Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, Lan Yu didn't seem to smell any crisis.

He became more unscrupulous.

In order to build up his relationship with the next group of possible national leaders, when he led his troops through Peiping (Beijing), he met a person.

The fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Di.

Lan Yu gave some of the materials he seized to Zhu Di, hoping to use bribes to bring the two parties closer and achieve political intimacy.

Sapphire's approach is essentially correct.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is old. Although he can still cook half a pot of rice in one meal, he is still far behind what he was before.

He will die sooner or later.

After Mr. Zhu dies, it will be time for his sons to take over.

Now is the best time to establish good cooperation opportunities with this group of ***.

But what Lan Yu didn't expect was that Zhu Di rejected his kindness.

The reason Zhu Di gave was: These seized materials should be handed over to the country. What do you mean by giving them to me now?

By accepting these things, am I not embezzling state funds?

Take it back and don't hurt me.

In fact, it is understandable for Zhu Di to do this.

As a son, Zhu Di understood Zhu Yuanzhang's temper deeply.

Zhu Di knows that there are countless informants planted by his father around him, and every move he makes will be reported to his father in real time. Faced with Lan Yu's almost rampant reckless behavior, his father will deal with him sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.

Question. Accepting Lan Yu’s things now is equivalent to forming a party with Lan Yu.

If Lan Yu falls one day, then he will have to suffer the same fate.

As for why dad doesn't take action now, he must have some ulterior secret.

So in order to avoid getting burned, it's better to have less to do with him.

Nowadays, these things are basically a bunch of hot potatoes, and even more so, they are an irregular target.

Maybe one day it explodes, and a bunch of idiots who are desperate for their lives will fly into the sky.

For the sake of your own life, it’s better to avoid getting involved in subtleties.

I have to say that Zhu Di's vision is indeed not simple.

Lan Yu had already seen his end before he fell.

However, Lan Yu, as the protagonist, does not understand Zhu Di's intentions, let alone Zhu Di's predicament.

He simply thought that Zhu Di didn't give him face.

I gave him face, but he had no shame.

In his opinion, Zhu Di's behavior was obviously an insult to him.

Deeply insult him.

He kept this insult in mind, parted ways with Zhu Di, and ordered the troops to move back to the DPRK.

Since we cannot be allies, we can only become enemies.

To put it bluntly, Lan Yu is a typical military genius and political idiot.

He did not understand the cruelty of political struggle.

What he does only follows his own thoughts.

Don't consider other people's positions at all.

This kind of person has a typical name.

wooden club.

When it comes to sticks and sticks, they only know how to fight, fight, and fight again.

All things that cannot be dealt with can be solved through fighting.

No way of dealing with it will be more practical than fighting. If the problem cannot be solved by fighting once, then fight two, three or even more times. In short, after beating you submissively, they will take it for granted that everything is settled.

This kind of person advocates violence.

They view violence as beauty.

While they advocate violence, they never consider the consequences.

In their way of thinking, they have always focused only on violence, without considering peace talks and consultations.

All conflicts are resolved through fighting.

Now, in order to beautify it, people have given this thing a beautiful name.

Aesthetics of violence.

But what they don't know is that there is a weapon more powerful than violence.

political means.

Political means can kill people invisible.

And violence only exposes one's weaknesses.

After moving his army back to the court, Lan Yu revealed the matter to Prince Zhu Biao (Zhu Biao was not dead at this time).

He said that King Yan Zhu Di was not an ordinary person. He had more power and talent, but he did not revolt because of his own interests. Although you have become the prince, Zhu Di and you are not of the same mind, and he will rebel sooner or later.

In addition, he also went around to win over heroes and officials to expand his network. (Pay attention to this, it will come in handy later!)

We will continue to analyze this approach of Sapphire.

First of all, from the actions of Lan Yu's fawning prince and Zhu Di, we can see that as a general, Lan Yu has no intention of rebelling, but still regards the Zhu family as royal orthodoxy.

This is easy to understand.

Because if he wanted to rebel, there was no need to curry favor with Zhu Yuanzhang's son.

This is completely unnecessary and unnecessary.

If he wants to rebel, the people he really needs to ingratiate himself with are the powerful generals, not the princes who have the inheritance relationship as princes.

Although Lan Yu is a pure political idiot, he will not and has never thought of conspiracy. This must be made clear.

On the surface, Lan Yu just wants to use the prince's hand to kill Zhu Di.

But Lan Yushao considered one important point.

Brotherhood.

Compared to Lan Yu, a pure outsider, Zhu Biao, who is relatively benevolent as the prince, still values ​​brotherhood more seriously.

So after sending Lan Yu away, Zhu Biao betrayed Lan Yu's snitching to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di couldn't sit still after hearing about this.

From my personal point of view, Zhu Di had no intention of directly offending Lan Yu. At least he had no intention of becoming a direct enemy of Lan Yu before Lan Yu made the report.

He just distanced himself from Lan Yu in terms of relationship and did not want to make the situation too tense.

But when he learned from his brother that Lan Yu was making snitches about him, he probably changed his mind.

The one near the water gets the moon first.

Lan Yu can report to her brother today and report to her father tomorrow.

And I was far away in Peiping, thousands of miles away from Nanjing, the central government at that time. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. Maybe my father would not suspect it once or twice, but as time went by, no one could guarantee whether my father would show up.

idea.

In order to avoid getting burned, Zhu Di was forced to play hard.

Being familiar with officialdom routines, he did not go to Lan Yu to argue. He knew that it would be useless to go to Lan Yu to argue. Apart from quarrels, the most they could do was to fight with each other. In the end, the enemy would be injured eight hundred and he would be injured a thousand, and no one would be able to take advantage of it.

Get the benefits.

You can only rely on others to deal with Lan Yu's trouble.

Borrow someone else's hand to kill him.

And who has the right to kill Lan Yu?

In this country, I'm afraid there is only one person who has this ability.

This person is Zhu Yuanzhang.

It happened that at this time Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Di to come back on errands.

So Zhu Di took advantage of his business trip to return to Beijing to file a complaint against his father.

What makes people laugh or cry is that the reason given by Zhu Di is basically the same as the content of Lan Yu's snitch. The only difference is that he changed the protagonist's name to Lan Yu.

He reminded Zhu Yuanzhang that Lan Yu had a large number of soldiers and was arrogant and domineering. If things continued like this, this guy might rebel.
To be continued...
