Chapter 102 Section 13 Lanyu Injustice Case

Of course, the Sapphire case is also an outright unjust case. First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang's "Rebellion Records", which is the collection of confessions in the Lanyu case, did not include Lanyu's own confession, which shows that Lanyu did not confess at all.Without the confession of the principal criminal, the authenticity of this confession is quite doubtful. Secondly, the planning process of the major treason case reflected in the confessions of other people in "Rebellious Officials" was like a child's play.Sapphire rebelled blatantly and did not avoid others.At the end of the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xie Xiong to Chengdu to call Lanyu back to Beijing.According to Xie Xiong's confession, on December 22, at the Liangguo mansion, the first thing Lan Yu said to him was to persuade the emperor's imperial envoy to rebel: "I know, it must be my relative Jing I have my name in the Ninghouhu party affairs, and I sent you to pick it up. To tell you the truth, I’m going home to see what’s going on now. If I have something to say, I’ll do something about it. Don’t vent your chances when you go back. , everyone can enjoy wealth and honor in peace.”

Then, on the way back to Beijing, I was in Sichuan at the end of the 25th year, in Wuchang on the first and second day of the first month of the 26th year, in Jiujiang on the third day, and in Anqing on the seventh day. Not to avoid suspicion, this is already staggering, but the "planning" activities after returning to the capital are even more staggering. Lan Yu arrived in Nanjing on the tenth day of the first month of the twenty-sixth year and was arrested on February 8th.According to the confession contained in "Rebellious Officials Records", in the past month, there have been thousands of people from Hou Ye, Du Ye, and commanders, down to thousands of households, general banners and small banners, and even servants, traffickers, and rogues. He used to travel to and from Liangguo's mansion, talking freely about rebellion.According to this confession, everyone in the capital knew about Lan Yu's rebellion.

Both Lan Yu and his subordinates have normal IQs. Rebellion is a desperate and risky matter. How could it be possible to make such a publicity under the eyes of the Xiongchai easy-to-kill emperor?What's more, most of the people Lan Yu consulted with were unreliable.For example, a man named Jiang Fu confessed that Lan Yu once invited him to a drink and said to him: "Old Jiang, you are my old man, I have something to tell you, I must leave now." News. Now that I am going to make a big deal, I have discussed it with all the leaders. After you go home, inquire about it. If you make a move, you will come to ask for a resolution, and you will be promoted in the future." Who is this "Old Jiang"?It's just that Lanyu's family is a fisherman.There is another Taoist named Zhang Rensun. He once went to see Lan Yu and heard Lan Yu tell him that if he wanted to accomplish a big event, he asked Zhang Rensun and others to prepare their own weapons and wait for their response.Who is this Zhang Rensun?Just a dyer in the village.

Obviously, "The Record of Adverse Officials" is just a cover that Zhu Yuanzhang hastily woven.
