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

Chapter 96: Zhu Yuanzhang was poisoned by Chu Nan. Chu Nan wanted to use Zhu Yuanzhang as bait to fish?

"Your Majesty is right." Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao also nodded.

It sounds grand and majestic that the emperor leads the army in person, but it is actually useless. The war that should be won will still be won, and the war that should be lost will still be lost. It does not have a particularly big impact on the war situation.

At least it has little impact on the current war with the Northern Yuan people.

At the same time, they also became a little proud. Hehe, this time it was Chu Nan who made the wrong decision. They didn’t expect that Chu Nan would make mistakes sometimes.

"Your Majesty, there are actually many benefits to leading the army in person." But when Chu Nan heard what they said, he remained calm.

"Especially in the current situation, if Your Majesty can lead the army in person, it will definitely do more good than harm."

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled when he heard Chu Nan's words.

"What's the benefit? Tell me."

Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao were also puzzled. How could this be seen as a benefit? Could it be that Chu Nan was forcing an explanation for the sake of face? They also became curious about Chu Nan's next words.

"Your Majesty." Chu Nan did not keep the matter in suspense and reported directly.

"Your Majesty, if you lead the army in person, it means you will be away from the court. Then you can leave the court to Hu Weiyong. If Hu Weiyong is a traitor, wouldn't it be easier to expose him?"

"And after you lead the army in person, you can make better use of the traitors to pass on information to the Northern Yuan people, causing them to make wrong judgments, and then defeat them."

Chu Nan's method is not without basis. In history, in order to deal with Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang directly let Hu Weiyong be regent, and then left Nanjing and went out on a tour.

As a result, after Hu Weiyong became regent, he felt the immense expansion of power, and his IQ dropped. He did a lot of wrong things and also exposed many of his own dirty deeds.

Therefore, not long after Zhu Yuanzhang returned, he took him down directly.

So Chu Nan also decided to follow the method that Zhu Yuanzhang used to deal with Hu Weiyong in history and set a trap for Hu Weiyong.

"So that's how it is?" After hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized.

It turns out that Chu Nan's personal expedition was not so much a military action, but was mainly intended to plot against Hu Weiyong and others.

Terrible, this time Zhu Yuanzhang is on the first floor, while Chu Nan is on the fifth floor! Too amazing.

Yao Guangxiao and Liu Bowen also widened their eyes. So, this was what it meant. The emperor’s personal expedition was just a cover. The real purpose was to deal with Hu Weiyong.

"No." But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something else and frowned.

"Chu Nan, your first point is correct. It can indeed trap the traitors in the court, but the second point is strange."

"How could I let the Northern Yuan people make a mistake in judgment and defeat them when I personally lead the army?"

"Yes." Yao Guangxiao and Liu Bowen also became puzzled.

Logically speaking, if the emperor leads the army in person, there must be a huge momentum, and the enemy troops would probably be scared away, so how could they dare to fight?
So Yao Guangxiao and Liu Bowen really didn’t understand.

"Your Majesty." But Chu Nan laughed when he heard it.

"In fact, many things can be thought of in reverse. Your mighty presence on the grassland may not necessarily scare away the Beiyuan people. It may also attract them."

"Huh?" Everyone present was confused when they heard this. What did Chu Nan mean?

"Because..." Seeing their curiosity, Chu Nan also revealed a cunning smile.

"If Your Majesty leads the army in person and then withdraws most of the soldiers around Your Majesty, you will be putting Your Majesty in danger. Then, the traitors will be notified to the Northern Yuan people. Your Majesty, do you think that the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty can still hold back?" "What!" After Chu Nan said this, Zhu Yuanzhang almost jumped into the sky and looked at Chu Nan in disbelief.

"You mean, use me as bait to lure out the main force of the Northern Yuan army?"

"Damn it!" Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately shocked.

"Chu Nan, you are too vicious. In order to win, you even schemed against me. Even I am vicious?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a very capable emperor. He was good at fighting wars, governing the country, and analyzing strategies.

So he knew Chu Nan's strategy was a good one as soon as he heard it. As long as he was used as bait and the message was passed through a traitor, how could the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty not be tempted?
If Zhu Yuanzhang was killed, the morale of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would be greatly boosted. If Zhu Yuanzhang was captured alive, the situation would definitely be better.

Therefore, if we really do this, the Northern Yuan people will definitely attack, and this method is also very feasible.

But this is too outrageous, isn't it? He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Is it necessary to risk his life like this?
It would be fine if we win, but if we lose, the Ming Dynasty will be leaderless, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

He was really speechless. Chu Nan was too poisonous. In the past, he only poisoned corrupt officials, unscrupulous businessmen, arrogant soldiers, people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and foreigners.

Now, not only has he started to poison the common people, he has also started to poison Zhu Yuanzhang. This is outrageous.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely shocked: "Chun Nan, you have made me start to doubt whether you are the traitor in the court."

He looked alert, feeling that Chu Nan wanted to take him to the grassland and sell him to the Northern Yuan people, and also wanted him to help Chu Nan count the money.

"This plan won't work." Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao also shook their heads.

Liu Bowen: "My dear Chu, your Majesty is worth a million gold, how can you move lightly?"

Yao Guangxiao: "You can have another chance, but if your majesty makes a mistake, it will be a disaster. Your majesty does not need to take such a risk. There is no need to rush to destroy the Northern Yuan people at this moment, right?"

"This..." Chu Nan didn't expect them to react so strongly. They made the decision before he even finished speaking. They were too hasty.

Then he turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, I said that you can be used as bait, but I certainly did not say that your bait must be real, right?"

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was confused. What does that mean? If it's not real, could it be fake?

"No!" But suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang realized something and widened his eyes. He seemed to understand Chu Nan's thoughts in an instant.

Yes, as long as he reaches the grassland and releases the information, the Northern Yuan people will come, and then he can use a substitute, then his own safety problem will be solved, right?

Then there will be no problem at all.

"Great!" After figuring this out, Zhu Yuanzhang felt refreshed.

Then he looked at Chu Nan and said, "Chu Nan, your plan is good. I have decided to do this."

"Ah?" But Yao Guangxiao and Liu Bowen were worried.

"Your Majesty, are you really willing to risk your precious life?"

"Of course." Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind after hearing their words.

"I think what you two just said is wrong. My safety is very important, but the chances of destroying the Northern Yuan Dynasty are not much."

"Now that Chu Nan's plan has weakened the Northern Yuan Dynasty to this extent, it is an opportunity to completely destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty. This opportunity is fleeting! So how can I let it go?"
