Under Jin Yiwei's report, Lan Yu was quickly arrested.

From the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang never thought of handling this matter lightly.

Just like the Hu Weiyong case, from the very beginning he was prepared to make this matter bigger, involve as many people as he could, and then play it harder himself.

Kill everyone.

Even if he has to bear the reputation of a tyrant, he will not hesitate.

As long as you can create a stable political environment for your successor in the final stage of your life, then everything you do will be worthwhile.

He ordered people to interrogate Lan Yu strictly.

To be fair, Lan Yu's arrogance and violent rebelliousness are all well-founded, but there is no real evidence to say that he is rebelling.

As the initiator of political conspiracy, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood this.

But for the sake of the Zhu family, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had to do this, had to impose a crime on Lan Yu.

Crime of rebellion.

Only the crime of rebellion can become the most powerful weapon to massacre a large number of heroes.

If you want to impose a crime, why bother?

Not long after Lan Yu was thrown into the sky prison, a rather long list of rebels was quickly released.

This list, which seemed to have been compiled in advance, was quickly announced.

The list includes Marquis of Jingchuan, Cao Zhen, Marquis of Heshou, Zhang Yi, Marquis of Shunshuan, Zhu Shou, Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Bi, Dongguan Bo, He Rong and the Minister of Official Affairs, Zhan Hui, the Minister of Hubu, Fu Youwen...

The list is long and there are many people involved.

Among them are the Yi Gong (Lanyu himself), the Thirteenth Marquis, and the Second Uncle.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the initiator of the incident, did not seem satisfied with this list.

He feels that this political game can be played bigger.

So he ordered the Jin Yiwei to arrest all these people, and then interrogate these people severely.

For Jin Yiwei, this is really a good job to gain credit and establish a career.

These heroes usually stand very high and far away. They always look at people with side eyes and never look at them directly. They are the kind of people who can't even try to curry favor with them.

Now that I finally have a chance to take revenge, why don't I just die?

So they spared no effort to sap and punish these people.

As long as they can vent their dissatisfaction and torture out as many names as possible, they will greet you 24 hours a day.

These personnel are like a rope. As long as you follow this rope, you can pull out a group of people.

To be precise, the people who are most afraid at this time are not the heroes who have been arrested.

Those who are afraid should be those officials who are still in office and performing their duties.

Especially those officials who usually have a close relationship with Lan Yu, they should be afraid the most.

Because no one knows whether these guys who have been imprisoned will expose themselves.

People with good or bad relationships in the past, people who have borrowed money or failed to lend money, people who have had grudges or enmities, may all be drawn into Lan Yu's accomplices.

At this time, it can be said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were in danger.

This was like a huge knife, shrouding the hearts of Ming Dynasty officials.

He may jump to the sky at any time.

I have to say that the work efficiency of the Jinyiwei is still worthy of recognition and praise.

As Jin Yiwei continued to dig deeper, more than 15,000 people were involved in the Lan Yu case.

It seems unimaginable to us now that more than 15,000 officials were implicated.

It is impossible for so many people to be Lan Yu's party members.

But with Zhu Yuanzhang, nothing is impossible.

In his old man's thinking, everything is possible.

In order to expose Lan Yu's crimes, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to compile the names of more than 15,000 people into a book.

"Records of Rebellious Ministers".

Then it was all revealed.

As for this number, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the mastermind behind the scenes, seems to be satisfied.

These personnel are enough for him to achieve his political goals.

So he ordered the soldiers to arrest all these people and bring them to justice.

For officials, it seems that they still place their hope in the ideal concept of impunity.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's actual actions told them.

He is never ambiguous when it comes to killing people.

No matter who he is, he shows no mercy.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, these more than 15,000 people, together with Lan Yu's three tribes, were all executed.

Leave no one behind.

As the protagonist, Lan Yu would never have imagined that a few years ago, he was an outstanding general who commanded tens of thousands of troops. At that time, he could kill people so much that his enemies would be bloodied on the spot.

But time has passed, and one day he will step into the footsteps of these enemies and become another continuation of their death.

What's so funny is that when the enemy dies under one's own sword, one smiles proudly, but when one dies under one's own hands, it is so tragic.

From a human perspective, he is more defeated than his enemies.

If a man dies, he will die, so there is nothing to fear.

But having to bear a lifetime of infamy, I will never be able to stand up again, and I will not be willing to die!

This is the true sadness of Sapphire.

As long as a person lives, so will the vegetation.

For Lan Yu, his goal of establishing a successful career was achieved, but at the same time, his reputation also fell to the bottom.

My life is like making a wedding dress for others.

This is really not worth it.

After the Lan Yu case was handled, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give up.

He fixed his eyes on several other people.

One is Ying Guogong and Fu Youde.

The other one is Song Guogong, Feng Sheng.

For these two first-generation founding heroes, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let them go.

In 1394 AD, Fu Youde was sentenced to death!

In 1395 AD, Feng Sheng was sentenced to death.

Since then, all the heroes and generals have been basically eradicated!

At the end of the handling of the Lan Yu case, Zhu Yuanzhang sentenced the two to death respectively.

The reward is death.

I won't kill you.

You commit suicide!

Damn it, every time I see this word, I can't help but get chills on my back and goosebumps all over my body.

In the eyes of our descendants, rewards are something that should be celebrated, something worthy of being written about and boasted about.

But when it comes to the death penalty, I can't be happy at all.

No reward is given to the good ones.

Give death.

Death, do I still need your reward?

This is really one of the great sorrows of life!

After everyone was eradicated, the Lan Yu case was completely over.

Before ending I would like to express my personal views.

I personally think that before the death of Prince Zhu Biao, as the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the idea of ​​​​completely eliminating the heroes. Even before the Lan Yu case, Zhu Yuanzhang did personally establish three major cases, and there were deep-seated

political purpose.

For example, in the Hu Weiyong case, he wanted to abolish the prime minister!
