Chapter 13

Yao Guangxiao knew that if King Yan was not allowed to kill Lan Yu, King Yan would definitely be unable to sleep or eat, and in the end he might not be able to do it himself. No matter which situation was, it would be unfavorable to King Yan. In the end, he had no choice but to find a way to help King Yan get rid of Lan Yu.

"Your Highness, if you believe in the empress, leave this matter to me..."

"Military advisor, how confident are you?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I'll first look at this as the best way to do it without anyone noticing."

"Then I'll trouble the military advisor."

Yao Guangxiao was not only wise and brave, but also had extremely powerful martial arts. This is why the King of Yan was relieved to hand over this task to him. However, he did not know that Yao Guangxiao's action this time caused the biggest tragedy, and in the end he even involved tens of thousands of people being killed.

"Brother, why are you so easy to invite us to drink?"

"Brothers, it's rare to get together today. Brother, why can't I drink well with everyone for a night?"

"That's right! I'll be alone without getting drunk!"

Lan Yu's brothers didn't know the right way to drink, and finally dared to say anything. They started talking about Lan Yu's head Sima Quan. This could be said to have violated the taboo, but Lan Yu didn't think so and even took advantage of her drunkenness to say everything in her heart.

"Ma Quan, what is he? If it weren't for the nepotism, could he have been to the doctor of Guanglu?"

"Brother, whisper..."

"Zhang Yi, I'm talking about things, what are you afraid of..."

"Brother, I'm afraid there are ears in the wall..."

Lan Yu said angrily: "Brother Zhang Yi, do you believe it or not, I dare to say this in front of the old man Ma Quan."

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, otherwise the disaster will come from the mouth..."

"Zhang Yi, don't be suspicious, here are just a few of us brothers."

"Cao Zhen, right, I just drank and had fun here, and I didn't discuss anything that was not necessarily human."

Zhang Yi had no choice but to give up, but as he expected, Lan Yu was indeed in trouble. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he learned about this, but this was not the worst thing. It turned out that there was another person present in the eavesdropping nearby, besides the spy sent by Zhu Yuanzhang. This person was actually Yao Guangxiao, and his martial arts were better than the spy sent by Zhu Yuanzhang. He even followed him without knowing it. Until the spy returned to the palace to report Yao Guangxiao, he did not follow him.

"Military advisor, have you thought of a solution to Lan Yu?"

"Your Highness, you guessed right..."

"What the hell is this?"

"Borrow a knife and kill someone!"

Yao Guangxiao actually used a knife to kill someone and said that he was taking Zhu Yuanzhang's knife to kill Lan Yu. The King of Yan didn't believe it very much. This was simply impossible.

"Impossible! How could the father kill General Lan Yu?"

"Your Highness, there is nothing impossible in this world. Zhu Wenzheng was the last example."

Yao Guangxiao did not hesitate to bring out Zhu Yuanzhang's dark history. Zhu Wenzheng was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. He led the way for Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer Zhu Yuanzhang. However, in the end, he falsely accused Zhu Wenzheng of colluding with the enemy because he threatened Zhu Yuanzhang's status. This also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang was a cruel person, and for his interests, he could completely ignore his relatives and relatives.

"Military advisor, what do we do next?"

"Your Highness, King Yan, let's not do anything next, just wait for His Majesty to take action..."

"This..." King Yan really didn't believe Yao Guangxiao's words, but it didn't take long before Yao Guangxiao said his reasons.

"Your Highness King Yan, our actions now will only cause trouble. If Your Highness King Yan wants to completely kill Lan Yu, then you just need to stop Zhu Yunwen from pleading for Lan Yu."

All this was indeed as Yao Guangxiao said. Three months later, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Jiang Ban, accused Lan Yu of rebellion and nearly 10,000 weapons in Lan Yu's mansion. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered the arrest of Lan Yu and summoned all the ministers to try Lan Yu together in the court.

"Your Majesty, I'm wronged."

"Lan Yu, you said you were wronged, so what did you explain the ten thousand weapons in your mansion?"

"This is what I plan to offer to His Majesty."

"Lan Yu, you dare to argue! According to the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, it must be filed for more than a hundred. As a general, you don't know such a shallow truth." Zhan Wei, the Minister of History, said fiercely.

"I'm telling the truth, I still have someone to testify."

General Lan Yu built these weapons to please Zhu Yuanzhang, but he did not have this to prove that Zhu Yuanzhang killed him. Lan Yu told all the insiders to prove his innocence, but he never expected to drag all these people into the water.

At this time, Zhan Wei shouted loudly and said, "Lan Yu, you'd better tell the truth and call out your accomplices."

Lan Yu laughed and said: You are my accomplice."

“This is simply nonsense.”

When Lan Yu saw Zhan Wei's arrogant look, he actually said that he was his accomplice, but no one expected that Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Zhan Wei to be taken down and imprisoned. In the end, Zhan Wei became Lan Yu's accomplice.

"Your Majesty, I'm wronged. I'm definitely not Lan Yu's accomplice."

"If you take it down, I will find out whether it is Lan Yu's accomplice."

Everyone was very surprised why Zhu Yuanzhang actually sent Zhan Wei to prison with Lan Yu's one-sided remarks. It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get rid of Zhan Wei early in the morning, but he never found an excuse. This time, he used the opportunity to borrow Lan Yu's case to get rid of Zhan Wei. It turned out that Zhan Wei had a great relationship with the death of the prince Zhu Biao. At that time, he assisted the prince Zhu Biao in trial and opposed the prince everywhere, which eventually led to the prince's anger and fell ill. Although Zhan Wei did not kill Zhu Biao with his own hands, he could not escape Zhu Biao's death, which eventually led to his death.

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Lan Yu to be executed and the Lan Yu family was executed. However, the matter did not end because of Lan Yu's death. According to the Jinyiwei's search for many letters in Lan Yu's house, Zhu Yuanzhang found that Lan Yu had many dissatisfaction with his rule, and even discussed this matter with some of his old subordinates. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Lan Yu did have the intention of rebellion. The first thing he was to bear was the people who had letters with Lan Yu. Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to let go, and sent them all to prison, and conducted a surprise trial on these people. In the entire trial process, those people kept offering others to protect themselves, regardless of whether it was related to this case, and eventually turned into a false accusation. However, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that most of those people were wronged, but he was just the one who was disliked, and he could not help but kill them.
