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

Chapter 95 Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, you said the traitor is the Prime Minister of my Ming Dynasty?

"Do you know who this traitor is?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this. Even his Jinyiwei didn't know who this traitor was, but Chu Nan actually knew who it was?
He asked directly: "Who is he? Tell me quickly and I will kill him!"

Yao Guangxiao and Liu Bowen were also curious and looked at Chu Nan. They had zero tolerance for anyone who was a traitor.

"Well, I'm just guessing." But when he heard them asking, Chu Nan became serious.

"I actually have a candidate in mind, but I don't have any evidence, so I still need to collect evidence to verify it. But I think my guess is pretty close."

"But there is still no conclusive evidence, so I am still not in a position to say it."

"Huh? What are you afraid of!" But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to listen to Chu Nan's suspense, so when Chu Nan said this, Zhu Yuanzhang started to urge him directly.

"Just tell me who this person is. If there is anything, I will take care of it for you. With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Yao Guangxiao and Liu Bowen were also expecting Chu Nan to tell them who this person was.

"This person?" But when Chu Nan heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he frowned.

"Your Majesty, forget it. I really don't have any conclusive evidence. I am just making random guesses and I am suspected of framing my colleagues."

"Haha." But after listening to what Chu Nan said, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, then narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of wisdom flashed in them.

"Chu Nan, don't think that if you don't tell me, I won't know who you are guessing."

"I have already guessed that the person you are thinking of is Hu Weiyong, right?"

"What!" Chu Nan was shocked upon hearing this and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang be so powerful? Chu Nan guessed that it was Hu Weiyong, because in history, Hu Weiyong died for treason.

He also took great pains to plot a rebellion. Not only did he cultivate his own followers in the court, he even colluded with the Yuan people. That's why Chu Nan guessed that it was Hu Weiyong's.

But how did Zhu Yuanzhang know all this?
"Is it really Hu Weiyong?" Chu Nan was shocked to see him, and Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao were also surprised.

"Chu Nan, did you guess Hu Weiyong?"

"Haha." Seeing their surprise, Zhu Yuanzhang was very calm.

"In fact, isn't it very simple to know who Chu Nan guessed?"

"Since this person can know the movements of our army and pass the information to the Northern Yuan people, then he must have a very high status in our Ming Dynasty."

"And when I asked who this person was, Chu Nan refused to tell me, so you, Chu Nan, must be afraid of this person. In the court of the Ming Dynasty, there are quite a few people who you, Chu Nan, are afraid of, but not many either."

"But I think the person you fear the most is definitely Hu Weiyong."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Nan with eyes that saw through everything: "After all, Hu Weiyong has guessed that you are a ruthless person who offered me strategies, so how can you not be afraid?"

"Am I right, Chu Nan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise..." Chu Nan praised Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was already shocked in his heart.

As expected of Zhu Yuanzhang, it is so easy to guess. Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is really scary.

"But, this can't be." But when Yao Guangxiao heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he looked at Chu Nan in disbelief.

"Lord Chu, Lord Hu Weiyong has long followed Your Majesty and fought back against the Yuan people."

"Besides, he is currently the right prime minister of the Secretariat of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, he will most likely be the left prime minister of the Secretariat of the Ming Dynasty. He is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. So how could he collude with the Yuan people? It's unnecessary and irrational."

"Yes, Hu Weiyong shouldn't be like this." Liu Bowen didn't quite believe it. Although Hu Weiyong was a bad person who did all kinds of bad things and didn't get along with him, Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen didn't quite believe that Hu Weiyong was such a person.

Is he going to give up his position as prime minister of the Ming Dynasty and go to the Northern Yuan Dynasty to be an official? Isn't this nonsense?

"Chu Nan, how do you explain this?" Zhu Yuanzhang was also puzzled and asked Chu Nan.

"Do you really think that Hu Weiyong is a traitor?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang guessed that Chu Nan guessed it was Hu Weiyong, he still didn't quite believe it. After all, Hu Weiyong had followed him, Zhu Yuanzhang, for so many years.

"This..." Chu Nan felt helpless when he heard it.

"So, Your Majesty, I am just guessing. I have said before that I dare not say who this person is. Didn't Your Majesty also mention Hu Weiyong?"

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this seemed to be the case. He had indeed guessed Hu Weiyong.

Chu Nan's suspicion of Hu Weiyong was just a suspicion without any evidence, so how could he ask him to produce evidence?

Then he became serious: "I understand. I will arrange for someone to investigate Hu Weiyong. We will tell you whether it is true or false after we get the evidence."

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that with the Jinyiwei around, he would be able to find out the truth quickly.

"But." But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang became concerned about another thing.

"If I knew that Hu Weiyong was a traitor, how would I deal with the Northern Yuan people?"

The Northern Yuan people killed so many elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear to go without revenge.

"This..." But when Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, they were shocked.

Because after Chu Nan said this, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have acquiesced. Did Hu Weiyong become a traitor?
Oh my god, this is too scary. How much does Zhu Yuanzhang trust Chu Nan? Or is Chu Nan so powerful that he can easily convince Zhu Yuanzhang with just a few words?
They felt horrible.

"Your Majesty, if we knew that Hu Weiyong was a traitor, it would be much easier to deal with the Northern Yuan people. Didn't I just say that? Use him to pass on false information."

"At the same time, I suggest that you lead the army in person."

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled when he heard this.

"Why?"

They understood that passing on false information was indeed a good idea, but they did not understand why the emperor led the army in person.

Don’t think that leading the army in person is a good thing and makes the emperor look handsome.

Because if an incompetent emperor led the army in person, it would not only waste manpower and money, but also interfere with the judgment of the generals on the front line, leading to defeat.

For example, Sun Quan, the Emperor of Wu, once personally led an expedition to Hefei. What happened? He lost countless lives and Zhang Liao was enshrined in the Temple of Martial Arts.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a very capable emperor who had fought on the battlefield and played all-in with Chen Youliang, he did not dare to go to the battlefield easily.

After all, he still has to guard Nanjing, and the situation in Nanjing is not very stable.

Moreover, even if Lan Yu was defeated now, he still had Li Wenzhong and Xu Da, so there was no need for him to go to the battlefield himself.

So when he heard Chu Nan's proposal, he rejected it directly.

"Chu Nan, I don't think it's necessary to lead the army in person, right? Even if I lead the army in person, it won't change the situation, right? Isn't your method unreasonable?"
