To appease and buy the hearts of northern chinese after executing 15,000 of them earlier in another case - for nothing too except to consolidate his power.
 
102 So why did Ming emperor execute Hokkien TOP scholar and 20 SOUTHERN CHINESE examiners FOR NOTHING?
 
The Ming emperor knew that the wide disparity in the results between north south Chinese scholars were due to his own doing of destroying the northern economy and killing many northern Chinese elites in the Lan Yu massacre case. The Founding General Lan Yu and his subordinates were mostly northerners. So the Ming emperor had to appease and buy the hearts of the rest of northern Chinese to prevent revolt by northern Chinese when they protested on the so called unfair results of TOP scholars being all southerners when it was based on meritocracy and nothing unfair about it. The poor southern Chinese examiners and Hokkien TOP scholar became the unfortunate sacrificial lambs.
 
Chinese like that one. After getting help from the general to the throne, the helper general is now considered a threat.
Same as in companies. The bright guy is a threat to the manager although bright guy can be a asset to the company.
 
To consolidate his central power, the Ming emperor used the pretext of General Lan Yu wanted to revolt against him to massacre Lan Yu and 15,000 others. Lan Yu was one of the founding generals that helped Ming emperor to set up Ming dynasty.


did Lan Yu's sons - Lan Jiao and Lan Sai do anything in revenge ?

No not just chinese like that. LJ Mccully was chap cheng or whatever - anyway non chinese - also like that. After I cleared all the shit for the company, I am considered useless to him and fired for nothing.

Ya any manager that cleared shit is in the same league as founding general indeed.

And Hakka doggie @eatshitndie i already provided the cause and proof of wide disparity in standard between northern and southern Chinese. You are a shameless Hakka thief liar slanderer of good unfortunate Hokkiens in all aspects through and through.
