The first thousand two hundred chapters

Jiang Jin thought for a while, then picked up the knife on the table to remove the fire seal, and then opened the sealed file.

When he saw the contents on the document, Jiang Jin's eyes shrank slightly, and he also understood why this thing was not sent by the government yamen, but by the military and the Jinyiwei.

"Go and invite Lord Zhuang and Lord He here." Jiang Jin thought for a while, and looked at the military aircraft walking path that was still standing beside him.

The military aircraft responded quickly and turned around and left. After a while, Zhuang Yan and He Xianzu, who were working next to him, came together.

"Duke Jiang!" After entering the house, the two bowed to Jiang Jin.

"Please sit down, please, two." Jiang Jin stood up and returned the greeting, and then invited them to sit down.

After sitting down, Zhuang Yan asked, "Is there anything big? Is it so anxious that Mr. Chiang calls us here?"

Jiang Jin nodded and said, "It's a big deal, but this is not a local matter, and it doesn't matter to Liaodong and northwest. Please come here because you just received an urgent report sent by Yunnan. You can take a look first."

As he said that, Jiang Jin handed over the thing, Zhuang Yan took it and opened it, and looked closely with He Xianzu beside him. After a few glances, the two were a little stunned, and couldn't help but exchanged glances, and then continued to look down.

Jiang Jin waited quietly for them to finish reading it before he asked, "What do you think about this?"

Zhuang Yan then understood why Jiang Jin came to him. As the Minister of Military Affairs, they knew very well that Gao Jin was the Minister of Military Affairs. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty intended that Gao Jin destroy Myanmar and replaced it. Others did not know why they were Minister of Military Affairs.

Over the past year, Yunnan has privately provided material support to Gao Jin's ministry, which was also a deliberate task by the Military Affairs Office according to Zhu Yicheng's request. Now Gao Jin's ministry is preparing to officially attack Myanmar, which is not a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty.

But now Gao Jin made a request to the court through Yunnan, which actually asked the Ming Dynasty to help them solve the Western forces in Myanmar to ensure that Gao Jin's military operations in Myanmar can be successful.

Even in its content, Gao Jin attached great importance to this, saying that if the Ming Dynasty could not solve this problem, he must consider the consequences of attacking Myanmar. If the risk is too high, Gao Jin may even cancel the preparations that have been made.

Zhuang Yan is not only the Minister of Military Affairs, but also the Chief of Staff. He Xianzu is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and also has a great influence on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The identities and scope of authority of these two people are the best candidates to deal with the matter. In addition, Jiang Jin, the Chief Minister of Military Affairs, was so he specially invited them to discuss.

Now Jiang Jin asked them what they think, whether it was Zhuang Yan or He Xianzu, who dared to define this matter? Although Myanmar is just a small country, Myanmar is very different from other small countries.

Let’s not talk about the deep hatred between the Ming Dynasty and Myanmar. In the eyes of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, Myanmar’s destruction was necessary. The two major culprits of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty were: one was the Qing Dynasty and the other was Myanmar. In any case, the Ming Dynasty must be destroyed.

As the leader of the rebel army before, Gao Jin is still granted title from the Ming Dynasty. Although it is just a symbol, it belongs to the Han power. In addition, Gao Jin's special identity of the White Lotus Sect, the Ming Dynasty deliberately opened his mind to him, allowing him to control Myanmar and destroy his country.

However, because of the power of Western countries in southern Myanmar, Gao Jin has concerns about attacking Myanmar, which is not an exaggeration in theory. However, Gao Jin asked someone to give such a gift not only to explain the situation to the Ming Dynasty, but also to use this to gain benefits from the Ming Dynasty.

All three of them are smart, so how could they not understand? So it is extremely inappropriate for anyone to make a decision.

"This matter is serious, in my opinion, it is better to submit the emperor to decide." He Xianzu was an old official, so he naturally refused to take responsibility himself, so he immediately suggested.

Zhuang Yan thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Duke Chiang, this matter is indeed serious. The Military Affairs Office may not be able to make decisions. Lord He is right. For such a thing, it is better to report it to the emperor as soon as possible."

Seeing that both of them were in this attitude, Jiang Jin nodded slightly: "Since you said that, let's go to the palace with me to ask for a meeting."

As he said that, Jiang Jin stood up and walked out without waiting for their answers.

At this time, neither Zhuang Yan nor He Xianzu understood Jiang Jin's true intention. In fact, Jiang Jin knew that such a major event could not be decided by the authority of the Military Affairs Office and had to be reported to Zhu Yicheng. However, as the chief military officer, he could not decide to report it without authorization, so he first brought Zhuang Yan and He Xianzu to test the other party's opinions.

After all, if this matter really needs to be implemented, Zhuang Yan and He Xianzu must be one of the responsible persons, so there is no problem with Jiang Jin's approach. Then when they submit it to Zhu Yicheng themselves, Jiang Jin can naturally agree and easily complete the procedure.

Zhuang Yan and He Xianzu looked at each other, and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. At the same time, they were secretly impressed by Jiang Jin's methods. Since that's the case, they would follow Jiang Jin to the palace. Anyway, this matter came to Zhu Yicheng, and I'm afraid that he would not go now. Zhu Yicheng would summon them to question later.

The location of the Military Affairs Office was originally close to the palace gate. According to the previous settings in Nanjing, there was a separate passage from the Military Affairs Office to the palace, and it was much easier for the Military Affairs Office to ask for the emperor than ordinary ministers. So when Jiang Jin entered the palace according to the procedures and met Zhu Yicheng, the gate connecting the passage opened shortly after.

Jiang Jin was in front, Zhuang Yan and He Xianzu were behind, and the three of them walked through the long alley and then passed another door. After passing this place, they were the real big inside. The three of them were familiar with this road. They followed the eunuch leading the way toward the side hall where Zhu Yicheng usually worked. They arrived at the place in about a stick of incense.

When they arrived, Zhu Yicheng was drinking tea.

On the huge desk, there were several piles of memorials and documents, some of which were read by Zhu Yicheng, but most of them were still not processed.

As an emperor, this job is really not easy, and it is not something that ordinary people can do. Of course, Zhu Yicheng can also hand over all government affairs to the people below to deal with, and be a free emperor himself, but this is extremely unfavorable to the control of the Ming Dynasty and the control of imperial power. How could Zhu Yicheng do this? So no matter how tired he is, he must firmly control the empire to a certain extent.

The three of them entered, Jiang Jin led the way to salute Zhu Yicheng. Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and asked them to sit down, and then asked them what they wanted.
