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

Chapter 153 Hu Weiyong was angry. Who gave Zhu Yuanzhang the plan and almost poisoned him to death?
"Hu Weiyong, Prime Minister Hu, my right-hand man and the backbone of the Ming Dynasty!"

"When I was away, he managed the court and planned the affairs of the country for me. When I was fighting in the front, Prime Minister Hu was in the rear to help me prepare the logistics. If it weren't for Prime Minister Hu, I wouldn't have been able to fight the Northern Yuan people so smoothly!"

"Prime Minister Hu has helped me so much. I don't know how to thank him enough!"

"Pass on my order!" Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order directly.

"Appoint Hu Weiyong as the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat, and promote him to Duke of Qin! Announce this to the world, and let the whole world celebrate!"

"Your Majesty!" Hu Weiyong was shocked when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's reward. He was very shocked.

The Duke of Qin is very noble, but that’s all. After all, it’s just a title and is of little use. But it is also useful because of the high status.

You must know that Li Shanchang, as Zhu Yuanzhang's first civil official and the former leader of the Huaixi Party, was also the Duke of Korea.

Hu Weiyong's title of Duke of Qin is more honorable than Li Shanchang's title.

The other reward is even more important: the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat. This is truly the number one person in the Ming Dynasty court, except for the emperor. He is second only to the emperor and above everyone else!
He can command all officials and is the head of all officials!
This position has real power! Hu Weiyong was so happy. Finally, he became the number one official in the Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to give him these honors also fully demonstrated that Zhu Yuanzhang did not find out what he did in Nanjing.

That proves that my approach of pushing everything onto Yang Xian was successful!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Seeing this situation, even a scheming man like Hu Weiyong was extremely happy at this moment. He then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang to express his gratitude.

"Your Majesty, your servant Hu Weiyong, would like to express his gratitude to you. Long live the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I will be even more loyal to Your Majesty in the future. I am willing to sacrifice my life for Your Majesty and go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Oh!" Seeing Hu Weiyong like this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again, then walked over and helped Hu Weiyong up.

"I've already said that you are a great contributor to our Ming Dynasty. I can't thank you enough. Why are you kneeling down again? Hurry and get up!"

"From now on, I will grant you the right not to kneel when you meet me. From now on, Hu Weiyong, you don't have to kneel when you meet anyone!"

"This!" Hearing this, Hu Weiyong was even more delighted. What a great honor!

His face was full of excitement: "Your Majesty, then please give me your orders. From now on, as long as you say the word, I will do anything for you! I am willing to die for you!"

"Okay, okay, I don't want you to die. You just need to be a good prime minister for the Ming Dynasty." The cruel Zhu Yuanzhang had a kind look on his face at this moment. He patted Hu Weiyong's shoulder and laughed.

At the same time, he looked at Chu Nan and Liu Bowen on the side.

"Why don't you two come and meet the new prime minister of the Ming Dynasty?"

When Liu Bowen saw him, he immediately performed the ceremony obediently: "Liu Bowen greets Prime Minister Hu. Prime Minister Hu is really young and promising. He must be a pillar of our Ming Dynasty!"

I worship him?
But when Chu Nan heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he looked disdainful. Who am I, Chu Nan? Why should I worship a dying person?
But because it was Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Chu Nan had no choice and spoke to Hu Weiyong.

"Your humble servant Chu Nan greets the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Hu! I will definitely assist Lord Hu in the future!"

"Good, good, very good." Seeing the two of them, especially Chu Nan like this, Hu Weiyong immediately felt very proud.

Chu Nan just now refused to even let his niece be his maid, and left arrogantly. If he insisted to stay, Chu Nan would lead his troops to attack the prime minister's residence.

But now, Chu Nan bowed to him? Hu Weiyong was so proud.

Haha, Chu Nan, you didn’t expect that the place where I’m standing is getting harder and harder for you to reach.

I am favored by His Majesty, how can you compare to me? Who do you think you are? I don't want to care about you anymore!
"That's right." Just when Hu Weiyong was feeling proud, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke to him curiously.

"Prime Minister Hu, you haven't told me yet what you are doing in the palace?"

Yes.

Chu Nan and Liu Bowen also remembered that Hu Weiyong had not yet mentioned why he came to the palace.

"That's right." Seeing them asking, Hu Weiyong also answered.

"I heard that Yang Xian committed crimes and was arrested by Your Majesty and was to be executed, so I came to the palace specially."

"And your Majesty's carriage has not yet crossed the Yellow River, but it has appeared in Jinling. Many people are shocked by this, so I came to the palace to confirm it."

"So that's what it is." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard Hu Weiyong's words.

"That really troubled Prime Minister Hu. My carriage was parked in the Yellow River as a deception, and Chu Nan was the imperial envoy, which was also a deception. Otherwise, how could we find out that Yang Xian had committed a serious crime?"

"Then I really made a mistake in using Yang Xian. He did indeed do too many things that are intolerable to heaven. I gave him a chance, but he still did not repent and reform. Therefore, I have decided to kill him completely!"

"So that's how it is!" Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Hu Weiyong immediately laughed and complimented Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty is truly extremely wise! I admire you! It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty, the world, and the country to have your wisdom!"

Although Hu Weiyong said this, he was shocked in his heart.

Fortunately, he had left Yang Xian behind before, otherwise he would have had no place to throw his dirty water, and at that time, he would have been really dead for sure.

At the same time, he was too shocked. Zhu Yuanzhang's plan was so terrible. He pretended to build a plank road while secretly marching through Chencang. Even he was deceived.

Who came up with this plan, Chu Nan or Yao Guangxiao?

As he thought about it, his hatred towards the two of them increased several points.

However, it is still a good thing to get rid of Yang Xian this time. After all, he has long wanted Yang Xian to die.

As he said this, he immediately expressed his sympathy towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Alas, this Yang Xian is so hateful. He actually treated Your Majesty like this! Your Majesty gave him a chance, but he still did this!"

"It is a shame for me to serve in the same court with him. Your Majesty, how will you deal with him now?"

"Your Majesty!" But just as Hu Weiyong asked, Jinyiwei commander Jiang Lin fled to Nanjing and spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I have already detained Yang Xian and his accomplices. Yang Xian's family and the family members of his accomplices have also been imprisoned by me."

"Your Majesty, please decide how to deal with Yang Xian!"

Is Yang Xian really going to be finished?
Hearing this, Hu Weiyong was immediately delighted. Well, this guy who had always been against him was really going to die!

But Hu Weiyong's eyes were filled with gloom again. However, he had to be responsible for Yang Xian's death. Otherwise, Yang Xian might say something he shouldn't have said, which would affect him, Hu Weiyong!
But what method should he use to get Zhu Yuanzhang's agreement?
