One of them was the chief military aircraft and the other was the second seat. However, Zhu Yicheng asked, according to convention and ranking, Shi Yi should naturally answer first, so Jiang Jin just made a statement of listening but did not speak.

Shi Yizhi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Emperor, I have discussed this matter with the Military Affairs Office just now. Because this matter is serious, I dare not be proficient, so I came to see the Emperor..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and said, "I will talk about these later. Let's talk about your opinions on discussion, or your own opinions."

"yes!"

Shi Yi responded directly, and at the same time, he made a teaser and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think there are three things that are necessary for this matter."

"Oh, those three points, tell me."

"One: I think that since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, many of the nobles in the former Ming Dynasty have emerged in recent years. Some are impersonators, some are traitors who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and some have been later, but there is no evidence to prove their identity. These account for the vast majority. In addition, the titles of our Ming Dynasty are different from those of the former Ming Dynasty, and those who have no meritorious meritoriousness have not been accepted. Therefore, the court has not yet recognized and restored the inheritance of the old titles."

Shi Yizhi's words made everyone nod. He was right. Since the Ming Dynasty restored its country, the honors of the former Ming Dynasty have not resumed their inheritance until now. Zhu Yicheng has selfish intentions in this matter. The title of the Ming Dynasty is not a cabbage, and can be given casually.

Those who follow Zhu Yicheng to restore the country will naturally be awarded titles, and those who are brave and meritorious in the soldiers can also be awarded titles, and even those who have outstanding achievements in civil servants can also be awarded titles. Apart from these, prestigious villagers among the people, or big businessmen who have made contributions to state affairs can also be awarded titles.

Of course, the last two are usually only granted titles of civil servants, or at most, low-ranking titles of viscount and barons. Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty does not attach great importance to titles as in the previous Ming Dynasty, it also has a set of strict rules. Zhu Yicheng, who should be granted, will definitely grant titles, but even if those who cannot be granted are in a high position, Zhu Yicheng will not give titles casually.

"Second: The Duke of Qian was a noble honor in the previous dynasty and had great contributions to the country. The former Duke of Qian, Duke Tianbo, died for his country, and everyone in the world knew his loyalty. But in my opinion, the ancestors were ancestors, but later generations were descendants. The court's inheritance rules for titles were different from those of the previous dynasty. The hereditary system of titles has been changed, even the royal family, let alone other titles? Even if the court remembers the merits of its ancestors, I don't think it is necessary to restore the Duke of Qian, and give it a viscount or baron."

Zhu Yicheng looked at Shi Yizhi without any objection and continued to ask, "What about the third one?"

"Third..." Shi Yizhi thought for a while and then said: "I think this trend cannot be strong. If there are similar matters in the local area, how can the court deal with it? If it becomes a convention, where is the rule of the court?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng understood Shi Yizhi's meaning and immediately laughed.

It seems that Shi Yizhi had an objection to this matter, but because the matter is not small, he couldn't directly object, and it also involved Yue Zhongqi's side. As the Minister of Military Affairs, especially the Chief Minister of Military Affairs, Shi Yizhi felt naturally uncomfortable.

"What Shi Qing said is not unreasonable." Zhu Yicheng nodded, then looked at Jiang Jin, as if waiting for him to speak.

Jiang Jin calmed down and looked at Zhang Ran who had been sitting aside, then bowed and said, "What Master Shi said is very true. This matter needs to be very cautious. However, I think that since Lord Zhang is here, and the memorial of Yue Shuai also mentioned that the descendants of the Duke of Qian were involved in the Jinyiwei. I wonder how the Jinyiwei found the investigation?

As soon as these words were said, Shi Yizhi was stunned. He had only thought about other things just now, but he didn't expect this one to come out.

"Zhang Ran!"

"I'm here!"

"Tell me."

"I obey the order."

Zhang Ran bowed and then said, "Emperor, Lord Shi, Lord Jiang, the Jinyiwei is indeed involved in this matter. According to the Jinyiwei's return, this is what happened..."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran carefully talked about the investigation results of the Jinyiwei, including some details and evidence, and emphasized that Mu Shan not only had the python robe given by Emperor Yongli, but also the genealogy of the Duke of Qian was in hand.

It's fine for the former, after all, a python robe may be fake or it may be obtained from somewhere, while the latter is enough to prove Mu Shan's identity.

After all, genealogy is not a random thing. In ancient times, this kind of thing was equivalent to the household registration books of later generations. It also had private seals of the Qian State public in history. At the end, the names of Mushan and his ancestors, his father and Mushan himself were written.

"Is this genealogy authentic? " Jiang Jin asked.

"It's true." Zhang Ran replied: "But it will take some time to send it to the capital to see the real thing. But the genealogy has been verified by the Jinyiwei to be true."

"So is there a possibility? Where did this genealogy come from here in Mushan? Is it suspected of impersonation?" Jiang Jin asked again.

Zhang Ran shook his head: "The Jinyiwei has also verified this matter. According to the Jinyiwei's verification, Mushan's ancestor and his father are indeed found, and other evidences have been found in the local area. There are physical evidence in these evidences, and some people have proved them, but these cannot be fake."

When Jiang Jin heard this, he nodded slightly and turned to Shi Yi beside him and said, "Mr. Shi, do you have anything to ask again?"

Shi Yizhi shook his head silently. Zhang Ran said so clearly. Moreover, the Jinyiwei is not an ordinary department. This is the largest intelligence agency in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei could not say that he controlled all the information, but it was easy to investigate one thing. Moreover, Zhang Ran was different from others. He was Zhu Yicheng's confidant. Even if he was the chief military minister, as long as Zhang Ran was willing, he would not give anyone face, even if he was Shi Yizhi.

Of course, Zhang Ran would not be stupid enough to do such things. He is usually low-key but has strong abilities, otherwise Zhu Yicheng would not have always trusted him. Since Zhang Ran said that he had already verified this matter, it means that Mu Shan's identity is real.

At this moment, Shi Yizhi felt a little passive, especially when Jiang Jin seemed to respect him very much on the surface, but in fact he secretly made himself lose his points in front of the saint. Thinking of this, Shi Yizhi felt that he had to say something, and immediately bowed to Zhu Yicheng: "Emperor, since the Jinyiwei has verified it, then in my opinion, the descendants of the Duke of Qian should be true. Other nobles are fine, and the Duke of Qian must be rewarded for his death. I suggest that he be named the earl and issue an order to be placed in the capital."

Just now, Shi Yizhi kept saying that it was enough to be a viscount or even a baron, but now he suddenly changed his words to be a count. When he heard this, Zhu Yicheng laughed again.
