Chapter 1484 Emperor Longqing's Thoughts

In this case, Luo Xin is not qualified to say.Only people in the cabinet are qualified to speak, or in other words, only the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie, is qualified to speak.

However, Gao Gong, as the most qualified second assistant in the cabinet, is not impossible to say, but it is a bit presumptuous.Besides, Gao Gong and Xu Jie have spelled it like that, so do you still care about this arrogance?
And Gao Gong said, Xu Jie can only hold back.Do you want him to say, Your Majesty, don't get tired?
The ministers in the Huangji Hall are still full of ideas, and they have been holding back for too long!
It's been a long time since we've been so noisy in Huangji Hall!

So much fun!

But they also saw that Emperor Longqing was indeed tired, and each of them handed in the papers in their hands with some joy, and then respectfully sent Emperor Longqing to retire from the court.

Lie Ban walked out of the Huangji Hall in order, but saw Feng Bao rushing over and said:

"Old Gao Ge, Master Luo, please stay!"

The two of them stopped, and Luo Xin walked towards Mr. Gao Ge.Then I heard Feng Bao say:
"The emperor welcomes you!"

The two hurriedly agreed, and followed Feng Bao in the envy and hatred of all the ministers, and walked towards Qianqing Palace under all kinds of eyes.

When he reached the gate of Qianqing Palace, Luo Xin stopped in his tracks.This is the rule, when Emperor Longqing was still King Yu, no matter whether Luo Xin or Gao Gong, they all entered Yu Wang's mansion directly without notification.But now that King Yu has become Emperor Longqing, he has to wait for Feng Bao to report.

Gao Gong was used to stepping forward, but seeing Luo Xin stop, he had no choice but to stop.Not to mention that Gao Gong was not used to this kind of report first and then listen to the announcement, even Feng Bao was not used to it.Seeing the two people stop, he invited them in, but Luo Xin said:
"Please also report to Eunuch Feng."

"okay……"

Feng Bao still didn't react from his habits, and felt that Luo Xin was a little artificial.Then he walked into the gate of Qianqing Palace.After Feng Bao entered the gate, Gao Gong said:

"Aren't you too cautious?"

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Now Your Majesty is not the original Prince Yu, and this is not Prince Yu's Mansion, but the Imperial Palace. I don't know how many ministers are watching here. Is it possible that Mr. Ge wants to give the opponent something?"

Gao Gong was stunned, and then remembered that when he was Emperor Jiajing, he had been impeached by the Xu party many times, and those impeachments had indeed caused him a lot of trouble and drained his energy.Hearing this, he knew that Luo Xin was reminding him, so he said gratefully:
"Thank you for reminding me, it's old man Meng Lang."

One of the two people releases kindness, and the other accepts kindness, and the relationship between the two becomes much closer unconsciously.

Soon, Feng Bao came out from inside and said, "Your Majesty's invitation!"

Only then did the two of them follow Feng Bao into the room. Emperor Longqing, who was already tired, was lying on a rocking chair at this moment. When he saw the two of them coming in, he said with a tired expression:

"The two teachers are here, I am too tired to get up."

The two people said "the minister is terrified", and Emperor Longqing pointed to the two tables where the meals were already set:

"Are you hungry? Let's eat while we eat."

Luo Xin and Gao Gong were not polite this time either, not to mention Luo Xin, even Gao Gong had dinner with Emperor Longqing in Prince Yu's Mansion.So, the two of them sat down and ate with Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing took a sip of the porridge and said with emotion: "It's really tiring to go to court!"

Gao Gong and Luo were both trembling in their hearts. This Emperor Longqing would not go to court once, and he would be tired and frightened. Like Emperor Jiajing, he would not go to court again, right?

Gao Gong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the officials have been holding back for decades, so they are inevitably excited today, but they won't be in the future. Your Majesty, don't worry."

Emperor Longqing glanced at Gao Gong, he was somewhat skeptical about Gao Gong's statement, but he felt a little relieved after hearing Gao Gong's words, so he nodded and said:
"I understand!"

While eating, Luo Xin looked at the food on the table, and couldn't help frowning slightly.When Emperor Longqing was still King Yu, although Luo Xin later made money for King Yu at that time through the chariot and horse dealership every month.However, at that time, King Yu's meals were at most four dishes and one soup, which was very simple.

but……

Now the whole table is full!

This... is inflated...

All the officials have no chance to go to the court, and they are excited when they go to the court, which is very suffocating.Emperor Longqing has been trembling all the time, but now that he is the emperor, he is inflated, isn't this also very suffocating?
However, Emperor Longqing did not feel uncomfortable at all, but enjoyed it very much.After eating some food, I felt some strength recovered. After chatting with Gao Gong and Luo Xin for a while, he said:

"I have something to discuss with the two teachers."

"Please speak, Your Majesty!" Gao Gong and Luo Xin hurriedly put down their chopsticks.

"I want to establish a reserve! What do the two teachers think?"

Gao Gong looked slightly startled, but then suddenly realized, what a smart person Gao Gong is!Immediately, it occurred to Emperor Longqing that he thought about his past and made this decision.

Emperor Longqing never became a prince in his whole life, he was a coward and fearful all his life, walking on thin ice.The past is really unbearable.He didn't want his son to be like him in the future, so he wanted to establish his status first.

Gao Gong can be said to have watched King Yu grow up, and Gao Gong quickly understood his psychology. It is not surprising that Emperor Longqing had this idea.

This is a matter, the courtiers must first ask for the establishment of the crown prince, because of the relationship between Gao Gong, Luo Xin and Emperor Longqing, it is perfect for Emperor Longqing to find them two.That's asking the two of them to take the lead.

but……

Gao Gong was also a little bit conflicted in his heart, in this way, he would give the impression of being flattering to all officials.If he had Gao Gong's temper, he would have declined the matter.To put it bluntly, His Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, at a time when dragons and tigers are fierce, so there is no need to worry about establishing a reserve.However, now that Gao Gong is facing off against Xu Jie in Chaotang and is at a disadvantage, it is very important to gain the trust of Emperor Longqing.If you agree to Emperor Longqing, you will become Emperor Longqing's confidant.Gao Gong just thought for a while before making a decision, naturally to cooperate with Emperor Longqing.

Luo Xin felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter, and it would be better to establish a reserve early.Because he knew that Emperor Longqing in front of him was a short-lived ghost. Emperor Jiajing had been emperor for more than forty years, and Emperor Longqing managed to survive Emperor Jiajing to death, but he died after only being emperor for six years.

Therefore, although Luo Xin knew that this matter would make all the officials think he was flattering him, establishing a crown prince was also a good thing for Emperor Longqing.

Seeing that both of them nodded in agreement, Emperor Longqing became happy and greeted them for dinner.

After the three of them finished their meal, Emperor Longqing was also tired, so Gao Gong and Luo Xin got up to leave.
