Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

However, the next day, Li Tai hadn't written a memorial to Li Shimin about moving to Prince Wei's Mansion.Someone put an impeachment memorial on Li Shimin's case that Wang Fu, the county magistrate of Chang'an, colluded with Liu Menglong to bully Chang'an city vendors and extort money.

This person is none other than Wei Zheng, a counselor newly appointed by Li Shimin.After reading the memorial, Li Ke was furious and ordered Sun Fujia, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to investigate the case.

And Sun Fujia detained Wang Fu to Dali Temple that day, and presented Wang San's confession to Li Shimin. Li Shimin was shocked after seeing Wang San's confession.He didn't expect that under his nose, there were still people colluding with local ruffians to do such things that hurt the nature and endanger the common people.

Therefore, in the court hall the next day, everyone discussed Wang Fu's charges for a long time, and finally sentenced Wang Fu to be temporarily executed as a warning to others.

However, the fact that everyone was able to discuss Wang Fu's crimes for such a long time did not mean the magnitude and complexity of the crimes he committed.Instead, the strengths of all parties are competing for one seat, that is, the county magistrate of Chang'an.

Although the Chang'an county magistrate has a small official position, he is in charge of the affairs of Chang'an City, so he can be regarded as a small official with great power.Therefore, Li You, Li Tai, and Li Chengqian didn't want to let go of such an opportunity to put their cronies in this position.

Therefore, just after Li Shimin finished speaking, "I don't know if all the lovers can choose someone for the county magistrate of Chang'an", Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up and said, "Please punish the crime of the humble minister."

Li Shimin's expression didn't change at all, "Changsun Wuji, what's your crime?"

"As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the officials are evaluated by the Ministry of Officials. For example, the county magistrate of Chang'an disregards the king's law, colludes with local ruffians, suppresses traders, and makes profits from it. It is the responsibility of the chief officer to bear the charge of lax inspection." Changsun Wuji did not mention the candidate for Chang'an County, and first admitted his mistake.

What Li Shimin appreciates the most is Changsun Wuji's strict self-discipline.Therefore, his expression softened a lot, "This matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Officials. Wang Fu has served as the magistrate of Chang'an County for a long time. You have only been in the Ministry of Officials for a few months. There is indeed something wrong with the charge, so you don't need to bring it up again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Eldest Sun Wuji said as he retired from duty.

Then, everyone chattered for a long time, and finally there was still no suitable candidate.After all, everyone chooses people who are related to their own interests.

People like Li Chengqian supported Bo Zhaojie, the son of Princess Changguang, the head of Honglu Temple, as the county magistrate of Chang'an.People like Li Tai supported Du Chuke, a member of the household department, as the county magistrate of Chang'an.However, Li Ke's people supported Chang'an county captain Deng Tongda as the magistrate of Chang'an county.

Seeing the three forces behind these three people, Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with the minister who recommended these people.However, he has an influence on Deng Tongda, and he has seen it in the Chang'an practice game and the Chang'an competition.This person has assisted Li Ke in maintaining the order of the game, and he is still somewhat capable of arresting thieves and rectifying law and order.But when he thought that he seemed to be involved with Li Ke, he was removed from the list of Chang'an county magistrate standards in his heart.

"Fang Xuanling" Li Shimin saw that he was not satisfied with the candidates selected by everyone, so he directly named Fang Xuanling "I don't know what candidate you have in mind?"

Fang Xuanling knew very well about the struggles of the several princes, and he didn't want to get involved.Therefore, the only thing I thought about was, "My minister recommended Di Zhixun, the county magistrate of Yong'an in Kuizhou, as the magistrate of Chang'an."

"Weichen also agrees with Fang Zhongshu's opinion." Du Ruhui said after leaving the class.When Li Tai's people recommended his younger brother Du Chuke as the county magistrate of Chang'an just now, his face twitched.He knew his younger brother's personality, and it was okay to be a petty official, at least with so many people suppressing him, he couldn't afford to make any big waves.However, as the county magistrate of Chang'an, his little thoughts will come to life, and he will definitely cause trouble for the Du family.Therefore, he supported the candidate recommended by Fang Xuanling.After all, he knew Di Zhixun very well, and this person's ability to be the county magistrate of Chang'an was absolutely no problem.

"Di Zhixun?" Li Shimin questioned.

"My Majesty, Di Zhixun is the son of Di Xiaoxu, Zuo Cheng, the current Shangshu." Feng Deyi, as the right servant, had to speak.So, he stood up and explained to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin asked, "Is Di Xiaoxu here?"

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, an old man standing among the courtiers came out of the shift and said to Li Shimin, "My minister Shangshu Zuo Chen Di Xiaoxu has seen the emperor."

Li Shimin saw Di Xiaoxudao who was over fifty years old in front of him. "As your son, Di Zhixun, what do you think of Fang Xuanling's recommendation of him as the county magistrate of Chang'an?"

The old man Di Xiaoxu has become a master, and he knew that Li Shimin would ask such a question. He pondered for a while, "You don't avoid relatives when you are worthy, and I will follow the emperor's arrangement."

When Li Shimin saw that Di Xiaoxu was in favor of his son being the county magistrate of Chang'an, it showed that he was very sure of his son's ability.Coupled with the recommendations of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the candidate for Chang'an county magistrate has been decided.

As a result, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were a little unexpected.Because they didn't know anything about Wang Fu.So, not fully prepared.When Wei Zheng brought up the impeachment memorial, they realized how much the Chang'an county magistrate was going to change, and they were about to make some preparations. Unexpectedly, Sun Fujia would close the case that day, and Li Shimin sentenced Wang Fu to beheaded the next day, and Asking them to select a new Chang'an county candidate caught them by surprise.

However, none of the people recommended by the three were reused by Li Shimin this time, which made the three feel more comforted.At least, as long as the person is not the other party, others can win over.

However, Li Ke paid more attention to Di Zhixun, the magistrate of Yong'an County in Kuizhou.Because Di Zhixun, the magistrate of Yong'an County in Kuizhou, is the father of Di Renjie, the God of Tang Dynasty.This is the problem Li Ke is worried about. After Di Zhixun, the magistrate of Yong'an County in Kuizhou, took office as the magistrate of Chang'an County, his resume is different from his history in Yong'an County of Kuizhou, and then in Kuizhou Prefecture.And does this affect Di Renjie's background?This made Li Ke a little worried. He didn't want to affect the birth and growth of the future Tang Dynasty's famous minister because of the position of a small Chang'an county magistrate.

However, Li Shimin had already appointed Di Zhixun in the court, and Li Ke had no choice but to obey God's will.

After the court, he returned to the palace to recruit Deng Tongda, and told him in detail about the candidate for the magistrate of Chang'an.Deng Tongda looked very calm after listening to Li Ke's narration, which made Li Ke a little strange.

Deng Tongda knew Li Ke's doubts, and said with a smile, "Your Highness doesn't know, I have only sat on the seat of Chang'an county lieutenant for three years, and it is only reasonable that I can't be promoted to county magistrate."

Seeing that Deng Tongda was so calm, Li Ke was also very happy, and felt that it was worth accepting a person like Deng Tongda.Because, only those who serve him with the purpose of not being promoted are the ones who really think about him.

At the same time, in Li Tai's Prince Wei's Mansion, after Li Tai went back, he told Du Chuke about the court's affairs with Chang'an County Magistrate, which made Du Chuke regret it.And Li Ke also regretted that he was not well-informed. This incident happened too quickly, which he did not expect.So, before he could react, Wang Fu's head had already moved, which caught him off guard.As a result, his people did not grab the position of Chang'an county magistrate.

At the same time, Li Tai was also regretting why he had accepted such a scum. Fortunately, he couldn't get along with him, otherwise he would not have been implicated.In this way, he became more firm in his thinking, that is, to just accept his party members, and he could no longer be as silent as this time. By the time he knew it, it was already too late.Also, you can't accept some idiots like Wang Fu, and you should focus on the court.This time, he was not able to grab the seat of Chang'an county magistrate, and he still suffered from the loss of no one in the court!

Li Chengqian was not as sad as Li Tai in the East Palace.Because, a Chang'an county magistrate is not much to him, and there is no less.The point is that Li Ke's people didn't get this seat, which made him a lot happier.

And Li You was even more distressed. If he didn't follow him in the court, he would have no one to support him.Therefore, he can only recommend candidates for today's court meeting.Therefore, he also secretly decided in his heart that in the future, he must accept only his party members and not be so passive.
