"I am guilty..."

Jiang Jin knelt in front of Zhu Yicheng and was frightened and frightened. In fact, the relationship between the monarch and ministers of the Ming Dynasty was relatively simple, not like that of the Qing Dynasty. If it were in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor was the master and all the ministers were slaves. As for those Han ministers, they did not even have the qualifications to be slaves. In front of the Qing emperor, no matter what your identity was, they would have to kowtow if they moved.

But this is not the case in the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty won’t talk about it now, let’s talk about the previous Ming Dynasty. In the former Ming emperor, the struggle between the ministers has never been cut off since the Ming Dynasty. In many cases, the power of the minister even surpassed the emperor, that is, the power of the minister has exceeded that of the emperor.

In order to counter and change this situation, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had no choice but to use eunuchs to develop a system of slandering the supervisors to criticize the redemption, thus forming a political characteristic of collusion between the emperor and the internal officials in order to compete for and balance. After the implementation of this system, the imperial power was at the same level as the two to control the government. The three also reached a delicate balance in this situation, so that the Ming Dynasty could even maintain the operation of the country without an emperor.

If this structure remained unchanged, perhaps Ming Dynasty would have overcome the difficulties in the past. Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen was stubborn and not only abandoned his martial arts, but also threw the Jinyiwei aside, which greatly boosted the power of his ministers and fierce party struggles, leading to the loss of control of power.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen finally understood, but unfortunately he understood it too late. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to scold the ministers before Chongzhen died. Even later historians did not deny that there were many reasons for the Ming Dynasty's demise, but the Ming Dynasty's demise was one of the important reasons.

Although Jiang Jin is not a military minister, he is also the most prominent figure in the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention his identity, even ordinary court officials just saluted when they saw Zhu Yicheng. But today he knelt in front of Zhu Yicheng in such a posture, and there is naturally a reason why he claimed to be guilty.

"Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you." Zhu Yicheng could see the reason why Jiang Jin did this at a glance, but as the emperor, he knew the reason, but he still had to leave the process he should go.

"I am not strict in the control of my subordinates. Although I have not caused any major mistakes, I am bound to blame him. I also ask the emperor to punish him." Jiang Jin did not stand up, but kowtowed and replied.

Zhu Yicheng sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I will punish you for half a year's salary."

Jiang Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief after such punishment and immediately thanked him.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about Jiang Yi who was in Ryukyu before. When Jiang Yi discovered Kim Jong-won's plan, he immediately found He Xianzu. Not only did he hand over all the things that Kim Jong-won gave him to He Xianzu, he also sent a urgent letter to Jiang Jin afterwards, and in the letter, he originally explained the whole story of the matter clearly.

After receiving this letter, Jiang Jin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat after reading it, and was afraid and angry and lucky.

What was annoyed was that Jiang Jin never expected that people would suffer from trouble at home. The Ryukyu ministers such as Kim Jong-won, who were far away from overseas, were so bold that they had put their ideas on him, almost putting themselves in trouble. If this was not something Jiang Yi was a little smart, if he had sent the letters and memorials directly to him, even if he didn't fall into Zhu Yicheng's hands, it would not be a trivial matter.

As an important official of the court and an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Jin was not an ordinary person. Zhu Yicheng knew the intention of Ryukyu, and he knew He Xianzu's intention there. In addition, the Jinyiwei and others were vegetarians? That is, Jin Zhengyuan and others did not know that Ryukyu has been eroded by these institutions and their every move was in the eyes of others. If Jiang Yi took this wrong step, the information would soon be placed in front of some people and he would be implicated.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi was so careful that he didn't get things bad. But even so, Jiang Jin did not dare to neglect at all. You should know that he has always targeted the Minister of Military Aircraft and even set his sights on the position of the chief military aircraft. If this matter cannot be completely resolved and eliminated, it will inevitably have an impact on his future.

This is also an important reason why Jiang Jin directly apologized to Zhu Yicheng for this. Now Zhu Yicheng has already opened his mouth and has put an end to the matter with a half-year salary fine. In this way, Jiang Jin can be regarded as getting rid of this matter, and no one will make a fuss about this matter in the future.

"Get up and sit and talk." Zhu Yicheng raised his hand and said.

After thanking him, Jiang Jin got up from the ground and sat on the stool that had been prepared for him.

"Since you have already understood the matter of Ryukyu, why not talk about it?"

Hearing Zhu Yicheng's question, Jiang Jin immediately said: "The small country of Ryukyu surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became accomplices of the tiger. The emperor was kind and did not hold him accountable afterwards. Instead, he sent Lord He to appease him and support his king, to stabilize the domestic situation and seek back the island in the north from Japan. In recent years, the maritime trade has been booming, and our Ming Dynasty has brought prosperity to Ryukyu. Now Ryukyu is very different from that year. It can be said that the country is rich and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jin suddenly changed his subject and showed anger on his face: "As the country of my parents, my Ming Dynasty supports Ryukyu in this way, but his country not only does not think of your kindness, but is a wolf in a bad mood. He is really shameful to do so. He should be a wolf in Zhongshan! According to my ministers' opinion, Ryukyu's country cannot be kept, and Prime Minister Jin Zhengyuan and others are even more ruthless. The rebellion is indeed solid. We should send troops to destroy the country and kill the clan!"

Jiang Jin gritted his teeth and seemed to be full of hatred for Kim Jong-yuan and even Ryukyu. Of course, Jiang Jin's words were politically correct. After all, he had known that Zhu Yicheng had always wanted to directly annex Ryukyu, so Ryukyu would sooner or later become a member of the Ming Dynasty. Now Kim Jong-yuan himself has caused trouble. Kim Jong-yuan is the prime minister, that is the trouble of Ryukyu. It is natural to destroy Ryukyu with this reason. This is famous for his troops. Even if other vassal states know that they will not say anything, and they can also achieve the purpose of annex Ryukyu.

Jiang Jin even considered that as long as Ryukyu is destroyed, Kim Jong-won must not be kept, and even those related to Kim Jong-won must be dealt with severely. Death is certain, and how to die is important. Only in this way can one breathe his anger.

However, after hearing Jiang Jin's words, Zhu Yicheng didn't say anything, but there was a mysterious smile on his face, and at the same time it seemed to be thinking about something.

The palace suddenly became quiet, and Jiang Jin didn't dare to ask, so he had to lower his head slightly to wait for Zhu Yicheng to speak, but after waiting for a while, Zhu Yicheng didn't say anything. He couldn't help but look up at Zhu Yicheng slightly.
