Li Jiang
Early in the "Baoli" era (824-826) of Emperor Muzong's son Emperor Jingzong, Li Jiang was recalled to serve as "Zuo Pushe" (), one of the heads of the executive bureau (尚書省, "Shangshu Sheng"). In 825, when Liu Wu the military governor of Zhaoyi died and left a request to let his son Liu Congjian inherit the circuit, Li Jiang opposed, believing that the imperial government should send a replacement for Liu Wu quickly, and that if that occurred, Liu Congjian would not dare to resist. However, it was said that because the chancellor in power at the time, Li Fengji, and the powerful eunuch Wang Shoucheng, had both received bribes from Liu Congjian, they allowed Liu Congjian to inherit the circuit regardless. It was said that Li Jiang despised wicked individuals without compromise, and there was an incident in which, on the street, the deputy chief imperial censor Wang Bo (), despite being less senior in rank, refused to yield to him, leading to Li Jiang initiating a debate on whether the deputy chief imperial censor needed to yield to a "Pushe". Li Fengji disliked Li Jiang, and therefore had Li Jiang made "Taizi Shaoshi" (), an advisor to the Crown Prince, and had Li Jiang's office transferred to Luoyang.
