Chapter 560 Lin Che’s new lesson: The way of checks and balances for kings

Lin Che was silent for a moment, her eyes flickering, and then she nodded: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to predict the future. The stars are numerous and unpredictable, and I cannot be sure of King Qin's future behavior." There was helplessness and bitterness in his voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, his brows were slightly frowning, and there seemed to be something unspeakable in his eyes.

Lin Che spoke again: "Your Majesty, everything I know is a possibility, not a certainty." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"National Master, you don't have to worry too much. We all know that there are always variables in the future. It's just certain things that make me feel worried and troubled." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply.

Lin Che nodded slightly, but his heart was in turmoil. In his prediction, Zhu Chong seemed to do something worrying in the future.

However, he also knew that he could not tell Zhu Yuanzhang directly. Because the future is not certain, any remarks may have unforeseen consequences.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, with a hint of helplessness on his brows. He was well aware of Lin Che's difficulties. After all, no one knew what the future would bring.

"National Master, in that case, we might as well put it aside for the time being and forget about the matter in the imperial study. You have worked hard, so take a good rest."

Zhu Yuanzhang gently patted Lin Che's shoulder, indicating that he could retreat.

Lin Che bowed, thanked Your Majesty, and exited the imperial study.

In the quiet moment of the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang was surrounded by worries in his heart.

In the evening, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen slowly came to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.

The door was closed, and two guards stood in front of it. When they saw Zhu Yunwen, they immediately bowed and invited him in.

The candlelight in the Imperial Master's Mansion flickered, reflecting Zhu Yunwen's deep thoughts.

Tonight, his mood was extremely complicated. The struggle within the royal family had been intensifying recently, and everything suddenly made him feel uneasy.

Entering the hall, Zhu Yunwen saw Lin Che in plain clothes. He looked calm. Lin Che walked up to Zhu Yunwen and said kindly: "Your Highness, what is disturbing your mind today?"

Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly: "Master, I am really uneasy today. During the day, my second uncle actually plotted against me. However, Grandpa Huang did not make any clear measures, but instead signaled that the matter should be settled." His tone was full of confusion and confusion. disappointment.

Lin Che smiled slightly. He was well aware of Zhu Yunwen's behavior and worries, and comforted him softly: "Your Highness, the right and wrong in the world are turbulent. For thousands of years, running a country and ensuring peace will inevitably lead to many entanglements. Now that Your Highness has been deceived by his relatives, it is really disturbing. Heartache."

Zhu Yunwen nodded sadly, unable to let go of the anguish in his heart, "I thought I was Grandpa Huang's beloved grandson, but I didn't expect him to treat me like this." His eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.

Lin Che was deep in thought, carefully interpreting the pain deep in the young prince's heart. He knew that Zhu Yunwen's fate was full of ups and downs and challenges, and that family affection and intrigue were always intertwined in his life.

"Your Highness, this moment may be a test for you, but don't worry, Zhu Xi won't be around for too long." Lin Che's words were full of expectations and encouragement.

The dim light illuminated Zhu Yunwen's thoughtful eyes, and beside him, Lin Che listened to his story.

"Zhu Feng has always been ambitious. His style of conduct is resolute and decisive, and he is never merciless when dealing with political opponents. You must deal with him carefully and never underestimate his intentions." Lin Che said with a solemn face and a low tone. Zhu Yunwen's eyebrows flashed with a hint of perseverance and reluctance. He was well aware of Zhu Ping's conspiracy and ambition. "The national advisors and generals have all been won over by him. I already understand that sooner or later, the grudge between me and him will be settled." ." There was a hint of unyieldingness and determination in Zhu Yunwen's tone.

"Don't worry, as long as you are careful, I believe this storm will pass sooner or later." Lin Che's eyes flashed with firm belief.

Lin Che then sat opposite Zhu Yunwen. His gaze was profound, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. He said, "Your Highness, I know you are full of curiosity about national affairs. Today, I will teach you a lesson about the king." of checks and balances.”

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt as if he was taking a breath of spring breeze. Since Lin Che became the national teacher, he has rarely given lessons.

Every lesson is so precious.

He knew that Lin Che's teachings were full of wisdom and insights, which would benefit his soul a lot every time.

"Your Highness, the way of a king is not just about ruling, but also a manifestation of wisdom. A king is not a lonely actor, but is involved in the struggle of many powers."

"In the disputes between courtiers, the king needs to learn to balance the interests of all parties, reconcile conflicts, and make the court more stable."

Lin Che's every word was exquisite, and her words revealed profound philosophy.

Zhu Yunwen listened attentively. He understood in his heart that what Lin Che said was not only the way to govern the country, but also a kind of wisdom about dealing with people and dealing with complex situations. He lowered his head silently and pondered.

"Your Highness, the king's power is a kind of balance. Internally, the power of the courtiers is stabilized, and externally, the country's strength is maintained."

"The king needs to act prudently at all times, resolve internal and external conflicts, and maintain the health of the people in the world. Only in this way can the world be peaceful and peaceful." Lin Che's voice was calm and full of power.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were fascinated, as if he was thinking. He gradually realized that the responsibilities of a king are very heavy, and governing a country is no small matter. Lin Che's words were deafening, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.

Lin Che continued: "The king's method of checks and balances is a vital wisdom that allows the king to maintain his composure in internal and external difficulties, lead the country to flourish, and soothe the hearts of the people."

"A king is like walking on a tightrope. Once he loses his balance, he may fall into the abyss."

"The king needs to deal with internal and external conflicts at the same time, and control the hearts of officials, nobles and people."

"He needs to maintain the balance of power and prevent any party from becoming too powerful and triggering civil strife."

"On the one hand, in the court, the king needs to protect himself wisely, unswervingly safeguard the royal power, and maintain the stability of the court. At the same time, he must implement the system of governing the country with virtue, rewarding good and punishing evil, so that officials know that loyalty is respected and treachery is respected. Only in this way can we check and balance the power struggle between courtiers and maintain the balance between the government and the opposition. "

Lin Che spoke with certainty and continued in a calm tone: "On the other hand, among the people, the king needs to implement benevolent government and care about leisure and people's livelihood."

"We must implement tax reduction and disaster relief policies, care about people's livelihood, alleviate the sufferings of the people, and strive to ensure that the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, so that the people of the world will love the king and achieve a situation of inclusiveness between the king and the people."

Zhu Yunwen listened to Lin Che's explanation and felt quite enlightened. These checks and balances are really the fundamental way to govern the country. When the current situation is turbulent, these commands will become important rules for him to deal with internal and external conflicts.
