Chapter 672 Conspirators Lin Che's name once again became a legend passed down in the Ming Dynasty and even in neighboring countries. The capital was a place filled with history and power, where every word and action could affect the future of the Ming Dynasty. In this turbulent era, the imperial preceptor Ling Chi, like a calm discipline, guarded the stability of the Ming Dynasty. A rebellion conspiracy that had been prepared for several years was like a lurking poisonous snake, quietly hiding deep in the court. This plan was cunning and dangerous, and the participants included some senior officials and nobles in the court. There are even spies from foreign countries. They have only one purpose, which is to seize the opportunity to overthrow Zhu Yuanzhang's rule and reshuffle the forces in the court so that they can hold more power and status. Imperial Master, is this true as you said? In the imperial study of the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was deep, his expression was serious, and the worry between his brows was clearly visible. Yes, Your Majesty. At this time, holding Wang Xie, Lin Che's voice was calm and firm, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. I have been secretly investigating for several months, and all the evidence points to the existence of this conspiracy. Zhu Yuanzhang clenched the door in his hand. The autumn breeze outside the window was refreshing, but in this bean-sized imperial study, it seemed as if time had frozen. This matter involves a lot of people, what should we do? Lin Che walked to the window and looked into the distance, as if looking for an answer. It is not a good idea to alert the enemy. We need to act cautiously and destroy it in one fell swoop. In the following few days, the reputation of the two Jins in the capital seemed normal on the surface. However, under this calm surface, Lin Che was busy. He not only had to supervise the Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies to search everywhere, but Tan also had to ensure that there would be no leakage of all this to avoid unnecessary chaos and panic as usual. One night, Lin Che gathered a small group of absolutely complete Jinyiwei and Dongchang elites to have a secret talk in the National Master's Mansion. Everyone, this action is extraordinary. Each of you must be prepared to charge and remember not to leave a trace. Lin Che was expressionless, but his tone was full of unquestionable majesty. At the time of this secret meeting, the conspirators were discussing the final plan in a secret mansion. They thought that the plan was well-planned and there would be no mistakes. However, just as they were about to adjourn, they suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then the door was opened with a bang. Lin Che appeared in the room like a ghost with a group of Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies. How did you find this place? A conspirator asked in a trembling voice, his face pale. Under the vast network of the sky, where is absolutely safe? Lin Che responded lightly. His voice was not loud, but it made everyone feel a sense of oppression. Then, Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies quickly subdued everyone. During this process, Lin Che stood quietly aside without taking action, but his calm and outstretched eyes made everyone present afraid. Afterwards, this large group of conspirators were secretly escorted to the deepest dungeon in the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the action and personally issued an edict to commend Ling Chi and his team. "Master, I am so worried with you here," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a look of trust and admiration for Lin Che in his eyes. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I have only contributed a little." Lin Che responded lightly, but his eyes revealed his deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty. The magnificent Phoenix Inn was silent. Li Xun stood in the hall, his quilt like a pine tree, his eyes were firm, but his heart was turbulent. In front of him was a minister in a vermilion official robe with a jade seal hanging around his waist, Zhao Quan, a person with a very high position in the court. His words and deeds have long influenced the direction of the court. Annan envoy Li Xun, this minister heard that Annan's trade is frequent today, and the flow of goods is prosperous. Zhao Quan's voice is cold. There seems to be calculation in his eyes, but it is precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty firmly controls Annan's trade, and the interests of our Ming Dynasty are paramount. Li Xun's expression condensed after hearing this, and responded: Lord Zhao, Annan and Ming Dynasty have fresh cream consumption, trade exchanges, and promote the welfare of the two countries. The restriction of the country may harm the interests of both parties. Interests? Zhao Quan sneered, is the prosperity of Annan based on your Li Xun's strength alone? Or is it not dragging down the blessing of the Ming Dynasty? His tone is full of disdain and provocation. This remark is not only a belittlement of Li Xun, but also a direct challenge to Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Li Xun was Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, and his status and influence were also promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang. Just as the two were confronting each other, a peaceful voice cut into the solemn atmosphere. If it was according to what Lord Zhao said, it might violate the subordinates' leniency to others and different ways of defending against the enemy. It was Lin Che, the national teacher. He was not as good as in the hall. He looked calm and his steps were steady. Zhao Quan was shocked when he saw this. Facing the national teacher Lin Che, he did not dare to be careless at all. He even felt a little dreadful in his heart because this person was very important. National teacher Lin Che, I wonder what you think about this matter. Zhao Quan's experience made his tone seem respectful. Lin Che smiled lightly, his tone calm but not without brilliance. Lord Zhao, the trade between Ming and Annan not only damages the interests of Ming, but promotes the economic prosperity of both sides. If the trade is stopped because of the rift, it may make people think that the Ming Dynasty is petty and not in the national interest. After hearing this, Li Xun felt relieved. He knew that with the national teacher Lin Che coming forward, he didn't need to worry too much. Zhao Quan's face changed slightly, knowing that he had already implemented this contest. Lin Che's prestige and wisdom made it difficult for him to refute. Lin Che continued, in fact, at this time, the Ming Dynasty and its allies are prosperous. If the court can formulate a more reasonable trade policy, it can not only protect the encouragement of Japan, but also maintain peace with friendly countries. Isn't it beautiful? Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this, and greatly appreciated Lin Che's explanation. Zhao Quan entered the room with a case and a team, and it was worth retreating silently. The new trade policy formulated by the national teacher not only skyrocketed the power of the Ming Dynasty, but also strengthened the friendly relations with Annan. Li Xun took the opportunity to consolidate his position in Changting. This time, not only did he die in battle, but also Lin Che's style of wisdom and handling ability. With his prestige and wisdom, he defuses an internal power struggle that could have had an adverse impact on the Ming Dynasty. Every time Lin Che takes action, he demonstrates his extraordinary strength and hidden power, which makes his position in the Ming Dynasty more solid and he is respected by Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers in the court.

In the Minister's Hall of the Ming Dynasty, the candlelight flickered, illuminating the faces of every minister in the hall, either brightly or dimly, and the air was filled with an indescribable tension. (End of this chapter)
