Lanyu was the founding general of the Ming Dynasty. He was brave and good at fighting. He had made great contributions and fled to the Mongolian grassland. The remnant of the Yuan Dynasty, the "Northern Yuan" little court, was defeated by him in the Battle of Yuerhai.
But while this man has outstanding military capabilities, he is also very arrogant and domineering. It is precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang fears that his descendants will not be able to live with Lanyu after his death, he exhausted his power in his later years to uproot his power.
The Lanyu case involved more than 15,000 people. The officialdom and military circles in the early Ming Dynasty were basically embarrassed. As for Sapphire, it was even more miserable. He was ransacked and killed for the crime of treason, and he was also tortured by peeling the skin.
Such a ruthless character, if he can survive the Zhu Yunxian period, would Zhu Di still dare to rebel?
Let’s put it this way, it’s not a question of daring to rebel, but a question of whether to survive.
Zhu Yunqi is the emperor, if Zhu Di can honestly hand over the power of the army and be a simple and honest king with no desires, the probability of saving his life is relatively high. After all, his identity is the emperor's uncle, and Zhu Yunqi's ultimate goal is to regain the power of the king, not necessarily out of personal grievances to kill the uncles.
But if Lanyu is alive, both Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Di will be in danger.
With blue jade, Zhu Yunzhen's throne may not be able to sit securely, and if Zhu Di does not take measures, he will definitely die.
What is the reason? This starts from the identity of Sapphire.
In addition to being the founding general, he is also a relative of the emperor. Lan Yu's sister is the wife of another founding father Chang Yuchun. Their daughter is married to the prince Zhu Biao. In other words, Lan Yu is the uncle of the princess.
Leading this relationship, Lanyu and Donggong have always been close, and they have maintained the status of niece and niece.
Zhu Yuanzhang is also happy to see this. He chose the Chang clan for Zhu Biao's wife, originally with the idea of bringing the Chang family and the Lan family into the prince's camp. This is the military team he prepared for Zhu Biao.
All of this was originally conceived very well, but no one expected that Prince Zhu Biao would die young before Zhu Yuanzhang. In grief, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly discovered that the prince team who had lost Zhu Biao was not very stable.
Although Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to leave the throne to the line of the prince, but the immature emperor grandson Zhu Yunqi obviously did not have the ability to suppress blue jade. It is not difficult to foresee that the scene of military affairs and the dictatorship of foreign relatives will happen in the near future. Of course, this is something Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to see.
Regarding blue jade, Zhu Yuanzhang is always not at ease.
Earlier in Lanyu, he made a great victory in fishing. When the class teacher arrived at Xifeng Pass back in the morning, the guard at night did not dare to open and close the gate, so he broke the gate and broke in. He also arbitrarily defiled the captured concubine Bei Yuan, causing her to commit suicide in an unbearable manner.
Hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. He was originally going to make him Liang Guogong, but now he changed "Liang" to "Cool", and ordered people to engrave his mistakes on the hereditary certificate, hoping that he could think about his own mistakes. , Improved.
But Lanyu is still arrogant, Zhu Yuanzhang named him the crown prince and Tai Fu, but he was very dissatisfied and said, can I not be a great teacher with my credit?
Zhu Yuanzhang became even more dissatisfied with him when he knew about it. He was always on guard against powerful military commanders. Like Tang He and Xu Da, he had to be very cautious in front of him. Lan Yu hit the muzzle like this. , Isn't it looking for death
So, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to eradicate great troubles for the emperor and grandson, and then there was the "blue jade case" that shocked the government and the public and cut all the leek in the officialdom in the early Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang is worried that sapphire is not good for Zhu Yunqi while alive, and there is another factor, that is, Zhu Yunqi has no substantial blood relationship with sapphire at all.
Zhu Yunzhen was not from the Crown Princess Chang, his mother Lu was just Zhu Biao’s concubine. The Chang family had two sons, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi. Although Zhu Xiongying died young,Three Zhu Yunxue is still alive and well.
This allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to imagine the motive of Lan Yu's future rebellion. Whether it was due to the affection between relatives or the interests of the family, Lan Yu would fight for Zhu Yunxi's position as the emperor grandson.
Even if there was no fight to win at that time, Zhu Yunzhen succeeded in succession, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything afterwards. Zhu Yunxue's cronies are mainly big scholars like Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru. They have no military background, let alone the foundation of restraining each other with the Titan Lan Yu.
With Lanyu’s prestige in the army, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved of his military post while alive, it would still be difficult to guarantee that he, like Sima Yi, would change the situation with a clamor for a few years. Then what would Zhu Yunxuan do with him? Fight?
To get Zhu Yunzheng, Lan Yu's next target must be Zhu Di, and the two have been complaining for a long time.
Zhu Di’s performance was outstanding when the prince Zhu Biao was alive, and he was loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. He did not have no idea about the big position, but because of Zhu Biao’s stable position, he could only think about it in his heart.
Zhu Biao has a generous temperament, and he is only happy when his younger brother is successful, but Lan Yu has seen Zhu Di's ambition and reminded Zhu Biao to guard against Zhu Di several times.
One time, Lan Yu went from the north to the south, passing by Zhu Di's fief, and specially observed his behavior. When he came back, he said to Zhu Biao that King Yan is not an ordinary person. Zhu Biao said that Zhu Di had always respected him and could not rebel.
But Zhu Biao dared to believe Zhu Di, but Lan Yu couldn't believe it. He was not stupid and Baitian. He had been staring at King Yan's Mansion, and he was usually targeted. Zhu Di knew his attitude towards him, and the two sides were violent.
If Lan Yu can support Zhu Yunxue, the first person to deal with is Zhu Di. In his eyes, Zhu Di has been concealing evil intentions and is a big threat to centralization.
And Zhu Di can't sit still. The best time for him is not after Lan Yu and Zhu Yunqi decide the victory or defeat, but when Lan Yu has just started to fight Zhu Yunqi, he can participate in the battle under the slogan of "King of Qin", occupy the righteousness, and fish in the chaotic waters.
It can be seen that if Lan Yu is alive, when Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty regime changes after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, it is very likely that there will be turmoil around the ownership of the throne. Zhu Di not only dared to raise troops, but the time to raise troops may be advanced.
