Chapter 644 The Black Messenger
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

He could immediately see the practicality of the waterwheel, and other officials in the court were also whispering about it.

Obviously, he praised Lin Che's work highly.

Chai Jing's expression kept changing.

Although his work was beautiful, it was obviously inferior in terms of practicality. Lin Che's waterwheel undoubtedly won his heart.

“Lin Che, your work can be regarded as a national weapon!” Zhu Yuanzhang said with a satisfied smile.

Lin Che smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. I am willing to use what I have learned and what I can do for the country and for the benefit of the people."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately issued an order to popularize Lin Che's water wheels throughout the country to facilitate water supply for the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also generous in praising Chai Jing, "I appreciate the screen made by Chai Jing, and I also approve of your skills."

The praise was like a spring breeze blowing across Caijing's face. He was originally jealous, but after seeing Lin Che's generosity and broad-mindedness, he felt even more ashamed.

"Master, I am convinced of my defeat. Today I finally know what a true master is." Chai Jing leaned forward slightly, deeply impressed by Lin Che's wisdom and broad-mindedness.

When the dust settled on the competition, Ling Chi not only won the competition, but also won the respect and admiration of everyone present with his breadth of mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped down from the throne, Chai Jing bowed her head, and the whole place fell silent for a moment.

Only the wind blew through the corridors, as if conveying the wisdom and virtue of the imperial teacher.

The bright moon that night was exceptionally cool, as if it was meant to illuminate the Ming Dynasty's imperial teacher. Lin Che was not only a person of unique ingenuity, but also a magnanimous sage with a broad mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang was resting with his eyes closed in the imperial study. It was so quiet around him that he seemed to hear the dust of history settling. Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps and the cautious breathing of a palace maid broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master requests to see you." The maid lowered her head and spoke respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes and nodded, and Lin Che walked into the room.

He was wearing a simple blue shirt and looked exhausted, but he looked calm.

“Lin Che, what’s the emergency?” Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice was gentle and steady, revealing a calmness that was indifferent to worldly affairs.

The Imperial Master was silent for a moment, then said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading among the people, undercurrents are surging in the court, and foreign threats are waiting for an opportunity to strike. All these things are intertwined and becoming increasingly complicated."

A hint of coldness flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. The Ming Dynasty in his heart was as heavy as a ton of gold and could not tolerate any mist. Lin Che's words undoubtedly pierced the illusion of tranquility in his heart.

“Lin Che, what exactly is going on?” he asked in a deep voice.

The Imperial Master took a step forward, his expression slightly heavy, "I have already learned that there is an assassin lurking in the capital, and he seems to want to kill Your Majesty. Fortunately, I made arrangements in advance, and the assassin has been captured."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He understood that in this game of imperial power, every step could be the edge of a cliff. "Okay, Lin Che, I have never had any doubts about your loyalty and ability." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Che deeply, his eyes full of approval.

But the power struggle in the court is also a problem. The Imperial Master nodded, his face solemn: "Yes, in the court, competition is fierce and vicious fights are frequent. I have already started to prepare and intend to compile the "Examination Official Chart" to fully understand the situation of each official, with the intention of preventing trouble before it happens."

"Well, that's good too." Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

The captured assassin was a skilled craftsman who was angry at being exploited by court officials. He and his clan members behind him were blinded by greed and wanted to assassinate the emperor.

The implications of this matter are far-reaching, reaching to the core weaknesses of the country.

Lin Che, this contradiction is on one side of the court. On the other hand, the people suspect that the craftsmen did it on purpose. How can we calm them down? " Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and sighed.

He understood that the people's hearts could be used, but also could be feared.

The Imperial Master pondered, his expression calm, as if he had already made up his mind: "Your Majesty, the suspicions of the people need to be resolved with sincerity. I suggest that we build water conservancy projects around the capital to show the court's grace and ease the people's resentment. As for the affairs of the clan, I have already made secret arrangements."

Let them kill each other and reap what they sowed, and it will surely bring disaster to the court in the near future. This will not only test the governance of the court, but also be a big test of his thoughts on the people, and he knows it well.

The wisdom of this national teacher goes far beyond this.

There is naturally the ability to create great achievements in one's mind.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"Lin Che, I grant you the title of Water Conservancy Master and you are fully authorized to handle this matter."

The Imperial Master remained calm, but his true face seemed to reveal a hint of a smile behind the mask. He knew that this was a sign of Zhu Yuanzhang's respect for him, so of course he nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise and enlightened, and I will certainly not live up to your expectations."

Later, the water conservancy project was completed as scheduled, and peace was restored to the people. The thieves were wiped out amid the condemnation of the people, and the traitors in the tribe perished on their own in the infighting, and the craftsmen were also treated generously.

Their hostility gradually turned to gratitude.

Although Lin Che was behind the scenes, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang to stabilize the waves. In the capital, whether it was power struggles in the court or suspicions among the people, they were all turned into spring breeze under his wise response. The betrayal of the clan finally became dust. The hostility between the craftsmen was also turned into respect under his planning. In this turbulent Ming Dynasty, the national teacher Lin Che was like a skilled painter, using wisdom and courage to outline a more stable picture of the country stroke by stroke.

In the silent night, the Grandmaster can touch the most tender part of people's hearts, but in the study of National Master Lin Che, it is a different scene. He sits in the secret room, his eyes like two cold stars, filled with ominous light.

Late at night, the air was filled with a slight scent of damp earth, occasionally mixed with the crowing of roosters in the middle of the night. At this moment, the sudden visit of a messenger in black broke the silence.

“Report—” The black-clad messenger stepped into the Imperial Master’s study room, his voice low and urgent. Lin Che raised his head, signaling him not to be polite, his expression still calm, “Tell me, what’s the important matter that has caused you guys to panic?”

The messenger wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and responded anxiously: "Master, I just came back from the border, and an informant reported that a certain clan in Annan was secretly in contact with the Japanese pirates. It seems that something big is brewing."

This news was like a heavy bomb that exploded in the secret room. For Lin Che, even the slightest disturbance could turn into a huge wave that destroyed the solid fortress.

Moreover, this was true intelligence. He narrowed his eyes and quickly planned a countermeasure in his mind. On the road of political intrigue, he had never had the slightest hesitation or slackness.

"What is the situation? Does the Immortal have any further details?"

The messenger nodded. "The unknown dreamer said that the clan seemed to have some plans, but we have not learned of their specific actions."
