The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1719 The Prince's Wrath

Aren't these the two young ministers of Dali Temple?What happened?

However, if the people in Dali Temple committed a crime, they should be captured by the palace and then sent to the prison, right?How did you recruit yourself, the governor of Chang'an, into the palace?Do you want the Chang'an government office to try the matter of Dali Temple?Afraid that the people of Dali Temple will favor others?

"Master Han, your Chang'an government office is in charge of the governance of the entire Chang'an City. How is Chang'an City these days? How are things going? " Li Chengqian asked.

"If you go back to His Highness, everything is fine here in the Chang'an government office." Han Zhong responded.

"Well, it's been fine recently, what about a year ago?" Li Chengqian said, "Judging from the documents handed over from below, it seems that the Chang'an government office has not handled a few decent cases."

"Your Highness, Chang'an City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. There have not been any major cases that need to be handled by the Chang'an government office," Han Zhong said.

"No big case happened? I'm afraid that after the case happened, you Chang'an government office wouldn't dare to deal with it? If you can push it to Dali Temple, you will push it to Dali Temple. Some even let you use your power to directly It's suppressed, isn't it?" Li Chengqian asked.

When Han Zhong heard Li Chengqian say this, he quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, that's not the case, it's really wronged."

"Wronged?" Hearing these two words, Li Chengqian smiled: "Where did I wrong you?"

Judging from the papers collected from the bottom and the report on the Chang'an government office, this is indeed the case. The virtues of these officials have been the prince for so many years. Li Chengqian has more or less figured out their temperament. If it is true If it becomes such a big case, it must be submitted to a special memorial to show credit for yourself. With credit and political achievements, you can rely on your promotion in the future, but what?The fact is that there is no movement at all, there is no movement, the cases have been accumulated in Dali Temple, and the new case has become an old case. Isn't this called a vegetarian meal?

Coupled with the case about Dou Shanglie a year ago, Li Chengqian was really disappointed with these people in Chang'an Mansion.

Or, take this opportunity to at least rectify the official administration of Chang'an City first.

Han Zhong was asked such a question by Li Chengqian, but he couldn't answer it. How should he answer this question?
"Do you think you have been wronged? Then I will remind you." Li Chengqian said: "A year ago, a fellow from Dingfu Building in Chang'an City came to your government office to beat the drums and sue Dou Shanglie of the Dou family. Master Han, do you have any impression of this case?"

Hearing Li Chengqian mention the case a year ago, and then looking at the two young ministers from Dali Temple kneeling next to him, Han Zhong felt a thump in his heart.

Things are exposed!Back then, everyone involved had already kept their mouths shut, and the officials of the Dali Temple also sent someone to tell him that the matter was safe. How could it be revealed today?
"Master Han, do you remember? A year ago, Dou Shanglie insulted a woman from an ordinary family in Chang'an City. Later, the woman hanged herself in her room. Dou Shanglie, I dare to ask Mr. Han, how did you handle this case?" Li Chengqian asked: "Speak!"

The last roar made Han Zhong tremble with fright.

"Sir."

"Why, I can't tell?" Li Chengqian got up from the slump above him and stood on the steps: "Then let me tell you how you handled this matter, and you give this matter to me." I suppressed it and ordered the person who knew about the case to shut up. Later, that person went to Dali Temple. Unfortunately, these officials in Dali Temple are just like you. shame!"

"Your salaries are all paid by the people, but look at what you have done! You are sitting in this seat today, who is providing for you? It is not the court! It is the people! The people support you, but what about you? It's on the heads of the common people." Li Chengqian said: "In my view, if Dou Shanglie's death is not to be blamed on that guy, then you are the real murderer! Kill Dou Shanglie! A family of people!"

"Your Highness, calm down." Changsun Wuji stood up, "Since this matter has been investigated and officials from the Chang'an government office and Dali Temple have been involved, I feel that no matter how angry His Highness is, there must be a solution to the matter. "

Li Chengqian's eyes still did not move away from the three kneeling people: "Since it has been found out, it is easy to deal with it. Dismiss from office, ransack the house, exile, order Qianniuwei, confiscate the property of the officials involved, and move three thousand miles."

"Your Highness." Dou Yan also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Is it a bit heavy to deal with it like this?"

When the case was suppressed back then, it was the Dou family who benefited. Now because of this bad luck, if the Dou family does not say anything, it would be really chilling, so Dou Yan also bit the bullet and said such a sentence. As for whether it will succeed or not, anyway The beautiful words are said, no matter how much, he can't say any more.

"Master Dou thinks it's serious?" Li Chengqian asked: "The case a year ago, plus the case a year later, there are a total of three lives, and now there are three people kneeling in the hall, or let these three people, for these two Let's pay for this case, Master Dou thinks, how about this?"

Dou Yan had nothing to say, if he was exiled, at least he saved his life, right?

The crown prince has lost his temper. Since the crown prince sat in the court, no matter whether he was governing the court or reviewing the memorials in the Xuanzheng Hall, he was careful and conscientious. This was the first time that the crown prince had such a big temper.

The ministers in the Hanyuan Palace also saw that the crown prince was really angry. Although he was the crown prince, he had to treat him as the emperor for the time being. His Majesty Li Er's attitude was also ambiguous. All the courtiers were in a fog.

Today's court meeting ended in Li Chengqian's anger. It was just about how to deal with Dai Zhou, but Li Chengqian did not give an answer. No one in the court dared to mention this matter. Is the prince's moldy head?

If the prince is provoked, His Majesty is provoked, how will this matter end?Isn't it going to make a bigger fuss?

Just for this incident, Dali Temple will dismiss four officials, and the Chang'an government office will suffer even the entire government office. If the matter is further aggravated, what will be involved, who knows?
After retiring from the court, it took about half a day for Li Chengqian to draw up the result of dealing with Dai Zhou, and sent it to the three provinces for approval.

Regarding Dai Zhou's treatment, it is not serious. After all, Dai Zhou has been in the position of Dali Siqing for so long.
