"I don't know what happened to Your Majesty's summoning of the ministers and others," Gao Gong, as the head of the cabinet, asked first.

Longqing poured a lot of tea into his stomach, and then he felt better, and he didn't know if it was because of the hot weather or because he saw Zhang Fan's excerpts just now, anyway, he felt uncomfortable, and now when Gao Gong asked, Longqing's mood was also a little calmer.

"It's coming," Long Qing's voice didn't have any emotions in it, so that no one in front of him could guess what clue there was, "Guess, what I asked you to come for when I came, among the five of you, four are cabinet ministers, and one is Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, all of them are extremely smart people, guess, guess wrong, no punishment, of course, guess right, there is no reward," maybe in order to extinguish the little fire left just now, Long Qing suddenly started a dumb riddle with a few people.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, they were able to climb to their current position, naturally as Long Qing said, they were extremely smart characters, and the best thing was to observe words and looks, but even if the four of them saw that there were most jokes in Long Qing's words, no one dared to step forward and speak first.

"What's the matter, why didn't anyone speak," Long Qing glanced at a few people with his eyes closed, and said in a slightly mocking tone, "On weekdays, everyone in the court hall is like a sutra feast, arguing with reason, even if a small word can be grasped and said for a long time, why are they all silent now,"

The five people listened to Longqing's words, and they didn't even look at the people next to them, they all lowered their heads, isn't this nonsense, when they were in the court, there were many people, and they were very courageous, even if they said something wrong, the emperor might not be blamed, and at this time, just like that, the five people faced the emperor, in case they said something wrong, the emperor heard it clearly, and the most important thing is that although several people have a rough idea on the psychological side, they are not sure, in case they say something wrong, or say something that Longqing does not want to hear, it will be bad, After all, the emperor is also a human being, and the so-called human heart is unpredictable, in case you guess wrong, hehe, accompany the king like a tiger, and guess the consequences yourself.

"Still no one wants to say," Long Qing looked at the five people who had bowed their heads and were silent, and even had a smile on their faces, "Since the five people are willing to volunteer, then I will order," Long Qing stretched out his finger and went back and forth on the five people.

Gao Gong, Guo Pu and Tan Lun suddenly became nervous, every time Long Qing's finger pointed at one of them, that person was extremely nervous, but Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang were unmoved, Zhang Juzheng still looked like a person who did not refuse, as for Li Chunfang, hehe, his desireless and wantless look looked like an immortal who was about to soar.

Long Qing looked at the different expressions of several people, and felt very interesting in his heart, although there are many opportunities to play with the ministers of the court like this, but there are still not many opportunities to play so interestingly, Long Qing looked at the expressionless faces of Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang, and felt a little boring, so he let go of the two of them, and turned his gaze to the remaining three.

Guo Pu is completely Gao Gong's follower, maybe he used to have some opinions, but since Gao Gong became the first assistant of the cabinet, this Guo Pu has been completely silent, and he only knows to follow Gao Gong.

Tan Lun, this person is also a bit eloquent, in the east has also repelled the Japanese many times, can be the same name as Qi Jiguang, when the two are called "Tan Qi", now, Tan Lun to the left of the military department and the right of the imperial history, the governor of thistle, Liao, Baoding military affairs, and Qi Jiguang are jointly responsible for training, this time if it is not for Zhao Bingran, the secretary of the military department, to return home to recuperate, it is estimated that he is still guarding in northern Xinjiang, just now Tan Lun was afraid that Longqing pointed to himself is not because there is a ghost in his heart or anything, but since he joined the office, he has been an official outside, and he has very little time in Beijing, now that he is the secretary of the military department, he doesn't have much time, and he doesn't know how to talk to the emperor.

So in the end, only Gao Gong is left, Gao Gong's personality is very bold, but now he has been cultivated by Xu Jie's cunning, not that Xu Jie's treacherous cultivation of his cunning, Gao Gong is also a scholar, and the fact that civil officials can do it as a cabinet minister means that there are two brushes, and Xu Jie's inner character is just provoking his inner character.

With Long Qing's fingers and the eyes of the other four people on his body, Gao Gong can now be regarded as the most direct experience of what it means to be like a thorn in the eyes, which is even more uncomfortable than a real needle piercing his body, Gao Gong saw that the situation had to come out and speak by himself, and he took the initiative to stand up without waiting for Long Qing to speak.

"Your Majesty, as the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, he should be the head of the hundred officials, so it's up to the minister to guess," Gao Gong said with a smile, but anyone could see the helplessness in his smile.

Long Qing was also happy to hear him say this, it was supposed to be his time to speak, and he couldn't run away, but this high arch hit a rake, and took the initiative to stand up against the guest.

Long Qing didn't break it, and said: "Since Gao Aiqing recommended herself, I am also an adult, and I will allow Aiqing to guess,"

"Thank Your Majesty for your permission, and please forgive your Majesty for being bold," Gao Gong was also unambiguous, "Now it is just after the next court, and it is almost noon, Your Majesty is calling the ministers and others at this moment, there must be something important, presumably Your Majesty has just gotten some news,"

When Long Qing heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, but the other four people below, even Guo Pu, who was wearing the same pants as Gao Gong, couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at Gao Gong, "This news was obviously told to you by the eunuch who led the way just now, and you actually took it out to play with the treasure," everyone thought of it in their hearts.

Gao Gong naturally saw the eyes of others and the meaning contained in them, but he was very thick-skinned and didn't care, and continued: "The minister didn't know what His Majesty asked me to wait for, especially when I saw the other four ministers coming together, in addition to knowing that something big had happened, the others were clueless, until Lord Tan arrived, and Weichen saw a clue,"

Long Qing was very interested in hearing this, and couldn't help urging: "Go on,"

"The minister thought at the time, Lord Tan is the left servant of the Ministry of War, and now Lord Zhao Bingran, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has not yet returned to office, so Lord Tan is also in charge of the Ministry of War, since Lord Tan is here, presumably His Majesty is looking for ministers and other things to do, must be related to the war," Gao Gong talked about it, in fact, there was nothing special, and the people present also understood it very well, this is not that Gao Gong's qualifications are mediocre, and he can't guess anything special, but something is "special", and Gao Gong is just thinking about it in his heart and forgetting it immediately, I'm afraid I'll say it when I dream.

But where did Long Qing know this, he was happy for a while when he heard Gao Gong's words, at least Gao Gong guessed that he was not far from ten.

But Long Qing was not happy for a while, and he saw an embarrassed expression on Gao Gong's face, and he couldn't help but be puzzled: "Gao Aiqing, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is very puzzled," Gao Gong said, "Although what the minister just said seems to be reasonable, but it is completely wrong, such as today's peace, under the emperor's wisdom, where will there be a disaster of swords and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, just say that the remnants of the Yuan and Mongolia in Northern Xinjiang are not in the same market as my Ming Dynasty,"

When the four people on the side heard Gao Gong's words, the contemptuous gaze that fell on him became even more serious, and even Guo Pu had an expression of "I don't know him, I want to draw a line with him", and even Long Qing had an expression like eating a fly when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

But then Long Qing laughed: "You Gao Gong, now you have learned to be flamboyant, no matter what, I will no longer tease you anymore, I did call you here because there are some military matters to discuss with a few of you,"

Several people listened to Long Qing's words, and looked at each other again, although they had already guessed that it was not far from ten, but Long Qing said it so clearly, it still made you a little confused about what to say.

Tan Lun, as the acting secretary of the Ministry of War and the governor of Northern Xinjiang, naturally thought of going over there: "Your Majesty, is it because the Tartars in the north are not keeping their promises, and you think that the soldiers are not able to commit crimes on my frontier," but Tan Lun also had doubts in his heart, although he is now in Beijing, he has never relaxed the affairs of northern Xinjiang, and often has correspondence with his subordinates, and he has never seen any movement in the north in recent correspondence.

"Governor Tan Aiqing's three places in northern Xinjiang, my heart is here, which makes me very relieved," Long Qing praised Tan Lun slightly, and then said, "But this matter has nothing to do with the north, now that the mutual market has been opened, everything is very stable, this matter is just like what Gao Aiqing said just now, it is not my inner business, but about foreign races, this matter is also very small, but I don't see it that way, this is an excerpt handed to me by Zhang Fan, you can take it and see it yourself," as he spoke, Long Qing pointed to a book of excerpts on the bookcase.

Everyone listened, and several people except Li Chunfang looked at Zhang Juzheng again, Zhang Juzheng didn't see anything about it, Gao Gong saw that he couldn't see any clues, and walked forward to pick up the fold and came back, and looked at it carefully.

There weren't many words on the fold, and a few people read it quickly, but some people's expressions were still the same as before, unchanged; Some people have an indifferent expression, as if they don't take the matter seriously; And some people were excited by Xie.

Tan Lun was the one who was a little excited, he put the fold back on Longqing's bookcase, and after standing back, he couldn't calm down.

Looking at Tan Lun, Long Qing opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think?"

This time, Zhang Juzheng stood up first: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhang Fan was named by Your Majesty, as a messenger to inspect Jiangnan, but he went to Fujian without authorization, this move is really disrespectful to Your Majesty, and please punish Your Majesty,"

A few people next to him looked at Zhang Juzheng, and thought at the same time in their hearts: "This is the beginning of the impeachment of his own students, do you want to get rid of the involvement?"

Long Qing didn't care: "Although I asked Zhang Fan to inspect Jiangnan, I didn't say that he had to stay in Jiangnan and couldn't leave there an inch, not to mention that Zhang Fan's move was also for the sake of the safety of my Ming people, Zhang Aiqing, don't be nitpicky, let's get down to business,"
