"Cabinet Minister, how should we arrange for Chen Shi, the top scorer? We must give him a position."
Cui Baihe said, "Chen Shi is currently serving as an ambassador at the Guangji Storehouse. In my opinion, he is not much better than his father. This Guangji Storehouse has likely become Chen Shi's private stash."
Yan Xianzhi laughed, "Naturally, we should promote him. The ambassador is merely a ninth-grade official. Let's promote him three ranks and let him serve as a Historical Officer at the Hanlin Academy to make use of his literary talents."
Everyone praised the decision together.
Thus, the Cabinet's plan was settled.
The next day, the court announced the Cabinet's decree, with a large number of officials removed from their posts, and some investigated. Minister of War Ren Xiao also requested retirement to return to his hometown.
Additionally, the Fuzheng Pavilion was abolished, and its officials were no longer employed.
