Once, when the Blue Jade Victory Class Master returned to the Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang went to the Blue Jade Army Camp to reward the soldiers. In the middle of the year, Lan Yu raised his wine glass and drunkenly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, but here, I am the head of the family, everyone here must listen to me, I let them go east, he does not dare to go west."
When his subordinates heard what Lan Yu said, they all fell to their knees with a thud, and their heads slammed heavily on the ground like garlic, saying, "Please forgive Your Majesty, General Lan, he is drunk, and all he said is nonsense, please forgive the emperor." ”。 Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, shook his yellow robe slightly with his hand, and said softly, "Your General Lan is drunk, help him go down and rest." After saying that, he left the tent without looking back.
Since the Blue Jade expedition to fish in the Sea of Er and completely destroy the Northern Yuan Small Imperial Court, Blue Jade's power in the army has suddenly risen. Since then, he has led troops to pacify the southwest many times, and has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
It is precisely because of these military achievements that Zhu Yuanzhang was also a good gift to blue jade, and Zhu Yuanzhang once praised blue jade above the imperial court when he returned from a victorious conquest in the northern expedition of blue jade, and compared his merits to Wei Qing and Huo.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so kind to himself, Blue Jade became a little fluttery, and began to discuss the government affairs of the government against his subordinates, and even did not call Zhu Yuanzhang emperor, but directly called him by his name. For these, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
Because of this, Blue Jade became more and more arrogant, and even dared to say the words at the beginning of this article to Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
The turning point came in 1392, when Crown Prince Zhu Biao suddenly died of illness. For Zhu Biao's untimely death, the saddest and most painful thing was Zhu Yuanzhang, and the successor who had been cultivated for so many years suddenly disappeared.
Sadness returns to sadness, but Zhu Yuanzhang still has to wipe away his tears and reconsider whether Daming Jiangshan's successor is or not. Out of his love for Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang did not even think about it and made Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunjiao the crown prince.
The prince has been chosen, so how can he sit in this position smoothly and smoothly? Zhu Yuanzhang began the most important reflection of his life.
Looking around the whole of the DPRK, the civilian and military generals who had followed them in the incident had basically done almost the same thing in killing and degrading. There is only one sapphire left, which has some weight in the dprk.
Blue jade and Zhu Biao have always been good, when Zhu Biao was still alive, Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried about blue jade, which was also the auxiliary team left by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Biao, so the previous tolerance for blue jade can also be understood.
But now that Zhu Biao was gone, he had to reconsider whether Blue Jade was anyone worthy of trust, and whether his imperial grandson Zhu Yunjiao could control Blue Jade and his group of proud generals in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time, and in the end, he made the final decision....
In 1393, Jin Yiwei commanded Jiang Yong to report a rebellion against Lan Yu, which also implicated a large number of military generals such as Cao Zhen the Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi the Marquis of Heshou, Zhu Shou the Marquis of Ship, Wang Bi the Marquis of Dingyuan, He Rong of dongzheng, and a large number of military generals such as The Official Shangshu Zhan Hui and the Hubu Attendant Fu Youwen.
Zhu Yuanzhang no longer waited, and the day after Jinyiwei commanded Jiang Yong to report it, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that Lan Yu and other cadres be arrested and imprisoned for treason and sentenced to skinning and torture, and more than fifteen thousand people were implicated before and after the case.
Regarding the case of Sapphire, there are many doubts, although Sapphire is proud of its achievements and has committed illegal acts, which is a fact. But to say that Blue Jade is plotting rebellion, I think it is unlikely.
The time of the Blue Jade case was a year after the death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, so I think the tragedy of Blue Jade was caused by Zhu Biao's early death, that is to say, Zhu Biao did not die, and Blue Jade did not have to die. After Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang thought more that Zhu Yunjiao could not control blue jade, so in order to clear the road to the throne for Zhu Yunjiao, he had to kill blue jade.
After the Blue Jade case, the founding military generals were basically slaughtered, so later when Zhu Yunwen eliminated the domain, Zhu Di rebelled, but Zhu Yunwen had no general to use, only the elderly Geng Bingwen. Later, he used Li Jinglong, a disciple of The Fool, and finally led to a complete defeat.
Zhu Yuanzhang painstakingly cleared all obstacles for Zhu Yunjiao, but he also swept away the Great Wall of self-preservation, if the blue jade did not die, Zhu Di would not dare to rebel, so the world was unpredictable, even if the emperor would be a general, it could not be violated.
