When the three auxiliary ministers arrived at the Qianqing Palace, it was almost the time of Shen.

Led by Gao Gong, Guo Pu and Zhang Juzheng followed, and the three auxiliary ministers entered the Qianqing Palace in the shape of a zigzag, and as soon as they entered the emperor's bedroom, they saw Longqing reclining on the slightly propped up couch, looking at them.

As soon as Long Qing saw Gao Gong, the solemn look on his face was relieved, and he cheered up and said, "...... first Three gentlemen are here. ”

Gao Gong saw that the emperor was very weak when he cheered up and said something, and his face was even more gray, his eye sockets were deep-set, but his cheeks were swollen, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and choked up: "The old minister is late, please ask the emperor to surrender." So saying, he fell to his knees and threw himself on the ground.

Shoufu knelt, Guo Pu and Zhang Juzheng naturally couldn't stand, and they all knelt down and kowtowed.

The emperor said with difficulty: "Three gentlemen, please get up, Meng Chong, give a seat to the gentlemen." ”

Meng Chong hurriedly beckoned the little eunuchs to bring three brocade stools and asked the three auxiliary ministers to sit down.

The three of them sat on half of their buttocks, and then they had time to look at the details in the dormitory.

However, in the dormitory, except for the emperor who was half-leaning on the imperial couch in the middle, the queen and Li Guifei were both bowing down on the right side of the imperial couch and grabbing the emperor's right hand, while the prince was standing still on the left side of the imperial couch.

There is no surprise in this, the surprise is that there is still a person standing next to the prince, dressed in a big red silk flying fish suit, with a calm and solemn face, but he is only slightly taller than the prince - this person is actually very pragmatic.

Including Gao Gong, the three auxiliary ministers were stunned when they saw this position.

Gao Pragmatic is of course the prince's companion, and it is natural to stand by the prince's side, but now it is clear that the emperor wants to support the orphan! At this time, it is normal for the prince to stand next to the emperor, but he is still standing next to the prince, which is obviously a problem, and the problem is very big.

But the problem is that the emperor himself is there now, if the emperor feels that he is not in the right position, how can Gao Pragmatic stand there?

Even if the emperor is seriously ill and even too lazy to speak, but the queen, the concubine, and even the master of ceremonies are all in the palm prints and several big pencils, there will not even be a person who understands here, right?

The three auxiliary ministers are all people who have been in the center for half their lives, and some reasons are clear: this position can only be recognized or even hand-picked by the emperor.

But...... Why?

The three auxiliary ministers couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and it was difficult to speak, Gao Gong originally wanted to scold Gao Pragmatic with a sentence like "what kind of system" or something, but after thinking about it, this matter is really weird, let's take a look at the situation first.

In the end, it was the emperor who spoke first, he coughed vigorously, as if there was something blocked in his throat, cleared his throat vigorously, and said: "I don't hesitate, I am determined to pass on the prince, and Qing and others will take care of their lives, and they must assist the prince well." ”

The buttocks of the three high arches were not yet hot, and they hurriedly got up and bowed down. And Meng Chong had already stepped forward to summon - that is, to turn the emperor's words just now into an oracle: "Holy oracle: The heir of my ancestors is unified, and in the sixth year of this year, I occasionally get this disease, and I can't get up, and I have to bear the trust of the emperor." The East Palace is young, and the three ministers such as Fu Zhiqing should cooperate with each other, abide by the ancestral system, and protect the emperor's map. Qing and other merits are in the community, and they will not be lost forever. ”

Although Gao Gong and the others expected that most of them would accept Gu Fang's life, they could still not help but cry together when they thought of this emperor, who had known him for many years and seemed to be cowardly and absurd, but was actually wise and foolish, when he really wanted to drive.

Especially Gao Gong, the relationship between him and Longqing is beyond the power of pen and ink! All of a sudden, he cried so much that he was full of tears and heartbroken.

Long Qing beat his spirit and said: "Sir, I really have a negative ancestor, but fortunately I have a gentleman, so that I will not lose the world." Now that the prince is young, the middle palace and the concubine don't know about government affairs, so they can only be tired of Mr. in the world, please teach my son well, just like he taught me back then......"

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong was even more mournful when he heard it, a pair of tiger eyes and tears, he choked up, and kowtowed three times on the gold bricks of the Qianqing Palace: "The old minister is shallow and virtuous, but he is trusted by His Majesty and entrusted with the task of assistance, but he sacrifices his life to repay him!" ”

Seeing Gao Gong's emotion, Long Qing also had tears in his eyes, nodded with reluctance, turned his head away, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Prince, Mr. Gao is my teacher, and now I have entrusted him and taught it to you, you should respect it, just like respecting me." ”

Zhu Yijun saw that his father, who doted on him and loved him deeply, at this time, he was still thinking about him, and he couldn't hold back anymore, and cried out all of a sudden, tears like pearls with broken threads, falling drop by drop on the edge of the royal couch, and nodding incessantly: "The son remembers, the father, and the son remember...... Father, don't you leave Jun'er behind, okay? ”

When Empress Chen and Concubine Li saw the prince like this, they couldn't control their emotions and cried together.

Long Qing stretched out his left hand to the prince with difficulty, Zhu Yijun hurriedly stepped forward, clasped it with both hands, and said, "Father, the son is here......"

Long Qing trembled, squeezed his little hand as much as he could, and said tremblingly: "Jun'er, Daddy is going to disappoint you this time......

"Father!" Zhu Yijun grabbed his father's left hand and burst into tears.

Long Qing's gaze slowly moved back from Zhu Yijun's face, glanced at Gao Shishi, and said, "Jun'er, are you satisfied with the companion I picked for you?" ”

Zhu Yijun wept and nodded vigorously.

"That's good." Long Qing gasped twice, squeezed Zhu Yijun's hand, but said to Gao Shishi: "Little Gaoqing's family, the prince has become the emperor, and you, the prince's companion, can't be a ...... But it doesn't matter, before he came into power, you still accompanied him to study...... You, not only do you have to accompany him well, but you also have to supervise him, just like the previous lecturers did not explain the truth, you gave him a lecture. ”

In principle, this sentence seems to be a bit ill, but the emperor is so sick that he is almost holding his last breath to explain the aftermath, and it is not surprising that the logic is not clear enough, anyway, Gao Pragmatic already understands what the emperor means.

He was actually quite moved at this time, at least Longqing was benevolent to their Gao family, coupled with the father-son relationship between him and the prince, Gao Pragmatic also shed tears, turned to the royal couch and knelt down, and kowtowed to the high arch to receive his life.

Long Qing's eyes moved with difficulty, glancing left and right, as if he was trying his last time to think about anything important that he hadn't explained clearly.

At this time, Empress Chen, who had been just sobbing softly, suddenly raised her head, sobbed and asked the emperor with pear blossoms: "Your Majesty, if there is something difficult to decide in the country before Jun'er is in charge in the future, and my two sisters don't know anything, what should we do?" ”

Long Qing didn't expect the queen to ask such a question, first he was slightly stunned, and then without hesitation, he raised his index finger slightly, pointed to the high arch, and said, "If there is something difficult to decide, just ask Mr. Gao." ”
