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

Chapter 77 Are you my enemy, Chu Nan? Then I have no choice but to use the most poisonous trick to poison you to death!

However, no matter how calm Yang Xian was, some micro-expressions would still appear on his face.

Naturally, all these micro-expressions, as well as Lan Yu's big movements, were seen by Hu Weiyong, who sneered in his heart.

"hehe."

Yang Xian, Lan Yu, not only you two hate Chu Nan, I hate Chu Nan too. I am too afraid of Chu Nan. If he is favored, it will threaten my position. I feel uneasy.

And you, Chu Nan, you didn't expect that after you offered advice to Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Xian and Lan Yu would both deal with you. What you didn't expect was that they were just a knife for me, Hu Weiyong.

Besides them, I, Hu Weiyong, am also secretly trying to deal with you. Let’s see what you, Chu Nan, will do!
In addition to this matter that made him happy, there was another thing that made him happy, which was that he had now been appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang as the right prime minister of the Secretariat.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the left was generally respected, so the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat was the biggest. But after Li Shanchang abdicated, the position of Left Prime Minister was directly vacant, so now he is the biggest, so how can he not be happy.

"Lord Chu is here." At this time, Chu Nan also walked into the hall. Many people who didn't know the situation immediately tried to curry favor with him when they saw him.

"Master Chu, is it hard work? You've been promoted so much. Are you tired?"

"How could Lord Chu be so tired? He is now rising step by step, rising rapidly, and full of energy!"

"That's right, that's right, do everything with full energy, use your full energy!"

However, apart from these fawning officials, Chu Nan could clearly feel a few other gazes staring at him intently.

Chu Nan didn't even need to think, it must be the gazes of Yang Xian and Lan Yu.

However, Chu Nan didn't care much about it and was not afraid at all. Instead, he was observing to see if there were any other people who wanted to kill him besides these two. After all, he suspected that the person behind Lan Yu might not be Yang Xian.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" At this time, the eunuch's voice sounded, and Zhu Yuanzhang walked over with a step that did not recognize any relatives, and sat directly on the dragon throne.

"Long live the emperor!" All the ministers saluted immediately.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say much, but went straight to business and looked at Lan Yu.

"Lan Yu, you have made great contributions many times. I didn't reward you before in order to train you. But it's not right to not reward you all the time, so I will reward you greatly today."

"Announce to the world, I appoint Lan Yu as the third-rank general Zhaoyong!"

"Third rank!" Upon hearing this, all the ministers present were shocked.

Lan Yu was previously a fifth-rank military commander, but he was promoted four levels all of a sudden to the third-rank general Zhaoyong?

This situation shocked Hu Weiyong. It was okay that Chu Nan was promoted so quickly, but how come Lan Yu was also promoted so quickly?
If Lan Yu wasn't stupid, reckless, and naive, he would have felt threatened and wanted to kill Lan Yu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" After hearing about Zhu Yuanzhang's promotion, Lan Yu was so happy that he exploded on the spot.

He knelt on the ground and thanked Zhu Yuanzhang madly.

"Your Majesty, I, Lan Yu, will follow you till death, even if it means going through fire and water!"

He was really happy. Damn, he had been a fifth-rank official before and was even punished by Zhu Yuanzhang, but now he was finally a third-rank official.

It seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang was really going to use him and lead an army of 100,000 to fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He was so happy that he even forgot about dealing with Chu Nan.

"Okay." After Zhu Yuanzhang announced what he was going to do, he wanted to see if his ministers had anything else to say, so he asked directly.

"If you have something to report, please report it early. If you don't, please dismiss the court." "Your Majesty, I have something to report." But just after Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, a minister from the Ministry of Revenue immediately stood up.

"The public is reacting that the lives of the people of our Ming Dynasty are becoming more difficult than before."

"Hmm?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this.

"Why?"

"Isn't my Ming Dynasty currently developing commerce? Isn't money from all over the world flowing into my Ming Dynasty? I often use this money to help the people. How can the people of my Ming Dynasty live a harder life?"

He really felt that what the official said was impossible.

"Your Majesty, things are not that simple." But when the official heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, his face became embarrassed.

"It's not that by developing business and having money, people's lives will be better, because many people in our Ming Dynasty don't have food to eat, and money can't be eaten."

"Why did this happen? It's because we helped the Japanese with a lot of food for free in order to buy silk from them. The Ming Dynasty didn't even have enough food to eat, and we helped them, so how could the people live well?"

"Yes!" At this time, another official stood up.

"Moreover, our Ming Dynasty's voyage plan also sent many people out, and we prepared a lot of food for them. This means that we have even less food, so how can the people not suffer?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at the memorial reported by the local authorities." Then, the official was about to submit the memorial.

"Huh?" But when Chu Nan heard what these officials said, he keenly realized that something was wrong.

Who was behind this? Was it aimed at his three strategies of developing commerce, dealing with the Japanese, and heading to the East? This was too obvious. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have believed it.

Because it is very simple to analyze. Developing business has always been a taboo for Zhu Yuanzhang and he does not support it. If he can prove that this is not possible, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely feel alienated from him.

The ocean trip to the East involved something that Zhu Yuanzhang was even more taboo about, which was the lifting of the maritime ban. If it was proven that this was not beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably hate himself.

Dealing with the Japanese was also one of Zhu Yuanzhang's taboos. When Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, he was afraid that future emperors would be like the Yuan emperors, fighting wars everywhere and engaging in militarism, so he designated Japan as a country that would not be conquered.

Chu Nan's plan to deal with Japan is also contrary to Zhu Yuanzhang's previous ideas. If this idea is overturned now, then Chu Nan would be in danger.

So even though these officials say they are speaking for the country and the people, they are actually doing it to deal with Chu Nan.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already read the report and his expression became serious.

Then he said coldly: "It seems that the lives of the people down there are really not good. The news in this report is all bad."

Then he pondered deeply: "Could it be that all my previous policies were problematic? After all, there has never been a wise ruler like me before?"

"There's hope!" Yang Xian was immediately delighted when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang like this.

In fact, these two ministers were sent by him, and what they said was also carefully considered by Yang Xian. Yang Xian was very happy to see that it was effective.

Haha, Chu Nan, do you think you really understand Zhu Yuanzhang?
Your evil schemes may be useful, but they are against Zhu Yuanzhang's inner thoughts. So as long as I stir up trouble a little and make some articles among the people, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart will be shaken and he will think that your schemes are useless.

And at this point, Chu Nan, do you think you will still be alive?

Chu Nan, you failed because your schemes are too vicious. A scheme that is too vicious will inevitably require the sacrifice of many things to achieve success, so the scheme itself has enough loopholes and is easy to overturn.

Chu Nan, now I want to see how you die!
"Haha." Hu Weiyong, who was watching everything, sneered when he saw this situation.

I didn't expect Yang Xian to be so capable as to force Chu Nan into such a predicament? Chu Nan, let's see what you can do now!
