The location of the Ming Cabinet is mostly referred to as Wenyuan Pavilion in later generations, in fact, this statement is slightly inaccurate. The fact is that Wenyuan Pavilion is not equal to the cabinet, it is essentially a library building of the highest level in the imperial court, but the duty rooms of the cabinet ministers are indeed in the Wenyuan Pavilion complex.

Chen Hong led people to the cabinet duty room, and according to the rules, he first saluted the Confucius and the four statues in the main hall, and then asked his relatives to invite Guo Pu and Zhang Juzheng, and he went to see Gao Gong in person.

Gao Gong is worthy of being a workaholic, this afternoon because he had to stay in the cabinet and wait for the emperor's illness to report and did not return to the ministry, but asked the ministry to send a large number of documents to the cabinet for approval, and was working at this time.

He is not pretending, because Gao Gong usually rarely takes a lunch break, just after lunch, he made three promotion decisions: promoted to Zhao Yan, the Shaoqing of Nanjing Taifu Temple, as the secretary of Taifu Temple; Liu Kan, who was promoted to the right of the Sichuan Political Division, was appointed as the Guizhou Inspector; Chen Shandao, the deputy envoy of the Shaanxi Provincial Prosecutor's Department, participated in politics for the right of the Sichuan Political Division.

When Chen Hong came to see him, he had just finished writing the ticket.

"Yuanfu, the emperor has summoned the three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet to be ordered by the Qianqing Palace!" The situation was urgent, Chen Hong didn't say anything about it, and after coming in, he bowed casually and said hurriedly.

Gao Gong's hand holding the pen shook and quickly put it down, Huo Ran stood up and asked, "How is the emperor?" ”

Chen Hong's face darkened, and he sighed: "Yuan Fu is here, I'm afraid he will be taken care of...... Motosuke be careful! ”

The tall arched burly body shook slightly, and he reached out and grabbed the corner of the table to stabilize his figure, but his face was already flushed sickly.

Chen Hong asked worriedly, "Yuanfu...... You okay? ”

Gao Gong waved his hand at Chen Hong, and walked out with a somewhat hollow gaze. Chen Hong hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said: "Yuanfu, you have to be careful now, if the emperor is really ...... There is really a case, you are the white jade pillar of the imperial court, the purple gold beam of the sea, and you must not have any more accidents at this time! ”

Gao Gong gently pushed away Chen Hong's hand and sighed: "The emperor is not confused before he is in time, but in such a situation, I Gao Gong is an auxiliary minister, and my sin cannot be forgiven." ”

"The emperor's ......" Chen Hong was promoted by the emperor, and when he mentioned the emperor's body bones, he also sighed: "You also know the emperor's body and bones, and you are really born weak, if you want to say that you are guilty, then I and these people, all of them are sins and deserve death." ”

Gao Gong stopped talking, dragging two legs that seemed to be filled with lead and walked out, Chen Hong chased after him and continued: "Yuanfu, the current situation in the DPRK and China is decided, if it is...... You've got to have a plan. ”

Hearing this, Gao Gong suddenly stood still, turned his head to look at him, and said, "What do I have to worry about?" Everything is waiting to see the emperor, listen to the emperor's orders. ”

Chen Hong's lips moved, and he didn't say anything after all, just nodded heavily.

After leaving the duty room and arriving at the middle hall, Guo Pu was already there. The second assistant's face was also a little ugly, and he was pacing with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gao Gong saw that he was the only one here, and couldn't help asking, "What about Taiyue?" ”

Guo Pugang shook his head, and heard Zhang Juzheng's somewhat hoarse voice on the other side: "Tired Xuan Lao, Dong Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”

The two turned their heads to look, and sure enough, it was Zhang Juzheng hurriedly walking from his duty room. Zhang Juzheng's face was worse than Gao Gong and Guo Pu, and his face was pale.

Guo Pu usually pays more attention to self-cultivation than Gao Gong, and his eyesight is much better, and he can see at a glance that Zhang Juzheng's face is smeared with a layer of powder, but even so, there are still dark circles under his eyes that can't be hidden. He couldn't help but ask, "Taiyue is sick?" ”

Gao Gong didn't pay attention to Zhang Juzheng's face, but after listening to Guo Pu's question, he looked at it carefully, and then said in surprise: "Wasn't it okay yesterday, why did you get sick overnight?" ”

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said: "The second elder doesn't need to worry about me, Juzheng just thinks about the saint's illness and doesn't sleep well, so it's okay." ”

Gao Gong didn't understand medical theory, so he only comforted when he heard the words: "The situation is like this, Taiyue should take care." ”

Zhang Juzheng responded casually.

Guo Pu looked at him a few times, but there was a little hesitation in his eyes, and said tentatively: "Taiyue, I see that you are sweating when you move a little, your eyes are red and your eyes are yellow, as if you have a yin deficiency and a blazing fire?" ”

Zhang Juzheng was stunned and laughed: "Dong Lao is still good at medicine? ”

Guo Pu took advantage of his mouth to open his mouth, glanced at his tongue again, and said in a deep voice: "If the kidney water is lost, the mouth and throat will be dry, the tongue coating will be thin and black, and the pulse will be thin; Yang hyperactivity does not enter yin, and yin deficiency cannot absorb yang, so it does not sleep. ”

Gao Gong frowned slightly, not knowing what Guo Pu was doing about Zhang Juzheng's little illness, but Zhang Juzheng coughed dryly and said, "It's just a small illness, it's not enough to worry about it...... Your Majesty summonsed, I'd better go earlier, don't make Your Majesty wait for a long time. ”

Zhang Juzheng's statement, Gao Gong felt reasonable, so he nodded, and the three of them left the cabinet together with Chen Hong.

Although the status of the three auxiliary ministers is respected, they still cannot ride horses and sit in sedan chairs in the Forbidden City, so they can only be led by Chen Hong to the Qianqing Palace on foot, and several small eunuchs follow behind.

Zhang Juzheng was a little afraid that Guo Pu would continue to discuss his "condition", so he subconsciously hung at the end. Fortunately, Guo Pu seemed to just say it in passing, and he didn't mean to continue to entangle, and walked forward with a calm face like Gao Gong.

The cabinet ministers were ordered to go to the Qianqing Palace from the cabinet, not to take the central axis of the Forbidden City on the side of the Huangji Palace, but to go all the way north along the path between the Wenhua Hall and the Chonglou, turn left through the Arrow Pavilion, pass through the Jingyun Gate, and then walk a short distance to the Qianqing Gate and turn right into the Qianqing Palace.

The front is okay, although Zhang Juzheng dragged behind and hung slowly, but only deliberately, after the arrow pavilion, Gao Gong and Guo Pu had already passed through the Jingyun Gate, but Zhang Juzheng was already out of breath, sweating profusely, and his mouth was dry, so he had to bend over and hold on to the white marble railing to take a breath.

Chen Hong has been following behind Gao Gong, and at this time he has passed the Jingyun Gate, and he can't see Zhang Juzheng's situation, but the little eunuch next to him has been paying attention, and when he saw that Zhang Juzheng had fallen behind, he hurriedly told Chen Hong.

Chen Hong turned his head to look at it, and hurriedly ordered: "You two, quickly send some tea to Zhang Ge Lao to drink." ”

Gao Gong and Guo Pu only then knew about Zhang Juzheng's situation, and Gao Gong secretly thought: The emperor summoned the three auxiliary ministers, if only me and the husband went, but Zhang Taiyue was left behind, I was afraid that I was squeezing him out, so it was better to wait for him.

So Gao Gong stood still, waiting for Zhang Juzheng to take a breath and rush over.

Guo Pu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said to Gao Gong: "Su Qing, don't you think there is something wrong with him today?" ”

Gao Gong's mind was not on this, and he just said, "Well, yes, I'm a little sick...... He's more than a dozen years younger than the two of us, why is his body like this, isn't it good to look at it usually? ”

Guo Pu frowned and didn't say anything, Gao Gong suddenly felt a little abnormal, his face became more solemn, and he turned his head and asked, "Brother Qianfu, is there something wrong?" When you were in the cabinet, you said how he came from? ”

"He said that he couldn't sleep because of the emperor's illness, but I was afraid otherwise." Guo Pu explained: "Judging from his appearance, yang hyperactivity does not enter yin, and yin deficiency cannot absorb yang, so he does not sleep. And he sweated when he moved a little today, his eyes were red and his eyes were yellow, this was the state of yin deficiency and fire, plus ......"

Gao Gong didn't understand very well, stretched out his hand to stop Guo Pu's words, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Qianfu, you also know that I don't understand medical science, can you explain it more simply?" ”

Guo Pu smiled to himself and said, "But I forgot...... I mean, he probably used tiger wolf medicine yesterday and overdosed. ”

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment before he realized what Guo Pu meant by the "tiger wolf medicine", the smile on his face suddenly retreated, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and asked, "Brother Qianfu is serious?" Can you be sure? ”

Guo Pu sighed and said, "Now that there are a bunch of imperial doctors in the Qianqing Palace, if you can't believe in my half-pulled medical skills, let the imperial doctors take a look at it later." ”

What this means is that it is nine times out of ten.

Gao Gong only felt that his temples jumped abruptly a few times, and the scenery in front of him seemed to shake a few times.

"It seems that when the emperor explains the matter, I really have to ask!" Gao Gong gritted his teeth.
