Chapter 268 Records of Rebels
"Lan Yu, a native of Dingyuan, is the younger brother of Chang Yuchun's wife, King of Kaiping."
"Zhu Biao married Chang Yuchun's daughter, Zhu Biao talks about kinship, belongs to Lan Yu's nephew, and this kind of relationship between relatives is also destined for Lan Yu to stand on the side of the prince of the East Palace."
"Lan Yu even once admonished Zhu Biao and killed Zhu Di, he felt that Zhu Di had the intention of rebellion."
"If you can admonish brothers to kill each other, you can also see the relationship between Zhu Di and Lan Yu, which belongs to the confidants."
"But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't kill Lan Yu, he has been observing Lan Yu's attitude towards Zhu Biao, and he found that Lan Yu is extremely protective and loyal to Zhu Biao, so he is also laissez-faire and indulgent to Lan Yu."
"But after Zhu Biao's death, the elderly Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his weak grandson Zhu Yunwen, and he began to think of Lan Yu's various domineering, and his generals who only knew the military order and did not know the holy decree."
"After he dies, will Sapphire rebel?"
"Can Zhu Yunwen control this blue jade?"
"Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who has seen more dead people than Zhu Yunwen has seen living people, so he is not naïve - kill!"
"Killed so many officials, not a single blue jade."
"The Lanyu case was reported by Jinyiwei, who is the emperor's eagle dog, adhering to Zhu Yuanzhang's will."
"This shows that the Lanyu case was planned by Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and its purpose is still for his family and the world, for the Zhu dynasty."
"In addition, the scope of the implication has reached 15,000 people, and Zhu Yuanzhang has caused a river of blood to kill tens of millions for the selfish benefit of one of his surnames, which fully proves that his brutality and inhumanity are outrageous."
"Actually, you should be able to see it at this time, Lan Yu is an opening."
"After Zhu Biao's death, the position of the crown prince was vacant, and his successor was his son Zhu Yunwen, who was only fifteen years old at the time, young and inexperienced, can he make the heroes obey him?"
"Especially unlike Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Biao went through the hardships of the early days of the founding of the country, while Zhu Yunwen spent it in the court, and from all angles, it was difficult for the heroes to accept his rule."
"Therefore, not only Lan Yu, but also other heroes are also in danger."
"However, to get rid of them en masse, one needs a suitable crime, and that charge is treason."
"Lan Yu became the target of accusations, while the other heroes were seen as accomplices in aiding the rebellion."
"Lan Yu may be a little arrogant, but he shouldn't have the heart to rebel, he can treat Zhu Di as a threat, he definitely has the ability, if this person lives, he may become a major force against Zhu Di."
"Although it is difficult to reach the scale of 15,000 people no matter how many heroes there are, among these 15,000 people, some of them have died quite bizarrely, such as Zhan Hui, the official of the ministry."
"Zhan Hui was originally an official who tried the case, but in the end he became Lan Yu's henchman, how did this happen?"
"Just because when interrogating Lan Yu, he loudly reprimanded Lan Yu and demanded that he confess, but Lan Yu bit back and framed him as his accomplice."
"There is also a Hanlin Academy classic named Sun Zhe, who was also accused of becoming Lan Yu's accomplice because he painted a painting of Lan Yu."
"All in all, the people involved in the Lan Yu case are complicated, and it only takes one sentence or one thing to be convicted as Lan Yu's henchmen."
"If this kind of rash verdict drags on for a long time, it will not only be 15,000 people, but may even expand to more than 100,000 people."
"In addition, in order to ensure that the Lanyu case became an ironclad case, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately collected the confessions of thousands of people in the Lanyu case and compiled a record called "Records of Rebels".
"In the record of "Rebel Ministers", almost all the confessions of relevant personnel are included, but there is no confession from Lan Yu, which shows that Lan Yu does not admit that he has rebelled at all."
"Moreover, some of these confessions are really questionable about IQ."
"For example, a certain villager named Zhang Rensun, who was obviously just an ordinary dyer, but Lan Yu gave him the task of purchasing weapons, and promised that if he succeeded, he would be crowned a great official."
"There is also a fisherman named Lao Jiang, who claims that Lan Yu specially asked him to rebel together."
"This is a bit ridiculous, considering Lan Yu's identity and status, if he really intends to rebel, how can he find these ordinary people to help him?"
"To put it mildly, does Lan Yu have the capital to rebel?"
"The Battle of Yuerhai took place in the twenty-first year of Hongwu, and the Lan Yu case broke out in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, in just five years, how could Lan Yu accumulate enough capital to rebel?"
"If Lan Yu doesn't die, is there no matter for Zhu Di?"
"The Zhu Dynasty is in the heart of the world, what is Lan Yu against?"
"When Zhu Di rebelled, did the armies recognize Zhu Di?"
"This is Zhu Yuanzhang's son's rebellion, and he is much higher than Lan Yu in terms of morality."
"Emperor Jianwen was too ruthless to the vassal king, and the few families before King Yan were basically out of place, so many people maintained sympathy for King Yan, so they were neutral, and King Yan's banner of Jingnan was justified."
"Actually, I'm still very curious about this, how can I kill tens of thousands of people at every turn in a big case?"
"How rare were the ancient scholars?"
"The Lanyu case, the killing of the Marquis and the Earl, the governor, the same knowledge, the servant, all command, command, a thousand households are not enough, you have to kill a hundred households and almost more than 10,000 family members!"
"This history is terrifying, this is the Wehrmacht directly to the company commander level?"
"According to the case executed by this Jinyi Guard, it seems that there are more than 10,000 people in this person."
"This Hongwu 26 Wei is really not a joke, especially at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, if you have an accident, say otherwise, it is a matter of minutes for these people who have not caused an accident to digest your little people."
"The Lan Yu case still has few killings, after all, it is already the twilight of life, if it weren't for Zhu Biao's moth, Zhu Yuanzhang would have actually killed enough."
"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei had too much power, and when it came to the Qin case, he didn't have to go through the trial, he would kill each hall after he was arrested, and if he had a grudge, he would take revenge on him, and the involvement became widespread, 10,000 people are nothing, but are you so not short of people?"
Li Shimin: There must be no shortage of people, how can a country with tens of millions of people be wiped out with just a few tens of thousands of people, but this thing should not be done? You have a right question, the officials who can enter the imperial court must not be ordinary, even if there are many students, they are not killed like this.
Zhao Gou: Why is this Zhu Yuanzhang called Mingjun, isn't this a tyrant?
For the sake of his own Zhu dynasty, coupled with the wide range of involvement reached as many as 15,000 people, Zhu Yuanzhang caused a river of blood to kill tens of millions for the selfish interests of one of his surnames, which fully proves that his cruelty and inhumanity are outrageous.
