan Yu and then try to please the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"Oh?" But after hearing Tu Jie's words, Hu Weiyong shook his head and laughed. He looked at Tu Jie.

"Censor Tu, if we kill Lan Yu, who will fight for us in the future?"

Hu Weiyong didn't finish his words, but the next second Tu Jie understood what he meant and suddenly realized it.

What Hu Weiyong meant was that if he wanted to seize the Ming Dynasty in the future, Lan Yu would always be his man. But if Lan Yu died, who would he, Hu Weiyong, rely on to protect the world?
After all, if Hu Weiyong really took over the world, people like Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Tang He would definitely not help him.

"Sir, I..." Tu Jie now realized that he was wrong and admitted it immediately.

"I was wrong, and your Excellency is far-sighted. We should..." Tu Jie was curious about what Hu Weiyong would do next.

"It's easy." After hearing Tu Jie's words, Hu Weiyong also made arrangements.

"Just don't do anything, don't tell anyone the news that Lan Yu returned to Nanjing, that way the Northern Yuan people won't touch him, he can return to Beijing in comfort, and I, Hu Weiyong, can get a good general."

"After he returns to Jinling, I will tell Lan Yu. Then Lan Yu will understand that I saved his life, and he will be more useful to me."

"Your Excellency is wise!" Tu Jie was shocked when he heard Hu Weiyong's words. He was not flattering him, he really thought Hu Weiyong was capable, otherwise he would not have joined him.

"These are all trivial matters." Hu Weiyong shook his head and laughed when he heard it.

"The military officers don't have much in mind. Isn't it easy for me to win them over? The most difficult and most annoying ones are the civil officials."

When he said this, a figure flashed across Hu Weiyong's eyes, and he felt so angry that his teeth itched.

"Sir, there is one more thing." At this time, Tu Jie became curious again about another thing in the capital.

"Yang Xian has been active in the capital recently. He has been secretly contacting the leaders of various departments. It seems that he is going to do something big. Should we be prepared?"

It turns out that what Empress Ma told Zhu Yuanzhang was that there was an undercurrent in Nanjing, and it was not Hu Weiyong who was pushing it, but Yang Xian.

"Haha." But when he heard the news, Hu Weiyong's face turned gloomy.

"If Yang Xian wants to make a move, let him do it. He was originally the prime minister, but now he has become a local official. He must be resentful and dissatisfied. He should be allowed to vent his anger, right?"

"Just keep everything under control. Wait until he makes a big noise, and then deal with him. Wouldn't that make us look more meritorious?"

"That makes sense." Tu Jie smiled immediately after hearing Hu Weiyong's words.

Hu Weiyong's idea is reasonable. Yang Xian is now in a state of disarray. How much trouble can he stir up? Hu Weiyong is now in charge of Nanjing, and Yang Xian is here to give him a political achievement.

It’s a pity for Yang Xian. Before he could even take any action, all actions were under the control of Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong's face remained calm. When Yang Xian was full of vigor and vitality, he, Hu Weiyong, admitted that he could not defeat him.

But now, who is Yang Xian? He has no qualifications at all to fight with Hu Weiyong. If Hu Weiyong wants to kill Yang Xian, he only needs to move his fingers.

Letting him jump now was just to win credit in front of Zhu Yuanzhang later, and that was Yang Xian's role now. "Anything else?" Seeing that Tu Jie's reports were all trivial matters, Hu Weiyong also lost his patience to listen to the intelligence and wanted Tu Jie to leave so that he and his wife and concubines could have a rest.

"There is one more thing." When Tu Jie saw Hu Weiyong asking, he also started talking.

"This is also the news from the grasslands. It is said that Yao Guangxiao is going back to Nanjing. This Yao Guangxiao is the one who planned the ambush on the Northern Yuan Dynasty..."

"So I'm thinking, should we go find out the route Yao Guangxiao took back to Nanjing, and then give the route to the Beiyuan people? After all, the Beiyuan people hated Yao Guangxiao to death."

"Huh?" But after hearing Tu Jie's words, Hu Weiyong frowned and widened his eyes.

"Yao Guangxiao is going back to Nanjing?"

"Yeah..." Tu Jie was shocked. Why did he ask himself the same question again?

"Okay!" After Tu Jie said this, Hu Weiyong immediately became happy.

"Very good, very good. The Northern Yuan people were so defeated that they were so angry that they didn't even dare to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty."

"Yao Guangxiao actually came out at this time. He is simply a punching bag. As long as Yao Guangxiao is killed, the morale of the Northern Yuan people will surely increase greatly, and they will be able to fight Zhu Yuanzhang again."

"That makes sense." Tu Jie smiled when he heard Hu Weiyong's words.

"As expected of you, my Lord. You are so far-sighted...but..." But Tu Jie remembered something and became worried.

"But sir, what if Yao Guangxiao is a trap, using Yao Guangxiao as bait to lure the Northern Yuan people into the trap? What will happen then?"

"Your worries are not without reason." After hearing Tu Jie's words, Hu Weiyong thought seriously and nodded.

But he soon shook his head again: "In fact, this official is also gambling. This official is gambling whether the matter of Yao Guangxiao is a trap. But this matter, this official must gamble."

"Because if they win the bet, Yao Guangxiao will die, and the morale of the Northern Yuan people will rise. If they lose the bet, only the Northern Yuan people will die. Anyway, they have already lost once, so their morale will not be too low."

"So no matter what, it is beneficial to me, Hu Weiyong, and not harmful, so why don't I, Hu Weiyong, gamble."

"That makes sense." After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Tu Jie was shocked. He was worthy of being called Lord Hu. He really considered a lot.

"But..." But he was worried about something else.

"We don't know the exact route Yao Guangxiao took back to Beijing yet, so we need to use our spies to investigate. If we are not careful and the spies are exposed, then our spies will die."

"What are you afraid of?" But after hearing Tu Jie's words, Hu Weiyong looked disdainful.

"They are just a few spies. If they die, they die. The benefits of this matter outweigh the risks. We must do it."

"Yes!" After hearing this, Tu Jie no longer refuted and went downstairs to arrange things.

"Hehe." When Hu Weiyong saw Tu Jie leaving, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

Yao Guangxiao?
I don’t know whether it was you or Chu Nan who plotted against Zhu Yuanzhang behind the scenes, but no matter what, both of you must die!
