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

Chapter 596 Purple Gold Badge
The deputy general's eyes were firm when he heard this, "Since the national teacher said so, we will definitely serve the country with all our loyalty."

With the sound of trumpets, the Ming cavalry marched northward in a mighty force, galloping across the battlefield just to quell the war.

As the two armies engaged in battle, drums of war thundered and swords were blaring. Lin Che remained calm and composed in the army, and his command determined the outcome of the entire battle.

In a crucial battle, facing the fierce offensive of the Mongolian rebels, Lin Che went to the front line and led the troops.

He killed the enemy commander, waved flags and shouted slogans, led the soldiers to seize flags and kill generals, and completely defeated the rebels.

On the battlefield, although Lin Che was not a military general, his strategic layout, courage and bravery made all the generals ashamed.

His military strategy and foresight were so brilliant that he seemed to always be able to foresee opportunities at critical moments.

"Look at the Imperial Master galloping on the battlefield. The enemy troops all flee in fear. This is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."

The soldiers encouraged each other and felt honored to be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

After the war subsided, Lin Che's name became famous far and wide, and people from all over the country bowed down to him in worship.

Because they knew that it was this national teacher who not only used strategies and wisdom to protect the stability of the country, but also conquered the storms on the battlefield time and time again with his personal strength.

"This contribution is known to the world." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Lin Che: "I have said that if you can calm the internal situation, you will be rewarded with a title of nobility and a reward of ten thousand gold. Lin Che, you have done both. I will confer you the title of Grand Tutor."

As soon as Lin Che's words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court sighed. On the one hand, they admired Lin Che's reputation and wisdom, and on the other hand, they were shocked by the generous reward.

With the position of Imperial Master and the award of Grand Tutor, Lin Che's prestige and honor in the entire court are already difficult to shake.

However, Lin Che only smiled slightly and replied calmly: "The peace of the country is the greatest reward for our generation. Lin Che dare not dream of other fame and fortune."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled knowingly when he heard this, and felt even more respect for this minister who was not only proficient in strategizing in the court, but also able to command troops on the battlefield.

"Good, good for the country's peace. I know today that the reason why the Ming Dynasty lasted forever is because of loyal people like you, Lin Che."

After communicating with Zhu Yuanzhang in the capital, Lin Che once again took off his brocade robe, put on a simple robe, and returned to his study.

He has always been indifferent to fame and fortune in the court, and his positioning of himself has always been consistent - the guardian of the country and the patron saint of the people.

Amid the smoke and clouds of the capital, the Forbidden City was brightly lit. Imperial Preceptor Lin Che stepped into the Xuande Hall, his long robe fluttering, like an immortal descending from the clouds.

At this time, all the ministers in the hall had already lined up, and everyone's eyes turned to this Ming hero who had just returned from the Mongolian border.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the dragon throne, his eyes scanning the people present, finally settling on Lin Che.

His voice was loud and generous: "Lin Che, I have heard about your achievements on the frontier. This time, you used your clever strategy to make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. I would like to commend you and the whole court congratulate you."

Lin Che bowed slightly and responded modestly: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am just doing my part."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and it was not difficult to see his appreciation and trust for Lin Che in his eyes.

He turned around and ordered his attendants to fetch a brocade box, which he opened himself. Inside was a badge made of purple gold, engraved with dragon patterns and magic arrays, symbolizing the highest honor and power.

"The purple gold seal is a token of my love for you. It can help me organize the government. I grant you the title of the Purple Gold Grand Master." Zhu Yuanzhang announced solemnly. The officials were shocked. The position of the Grand Master rose to the highest level.

Everyone present could immediately feel the weight of the purple gold emblem. Lin Che took the emblem and slowly bowed his head, “Lin Che thanks your Majesty for your kindness.”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice again, and his words revealed a deep meaning: "A man who plans for the country cannot be my teacher for a day. Today I give you the purple gold seal, not only to reward your merits, but also to hope that you can continue to assist me and open up the future of Ming Dynasty together."

"I will obey your orders and live up to your Majesty's and the people's expectations."

Lin Che promised solemnly. His words were firm and his eyes were bright, showing that he was able to face power with ease.

At the dinner, Lin Che sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang. Some of the ministers were envious, while others were wary. Lin Che's position was extremely special. He not only controlled the government, but also the government.

He is also a person who can explore the secrets of heaven and control creation. However, the mind of the national teacher has always been shrouded in mystery and difficult to understand.

Zhengzhong, who thought that the narrow-minded dignitaries were serious, said in a low voice with displeasure on his face, "Lin Che is a man of high status and favored by the emperor. Who in the court can control him?"

A junior official beside him whispered, "The Imperial Master has made great contributions. We are just laymen, how dare we make irresponsible comments?"

His solemn expression sank, and he knew in his heart that he had spoken carelessly. Today, every pair of eyes and ears at this table were sharper than usual.

He was afraid that his whispers would be heard by Lin Che and dilute the good impression that the Imperial Master had of him.

Among the many court officials present, there were also many generals who had fought on the frontier expeditions with Lin Che. They sincerely admired this state teacher with profound magical powers.

During the interval, an old general Liu Jiang came to toast, "Master Imperial Master, we were able to quell the rebellion this time, thanks to your brilliant plan, and we were able to return with honor."

Lin Che smiled faintly and said, "General Liu, you are overpraising me. This is not the result of my achievements alone, but the result of the concerted efforts of all the soldiers."

As he was speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his glass and said, "The imperial master and the soldiers are all pillars of the country. It is a blessing for the country that we can celebrate together today, haha."

For a while, the banquet was filled with laughter and joy. As people raised their glasses, they could see the brilliant martial arts and the hidden power of the state master. The court officials followed the sound and drank, but in their hearts, Lin Che's image became even taller.

The dinner party did not end until late at night. After the excitement died down, Zhu Yuanzhang left Lin Che alone to talk in detail.

“Master, I have something on my mind and want to discuss it with you.” Zhu Yuanzhang’s expression was solemn, which aroused Lin Che’s vigilance.

“Your Majesty, please let me know.” Lin Che replied in a deep voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and confirmed that no one was around. He whispered, "You and I both know that the Shadow Alliance should not be taken lightly. I bestow upon you the purple gold emblem, firstly to reward your merits, and secondly, I hope that you can help me purge the treacherous officials in the court."

Lin Che's eyes were deep, and he pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already marked the hidden line over there and I am in control of it myself. How can I not investigate the people in the court?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction. "I knew that you, Lin Che, could not predict the future. The world is not stable yet, but we must guard against internal and external troubles. You and I will shoulder the heavy responsibility of this era."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were as heavy as a mountain, but Lin Che remained calm and replied, "I am willing to take the helm for your majesty, control the Ming Dynasty, and navigate the winds and clouds."

The two of them once again talked about many things about the future of the Ming Dynasty, and did not go their separate ways until dawn.
