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

Chapter 168: The confused Hu Weiyong can cooperate with anyone!
After Chu Nan received the reward, he left happily. Now that he had so much money, he could support more people and he would be safer.

"I'm waiting to retire."

When Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing else to do, they took their leave and left the palace. After all, they had just discussed so much and there was still a lot to do.

"Father!" After seeing them all leave, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion.

"I really don't understand, Father, why do you want to give Lord Chu so much money? I doubt Lord Chu's character and would he use the money to do something bad."

"I'm just worried that if Lord Chu spends all his money again, what will we do? Our Ming Dynasty has money now, but we can't afford to spend it like this."

Zhu Biao's words were full of concerns about the Ming Dynasty.

"Biao'er, you have a narrow mind!" But after hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

He looked at Zhu Biao and taught him earnestly: "How could you think like that? Who is Chu Nan? He is a rare ruthless scholar in the Ming Dynasty. He has so many tricks that you can't imagine. What's wrong with spending some money on such a person?"

"If Chu Nan is like Liu Bowen, who doesn't like money, women, fame or gain, then I'm afraid and won't feel at ease using him."

"This..." Zhu Biao was well-read and it seemed to be the case when he heard it.

A minister who doesn't want money, power or women, then what does he want? To be the emperor? Chu Nan wants money, so they should be happy.

He couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking that his vision was too narrow.

"Biao'er." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again.

"I will grow old one day, and I will not be able to take care of you forever. The throne will eventually be given to you."

"But in addition to giving you the throne, I also want to leave you other legacies, such as talents. Before, I wanted to leave you talents like Lan Yu, but now it seems that Lan Yu is no longer suitable."

"So I decided to leave you talents like Chu Nan and Yao Guangxiao, so you have to reward Chu Nan all the time."

"One hundred thousand taels of silver and ten thousand taels of gold are nothing. Chu Nan has brought us much more than that. Don't we have the money to support him? If he wants to spend, he can spend."

"This..." Zhu Biao's eyes widened when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words. Only now did he realize how much his vision was inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang's.

I am still too young and need to continue to gain experience.

At the same time, he also felt that what Zhu Yuanzhang said was absolutely right. No matter what, he would make use of Chu Nan in the future, and Chu Nan could spend the money as he pleased.

The news that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to take such action was passed among the Jinyiwei in a very covert manner, and an action against the Japanese was thus carried out.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that in Jinling City, besides them, there was another group of people who were also targeting the Japanese pirates.

However, this group of people did not know Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, after all, they were protected by the Jinyiwei.

Their idea was not to destroy these Japanese pirates, but to support them in harassing the Ming Dynasty's coast, and even wanted to bring them under their command.

The residence of Hu Weiyong.

Chamber of Secrets.

There were only three people inside.

Hu Weiyong sat in the first seat, followed by Tu Jie and Chen Ning.

This time was different from when Li Shanchang came. Tea and fruit were placed in the room, which made it seem much warmer and less solemn. However, no one touched the tea and fruit because they were discussing important matters. Hu Weiyong looked at Tu Jie who was standing aside and asked, "How are the Japanese pirates doing?"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Hu." When Tu Jie heard Hu Weiyong's question, a cunning expression appeared on his face.

"The Japanese pirates said they will continue to attack the southeastern coast of Ming Dynasty and will not stop."

"That's good." Hu Weiyong nodded.

In fact, the recent attack of the Japanese pirates on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty was his intention, because he needed the Japanese pirates to tie down the troops on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty and at the same time attract the attention of the court, so that he could make arrangements in the Ming Dynasty.

To this end, he specially arranged his own people to provide the Japanese pirates with a lot of equipment and food, for fear that the Japanese pirates would not be able to defeat them or would not have the strength to fight.

"Haha." Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang, you are in the court, still thinking about how to deal with the Japanese pirates? But what you don't know is that while you are doing your best to deal with the Japanese pirates, I, Hu Weiyong, am behind the scenes!
At the same time, he was also very grateful for the Sichuan-Shu earthquake, which made the court's attention more dispersed and enabled him to do more things.

As for the common people who died in Sichuan and Shu, Hu Weiyong didn't care. If he wanted to do great things, he could only make the people suffer first.

"By the way." Then he looked at Chen Ning again.

"What about the situation with Beiyuan and the Nuzhen people?"

"We've already contacted them." Chen Ning spoke. He was in charge of this matter, but his face did not look good.

"When the Beiyuan and Nuzhen people heard about this, they were very angry and wanted to deal with the Ming Dynasty, but they had suffered too much loss and it would be difficult for them to recover in the short term."

"Faced with the 100,000 elite troops led by Li Wenzhong, hundreds of thousands of garrison soldiers, and the Korean soldiers supervised by Tang He, they had almost no power to fight back."

"I guess it will just harass the northern part of Ming Dynasty. It will be difficult to launch an attack."

"I don't care about that." But after hearing Chen Ning's words, Hu Weiyong just flicked his sleeves.

"Tell the Beiyuan people and the Nuzhen people that I want to destroy Zhu Yuanzhang and take over the Ming Dynasty. After I succeed, I will give them a place to live!"

"But if they don't make an effort and let Zhu Yuanzhang continue to grow stronger and eventually be destroyed, then I, Hu Weiyong, will be helpless!"

"If they really want to cooperate, they should work with me regardless of the cost to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang. This plan will definitely succeed!"

"Yes!" Faced with Hu Weiyong's arrogance, Chen Ning had no choice but to agree. Now he had to make the Northern Yuan people and the Nuzhen people suffer.

"That's right." At this moment, Hu Weiyong looked at Tu Jie again with a serious expression.

"Remember to contact Lan Yu. If we want to start an uprising in Nanjing, we need to find someone who can lead troops. I think Lan Yu is the best person."

"Remember to make it clear to Lan Yu and ask him to support us. Then don't let Lan Yu die. It would be a big loss if he died."

"Prime Minister Hu is wise." Tu Jie nodded seriously upon hearing this. Lan Yu should indeed be chosen.

Lan Yu was treated so badly by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was deprived of all power and imprisoned. He must have hated Zhu Yuanzhang to death.

In addition, he was originally a member of the Huaixi Party. If Hu Weiyong threw out a branch, Lan Yu would not hesitate too much.

Then he said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister Hu. I will talk to Lan Yu and win his support. At the same time, I will control his family. If he dares to report it or disagrees, his family will be killed!"
