Hu Weiyong is confused. Who is the evil scholar of the Ming Dynasty?
Chapter 142 Hu Weiyong is confused. Who is the evil scholar of the Ming Dynasty?
Although Hu Weiyong spoke very arrogantly, he still wanted to ask who this imperial envoy was.
"It's Chu Nan." Tu Jie answered honestly.
"What, Chu Nan!" But when he heard this name, Hu Weiyong, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly showed a look of shock on his face and looked at Tu Jie in disbelief.
"Is it really Chu Nan? Please confirm it again!"
"Really?" Tu Jie didn't know why Hu Weiyong was so shocked. He thought he had seen it wrong. He looked at it again and then nodded.
"I am not mistaken. It is the Right Censor-in-Chief, the Prince's Junior Tutor, Chu Nan."
"What!" Hu Weiyong stood up from his chair, his face full of shock. What was going on? How could Chu Nan be the imperial envoy?
Chu Nan was a vicious scholar who gave advice to Zhu Yuanzhang. Why would Zhu Yuanzhang let Chu Nan come to Nanjing if he didn't put him in a safe place?
Jinling is such a dangerous place now. He asked Chu Nan to come to Jinling. What if his life is in danger? This is unreasonable, isn't it?
Hu Weiyong frowned, "Logically, Yao Guangxiao should be the one to come. Why did they let Chu Nan come? Isn't that unreasonable?"
"But Lord Hu." Tu Jie frowned when he heard it.
"According to the report from the front, Yao Guangxiao led his troops to flee from the battlefield. Your Majesty, it is too late to punish him now, so why did you let him come?"
"These are not reasons." Hu Weiyong shook his head.
If Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to protect someone, he wouldn't care whether the person was guilty or not. He was the emperor. Whoever he said was guilty was guilty, and whoever he said had made contributions was meritorious.
Hu Weiyong really couldn't understand. He had always believed that Chu Nan was the one who came up with the evil plan for Zhu Yuanzhang, but why did Zhu Yuanzhang let him come to the dangerous place now?
Could it be that the one who helped Zhu Yuanzhang come up with the evil plan was not Chu Nan, but Yao Guangxiao?
"Sir Hu, then we..." But while Hu Weiyong was thinking, Tu Jie became anxious.
"How should we respond? According to the news, Chu Nan was ordered to rush to the capital. It is estimated that he will arrive in Jinling in a few days."
"Should we clear all the evidence immediately? It would be bad if Chu Nan finds out."
"There's no need to rush." Hu Weiyong shook his head.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is not here, this Jinling is surnamed Hu. Whatever I want Chu Nan to see, he can see it. Whatever I don't want him to see, he can't see it!"
"It's no use for him to check!"
"And..." Hu Weiyong stopped talking here and just thought to himself.
Moreover, he also wanted to use a little flaw to confirm whether it was Chu Nan or Yao Guangxiao who offered the poisonous plan to Zhu Yuanzhang.
If not, then later.
If it was Chu Nan, no matter whether Chu Nan was an imperial envoy or something else, he would find a way to kill Chu Nan.
"That's right." After thinking about all this, he looked at Tu Jie standing beside him.
"What is Yang Xian doing now?"
"Yang Xian." After hearing the final words, Tu Jie showed fear on his face.
"Yang Xian is still harboring evil intentions. He has contacted many ministers and nobles, trying to get them to write a letter to His Majesty and allow him to return to the capital."
"He has spent a lot of money during this period!"
"Master Hu, should we do something? What if he really gets up and does that to us..."
"No need!" Hu Weiyong's face was full of disdain after hearing what Tu Jie said.
"Again, let Yang Xian do whatever he wants to do. One day, everything he does will be used by the true face!"
"We should not do anything now, just wait and see, wait for Chu Nan to come back, wait for Yang Xian to become powerful, wait for everything to happen." "This is..." Tu Jie agreed, but he didn't understand why Hu Weiyong did this, but he could feel that Hu Weiyong seemed to be playing a very big game.
……
Datong.
Zhu Yuanzhang's 50,000-strong army is currently resting here. After fighting for such a long time, many soldiers and horses are injured and are receiving treatment here.
At the same time, the uninjured soldiers also felt tired and rested here.
Although they were resting, they were also provided with good food and drink. Many captured cattle and sheep were killed for them to eat. The soldiers were quite happy.
But although these soldiers were happy, their emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was not very happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang's temporary palace.
"Ah, ah, sister, stop hitting me! The children are all here!" A frightened voice sounded. When I looked in the direction of the voice, it turned out to be the all-powerful Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Empire!
He was hiding behind a document, looking at the noble woman in front of him with an unpleasant expression: "Sister, I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you have to at least give me some face!"
"Face?" The person who was about to hit him was Empress Ma, who was holding a feather duster and was furious.
"Zhu Chongba, if you want to save face, just destroy my heir!"
"Think about it yourself. When did you come up with that plan, did you ever consider our dignity? You actually asked me to stand with a stand-in? You're going too far!"
"When you leave this door, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but when you enter this door, you are Zhu Yuanzhang!"
"Today, either I beat you up, or you order me to be killed!"
"Sister, please don't..." Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Empress Ma to be so resistant, so he had to speak.
"Then forget it. Let's not use this trick, okay?"
"Is that not necessary?" The prince was standing below, and was stunned when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang like this.
Although they knew that their father both loved and feared Empress Ma, they did not expect that the strategy they had agreed upon would be immediately changed when facing Empress Ma.
We agreed that we never joke, why do you change it just like that?
"This..." Chu Nan was also here at the moment, shocked. Zhu Yuanzhang is really a henpecked man. So is this plan going to fail?
"Okay, okay." But just when they thought they should change their way to deal with the people of Jinling, Queen Ma spoke again.
She looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a helpless look on her face: "It's okay to just stand there. Don't let this happen again in the future. This time, let it go."
"Okay, okay." Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. As long as this plan succeeded, going back and sweeping across Nanjing would not be a problem.
"But this plan is too outrageous." Queen Ma thought about it and spoke again, giving Zhu Yuanzhang a blank look.
"How can there be such a plan? Your plans are getting more and more vicious."
"This can't be blamed on me." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately passed the blame upon hearing this.
"This plan was proposed by Lao Si... No, it was proposed by Chu Nan."
"Ah, Chu Nan?" Queen Ma was surprised when she heard it.
"You were the one who came up with this plan?"
"Ah?" Chu Nan was surprised. Although I was the one who set up the trap, it was actually the fourth brother who said it. How could it be me?
But when he saw the worried looks on Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang's faces, he immediately understood that they were going to use him as a shield.
We definitely cannot say Zhu Yuanzhang, but if we say it is Zhu Di, Empress Ma will definitely scold Zhu Yuanzhang by saying that Zhu Di learned bad things from Zhu Yuanzhang.
So they put the blame on themselves, but the key is that they can't take the blame themselves, but now they can only admit it.
Chu Nan didn't dare to look at Queen Ma's eyes, for fear of seeing disappointment in them: "Reply, Reply Queen, it's you who are below..."
