"His Majesty did kill many people in the Kongyin case and the Hu Weiyong case, but those were the ones who deserved to be killed!"
"We are not corrupt and perverting the law, and we are not collaborating with the enemy and treason. Why does Your Majesty want to kill us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang returned with a sneer.
Zhu Ying calculated the time and found that it should be the fifteenth year of Hongwu. Two of the four major Hongwu cases had already occurred, namely the Kongyin case and the Hu Weiyong case.
The remaining Guo Huan and Lan Yu cases have not yet occurred.
But to be honest, those people killed by Zhu Yuanzhang were indeed deserving of corruption and perversion of the law.
Therefore, it is obvious that no one would believe it now that Zhu Yuanzhang was murderous.
"Yes, your Majesty killed all civilian officials. What does it have to do with our military attachés?"
Lan Yu was the same, with a face full of disbelief.
The people killed in these two major cases were all civilian officials, so as a military attache, Lan Yu was smiling happily now.
Besides, Lan Yu accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to fight for the world, and even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife would be aimed at old friends like them.
A look of disdain appeared on Zhu Ying's face, these people are simply too childish.
"It's superficial again, isn't it?"
"Let's give you an example. If the prince dies young, who will inherit the Ming Dynasty's throne?"
Zhu Ying asked with a faint smile.
"Isn't this nonsense? The prince died young, so naturally the throne should be inherited by the emperor's grandson!"
Lan Yu blurted out without thinking.
Zhu Yunwen is just five years old now. If we really want to talk about seniority, he still has to call Lan Yu uncle.
Even if the prince died young and Zhu Yunwen inherited the throne, Lan Yu would still be a relative of the emperor.
How could Your Majesty kill him, Lan Yu?
"Very good!" Zhu Ying said with a smile: "It has only been a mere ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. You generals were all killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Naturally, you are indifferent to life and death. If you don't accept it, you will do it."
"If I want to conquer people like you, there is only one way, and that is to defeat violence with violence and be more violent than you!"
"The prince has also fought with his majesty through the country. He has made numerous military exploits, and his reputation in court and among the people is not to mention."
"Look at the grandson of the emperor. He is only five years old at this time. Not to mention his military exploits, he has never even left the palace gate."
"Besides the title of Crown Prince, what else can you get?"
"A little kid suddenly becomes an emperor. Who can he suppress among those generals who have been through life and death? Who will believe him?"
Lan Yu disagreed with this and immediately retorted: "So what? We are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Is it possible that there are still people who want to rebel?"
"Are you superficial again?"
Zhu Ying sneered: "I think back then, Zhao Kuangyin said the same thing, but what was the result?"
"this......"
When Zhu Ying mentioned Zhao Kuangyin, not only Lan Yu was speechless, but also Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang were stunned.
Zhu Yuanzhang is now in his fifties, but his body is still strong. If nothing goes wrong, when Zhu Yunwen succeeds to the throne more than ten years later, the old guys who follow him will basically be sick and die.
The rest are either the juniors or the newcomers.
This group of people also has no prestige.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen did not need much prestige. With his royal bloodline, he was enough to suppress him.
But Zhu Ying's words made Zhu Yuanzhang have to think again.
Once it is true as he said, it will indeed be a difficult problem.
Although what Lan Yu said was true and no one would rebel, as the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang had to be careful.
"It's unlikely..."
"Your Majesty, he..."
By this time, Lan Yu finally panicked.
"Not too possible?"
"In today's Ming Dynasty, the throne that symbolizes the supreme imperial power is already full of barbs!"
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
"The prince is not afraid, but what about the emperor's grandson?"
"Not only can he not be able to remove those barbs, but he will actually hurt himself!"
"If you don't want to hurt him, the only way is to pull out those thorns before he sits on it!"
"Otherwise the Ming Dynasty will last for thousands of generations?"
Zhu Ying returned calmly.
The more Lan Yu listened, the more panicked she became, and she was already dripping with cold sweat.
Once the prince dies young, Zhu Ying's words will become reality.
Lan Yu knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character better than anyone else. Not to mention Lan Yu, even Li Shanchang, Tang He and others would not be able to have a good death.
Besides, this kind of thing is not unprecedented in history. After Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne, didn't he kill all the heroes who had been with him through life and death?
"What should I do?"
Seeing Lan Yu's panic, Zhu Ying joked: "Aren't you very good at fighting?"
"Spanking is useless!"
"When you come out to hang out, you have to talk about your background and power!"
"Besides, I didn't tell you that you, an official, deserve to be so afraid?"
Zhu Ying patted Lan Yu's shoulder. Lan Yu was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.
Lan Yu's temperament was arrogant and domineering, and relying on his great military exploits, he offended countless people in the court.
Once Zhu Ying's words come true, he, Lan Yu, may be the first to suffer.
This is indeed true in history. When Zhu Yuanzhang eradicated the nobles, the first one he caught was Lan Yu.
"It's not that I'm being alarmist. There's no need to worry about Lao Yu being a sesame official, but I wish you the best, just think about it!"
Zhu Ying turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
If the current emperor was not Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yingda could stay in the Ming Dynasty, but if he wanted to achieve a career at this time, he could only choose to go to Nanyang and repair those Oubaluo and those little Japanese.
"Is what you said true?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with furrowed brows.
"Of course it's true!" Zhu Ying returned seriously.
Tens of thousands of people were killed in the Lan Yu case, and all of them were military generals.
Even one of the Dukes was beheaded, more than a dozen marquis were beheaded, and there were also many earls.
Zhu Biao died young, causing Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and other nobles to escape. They were all killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The few people who were lucky enough to survive were basically unable to make any splash, and Zhu Yuanzhang stayed behind to serve as a gatekeeper for Zhu Yunwen.
"In this world, we can only share hardships, but not joys?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed.
Now Zhu Biao is still fine, Empress Ma is still here, and Zhu Yuanzhang has not turned dark yet.
He treats these old guys who have followed him through life and death fairly well.
But he had to think about what Zhu Ying said.
"Of course it is possible, but it requires a little wisdom..."
"This method is simple to say, that is, to prevent the prince from getting into trouble!"
"As long as nothing happens to the prince, everything will be solved naturally!"
Zhu Ying said with a faint smile.
"That's right!"
"As long as nothing happens to the prince, won't all problems be solved?"
When Zhu Ying finished speaking, Lan Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
