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

Chapter 154 Chu Nan’s vicious plan to abolish the prime minister system that has been passed down for more than a thousand years!

If Zhu Yuanzhang let the Jinyiwei take charge of everything, although Yang Xian didn't know that it was Hu Weiyong who was behind him, if what Yang Xian said didn't match what Zhu Yuanzhang was investigating, Zhu Yuanzhang would become suspicious.

So Hu Weiyong began to consider how to solve this problem.

"Hmph!" Just as Hu Weiyong was thinking, a ruthless look appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

He looked at Jiang Li with a gloomy face and said, "How should we deal with Yang Xian? People like Yang Xian will only end up dead! There is only one way out, and he will definitely die!"

"Who told me that after I gave him the opportunity, he didn't know how to cherish it? He is a talent and I want to use him, but he is not the only talent in my Ming Dynasty. He can't blame me!"

"Chu Nan!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, and looked at Chu Nan standing aside.

"I order you to be responsible for the Yang Xian incident. Confiscate his property and the property of those who conspired with him!"

This……

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong's face changed. Let Chu Nan handle it? Although Chu Nan looks silly, he has many schemes in his heart.

If you let Chu Nan handle it, then Yang Xian's affairs can't be concealed, right? Hu Weiyong suddenly became worried.

"Your Majesty." But after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chu Nan stood up and refused.

"I am kind-hearted, but I still cannot do this job."

Chu Nan was speechless. He had already offended many people during this period of time. If he confiscated Yang Xian's property, he would probably offend even more people.

If you offend someone, you will get killed. For example, Mao Xiang, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, helped Zhu Yuanzhang kill too many people. He must have lost a lot of their property when it was confiscated, which aroused public anger.

In the end, his head and body were separated. Chu Nan didn't want to follow his example, so he simply refused.

"Huh?" But when Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Chu Nan dared to disobey the order, he frowned immediately.

"Chu Nan, are you trying to disobey my order?"

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!" Chu Nan became anxious when he heard this. He really couldn't disobey your order today, but he was not a fool and would not disobey your order.

Instead, he spoke tactfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry, that's not what I meant."

"But I am really not suitable for this task. I am afraid that if I let anyone of Yang Xian go, I will be in trouble and I will be ashamed of Your Majesty. Therefore, I am not suitable for this task."

"Hmm?" But after hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

In fact, Chu Nan's words were full of loopholes. Zhu Yuanzhang could have simply said, "If you are not suitable, then practice to be suitable; if you are weak, then practice to be strong," and thus refuted Chu Nan's words.

But Zhu Yuanzhang did not do so, because Chu Nan was a ruthless scholar of the Ming Dynasty. He believed that Chu Nan must have his own reasons for doing so.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang did not force Chu Nan any more: "Okay, okay, then I won't let you do it."

"Huh." Hearing that Chu Nan actually refused and Zhu Yuanzhang did not force him, Hu Weiyong immediately felt relieved. It was great that Chu Nan did not deal with this matter.

However, he secretly cursed Chu Nan in his heart. Chu Nan was really stupid. Throughout history, how much benefit could one get from being in charge of confiscating property? If one seized one million taels of silver, one could at least make three or four hundred thousand taels of silver.

Chu Nan actually didn't want to take responsibility? Isn't this stupid?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen standing aside.

"Bowen, I'll let you do this."

what?
Hearing this, Hu Weiyong's face instantly became even uglier.

Liu Bowen was Yang Xian's teacher. If Liu Bowen was held responsible, he would definitely be moved with compassion and would investigate the matter thoroughly if there was any sign of injustice. So if Liu Bowen was held responsible, Yang Xian's plan would fail!
"Your Majesty!" But after hearing this, Liu Bowen shook his head.

"I am already old and cannot take on this important task. Besides, Yang Xian is my student. If I were to take the responsibility, it would be suspected of covering up for the crime."

"Your Majesty, please ask someone else."

"You refuse too?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned immediately when he heard Hu Weiyong's words.

"If you refuse, who else can I ask to handle this matter?"

Of course it’s me!
Hu Weiyong, who was standing aside, was speechless. "Your Majesty, didn't you see it? Or what? I'm right here, use me."

He was really speechless. Liu Bowen had originally refused, so he was very happy.

But now, after Zhu Yuanzhang rejected Chu Nan and Liu Bowen, he didn't even consider Hu Weiyong?

Hu Weiyong was really confused, how could he not choose him?

"Your Majesty!" But at this moment, Chu Nan spoke.

"I suggest that Prime Minister Hu should handle this matter."

"Huh?" Hu Weiyong was surprised to hear this. Why would Chu Nan choose him?
Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned: "Chun Nan, why are you like this?"

"Your Majesty." Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Chu Nan immediately gave an answer.

"My idea is very simple. Since Prime Minister Hu is the head of all officials, if this official commits a crime, Prime Minister Hu should be held responsible."

"Besides, Hu Xiang has just been appointed as the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat. We must give him a chance to perform, so that the ministers in the court can obey him."

"You..." But when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chu Nan's words, he felt very confused. Why did Chu Nan suddenly speak for Hu Weiyong?

Zhu Yuanzhang was not blind, so he naturally took Hu Weiyong into consideration from the beginning. However, he did not intend to choose him.

But now Chu Nan actually let Hu Weiyong be responsible for this matter, so he really couldn't figure it out.

However, since it was Chu Nan's idea, he must have his reasons, so Zhu Yuanzhang decided to agree with Chu Nan's opinion.

Then he looked at Hu Weiyong and nodded: "Prime Minister Hu, you have worked hard and made great contributions. You are also the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty and you are busy with many things every day. But since someone has suggested it, I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes! I will do my best to handle this matter and will never let go anyone who is in cahoots with Yang Xian!" Hearing this, Hu Weiyong calmly agreed.

But in his heart, he was extremely excited, and he was so excited that he felt like taking off.

Great, this matter finally fell into his hands. This way he can ensure that Yang Xian can’t say a word!
At the same time, he also felt that Zhu Yuanzhang now completely trusted him, after all, he had handed the matter of Yang Xian over to him to handle.

He was so happy. So many things happened today that were beneficial to him, Hu Weiyong.

"Then Your Majesty, I will go and take care of it." Having said that, Hu Weiyong saluted towards Zhu Yuanzhang and then went down.

"Chu Nan!" After seeing Hu Weiyong leave, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Nan strangely with a gloomy face.

"Why did you leave this matter to Hu Weiyong to solve? I don't understand why you did this."

"You know what I want to do."

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to deal with Hu Weiyong and abolish the prime minister system. As a result, Chu Nan acted like this. Wouldn't it allow Hu Weiyong to have more merits and a more stable position?

Then how could he depose Hu Weiyong?
