Chapter 594: The Zhen Mansion was ransacked, and the cabinet was in trouble(2/2)
It stands to reason that Chen Zhao brought tens of millions of taels of silver to the court, which can be regarded as his greatest contribution in several years. It is more intuitive than expelling the invasion of Eros thousands of miles away.
But several ministers in the cabinet found it very troublesome.
Ge Lao Xu was originally from Hangzhou. He was appointed to the cabinet by the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. During the cabinet discussion, he sighed: "With Chen Zhao's contribution, it is not an exaggeration to be promoted to the third rank, and he also needs to be awarded a title. Only Chen Zishang is only the second rank."
In his early ten years, he has already been promoted from the third rank. If he is promoted to the third rank, he will be a first-rank minister, and he must be a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu and a bachelor of Shangzhu Kingdom."
Shangzhuguo, who was in his twenties, received Doctor Yinqing Guanglu and a bachelor's degree. This was not a reward, but rather a detriment.
It is to live up to a false reputation and deal with real disasters.
Even if the ministers in the cabinet have little relationship with Chen Zhao, they still have to consider the attitude of the Holy Emperor and the attitude of Lin Ruhai who is about to enter the capital.
We even have to consider the attitude of scholars all over the world.
"Well, Chen Zishang is a young talent who is highly valued by the Holy Father. He is also a young up-and-comer and a rising star. As seniors, we should take good care of him and not be counterproductive." The chief minister of the cabinet, Prime Minister Tian Congdian, said.
"What Xiang Tian said is mature and prudent." Xu Ben nodded and agreed, then turned around and said, "Brother Yuanmeng, you should also say something."
"Your Majesty, it is inevitable that you will be knighted."
Xu Yuanmeng, who was a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said calmly: "You should be rewarded for your merits."
After a pause, he added, "In the past few days, there have been a lot more memorials to impeach Chen Zishang, and the cabinet is a little overwhelmed."
The Great Zhou Dynasty was similar to the Great Ming Dynasty. Officials liked hearing about things the most, and they would pin the blame on Chen Zhao for crimes such as "dereliction of duty, incompetence, daring, causing trouble and disturbing the people, and greed for money and money."
Of course, the elders are used to this, after all, they have also come through this step.
Xu Ben said with a smile: "Chen Zishang is a proud young man, and it is inevitable to be young and energetic, so he does things a little recklessly and improperly, but it is not a big deal. So is there any need to impeach like this? Those people are just full of food.
I think it's probably jealousy."
Xu Ben is from Hangzhou and is a big boss in Jiangnan. If people there want to write a letter or impeach him, they will definitely not avoid Xu Ben.
Now when Mr. Xu Ge said this, it was equivalent to putting the matter aside.
Tian Congdian, Xu Yuanmeng, and several other pavilion elders looked at each other, and they all understood what the old fox was thinking.
It seems that Chen Zishang is so sharp that even dignitaries do not dare to be enemies with him.
While the cabinet bosses were worrying about Chen Zhao's affairs, Chen Zhao was looking dashing, taking two concubines, Xia Ruoqing and Xiangling, and four maids, Qingwen, Zijuan, Xiuluan and Caixia, for a swim together.
