Chapter 586: Annan Turmoil
"Lin Che's strategies never disappoint me. You just wait and see how the Imperial Master resolves this undercurrent for the Ming Dynasty."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the court almost froze. Even the officials who had ulterior motives could not help but feel secretly frightened.

As night fell that day, the group's branch in the capital was uprooted, and Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon court returned to peace and tranquility again.

Lin Che and Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the imperial garden. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, praising the imperial master: "Imperial Master, you have cleansed the court and stabilized the Ming Dynasty once again."

Imperial Master Lin Che only smiled lightly, without any pride: "Your Majesty, you are overpraising me. I am just doing my duty."

But everyone who understands knows that this seemingly peaceful night is the tranquility left after the storm planned by the National Master Lin Che.

As the lanterns were lit, the distinct footsteps of the Imperial Guards echoed on the golden brick floor. For a moment, the air inside and outside the entire palace seemed to freeze.

Amid this tense atmosphere, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne, his eyes like torches, illuminating the entire Fengtian Hall.

“Imperial Master, the changes in the court today are truly astonishing.” Zhu Yuanzhang first looked at Lin Che with admiration, then shook his head and sighed.

Lin Che was dressed in white, with his hands behind his back, standing aside with a calm expression.

He nodded slightly, and his clear voice floated in the hall: "Sir, don't joke. This is not a child's play."

All the ministers bowed their heads in silence, only glancing at Lin Che secretly, in awe and envy. The majesty and wisdom of the imperial teacher were undoubtedly displayed today, which was breathtaking.

The arrested confidant was dragged by the Jinyiwei to his knees on the ground, his face darker than ink and sweat pouring down.

And the powerful official who had been hiding in the dark and controlling everything, at this moment, was like a wild beast that had lost its disguise, and walked into the sight of everyone with reluctance.

"National Master, National Master, you are truly a loyal minister to my country." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply, his voice full of satisfaction and praise.

“I am only fulfilling my duty.” Lin Che said calmly and turned around.

Looking at his confidant who was kneeling on the ground with a panicked look on his face, his tone suddenly became stern, "What happened today is indeed a great treason. Are you guilty?"

The confidant's face turned from black to white, and he was silent. He half begged for mercy and half explained: "National Master, this... this was all instigated by the person behind the scenes. I was also forced to do this."

Lin Che snorted softly, as if he was whining, but also as if he was scorning her: "Being forced into a helpless situation? Ridiculous. Without a bunch of parasites like you, how could the Ming Dynasty be in the situation it is today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall was completely silent; even the sound of breathing seemed to stop.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, knowing that the resolution of this political turmoil depended entirely on the power of the imperial teacher.

Lin Che's gaze was as sharp as a knife, sweeping towards everyone. Whenever his gaze lingered on someone, the people being slashed would feel a chill down their spines and be filled with fear.

Of course, there are also a few officials with ulterior motives who feel particularly pressured.

"Okay, I want to see who else in this court is in cahoots with this villain." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was not loud, but it was like spring thunder, exploding in the hall.

The ministers bowed their heads and said nothing. Only Lin Che's voice was clear and transparent: "Your Majesty, I have found out something. From now on, I am willing to use the Jinyiwei to investigate the capital and eradicate this evil element."

After Lin Che gave this order, all the ministers were terrified. They looked at each other and could only nod.

Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted. He admired Lin Che's decisiveness and said, "Okay, as you say, I will grant you full authority to handle this matter. You must give me a bright and peaceful world."

In the Fengtian Hall, the majesty of the Imperial Preceptor Lin Che has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. All the ministers are speechless. Besides sighing, they are more in awe of the Imperial Preceptor of the Daming Dynasty.

Lin Che looked at Zhu Yuanzhang indifferently, lowered his head and walked out. His white robe fluttered in the hall.

The lights in Li Xun's mansion were on. Until this moment, as an envoy from Annan, he finally returned to his mansion, but he did not feel the slightest sense of peace.

"Mr. Li, there is no need to be so panic." The confidant walking beside him whispered, but he could not hide the worry in his eyes.

Li Xun sighed deeply and responded with a wooden expression.

"But do you know? From that moment on, I... I became a chess piece on the chessboard, neither black nor white."

A hint of respect flashed across his face, and he bowed slightly: "Mr. Li is wise, we will only comfort you in times of distress."

After this.

A palace coup intended to overthrow the government attempted to break out on the third night after Li Xun's return.

An unknown assassin sneaked into the royal family at some point and stabbed Li Xun. The assassin was agile and dressed in black. If it weren't for Lin Che's excellent kung fu, he would have almost gotten into trouble.

“Humph, the super-trained assassin can’t do anything to me.” Lin Che smiled, and saw him lightly raising his right hand.

Several needles shot out from the fingertips, accurately hitting the assassin's acupuncture points, rendering him unable to move.

“This is…” Li Xun opened his eyes wide, witnessing Lin Che’s kung fu for the first time.

As Zhu Yuanzhang learned more about this and began to closely follow Li Xun's actions, he became more confident in Lin Che's abilities.

Imperial Master Lin Che had previously used his unique skills to uncover the truth behind the assassination. He seemed to have driven away the creepy shadow, but he failed to eradicate the great worry in Li Xun's heart.

In the imperial garden of the palace, the water was rippling and the water was shining. Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the pavilion with a solemn expression. He looked at Li Xun and said, "Messenger Li, when you came back this time, I think you also noticed that Annan was not peaceful."

Li Xun answered sincerely: "Your Majesty is very observant. This is the case. I returned to Annan this time with the intention of implementing the treaty alliance between the two sides, but I never thought that I would be caught in a vortex."

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and said with a hint in his tone: "Although Ming and Annan are allies, I'm afraid that a force has already been nurtured in Annan."

"While enjoying the Ming dynasty's supplies, he secretly tried to get rid of the Ming dynasty's wings."

After hearing this, Li Xun frowned. He understood that the so-called national interests were often the interests of the powerful. These forces in Annan would achieve their goals.

He began to plan to get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty: "Your Majesty, doesn't it mean that Annan has become a hunting ground for the weak and the strong?"

The law of the jungle is too straightforward. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a sharpness.

"I guess that the forces in Annan are not simply resisting. They have their own plans and are even willing to collude with foreign enemies."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Li Xun's heart.

"The fate of the country cannot be taken lightly. Your Majesty is absolutely right. This matter is of great importance. I must proceed with caution."

Li Xun stood up to thank him and was about to set off to return to Annan, but Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, Imperial Master, do you have any good ideas?"
