Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 593: Resolving the Annan Rebellion
As the night wind blew across the grassland and the wolf smoke gradually dissipated, Zahak stared at Zhu Chong's back.

A hint of awe flashed in his pupils, and he nodded silently, realizing that this downtrodden King of Qin not only possessed extraordinary military power, but also possessed the vision and wisdom to pacify the troubled times.

Just as the Mongolian grasslands were praising Lin Che's wisdom and strength.

It was early autumn in the capital, and the dew on the pine needles was slightly cool. In the study of Imperial Master Lin Che, the incense burner was curling, and the room was extremely quiet. Outside the study, the Jinyiwei followed him like a shadow, waiting solemnly.

A simple carrier pigeon suddenly flapped its wings and flew in, breaking the tranquility.

The carrier pigeon landed on Lin Che's large sandalwood table. Unafraid of human gazes, Lin Che unfolded the letter, his eyes becoming more and more solemn.

It was urgent news from Annan, a border town, reporting a sudden rebellion.

The faction in Annan that had been maintaining friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty was suddenly hit by a coup, and the Li Xun family was also caught up in the vortex.

“Another internal trouble.” Lin Che muttered to himself, not showing much surprise on his face. “Li Xun must be heartbroken right now. He is far away in a foreign country, but disasters keep coming his way.”

Just as Lin Che said, Annan's envoy Li Xun was on pins and needles when faced with urgent intelligence from the country.

His brothers and close relatives were all implicated, and Li Xun felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, slowly oppressing his breathing.

When Zhu Yuanzhang learned about this, his expression became quite serious. He ordered someone to call Li Xun for a secret discussion and to hear the Annan envoy's opinion.

"Ambassador Li," Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, "I have learned about the rebellion in Annan. This is a huge challenge to you personally and to the relationship between our two countries."

Li Xun bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty has a long-standing reputation. Now that my Li family has suffered such a disaster, I can't help but feel worried."

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, then asked: "In your opinion, is there any foreign power behind this chaos?"

Li Xun smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency is right. Although I don't want to jump to conclusions, this sudden change may be suspected of foreign interference."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Lin Che looked at each other, and they both thought of Zhu Chong almost at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with worry, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Master, I want you to take action again in this matter. I need to know the mastermind behind it."

Lin Che nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely find out the truth."

……

“Sir, I have found an important clue.” Zhu Yunwen, a disciple of the Imperial Master, came to Lin Che’s room with an anxious look on his face and reported in a low voice.

Lin Che was holding a book in his hand. Hearing this, he looked up and said, “What clues are there? Tell me about them.”

Zhu Yunwen walked over quickly and handed Lin Che a roll of yellow paper with densely written words on it: "According to our secret sources, the younger brother of the rebel leader in Annan secretly visited Japan a month ago."

Lin Che flicked his finger slightly, and the paper roll unfolded automatically. "Eastern Asia?" His eyes lit up. "Isn't this where Zhu Chong's people are active?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded: "That's right, I think this matter is unusual and is likely related to those suspected people in the Ming court."

Lin Che clasped his hands together, thinking: "Cut the Gordian knot with wisdom. In this case, we have to speed up our pace."

Zhu Yunwen bowed slightly and said, "Master, this matter needs to be handled carefully. Once it attracts the attention of the East, the situation will be out of control."

Lin Che smiled slightly, "Don't you understand your teacher's abilities?"

There are some things that we can’t do openly, so we have to do it secretly.”

After saying that, Lin Che's figure disappeared in the room in an instant, turning into a puff of smoke, and was blown away by the wind in an unknown direction. Li Xun felt relieved when he learned that Lin Che was personally taking action, but the turmoil within the family made him anxious. He had to deal with the diplomatic crisis between countries and stabilize the division within the family.

"At this moment, it seems that the whole world is betraying me."

Li Xun sat alone in the room. The wind blew in from outside, bringing a little chill.

"But no matter what, I can't show weakness. I want to find out the truth, I want to save my family, and I want to prove our innocence."

Lin Che collected intelligence quickly and reliably through secret channels. He needed to piece them together to form complete evidence, and all of this.

All of them gradually reveal the complexity and profundity contained therein.

Under Lin Che's arrangement, after several days of intense fundraising and covert operations, a complex network diagram gradually emerged in his mind.

From the civil unrest in Annan to the mysterious visitors from the East, and then to the restless people within the Ming court, the seemingly independent clues were quietly connected together.

Eventually, the clues pointed to a powerful official within the Ming Dynasty and the foreign forces behind it.

Imperial Master Lin Che held the final clue in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a determination to win.

On the night of the Double Ninth Festival, the autumn chrysanthemums in the harem bloomed, and Zhu Yuanzhang held a banquet in the imperial garden to celebrate this year's harvest.

Imperial Master Lin Che shoulders a heavy secret, and he knows that tonight is bound to be a turbulent night.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the throne and looked at Lin Che walking slowly towards him. He felt an inexplicable emotion making his heart tense.

"National Master, what new discoveries have you made?"

Lin Che took a deep breath and said firmly, "Your Majesty, all signs show that the mastermind behind this coup is indeed related to the traitors in the Ming Dynasty, and that the Japanese forces are also involved."

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned forward slightly and stared at Lin Che, "Are you sure?"

Lin Che said in a deep voice: “I am somewhat confident, but this matter involves a lot of people, so Your Majesty needs to act decisively.”

When Li Xun heard all this, he was filled with emotion. He returned to his residence late at night. He faced the bright moon alone, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

“Lord Lin Che is indeed unfathomable. With such great power, things in Annan will surely be settled.”

"But if it is true as the Imperial Master said, that my family's suffering is just a victim of a conspiracy behind the scenes, what should I do?"

A gust of night wind blew away his thoughts. Li Xun stood still and said to himself firmly: "No matter what, I will protect my family."

Under Lin Che's guidance, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gave an order and several carefully planned cleanup operations took place quietly in the capital.

False testimony, false decrees, from fake disciples to real identities, Lin Che and Zhu Yuanzhang used every silky soft thread to build a big net, just to surround everyone involved.

In the end, thanks to the actions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, all the traitors in the court and the evil forces from Japan were eliminated.

With the help of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xun was able to lead the delegation back home safely and began to rebuild his family. At the same time, he also maintained the prestige and influence of the Ming Dynasty in Annan.

Under Lin Che's careful planning, the forces in the Ming Dynasty that colluded with the Japanese were completely eliminated, and the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Annan returned to normal.
