Chapter 1491 Restoring the Early Dynasty
Gao Gong was Emperor Longqing's teacher, and Emperor Longqing relied heavily on Gao Gong back then, and he still had feelings for Gao Gong.Gao Gong knelt for half an hour, finally Emperor Longqing couldn't sit still and walked out in person.He helped Gao Gong up, and the two of them looked at each other, the color on their faces changed.

Gao Gong saw that Emperor Longqing had two dark circles under his eyes and his face was pale. This is clearly excessive indulgence!

How can this make Gao Gong not anxious?
Just Emperor Longqing's body?
But Emperor Longqing helped Gao Gong up, seeing Gao Gong kneeling for half an hour, shaking when he stood up, he couldn't bear it.

Holding Gao Gong into the Qianqing Palace, and giving Gao Gong a seat, he said apologetically:
"Gao Shi, why are you bothering? I trust your ability and character, and now there are four people in the cabinet. The four of you just plan and deal with it. Why bother me with everything?"

"Your Majesty, morning..."

As soon as Gao Gong opened his mouth, Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said: "I come to the morning court every day, the ministers are too tired and waste time, I don't think it is necessary to have the morning court every day.

Um!
Or how about once a month? "

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong was furious in his heart, but he still had to endure it: "The early dynasty is the ancestral system. In all my dynasties, only the late emperor did not go early, but the last edict has already admitted that the late emperor was wrong, and you are in the imperial edict. Your Majesty also promises not to make the mistakes of the late emperor again. He must be in charge of the government and love the people, restrain himself and return to the courtesy. Now that His Majesty does not come to court early, what will the world think?"

Having said that, seeing Emperor Longqing still showing reluctance, Gao Gong stood up, knelt down on the ground, took off his official hat, put it on the ground, and kowtowed:
"Your Majesty does not go to court and ignores the affairs of the court. As the second assistant of the cabinet, the veteran is the greatest dereliction of duty. As the teacher of His Majesty, it is the greatest failure. The veteran has no face to stand in the court. The veteran resigns to His Majesty."

Emperor Longqing panicked at this moment. Among the four members of the cabinet, he trusted Gao Gong the most. If Gao Gong resigned, he was afraid that he would really become a puppet in the future.At that time, I am afraid that if I want to live a happy life now, it will be difficult.Hastily stood up, went forward to raise the archway:

"Teacher Gao, don't ask for resignation!"

Seeing that Gao Gong couldn't stand up stiffly, he finally just stomped his feet and said: "Isn't it okay for me to go to court?"

"Really?" Gao Gong suddenly looked up.

"Really, it's more real than real gold." Emperor Longqing said helplessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Gong picked up his official hat and stood up.

"but……"

Emperor Longqing hesitated for a moment, which frightened Gao Gong, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty won't go back on his word, will he?"

"Of course I won't go back on my word!" Emperor Longqing smiled wryly and said, "Master Gao, you also know me well. I don't understand government affairs at all, and I haven't experienced the training of the prince. Even if I study hard, it will take time. In order to avoid delaying state affairs So although I go to the court, those memorials should be answered by the high division and other cabinets."

"no!"

Gao Gong raised his voice an octave, why did he let Emperor Longqing go to court?Isn't it just to get Emperor Longqing to support him?As a result, Emperor Longqing agreed to go to court, but he was willing to be a puppet. What is the difference between this and not going to court?
Moreover……

Treating the emperor as a puppet will be infamous forever.

"But I really don't understand now!"

Gao Gong was anxious, and Emperor Longqing was even more anxious.

"I'm not sure how the government should deal with it, and the high teacher doesn't want me to mess up the state affairs, right? At the very least, you have to give me time to study, right?"

At this moment, Gao Gong felt that what Emperor Longqing said was very reasonable, but he was speechless.After being stunned for a while, he sighed depressingly and said:

"If your majesty is not sure, don't answer for now. After the morning court is over, your majesty and the cabinet will discuss together. This is also the process of your majesty's learning. I hope your majesty can learn it soon."

Gao Gong was depressed, and Emperor Jiajing was also depressed.

How tiring it is to go to court!
After going to court, he still has to continue to discuss and study. This is not the emperor's life he imagined!Isn't this killing him?
However, seeing Gao Gong's expression, he couldn't open his mouth to refute, and sat there with a gloomy face, feeling very irritable.

Seeing Emperor Longqing lower his face, Gao Gong sighed helplessly in his heart.To achieve his position, he also knows the truth that haste makes waste.I had no choice but to say:

"Your Majesty, let's do this. If it's not a particularly important matter, the cabinet will discuss a solution and don't bother Your Majesty. But if you encounter a major event, you still need to discuss it with your Majesty and the cabinet."

Emperor Longqing's face softened slightly and said: "Okay."

Then Emperor Longqing and Gao Gong stared wide-eyed and fell silent for a while.After a few moments of silence, seeing that Gao Gong hadn't left yet, Emperor Longqing said:

"Master Gao, are you okay?"

The corner of Gao Gong's mouth twitched and said: "I have nothing to do now."

Emperor Longqing immediately stood up, and while walking outside, he said: "Then Gao Shi should go back and do some work, I'm really tired."

With his back to the high-arched Emperor Longqing, a smile appeared on his face, and his heart had already flown to the soft jade in the harem.

Looking at the back of Emperor Longqing leaving in a hurry, Gao Gong's face was full of disappointment, and he murmured to himself:
"Is this the emperor I've been longing for?"

Gao Gong walked out of the gate, his spine became a little rickety!
In any case, Gao Gong's meeting with Emperor Longqing this time was still fruitful.The next day, Emperor Longqing finally went to court.

Luo Xin walked into the Meridian Gate and saw Gao Gong who was walking towards the Qianqing Palace.Then he took two steps and saluted:
"Elder Gaoge."

"Is it a weapon?" Gao Gong slowed down.

Luo Xin said softly: "Thanks to the elder Ge's advice to His Majesty, today's morning court is possible."

"Ugh……"

Gao Gong sighed, and briefly told Luo Xin about the conversation he had with Emperor Longqing. Luo Xin couldn't help showing bitterness when he heard it.

"Our Majesty... really..."

"What do you say?" Gao Gong put his hand on his forehead.

"Elder Gao Ge didn't tell His Majesty about Xu Jie?"

"No!" Gao Gong said with a wry smile, "How can there be a chance? Your Majesty seems to have been hooked... After talking to me about the court, he left in a hurry."

Although Gao Gong swallowed the word "hun" that was "soul-wrenching", Luo Xin had understood it, and thought to himself, His Majesty was naturally seduced by a woman in the harem!

The two people were talking, and they approached the Qianqing Palace. Xu Jie saw Gao Gong and Luo Xin whispering, and sighed in his heart, and said to Zhang Juzheng in a low voice:
"Taiyue, look at Gao Gong and Buqi, they are very close! Our appointment as a reserve has made the relationship between the two of them even closer."

Xu Jie controlled Ma Sen at the beginning, and although Ma Sen was thrown into prison, Xu Jie still cultivated several secret eunuchs and spies in the palace.Emperor Longqing, Gao Gong, and Luo Xin secretly discussed the matter of setting up the crown prince, and the eunuch spies secretly reported to Xu Jie, and Xu Jie decisively let Zhang Juzheng take a step ahead.

However, now it seems that the effect is very small.
