The transfer of power was naturally accompanied by the weakening of power. The fact that Zhang Jing could become the eunuch in charge of the Department of Rites was more of a symbolic meaning. It symbolized that he was finally standing at the peak of eunuch power.
Especially since he was also a factory official in Dongchang, he could definitely be called a powerful eunuch.
Before him was Liu Jin, and after him was Wei Zhongxian, but at this moment, Zhang Jing did not have the power.
Reaching out to knock on the intelligence report handed over by Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice, "Send an edict to the people below. Prepare to depart for Shenyang tomorrow. I want to go there to take a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Jing quickly answered and then sent someone to send the edict.
Originally, Zhu Yijun wanted to stay in Ji Province for a few more days, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.
There was nothing to do in Ji Province anyway. It would be easier for him to control and solve some things in Shenyang.
Early the next morning, when the sun rose, Zhu Yijun left Ji Province and went straight to Shenyang along the mainland.
Naturally, Shenyang had already received the news. Liaodong Inspector-General Hao Jie and Liaodong Commander-In-Chief Li Chengliang rushed directly to Guangning to welcome him.
This time, Zhu Yijun's arrival was very important in Liaodong.
Now, Zhu Yijun could be said to be powerful in the sea. This kind of power was shown even before the arrival of the people.
Hao Jie was a thin man in his fifties. To be able to become the Liaodong Inspector-General at this age was enough to show his ability.
His eyes were sharp, and his beard was neatly combed. His whole person gave off a very sharp feeling.
Hao Jie's temperament was different from Daming's gentleness in the officialdom, but he was very valued by Zhu Yijun.
Hao Jie's father was an imperial censor. Although he did not have a high official position, he had a good reputation. Hao Jie also inherited his father's character.
He was a very strict person, which was also the reason why Zhu Yijun asked him to come to Liaodong.
It was impossible to balance Li Chengliang without someone like Hao Jie.
In fact, Hao Jie really couldn't stand Li Chengliang. He couldn't stand Li Chengliang's greed.
However, Li Chengliang was very good at fighting, and he hadn't found any evidence that could defeat Li Chengliang, so Hao Jie and Li Chengliang maintained a good relationship on the surface.
Guangning, a place that had disappeared in the future, could be said to be very important at this time.
In fact, Guang Ning was in Jinzhou and Guang Ning Middle Guard was Jinzhou. Daming had amassed a large number of troops here.
In the next few decades, this place would definitely be a place that would be mentioned frequently.
Looking at Guang Ning City, Zhu Yijun had mixed feelings in his heart.
Seeing that Zhu Yijun didn't move and just stood there looking at the city wall, the officials didn't dare to go up and ask. They could only wait for Zhu Yijun to finish looking.
Hao Jie and Li Chengliang, who came to greet them, felt uneasy.
What did His Majesty mean?
In fact, Zhu Yijun didn't mean anything. Withdrawing his gaze, Zhu Yijun walked towards Hao Jie and Li Chengliang.
He reached out to help Hao Jie up, and then reached out to help Li Chengliang up.
"Everyone, please stand at ease!"
After doing this, Zhu Yijun turned his head and said to the people kneeling behind them.
Arriving at Guang Ning, Zhu Yijun didn't choose to live in the city. Guang Ning was a military city, and there was no good place to entertain the emperor. Entering the city would only cause trouble and serve no purpose.
The army set up camp outside the city, and Zhu Yijun's tent was also set up outside the city.
As night fell, Zhu Yijun held a banquet in the big tent. Basically, those who came were the main civil and military officials of Liaodong.
In the capital, Qi Jiguang and the others were also there, which made the banquet more lively.
"Everyone, you guarded the bitter and cold land of Liaodong for me, and were loyal to the Daming. You are all the loyal subjects and generals of the Daming."
Zhu Yijun's gaze swept across the civil and military officials present, and said with a laugh, "This cup of wine is to you, and you should drink it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone quickly answered loudly.
Zhu Yijun nodded, and then looked at Hao Jie and Li Chengliang, "Hao, as the Inspector of Liaodong, you have made great contributions in stabilizing the place. When the army goes to war, transfer personnel and transport provisions."
"Li, you have led the army to war, and made great achievements for the Daming. This second cup of wine is to you!"
This kind of banquet was more formal than eating and drinking, but the symbolic meaning was very big.
It was an honor for the emperor to hold a banquet in person.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun also drank to his heart's content that night, and it was Zhang Jing who helped him back.
Zhu Yijun returned to the tent to sleep, but there was one person who couldn't sleep. This person was Li Chengliang.
"Have you found out?"
Seeing that his trusted aide walked into the tent, Li Chengliang hurriedly greeted him and asked in a somewhat impatient tone.
"General, I have found out!" The trusted aide quickly said, "The rumor is true."
"This time, the emperor only brought one woman to serve him. This person is Buxiya Mara of the Yehe tribe.
I also heard that Buxiya Mara is very favored by the emperor and has been conferred the title of Concubine Jing. "
Hearing the words of his trusted aide, Li Chengliang's face became even uglier.
Waving his hand to signal for his trusted aide to leave, Li Chengliang turned to the people behind him and said, "Everyone, what do you think of this matter?"
Behind Li Chengliang were three scholars, all of whom were Li Chengliang's trusted aides.
After so many years of advising Li Chengliang, it wasn't the first or second time. Hearing that the matter was so troublesome, the expressions of these people became serious.
The leader was an old man in his sixties. He stroked his beard and frowned, deep in thought.
This person was Li Chengliang's most trusted aide. His name was Chen Biao, and he was an elementary scholar.
He was very strategic and had a good grasp of the big picture. He was Li Chengliang's most trusted aide.
Chen Biao didn't speak, but a man in his forties spoke first.
"General, His Majesty must have a deeper meaning!"
Chen Biao glanced at the man and slowly said, "There is no need to scare yourself like this. I have heard that Buxiya Mara of the Yehe tribe is very beautiful."
"It cannot be ruled out that His Majesty dotes on her very much. It is not impossible that he brought her to Liaodong this time."
"Even if that's the case, we can't let our guard down!"
Li Chengliang sighed and said, "If His Majesty really dotes on her so much, do you think I will have a good time?"
Li Chengliang's heart could be said to be very frightened. The hatred between him and the Yehe tribe was not shallow.
In the past, among the people he had lured and killed was Buxiya Mara's grandfather, the father of Buzhai of the Yehe tribe.
If this Buxiya Mara was really so favored, he would be finished with just a pillow talk.
Chen Biao looked at Li Chengliang and said with a smile, "General's words are not false."
"But I fear that there is a deeper meaning to this matter!"
Li Chengliang glanced at Chen Biao and wanted to beat the old man who liked to keep people in suspense.
But he knew this problem of Chen Biao's, so he could only say, "Sir, please speak quickly!"
