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

Chapter 30 There are indeed corrupt officials who are not afraid of death, so let’s try Chu Nan’s poison!
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so furious, the officials present were terrified.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty!" Li Shanchang, who was about to retire, also spoke at this moment.

"Corrupt officials must be punished, unscrupulous businessmen must also be disciplined, but the most urgent task now is to resolve the rebellion of the people first."

"What Prime Minister Li said is right." Many ministers also advised.

"Eight thousand people rebel. If we don't handle it properly, in a blink of an eye, they can lead 80,000 or 800,000 people to rebel!"

"By then, our Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil, and the Yuan people who are eyeing us covetously in the north will also take the opportunity to invade. That will be troublesome."

"I understand." After hearing their words, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down a lot.

"I was also forced by the Yuan people to rebel, so I know what is more important."

Then he glanced at the crowd of ministers and saw a young general.

"Lan Yu, this time it's up to you to quell the people's rebellion!"

Although Lan Yu was very arrogant, his brother-in-law was Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth brother Chang Yuchun after all, and Lan Yu was indeed very good at fighting.

So now Zhu Yuanzhang did not have too much hatred towards Lan Yu. He punished him only to grind down his edge. He would still assign him tasks to hone his character.

"Yes, I will complete the task." Lan Yu did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would use him again so soon, and he was happy.

"Lan Yu, remember this." But Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Lan Yu fiercely and began to explain.

"These people are not Yuan people, nor are they enemies. They are just like me back then. They rebelled because they could not survive. It is understandable."

"So what I want is for you to use force to force them to surrender, and then appease them. But if you kill them all like you killed the Yuan prisoners, I will kill you too!"

Suddenly Zhu Yuanzhang's voice shook, like thunder: "Did you hear that?"

"I heard it, I heard it." Lan Yu quickly agreed.

"So domineering." Seeing this scene, Chu Nan who was standing behind was shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very cruel to corrupt officials. He would skin them alive, stuff them with straw, exterminate their entire clan, and use any cruel punishment he could think of.

But to the people, he is always very kind and really charming.

This is probably the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang became one of the three most popular emperors in later generations of Chinese people.

The Qin Emperor who swept across the world and unified the world.

The Great Tang Dynasty's Grand Marshal, who had the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix and the symbol of the sun and the sky, also became Situ, Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Ling of the Shaanxi East Circuit, Shangshu Ling of the Yizhou Circuit, Mu of Yongzhou, Governor of Liangzhou, Left and Right Wuhou Generals, Left and Right Twelve Guards Generals, Shang Zhuguo, King of Qin, General of Tiance, Heavenly Khan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin.

There is also the person in front of Chu Nan, who started the game with a bowl and ended the 400-year history of humiliation for the people of Central Plains, Emperor Hongwu.

How can we not admire it?
"Hehe..." Zhu Yuanzhang did warn Lan Yu, but after Lan Yu agreed, a gloomy look appeared on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang, are you threatening me?

When I get to the local level, the emperor is far away and I am the boss. I have soldiers under my command. Who can control me?
You won't let me kill the common people? I will!
Anyway, you won’t know by then!
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Li Shanchang saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had dealt with the people's rebellion, so he talked about another matter.

"Then how should we deal with these corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen?"

"Hehe..." But when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Shanchang's question, he sneered and asked back.

"Prime Minister Li, what do you think? These corrupt officials are exploiting the people, and unscrupulous businessmen are scheming against the people. How do you think I should deal with this?"

When Li Shanchang heard this, he broke out in a sweat. He suddenly felt stupid. How could Zhu Yuanzhang deal with such a thing?
"Your Majesty, should we skin him alive and kill all his clans?"

"Haha!" But Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer Li Shanchang, but stood up.

"We will discuss this matter later. I will adjourn the court."

"Adjourn the court?" The ministers were shocked when they heard this. What was going on?

In the past, when Zhu Yuanzhang encountered such a thing, he would never give up until he got to the bottom of it and killed hundreds or thousands of corrupt officials and their accomplices.

But what happened today? He lost his temper and left the court? They were shocked. Did Zhu Yuanzhang change his personality? Many people were puzzled.

But some corrupt officials, such as Yang Xian's party, actually became complacent.

"Your Majesty must have felt that it was impossible to kill all the corrupt officials in the world, so he gave up and stopped killing them."

"Yeah, otherwise how come people like us have been able to occupy such good positions recently?" "Hahaha, it looks like we can now indulge in corruption. That's great! We're going to be rich in the future and make those honest officials die!"

"Yes, we are fine even though we embezzled so much, but they are honest officials who didn't embezzle, yet they are targeted every day. It feels so good!"

These corrupt officials were proud, and those honest officials were very angry, but in the end they did nothing and just left.

Chu Nan was also preparing to leave and return home.

But just as Chu Nan was about to leave, many ministers, whom he had never met before, surrounded him with fawning looks on their faces.

"Are you Lord Chu? You are indeed a young and promising young hero! When you become successful in the future, please don't forget our friendship as colleagues today."

"Get lost! Does Lord Chu know you? Who do you think you are? Lord Chu, I have a thousand-year-old ginseng at home. I'll give you some nourishment so that you can have sex with ten women every night!"

"Tsk, it would be better to just give a woman to him. Lord Chu, I have a daughter who is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on flowers!"

"What's your daughter, Lord Chu? My surname is Wu, my name is Dalang, and I have a wife, her surname is Pan and her name is Jinlian!"

"Fuck you, you'd better be careful of a man named Ximen Qing. Lord Chu, my name is Wu Song, and I have a sister-in-law..."

……

Chu Nan's residence.

Chu Nan is finally back.

In the end, Chu Nan didn't know how he got out of this group of officials. It's true that when you are famous you are prone to gossip.

However, Chu Nan was not worried that his life would be in danger.

Because he had heard rumors that he had a relationship with the princess, that he would become a prince consort, and that he was able to be promoted to such a high position, all because of the princess.

Chu Nan naturally guessed that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who ordered this. He was shocked. Zhu Yuanzhang was really willing to do this to protect himself.

Because then those who are affected by his schemes will take their eyes off himself, and he will be safe.

I really owe a huge favor to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan felt a lot more relaxed and then returned to his yard.

"Sir, you're back?" At this moment, Xihua, Xiyue and four other women were cleaning the yard.

When they saw Chu Nan coming, they also started to report.

"Sir, someone has come from the palace and brought another two thousand taels of gold."

"I know." Chu Nan nodded.

"It's not easy for you either. You get 20 taels of gold. Can you share it equally with the people in the mansion?"

"What, twenty taels?" The four women were shocked. There weren't many people in the mansion. Twenty taels of gold was a huge sum of money.

How much points did each of them get?

They were all overjoyed. It was so good to follow a great man like Chu Nan. They would sell their lives to Chu Nan from now on.

Then they happily divided the gold.

Chu Nan ignored all this and returned to the room.

Recently he created a world map from memory.

But there is more to the modern age that he has not yet figured out.

If you don't do it now, after staying here for a long time, you will probably only remember the concept and completely forget the specific method, and then you won't be able to do it when you want to.

So we still have to act quickly and get out whatever good stuff we can.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan was about to take action.

"Sir!" But at this time, Xihua ran out of the door in panic, with a nervous look on her face.

"The Emperor is here!!"
