Li Yuanji didn't ask what was going on outside.

Because Li Yuan asked him to think about it behind closed doors and copy the scriptures, he even went to Li Yuan to ask for peace, and closed the door of the palace, in addition to copying the scriptures, he listened to the music and enjoyed the dance with the princess, the side concubine, and the Guo family.

Two days later, Jing Zhaoyin announced the closure of the case.

After announcing the closure of the case, Jing Zhaoyin thought that King Qin would come to trouble him, but he didn't expect King Qin to do nothing, and seemed to acquiesce that the case was over.

However, on the second day after the case was concluded, three members of the Imperial History Observatory jointly impeached Jing Zhaoyin, accusing him of perverting the law for bribes, abusing power for personal gain, and wrongfully accusing the innocent.

Xiao Yu, Yin Kaishan and other officials asked Li Yuan to review it in accordance with the law, and even the officials of the prince's party also asked Li Yuan to punish Jing Zhaoyin.

Li Yuan was forced to have no choice but to order Jing Zhaoyin to be put in prison and interrogated by the three divisions.

Jing Zhaoyin, who was full of scenery in the past, followed the jailer into the cell, and his heart was extremely desolate, when he sat in this position, he expected that there would be this day.

But he didn't expect the day to come so quickly.

Chang'an City is full of powerful people, he is just a three-grade Jing Zhaoyin, if he wants to enforce the law impartially, he will definitely offend the powerful.

But if you flatter and curry favor with the powerful everywhere, you will inevitably violate the law.

Alas, to this day, there should be many people who want him to die.

......

Half a month later, the third envoy submitted the results of the investigation to Li Yuan: "...... Jing Zhaoyin was corrupt and perverted the law, the evidence was conclusive, and the three divisions sentenced him to confiscate his family property and sentenced him to death. ”

Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "The war has been raging, the people are already miserable, and there has been a famine in various places recently. ”

When Jing Zhaoyin knew the result, he couldn't help but be happy for himself, after all, he saved his life.

He even thought in his heart that the reason why he fell into such a fate was because His Majesty wanted to defend King Qi. Now that His Majesty has saved his life, maybe after a while, His Majesty will recall him back to Chang'an......

Regarding Jing Zhaoyin's sentencing, Li Shimin did not object, because he had more important things to do.

"Father, Jing Zhaoyin is an important official position to protect the Jingshi, and he can't be vacant for too long, and he thinks that the Duke of Yuguo has a good way to govern Yizhou, and he is upright by nature, so he can serve as Jing Zhaoyin." Li Shimin proposed to Li Yuan.

Dou Rail, the Duke of Yuguo, has already expressed his will to him and is willing to be his help, and Dou Rail just arrived in Chang'an yesterday, just to fill the vacancy of Jing Zhaoyin.

Li Shimin's abacus played very well, but Li Jiancheng would never let him succeed.

So, Li Jiancheng immediately objected: "Father, the Duke of Yuguo has been governing Yizhou for many years, and he knows the situation in Yizhou best.

"I think that the two Jingzhao Shaoyin have done a very good job in managing the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion during this time, and they already know the situation of Jingshi well, if they choose one of them to serve as Jingzhao Yin, it will be the most suitable."

Faced with the proposal of his two sons, Li Yuan thought about it seriously.

"Heh~" Li Shimin let out a sneer and said: "Although Jingzhao Shaoyin's ability is good, but they have no title and a gentle temperament, how can they suppress the magnates in this city?" ”

Li Jiancheng was choked and couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

Li Shimin retracted his gaze and turned to Li Yuan: "Father, the Duke of Yuguo has both a title and military merits, and he has an upright temperament, so he is in charge of Jingzhao Mansion, so there will be no favoritism." ”

Hearing the words "bending the law for personal gain", Li Yuan subconsciously thought of the previous Jing Zhaoyin, and he was a little weak-hearted.

After a moment of silence, Li Yuan said, "Let me think about this matter, you can step down." ”

After sending his two sons away, Li Yuan ordered someone to summon Dou Liang into the palace.

After Dou Rail came, Li Yuan first inquired about the situation in Yizhou, and then said tentatively: "You have governed Yizhou well over the years, and I want to keep you in Chang'an."

"Now that the position of Jing Zhaoyin is vacant, I want you to concurrently serve as Jing Zhaoyin, what do you think?"

Dou Liang was stunned for a moment, it was naturally good to stay in Chang'an, but Jing Zhaoyin's position was not easy to sit.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Jing Zhaoyin has changed three people.

Does he have what it takes to sit in this position?

Li Yuan saw that he was in thought, so he didn't bother him, and let him think slowly.

No, Dou Liang didn't think about it for long, he quickly made a decision: "Your Majesty trusts the minister so much, the minister naturally doesn't dare to disappoint Your Majesty."

"The minister is willing to serve as Jing Zhaoyin and protect the Jing Shi for His Majesty."

"Okay." Li Yuan was very happy, and immediately sealed Dou Liang as Jing Zhaoyin, and took office three days later.

......

In addition to Dou Liang, Qu Tutong, Chang He and other others also came to Chang'an one after another, and Li Yuan summoned some of them.

When Qu Tutong was summoned, Li Yuan told him: "The secretary of the criminal department is very old, and not long ago he proposed to me to sue the old man and return to his hometown, I want you to take over the position of the secretary of the criminal department, what do you think?" ”

In the face of the veteran ministers of the two dynasties who had outstanding military achievements, Li Yuan's attitude was very polite.

Qu Tutong hurriedly excused himself: "Your Majesty can't, the minister has been fighting abroad all the year round, and he is not familiar with the laws and regulations, how can he be the secretary of the criminal department?" When the time comes, will it make a mess, won't it live up to His Majesty's wishes? ”

Li Yuan looked stunned, he had forgotten that not long after the "Law of Martial Virtues" was issued, Qu Tutong was a local general, and he was definitely not very familiar with the new law.

If Qu Tutong is allowed to serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department, it is indeed a bit inappropriate.

So, Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then change it to the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has been away from Chang'an for many years, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it." Qu Tutong still refused.

Li Yuanban lowered his face and said angrily: "With your ability, how can you not even be competent for a small Ministry of Works?"

"I'm sure you're up to the task, needless to say, that's it."

Qu Tutong was helpless, so he had to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely be loyal to his duty and will not live up to His Majesty's trust in the minister." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

The next day, a series of decrees were issued from the palace.

Qu Tutong served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Dou Dan, the commander of the horse, served as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Chang He, Jing Junhong, and Lu Shiheng were transferred to guard the Xuanwu Gate......

After listening to Wang Qi's report, Li Jiancheng's expression was very proud: "Xuanwu Gate is located in the north of Taiji Palace, west of the West Inner Garden, overlooking the palace city in front, and there is a building on the door, and the location is very important."

"My father is willing to listen to my opinion and transfer Chang He, Jing Junhong, and Lu Shiheng to garrison Xuanwumen, which shows that in my father's heart, my status as a prince is unshakable."

With such an important position in Xuanwu Gate, my father can let his people garrison, and his intention does not need to be stated.

Hmph, even if Li Shimin arranges people to enter the Sixteen Mansions, the people in the key positions are all his people, Li Shimin wants to take his crown prince, don't think about it!

Wei Zheng didn't think so, he admonished Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, the matter of the predecessor Jing Zhaoyin shows that Your Majesty still cares about King Qin very much.

"And the recent transfer of officials, King Qin's actions are not small, and his subordinates think that King Qin should be eliminated as soon as possible......"
