Chapter 590 The Case of Lan Yu
Regardless of how "uncle and nephew are kind and filial" in the various Hongwu eras of the Ming Dynasty, the live broadcast continues.
"After listening to the God of War's joyous song, let's continue. After dealing with the five uncles, Zhu Yunwen prepared to make a move on Prince Yan, Judy. His operation of going from weak to strong did not develop as he had planned. Instead, it made the powerful prince more vigilant."
"First of all, the uncle and nephew were not on the same level. How could a prince compare to the central government? That's why Zhu Di initially raised an army of only eight hundred men."
"But Zhu Yunwen controlled the entire army of the court. Ironically, the advantage lay with his Jianwen Emperor. Even when things were going well, he couldn't hold on. This was largely thanks to the 'talented people' around him."
The crowd: ??? How could they win like that!
"If it weren't for the results, Huang Zicheng and his group would easily have been mistaken for people who were trying to sabotage Jianwen. Qi Tai and the others might have some skill, but Huang Zicheng and Li Jinglong are truly brilliant!"
Duke Li Wenzhong of Cao: ...I think he's itching for a beating again!
In the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin exclaimed in surprise that there were only 800. Indeed, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty did not have much power, no wonder he rebelled.
They've already come this far, whether they rebel or not, the outcome will be the same. This shows that Zhu Yunwen has played a winning hand terribly!
Li Shimin replied, “The young emperor is far less experienced than his uncle. He has never left the palace or been to the north. How can he judge the military situation? Moreover, he has mistakenly trusted Huang Zicheng. He is truly incomparable.”
Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement, then said, "However, I am still curious, how did Jianwen lose with such a large numerical disadvantage? Was there a lack of military talent during Jianwen's reign in the Ming Dynasty?"
It's not the Song Dynasty, where civil officials were valued more than military ones, and everyone silently complained.
"But there is one thing to note in advance: in the 26th year of Hongwu, the Lan Yu case, one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, occurred, involving more than 15,000 people."
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: My goodness, now I understand why Zhu Yuanzhang's officials are so trembling with fear, they're too irritable!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: When it comes to ruthlessness, Old Zhu is no less ruthless! The four major cases... that means there are three more left!?
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Eighth Prince of the Ming Dynasty: "......"
"Lan Yu, a military officer, repeatedly rendered meritorious service to Zhu Yuanzhang and was even awarded a certificate of merit."
"But these things were issued to all the founding generals and meritorious officials. Old Zhu was like a wholesaler; it's said he issued more than thirty of them. Anyone who takes that many is doomed. Besides taking up some space, they have no life-saving function whatsoever!"
"Just listen to what Old Zhu says. He's not like Qin Shi Huang or Li Shimin, who didn't kill meritorious officials. The results show that Old Zhu has the final say. If he wants to send you down, even the Heavenly King himself can't do anything about it!"
The Ming Dynasty emperor and his ministers: "..."
The First Emperor, the First Dragon; nominally a certificate of merit, but in reality a death warrant!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: Why not change it to Old Zhu's Death warrant!
Zhu Bajie of the Ming Dynasty: You guys...@!&*....
General Judy, the Conqueror of the North: Who says the imperial edict can't be used? The Qian family used it, back in your Tang Dynasty! Even our father accepted it!!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: Oh! I understand! It means that those from the previous dynasties can be forgiven, but those from the current dynasty must still be killed!
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: You son of a bitch....@%&!..
......
"Of course, some people aren't entirely innocent either. Getting back to the point, Lan Yu, he's become arrogant because of his high achievements."
"They appointed him Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, and this guy's question is, why not Grand Preceptor to the Crown Prince? And there are other, even more outrageous things."
"However, at this time, because Lan Yu was the maternal uncle of the former Crown Princess Chang and was close to Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Old Zhu did not touch him."
"However, with Zhu Biao's unexpected death, the old Zhu's plans were completely disrupted. The team he had originally cultivated for the crown prince could no longer be used. Lan Yu was out of the question, so he accepted Zhu Yunwen, the son of the Lü family who had been promoted to the position of empress."
"Zhu Yunwen was young, and the old Zhu probably thought he couldn't control the already somewhat arrogant military generals like Lan Yu, plus Lan Yu did indeed have the potential to rebel."
"So in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu's entire family, along with those implicated, were sent away. Perhaps before leaving, they wanted to eliminate potential threats and leave Zhu Yunwen a prosperous and peaceful empire!"
"But things are unpredictable. Emperor Jianwen was not Zhu Biao, nor did he have the experience of fighting on the battlefield like many of his uncles. The team that Zhu Biao had personally built for him could not stop him from making a foolish mistake, and instead allowed Judy to invade Yingtian."
