The people who defected to Wei Zhongxian before, seeing that Wei Zhongxian was dying, and the emperor deliberately promoted Cui Chengxiu, a new talent, immediately rushed into Cui Chengxiu's account.

Politics is never a warm vein, and officialdom is not a river and lake, you will not defend him everywhere because of who is kind to you, nor will you wholeheartedly oppose him because you are not good to him. Cui Chengxiu saw that he was getting more and more powerful, and the leaders of the eunuch party began to move to open up the joints and tie up Cui Chengxiu, since he was close to Cui Chengxiu, of course he would blame Wei Zhongxian, and the current situation is that a large number of people would rather offend Wei Zhongxian than carefully slap Cui Chengxiu and gamble on their future

On March 20, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Tianqi issued an edict, crowning Cui Chengxiu as the Marquis of Ji, the prince of the Ministry of War, the prince of the Ministry of War, and the imperial history of the left capital of the Inspectorate, and was edicted to enter the cabinet!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this edict, in the eyes of most bureaucrats, was understood as the Emperor of the Apocalypse planned to abandon Wei Zhongxian and support Cui Chengxiu to take over Wei Zhongxian's class, and even Cui Chengxiu himself thought so.

On this day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered the celebrant Wang Tiqian to read the edict, and there was an uproar in the court, Wang Zhizheng raised his head and secretly observed the reaction of hundreds of officials, only to see Wei Zhongxian's face pale, Cui Chengxiu tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Wang Tiqian's face was expressionless, and Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, sneered, obviously laughing at Cui Chengxiu as a chess piece. The civil and military officials exchanged their heads and secretly discussed.

Choi Chengxiu knelt on the ground and thanked him excitedly. It was a real joy for him.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Everyone, Aiqing, I consider that Gonggong Wei is too old, and I am afraid that he will work too hard, so I promoted a deputy to help Gonggong Wei on errands. Perfect for this position. ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled coldly, held the wat board out of the class and said: "The emperor has a good eye, Cui Shaobao, oh no, Cui Taibao is indeed a talent, and can solve problems for the factory minister (referring to Wei Zhongxian), but Weichen believes that after all, the factory minister has worked hard for many years, and while promoting Cui Taibao, the minister suggested that the factory minister should also be promoted to the knight." ”

Wei Zhongxian cast a grateful look at Wang Zhizheng, and then smiled and went out of class to excuse himself: "Commander Wang, you love the old slave, the old slave has it, but I am old and don't want to have any status, please long live the lord without sealing." ”

Wang Zhizheng reminded that Emperor Tianqi felt justified, and only promoting Cui Chengxiu would inevitably make Cui Chengxiu too arrogant, considering the balance of the court, Wei Zhongxian should indeed be given some false name.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian with a smile and said: "Wang Aiqing is right, I also have this meaning, and the decree is to crown Wei Zhongxian as a first-class duke, ranking above all dukes!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately knelt down and resigned: "Long live, never again!" The old slave is just a eunuch, who is favored by the emperor, and is already a high authority, so he must not be sealed again!"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, he has done everything very well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is even exaggerating. Wei Zhongxian's glory this time, Emperor Apocalypse was really not perfunctory, which also made Wang Zhizheng slightly surprised.

At this time, Cui Chengxiu cast a complaining look at Wang Zhizheng, and Wang Zhizheng didn't look at him.

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Do a good job, I am willing to be sealed, you don't have to refuse!"

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and thanked him again and again.

Huang Li, the first assistant of the cabinet, said loudly: "My emperor Shengming!"

The civil and military officials followed Huang Li and shouted loudly: "My Emperor Shengming!"

Only the Donglin Party, Bai Hongmin, the secretary of the Ministry of Labor, Wu Jue, the squire of the Ministry of War, and the Donglin Party led by Yan of the Imperial History Party did not follow Gao Hu.

Emperor Tianqi crowned Wei Zhongxian, and said to Wang Zhizheng with a smile: "Wang Aiqing, since you took over the Praetorian Guard, the security in the capital has improved greatly, and you are also meritorious. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded! Spread the decree, crown Wang Zhizheng as the crown prince and young protector, and order the post of the commander of the Praetorian Guard to not waver within five years, and reward 50 catties of gold! Well, other people should also be rewarded, deputy commanders Jiang Nai, Huang Hengruo, Wang Zhiyi, Wang Liangfu, Xie Zhenglong, these few people, all of them were crowned barons and rewarded with 10 catties of gold! The Ministry of Rites specifically discussed the matter of sealing the seal! Withdraw from the dynasty!

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, flicked his sleeves, and with the support of Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian, he couldn't help but go down, and dropped a series of heart-rending coughs.

Listening to the heart-rending cough of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang Zhizheng felt a pang of worry.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already returned to the court, and he stood next to the dragon chair and said with a smile: "Thanks to the emperor's love, in fact, the old slave feels deserved, but since Cui Taibao is well deserved, the old slave is even more deserved!" Wei Zhongxian sarcastically mocked Cui Chengxiu.

A burst of laughter erupted in the courtroom.

Cui Chengxiu's heart was full of anger, but Cui Chengxiu was Cui Chengxiu after all, and the smiling tiger would not be angry, so I saw Cui Chengxiu walking to Wei Zhongxian's side with a slight smile and giving a deep salute: "Nine thousand years old, the emperor loves you, and he also loves you." In the next Bucai, although he only barely helped the emperor on an errand, he was affirmed by the emperor, so he was sealed, which was obtained by hard work, of course, he deserved it. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a nine-thousand-year-old to compare me to you, right?"

Cui Chengxiu said, staring at Wei Zhongxian provocatively.

Wei Zhongxian squinted at Cui Chengxiu, who was a villain: "It's not suitable." Long live the Lord put me and Cui Taibao together, this is the biggest inappropriateness. ”

Cui Chengxiu grinned and said to the ministers: "Colleagues, Chengxiu is not talented, and he bears a heavy burden of thousands of catties, and he will be lifted up by all his colleagues in the future!" After that, he bowed a ninety-degree bow to the courtiers humbly and politely.

Wang Zhizheng felt a wave of gagging.

As a result, Cui Chengxiu's minions all shouted loudly: "Don't worry, Cui Taibao, my you will do your best to assist." "Cui Shaobao is up!"

Wei Zhongxian stared coldly, and the loudest shouts were Li Kuilong, one of the "Five Tigers", and Tian Ji, a squire in the military department, who had already beaten Wei Zhongxian and defected to the new master Cui Chengxiu.

Wei Zhongxian coldly counted the group of minions under Cui Chengxiu.

Wang Zhizheng came out of class and said loudly: "Whether it is Cui Shaobao or nine thousand years old, as long as you share the emperor's worries and solve problems, I Wang Zhizheng will guarantee to support whom!"

Wang Zhizheng said a high-sounding scene, Cui Chengxiu showed disappointment, Wei Zhongxian looked at Cui Chengxiu's face full of disappointment, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that only Zheng'er will not betray the old slave!

Cui Chengxiu was very annoyed in his heart, it seems that you Wang Zhizheng doesn't know the height of the sky if you don't knock and knock! Obviously holding your handle, you are still being false to me.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian coldly glanced at the courtiers and said: "Suddenly rich and noble, think about the reason why the emperor values you, especially some upstarts, and you can't get carried away because you are rich, you don't know how thick the sky is, you must understand your own weight, know how many catties and taels you have, think about it clearly!"

After that, Wei Zhongxian coldly flicked the sleeves of his robe, and most of them brushed their sleeves away, leaving behind a large number of stunned courtiers and Cui Chengxiu, whose face was pale
