Since ancient times, the change of princes and ministers and the change of dynasties have all conformed to the trend of historical development, and according to historical records, a very thought-provoking event occurred in the Ming Dynasty. That is about Zhu Di, the uncle of Zhu Biao, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the dynasty, who was bent on rebellion.
But at that time, Zhu Biao, as the first candidate for the throne, had a very powerful minister Lan Yu around him, this person was brave and good at war, very strategic, Zhu Di was also difficult to rebel and compete for the throne because of the existence of Blue Jade, what strange things happened between them, let's take a look at it together:
Suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang
The story begins when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, and it should be known that the person who can sit on the emperor's seat is by no means an idle person. He must have both a benevolent heart and be able to persuade the public, but also have the decisiveness to make quick decisions when encountering things. And every generation of emperors is indispensable to the evaluation of the world, Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception, the people at that time gave him a high evaluation, because he did benefit many people during his reign.
Speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang, I have to mention the person of blue jade. Blue Jade was a good hero of Zhu Yuanzhang's founding of the country. As we all know, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who founded the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why he was able to overthrow the previous dynasty and achieve victory was that there must be a powerful army behind it, and the person in charge of this army was Blue Jade.
Blue Jade has been following Zhu Yuanzhang since before he ascended the throne, and the team led by Blue Jade is also very famous, the warriors are brave and good at fighting, the battle achievements are outstanding, and there are few cases of failure, which is also his strong backing for Zhu Yuanzhang. But since Zhu Yuanzhang took the throne, the relationship between the two has not been as pure as before, at least Zhu Yuanzhang is like this. Because with the passage of time, The ranks of Blue Jade gradually grew, and as a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang often worried that he would rebel.
Worried about it, but for the sake of the two who were born and died together, Zhu Yuanzhang still had no intention of attacking Blue Jade, after all, the frontier of the Ming Dynasty was still guarded by Blue Jade's army. However, at this time, the blue jade was a existence that had to be removed for a person, and this person was Zhu Di.
Take the opportunity to remove sapphire
At that time, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and established daming, he began to reward his sons, at this time Zhu Di was crowned the King of Yan and also had his own fiefdom, but his ambitions were not limited to a small King of Yan. Helplessly, he was not the eldest son of a concubine, and could only watch as the position of prince fell to Zhu Biao's head. Therefore, at this time, Zhu Di had already begun to plan rebellion, and his usual style of conduct also had the style of a king of a country.
It was precisely because of his actions that Blue Jade began to be wary of him, Blue Jade had a very good relationship with Zhu Biao at that time, and he also appreciated Zhu Biao very much, and had the heart to protect Zhu Biao from sitting on the throne, so he would discuss everything with Zhu Biao, so he told Zhu Biao that he suspected that Zhu Di was preparing to rebel, but Zhu Biao was kind and kind, and felt that Zhu Di should not have such a mind.
Helplessly, Lan Yu had to make another plan, and told Zhu Yuanzhang about this matter during the shang dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to it, felt that Lan Yu was really thinking about his son, and his heart was also very comforted, but he did not take Lan Yu's words to heart, because at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Di's rebellion was just a gimmick.
And Blue Jade's actions were also reported to Zhu Di by people with hearts, which made him want to kill Blue Jade and then be quick. But helplessly, his military strength is far inferior to Blue Jade, because Blue Jade has a very good set of training soldiers, his army is not only numerous, but also well-trained soldiers, in the early years with Zhu Yuanzhang's conquest of the battlefield, he also left a lot of forces in the country, therefore, at this time, If Zhu Di wanted Zhu Biao's life, it was completely impossible, so he had to wait for the opportunity first.
But soon, Zhu Di's opportunity came, and Zhu Biao, the crown prince, had not yet waited to succeed to the throne, and lost his life in a subsequent march and battle. Zhu Yuanzhang also had to make another plan, appointing his 16-year-old grandson Zhu Yunjiao as the crown prince, but he was still young and had not yet reached adulthood, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very worried.
In the face of the tiger's gaze of the ministers of the DPRK, Zhu Yuanzhang had to pave the way for the newly appointed prince, and at this time, the blue jade had no patron at all, and was only a shadow. This made Zhu Dike happy and broken, such a change was completely giving him an opportunity to take advantage of, and then, he only needed to dispose of the blue jade and relax.
He was well aware of Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious and suspicious personality, so every time he met Zhu Yuanzhang, he explicitly and secretly charged Lan Yu, at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very worried about Lan Yu's personality, afraid that he would be unfavorable to the new prince after his death, if Zhu Biao was still there, he naturally did not have to worry.
But now it is different, Blue Jade no longer needs to assist the prince, and with the continuous strengthening of its own strength, it is also very possible for Blue Jade to stand on its own mountain, coupled with Zhu Di knocking on the side of the side, after a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang also regarded Blue Jade as a threat and began to look for opportunities to execute Blue Jade.
It just so happened that once Sapphire was fighting outside, and when he returned to the city immediately, because the guards did not open the city gate in time, Blue Jade and the large army directly broke through the city gate. This was also seized by Zhu Yuanzhang, who killed Lan Yu in the name of plotting against the usurpation of the throne. Not only that, he also peeled off the skin of the blue jade body and gave it to his daughter as a souvenir.
A wicked man is his own hell
And Lan Yu's death is actually not innocent, he is a person with a meticulous mind, proud and arrogant, relying on the fact that he accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to break into the world, standing around, arrogant and unreasonable.
Even in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not restrain himself, and Zhu Yuanzhang was always jealous of him because of this. Not only that, But Sapphire also constantly cultivates its own cronies to strengthen its own team.
And his men are also like blue jade, often do not know how to restrain, robbing the people's women, have no compassion for the people, and treat the people like grass mustard. Therefore, in the eyes of the people, this person was not a good person, so when Zhu Yuanzhang killed Lan Yu, he would also execute all the generals related to him. Although it was numerous, he didn't care!
Speaking of Lan Yu's life, he can also be regarded as following the emperor, and it is indeed a little regrettable that he ended up like this, but it is also his own fault. After Lan Yu's death, Zhu Di also successfully plotted a rebellion as he wished, because no one would pose a threat to him again.
epilogue
In fact, if you think about it carefully, compared with Zhu Di and Blue Jade, Zhu Yuanzhang is still more familiar with Blue Jade, but why did Zhu Yuanzhang not leave Blue Jade, but let Zhu Di successfully rebel? This matter is indeed worth pondering, but it is also possible that Zhu Di and he are members of the same family. After all, the thinking at that time was very feudal, and even if the relationship between them was not good, the family title could not fall into the hands of others.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's brutality and ruthlessness are frightening, under his rule, it still brings happiness to hundreds of people, and it can be regarded as a high-welfare country, but with the changes of history, the Ming Dynasty has finally collapsed, and the history of Blue Jade is also telling us that we cannot rush to make quick gains in case of trouble, keep our bottom line, and not be arrogant, which is also protecting ourselves!
