Chapter 246: Candidate for the Squire of the Criminal Department

Li Er opened a recital, which was played by the minister and asked for the Zen to be sealed again. 35xs

There are many, many such twists and turns, and even the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, who are important in the court, have also been on such twists and turns.

Li Er also felt that with his current merits, as well as the peace of the country, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was indeed suitable for Feng Zen.

So he approved the recital of the ministers who asked for the recitation.

He also issued an edict to make a feather guard, sent it to the East Palace, and asked the prince to personally preside over the preparations for the sealing of Zen.

Li Er's ability to entrust such an important matter to Li Chengqian is enough to prove the importance he attaches to the prince.

"Now that there is a shortage of servants in the Criminal Department, I have ordered the prime ministers to deal with this matter, and I don't know if they have a suitable candidate?" Li Er said.

The criminal department is in charge of punishment, and the scope of authority of the criminal department during the Tang Dynasty is the most, which is basically limited to the execution power of civilians and officials below the seventh grade, but generally has no right to punish, and the right to punish basically belongs to Dali Temple, and the middle and senior officials are also basically under the supervision of the "Menxia Province" in the three provinces.

In layman's terms, the criminal department has no right to do what punishment should be imposed and how to punish the criminal, but it can carry out the punishment of the convicted criminal.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the criminal department was more of an enforcement agency.

It was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that the Criminal Department, as the institution in charge of the national criminal decree and the examination of criminal names, formed the three-law system of Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The major cases jointly heard by these three departments are the origin of the so-called triage of the three divisions.

The first leader of the six ministries is Shangshu, and the second-in-command is Shilang, who was the deputy minister of the government in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and his status is second only to Shangshu, which is equivalent to the level of deputy ministers in later generations.

"Shangshu Zuo Servant Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu Ling Ma Zhou and others have all sent a note to select a suitable candidate for His Majesty, this is a candidate drawn up by several prime ministers, and please take a look."

Wang Yuan said that, and found out the list of servants of the Criminal Department sent by Fang Xuanling and others from the twists and turns.

Li Er flipped through the list of candidates sent by Fang Xuanling and others, and the more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became, and the candidates they recommended were not qualified to be the waiter of the Criminal Department in Li Er's opinion.

After Li Er only looked at the candidates of Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou, he threw these lists of candidates aside, and he didn't want to read them at all now.

Who are the people recommended to him, and there is no one who suits his heart.

Although the status of the Criminal Department is not as high as that of Dali Temple, it is also one of the six departments, how can it be sloppy.

This is extremely irresponsible, Li Er is very dissatisfied, but fortunately, he now has a suitable candidate in his heart, who is qualified for the position of the squire of the Criminal Department.

"That's right! Is there a recommended candidate over there in the East Palace? Li Er asked. Flash Dance

This time, the position of the waiter in the Criminal Department was vacant, and Li Er not only asked Fang Xuanling and other prime ministers to select suitable talents, but also asked people to go to the East Palace and let Li Chengqian select talents.

Li Er just wanted to know if his son had the wisdom to know people.

"The East Palace has already sent someone to send the candidate selected by Lang Jun early in the morning, this is it, please take a look." Wang Yuan said, turning out the list sent by the East Palace from the side.

"Hahahaha!" Li Er took a look, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he laughed.

"Everyone! What's wrong with you? Wang Yuan asked inexplicably.

"The prince is worthy of being my son, like me, really like me, even the person who recommended him coincides with the person in my heart!" Li Er said.

Li Er never expected that Li Chengqian would actually think of going with him!

Because the list sent by the East Palace only has three words on it: Li Daoyu.

This Li Daoyu is also the most suitable candidate for the squire of the Criminal Department in Li Er's heart, and there is no one.

"Lang Jun and everyone are close relatives of father and son, so they naturally think about what everyone thinks and worry about everyone's worries."

"Father and son are of the same heart, so naturally they want to go together with everyone!" Wang Yuan said with a smile, as for whose name was written on the list handed over by the prince, he Wang Yuan didn't care.

"You're right, Cheng Qian and I are close relatives of father and son after all, how can outsiders compare, as the saying goes: Father and son soldiers in battle, tiger brothers, that's the truth." Li Er said with a smile.

"Now that everyone has made a decision, do you immediately notify them of the Chinese book?" Wang Yuan asked.

"You go and tell Fang Xuanling and the others that the person who is short of the waiter in the Punishment Department is Li Daoyu, who will be a young craftsman, and ask them to draw up an edict and appoint Li Daoyu as the waiter of the Criminal Department." Li Er said.

The decree of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what format it is, must be signed by the three provinces before it can take effect.

Of course, if the emperor insisted on going his own way, they would not dare not sign and seal the holy decree.

"Li Daoyu?" Wang Yuan was a little surprised!

He remembers this Li Daoyu clearly, when someone accused Zhang Liang of rebellion, Zhang Liang refused to admit it.

However, the Manchu civil and military forces strongly demanded that His Majesty Li Er kill Zhang Liang in order to prove the example and maintain the fairness of the law.

Among all the ministers, only this general Li Daoyu, a young craftsman, dared to stand up and refute Li Er on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient to convict.

At that time, Li Er was very angry, and said that he would deal with this guy who didn't know the height of the sky and dared to offend Long Wei.

These Wang Yuan remember it clearly, why did everyone change their hexagrams?

"What? Why don't you go quickly, what are you doing in a daze? Isn't it because you are dissatisfied with my arrangement? Li Er saw that Wang Yuanleng was in place and didn't do what he ordered, so he couldn't help urging.

"The old slave doesn't dare to have any opinion on everyone! It's just that the old slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not! Wang Yuan said.

"Do you want to say that Li Daoyu interceded for Zhang Liang at the beginning, why didn't I punish Li Daoyu, but let him be the servant of the criminal department?" Li Er said.

"Yes!" Wang Yuandao, that is, he Wang Yuan is Li Er's confidant, otherwise he is a eunuch who can ask.

"When Zhang Liang was convicted of conspiracy, only Li Daoyu stood up and said that there were many doubts in this case, and the evidence was insufficient, so he could not be convicted at will, and he was right."

"At that time, I didn't listen to him, and now I regret it when I think about it, so there are not many people who dare to speak out about driving like this!"

"Above the court, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all flattering, and since Wei Zheng's death, no one dares to stand up like this and tell the truth."

"The position of the waiter of the Criminal Department is the most suitable for Li Daoyu to take the position." Li Er said.

"No!" Wang Yuan took the order and went to convey Li Er's order to the officials of the three provinces.

The Criminal Department is the judicial department in charge of criminal punishment, and sometimes it is inevitable to offend, so at this time, it is necessary for an upright person like Li Daoyu to uphold justice.

The officials of the three provinces immediately drafted the edict in accordance with the procedure, and after stamping the jade seal, they sent someone to pass the edict to Li Daoyu.

After Li Daoyu received the edict, he immediately went to the Criminal Department to take up his post as a waiter in the Criminal Department.
