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

Chapter 99 Chu Nan’s goal is to make Ming Dynasty more suitable for him to lie down!

The hatred in his eyes grew stronger and stronger! Since he didn't know which of the two was the poisoner, he might as well kill them all.

It’s just a pity that this time Chu Nan and Yao Guangxiao were both taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang. Otherwise, if they stayed in Nanjing, he would definitely find a way to kill these two people.

But he was no longer in a hurry.

Since he had made a deal with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and betrayed Zhu Yuanzhang, he had to carry on with this betrayal to the end.

The first thing is to turn the Jinling court upside down, place as many of your own people as possible, and at the same time win over more people.

In this way, his strength will become very strong, and when he wants to start a rebellion later, it will be very smooth.

"Haha!" Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong grinned.

Zhu Yuanzhang, you are so careless that you let me, Hu Weiyong, stay in Nanjing. Isn't this giving me room to grow? When you come back, Nanjing will already be mine!

And not only that, he also planned to continue selling information to the Northern Yuan people. It would be even better if the Northern Yuan people could continue their efforts, defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop, or even kill Zhu Yuanzhang.

By then, the Ming Dynasty would truly be his world.

As Hu Weiyong thought about this, his expression became increasingly gloomy. He believed that this was a good development no matter what.

But what Hu Weiyong didn't know was that among the civilians, soldiers, and officials at the scene, there were no less than dozens of pairs of eyes staring at his every move.

More than ten days later.

Because it was a support force, Zhu Yuanzhang's army marched at a fairly fast speed.

The vanguard cavalry unit has already crossed Shuntian Prefecture, and Zhu Yuanzhang's main central army is about to arrive at Shuntian Prefecture.

However, Chu Nan felt that the days were very boring. Although he had seen the beautiful mountains and rivers of China, the days of marching day after day were really boring.

Because he can't build anything anymore.

All he could do every day was to eat some bread on the grain cart, chat with the soldiers next to him, and then take a rest while waiting to set up camp.

But seeing him like this was boring, the marching infantry next to him was depressed, "Are you bored sitting in a car? We are all walking, it's so painful."

However, along the way, Chu Nan felt that the Ming Dynasty was still very backward.

Once you leave Jinling, you can see many dilapidated houses and villages, as well as poor people.

Even this most elite Ming army was actually not as good as the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago, because the Tang army's infantry were all mounted on horses during marches.

But most of the Ming army's infantry were real infantry and walked on their feet.

So it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty was really poor at the moment. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang and the court ministers did not want to go to war. It was really too poor.

Therefore, Chu Nan secretly made up his mind to create more modern things to make the lives of the people in this era better.

Only when the people's lives are better can the Ming Dynasty court be more stable and people can live better.

This is what Chu Nan thought, while Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the imperial carriage, checking intelligence from all sides.

At the same time, Yao Guangxiao was also in the car, reading the information to him.

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence from the front, although Lan Yu was defeated, he was able to stabilize the situation and did not continue to fight with the Beiyuan people. The Beiyuan's several sneak attacks were also beaten back, and there was no further loss."

"It's just that because we were defeated, the morale of the army has collapsed, and the food and grass are a bit low."

“No need to worry about this,” Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"The reason I'm going to the frontline this time is to resupply food and grass to Lan Yu and his men. Tell them not to worry, because all problems will be solved once my army arrives." At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that he was good at employing people. Although Lan Yu was betrayed and defeated, he was still able to stabilize the morale of the army.

And Yao Guangxiao continued to report.

"The princes were not harmed, and the second prince Zhu Chong and the fourth prince Zhu Di even killed the enemy with their own hands."

"What?" But Zhu Yuanzhang panicked when he heard this.

"What are these two guys doing? I sent them there to learn the skills of a general, not to let them fight as soldiers."

Zhu Yuanzhang was panicked. He had been on the battlefield before and had fought his way up from a small soldier step by step. As a result, he had been injured and knew how dangerous the battlefield was.

Even if you are a prince or emperor, you will die if you are attacked by a hidden arrow or an open knife.

Then he gave the order directly: "Send me a message, tell these two guys not to go to the battlefield, send them back quickly, if they dare to go to the battlefield again, I will remove their fiefdoms."

"Yes." Then Yao Guangxiao called the messenger and the order was quickly issued.

"That's right." But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang became curious again.

"Is there any news from Jinling?"

"Got it." After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Yao Guangxiao immediately took out another secret report.

"Your Majesty, news came from Nanjing that Hu Weiyong took action three days after you left."

"Oh? What action?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately put down what he was doing and listened. Could it be that as Chu Nan said, this Hu Weiyong was really a traitor?
Yao Guangxiao also continued to speak, but his expression became more and more serious.

"According to the secret reports from the Jinyiwei spies, Hu Weiyong did a lot of things in Nanjing. The first thing he did was to transfer some officials and replace many positions with his own people."

"At the same time, he also won over many officials and developed them into his own people."

"Oh? Forming a clique for personal gain?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold when he heard it.

Fortunately, following Chu Nan's suggestion, he established the Jinyiwei system, otherwise he would have been kept in the dark by Hu Weiyong.

But Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again: "Didn't Hu Weiyong do anything else?"

If Hu Weiyong had not done anything else, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have done anything to him now.

Because many people in the court would form cliques for personal gain and stick together for warmth, such as Yang Xian, Li Shanchang, and they even set up the Huaixi Party and the Zhejiang East Party.

But Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye to this, and the reason was very simple.

It's Chu Nan's theory of killing the donkey after it has done its job. He still needs to use people like Hu Weiyong. As long as Hu Weiyong has no intention of rebellion, it doesn't matter if he forms a clique for personal gain now. He can just settle accounts with them later.

Therefore, what he is concerned about now is whether Hu Weiyong has the intention of rebellion. If so, he cannot keep him.

So he stared at Yao Guangxiao and started asking questions.

"The secret report says whether Hu Weiyong has colluded with the Yuan people."

This was Chu Nan's guess, and also what he was most worried about.

If there is no such thing, then it’s fine. But if there is, then Hu Weiyong cannot be kept, no matter how great his ability is.

"Your Majesty, the secret report says..." When Zhu Yuanzhang asked, Yao Guangxiao also talked about the contents of the secret report.
