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

Chapter 13 Chu Nan was promoted again to the third rank, with a reward of one thousand taels!

"This, this is not possible. This is absolutely not possible." But when it came to this, Liu Bowen could no longer accept it.

"With surveillance to this extent, do Ming officials still have any privacy? This is not in line with ethical principles. We believe in Confucius and read his books!"

"How can you be so against moral principles? This is absolutely not allowed."

"Yes!" Most of the princes also shook their heads.

"This is not what Teacher Song Lian and the others taught us. This is too toxic. No, no."

Zhu Biao shook his head wildly. He had a kind personality and was determined to be a benevolent monarch.

"As a ruler, you should convince your ministers with your benevolence and let them imitate you. The previous measures were a last resort, and the last one is really too much."

"If you can't be upright, how can your ministers behave properly? So Lord Chu's method is still too much."

Chu Nan also frowned suddenly. These people actually denied his idea?

"Lord Liu, Royal Brother, and all the brothers, but I think Lord Chu's idea is very good." But as soon as they finished speaking, before Chu Nan could refute, Zhu Di actually spoke.

He looked at the people who were objecting with a serious expression.

"Don't forget, my father said that this book of the sage can be read by the common people, ministers, and the emperor and his sons, but can the emperor and his sons govern the world completely according to the way of the sage?"

"Big brother will be the emperor in the future, and we will be vassal kings in the future. Governing the world and governing the fiefdom are the same. It depends more on the emperor's mentality, not the way of the saint."

"As for the so-called emperor's mind, in my opinion, it may not be half as kind as Lord Chu's scheme, so Lord Chu's vicious scheme to govern the world can be used, and it should be reused!"

"This..." After hearing Zhu Di's words, everyone present was stunned, even Zhu Biao was in deep thought.

Indeed, after Zhu Biao, he would become the emperor, and the princes would become princes. How could he be too kind?

One must not go too far to correct a wrong; in an emergency, one must take the flexibility.

It is better for one family to cry than for all to cry.

It is better for officials to cry than for ordinary people to cry.

Zhu Di’s words do make sense, and Chu Nan’s strategy is indeed good.

"Good!" After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been silent all the time, looked at Zhu Di with joy on his face.

Then he reached out and touched Zhu Di's head lovingly: "Boy, these few words are well said!"

"It's just a pity..." However, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking here.

Instead, he sighed in his heart, because he always felt that Zhu Di was like him, with a decisive temper and a murderous personality, just like him in his bones.

What a pity, you are not the boss.

"Hehe." Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang rarely praised him, Zhu Di actually became proud.

"Thank you for your praise, Father. I was inspired by Lord Chu's words and came up with these ideas."

"Lord Chu has made the officials' bedmates our people. Even the most powerful people could not have imagined that no corrupt official could escape."

"After all, even a wise man like Li Shimin would never have thought that Wu Meiniang had an affair with his son Li Zhi."

"Father would never have thought that Mother was actually an undercover agent of the enemy army."

"What!" But the Huagai Palace, which was filled with a happy atmosphere just now, was now instantly filled with shock.

Zhu Biao, Liu Bowen, and the princes all stared at Zhu Di in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

My dear, I can just joke and use analogies, but you are really going too far.

At this moment, Chu Nan also swallowed his saliva, then took a few steps back weakly.

Who was Empress Ma? She was Zhu Yuanzhang’s white moonlight who shared hardships with him when he was at the bottom of society. It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid of anyone in his life except Empress Ma.

Empress Ma was also Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite woman. Historically, when Empress Ma died, Zhu Yuanzhang cried all night.

Empress Ma was also Zhu Di's mother. Chu Nan was confused. Was Zhu Di really the Yongle Emperor who would dominate the world in the future? How could he be so naughty when he was a child and dare to joke with Empress Ma?

"I'm going to beat you to death!" At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also became furious.

He actually grabbed Zhu Di and started beating him violently.

"I just praised you, and you dare to go up to the roof and tear down the tiles? You even dare to make fun of your mother. You are really a filial son. You are so brave!" "I thought you were very much like me! Now I just think you are a monkey with a pointed face and no imperial aura at all!"

"Pa pa pa!" Beat him up!
"Father, I was wrong!" Zhu Di knew he had said the wrong thing and cried for mercy.

“That’s wrong!”

"Clap clap clap!"

“I’m so wrong, ahhhh!”

"Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap!"

“I’m really wrong, ahhhhhhhhhh!!!”

“Pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah!!!”

……

"Huh." After fighting for a cup of tea, Zhu Yuanzhang changed several postures and finally got tired.

Then he threw the unconscious Zhu Di to the ground, returned to the dragon throne and sat down.

Then, he looked at Chu Nan again: "Chu Nan, your plan is very good, so I will use your plan! And you should also get the reward you deserve!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly became serious: "Chu Nan, listen to the order!"

"Appoint Chu Nan as the Deputy Chief Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, a third-rank official, and reward him with one thousand taels of gold, a mansion, thirty slaves, and ten guards."

"What!" Upon hearing the reward, Liu Bowen and the princes were also shocked and looked at Chu Nan with joy.

"Congratulations, Master Chu. You are already a third-rank deputy censor at the age of 19. You are truly blessed with a prosperous career!"

"Chu boy, one thousand taels of gold. With my salary as Liu Bowen, I don't know how long it will take to save it. You are so lucky!"

"There should be a woman among these servants, Master Chu, you, hehe..."

"Your Majesty!" Chu Nan was very happy to hear the reward. It was indeed very generous.

For example, regarding this one thousand taels of gold, in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that one tael of gold was equal to four taels of silver, so Chu Nan had four thousand taels of silver.

In the early Ming Dynasty, three cents could buy a pound of rice with husk, but one tael of silver was equal to one thousand cents. So, let's calculate, how much grain can Chu Nan buy with his four thousand taels of silver?
In ancient times, food was of paramount importance. Many people would give away their beautiful wives and daughters for a few kilograms of food, so Chu Nan was now an absolute rich man.

But he still became worried: "This official position, the third rank is too high."

He can give money, but his official position is too high and he wants to keep a low profile.

"You don't need to worry." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. He naturally knew the safety issues that Chu Nan was worried about.

"I will find an excuse to allow you to obtain this position reasonably. You don't need to worry too much about safety issues."

"Okay then." Chu Nan felt relieved when he heard that the safety issue he was most worried about was guaranteed, and he quickly thanked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, I, Chu Nan, would like to thank you very much. I wish you great fortune and a long life!"

"Smooth talk." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled.

"Then you can go back and rest."

"Okay, I'll take my leave." Then Chu Nan left.

But after turning around, he began to think deeply. Although Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to help him cover it up, he was still a little worried. After all, being a third-rank official at the age of 19 was too eye-catching in any dynasty.

No, he also had to cover up himself, for example, by appearing to be unambitious and extravagant in front of ministers.

Only in this way can he give people like Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian a feeling of being non-threatening, and they will not pay attention to him.

Then starting from tomorrow, I will start installing it myself.

Now, let’s go and take a look at the mansion that Zhu Yuanzhang gave me. After all, it is where I will live in the future.

Moreover, there are some modern things that Chu Nan had difficulty getting before because he lacked space, but now he finally has a place to get them. If he wants to live a good life in this era, he needs strategy and some modern technology.

After Chu Nan left, Zhu Yuanzhang and others also discussed important matters.
