The Golden Palace whispered for a while, and the person said, "Do you know, Zhang Shicheng was arrested by General Zhongyong last night?"

Another said: "Isn't that true? I heard that Zhang Shicheng is miserable, so I don't know how to deal with him?"

"What else can you do if you succeed and lose the enemy? It's just imprisonment, kill it?" A low voice spread across the Golden Palace.

Just as everyone was whispering, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said, "Master, what is Zhang Shicheng right now?" Everyone can see the concern on his face.

Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at each other. He heard that this tone didn’t seem to punish Zhang Shicheng?

Li Shanchang shook his head and sighed, "Last night, after Zhang Shicheng was taken back to Jinling by General Xiao, Weichen asked someone to serve him with delicious food and drink, but Zhang Shicheng was very stubborn and had no food or drink all night?"

"Oh, why should Brother Zhang do this? Isn't Gu Wang an unreasonable person? Is Gu Wang even appoint him as the King of Free Law? He-?" He sighed again.

Everyone was even more stunned. Zhang Shicheng was so guilty that his highness kept not punishing him and he wanted to be the King of Xiaoyao. What's going on?"

Some officials were confused and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was above him with incredible expressions.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a sneer and said to the civil and military officials: "Zhang Shicheng raised the banner with eighteen shoulder poles back then, and has done a lot of good things in Suzhou over the years. Now, although he has been defeated by the Gu Wang, the Gu Wang still admires his character and hopes that he can surrender to my Jinling City. Gu Wang will not be grudges and return him to Hangzhou and Suzhou, and let him be the King of Freedom?"

"Your Highness is indeed kind and righteous, really kind and righteous?" Many people in the hall began to exclaim, and there were many bureaucrats who were moved.

Liu Bowen narrowed his eyes and looked at the viciousness in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashing through his eyes. Although it was fleeting in the blink of an eye, it was falling into his eyes. He was shocked and then sighed sadly: "The King of Wu is getting more and more clever. Since he wants to kill Zhang Shicheng, he doesn't want to lose his reputation as a murderer, so he wants to use the mouths of everyone to feel his benevolence and righteousness? Is Zhang Shicheng dead?"

"I just didn't expect Zhang Shicheng to be so immoral?" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and sighed, and the regretful expression on his face was clearly visible.

"Zhang Shicheng has repeatedly blocked His Highness from unifying Hongyuan, Jiangnan. Now he has been destroyed by our army. Your Majesty has not killed him and has also appointed him as the King of Xiaoyao. No one can do this kind of benevolence and righteousness in ancient times. Zhang Shicheng is ungrateful. That is why he is seeking death. Your Highness can punish him? "The person who spoke with his surname Fei, his name is Ziying, and his courtesy name is Ziying. He is from Wuhe Feifu (now Wuhe, Anhui). He followed Zhu Yuanzhang in Haozhou. At that time, there were militias in Zhangjiabao in Dingyuan. Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to recruit surrenders and left Fei Ju waiting for the order. The general of his castle was preparing to surrender to others. Fei reported it after the party. Zhu Yuanzhang then sent 300 people to capture his commander alive and recruit 3,000 soldiers. Fei Ju then recruited 800 militias in Huobishan. After that, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to capture Lingbi, Sizhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou and other places and was promoted to Chengxin Captain.

This time, he followed Geng Bingwen and made many contributions to resist Zhang Shicheng's attack. Zhu Yuanzhang named him in the Golden Palace. At this time, he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhang Shicheng to be the King of Xiaoyao. This guy was very reluctant. He didn't care about the fact that all the civil and military officials were there, and he spoke with courage. His voice was loud. Hundreds of people in the Golden Palace could hear clearly and nodded in response.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

At this time, another person came out of the crowd, clasped his fists at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "Your Highness, I think what General Fei said makes sense. Your Highness has done his best to Zhang Shicheng. If you indulge Zhang Shicheng too much, will you be afraid that the soldiers will be heartless?" This time he spoke was Liu Bowen.

"What do you mean by sir? Can't the Gu King let Zhang Shicheng be the King of Freedom?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was calm, and although his tone was a little impatient, he had no anger at all.

Liu Bowen could see Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts naturally and nodded, "Your Highness the King of Wu is a benevolent king for all ages. Benevolence and righteousness are the right ones, but you should not forget that this time when our Jinling soldiers attacked Pingjiang City, they died in Pingjiang for tens of thousands of people. If your Highness easily rewarded Zhang Shicheng as King Xiaoyao, those soldiers who died in battle, those Jinling people who lost their husbands, brothers, and fathers, would they agree? Wouldn't your Highness do this to make them feel cold?"

"What the military advisor said is very much. Zhang Shicheng is now a rebel. No matter how kind and righteous your highness is, he must punish his crimes and blame him. He informed the world and gave an explanation to the dead soldiers. "The speaker Ye Dui, his grandfather Ye Pei, was a Jinshi of Xianchun, the Southern Song Dynasty. He was well-versed in classics and history, and was particularly keen on astronomy and geography. His father Ye Dexiang was knowledgeable and talented, and was good at sermons. He retired at home due to the demise of the Song Dynasty and taught a group of children from the village. He was educated by his grandfather Ye Pei at a young age, and was well-versed in classics and history, and was particularly keen on astronomy and geography. He was not happy to go to the office and taught his children from the village at home.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was respecting the wise and the nobles, Liu Ji, Song Lian and others used it. He highly praised Ye Dui's talent and ordered people to give him a seat and drink, and tried his best to keep him, hoping that Ye Dui could become his right-hand man and share his glory in the future.

Ye Dui also saw that even though Fang Guozhen occupied eastern Zhejiang, it was not enough to accomplish great things. He went to Jinling and visited Zhu Yuanzhang in the military and presented the "One Ordinance of Martial Affairs" between the army and horses, and stated the strategy of taking the world in the order of the world. Zhu Yuanzhang admired it very much, and held people's lives and gave food. If he wanted to keep it, he politely declined, "If you can adopt the strategy, you can make the people happy early, and you will be full of your wishes. It is not your wish!" Zhu Yuanzhang returned with great gifts. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to attack Suzhou but did not succeed, so he specially invited Ye Dui to come.

This guy was not polite, and he offered the "City Lock" method as soon as he came, and then he worked. At this time, after hearing Liu Bowen's words, he felt deeply in agreement and took the courage to agree.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and said, "Sir, do you have to do this?"

Liu Bowen looked serious and nodded, "This is necessary. Zhang Shicheng has been entrenched in Suzhou for many years. The battle of Pingjiang has caused countless soldiers in Jinling to be killed or injured. If he does not punish his crime, how can he return the soldiers who died in Jinling to justice? How should His Highness face those families who died in battle? Since ancient times, kings and defeated bandits. If His Highness is defeated today, would Zhang Shicheng be as kind as His Highness?"

After Liu Bowen said this, coupled with Ye Dui's agreement, many people began to demand that Zhang Shicheng be punished.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked unpredictable, and he could not see any strangeness. He still squinted his eyes and glanced at the ministers. After watching for a long time, he didn't say anything.

Everyone did not know Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts and did not dare to speak without authorization. The Golden Palace became quiet for a moment.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold and looked at Li Shanchang and said, "What do you think of the Prime Minister?"
