Wei Zhongxian is illiterate, even if he has been literate in the past few years, it is not easy to read such a large paragraph smoothly, which shows how much work has been put into it.

The long story was exhaustive, for nearly half an hour, and the ministers below listened quietly, without a trace of noise or movement.

Zhou Zheng listened, his eyes searching the hall.

Many people in front of them looked happy and undisguised, and a few people showed angry faces, indifferent, and unwilling, and the other people were almost indifferent and couldn't see any expressions.

Zhou Zheng looked at the apocalypse from afar, only to see that he sat upright, couldn't see his expression clearly, didn't cough, and occasionally drank tea, not at all like a serious illness and dying.

Wei Zhongxian finally finished reading, he put down the holy decree, looked at the ministers with a smile, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions?" ”

His voice was not so sharp, and it was still a little rich, but when the people in the hall listened, there was a sense of gloom and compassion, and for a while, no one spoke.

These were set a long time ago, and they were the unanimous opinion of the high-level officials of the imperial court, and the reward catalogue was issued a few days ago.

Zhou Zheng stood behind Hu Qingzheng, expressionless.

Wei Zhongxian's career is also a matter of these two years, the third year of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party is in the Ying Dynasty, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian opened the first prison, and sent Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others, one of the leaders of Donglin, to the edict prison and tortured to death.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Zhao Nanxing, another big man in Donglin, was forced to become a master, and then planted him, sent him to death.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Li Shi impeached Zhou Qiyuan, the governor of Yingtian, and Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to raise the prison again, and sent Zhou Qiyuan, Huang Zunsu, Zhou Jianzong and other Donglin backbones into the edict prison, forcing the last boss of Donglin, Gao Panlong to commit suicide in the lake at home.

At this point, the Donglin Party was destroyed, the Eunuch Party dominated the court, and Wei Zhongxian was called 'Duke Wei'.

But in less than three years, Wei Zhongxian has done something unprecedented, as an internal supervisor, leading the court situation, controlling the military and political affairs inside and outside, with unprecedented power, and even crowned the title of 'nine thousand years old and nine hundred years old'!

Nowadays, the cabinet of the imperial court, the six ministries and nine temples, are all Wei Zhongxian's people, without exception!

Wei Zhongxian's voice fell, and the hall was silent.

Many people looked excited, and below, it was the official reward.

Seeing that no one was talking, Wei Zhongxian smiled and retreated.

Then an internal supervisor stepped forward, first cleared his throat, and said: "Feng, the emperor is carrying the emperor's edict, saying: The factory ministers are loyal and virtuous, and they are cautious and planing for thousands of miles...... Rank the superior duke, the third class, and give 20,000 hectares of incense and fireland......"

The people in the Jinluan Hall hadn't noticed it yet, but when they got to the back, they changed color one by one, their faces were a little panicked, and they even whispered.

Zhou Zheng didn't know why, this was nothing more than Wei Zhongxian's merit, and the reward given to him was nothing?

Listening to the increasing buzz in the hall, Zhou Zheng glanced at Cheng Shangjie beside him, and saw that his eyes were wide open, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, and his heart became more and more puzzled, leaned forward, and asked Hu Qingzheng in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Hu Qingzheng's expression was a little pale, his eyes kept looking ahead, listening to Zhou Zheng's question, quietly wiped the cold sweat on his head, leaned back and whispered: "Jiu Xiwen." ”

Zhou Zheng listened, his eyes changed in horror.

Jiuxiwen, he hasn't read it, he doesn't know what format it is, but he knows what 'Jiuxiwen' is!

This is mainly because of Cao Cao!

At that time, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and was later 'given nine tins' and named 'Duke of Wei'.

Jiuxi itself is nothing, it is the emperor's reward, the highest courtesy to the minister. The key is that Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Zhao, and even Yang Jian and Li Yuan have all received Jiuxi.

Therefore, 'Jiuxi' has become synonymous with usurpation!

Today, the edict to reward Wei Zhongxian is actually modeled on the 'Jiuxi text', what does this mean?

The hall was buzzing and growing.

I don't know how long it took, but the inner eunuch finally finished reading, and the back looked at the courtiers in the hall with displeasure, and coughed heavily.

The courtiers were suddenly quiet, I don't know how many pairs of eyes looked at the apocalypse, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian, all kinds of panicked expressions, without concealing it.

The inner supervisor ignored the courtier's meaning, took out another holy decree, and continued to read it.

This holy decree sealed the titles of duke, marquis, and earl of the Wei family, two of which were less than three months old, so they did not appear in the court.

Then, it was Wei Zhao, Ke Guangxian, Hou Guoxing and others who added the crown prince and the like one after another, and rewarded countless rewards.

Then, there is the cabinet of the eunuch party, the high-ranking officials of the six ministries, one by one, who have been added to the knighthood, and have countless titles.

The so-called one-man ascension to heaven is nothing more than that.

Even with this absurdity, the court was still very quiet, and no one spoke.

This kind of silence makes people feel oppressive, like the calm before a storm.

Zhou Zheng noticed it, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and waited quietly.

At the end of the reward were Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui and others, who were only promoted by one level, and there were no extra rewards, which was in stark contrast to the richness of the last time.

The three of them stepped forward, raised their hands to receive the order, their expressions were calm all the time, and they had obviously accepted this fact.

I don't know how long it took for these rewards to come to an end.

The inner eunuch handed the last holy decree to Yuan Chonghuan and returned to His Majesty.

In the main hall, the silence is terrible, and the needle drop can be heard!

Tianqi looked down at the hall, perhaps a little unaccustomed to such quietness, and said loudly: "Do you have other things to do?" ”

"The ministers supervise the imperial history, and there is a song in the last section." Apocalypse's voice fell, and Cheng Shangjie, who was beside Zhou Zheng, suddenly took two steps, turned around and raised his hand to Apocalypse, and said in a loud voice.

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, Cheng Shangjie went out?

Hu Qingzheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Cheng Shangjie in surprise.

Apocalypse, and even the courtiers were a little surprised, and they all looked at Cheng Shangjie.

"What did Cheng Aiqing do?" Apocalypse asked.

Cheng Shangjie raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has three things that I don't know. First, the minister doesn't know, what does the frontier war have to do with the internal prison? ”

Cheng Shangjie's voice fell, and the hall seemed to have been knocked by something, and it became even quieter.

Zhou Zheng looked at Cheng Shangjie and was very surprised, this silent person who had been standing beside him would actually be the one who fired the first shot!

Zhou Zheng seemed to be able to feel the hearts of many people beating violently, and at the same time held his breath.

Cheng Shangjie's sentence is straight to the point!

It is taboo for Wenchen to collude with the border commander, and it is a taboo for the internal supervisor to collude with the border commander!

The hall was quiet for I don't know how long, and suddenly an inner supervisor stepped forward and reprimanded him sharply: "Bold! Eunuch Wei is planning for the emperor and the country for my Ming Dynasty, is it possible that Liaodong is victorious, why is it wrong for Eunuch Wei? ”

If this kind of sophistry were to be placed at any other time, it would be too weak for anyone to believe it.

But no one in the hall spoke, knowing what was going on, and looked at the apocalypse.

Cheng Shangjie had no fear on his face, ignored the inner eunuch, kept looking at the apocalypse, and said, "I don't know, does Eunuch Wei want to follow Wang Zhen's example?" ”

This is an old thing in the Yingzong period, Wang Zhen is the inner supervisor of Yingzong's favor, he pulled out the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's Qin set up 'ministers are not allowed to interfere in the government' stele, and even instigated Yingzong's imperial drive to conquer Wara, the result was a big defeat, Yingzong was captured, the Ming Dynasty was besieged, and almost lost the country!

This is the change of the civil fort.

Therefore, Wang Zhen is a complete traitorous eunuch, irrefutable!

Wei Zhongxian listened above His Majesty, his face gloomy and terrifying.

Every word of the last section of this journey poked at his sore spot, and there was already murderous intent floating in his eyes.

The apocalypse didn't speak, and the others in the hall didn't dare to speak.

It's not that they don't want to defend Wei Zhongxian, it's that Cheng Shangjie's words are too taboo!

This time, there was no internal supervisor to defend Wei Zhongxian, because they might not know about Wang Zhen, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare to talk nonsense!

Cheng Shangjie felt the calm in the hall, and also noticed the cold meaning in those eyes, as if he was at ease, and said: "I don't know, the Wei eunuch is said to be nine thousand nine hundred years old, and now he has received nine tin, there is no top, there is no seal, and there will be merit in the future, what should I do?" ”

This sentence is to ask, when did Wei Zhongxian rebel and usurp the throne.

The hall was so quiet that there was not a single sound.

Big drops of cold sweat fell on Hu Qingzheng's face, but he held his big belly and didn't move.

Zhou Zheng looked at Cheng Shangjie, who had white temples and indifferent faces, and there was nothing else in his heart except admiration.

At such a time, daring to say such a thing is already a will to die.

In the main hall, there was still not a single sound.

Tianqi sat still, did not lean over as usual, and asked Huang Liji, "What does Huang Aiqing think?"

Wei Zhongxian stood not far behind Tianqi, his face gloomy and about to drip ink, and his eyes were full of murderous intent like a substance.

The courtiers bowed their heads one after another, not daring to speak.

Who dares to defend Wei Zhongxian, who is suspected of plotting rebellion, and how to defend it?

It's true that they are eunuchs, but they are all courtiers of the apocalypse!

The heart of heaven is unpredictable!

"The minister asks the emperor to answer." In the silence, Cheng Shangjie looked at the apocalypse again and asked loudly.

It's forcing the apocalypse!

The courtiers were terrified, and although they lowered their heads, their eyes flickered endlessly at the apocalypse.

Wei Zhongxian went to stay, life and death depended on the will of the apocalypse, the apocalypse wanted Wei Zhongxian to die, many of them would immediately turn the gun and try their best to help the apocalypse kill Wei Zhongxian!

Tianqi sat upright, and after a while, he spoke: "Wei Qing, what do you say?" ”

Wei Zhongxian seemed to have just reacted, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said loudly in panic: "Long live Lord, everything is given by you, and the slave is not what he said." These rewards are not what the slave and maid want, the slave and the maid are eunuchs, there is no before and after, and they only want to serve the emperor and share their worries for the emperor. Those, the slaves and maids don't want it, it's useless to ask for it, please take back the emperor's order, don't ...... slaves and maids"

Tianqi sat down, listening to Wei Zhongxian's voice, for a while, looked at Huang Liji in front of him, and said, "Shoufu, the edict was drafted by you, and you come to answer Cheng Aiqing's three ignorances." ”

Huang Liji raised his hand, was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called three ignorances are nonsense, and the minister thinks that there is no need to answer, and Cheng Shangjie should be driven out of the court to correct the court." ”

Huang Liji's words are very level, saying that Cheng Shangjie is talking nonsense, but he does not deny what Cheng Shangjie said; Driving out of the court, instead of going into the prison to ask for the crime, also left a way back.

"Xiaguan Yang is against it." At this time, not far from Zhou Zheng, another person stood up.

Zhou Zheng knew that this was the supervision of the imperial history of Fujian Province.

Yang Suoxiu raised his hand, looked at Huang Liji, and said, "Lord Huang, Your Majesty is asking you to answer, not driving people away." ”
