"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Cunyi, who followed closely behind, looked at his brother. Seeing his ugly face, he couldn't help asking curiously. Li Cunyi's name is Bingzhong, a native of Dingyuan, Haozhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty (now Dingyuan County, Anhui Province). His father was Li Xu, the governor of Dingyuan County, Li Shanchang, and was the younger brother of Li Shanchang. After occupying Jinling with Zhu Yuanzhang, he joined Zhu Yuanzhang. He was smart and alert, and made many outstanding achievements. He was happy by Zhu Yuanzhang. This time he was ordered to follow his brother to persuade Zhang Shicheng.

"Cunyi, do you think the King of Wu really wants to leave Zhang Shicheng to be the King of Xiaoyao?" Li Shanchang did not shy away from his younger brother and expressed his doubts.

Before Li Cunyi could speak, he heard a voice saying, "It's impossible?"

Li Shanchang and Li Cunyi turned around and brought Hu Weiyong, who was dressed in Taichang Shaoqing's official uniform. Since Hu Weiyong defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, he has served as the marshal's office as the chief clerk of Ningguo, magistrate of the county, Ji'an, Huguang assistant minister, Taichang Shaoqing, Taichang's young master, Taichang's young master, etc. He has quite some political achievements. In the first year of Wu, after Li Shanchang's repeated recommendations, he was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang as Taichang's young master and entered the temple's minister, and was very grateful to Li Shanchang.

Seeing that he was smart, Li Shanchang asked Li Cunyi to take him with him. At this time, he was stunned when he heard him talking like this and said, "How do you say this?"

Hu Weiyong thought for a while and said, "Don't the Prime Minister know your highness yet? Your Highness is cautious. Today, it is so difficult to do this to be the King of Xiaoyao for Zhang Shicheng. It is definitely not simply to be the King of Xiaoyao for Zhang Shicheng. If so, Zhang Shicheng sent an envoy to ask for peace, why didn't your Highness agree?"

Li Shanchang said "Hmm" and nodded, saying, "Weiyong's words are reasonable. Your Highness is very talented and stubborn. Especially in recent years, whether it is means, impatient, forbearance, or vision, they are becoming more and more mature. She has her intention to do anything. Zhang Shicheng has always been his biggest concern. With his personality, he will never let Zhang Shicheng stay like a tiger by his side. And Your Highness does this, which shows that Your Highness is not to gain a reputation, or just benevolence? All his actions are of great significance? What is it for?"

Hu Weiyong's eyes flashed, he glanced around for a few times, and saw that there was no one around, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "From the official, does Your Highness do this with only two profound meanings?"

Li Shanchang's heart thumped and glanced at Hu Weiyong. He had always known that Hu Weiyong was talented and had outstanding literary talent. What was even more powerful was that he could understand people's hearts, which was even more amazing. He heard him speak like this, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Those two deep meanings?"

Hu Weiyong has always been favored by Li Shanchang, and Hu Weiyong is not shy about him. He was originally a good friend of Li Cunyi, but now he has a more relationship. Li Cunyi's nephew Li You is Hu Weiyong's niece, so there is no need to shy about him.

Hu Weiyong had a moment of brewing and said, "First, that's true as Your Highness said. He felt complacent about Zhang Shicheng and could not bear to kill him. Is it true benevolence and righteousness?"

Li Shanchang, Li Cunyi, and Hu Weiyong looked at each other, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief. If Zhu Yuanzhang was really so kind, he would not believe it even if he killed Li Shanchang. Although the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Han Lin'er, was done by Liao Yongzhong, a discerning person could tell that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's instructing him. He could instruct others to kill someone who was useless and threatened him, let alone Zhang Shicheng, the hero who was injured in the tiger?"

"What about the second deep meaning?" Li Shanchang didn't believe in Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness, but he didn't say it out loud and asked directly.

Hu Weiyong glanced at him and then lowered his voice and said, "Second, if the lower official guesses well, then your highness has done everything. Everything in the morning court today is just for the world to see. In fact, Zhang Shicheng can't be the King of Xiaoyao at all?"

Li Shanchang was slightly stunned. He had already guessed the answer in his heart. However, after following Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, he had feelings for this young man who was polite and eager to seek talents. He was not willing to collapse his image in his mind. After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

"You mean that all your highness did was just to confuse the world. The real method was to make Zhang Shicheng-?" Li Cunyi slid his left hand slightly in front of the two, and made a downward movement.

Hu Weiyong nodded, but stopped talking.

Li Cunyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Hu is so bold. However, since Your Highness has made preparations, why should I ask my elder brother to persuade Zhang Shicheng? Isn't this an unnecessary move?"

Hu Weiyong's eyes turned slightly, glanced at Li Shanchang aside with a little deep meaning, and said, "If this were not the case, how could the mercy of His Highness the King of Wu be reflected? In my opinion, His Highness did not expect the Prime Minister to persuade Zhang Shicheng at all. His Highness did this just to tell Zhang Shicheng that he is the one who dominates Zhang Shicheng's life?"

Li Cunyi was stunned and then looked at Li Shanchang with an unbelievable look: "Is this Your Highness too powerful?"

Li Shanchang was not saying much. In fact, he knew what Hu Weiyong said. Since Zhu Yuanzhang called him, he naturally did not dare to neglect him. Regardless of whether Zhang Shicheng agreed to surrender or not, he would come, because this order was said by the King of Wu in front of all civil and military officials, which was equivalent to admitting that Li Shanchang was the person he Zhu Yuanzhang trusted the most, and this alone was enough.

After some analysis, he finally understood the intention of His Highness the King of Wu. Li Shanchang also let go. Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. He has been used to it over the years. There is nothing to be sympathetic to Zhang Shicheng's end today. Whether it is life or death is a sentence from His Highness the King of Wu. He is a minister, he has no energy and no obligation to care about these things. As long as he does what His Highness explains, it will be fine!"

"If everything is as Hu Weiyong said, then your Highness will leave me the persuasion. It seems that your Highness asked me to help fool the subjects of the world. If so, it would not make much sense to persuade Zhang Shicheng today. The final decision lies with King Wu and Zhang Shicheng. Life and death are in the same sentence between the two. I am just a way to achieve the name of benevolence and righteousness of King Wu?" Li Shanchang narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
