The bodies of the five Zhu Yongs were placed in a remote charity village.

"It was us who harmed you."

"It was us who harmed you..."

Zhu Yuanzhang squatted in front of the corpses of the five Zhu Yongs and cried bitterly.

"It was the squires and the rich who forced us to do it. It was Yuanting who caused the harm..."

"It's even more...it's Wang Ming who forced us to do this!"

"He handed us your charges and forced us to execute you..."

"But...children, my heart aches, why are you harming the people..."

"We, we raised troops to rebel against Yuan Ting, isn't it just because we can't survive because of their harm..."

“It’s hard to build this foundation, you, why do you want to harm the people!!”

"Why...!"

"Why is this happening...why is this happening!!!"

"It's us, it's our fault that we didn't teach you well, it's all our fault, it's all our fault..."

"Then Wang Ming is even more hateful. He wants to chop off your heads and not leave you with your whole body..."

"We, we can't do anything about him, but we can't blame him or hate him..."

"Because we established the Constitution and military laws...but you just...just..."

Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears and felt his heart twisting. He didn't know why it ended up like this.

The children who were once so good would turn into villains who brought harm to the people, forcing him to kill them.

Step, step, step...

The sound of gentle footsteps came, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped crying and turned his head sharply.

"who!!!"

Liu Bowen walked slowly, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

"Qingtian Liu Bowen, meet the commander-in-chief."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up to greet Liu Bowen.

"Mr. Liu?"

"You are here, you are finally here..."

"We, our ugly appearance is all for you to see."

Liu Bowen shook his head and smiled.

"No, I didn't see anything ugly."

"But I saw it today, and saw the kingly aura on Jinling City."

"Commander Zhu Yuanzhang, you have a heart of an emperor hidden inside."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Liu Bowen's flattering words, he was not very happy for a moment, but was full of doubts.

He stepped forward to help Liu Bowen up and asked, "Sir, why do you say that?"

Liu Bowen said softly: "If the commander-in-chief didn't have the heart of an emperor, the commander-in-chief wouldn't do this."

"Even if I do this, it won't be so painful."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen in confusion, his pain and gloominess disappeared, and he sighed:

"Sir, he saw through us at a glance."

"Bowen admires what the commander has done so much."

"Everyone who achieves great things is like this."

"Those who achieve great things must do the same."

"Sir, you are truly our soulmate..."

"However, I have something to say to the commander-in-chief."

"Sir, please speak."

"If the commander wants to become an emperor, then the suffering has just begun."

"Great suffering is yet to come."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Liu Bowen's warning. He vaguely felt that the road ahead would be difficult, and infinite emotion arose in his heart.

After Liu Bowen left, Wang Ming's figure slowly walked out.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Wang Ming, with tears still remaining on his face. At this time, there was no sadness and gloom, only a smile.

"Sure enough, this Liu Bowen is really extraordinary. He can be so confidant to us just after we met."

"It makes us feel that Mr. Liu is not an ordinary person and has great talent."

Wang Ming smiled lightly and said:

"The superior thought correctly. Being able to have Liu Bowen as his assistant is like the Emperor of the Han Dynasty having Zhang Liang. The future is promising."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little surprised and disbelieving.

"Can Liu Bowen compare to Zhang Liang?"

Wang Ming said categorically:

"Of course, but the premise is that the superior can compete with Han Gaozu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately speechless. Even though he was very confident, he did not dare to compare himself to the Emperor of Han Dynasty at this time.

"Wang Ming, you are joking, how can we compare to the Emperor of Han Dynasty..."

"Don't underestimate yourself if you are a superior. In my opinion, your future achievements will not be much different from those of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty."

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty and now at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was a battle between dragons and snakes. However, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu was still a pavilion chief, but at the beginning of the upper position, he only had one bowl."

"In terms of the starting line alone, the top position is much lower than that of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty."

"If I ascend to Dabao in the future and rebuild the country, just from the starting line, I have already won."

"Ha, hahahahahahahaha..."

"Wang Ming, why do you follow Li Shanchang's example and say such flattery?"

"Sir, I'm not flattering you, I'm telling the truth."

"Then Li Shanchang flatters you because you are a superior, and you know that I will not flatter you just because you are a superior."

"I'm just telling the truth. I really think your future achievements will be comparable to that of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty."

Wang Ming said calmly.

"Well……"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

It's obvious that the words are complimentary, but why do they sound so harsh?

Perhaps, this is called speaking softly but speaking hard.

At this point, Wang Ming spoke again:

"Shang Shang, what Liu Bowen said in the last sentence is right. Shang Shang wants to achieve big things in the future, and there will be many more things like today."

"The sage has a saying: If you accept the filth of your country, you are called the master of the country; if you accept the bad luck of your country, you are the king of the world!"

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

"Sir, you have to be mentally prepared early."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression changed and he murmured to himself.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight?"

"That's it, we understand."

"Sir, now that Liu Bowen is here, with him assisting you, I can rest assured that I can just rest."

"Then in the days to come, stay on top and take care of yourself."

"Remember, among these two people, Li Shanchang is available and Liu Bowen is trustworthy."

"Hmm? Rest? What do you mean...you, you want to leave?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this.

Wang Ming nodded and said: "My practice requires me to go back and retreat for a period of time."

"From now on, I will come back every other year."

"Also, the shelf of the Constitution Ministry has been erected. All that is left is to fill in the content."
