After feeling his physical condition was ideal, the emperor felt a little embarrassed because he had ignored the government affairs for more than half a month. Although he was indeed a little lazy, it was rare to just ask about state affairs for a long time.

So he asked Meng He, "Is there any memorial recently?" Long Qing authorized the cabinet to handle ordinary matters, and only when encountering major events would he order them to report them.

"There are not many things these days." But there is one thing that the emperor has to decide." Meng Chong came back to his senses, took out a memorial from his arms, and presented it with both hands. Emperor Longqing refused to answer and asked, "Who's?", "It's Master Chen." Meng Chong replied.

Qing sat on the soft couch with bright yellow seat cover, supported his chin with his hands, and posed in a listening position. Li Quan moved a spring stool and asked Emperor Longqing to put a pair of tuitions on it to massage and knead him.

Meng Chong opened the memorial and stuttered: "I admire Your Majesty, the criminals are silent and treacherous and report..."

Although it was a memorial to apologize, the emperor focused on listening, raised his hand and signaled Meng Chong to take it, and read it carefully again, which obviously attached great importance to it. After thinking for two days, Long Qing wrote a note and asked someone to send it to the cabinet, "Master Shen is wrong, but his merits are greater than his faults." He should use the preparatory title to grant him a title, and the rest of the treatment will remain unchanged. Then, he sent eunuchs to the cabinet and comforted the silence in front of the cabinet ministers, "let him not be affected by this incident, rectify the Ministry of War, and no such incident will occur again.

It was not over yet. After only two days, Longqing issued another order, on the grounds of loyalty, diligence and intelligence, Gao Gong of Jin was the Grand Secretary of the Jinshen Palace, and was specially promoted to Ronglu Dafu and Zhibao Dai. He officially became the second most important rank of the Ming Dynasty after the silence. In the eyes of many people, this was obviously a gift from the emperor to congratulate his teacher on his 60th birthday, and he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

Gao Gong's disciples were happy and tolerant. Gao Gong was worried about the emperor's illness and did not want to celebrate this birthday. Now the emperor has been rewarded and granted, and it seems that it is unreasonable to celebrate it! In addition, there are still people who are promoting this matter, which makes everyone in the capital and in all yamen know that Gao's birthday is coming soon. If you don't know, then now, I heard that no one can prepare a gift and go to Gao's mansion to pay a visit?

As a result, on the day of Gao Gong's 60th birthday, the alley where Gao Gong was located was filled with people who came to pay their birthday. Even some officials who had no connections were involved and eunuchs from various government offices in the inner courts prepared birthday gifts. The whole Gao Gong was gongs and drums, and firecrackers were thunderous. After Gao Gong saw the crowded scene, he felt very strange. He called Han Ji, who was busy and happy, and asked him what he was doing.

Han Ju was also secretly surprised and said, "Didn't invite so many people?" He had already saved the position and influence of the officials through this birthday party. However, he only invited all the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the head and deputy head of the 18th Yamen, and celebrities like Wang Shizhen, and a backbone of the high party. It was expected that ten tables were placed in the front hall and the back halls, which was enough. But now, just when Chen arrived, there were already many officials, internal supervisors, and even nobles who had known each other, were pouring in. Not only did he fill the reserved seats, but he even packed the yard and the aisle. Han Ji could only make people quickly wrap up the nearby restaurants, and let them quickly bring tables, chairs, benches, and then prepare all the wine and dishes.

Gao Gong originally wanted to celebrate a simple birthday with his disciples and the same year, but he didn't expect that more and more officials came to celebrate his birthday now, which made him very unhappy. "Rebuked Han Ji for being ignorant. Han Ji was so busy that he was still scolded by Gao Gong. Naturally, he was so depressed that he had to comfort him: "Everyone is here to congratulate him." We can't drive them out, right? They all come with gifts, so we can't leave food, right? Don't give this little face, "they will hold a grudge."

Gao Gong also knew that it was the reason, so he angrily flicked his sleeves and said, "Play the piano randomly!" and went back to the study to hide from the quietness. Who knew that before a while, the squeaking sounds sounded in the yard again, and then Shengdan and Jingchou sang loudly. Gao Gong finally couldn't help but push open the door and burst out, "Which is this?!"

The one he caught this time was Song Jian. He smiled and said, "It's the famous Deyun Club in Beijing. I'm here to celebrate your birthday!"

"Do you think the movement is not big enough?" Gao Gong's hair and hair were all open and said, "Let them hurry up."

At this time, a large group of officials came over and congratulated him happily. Yang Bo, who had just returned from the leader, asked with a smile: "What do you want them to do?", "Let them, let them sing hard..." Even if Gao Gong was not humane, he could not go crazy in front of so many officials. He had to say to Yang Bo and Ge Shouli: "Let's go, let's sit in the inner room. Let the young people make trouble outside." Now that things have come to this point, Gao Gong can't stop it. He can only see the truth and hope that this farce will pass quickly.

The news of the Prime Minister's Mansion's birthday was spread throughout the capital with the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers. In addition to the officials who came to celebrate the birthday, people watching the fun also rushed to the Gao Mansion like a tide. For a moment, the entire block was crowded, and there were crowds everywhere else.

一凵一“一“一“一,一“一“一,一“一“一“一“一,一“一“一,一凵一“一“一,一,一“一“一“一,一“一,一,一,一“一“一,一“一“一“一“一,一“一“一,

It was almost noon, and the three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet also arrived, so everyone settled down and started the seat.

They were drinking and chatting. So they drank and joking. More than a hundred tables of food were placed from the mansion to the alleys, from the alleys to the streets. Thousands of officials of all sizes and great men, some shouted and shouted, some whispered, some joked, some joked, some joked, some toasted, and some were toasted, and some were toasted, and some were toasted, which was indeed very lively.

Gao Gong was also a little drunk by this and the one who persuaded him. He looked at the officials who came to celebrate his birthday with hazy eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little fluttering in his heart. Life is like this, what else can you ask for?

He finally suppressed his uneasiness and saw a eunuch wearing a big red python robe walking over from outside. "Yuan Weng, congratulations to huājia on his birthday." The eunuch clasped his fists and whispered: "Come on your way, the emperor is here!"

"Ah..." Gao Gong's blood surged upwards." Ji was trembling slightly. The dignified emperor of the Nine Five, what an honor it was to visit the birthday banquet of a minister!

So the seat was suspended immediately, and Gao Gong led the officials to the street to welcome the emperor.

At this time, the Jinyiwei and the soldiers of the military commanders rushed to the streets and drove away the idle people. They quickly completed the alert. Then, teams of people fought against the chief supervisors in front of the station, using yellow curtains to separate the road from the houses. When everything was fiddled, everyone said,

The emperor's ceremonial war should have appeared? Who knew that after waiting, the palace ladies and canopy appeared. The officials couldn't help but talk. The emperor issued an order to see him. When the time when the sage appeared, he had always been very accurate in grasping the time when the sage appeared, as if it was delayed for so long today, but it had never appeared before.

Gao Gong was suspicious, but the eunuch Shi ran over with sweat again, gave a tribute again, and said, "The emperor asked me to inform Gao Ge Lao that today's arrival has been cancelled."

"Why cancel?" Gao Gong was shocked and ignored politeness." He asked blankly.

The eunuch Shi was in trouble, but he couldn't stand Gao Gong's repeated questioning, so he had to let him go alone."

He whispered: "You are the master, so it's okay to tell you. Long Sui was fine when he came out, but he walked halfway." But after some reason, his face changed suddenly and became terrifying again like the last time."

Gao Gong seemed to be hit by a stick, and immediately looked white. He was sweating profusely, but after all, he was a man who had been through the storm and waves. He actually gritted his teeth and tried his best to calm down. He said to Eunuch Shi: "Go back to the palace to take care of the emperor." I will change my clothes and go to the palace to visit!"

"Why,

"Eunuch Shi nodded" and took the palace people away, and then the officers and soldiers of the Jinyiwei and the Military Police also retreated.

Thousands of guests were shocked by this sudden change, and they couldn't eat this longevity wine. After the eunuch Shi went there for a long time, everyone woke up from the shock. Some came to comfort Gao Gong, some whispered and discussed, and stood up to say goodbye. As for the opera troupe, "there had been long been driven away by Han Ji, which should have been a festive day." As for the film troupe, they were already disgraced...

Around Gao Gong, "In addition to his close friends, there are three big figures such as Yang Bo, Ge Shouli, and Zhu Heng. These people discussed a few words. Yang Bo stepped forward and said, "You guys quickly enter the palace to meet the saint just in case, we will go back to the yamen first to wait for news, and there will be no trouble." At this time, Gao Gong also came back to his senses and said with a key point: "This is the reason." So he ignored the chaotic house behind him and went to the big house with the three cabinet ministers.

In the official sedan chair, Zhang Juzheng secretly praised him, "This is really a matter of human calculations, but God's calculations. He asked Liu Tai and Wang Zhuan at that time to promote Gao Gong's birthday when the emperor was sick. At that time, he also invited a troupe to play and beat him to celebrate Gao Gong's 60th birthday. As long as the matter is made full of storms in the city, it will definitely cause the emperor to dissatisfie with Gao Gong. Who knew that Longqing not only did not care, but also wanted to come to celebrate Gao Gong's birthday in person. This made Zhang Ge Lao, who had done all the calculations, could only sigh that he was a bad fate. He was also the emperor's teacher, so why was the gap so big?

Who knew that the situation suddenly changed later and the emperor suddenly became ill. Gao Gong was having a lot of fun. Even if the emperor didn’t care, what would people say afterwards? What would Empress Li in the palace think? In short, it was a mistake and the effect was even better. It was really a relief!

After the little pleasure was over, he remembered Feng Bao's words again and couldn't help but be surprised. How could this dead eunuch judge so accurately? Even the imperial physician dared to say something, "Why did he insist that the emperor was a terminal illness that could not be cured? Forced himself not to think about it carefully." Because the current situation is so satisfying, and it must not cause any trouble.

The four cabinet ministers got out of the sedan chair at Zuo'an Gate, "Gao Gong and Shen Mo sat on the carriage, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei rode horses" to the Huangji Gate, all went down to the ground and walked in, waiting outside the Ganqing Gate.

After waiting for half an hour, Eunuch Shi came out of the palace gate. Gao Gong grabbed him and asked anxiously: "Eunuch Shi, what's wrong with the emperor?"

The eunuch Shi's face was pale and white. Obviously, he had not recovered from the earlier shock and calmed down his mind: "The emperor is now with the queen and the prince. The emperor is holding the prince's hand and talking in tears."

"Oh, I'm confused!" When Gao Gong heard this, he stomped his feet in a hurry and said, "People who suffer from strokes are most taboo to move their emotions. The emperor cannot see anyone now, so they must calm down and recuperate."

"Who said no?" Seeing Gao Gong's anxious evil fire rushed straight, Eunuch Shi said even more and more panicked: "The Empress also said she wanted to leave, but the emperor just refused to let her go, and it was useless to persuade her." As she said that, she broke free from Gao Gong's mastery and said: "I am here to pass the order to all the gentlemen." Gao Gong quickly led the three of them to salute and receive the order.

Eunuch Shi then passed the imperial edict and said, "Come all the ministers are outside the palace gate!" After receiving the imperial edict, the ministers waited in the "room" outside the Ganqing Palace until the evening, Eunuch Shi came to pass the imperial edict and said, "Please wait the ministers outside the Ganqing Palace gate."

Gao Gong felt that it was inappropriate, so he asked the eunuch Shi to report: "The ancestors' laws are strict. The Ganqing Palace is large, and the outside ministers cannot enter. It is not allowed to go there. Is it not even possible? I dare not stay here. However, I dare not go. When I leave the Huangji Gate, I stay in the Wenyuan Pavilion. When there is a summoning, there is a message that the above is right. If you raise your feet, you will arrive, not far away. After a while, "the eunuch Shi came out and said, the emperor agreed, so the ministers returned to their respective huts. That night, everyone couldn't sleep. It was not until noon the next day. The palace servants came to announce the news. Gao Gong and his friends rushed over and came to the east warm pavilion of the Ganqing Palace, and greeted Emperor Longqing, who was half lying and half sitting on the bamboo couch. They saw Longqing's slightly swollen face, with a erratic blue, which was a sign of a great loss of vitality... Everyone couldn't help but wonder, seeing the emperor two days ago, "it was still a big deal."

Why has it become like this now?

"I suddenly felt uncomfortable yesterday and disturbed Master Gao's birthday party." I was so happy." After the ministers finished their salutes, Longqing spoke and apologized to Gao Gong.
