Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

At the same time, I was secretly happy: the emperor understood what he meant.

It's just that the officials were shocked, and they all talked left and right, wanting to object, but they didn't know what the emperor was going to do.

"In the future, when you handle cases, as long as the evidence is sufficient, you can take away people below the fourth rank to cooperate with the investigation."

"If there are princes, county kings, princesses, dukes, etc. who stop them by their status, you can ignore them and report to me later."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

The former is not a power.

But the latter greatly improves Fang Yuan's convenience.

Even Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice want to take away people with the above identities, and they have to ask for their opinions.

And Fang Yuan directly has such power, which shocked everyone present and moved everyone.

"Thanks......"

Fang Yuan was excited and wanted to thank him.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted.

"Your Majesty, my son objected!"

The third prince Li Ke interrupted loudly.

Walk out of the ranks of the royal relatives.

As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of the audience.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also objected!"

Pei Ji also stood up.

After talking, Xiao Yu and his son also objected.

In an instant, another group of ministers stood up to oppose, and the number was even larger than before.

"What's the reason?"

Li Shimin looked around the court hall and said in a deep voice.

"Father, there is no high or low among people, but there is dignity."

"Princes, county kings, princesses, dukes, etc. are all the faces of the court. If the government orders people to be arrested without official documents or edicts, how will the people see the court? Do you think we don't need to be in awe?"

"In addition, I also heard that Fang Ling ordered to shoot and kill hundreds of people while guarding the city of Liaozhou. It is conceivable that his heart is cold. I think that such a person cannot increase his power. It will endanger the people and the country."

Li Ke said slowly.

The words were well-founded, and they were seconded by all the ministers in an instant.

"Your Majesty, I think Fang Yuan is not only unable to increase his power, but also dismissed him pending trial."

"He killed even the common people, even hundreds of them. It is conceivable that his heart is sinister. We must strictly investigate the truth and punish him."

Xiao Yu and Pei Ji proposed to dismiss Fang Yuan again.

Fang Yuan didn't speak, he had already submitted a memorial to Li Shimin about shooting and killing the people.

It is impossible to hide such a major event, so it is better to explain the problem openly.

And when Li Shimin canonized himself as Chang'an Order, he should have already thought of a solution.

Now that Li Ke took it out and said it, Li Shimin would probably be displeased, and he would shoot himself in the foot with a rock.

"Father, my son objects to what the third brother said!"

"Princes, county kings, princesses, dukes, etc. are all the face of the court, but the people of the world are the foundation of my Tang Dynasty."

"As long as it violates the laws of the country and endangers the interests of the people, even if the emperor breaks the law, he is also guilty of the same crime as the common people. How can he treat the laws of the country like a child's play because he estimates their face?"

"If it's true what the third brother said, arresting a person requires evaluation of the face of princes, county kings, princesses, dukes, etc., what do the people of the world think? My Tang Dynasty is afraid that it will collapse at any time!"

Prince Li Chengqian suddenly stood up and said.

He is also young and a boy, but he is more powerful and mature than Li Ke.

As soon as the words fell, a group of ministers stood up and seconded, even Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling followed suit.

For a time, the ministers above the court were divided into three groups.

One group supported Li Ke, and the other group supported Li Chengqian.

Another group of minority is neutral, no one supports and no one opposes.

Chapter 189 The battle for imperial power, the mystery of the treasure

The dispute between the third prince and the prince is no longer a day or two.

The two often have opposing opinions on certain matters, and this time is no exception.

But most of the time, the opinions between the third prince and the prince will only get the support of a few ministers.

Most humerus ministers are neutral!

But today, not only the two ministers Xiao Yu and Pei Ji supported the third prince, but also Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling supported the prince.

This was the first time this phenomenon had happened, and the hearts of all the ministers were shocked.

A newly appointed Chang'an order actually intensified the competition among the princes.

Li Shimin also didn't expect that a single Fang Yuan almost made all the ministers in the entire court boil.

A group of ministers looked at Li Shimin on the throne, waiting for Li Shimin to confirm his opinions on the third prince and the crown prince.

"The prince's words are deeply in my favor."

"I believe that the people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. You princes must understand the truth!"

Li Shimin said slowly.

Among the three princes and the prince, he felt that what the prince said was more reasonable.

But it doesn't mean that what the third prince said is useless, it's just that he used it at the wrong time.

A strong power and a benevolent government. At this time, Datang needs a benevolent government, not a powerful one.

"My son obeys the order!"

Prince Li Chengqian was overjoyed and saluted immediately.

The third prince Li Ke and other princes also saluted one after another, expressing their remembrance.

"Also, I already know that Liaozhou City shot and killed people!"

"Those people are no longer the people of our Tang Dynasty, but traitors bought by the Eastern Turks!"

Li Shimin continued.

Since he received Fang Yuan's memorial, he had already thought about the result.

A group of people who attacked the city under the power of the Eastern Turks were no longer worthy of being the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The tens of thousands of people in the city, and the hundreds of people who attacked the city, undoubtedly chose the former and killed the latter.

But the reason is not to say that if you choose one of the two, you will be impeached by some corrupt scholars. It is better to say that they were bought by the East Turks to save trouble.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Fang Yuan immediately agreed.

Li Shimin's court will make a conclusion on this matter, and no one will attack him with this matter in the future.

When the third prince Li Ke heard this, his eyes flashed with anger, but he hesitated for a moment, and finally did not refute Li Shimin's conclusion.

The same is true for Xiao Yu and Pei Ji, who hesitated for a moment and did not continue to talk about this matter, because they knew that the emperor had known it in advance, and the problem would have been resolved.

"Okay, what I just said will take effect immediately."

"Regarding the matter of the Bishamon Army Division, the Minister of Dali Temple is fully responsible, and the Chang'an Order cooperates with the investigation."

Li Shimin continued.

His sharp eyes swept over the ministers below.

The ministers who wanted to protest did not protest in the end.

After all, the emperor and the prince agreed, so there was no need to refute.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Fang Yuan continued to echo.

Among the ministers, there were ministers who seconded the proposal.

"Fang Yuan, step back for now."

"You just took over Chang'an, go back earlier to familiarize yourself with government affairs."

Li Shimin waved his hand, wanting to send Fang Yuan away.

If Fang Yuan stayed here, he might be impeached by other ministers.

It's better to drive him away, so as not to be the target of attack, and don't worry about him not being able to handle it.

"I retire!"

Fang Yuan met, bowed and left.

Many ministers looked at Fang Yuan with different eyes.

Some lamented, some hated, and some wanted to kill Fang Yuan.

The impeachment of a prince and two princes turned out to be like this in the end.

At this moment, Fang Yuan's Chang'an order officially entered the hearts of all the ministers, no longer underestimate it.

After walking out of the Tai Chi Palace.

Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure just now was quite high.

It was the first time to go to the early court, and it was the first time to be besieged and impeached by so many ministers.

If Prince Li Chengqian hadn't opposed Third Prince Li Ke, the curtain might not have ended so quickly today.

Judging from today's initial impressions, the prince Li Chengqian and the third prince Li Ke are both dragons and phoenixes, and they are both very good.

But unfortunately, according to historical records, neither of them could reach the Ninth Five-Year Honor in the end.

So whether it is the solicitation of Prince Li Chengqian or Third Prince Li Ke, Fang Yuan can only refuse to avoid being liquidated by the new emperor in the future.

As for hugging Li Zhi's thigh in advance, Fang Yuan has no such idea, Li Zhi is too young now, and he still has a long way to go.

In deep thought, Fang Yuan walked out of the palace, returned to Chang'an county government office to familiarize himself with current government affairs.

About half an hour later, a yamen servant reported that Li Daozong, Minister of Dali Temple, had arrived and took over the case of the military division of Bishamen.

"meet!"

Fang Yuan put down his work.

He took the county magistrate and the chief book to greet him.

Dali Temple Minister Li Daozong not only has a higher official rank than Fang Yuan, but is also a prince.

"Get down to the official source, and pay my respects to King Ren Cheng."

Fang Yuan led the county government to welcome Li Daozong.

This is a middle-aged man who is about the same age as Li Shimin.

The appearance is a bit fierce, and the eye sockets are slightly sunken, making people daunting.

"I've seen Fang Ling!"

"This king is here to hand over!"

Li Daozong said politely.

At the same time, he looked up and down Fang Yuan.
