Chapter 1523 : The king sees the king

Li Shanchang gasped for a while and looked at Zhang Shicheng. He, who had always been resourceful, suddenly realized that he had no choice but to fight or scold this hero. He hesitated for a while and had to walk over again, bowed and said, "King Cheng--?"

After a while of silence, Zhang Shicheng, who had his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes, looked at Li Shanchang with contempt, his lips moved slightly, and said, "You are just a dog in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, let Zhu Yuanzhang come in person?" After that, he closed his eyes again.

In the study room of King Wu's palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright in front of the bookshelf, concentrating on his historical books from all dynasties. This is what he learned that the wise king Li Shimin left behind his husband with copper as a mirror to correct his clothes; using ancient as a mirror to know the rise and fall; using people as a mirror to understand gains and losses, he memorized it in his heart and practiced it himself. He recited the history books every day. Today he was the Prime Minister Tuotuo and Alutu successively presided over the compilation of "History of the Song Dynasty", which has 47 volumes of the chronicle, 162 volumes of the chronicle, 32 volumes of the table, 255 volumes of the biographies, totaling 496 volumes, about 5 million words, and the largest length of the official history book. Zhu Yuanzhang read it for more than half a year, and it happened to be the last few pages, recording the deeds of Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, the last loyal minister of the Song Dynasty.

After the Battle of Yashan, Wen Tianxiang was captured and taken to Guangzhou. Zhang Hongfan said to him: "The Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and the matter of loyalty and filial piety was completed. Even if he was killed, who would write this matter in the history of the country? Prime Minister Wen turned to Yuan as he wished and would definitely be valued." Wen Tianxiang replied: "The country was destroyed and could not be saved. As a minister, he would have more than one offense. How could he have a second thought? "Zhang Hongfan had no choice but to escort him to Dadu.

Kublai Khan, the ancestor of Wen Tianxiang, cherished his talents and asked him to go to the cell to persuade him. However, Wen Tianxiang was unstable and could not do anything, so the Tartars began to torture Wen Tianxiang in a different way, let him whip him in a stinky black prison every day, braiding irons, sticks, and beating them all. All of this was not moved by Wen Tianxiang. In the end, the Tartars were useless, but Wen Tianxiang was still unmoved and left a "Song of Righteousness" on the wall.

The heaven and earth have righteous energy, and they are mixed and flowing. The lower part is the river and the upper part is the sun and the higher part is the sun and stars. It is called Haoran and the vastness of the sky and the darkness.

The imperial road should be clear and free, and the palace is harmonious and the palace is bright. When the time is poor, the poem will be seen, and the painting will be hung one by one.

After seeing this poem, the Tartars shook their heads helplessly and quickly sent the news to Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty.

Just so happened that Kublai Khan found out that someone had contacted thousands of people and wanted to raise an army to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty and rescue Wen Tianxiang. So Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, personally sued and made the final persuasion, and promised to grant the position of prime minister. Wen Tianxiang told Kublai Khan: "There is nothing to do outside of death."

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly, looked out the window, and murmured: "Does Zhang Shicheng want to be Wen Tianxiang? But you forgot that Wen Tianxiang is the Emperor of Tartars. I am not Kublai Khan. I am Zhu Yuanzhang. It would be easy to kill you?"

"Your Highness——?" A eunuch outside the door shouted in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

"The Prime Minister Li Shanchang asked for a meeting-?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "Zhang Shicheng is indeed looking for death? Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill your wishes?"

"Let him come in?" Zhu Yuanzhang responded coldly.

Soon after, there was a sound of footsteps, Li Shanchang walked in.

"I am so embarrassed, Li Shanchang has seen Your Highness?" Li Shanchang bowed and said.

"Oh, Prime Minister, don't be polite, please get up and talk?" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and closed the books in his hand.

Li Shanchang glanced at the "History of Song" on the desk, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze and did not dare to read it more.

"Has Zhang Shicheng agreed?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually.

Li Shanchang trembled, and he hurriedly bowed and said with his fists: "Report to your highness, I am betrayed your highness, and Zhang Shicheng is stubborn. I am trying my best to persuade him. Not only does this person ignore him, but also--?" Speaking of this, Li Shanchang looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and subconsciously stopped his mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold and said, "What did you say?"

Li Shanchang gritted his teeth and said, "I also said that Weichen is just a dog of His Highness. He doesn't talk to the dog?"

"Bastard-?" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and slapped the table suddenly: "Zhang Shicheng is so brave that he actually insulted the Prime Minister. The Lone King treats him like this and even speaks wildly. The Lone King wants to see, what ability does Zhang Shicheng have?"

"Master, please follow the orphan king. The orphan king wants to seek justice from you?" Zhu Yuanzhang's swearing words.

"Your Highness——?" Li Shanchang was already filled with tears.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and suddenly shouted, "Come here?"

"The last one is here?" Mao Xiang, who had been waiting outside the door, listened to the instructions and walked in.

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted sternly: "Go and take Zhang Shicheng's bold rebel to the orphan king?"

"Yes!" Mao Xiang responded and flashed out of the King of Wu's palace.

Soon, there was a noise outside the door. Zhang Shicheng was escorted into Zhu Yuanzhang's study by four golden gourd warriors. Many soldiers along the way heard about the name of King Zhang Shicheng of Wu for a long time, but they had never seen this rumored hero. At this time, they looked sideways and saw Zhang Shicheng, who was pressed, wearing a rolling dragon robe, but was much more ruined, with a disheveled face, with iron shackles on his hands and feet, and his face was pale. He could not see any heroic charm. Only when his eyes swept across the soldiers, everyone was shocked and showed a timid look.

Although Zhang Shicheng is haggard and is pushed around by someone, he looks embarrassed, but he looks arrogant and disdainful, and there is no sign of fear.

Only then did everyone realize that the heroes of the past are indeed a bit different.

After being taken to Zhu Yuanzhang's study by Mao Xiang, Zhang Shicheng quickly retreated.

In the study, Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang stared at each other with their eyes narrowed for a while, and no one sat down. You looked at me and I looked at you.

After a long time, Zhang Shicheng slowly withdrew his gaze, snorted coldly from his nose, and sat upright on the bamboo chair beside him, no longer looking at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and a pair of triangular eyes shot out of a terrifying light.

Li Shanchang, who was standing beside him, saw Zhang Shicheng's appearance, and his eyes were squirting, shouting: "Bold thief Zhang Shicheng, don't he respect me, Your Highness, the King of Wu?"

Zhang Shicheng narrowed his eyes, and didn't even look at Li Shanchang, without saying a word.

Li Shanchang wanted to scold him, but Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and stopped him from speaking. He sat down and looked at Zhang Shicheng and said, "Zhang Shicheng, the Lonely King has inquired about it. You have done a lot of good things to the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You are very grateful for this. Although you were defeated today, the Lonely King still feels that you are a hero. The Lonely King decided to return it to you, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Huzhou, and let you be the King of Freedom, okay?"
