Because Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli issued an order, Zhang Jing had to set out when he was ready to go to Liaodong as the number one eunuch of the Sili Supervisor and military supervisor.

The war is important, and the court officials have no objection. Anyway, the decree is very clear. Even if you win a great victory in Liaodong, you will have to "re-issuance" against Zhang Jing.

Only Feng Bao knew that this was Zhu Yiliu saving Zhang Jing, the apprentice, in a hidden way.

However, Zhu Yiliu did not write to him, but wrote to Empress Dowager Li directly. Moreover, the letter only talked about the war in Liaodong and did not mention anything else.

Before going to Liaodong, Zhang Jing met Feng Bao with kindness and initiative.

When they met, Zhang Jing asked bluntly: "Have Prince Lu written to Eunuch Feng?"

He thought it was Zhu Yili who wrote a letter to Feng Bao, and then Feng Bao negotiated with Empress Dowager Li.

Feng Bao shook his head and said, "No."

He did not receive a letter from Zhu Yiliu. He originally thought there was one like Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing was surprised: "Then..."

Feng Bao explained truthfully: "Prince Lu wrote a letter to the Empress Dowager. It was Prince Lu who saved you. It is recommended that you go to Liaodong to supervise the army."

"Oh, Master is so tall!" Zhang Jing couldn't help but sigh.

Feng Bao said vigilantly: "Don't be too proud too early. Prince Lu has said more than once that the situation in Liaodong is complicated. This time, Li Chengliang attacked Gulezhai only. Prince Lu meant to win a great victory in Liaodong, that is, to defeat the Mongolian and Jurchens in Liaodong so that they were completely surrendered to our Ming Dynasty. This is the great victory in Liaodong, so there is still a long road."

"Hey, that's better than expelling to the Nanjing Imperial Mausoleum to grow vegetables! At least I am still the number one pen in the Silijian." Zhang Jing's pride expression remained unabated.

"That's it," Feng Bao said sourly, "You know, being able to worship Prince Lu as your teacher is the blessing that your ancestors have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes."

Zhang Jing smiled back and said, taking this matter as an example, he had to admit that Zhu Yiliu was indeed smart. He thought that he was forced to become a disciple at the time, but he was reluctant.

Things in the world are so wonderful!

Zhang Jing murmured in a low voice: "Master, don't write me a letter, so that I can tell me what to do when I go to Liaodong to supervise the military. I have no experience in supervising the military."

Feng Bao hurriedly explained: "What else can you do when you go? Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang are both top military strategists. What do you want you to supervise the army? Prince Lu is just saving you, so you really think that you can supervise the army. Go to Liaodong and don't get involved in military affairs. Just pay attention to whether Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang are in disagreement, and you don't have to worry about other aspects."

Zhang Jing nodded and agreed.

He was not stupid either. Of course, he knew what to do when he went to Liaodong. Asking Feng Bao this question was not intentionally seeking the scriptures. It was just because there was a sour smell in Feng Bao's words, so he took out a humble and humble attitude to find a topic.

"Eunuch Feng, as the saying goes, we won't know each other without fighting. It seems that we may really become good friends in the future!" Zhang Jing said with no words to make a joke.

Feng Bao snorted softly and replied, "It's hard, let's do the things in Liaodong first."

Zhang Jing knew that Feng Bao had always been arrogant and would not treat him as a friend so quickly.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhu Yiliu, he would never have thought that one day he would be friends with Feng Bao.

Hey, one day in the future, the former mortal enemy will become a good friend, no one will think of it.

...

After seeing Feng Bao, Zhang Jing must have said goodbye to Emperor Wanli, so he didn't invite him to go there.

As soon as he stepped into the West Warehouse, he saw Emperor Wanli erecting a carp from the embroidery couch, frowned his eyebrows, pointed at him angrily, and questioned:

"Tell me honestly, how can I use to make my mother feel lighter on you?"

Zhang Jing immediately knelt on the ground with both knees, clasped the cracks in the bricks with both hands, and replied calmly: "Long live, the empress has not given me a lighter sentence!"

"Why didn't there?" said Emperor Wanli, "I was going to remove you from your post and expel you to Nanjing, but now I'm giving you a chance to make meritorious deeds, which is equivalent to leaving you a way out."

Zhang Jing had a bitter face and defended: "Long live, the empress meant to win a great victory in Liaodong, and then she decided how to punish her servants. If not, it would be punished with both crimes!"

"With Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang here, isn't it easy to win a great victory in Liaodong?"

Zhang Jing said again: "Long live the situation in Liaodong, and I don't think it's that easy."

"Don't worry, as long as I pay special attention to Liaodong, I will definitely win a great victory in Liaodong in the end." Emperor Wanli just started to whine, and was still very moved by Zhang Jing's behavior of sacrificing himself to save his master.

"Thank you, Master Long!" Zhang Jing was even more moved when he heard Wanli's encouragement and support.

But no matter how moved he was, he still did not forget to show his misery: "But, even if he wins the Liaodong Victory in the end, the Empress Dowager will still punish his servants."

Emperor Wanli waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about what's going on in the future, so you can calm down first."

Zhang Jing then got up and said, "Long lively, I will go to Liaodong tomorrow. I don't know how long it will take to come back. I can't serve you now!"

Emperor Wanli did not speak. Seeing Zhang Jing's mood was depressed, he was a little sad. Suddenly he felt like he wanted to ask the heavens: Although I am the lord of a country, I can spread all over the world. How many of my confidants are there?"

At this moment, Emperor Wanli discovered how lonely he was.

Apart from Zhang Jing, there is no one around who can talk to you!

People in the world only know how to envy the emperor for having supreme power, but how many people really understand the emperor's loneliness and helplessness? You must know that the emperor's private life has been exposed.

Where can I have friends? Where can I have confidants?

Seeing that Emperor Wanli did not speak, Zhang Jing asked carefully: "Long live, what are you thinking?"

"Being an emperor sometimes is really boring!" Emperor Wanli suddenly muttered to himself.

"Long live, you must not think so! The road ahead is still long." Zhang Jing hurriedly advised.

Emperor Wanli shook his head and said lonely: "I feel lonely is loneliness. It is a fact that there is no friends. What does this have to do with the length of the future?"

Zhang Jing didn't know how to persuade him. The emperor had whatever he wanted. Power was supreme, and he had as many women as he wanted, and as much wealth as he wanted... If he felt lonely, who else in the world would not be lonely?

There are many topics that can be talked about, but when we are leaving, Zhang Jing and Emperor Wanli seem to have no idea what to say.

So, after sitting with Emperor Wanli for a while, Zhang Jing left.

Early the next morning, he took a team of soldiers on the journey to Liaodong.

At this time, Qi Jiguang had already received the emperor's will and set off.
