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

Chapter 39 Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed. He could never kill all the corrupt officials!

Soon, Yang Xide was half dead, and silver was dug out from his pond.

Yang Xian took the silver and took Yang Xide, who was half dead, with him to report.

But not long after Yang Xian led his men out of the mansion, they ran into a carriage head-on. The owner of the carriage knew that it was Yang Xian in front, so he directly lifted the curtain.

"Oh, Lord Yang is in high spirits and seems to have encountered good things. Where are you going?" The person who spoke was Hu Weiyong, but there was a sneer in his words.

"Haha, it has nothing to do with you." Seeing that it was his political enemy Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian naturally did not have a good face.

When commanding his subordinates, he had to avoid Hu Weiyong.

"Hey, don't go." But Hu Weiyong ordered his men to stop Yang Xian's team and sneered.

"Master Yang, I want to congratulate you. I heard that His Majesty recently issued an order to rectify the government and execute treacherous officials. Just from your command, Master Yang, more than a hundred corrupt officials have been executed. This is a great thing."

"Because this shows that all the corrupt officials under Lord Yang have been killed, and from now on, only honest officials will be left under his command, and they will be able to work better for Your Majesty."

"Hu Weiyong!" Yang Xian was furious when he heard it.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed such a large number of corrupt officials, which greatly weakened his power. Even he himself was frantically trying to find ways to protect himself.

But he had thought before that since he had been weakened so much, Hu Weiyong must have been weakened a lot as well, because there were many corrupt officials under him.

But who would have thought, when he investigated the news, he found that only a few corrupt officials under Hu Weiyong had died, but his power was not weakened at all, so he was very angry.

What's going on? He could clearly suppress Hu Weiyong and make him angry to death before, but now, why is he at a disadvantage?

"Alas." But Hu Weiyong didn't finish his words. He sighed sadly.

"Sometimes I really envy Lord Yang. With such a big incident this time, I'm afraid his official position will be demoted. But it's better to have a lower official position, with less responsibility and less pressure."

"Unlike me, my mentor Li Shanchang said that he will abdicate soon and will recommend me as prime minister after his abdication. Such a high position is really stressful."

"Sir Yang, how high do you think an official should be to be considered high?"

"But the size of power cannot determine the status. I, Hu Weiyong, am the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and you, Lord Yang, carry manure. We are both serving the Ming Dynasty. Hahahaha, you rubbish."

After saying that, Hu Weiyong bypassed Yang Xian's team and left.

"What, Hu Weiyong!!!" Yang Xian was so furious after hearing what Hu Weiyong said.

A few days ago, he was still high and mighty, crushing Hu Weiyong under him, but today, he was humiliated by Hu Weiyong in the street!

But now he has no time to fight with Hu Weiyong, because he has to find Zhu Yuanzhang immediately and then exonerate himself, otherwise he will lose his life.

Damn Hu Weiyong! Yang Xian stared at his back fiercely, I will make you pay the price sooner or later!
"Hehe." But Hu Weiyong could clearly feel this cold light, but he ignored it.

Yang Xian, do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?
Hu Weiyong is really happy now, because he was scolded by Yang Xian a few days ago and he was about to explode, but now, he is really happy.

From now on, he will be the ruler of the Ming Dynasty!

Soon, Hu Weiyong returned to his mansion and wrote a letter.

Then he called his trusted men and said, "Send this letter to the Puyang military camp."

This is a letter from Hu Weiyong to Lan Yu. Hu Weiyong was able to save his subordinates in this catastrophe of killing corrupt officials, all thanks to Li Shanchang who asked him to remind his subordinates to be honest. And now, Hu Weiyong also keenly felt that Zhu Yuanzhang might not only target corrupt officials.

Arrogant soldiers and generals may also be one of them, and Lan Yu is definitely a target to be punished.

That's why Hu Weiyong wrote the letter to Lan Yu, asking him to be honest. After all, Lan Yu was the backbone of his Huaixi Party and he couldn't let him be defeated.

After arranging this matter, Hu Weiyong called another confidant and asked, "I asked you to investigate Chu Nan. How is the investigation going?"

Hu Weiyong is not stupid, and he has a sharp vision. He always feels that Chu Nan is not simple.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang spread the rumor that Chu Nan and the princess had an ambiguous relationship, he still had doubts in his heart and felt that Chu Nan was not that simple, so he sent people to investigate.

He had a feeling that Chu Nan might be the person behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

"My lord." But the confidant frowned at this moment.

"This Chu Nan, no matter how you look at it, he seems to be a man without any ambitions."

"These past few days, Chu Nan has been eating and drinking a lot every day. He especially likes to eat pig's trotters. He also spends money lavishly, buying whatever he likes."

"Not only did he spend money on himself, he also brought four maids with him, gave them money, dressed them up beautifully, and often joked with them in the street. He was really promiscuous!"

"But he does have some merits. He invented a lot of practical things at home, such as some farm tools for tilling the land and tools for building houses."

"Is it so?" Hu Weiyong was shocked when he heard it. No matter how you look at Chu Nan, he looks like a playboy.
Am I really overthinking it?
Maybe it’s true, Hu Weiyong smiled self-deprecatingly.

How could someone so young have such a ruthless plan? Even Yang Xian, the old fox, was caught.

However, Hu Weiyong was puzzled again. If Chu Nan was really so unambitious, why would Zhu Yuanzhang choose him as his son-in-law and promote him to such a high position? Was it just because he could invent things?
But Hu Weiyong did not continue to think about Chu Nan, but began to ponder deeply, with a cold look in his eyes.

“I really don’t know who is behind Zhu Yuanzhang.”

"But no matter who he is, even if he is a prince or Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite concubine, if I find out, he will die."

"This person's existence poses too great a threat to this officer."

royal palace.

Huagai Palace.

While outside, there was a turbulent situation due to the killing of corrupt officials, inside the Huagai Palace, there was an atmosphere of joy.

"Great, this time the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous and strong!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of excitement, because his recent policies had very good effects when implemented.

For example, after the implementation of the Weisuo system, there was no longer any force that could threaten the imperial court in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was quite hypocritical. Other places in the world adopted the Wei Suo system, with each Wei Suo having several thousand people. However, the Jinling court and the imperial guards directly under his command did not use the Wei Suo system.

The entire imperial guards have over 100,000 men, so which arrogant and powerful general is he still worried about now?

Then the navy was also formed and ready to set off at any time. In this way, the day when potatoes and sweet potatoes arrived was closer.

But what made him happiest was killing corrupt officials, because this time he raided the homes of hundreds of corrupt officials and got countless amounts of money, a total of...
