[No System] [Embroidered Uniform Guard] [Master of Medicine and Martial Arts] [Climbing the Official Ladder] [Mystery Solving and Political Schemes]
In the seventh year of the Tianqi era, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian was still keeping a low profile in his manor, secretly watching the movements of the court.
He noticed that Lin Mo, a junior officer in the Northern Pacification Office, was a little different.
When the Wei residence was supposedly haunted and everyone was terrified to talk about it, he solved the case in a day.
When plague struck the imperial prison and everyone avoided it, he cleared it out in ten days.
When the eunuch faction held sway and everyone courted Wei Zhongxian, he quietly passed messages to the prince's manor.
After Chongzhen ascended the throne, the first thing he did was summon Lin Mo.
"Lin, I want you to take charge of the Northern Pacification Office and keep an eye on the court for me."
From then on, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had a new legend.
He took charge of the imperial prison, quelled factional strife, and settled border threats. Amid the turbulent tide of a chaotic age, he proceeded one careful step at a time, rising to the very pinnacle of power in the Great Ming.
