Based on this alone, all the civil and military officials had to look at him with admiration.
To them, no matter how miserable the boy was, he was just a commoner.
And as the minister of Dali Temple, for the sake of an ordinary person, he openly exposed the shame of Chen Jin, the great eunuch of the dynasty, in the court.
This is betting on one’s own future and future, which is really amazing!
Zhang Dongyang did not directly say that he had allowed his relatives to behave wildly and regarded himself as their patron.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see what Zhang Dongyang wants to express.
Chen Jin is a person close to the emperor. It is not convenient for him to investigate, so he can only use Chu Yanwu's hands to find out how many evil things Chen Jin has done!
He believed that the boy was just the tip of the iceberg.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn. Chu Yanwu frowned slightly and his eyes fell on Chen Jin leisurely, "Chen Jin, do you know what Master Zhang said?"
nonsense! Would he admit it?
Chen Jin bowed and clasped his fists timidly: "Your Majesty, this servant has no idea at all!"
Chu Yanwu didn't ask any more questions, so you said directly: "Zhang Aiqing, you heard it too."
"Chen Jin is completely unaware of this matter, which means that his relatives are pretending to be powerful and misbehaving outside without telling Chen Jin."
"They are distant relatives who are beyond our reach. Chen Jin doesn't know what they are doing and has no contact with them. However, he was innocently implicated."
His voice was generous and his speaking speed was calm, which was in sharp contrast to Zhang Dongyang's anger.
Is he innocent? Was he implicated?
What a joke, Chen Jin just said a few words, how could Chu Yanwu be so sure that Chen Jin was not lying!
Zhang Dongyang curled up his sleeves and stared at Chen Jin's slightly Italian face with an angry look.
Is he provoking him?
"Your Majesty, this matter!"
Smoke Dancer preemptively said: "You did a great job on this!"
"Thanks to Zhang Aiqing for distinguishing right from wrong, punishing rape and eradicating evil, and never involving innocent people."
"Otherwise, even the people around me will be implicated by those bastards!"
Chu Yanwu's voice was high-pitched, like thunder, but it was like a chicken thunder striking Zhang Dongyang's heart.
He finally understood why Chu Yanwu trusted Chen Jin unconditionally. He was clearly deliberately shielding him!
The benevolent sees benevolence, the wise see wisdom.
All smart people know what Chu Yanwu is thinking.
Although they had a lot of contempt in their hearts and scorned Chen Jin's actions, Chu Yanwu's attitude made them dare not say anything rashly.
It’s just that some Qingliu can’t sit still!
Zhang Dongyang is fair and impartial. As a minister of Dali Temple, he can't compare to a favored eunuch in the palace?
Ridiculous and pathetic!
Ultimately, it's because Zhang Dongyang doesn't stand high enough and has no intimidating power!
Since Chu Yanwu wants to protect the eunuch Chen Jin, they will follow the trend.
Didn't you praise him?
OK!
An old minister from the Dragon Palace slowly took a step forward and said humbly and respectfully: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is like a god in judging cases. He is not afraid of power and is fair and just. As a Dali Temple, Shao Qing is dedicated to his duties and is such an capable person. He is absolutely worthy of his reputation." Be responsible!"
"Now that the position of prime minister is vacant, I feel that with Mr. Zhang's character and ability, he is definitely qualified for the job!"
Another person also took a step forward and echoed: "What Wang Shangshu said is true. The position of Prime Minister is His Majesty's right-hand man. It is unsafe to leave it vacant for a long time. Please make a final decision as soon as possible!"
Many people came forward one after another. They were all people in the court who usually hated evil and were honest and generous people.
They all saw Zhang Dongyang's deeds and character, and he was also the best candidate for the position of prime minister in many people's minds.
If he is not suitable, I am afraid that the entire civil and military dynasty will not be able to find anyone who can compare with him.
Zhang Dongyang also didn't expect that just to criticize Chen Jin's behavior, he would be pushed to the position of prime minister by them.
Facing the crowd, on the dragon chair, Chu Yanwu's face was solemn, as if he was thinking.
The position of prime minister cannot remain vacant forever. Zhang Dongyang is the best candidate for the important task regardless of his character or strength.
What just makes him depressed is that Zhang Dongyang has such a good reputation now!
In the court, so many people focused on him and rushed to speak for him.
After all, Zhou Tianfu was a thorn in his heart, a huge shadow.
He was afraid that if Zhang Dongyang took the position of prime minister like Zhou Tianfu and formed a dominant family, wouldn't it... threaten his own status?
After experiencing the turmoil of the Zhou family, he really did not have the courage to take the risk of the throne being shaken for the second time.
Looking around, he could see the eager expectations of the ministers.
Chu Yanwu suppressed the anguish in his heart, straightened his body and said calmly: "Zhang Aiqing is now the Minister of Dali Temple. He has fulfilled his duties faithfully and is also the best candidate for the Minister of Dali Temple."
"I would really not worry if he leaves this position and hands it over to someone else, but considering Zhang Aiqing's character and quality, he does meet the conditions for the position of prime minister."
"I have decided to divide the position of prime minister into two parts, the left prime minister and the right prime minister."
He hesitated slightly: "Let's just say that this year's new science explorer, Jin Guangyao, is both civil and military, and has excellent strategy, so we will divide him into the right prime minister, responsible for assisting Zhang Aiqing in coordinating the government affairs!"
"As for Zhang Aiqing, he will be divided into Zuo Prime Minister and seek office together with the Minister of Dali Temple."
"The left is the main one and the right is the auxiliary. Become my true right-hand man!"
Chu Yanwu knew what these people were thinking, so the position of prime minister must belong to Zhang Dongyang.
But in order to prevent his family from becoming the dominant one, we cannot let him have full decision-making power!
The power is divided between the left and right prime ministers.
This way, you don’t have to worry about repeating Zhou Tianfu’s mistakes!
He couldn't help but admire his own wisdom and showed a satisfied smile.
Although this decision is unexpected, it is also reasonable.
It does not affect everyone's final wishes, and the position of prime minister is no longer vacant.
Zhang Dongyang and Jin Guangyao took a step forward, and they both knelt down to express their gratitude.
Now as the first-rank left prime minister, Zhang Dongyang said by the way: "Your Majesty, since Zhou Tianfu's rebellion, all the positions in the six departments have been vacant."
"Nowadays, Dachu is in a state of ruins waiting to be revitalized. We should try our best to fill these vacant positions so that we can serve the king and the people more conveniently."
Chu Yanwu nodded: "Since Zhang Aiqing took the initiative to mention this matter, I wonder if there is anyone who would like to recommend it!
"I do have two people to recommend. Zhao Xifeng, the great general of the current dynasty, is a talented general and can pacify all directions. He should be the pillar of a country and the best candidate to be the Minister of War!"
Zhao Xifeng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Dongyang to mention him.
Chu Yanwu thought for a while: "Well, the best person is the person who is familiar with the art of war. General Zhao is indeed a talent in this field. That's right!"
"Do you still want to recommend candidates for the other vacant positions?"
