This eunuch, hearing the commotion, rushed to Qianyuan Palace at top speed, panting and struggling to catch his breath. In the cold winter air, two plumes of vapor escaped from his nostrils.,Last June, the late Emperor Longqing ascended to heaven while on a journey. He left behind three assistant ministers: Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and Gao Yi. At this time, Gao Yi had already passed away, and Gao Gong was expelled from the cabinet. The three assistant ministers were reduced to two, leaving only Zhang Juzheng alone.,The former emperor died young, leaving behind an orphaned son and a widowed mother.
