Chapter 568 Controversy between the government and the opposition The calm expression on Lin Che's face did not change: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country has now crossed the Ming Dynasty's bottom line. It would be too weak for us to endure any longer. The Japanese country's move just gives us a reason to suppress them. We must make them pay the price." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were solemn. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Master, I will leave this matter to you. You will handle this case." Lin Che nodded solemnly and accepted the order given by Zhu Yuanzhang. He knew in his heart that this was a major decision. This matter was undoubtedly a crucial link for the future development of Ming Dynasty. After Lin Che discussed with Zhu Yuanzhang, he sent envoys to the Japanese country to declare to the Japanese country that the Ming Dynasty had listed the Japanese country as an enemy country and would use its power to attack the Japanese country in the future. …… At this time, a tragic rent was going on on Chang'an Street, and Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply worried about the impact such a bad scene would have on the country's stability. As the news of the Japanese pirate Lingchi's execution spread, the food market entrance of Chang'an Street suddenly became noisy. People rushed to the street one after another, staring at the executions of Japanese pirates Lingchi with wide eyes. There were many discussions, and some indignant voices gradually sounded. "Look, those Japanese pirates, Qilin, and the people of Ming Dynasty finally ended up like this. They really deserved it." "That's right, cruel beasts, they dare to invade my Ming Dynasty's border, they will not die a good death." "Such a dog slave deserves to die like this."

The people shook their heads and sighed, with anger and grief on their faces, and the sufferings of those years suddenly came to their hearts. Among the crowd, an old man complained angrily: "These Japanese pirates, trying to invade, dare to provoke our Ming Dynasty, but they should have been suppressed long ago." Another middle-aged man said disdainfully: "These beasts bully our people on the coast of the Ming Dynasty. It is appropriate to deal with them like this. I hope their death can give us peace." On the other side, a group of young people were discussing lively: 'Look, this is the majesty of our Ming Dynasty. No one can act arrogantly. ' "Yes, our Ming Dynasty is absolutely inviolable." A young man had no choice but to say. There was a lot of discussion at the food market on Chang'an Street, and everyone expressed great barbarism and indignation at the late execution of the Japanese pirates. They seemed to be able to feel the power and majesty of their country. In the face of provocation from foreign enemies, the courage and determination shown by Ming Dynasty made people extremely proud. This performance of late execution was not only a punishment for the death row prisoners, but also a punishment for the entire country. And a powerful force that the people show to the outside world. Elsewhere, in a teahouse, several literati were discussing what was happening in front of them. "The Japanese pirates deserved their fate." "These Japanese pirates who invaded our country, Ming Dynasty, finally received the punishment they deserved." "Well, as the saying goes, murderers deserve their own evil. This is the result of their own doing." They drank tea, looked at the crowds on the street, and talked about the scene in front of them. At the same time, these people were also discussing among some wealthy families. "Looking at it, I heard recently that the Japanese pirates were executed at the Caishikou of Chang'an Street. It's really satisfying." A rich man with a beard said. "Indeed, they bullied the people of Ming Dynasty, and it was natural for them to execute Lingchi." The young wealthy businessman named Wangzhi said. "Not many. Getting rid of such villains as soon as possible can be regarded as washing away the shame of our Ming Dynasty." Another official said with deep relief. Some nobles and literati were increasingly excited about the execution of these Japanese pirates, as if everything in front of them was the outcome they expected. However, not everyone was satisfied and happy with this scene. In a corner of the capital, there was a respected man named Hangren who was worried about this scene. "This is really too cruel." The businessman sighed, his face looking a little haggard under the dim light. "Who knows what kind of suffering they suffered, but they ended up like this." The merchant's guard expressed his dissatisfaction.

"You are right, such a punishment is really appalling." The businessman frowned and said solemnly. In the royal palace, in the royal study. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was sitting on the dragon throne, with secret impeachment memorials placed on top of the imperial court. His brows were furrowed and his heart was full of anxiety. In the past few days, the court has been very uneasy. Lin Che, the national master, openly proposed to execute the Japanese pirates in the court, which caused a lot of criticism. At this moment, a guard came in hurriedly, saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor wishes to see you." "Xuan." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a bit tired, and he seemed unable to get rid of the troubles at hand for a while. Lin Che stepped into the Imperial Study Room respectfully. He had a calm face and extraordinary demeanor. Over the years, he had become an indispensable and important figure in the court because of his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and his intelligence. "Sir, you also know that there is chaos in the Celestial Hall these days. Your proposal has received a lot of criticism. Some people even made a fuss about this matter in an attempt to sow discord between the two countries." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Che seriously. "Your Majesty, the courtier's words are interpreted for the sake of national security, and everything I do is for the benefit of the country." Lin Che replied without changing her expression, with a firmness in her tone. "Sir, haven't you considered that such remarks will cause dissatisfaction in Japan?" Zhu Yuanzhang said seemingly rationally. "Your Majesty, the Japanese invasion is unforgivable. If we had not used force to suppress the Japanese pirates, why would the Ming Dynasty be so timid? How could we change national policy just because of a few whispers?" Lin Che's voice was firm and decisive. Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath: "Sir, you know that this issue involves far more than one or two countries, but the situation in the entire southeast of Ming Dynasty. We cannot lose the balance of the entire southeast just because of impulse." Lin Che's expression remained calm: "Your Majesty's words make sense. I will think about it carefully." "Okay, you can go down for now." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, signaling Lin Che to leave. In the next few days, many courtiers went to the court to write letters, impeaching Lin Che for being unkind and intending to stir up disputes between the two countries. Each impeachment gave Zhu Yuanzhang a headache. These situations were unprecedented for the Ming Dynasty. Troubled. Lin Che also knew that these petitions for impeachment were a major test for the stance and beliefs he represented. In order to appease the worries of the courtiers, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the ministers for several days to listen to their opinions one by one. On matters of normal importance, he spared no effort and patiently listened to the appeals of each courtier. He knows very well that the destiny and security of a country require prudent and steady leadership. At this challenging moment, Lin Che's mood was also heavy and complicated. The turmoil in the court, everything made his responsibility even more difficult to ignore. (End of this chapter)
