Chapter 786 This official has grown bigger
Judicial independence.

This is what Li Shimin said at the beginning that the judiciary should be independent, and it is also what Li Chongyuan once said that the judiciary is independent and must be independent of all ministries.

otherwise.

The theory of ruling the country by law is basically impossible to realize.

but.

When Li Chongyuan heard what Li Shimin meant, he seemed to have changed his mind again.

The establishment of the Judiciary Temple is the place where the law is enacted, but why should it become the post-judgment?
Isn't this the standard-setter, the setter, and the executor?

Moreover, it is an independent temple, and the ministers of the court and the central government have no right to intervene, and even the prime minister has no right to intervene. This will inevitably breed judicial injustice.

Li Chongyuan had such a thought in his heart, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also had the same thought.

"Your Majesty, this example cannot be opened. The Holy Majesty wants to build the Judicial Temple, but since ancient times, only the Nine Temples have been respected. For example, Zengyi Temple must be established under it. Now, the Holy Majesty wants to build the Judicial Temple, and it is higher than the Nine Temples. The temple is even higher than Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province. If the minister of the temple and the officials of the Judiciary Temple formulate laws for their own benefit, but the court cannot restrict them, it must be a big hidden danger. Please think twice. "Fang Xuanling was naturally the first one to stand up and object.

Li Shimin glanced at Fang Xuanling, nodded lightly, and said, "Liang Guogong is right. I have also considered the preparation of the Judicial Temple for several years. Although the judiciary is independent, there is still a yamen for its supervision. At the time of preparation, Yushitai needed to add a supervisory mechanism to its Judicial Temple, and the Secretary Ministry also added a supervisory mechanism to its Judicial Temple. With these two yamen setting up a supervisory mechanism in the Judicial Temple, it is impossible for the Judicial Temple to use the law to benefit itself. "

After Li Shimin said these words, Li Chongyuan finally understood.

to be honest.

That is, Li Shimin wanted to build the Judicial Temple, but he didn't want the Judicial Temple to dominate, so he wanted to add two people from the Judicial Temple to the Judicial Temple to supervise the notarization of the Judicial Temple.

but.

The people in these two major yamen only have the right to supervise, but they do not have the right to execute or obstruct.

In the end, Li Shimin came to judge him.

after all.

The rank of the Judiciary Temple is too high, so high that the prime minister can't control it, let alone intervene.

Whether there are disputes or problems, everything has to be dealt with by Li Shimin, or the future emperor.

Although Li Shimin was troubled, no one could stop Li Shimin from doing this, especially Li Chongyuan.

To be able to establish a sound judicial system is something that Li Chongyuan has longed for in the early years.

Now, Li Shimin proposes to build Judicial Temple, Li Chongyuan can't wait for this.

With Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling was speechless, and all court officials were speechless.

The establishment of the Judiciary Temple seems to be a certainty, and there is no possibility of any changes.

Li Shimin turned around, walked to the treasure platform, and sat on the throne.

Li Chongyuan was still standing in the center, which was a bit embarrassing and an eyesore.

But Li Shimin didn't say anything, Li Chongyuan really didn't dare to leave.

Even Wang Ting, who was beside him, did not dare to leave.

Sitting back on the throne, Li Shimin looked at Li Chongyuan with a smile in his eyes and nodded his head.

Li Shimin's head, Li Chongyuan immediately understood, waved to Wang Ting beside him, and retreated to his position.

After Li Chongyuan returned to his place, Li Shimin took a look at the court officials and said: "The Judiciary Temple is about to be established, do you have candidates for the Temple Secretary and Shaoqing?"

Candidate?
In fact, all court officials were waiting for Li Shimin's words.

Judicial Temple, from the Yamen of the second rank.

This is a proper prime minister's yamen.

Anyone who wants to enter this yamen to be the minister of the temple, even if he is a young minister, it is worthwhile.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan was also thinking about the official position of the Judiciary Temple.

"Nine temples and eight temple ministers are from the third rank, but Taichangqing is the third rank.The Judiciary Temple is located at such a high position. From the second-rank position, I am afraid that there are not many people in the court who can take on this great task. There are only six ministers, a few prime ministers, and Tai Changqing, the prince's guest and the prince Zhan. .It's probably impossible for Prince Guest and Prince Zhan Shi to be both, but it's too often and extremely likely. '

"The Shaoqing of Judiciary Temple, based on the grades of the Shaoqing of each temple, is also a third-rank post.Damn, a young minister of the Judiciary Temple is comparable to me, the Secretary of the Sinong Temple, and he is also the enacter and enforcer of the law, with great power.Your Majesty, I am not going to be Secretary of Agriculture anymore, I want to go to Judici Temple to be a young minister. '

Li Chongyuan was a little greedy.

Not only Li Chongyuan is greedy, it can be said that everyone in the court is greedy.

Siqing can't do it, Shaoqing can think about it.

Even if Shaoqing couldn't do it, this Si Cheng would certainly be able to.

The Chancellor of Judicial Temple is definitely several grades higher than other temples.

Take Taichang Temple as an example, the yamen of the third rank, the Si Cheng has already been lowered from the fifth rank.

And the Judiciary Temple is a yamen from the second rank, and this Sicheng, no matter what, is also from the fifth rank, and it may even be a regular fifth rank.

Of course, these are just Li Chongyuan's guesses, but it is not known whether Li Shimin's final positioning of the officials in this yamen is the same as that of Taichang Temple, or whether it is different.

No one recommended himself as the minister of the temple.

The prime ministers did not stand up, and none of the six ministers stood up.

As for the following people, no one stood up.

of course.

Whether these six ministers, or the ministers of various temples, they are at least a duke of a country, even if they are not a duke of a country, they are also the title of county king or heir king.

Although they are greedy for this official position, no one wants to be this early bird.

and.

All court officials knew very well that for Li Shimin to ask such a question, they already had a candidate.

Seeing that no one answered, Li Shimin understood it, and said immediately: "Since there is no one to choose, so is there anyone to choose for this young minister?"

As soon as Li Shimin mentioned this Shaoqing, some people began to stand up.

"Your Majesty, according to the usual system, if Judiciary Temple is established, its Shaoqing will be from the third rank. The minister must have someone to recommend." Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Who is it?"

"Shangshu Youcheng Pei Min. Pei Min has been Shangshu Zuocheng for several years. He has been conscientious and has never surpassed anything. I think Pei Min is the most suitable to be the young minister of Judicial Temple." Changsun Wuji replied.

In the distance, Pei Min, the Shangshu Zuocheng, immediately gave Changsun Wuji a grateful look after seeing him being recommended by Changsun Wuji.

Li Chongyuan is really not very clear about Pei Min.

but.

As a Shangshu Youcheng, Li Chongyuan met countless times every time he was discussed in court, but he didn't know who this person belonged to, and who he was close to.

But right now, Li Chongyuan could see a thing or two.

"Shangshu Youcheng, who is under the fourth rank, is not as powerful as Shangshu Zuocheng. If you want to serve as the third rank, the Shaoqing of Judicial Temple, I am afraid it is not enough.If it's Shangshu Zuocheng, maybe it's okay. '

'I'm afraid it won't work to jump from the fourth rank to the third rank all at once.Changsun Wuji wants to get someone of his own to go to the Judicial Temple, and it seems that he wants to take charge of the Judicial Temple.As a Beijing official, it is impossible for Li Shimin not to understand his character.As Li Shimin said just now, it is impossible for Pei Min to find some upright people to join the Judicial Temple. '

"There are so many Zhongzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and every governor of Zhongzhou is on the fourth rank, and there must be some people who are upright, and they are not afraid of the powerful.There must be such people.Li Shimin is afraid that he will choose from among these people and serve as Shaoqing in Judicial Temple. '

Li Chongyuan secretly guessed, guessed about Li Shimin's plans and thoughts.

It was also as Li Chongyuan guessed.

After Changsun Wuji stood up and recommended him, Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, "Although Pei Min has been the Minister of the Right for many years, the Prime Minister of the Minister, Feng Shinan, is old and wants to return to his hometown for the elderly, so he has already handed in his resignation to me."

"Your Majesty, I believe that Linghu Defen can be the Minister of Judicial Temple." Changsun Wuji's recommendation was rejected by Li Shimin, and Fang Xuanling immediately stood up again.

Li Shimin shook his head again and said: "Linghu Defen has not been the Minister of Rites for three years."

"Your Majesty, Minister of the Judicial Temple, I believe that Cen Wenwen can be appointed." After Li Shimin vetoed Linghu Defen, Wei Zheng suddenly stood up and said the position of Minister of the Temple.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, but shook his head without speaking.

Afterwards, there were another round of recommendations, and Li Shimin basically rejected them all.

Li Shimin rejected even the person recommended by Gao Shilian.

Half an hour later, the three officials of the Judicial Temple were still empty and nameless, which also made the officials and ministers really wonder who Li Shimin had his eyes on.

That's it.

At the moment when the court meeting is held, things are changing really quickly.

At first it was the lawsuit against Li Chongyuan, and then it was a civil and military battle.

Later, Li Chongyuan stood up and fought back, until Li Shimin stepped down from the throne and started a long speech.

Up to now, the officials have started to compete for the official position of Judicial Temple.

If the two chief officials, Siqing and Shaoqing, can't compete, then they will fight for the Sicheng.

Compete for the post of recorder.

In short.

This court meeting can be described as taking a sudden turn for the worse, making Li Chongyuan feel that he has witnessed a special court meeting.

And the current scene of fighting for the position of officials in the Judiciary Temple has opened Li Chongyuan's eyes, and he really doesn't know how to describe such a court meeting.

The court meeting started in the morning.

Up to now, it has entered the Si Shi, and arrived at the Si Shi.

As time entered the end of the Si era, although the scene of scrambling for official positions had begun to calm down, whether it was Siqing or Shaoqing, the official position of Sicheng had been pending.

And Li Shimin also saw that it was not a problem to go on like this. After all the officials stopped talking, he got up from the throne, walked to the center and said: "The establishment of the Judicial Temple marks that our dynasty will enter a period of rule of law. Dear friends Although the recommended person has contributed to our dynasty, he is not the most suitable person."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused for a moment, glanced at Li Chongyuan, who was the most civil servant, and said, "Actually, in my heart, there is one person who is most suitable for the post of Secretary of the Judiciary Temple, and the post of Shaoqing has long been in my heart." selected."

After Li Shimin's words came out, all the court officials said in their hearts one after another.

Even Li Chongyuan was secretly complaining in his heart.

'If you make such a move, you are not afraid that these court officials will have a big opinion on you.If you do it a few more times, all the court officials will probably hate you.I still have to stand for so long, just to listen to your bunch of lies. '

However, Li Chongyuan didn't dare to say these words, so he could only stand there honestly, continuing to suffer from the sore pain of his feet.

Li Chongyuan complained in his heart, and the court officials also complained in their hearts.

But Li Shimin continued: "The candidate in my mind is the one you sued just now, Li Chongyuan."

'boom'.

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Chaotang was blown up again.

"Your Majesty, no. Li Chongyuan is rebellious and rebellious. He is still undecided about his affairs. He is young and energetic. How can he take on such a great responsibility? I object." Changsun Wuji heard that Li Shimin's favorite person was first Li Chongyuan and later. Be the first to jump out.

"Your Majesty, I also object. Li Chongyuan's private affairs have not been investigated yet, so how can he take up such a big responsibility?" Fang Xuanling followed behind.

"My lord, I object."

"."

moment.

It didn't take long after Li Shimin's words hit the ground, the court hall was boiling, and it couldn't stop.

Even Li Chongyuan in the corner did not expect that Li Shimin would choose him as the Minister of Judicial Temple?

It has only been a few days since I was promoted to the position of Minister of Si Nong Si.

After a few days, he will be promoted to the Minister of Justice again?
Passed from the third rank to the third rank, and went directly to the second rank, where he sat opposite Shang Shu Pu She Ke.

How can this be?

Li Chongyuan didn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Li Chongyuan knew exactly how capable he was.

Even though he, Li Chongyuan, always hoped that the judiciary would be fair and strict, and treat everyone equally, but Li Chongyuan also knew that he did not have the ability to be the minister of justice.

Si Nongsi minister is so passive, let alone this minister of justice.

Moreover.

Li Chongyuan still has very important things to do, how can he have time to sit in the yamen room to draft and approve some legal provisions, and it is even more impossible to sit in the yamen room and listen to the reports from the people below. The situation is nothing.

Sitting in an office, Li Chongyuan really doesn't have that patience.

Li Chongyuan also stood up against himself against the objections of all court officials, "Your Majesty, I am young and frivolous, ignorant of world affairs, and I am really not qualified for the post of Minister of Justice. Please take back my order."

Li Chongyuan opposed him, which was beyond everyone's expectation, but Li Shimin was the only one who did not.

When Li Shimin saw the objections of the courtiers and Li Chongyuan, his face suddenly changed and he said: "I can understand Li Chongyuan's objection, but you are not qualified to object! Just now, Li Chongyuan submitted the evidence and list of sinong temple corruption , and there are many people involved in it, how can you oppose it! If I don't want to pursue it, you can't sit still."

wipe.

Li Chongyuan didn't understand until now.

It turns out that the accounting evidence and the list that I presented to Li Shimin are not pursued, so the purpose is here.

Guaranteed to ascend to the position of Minister of Justice?

But how many catties and ounces do you have, what ability do you have to take up the post of Minister of Justice?

Li Chongyuan didn't know how to think about this matter, and he didn't know how to object to it.
