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

Chapter 75 Chu Nan is too cruel, he killed all of Zhu Yuanzhang’s relatives!
"Your Majesty." When Chu Nan heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he also started talking.

"Lan Yu is a very arrogant person, so if you keep indulging him, he will definitely become more and more arrogant, and it is normal for him to offend many people, but Lan Yu will not bow his head and admit his mistakes just because he offended people."

"He doesn't care how many people he has offended. As long as you praise him and continue to use him, he will continue to be arrogant."

In history, Lan Yu defiled the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, sent soldiers to attack the gate of his own city, and dared to do anything. So, would such a person be afraid of offending others?

"That makes sense. Go on." Zhu Yuanzhang thought Chu Nan's explanation made a lot of sense after hearing it.

The princes also felt that this was indeed the truth and continued to listen.

Chu Nan also continued: "So, after your majesty has made him the public enemy of the entire court, you must start to suppress him."

"And the method to suppress him is very simple. It is the opposite of his previous practice of saying that everything he said was right. When we suppress him, everything he says is wrong, and he can't do anything he wants."

"In this way, his arrogant mentality, which was originally due to the high position of His Majesty, will be trampled upon and hit immediately, and he will wake up."

"At this time, there are several options before him. Rebellion is impossible. Resigning from office will not be agreed by His Majesty. Lan Yu is also impossible. Asking other officials for help will not help him. So the only option is to compromise with His Majesty."

"That makes sense?" After hearing Chu Nan's words, the princes all nodded.

The first step of Chu Nan's plan is to lure Lan Yu into becoming a lone minister, leaving him without any allies.

The second step was to suppress him and teach him a lesson. Since no one helped him, he had no choice but to compromise with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Great!" Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted when he heard it.

Chu Nan's method is fine. He just praised Lan Yu randomly in the beginning. It's fine if Lan Yu said the sky is blue, and it's also fine if Liu Bowen is a woman. Anyway, everything is right.

But later on, Lan Yu was punished for entering the door with his left foot first and was scolded for eating with his mouth. Anyway, it was wrong no matter what he did.

"But." But Zhu Yuanzhang thought of another point and became worried.

"But Chu Nan, Lan Yu is still very stubborn. What if he refuses to listen to me at that time?"

After all, Lan Yu wanted to pretend to obey and actually kill the people of Puyang.

"Hmm?" Chu Nan was surprised when he heard this. Why would the Hongwu Emperor ask such a question? Would he become kind?

Then he said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this."

"By that time, the princes will probably have learned almost all of Lan Yu's skills, so by then, Lan Yu will no longer be of much value."

"Then if he still refuses to obey, kill one of his important confidants to remove his power and make him behave himself. At the same time, let everyone in the court know that Your Majesty is going to take action against him."

"And if Lan Yu still refuses to obey by then, Your Majesty will surely know what to do?"

This is Chu Nan’s third strategy, which is actually mainly used to target Lan Yu, rather than to protect himself.

Because Chu Nan didn't know who was behind Lan Yu or how powerful he was, it was difficult for him to target him. Moreover, the first strategy of diverting the trouble away was enough to protect himself to a certain extent.

Therefore, Chu Nan’s third strategy was directly aimed at Lan Yu. Lan Yu was also a dangerous character anyway, so it was better to solve the obvious problem first.

People in the dark will gradually reveal their true colors.

"Yes." After hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened. At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't know what to do? If Lan Yu obeyed, he would live. If Lan Yu didn't obey, he would die!
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Nan in disbelief. Chu Nan was too powerful.

Lan Yu, a capable minister whom even the emperor wanted to kill but couldn't, was actually reduced to this state by Chu Nan's trick?

Chu Nan was no longer of any value, had no allies, and had no way out. He could only rely on Zhu Yuanzhang. He was really scary.

"This..." After listening to Chu Nan's plan, the princes felt that Chu Nan was more and more terrifying.

Although this plan may not seem as terrifying as the previous ones on the surface, it actually becomes more terrifying the more you think about it.

Lan Yu, a rising star among the future military generals of the Ming Dynasty, was doomed to death by Chu Nan just because he wanted to deal with Chu Nan.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, the master of the Ming Empire, was cooperating with Chu Nan's ideas. Isn't this strategy scary?

But there is no way around it, after all, Chu Nan is so powerful.

But at the same time, they were actually a little worried because Chu Nan had a powerful and vicious plan, and Chu Nan had a good personality, so they admired Chu Nan and got along well with Chu Nan, so they naturally hoped that Chu Nan would always be safe.

However, Chu Nan helped their father Zhu Yuanzhang to come up with so many evil schemes, and at the same time he knew so much about Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts and understood Zhu Yuanzhang so well.

And according to their father's character, if he passed away, then Chu Nan's future...

Thinking of this, the princes all became worried. I wonder if Chu Nan will be okay...

However, they thought again and felt that this kind of thing was actually very difficult to say. Their father and the others did understand, but Chu Nan and the others did not. Perhaps Chu Nan had already prepared a retreat.

"Father." At this time, Zhu Biao no longer thought about it and asked.

"Master Chu, do you want to adopt this plan?"

"Yes, of course." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and his face turned cold.

Everyone's existence in this world has his meaning, and everyone has his role to a person.

Lan Yu's role in Zhu Yuanzhang's battles was to lead troops to fight for him.

But once Lan Yu's skills were almost mastered by his sons, what role would Lan Yu still have? In addition, Lan Yu had such an arrogant personality, why would Zhu Yuanzhang tolerate him?
Lan Yu only holds a low position now, but he has become so arrogant. A hundred years after Zhu Yuanzhang passes away, if Lan Yu really becomes a capable general like Xu Da, who can suppress him?
He believed that Zhu Biao could suppress Lan Yu, but what if he couldn't? So Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to gamble! He wanted to do everything for his descendants in his lifetime!

Then he looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, remember to do what Yao Guangxiao did."

"That's how we deal with Lan Yu's matter."

"Yes, yes." Zhu Biao had no choice but to agree, and then go and persuade Lan Yu again when he had the chance.

After all, he is his wife's uncle. If he dies, his wife will be very sad.

This father is too cruel. He colluded with others to kill his own relatives.

"Okay." Seeing that things had come to this point, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to talk about another thing, and he looked at Chu Nan.

"Chu Nan..."
