Nurhaci's residence welcomed a Daming eunuch, which Nurhaci didn't expect.
However, he didn't dare to be negligent at all, because this eunuch was the most powerful eunuch in Daming.
The eunuch of the Department of Rites, the commander of Dongchang, had served the Daming Emperor for 30 years.
Needless to say, such a eunuch was trusted by the Daming Emperor.
Nurhaci knew very well that a word from this eunuch was better than many things he could do.
Nurhaci took his brother Shurhaci and his trusted aides out to welcome him.
He had people prepare a gift, a banknote from the bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, worth 50,000 taels of silver. It was a big gift.
After walking in, Zhang Jing quickly sat down in the main seat. Glancing at Nurhaci, who was accompanying him, Zhang Jing said with a smile, "I've long heard of Nurhaci's name in Jianzhou Guard, so I specially came to see you today."
Nurhaci didn't believe that Zhang Jing was here to see him.
This person's status was so high that even Li Chengliang had to be submissive in front of him, let alone himself.
There weren't many people in the entire Daming who could hold their heads high in front of this person.
"Eunuch's Daming has long been known throughout Daming, and I, the Liaodong Jurchen, have long heard of it."
Nurhaci said with a smile, "It's my honor to have eunuch come here today."
Zhang Jing took a deep look at Nurhaci, then nodded with a smile, "I won't beat around the bush. I've come here today to discuss something with you."
"Please speak, eunuch. Nurhaci will do as you say." Nurhaci said quickly.
Zhang Jing nodded, then said slowly, "Bu Zhai of the Yehe tribe sent Concubine Jing to the palace, and she is deeply favored by His Majesty. I'm sure you know this."
"His Majesty likes the women of the Jurchen tribe very much."
"I came here this time to ask if there aren't any noble ladies with good conditions in Jianzhou.
We, the eunuchs, are here to take care of these matters for His Majesty. If you don't take the initiative, I'll have to do it myself. "
Nurhachi was stunned. Was he here to ask for a woman?
I haven't even given it to you, and you're already asking for it?
"Eunuch, I have something to report!"
Nurhachi hurriedly said, "It's not that I'm not doing my best, but I really don't have any connections. I've already prepared someone, and I'll present him to Your Majesty this time."
Zhang Jing nodded thoughtfully. Then, his face darkened and he slammed the table.
"Is it because of the local officials in Liaodong?
Was it Liaodong Inspector-General Hao Jie or Liaodong Commander-In-Chief Li Chengliang?
These people are just on the border, and they're getting bolder and bolder. Let's see if I can report them in front of the Imperial Majesty. "
Zhang Jing angrily rebuked Hao Jie and Li Chengliang, and then said, "Don't be afraid. I'll help you. If the local officials in Liaodong dare to make things difficult for you, I'll help you."
Hearing Zhang Jing's words, Nurhachi was overjoyed.
Compared with Li Chengliang, this eunuch's status was really high.
Once his daughter entered the palace, he would be able to curry favor with this great eunuch. Then, he would be able to stick a pole into the Forbidden City of the Great Ming Dynasty.
At that time, not to mention Yehe, even Li Chengliang would have to look at his face.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of me!"
Nurhachi said with a smile. At the same time, he took out his sleeve and a roll of banknotes appeared in his hand. "It's just a small token of appreciation. I hope you can accept it."
Reaching out and taking the banknotes, Zhang Jing twisted them with his hand. Fifty thousand taels.
Zhang Jing couldn't help but sigh. This Jurchen barbarian was really generous. However, with Zhang Jing's current status, although he was surprised by Nurhachi's generosity, he would not take these fifty thousand taels to heart.
"You're too polite!"
Zhang Jing smiled and put away the banknotes, then said, "You can rest assured that I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of His Majesty. I won't hide it from you. These days, there have been many people slandering you in front of His Majesty."
"They said that you have unified the Jurchen Jurchen in Jianzhou, and your strength is too great. They said that you have a rebellious heart. The Imperial Majesty is very angry."
Nurhachi's face darkened. He was afraid of making connections. Nurhachi thought that Li Chengliang did not accept money.
No wonder the old guy did not accept money. He was afraid of being implicated!
With a sneer in his heart, Nurhachi said directly, "In all honesty, our family has been loyal to the Daming for generations. My grandfather and father died for the Daming. The loyalty of the Aisin Gioro Family can be proved by heaven and earth!"
After listening to Nurhachi's words, Zhang Jing was stunned. "Is there such a thing?
Tell me about it! "
Nurhachi hurriedly told what happened to his grandfather and father. He did not attack Li Chengliang. He was afraid that it would be counterproductive. He mainly emphasized that his father and brother died for the Daming.
Nurhachi directly poured the dirty water of killing his father onto Nikanwailan.
Anyway, Nikanwailan had been beheaded by himself, and the dead could not testify.
After listening to Nurhachi's story, Zhang Jing shed a few tears. "They are really loyal for generations. This Nikanwailan deserves to die. Li Chengliang also deserves to die. How can he let a loyal minister die and let a person like Nikanwailan gain power!"
"Don't worry. When I go back, I will definitely tell this to the Imperial Majesty."
In fact, the Jurchen people at that time were very chaotic. Nikanwailan was a very powerful branch. The key was that Nikanwailan was loyal to the Daming.
The Nikan in Nikanwailan's name meant Han in the Manchu language.
Nikanwailan meant Wailan, and the whole name was the Wailan of the Han people.
Nikanwailan had great ambitions since he was a child. He wanted to squeeze into the ranks of the Ming officials and become a high-ranking official. Otherwise, he also wanted to be the leader of the Jurchen people.
Taking advantage of the convenience of living in the Ming Dynasty, he learned Chinese and Chinese from the Han people when he was a child, and read many ancient books written by the Han people.
However, what he did was destined to be in vain, because the Daming followed the principle that people who were not of the same mind must be different.
In addition, Liaodong was very chaotic at that time, and Li Chengliang also suppressed Nikanwailan. After all, he was the only high-ranking official in Liaodong. Nikanwailan's ideas naturally could not be realized, and in the end, he was beheaded by Nurhachi.
At that time, Zhu Yijun did not have the energy to take care of Liaodong. Otherwise, Nikanwailan would definitely be put in an important position. It could only be said that he was born at the wrong time.
Nikanwailan in Nurhachi's mouth was naturally a synonym for despicable and shameless. What he and Zhang Jing said was all subjective speculation, but Zhang Jing believed it, which made Nurhachi overjoyed.
After talking for a long time, Zhang Jing also felt that the time was right, so he said bluntly, "In that case, I will be straightforward."
"Don't offer the ten beauties you prepared. His Majesty doesn't like vulgar women."
"I heard that there is a noblewoman in Jianzhou Jurchen whose beauty is widely known. This noblewoman is the eldest daughter of your brother Shuerhaqi, Er Shitai. I wonder if she has a husband?"
Hearing this, Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi were stunned.
