In the late Ming Dynasty, a complete human skin was found, and it turned out to be that of the founding general Lan Yu. Why did he end up like this?

Because he was too high-profile and did not know how to restrain himself, he stepped into Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line, which eventually led to his own death. Lan Yu was the founding general of the Ming Dynasty. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang in his southern and northern campaigns very early on, helping him expand his territory and fight for the throne. It can be said that he was brave, resourceful, and daring, and made great military exploits.

However, although Lan Yu is very talented in military affairs, he is not very good at life. His emotional intelligence is too low, and he acts recklessly based on his military exploits, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang dislike him even more. The first thing was that during a battle in Beiyuan, on the way to victory and triumph, Lan Yu was so arrogant that he raped a beautiful concubine of Beiyuan. This concubine had a strong character. After being raped, she was so humiliated that she committed suicide.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he found out. The Ming Dynasty had already stipulated that humiliating prisoners of the defeated countries was not allowed, but Lan Yu relied on his status to knowingly commit the crime. However, Zhu Yuanzhang considered that Lan Yu had indeed made great achievements in battle, and did not Just because of what a woman did to him, he didn't pursue it further. Lan Yu thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was partial to him, and his words and deeds became even more rampant after that.

The second thing is that Lan Yu led the soldiers back to the city one night. The city gate had been closed for a long time. Lan Yu led the soldiers to break in without saying a word, and looked at the terrified looks of the guards guarding the city. He is smug and extremely arrogant. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and changed the title of Duke Lan Yuliang to Duke of Liang, implying that he would be Liangliang if he didn't restrain himself.

However, Lan Yu still didn't take it seriously, and even began to install his cronies in the court and the army, and began to offer and accept bribes. All of this was seen by Zhu Yuanzhang. Soon, someone revealed that Lan Yu had rebelled and committed the crime of treason. Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to take Lan Yu into custody, tortured him severely, and finally sentenced him to skinning for treason. He wanted to keep his whole body for the sake of some relatives. .

It’s hard to say whether Lan Yu has committed the crime of treason. It is very likely that he has no thoughts of treason. However, he is too public and high-profile in his life and secretly cultivates his own power. This It can't be justified, so in the end it's not unjust if he commits suicide.
