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

Chapter 36: Chu Nan’s vicious plan was implemented, and corrupt officials began to complain, who is so vicious!
"Chu Nantingfeng, you like to use vicious tricks, but I hope you can be kinder, so I will grant you the title of Good Earl."

"I will also reward you with ten fine horses, one hundred pieces of silk, and five thousand kilograms of grain."

"What, he was conferred the title of Earl?" After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's reward, the princes present were all surprised and congratulated Chu Nanlai.

Zhu Biao: "Chu Nan, congratulations, you are already a second-rank official at such a young age, and you have the title of earl. You can bring honor to your family."

Zhu Chong: "Master Chu is really young and promising. He will definitely accomplish great things in the future."

Zhu Di: "Lord Chu, you have a horse. Please lend it to me someday. I don't have a horse."

Liu Bowen also looked envious: "Congratulations, Chu Nan, I am only an earl at my age, and you are an earl at such a young age. I really admire you!"

"Your Majesty!" But Chu Nan was stunned. What are you congratulating him for? The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. He doesn't want to be so famous.

And what about Zhu Di, what do you mean you have no horse?
If Empress Ma heard what you said and Zhu Yuanzhang realized it, you would probably be beaten to death again.

You, the Yongle Emperor, are so great that you are going to heaven, right?

Do you want me, the humble commoner Zhu Yuanzhang, to bring my wife Ma Xiuying and my son Zhu Biao to pay homage to you, the Yongle Emperor?
Chu Nan was about to refuse: "Your Majesty, I think..."

"Do you think my reward is good? Yes, I think so too. I didn't expect that you think the same as I do. It's really good." But as soon as Chu Nan's words came out, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang then stood up and waved his hands: "This matter is settled. I have to go back to the palace to deal with things. Let's go back to the palace."

"Your Majesty, please get up." Then the eunuch accompanying him spoke, and the ceremonial guards began to move.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang left directly, and the princes and Liu Bowen followed him.

The lively scene just now suddenly became deserted.

"What?" Chu Nan was completely confused. He was leaving like this?
I was thinking of refusing? You didn't even give me a chance to refuse.

Don’t go, Zhu Yuanzhang, have some pork trotter rice before you leave, and then I’ll stew a big pig’s trotter for you!
But he couldn't be stupid enough to actually say these words, so Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't keep him.

Then his face turned sad. Alas, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He just wanted to survive.

"Sir." But at this time, four maids with young bodies and delicate faces came. Seeing Chu Nan's uncomfortable expression, they immediately showed concern.

"Why do you look so bad?"

Chu Nan is usually very nice to them, and they initially thought that serving Chu Nan would be very tiring, and that they also had to satisfy some of Chu Nan's needs. After all, Chu Nan is young and really needs to vent.

But who would have thought that Chunan was really nice? He not only gave them food, but also money to spend, and he never beat or scolded them. He was also young and handsome.

So when they saw Chu Nan looked unhappy, they were also worried.

"What's good about that?" Chu Nan sighed again.

"I was made an earl by His Majesty, and was rewarded with many things."

"Ah, isn't that a good thing?" The four women didn't understand what was going on, but they were happy for Chu Nan when they heard about the reward.

"This way, you can accumulate more wealth, and you will have more confidence in your life."

Chu Nan shook his head when he heard it: "How can I be confident? It's all bad luck... huh?"

But soon, Chu Nan realized something was wrong, because he suddenly remembered something from the words of the four women.

"You are right! I have accumulated a lot of wealth now, so I should use it!"

Then he pulled up the four women and walked out: "Come on, since your majesty has given me so much money, how can I not spend it today."

"But I can't spend it all by myself, so I give it to you. If you want to buy clothes, buy clothes. If you want to buy rouge and powder, buy rouge and powder. I'm not afraid of the price, but I'm afraid of not being able to spend the money!" "Ah?" The four girls were shocked when they heard this. They were so touched that the adults were so kind to them.

But Chu Nan was not thinking about anything else.

He had completely forgotten what he had said before about spending lavishly and pretending to be a person with no ambitions in order to lower other people's defenses. He must not forget this, so now he had to go out and spend money.

royal palace.

Huagai Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang has returned here, and the princes are also here, but Liu Bowen is not here at the moment.

His office was responsible for disaster relief, so he went to handle the matter.

"Good, Chu Nan is really nice." At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's joyful voice resounded throughout the Huagai Palace.

"This Chu Nan is truly an unrivaled poisoner. His schemes are not only poisonous and ingenious, but also contain the mindset of an emperor. They are truly ingenious!"

"I will definitely make good use of Chu Nan in the future. Make great use of him!"

"In the future, you must also carefully comprehend the principles behind Chu Nan's strategy. I really like Chu Nan. I love him to death!"

"This..." The princes were speechless when they heard this. Everything else is fine, but it is really strange that you, Your Majesty, said that you love him to death.

However, the princes still became curious, especially Zhu Biao, who had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years.

"Father, why are you so happy? I heard that when you had Prime Minister Li Shanchang and Lord Liu Bowen, they were not as happy as you are now."

"Of course I am happy." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly when he heard it.

"Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen are indeed powerful and resourceful, but don't you feel it?"

"Many of Chu Nan's strategies have never been proposed by them, and no one in the past has thought of them before."

"So maybe I have found a talent that is unprecedented and will never be surpassed, so how can I not be happy?"

"Yes." Now the princes understood why Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy.

It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a good general. How could Zhu Yuanzhang not be happy to get such a great talent like Chu Nan?

Moreover, Chu Nan was indeed very capable. Although his strategies were vicious, they really shocked them. So it was normal for Zhu Yuanzhang to be so happy.

"Okay." At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy and started to arrange things.

"Chu Nan has given me all the strategies, so I have to implement them well."

Then he looked at Zhu Biao and said, "We must continue to improve the Weisuo system. This is a system that can make the Ming Dynasty more stable."

"Yes." Zhu Biao nodded, but there was a look of confusion on his face.

"Father, I still have doubts about this guard system."

"This guard system, our Ming Dynasty is rich, and the soldiers are all on the land. Will the lack of training affect their combat effectiveness?"

"After all, the Song Dynasty was so wealthy and its soldiers were well-equipped, but their fighting capacity was not that good."

"Yes." After listening to what Zhu Biao said, the other princes also felt that it made sense. In this way, the Wei Suo system did have significant loopholes.

So, Chu Nan’s plan doesn’t work?
