自嘉死後，開封侯陶青、桃侯劉舍及武帝時柏至侯許昌、平棘侯薛澤、武強侯莊青翟、商陵侯趙周，皆以列侯繼踵，娖娖廉謹，為丞相備員而已，無所能發明功名著於世者。 After Shentu Jia's death came Tao Qing of Kaifeng and Liu She of Tao, and under Emperor Wu, Xu Chang of Bozhi, Xue Ze of Pingji, Zhuang Qingdi of Wuqiang, and Zhao Zhou of Shangling—each a full marquis who stepped into the chancellorship in turn. They were honest, cautious placeholders, none of whom left a mark on the age.

會人有盜發孝文園瘞錢，丞相青翟朝，與湯約俱謝，至前，湯念獨丞相以四時行園，當謝，湯無與也，不謝。 Then robbers broke into the burial mound in Emperor Wen's mausoleum park and stole the consecrated coins. At court Chancellor Zhuang Qingzhai agreed with Tang that they would both apologize. When they came before the throne, Tang reflected that only the chancellor made the seasonal rounds of the shrines and therefore bore responsibility; he himself had nothing to do with it, so he offered no apology.
