In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, when the peasant rebels attacked the Shu King's Mansion in Sichuan Province, they found a very delicate box, which was found in a dark corner, and inside the box there was a well-preserved human skin, and the entire human skin was peeled off alive. It was eventually confirmed that this human skin belonged to the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Blue Jade.
The name blue jade is very unfamiliar to most people, in fact, blue jade is the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, who made great military achievements for Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang also treated him with courtesy. But why did such a founding hero end up like this?
Lan Yu was born as a military general, and from the beginning of serving under the Kaiping King Chang YuChun tent to the southwest of Pingding, the road was very smooth, and there were countless achievements in large and small battles. As a major general of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu commanded large armies many times and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave him quite high treatment. But as Sapphire's official position became higher and higher, Sapphire itself became more and more proud, arrogant, and did not take anyone seriously. For example, once after the great defeat of the Yuan army, he did not rush back to report the results of the battle. Instead, she openly raped the Yuan Concubine, who was humiliated and hanged herself. After Zhu Yuanzhang learned of this matter, he was furious. However, he saw that Sapphire had made great achievements and would not pursue Sapphire's guilt. Just give him a warning to change the title of Blue Jade from "Liang Guogong" to "Liang Guogong".
I thought that blue jade would relent, who knew that blue jade had become more rampant, repeatedly challenging Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line. Lan Yu arranged for his cronies in the army to take bribes, and Zhu Yuanzhang hated such people the most. Blue Jade was still talking wildly at the banquet. Repeatedly angered Zhu Yuanzhang. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it anymore and beat Lan Yu into prison. Inside the big prison, Lan Yu still couldn't believe that he had made such a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, but in the end he was treated like this. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang sentenced Lan Yu to the punishment of peeling the skin, and did not remember the merits of The Blue Jade at all.
Not only that, Lan Yu was also saddled with a crime of treason, although there was not enough evidence to prove that Lan Yu wanted to rebel, but Zhu Yuanzhang preferred to believe that he had it or not. Not only did Blue Jade execute, but also all of Blue Jade's former henchmen, a total of more than 15,000 people, and this incident was also known as the "Blue Jade Case".
In short, the sins of heaven are particularly forgivable, and the sins of oneself cannot be lived. Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a cruel person, and Blue Jade was still blindly proud of his achievements. If Lan Yu is the same as Wei Qing, no matter how much merit he has made, he knows what to do, knows his duty, and be a wise person. In this way, Sapphire may not end up with a miserable end of skinning.
