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

Chapter 599: The King of Qin's Indignation

After the class, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, slowly pushed open the secret door and walked into the room.

He quietly walked in front of Lin Che, the national teacher who was riding a wind-like horse and waving a talisman in his hand. At this moment, there was no ripple in the association, only the solemnity of a teacher.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Master, I have also understood the lesson you taught me today."

Lin Che nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of gentleness: "Your Majesty, have you been listening?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said sternly: "Master, I have never doubted your loyalty. I wanted to test your heart tonight, but I learned more instead."

Zhu Yuanzhang changed the subject and said with a complicated expression: "After listening to what you said, many of my concerns have disappeared."

"I am very pleased. You are a wise man and a pillar of the country. I am very lucky to have you in Ming Dynasty."

Lin Che just smiled, and said calmly: "If Your Majesty can do so, it will be my honor."

"The duty of the national teacher is to worry about the country and always regard the country as my home. If one day I lose my way, I hope Your Majesty can guide me on the right path."

The two people's eyes met in the air, as if their magnetic fields collided, generating unprecedented trust and understanding.

From this moment on, the relationship between the two as teacher and friend not only did not break up, but became even more solid and reliable.

After that, whether in the court or among the people, Lin Che's prestige not only did not become a threat to Emperor Hongwu, but instead became a rock-solid pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

The rising sun shines across the splendid imperial city. Inside the Forbidden City, the morning bells and evening drums are playing a lively prelude.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very good mood today. He casually stroked the intricately carved armrest of the dragon throne, preparing to start a special court meeting.

"Imperial Master, since you are the Imperial Master, I would like to ask you a few questions today." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the Golden Palace and reached the ears of all the ministers.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in surprise. Lin Che remained calm and just smiled slightly. He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, asking His Majesty to speak frankly.

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly and blurted out the question he had prepared in his mind.

"Master, I want to ask you, the Ming Dynasty is vast, do you think I should first stabilize the internal situation or fight against foreign aggression?"

This question was undoubtedly a trap. A smart person like Lin Che naturally knew that maintaining internal stability and resisting external aggression were the top priorities of governing a country, and the priorities could not be reversed.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, to keep the interior and exterior stable, we must fight against the enemy, so that our external power will not be disturbed by internal strife."

"To resist foreign aggression, we must also stabilize the internal affairs, so that the internal affairs can be stable and foreign aggression can be prevented from taking advantage of the situation. I believe that taking both internal and external factors into consideration is the first policy."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with admiration, "Master, this is very true. I really have a question."

"Your Majesty, please."

"If any minister covets power, what should I do?"

Lin Che did not hesitate at all and immediately answered: "The struggle for power is like dancing on the edge of a knife."

"First, cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. If there are treacherous ministers, everyone will know Sima Zhao's intentions."

"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed, and ministers must not be discriminated against based on closeness or distance. If one is upright and impartial, the treacherous will surely suffer the consequences of their actions."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept across the other courtiers in the court. Seeing that no one objected, he nodded with satisfaction.

He suddenly changed the subject, "Then let me ask you again, if the people of the world suffer from disasters and the treasury is empty, how should I help them?"

This is an unusual question, your Majesty’s question.

It involves people's livelihood and tests the talent and heart of the national teacher. The ministers are even more excited and everyone looks at him sideways.

Lin Che looked calm and spoke clearly: "Your Majesty, the people are the foundation of the country, and a solid foundation will help the country to be peaceful."

"The treasury is not sufficient? Saving the people from disaster is the first priority. You can abolish extravagance and reduce taxes." "Next, open the warehouses to release grain, relieve the people from difficulties, and let your majesty's benevolence spread to all, and the weather will be renewed."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Lin Che a meaningful smile, his heart already calm, "Okay, okay!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang uttered the three words "good", the hall fell silent. All the ministers were shocked by the imperial teacher's answer, which was as clear as seeing through fire and hit the nail on the head.

After the court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Lin Che privately and said to him, "Master, my question today is actually to test your determination and wisdom."

Lin Che nodded slightly: "The Imperial Master knows your Majesty's heart, and he also understands that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is not the result of your Majesty's efforts alone."

"If I do not put the interests of the country first, I will fail your Majesty's high expectations."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he heard this. He admired Lin Che's insightful mind and his awareness of the country's crisis. He knew that the wisdom and talent of the state teacher far exceeded that of ordinary people.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Lin Che's figure became taller and taller.

It was he who repeatedly resolved the crises in the court and saved the country from subversion several times.

He had the people of the Ming Dynasty in his heart, and his words and actions reflected his loyalty to the court and his care for the people.

In the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang also told his concubines about the mechanism and courage of the imperial teacher this morning, fully demonstrating the imperial teacher's plateau and broad-mindedness.

He is not only a wizard famous in the capital, but also a national treasure and the people's support.

Outside the imperial city, Lin Che's reputation spread throughout the world, and he became a true master in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

They trusted him, appreciated him, and were glad that he was protecting this land.

For the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the wise monarch, and Lin Che, the virtuous imperial teacher, are like the most solid bridge between heaven and earth, deeply rooting the endless imperial way in the great way of human relations.

In the intricate court, the imperial teacher Ling Chi, dressed in a dark green robe, looked dignified and walked calmly.

He was the imperial teacher of the Ming Dynasty, favored by the court and respected by the world.

But once the balance of power tilts, it will always cause endless waves.

Among them, Qin Wang Zhu Chong was jealous and uneasy about Lin Che's status and reputation.

The night was as dark as water, and Zhu Chong's residence was brightly lit. A banquet in a place of debauchery concealed the intrigues among the court officials.

"Lin Che is becoming more and more arrogant. Just the way the emperor looks at him makes me feel uncomfortable."

After Zhu Chong drank a glass of wine, he was filled with resentment and had no place to vent it, so he could only vent his complaints in his own mansion.

A young official in a red robe nearby chuckled, trying to change the topic.

"I heard that he just broke up the Shadow Alliance rebellion a few days ago, and His Majesty commended him for this. How could his position be easily shaken?"

Zhu Chong raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "Status? That's for people to see."

"If I find something on him, his high position will be nothing but a castle in the air."

There was a different atmosphere in the palace.

Imperial Master Lin Che sat in the spacious study room. Everything seemed to be under his control, including the conspiracies and intrigues that were surging around him.

"Master, do you know that the King of Qin is gathering people's hearts in private?" a loyal disciple asked with his head bowed.

Lin Che raised his pen and responded calmly, "When the clouds clear, the moon appears. I naturally noticed these little moves."
