Chapter 614: Erecting a Monument for the Imperial Master

People were amazed that this mysterious national teacher could make plans and achieve good results that were praised by everyone under such difficult circumstances.

But the court gradually took control of the overall situation, and the people began to sing the stories of the imperial teacher.

Some compare him to a gentle rain, while others praise him as a lucky star among the people.

Imperial Master Lin Che did not become complacent because of this. He believed that governing the world was his duty.

In his Imperial Master's Mansion, the hanging chart of the world's granaries was full of annotations circled by him.

His hard work day and night was invisible to anyone, but it saved countless people from freezing and starvation.

In this disaster, the outstanding wisdom and proper response of the national teacher Lin Che not only won the love of the people.

It also consolidated Zhu Yuanzhang's power and firmly secured the Ming Dynasty's rule in the face of difficulties.

When spring comes and flowers bloom, and snow melts into mud, Lin Che, accompanied by Zhu Yuanzhang, climbs to a high place and looks into the distance, watching all things revive.

He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although the natural disaster is cruel, spring will eventually come. As long as we do our duty, we can let the people enjoy the days of blooming flowers as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the wise and broad-minded imperial teacher in front of him, and felt sincerely gratified.

He took a deep breath of the spring breeze and said firmly, "With you here, the Ming Dynasty will be able to withstand any storm."

The people and the court of the Ming Dynasty all remembered the achievements of this imperial teacher.

Under Lin Che's administration, the future of Ming Dynasty seemed brighter.

The north wind is as sharp as a knife, and the biting cold wind symbolizes winter's ruthless control over this land.

The northern border of the Ming Dynasty, a vast frontier area, was in turmoil due to the sudden attack of nomadic peoples from the north.

When the border report was urgently sent back to the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, not only because the war was sudden, but also because the calculating intent revealed in it made him shudder.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was not just an ordinary small-scale attack, but an opportunity for someone with ulterior motives to test the strength of the Ming Dynasty's border defense.

In the court, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his pen and wrote quickly, immediately summoning Lin Che, the King of Ming Dynasty.

"Master," Zhu Yuanzhang ordered in the imperial study, "The northern border is in danger. I only trust you in this matter."

Lin Che wore a wide robe with big sleeves and looked calm, as if he had already made a plan in mind.

He stood in front of the polished imperial desk and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, this border crisis is indeed dangerous, but it is also a good opportunity for our Ming Dynasty to exercise its power."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt Lin Che's calmness and ease, just like the quiet starry sky on a summer night.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of security in my heart, "Lin Che, I know you are well versed in the mysteries of the universe and the stars. This matter depends entirely on you."

“Your Majesty, I have a plan.” Lin Che smiled slightly and moved his fingertips back and forth on the map of the northern border.

Gazing at the location where the mountains and rivers and overlapping peaks formed a natural barrier, "The king's army needs to deploy defenses here."

"And Frost Gorge is a place that our army must not lose for even a moment."

The Imperial Master then cast his gaze toward the sky outside the window and said, "At midnight tonight, a strong wind will sweep across the north. This is a good opportunity for a surprise attack. Victory or defeat will depend on this one move."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gave orders to act according to Lin Che's border defense strategy.

At the same time, he immediately dispatched envoys to travel day and night to convey the imperial teacher's instructions to the areas in the north where the war was difficult to resolve.

On the northern border, the cold wind was howling and the soldiers seemed to be facing invisible enemies.

The beacon fire was raging, and the tense atmosphere was suffocating. At this moment, an urgent envoy came running, holding the handwritten order of the national teacher Lin Che. The generals gathered around, unfolded the secret order and took a look, their faces were all shocked.

"Such a strategy is unfathomable!"

One general exclaimed.

According to Lin Che's strategy, the soldiers quickly deployed to defend Su Shuang Gorge. At the same time, the elite cavalry lurked in the area where the strong wind was expected to arrive.

The lone star shone, the night was silent. At the moment when everyone concentrated and held their breath, a burst of silver light came over the river, followed by a howling wind like a mountain, covering up all movement.

"Attack!"

The general swung his sword and gave the order, and the cavalry was like wolves in the wind, taking advantage of the weather and launching an unexpected surprise attack.

The battle began, the stars became bright at midnight, and with the help of Lin Che's astronomical predictions, the Ming army seized the initiative on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the Ming soldiers took advantage of the terrain, moved with the wind, and launched a fierce attack when the enemy was unprepared. The northern nomadic peoples were panicked and unable to organize an effective resistance.

Just like that, within just one hour, the Ming army defeated the larger force with a smaller one, cleverly using the dual advantages of geography and astronomy to repel the invasion.

The news of the victory in the war soon spread back to the capital, causing a sensation in the court. The heroic deeds of the soldiers moved everyone, and the wisdom and courage of the national teacher Lin Che made people gasp in admiration.

When Zhu Yuanzhang received the good news in the imperial study, he couldn't help laughing.

"Master, I was right about you!"

The border issue was settled, and Lin Che's outstanding military achievements enhanced the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

The national teacher took it calmly, for him, this was just part of his responsibility, protecting this land and its people was the only thing he pursued in his life.

Libra's days are like the morning glow of the slowly rising sun, gentle and dazzling.

The colorful clouds above the capital city stretched out their long bodies, as if they were auspicious beasts cruising in the sky, showing peace and tranquility to the world.

The streets and alleys of Daming were full of stories about the heroic deeds of the Imperial Master Lin Che, and people were full of praise for him.

"The Imperial Master is mighty, and His Majesty is wise and cares about the world. With these two in charge, the Ming Dynasty will surely last forever!"

In the market, people sat under a towering old tree, drinking new tea and discussing the wisdom of Lin Che and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's praise for Lin Che's achievements was no longer limited to the grand palace of the court, but was conveyed to the hearts of every citizen who could read through the immortal stone tablets along the road.

The stone tablet stood on the most prominent square in the capital, and the elegant regular script praised Lin Che's glorious life and endless merits to the world.

"After reading the inscription, I actually felt my blood boiling! The Imperial Master is as majestic as a mountain, truly an extraordinary person. With such a gentleman assisting us, the fortunes of our Ming Dynasty will be limitless."

The old man who was looking up at the inscription sighed.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial garden, there was still a wave of voices, but the heated discussion here was directly directed at the imperial teacher Lin Che himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily at Lin Che, who was dressed simply in front of him.

Imperial Master, I erected a monument to honor your contributions, not just to make you famous, but to let the people know that national peace is the result of our joint efforts.

Lin Che stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, stroking his long beard with his hand, revealing a slightly bitter smile;
"Your Majesty, I am only fulfilling my duty and have no other request. If it were not for your majesty's wisdom, how could I have performed my duties?"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Lin Che on the shoulder and spoke firmly:
"National Master, although you do not seek fame, I want you to become a monument of the Ming Dynasty. Your wisdom and strength are my shoulders and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty."
