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

Chapter 45: The poisonous counselors and strategists are worthy of killing the emperor, so corrupt officials should not be afraid!

Chu Nan is really speechless. He actually said that it would shorten his lifespan?

Zhuge Liang had a short life, probably because he was too overworked. How could he live a long life if he did everything himself?
And what's so evil about my plan? Because it wasn't something he came up with himself.

Huo Qubing, the former champion, led an expedition against the Xiongnu and defeated them so badly that they fled in disarray. In order to celebrate with his soldiers, he poured the fine wine given by Emperor Wu of Han into the spring and drank it together with his soldiers.

Later, the spring was also called Jiuquan, and the story of Huo Qubing and his soldiers drinking from the spring became a famous story.

But according to some historical records, the spring water that Huo Qubing and his companions drank was not simple.

Because the Huns knew they could not win the battle, they threw their dead cattle and horses into various water sources throughout the Huns. Whenever the Han army drank from them, they would get sick and die.

Huo Qubing and his subordinates had not expected this, and they indeed fell ill after drinking it. After returning victoriously, many soldiers died, and Huo Qubing also died soon after.

These histories may be unofficial histories, but they may also be true. After all, so much time has passed.

So this strategy may have been used by someone before, why can't he use it? What's the poison?

So don’t kill the fresh corrupt officials. Wash them clean and cut them. People in the Northern Yuan Dynasty still like them very much.

"What?" But after hearing Chu Nan's explanation, everyone present was really stunned.

It’s too vicious, too vicious, Chu Nan is really too vicious.

The people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the corrupt officials were all poisoned.

But now Chu Nan not only poisoned the people of Beiyuan and the corrupt officials, but also wanted them to thank him? This is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say at this moment. He just regretted not leaving Queen Ma here, otherwise he could let Queen Ma hear how vicious Chu Nan's plan was.

After hearing this, Queen Ma couldn't say something like, "Chun Nan wanted to make corrupt officials live longer," "Chun Nan wanted to let the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty eat fresh ingredients," right?
"Father." But at this time, the princes all looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Do you really want to adopt this plan?" This plan is really too vicious. I'm really afraid that it will shorten my life if I use it.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that it was too cruel, but after thinking about it for a while, he nodded again.

"Use it, how can we not use it?"

"Chu Nan is right. These corrupt officials have to be killed anyway. If I don't use their bodies, whose bodies should I use?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor with a murderous nature. At first he thought this plan was too harmful, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was quite feasible.

The Ming Dynasty is too poor now to resort to war, so it would be better to use this method.

Then he gave a direct order: "Let the Jinyiwei arrange this matter."

After saying this, he sneered. This time, this plan would surely make the Northern Yuan people suffer a lot, right?
He knew very well that the Northern Yuan Dynasty's territory was too large, and this vicious plan would certainly not cover the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty. But in the southern part bordering the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan Dynasty would have no easy time, as they would leave you without even water to drink.

At the same time, Chu Nan's strategies of defending in autumn and fighting in spring, falling into a trap of making friends far away and attacking nearby, and driving the dog to devour the wolf should also be used.

If these three strategies are used together, let’s see how long the Northern Yuan people can last!

"Are you really going to use it?" The princes were shocked when they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was really going to use this strategy.

You are worthy of being my father. If it were another emperor, such as Li Shimin or Liu Bei, they might not agree to this plan. After all, it is too damaging.

It was heaven's will that Chu Nan was born in this era. He and his father were a perfect match. A vicious counselor and a murderous emperor, what a murder.

When Liu Bowen saw this, he couldn't help but sigh. Chu Nan was on Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and those who were enemies of Zhu Yuanzhang could only ask for an easy death.

"Okay." Seeing that Chu Nan had contributed three strategies, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy. When he was happy, he wanted to reward him.

Then he looked at Chu Nan: "Chu Nan, listen to the title." "What!" But as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, it was Chu Nan's turn to be afraid. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do? Please don't do it! I am already a second-rank official, and an earl, which is enough. I really don't want to be promoted."

If he gets promoted again, his identity will no longer be hidden. Then the one who gets chopped into pieces and thrown into the water will not be the corrupt official, but Chu Nan.

"What do you mean enough? Huo Qubing was granted the title of Lord of the Wolf at the age of 22, and Li Shimin was promoted to General of Heavenly Strategy at the age of 23. You are 19 years old and still a second-rank official. Do you have the nerve to do that?"

"I gave you a chance, you must seize it, how can you not make progress?"

Can this be the same? Chu Nan was madly complaining in his heart.

When Huo Qubing was conquering the Wolf's Lair, his only enemy was the Huns, and no one in the court was against him. But according to the unofficial history he had told before, Huo Qubing might have died at the hands of the Huns.

So even Huo Qubing couldn't withstand the hidden arrows, so how could Chu Nan dare to show his potential?
As for General Tian Ce Li Shimin, he was indeed young and heroic, but don't forget that after he captured two kings in the battle of Hulao Pass, was named General Tian Ce, and became the Minister of the Shandong Circuit, he was destined to no longer be brothers with Li Jiancheng.

His power was too great. As long as he was alive, Li Jiancheng would not be able to feel at ease even if he became emperor, which led to the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

But unlike Huo Qubing, Li Shimin did not die and won.

But Li Shimin won because of Yuchi Jingde, Zhangsun Wuji, Fangmou and Duduan.

What does Chu Nan have? An egg!

Don’t mention that Huo Qubing was conquered at the age of 22 and Li Shimin was promoted to the rank of General of Tiance at the age of 23.

Chu Nan was nineteen years old and just wanted to ignore the risks and continue the installation.

Then he wanted to refuse again: "Your Majesty."

"Pass on my order." But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to give Chu Nan any chance to refuse.

"Appoint Chu Nan as the Marquis of Liangshan, and reward him with five thousand taels of gold, ten thousand pieces of cloth, thirty slaves, twenty guards, and a red-lettered iron scroll!"

"What!" All the princes present were excited when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's reward.

"Congratulations, Lord Chu, you have been made a marquis at such a young age, almost as great as Huo Qubing! And you have received so much gold and cloth, which is more than my salary for several years."

"The next rank up is the Duke. Lord Chu is really amazing! And there is also the Red Book and Iron Scroll, which is the token of immunity from death! It is such a great honor."

"Yes, this year the emperor awarded a total of thirty-four red books and iron scrolls to meritorious officials. Look how crazy they were after receiving them. You should be very happy."

Liu Bowen also smiled and nodded: "Chun Nan, I am already an earl. You are much better than me. I envy you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy when he saw others congratulating Chu Nan: "Chu Nan, are you satisfied with the reward I gave you?"

What are you satisfied with?

But everyone in Chu Nan was numb.

Although he offered many strategies to Zhu Yuanzhang, other ministers thought that he had not achieved anything and would be beaten if he did so.

As for money, cloth and the like, they are easy to deal with. They can spend them. It is also okay to give him soldiers to protect him.

But what is the red book and iron scroll for him?
Do you think I'm really from the Ming Dynasty? Is your red book and iron scroll from Zhu Yuanzhang a golden ticket to avoid death? It's a ticket to be beheaded, right?

During the entire Hongwu period, you, Zhu Yuanzhang, awarded a total of ninety-seven red-lettered iron scrolls to founding heroes. Was there a single one that was redeemed?
Ninety-seven heroes, all killed.

What do you want to do by giving me the red book and iron scroll?
