Then, when the story of the Prince of Dai being imprisoned and dying, and the Prince of Min being convicted and killed on trumped-up charges, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer sit still.
These are all his own flesh and blood. And what is this fabricated charge? There have been others who have been convicted of this crime before. That person was Yue Fei, and the person who convicted him was Qin Hui.
