Chapter 632 The Mighty National Preceptor After the morning court session ended in a harmonious atmosphere, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Lin Che to the imperial two people talked alone in the imperial study. "Imperial Master, I have issued an edict that your contributions and achievements will be rewarded. No one in the court can compare to you." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was mixed with pride and expectation. Lin Che bowed slightly, his expression indifferent: "Your Majesty, I am only in charge of the talismans and can only do so much. If it were not for your majesty's wisdom, how could the Ming Dynasty have ever been peaceful?" "All right." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to interrupt Lin Che's words, "There is no need for us to say these empty words. I invited you here today to discuss how to take the peace and prosperity of my Ming Dynasty to the next level." Lin Che's eyes flashed with deep thought, and he replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think that the reason why the Ming Dynasty can be as stable as a mountain in troubled times is because Your Majesty sets an example and the whole country is united. Although I have the power granted by Your Majesty, I need to work with everyone in the court to plan national policies in order to make the Ming Dynasty stronger." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, deeply agreeing: "Grandmaster, what I have conferred upon you is not excessive, I even think it is a little insufficient. You are not only accomplished in numerology and Taoism, but also outstanding in governing the country. It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have you as my assistant." The harmonious and warm atmosphere in the palace formed a sharp contrast with the cheers from the outside world. As soon as the news came out, the entire capital was in an uproar. The people were jubilant, and every household was celebrating the news that the court would hold a grand celebration for the imperial teacher Lin Che. Many civilians even spontaneously decorated the streets with lights and streamers.

Praise Lin Che's merits. Some even painted Lin Che as a mighty general, sitting on a tiger-skin throne, with a lifelike image. On the day of the celebration, Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing a dragon robe and looking majestic, stood on the high steps and announced Lin Che's achievements and wisdom to the officials and people gathered below the stage. Zhu Yuanzhang's voice echoed in the wide square: "The Imperial Master has quelled so many hidden dangers for our Great Ming, defeated the enemy, and cleverly broke through treacherous schemes. He is not only a profound Taoist master, but also a wise and important minister who governs the country and ensures its security. Today, I want to commend her contributions again in front of you, the people." Everyone shouted "Long live the national master" and their voices were deafening. The people, with tears in their eyes, were silently grateful in their hearts and felt fortunate to have such a wise king and such a intelligent national teacher. Lin Che was humble, smiling, holding a whisk, and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and the people in the audience one by one. His reputation reached its peak at this moment, and he became a true patriotic hero in people's hearts. After the celebration, Lin Che was given special rights and was able to handle all state affairs. However, he did not become proud and complacent because of this. Instead, he was more low-key and worked harder for the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of Lin Che's wisdom and humility that the Ming Dynasty was able to stabilize its borders, maintain internal peace, and prosper. As a result, Lin Che's name left a brilliant mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty. It’s late autumn in the capital. The yellow leaves danced in the slightly cool breeze, bringing a sense of desolation to the thousands of rooftops, but could not cover up the sounds coming and going in the Imperial Master's Mansion. Imperial Master Lin Che was dressed in a blue shirt. There was no trace of time in his eyes, which were still deep and bright, just like the day they first met. Lin Che put away the book in his hand and sighed softly: "In the mortal world, we must be loyal to our country day and night. How can we forget it when we are wandering in the world?" A confidant entered the study and said, "Master, there is a result." Lin Che nodded, a sharp look flashing in his eyes. "Fire, come and listen."

"There is no doubt that this is another rebellion." The confidant said in a heavy tone, "But this time, the target is the current emperor——" Before he finished speaking, Lin Che understood. He stood up gently and said sternly: "The power of kingship has always been what people want. Tell the emperor that I want to see him tonight." In the evening. The night in the palace is deep and mysterious. Lin Che and Zhu Yuanzhang had a secret conversation in the imperial study. Zhu Yuanzhang, as always, governed the country according to his own methods, but politics is like chess, and every move is related to the fate of the country. “What the rebels are planning this time is of great importance.” Lin Che said in a steady tone, “They actually want to mobilize the imperial guards and attack the palace at night.” "Imperial Master, I already know that I have already eliminated many of those who attempted to harm me." Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly, but the sharpness in his eyes could not break the gloom. “Your Majesty, don’t worry.” Lin Che looked calm, and while sipping his tea, he seemed to have made a plan. “This chaos gives me a chance to root it out.” Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and sighed, "Master, I trust you." That night. Imperial Master Lin Che had already set out. This was not the first time he had dealt with a rebellion, but he was able to hold his own every time. Even Zhu Yuanzhang could not figure out what method he would use. Lin Che walked slowly down the white marble steps, followed by a group of Jinyiwei who followed the Imperial Master without hesitation. He still looks stern and does his own thing, but it is the best portrayal of this moment. Imperial Master Lin Che walked along, muttering something to himself, his eyes twinkling not with stars but with calculations and the goal of defeating the enemy. In order to gain wisdom, he carefully sorted out the ins and outs of this rebellion. Looking for the truth from many tiny clues, just as he was thinking deeply, a subtle sound broke the silence of the night. Lin Che looked up and saw a shadow swaying in the night, as if someone was trying to approach. “Come out.” Lin Che’s voice was not loud, but it was extremely firm, as if it had the power to penetrate everything. As expected, the shadow stopped and a man walked out from the darkness. It was the rebel leader he had been looking for. "You have nowhere to run." Lin Che said it calmly. The traitor wanted to argue, but when he saw the row of Jinyiwei behind Lin Che, he shuddered all over and knew that he had unknowingly walked into the trap carefully laid by the national teacher. Lin Che looked at him expressionlessly, and gently turned the jade slip in his hand. The almost elusive spell and secret words quietly dissipated in the air. In this world, plotting to murder the emperor is treason and is punishable by death, but Lin Che is trying to protect the man sitting on the throne. Only then will they pursue the enemy to the end. No chance to repent. The arrest was ultimately smooth sailing, as none of the rebels escaped unharmed thanks to Lin Che's wisdom and strength. But he also returned to the palace and presented the captured rebels and the powerful officials implicated in them to Zhu Yuanzhang one by one. This time. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his cup high in the court and toasted Lin Che: "Master, how should I thank you for your unparalleled wisdom?"

Lin Che smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. The people of the world are all here for profit, but the Imperial Master keeps it in mind for the sake of loyalty." The ministers shouted in unison, "The Imperial Master is mighty!" (End of this chapter)
