The efficiency of Dali Temple is still quite fast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Luo Yan arrived at Dali Temple the next day, he saw that Li Jing had been invited to the public court.

Of course, it's not like in the TV series that people kneel at every turn. Although Li Jing was a criminal official, he was still invited to the seat under the hall, poured a cup of tea, and let him drink it comfortably. As for the chief officer Dai Guan, he was talking with Li Jing.

Seeing Luo Yan come in, the two got up and stepped forward to greet each other.

"Chengguo Gong came early." Dai Xuan said this, but forgot that he and Li Jing came earlier.

Luo Yan smiled: "Let the two of you wait for a long time." Why don't we talk about it again and start talking about those things? ”

"No need, since Cheng Guogong has arrived, let's start. It's better to settle this matter sooner. If the court is not turbulent, we will also feel uneasy. Li Jing was a little anxious, and without waiting for Dai Zhou to speak, he opened his mouth and asked Luo Yan to deal with them earlier.

He looked at Dai Guan, nodded to each other, and responded to Li Jing's request.

Seeing that there were already messengers and penmen waiting in the hall, Luo Yan and Dai Xuan sat in the main hall.

Seeing Li Jing standing there, Dai Zhou frowned and said, "Duke Wei, please sit down." Now you are not considered a prisoner. Standing like this makes me scared. ”

Seeing that Li Jing seemed to want to refuse, Luo Yan interjected: "It stands to reason that Wei Guogong should stand under the hall of Zongzheng Temple in this matter, after all, as a lord, if he commits a crime, it must belong to them." However, this matter is in office rather than a lord, and Dali Temple takes over, which is based on official positions. The prince has never been robbed of office by His Majesty, and he is still an important minister in the court. Since ancient times, if you can't punish a doctor, how can you surrender your identity and do such a shameless thing. ”

Luo Yan's words were even stunned. looked back at Luo Yan twice, and then said to Li Jing: "What Cheng Guogong said is reasonable. Wei Guogong, please take a seat. Now we just ask, it doesn't have to be. ”

Seeing that both of them were saying this, Li Jing knew that he was a little reckless in this matter, so he nodded and sat down in Fang Cai's seat.

At this time, Luo Yan nodded to the pen clerk on the side and motioned for him to start recording the confession.

When it is said to be interrogation and verification, it is actually asking fixed questions. Similar to the several points raised by Luo Yan in the court before, Li Jing gave a detailed answer. This talk was two hours, and watching the sun rise overhead, Li Jing's confession was over.

The penman blew dry the ink marks on the last page and sent a stack of paper to Luo Yan and Dai Xuan.

This is for the two chief judges to check the confession, and in this process, the chief judge must correct the omissions and fill in the gaps. The clerk was also a veteran of prison litigation, looking at Dai Zhou and Luo Yan's attitude towards Li Jing, coupled with Li Jing's own reputation, he actually wrote this large stack of confessions without leaking. Judging from the literal suspicion, Li Jing has not committed any crime at all.

"There is a mistake here that 'the chaotic army loots and stops it repeatedly', as the commander in chief, although he is in the chaotic army, it will be effective to stop it repeatedly, how is this the current situation. When it is 'concerned about the profit without a trace, forget to deal with the aftermath', the penman, the sentence used here is wrong, can you be guilty? Luo Yan shook the paper in his hand and scolded the pen clerk.

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing and Dai Zhou were shocked, and the pen official was even more shocked.

The three of them were thinking at the same time, could it be that Luo Yan was pretending before, and now he is showing his fangs and wants to put Li Jing to death?

Seeing that the faces of the three of them were a little unpleasant, Luo Yan continued to reprimand angrily: "It is true that the treasure of the Turkic Tooth Tent was lost, and it is also true that Wei Guogong repeatedly stopped it, is it that Wei Guogong's reputation in the army is fake?" Are you naïve, or do you think Your Majesty is not holy enough? Hmph, his heart can be punished. ”

The three of them were sweating at the same time. Fang Cai exonerated Li Jing a little, and actually forgot whether this matter was logical. Li Jing stopped it, would the soldiers not listen to the commander's orders? Is it possible?

The clerk also knew that he was going to carry a black cauldron. However, the identities of the three people in front of him made him feel that it was a good thing to take the blame. The people who have helped Li Jing have not seen anyone suffer.

"It's the incompetence of his subordinates, and I hope that the superior will forgive his sins." The pen clerk really did the fake play, and he really knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Okay, you are a subordinate of Dali Temple, and it is inconvenient for me to punish you. However, you will be held accountable for clerical errors. If Your Majesty has any doubts about this matter, you must make it clear. ”

"The subordinates understood that when the subordinates were taking notes, they heard about the looting of the rebel army, and they lost their minds for a while, so they missed a few places. I hope that the officials will forgive. ”

How else to say about slippery officials, this kind of deception has been done a lot, and the experience is naturally sophisticated. I'm lying at this time without blinking my eyes. However, this is exactly what Luo Yan needs. Hearing him say this, he nodded, and Luo Yan didn't ask any more.

And Li Jing and Dai Guan, looking at Luo Yan's methods, the surprise on their faces was beyond words.

After a long time, Li Jingcai bowed to Luo Yan: "Thank you Chengguogong." ”

This worship, Luo Yan did not refuse. This matter was originally about Li Jing's life and death, and he had fought for everything he could for Li Jing. If this matter is handed over to someone else to do, he Li Jing will definitely be in a catastrophe. Although he is an elder, Luo Yan received this gift in this matter.

"Okay, now that we have gone to the testimony of Wei Guogong, then the next thing is the confession of those soldiers and Zhang Baoxiang. It will take time to transfer these people, so Luo Yan will leave first. When they arrived in Chang'an, Dai Shaoqing sent someone to my house to call me. ”

was a little hungry, Luo Yan didn't want to stay for a long time, and as soon as he bowed his hand to Dai Zhou and Li Jing, confessed his guilt, and left on his own.

Above the public court, Li Jing sighed: "I finally understand why Your Majesty married Princess Changle to him." If this person doesn't have some fetters, I'm afraid that His Majesty won't be able to control it in the future. Fortunately, he is a heavy-minded person. ”

"yes. Today's wrist, not to mention anything else, is this law, and Dai Zhou feels that he is not under me. Wei Guogong, you owe a lot of this kindness. Dai Xuan nodded, his admiration for Luo Yan was beyond words.

For Li Jing to be so polite, Luo Yan doesn't have much patience for others. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Li Jing, and it was all those few questions that were asked every day, so that Luo Yan spent most of the next time paddling, and handed over any questions to Dai Zhou to ask, and at the end looked at the confession, and then signed it.

This state lasted for seven days. Within seven days, Dali Temple interrogated more than 40 soldiers, including Zhang Baoxiang, and basically figured out the whole thing.

Next, it is time to discuss how to deal with Li Jing.

It was another sunny morning, Luo Yan walked to Dali Temple leisurely, nodded to the guard in front of the door, and walked in.

When Luo Yan walked into Dai Guan's office, Dai Zhou was frowning and thinking. Hearing the sound of the door, he looked up and found that it was Luo Yan, and Dai Xuan's face couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Cheng Guogong, come in. You're here, and it's easy to do. The overjoyed Dai Xuan hurriedly pulled Luo Yan in, and then made a cup of tea and handed it to Luo Yan. I'm worried about how to deal with the affairs of the Duke of Weiguo. It is better for you to bring up this matter first, or to end it with you. ”

Co-authored, it's all up to me.

Luo Yan had a headache.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Luo Yan said slowly: "This matter does not end with me, but in the hands of Wei Guogong. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Dai Xuan was a little confused.

"The existing evidence can naturally exonerate Wei Guogong, but at most, it is not conducive to the strict management of the army, and the punishment is just. However, can such a disposition really calm His Majesty's anger and the courtiers' grievances? If it's given to you, do you think we deliberately took it off publicly for Weiguo? When the time comes, don't say it's him, it's you and me, I'm afraid I will have to stand under the hall of this Dali Temple to be questioned. ”

Luo Yan said a few words, and a cold sweat broke out on the corners of his forehead.

How did you forget this stubble?

Sometimes, the criminal law has to be not only harsh, but also politically necessary. Obviously, this time he was angry with the scholar, and he just wanted to act according to the law, but he didn't know that if he did this, he would simply send Li Jing to the guillotine.

"Then according to Cheng Guogong's opinion, what should be done in this matter?"

"You'll know when the time comes. In Dai Shaoqing's case, he only needs to attribute the guilt to lax management of the army, the loss of heavy treasures, and dereliction of duty. As for my side, it may be a bit heavier. Say hello in advance, and save Dai Shaoqing a lot of heart. ”

Dai Xuan was secretly speechless when he heard this.

Dereliction of duty, etc., fines, and demotion, neither of these can escape. And Luo Yan said a little heavier, what to do?

Glancing at Luo Yan with suspicion, Dai Xuan nodded: "Since this is the case, then according to what Cheng Guogong said." After agreeing like this, the two began to write their own notes separately, so that they could explain to Li Shimin.

The next day, Li Shimin in the Taiji Hall received a report from the two.

Looking at the two narratives that are similar, but the methods of handling them are very different, Li Shimin is a little difficult. This kind of multiple-choice question is what he hates the most, and he has to make a choice in his partiality.

"Come on, call Xuan Ling and the auxiliary machine to me."

In a short time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui walked in front of Li Shimin.

"Look at it, this is a note handed over by Dai Xuan and Luo Yan. Regarding Li Jing's case, there is too much difference between the two people's handling methods, you can take a look, give me an idea, who should I listen to these two methods? ”

The two glanced at each other, took the note handed by Li Shimin and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, after thinking about it for a while, the two said in unison: "Then choose Luo Yan's." ”

Li Shimin smiled, obviously, the choice of the two was exactly in line with the one he thought was the best in his heart: "Tell me your reasons." ”

"Dai Shaoqing's disposition, although it is reasonable to punish and demote officials, it is not comparable to Luo Yan's method of rewarding and punishing meritorious officials. Giving the defense of the country a hundred buckets of pearls and jade, and a thousand catties of gold, he has already deserved the merit of destroying the Turks. However, his lax management of the army, resulting in the loss of treasures, is a great mistake, and he is no longer suitable for serving in the army. Then the two laughed together: "So, Luo Yan's method is more suitable." ”

"Papapa" Li Shimin's applause rang out, and then he said: "Since this is the case, then let Li Jing serve as the secretary of the military department of the inspection school and resign himself from his ministry in the army." All rewards, according to Luo Yan's request, were immediately handled by the Zhongshu Province. ”

Li Jing's disposition was decided in this way, and everyone was happy. (To be continued.) )
