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

Chapter 616 Ming Dynasty Observatory

When the old farmer saw that it was the imperial teacher, he bowed hurriedly with a look of worry on his face.

"Master Imperial Master, you are right. God doesn't seem to be very kind to us this year. We, the common people, are worried and can't sleep at night."

"Don't worry, there will be a turnaround this year."

Lin Che smiled slightly, with a brilliant look in his eyes.

"I have calculated according to the astronomical phenomena that timely rain will fall soon. When the rivers and streams recover, there will be a good harvest."

The old farmer immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, and other people present also came over.

What the national master said in person is naturally much more reliable than what those ordinary quacks say.

As expected, within a few days of Lin Che's prediction, a shower of sweet dew fell from the sky, moistening the farmland. The farmers who had been frowning due to the drought began to feel hopeful about the future.

Lin Che’s reputation was not only unattainable among the nobles, but he also gradually gained immense trust and respect among the common people.

After this disaster, he used concrete actions to make the people look up to the stars again and wait for her guidance.

This move was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and rumors spread throughout the capital. The imperial teacher had a far-sighted vision, lowered the expectations of the people, and was resourceful, worthy of being a wise monarch between heaven and earth.

Gradually, the people who had always admired Lin Che now regarded him as a hero in their hearts. With kindness and admiration, they began to magnify the image of this national teacher and spread his stories throughout the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang also heard about Lin Che's behavior. He sat in the Golden Throne Hall, gently stroking the dragon-patterned armrest, his eyes full of approval.

"Lin Che, I know you can care about the world."

"I am assured of the hearts of the common people."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. As for the governance philosophy, I dare not be selfish. The people of the world are all my concern."

Lin Che's words were sonorous and powerful, but without any pretense.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled with satisfaction. "Lin Che, I regard you as a minister of state. In the future, I will use your unique ability to wipe out all evil in the court affairs."

Lin Che smiled slightly, and this smile contained great wisdom and courage.

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to fulfill your mission."

Therefore, with this series of measures, Lin Che not only restored the people's trust in him, but also strengthened Zhu Yuanzhang's affirmation of him.

Under the enormous pressure of rumors, they jointly created one amazing story after another, and these stories are all engraved in the glorious history of the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Che, this name seemed to have become the most dazzling star, attracting the attention of countless admirers.

His every move heralded the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and his thoughts and wisdom were deeply rooted in the blood of this land.

Deep inside the magnificent imperial palace, Lin Che was sitting at a rosewood table in front of the imperial study, his brows slightly furrowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in with a brisk step, a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a certain extraordinary sharpness.

"Lin Che, I have an important task for you to complete." Zhu Yuanzhang's words implied his full trust in the imperial teacher.

Lin Che raised his head slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "Your Majesty, please give your orders."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, as if to make sure there were no extra ears eavesdropping, and then said in a deep voice: "The Ming Dynasty must have its own observatory. I hope to use the stars to figure out the will of heaven and grasp the fortunes of the Gu family."

"Master, this is a historic undertaking. I trust no one but you."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were firm, and his words were filled with unquestionable determination. Lin Che's heart moved when he heard this. He had a deep interest in astronomy and unique research. This was a good opportunity to display his talents.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly and agreed: "Your Majesty, I am willing to do my best to help the emperor observe the celestial phenomena and master the mysteries of the universe."

With the full support of Zhu Yuanzhang, the construction of the first observatory in the Ming Dynasty, the Xingchen Observatory, began like a thunderbolt.

An observatory rose from the ground at a miraculous speed.

Lin Che used his talents and power to work day and night to build the foundation of this great cause that would last for thousands of years.

Not only that, Lin Che himself also devoted himself to the design and manufacture of advanced astronomical instruments.

He spent long nights shuttling between the various construction sites of Xingchen Tower, studying details on the drawings from time to time.

Every detail must be carefully considered and refined.

He invented the revolutionary telescope, which instantly made Ming Dynasty's astronomical observation technology one of the world's most advanced.

He also designed a new type of spirit level that could accurately measure the altitude of stars, which was unique at that time.

Under Lin Che's skillful hands, the Xingchen Terrace continued to improve, and its influence gradually expanded to the court and the academic community.

The court officials admired the talent of the imperial teacher, and the scholars also nodded in praise of his achievements in astronomy.

However, beneath this admirable aura of wisdom, there are also undercurrents.

Some people are jealous of Lin Che's achievements, while others are worried that Zhu Yuanzhang will strengthen his rule through the observatory.

Therefore, between the imperial power and the shining glory, some powerful officials began to act secretly.

He wanted to find clues in this new thing to discredit Lin Che's reputation.

“Lin Che, the establishment of your Star Terrace seems to have touched the hearts of some restless people.”

One day, among the civil and military officials, an old minister was whispering with a worried look on his face.

Lin Che smiled slightly. He had never been afraid of the attacks from the court, so he responded calmly: "Since ancient times, new things have to experience the impact of old ideas. This is just the pain of growing up."

However, the development of things was far more complicated than what Lin Che said. During a palace discussion, a young upstart bravely stood up and challenged Lin Che's authority.

He attacked Lin Che for using the observatory to win people's hearts and minds in an attempt to control destiny.

"National Master, aren't you trying to connect the various sects and use the stars to influence the beliefs of the people of the world?"

The upstarts' sharp words are like a sharp sword that pierces the heart.

There was an uproar in the court, and everyone's eyes turned to Lin Che.

National Master Lin Che stood up calmly and spoke in a deep voice: "The purpose of building an observatory is to explore the mysteries of nature and pass on the way of heaven to the world. If you want to win people's hearts, I, Lin Che, have been thinking hard all day long. I only hope that the people will no longer be confused by the fog of astronomical phenomena and live a stable life."

Before Lin Che finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already drawn his sword, with the aura of a king.

He pointed his sword at the young upstart and said, "As the emperor, I must consider the safety of the world. I already know what the Imperial Master has done. You who are making wild remarks, do you intend to destroy me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court fell silent. Even the young upstart who had accused Lin Che turned pale and kept taking several steps back.
