After Cao Liang ascended the throne, he naturally conferred Yang Huiyu as the queen.

Yang Huiyu was born in the Yang family, a prominent family in Mount Tai. When he was young, a sorcerer came to visit. When he saw Yang Huiyu, he was shocked and said that this woman was rich and noble and had the qualities of being a mother in the world. Everyone just regarded it as a joke, but no one expected that this sorcerer would come true. Several years later, Yang Huiyu became the queen and the mother in the world.

Sima Ru was named Concubine De. Cao Liang rejected the ministers' proposal to enlist the harem. Before he became emperor, he had a wife and a concubine. After he became emperor, one concubine was enough. Three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines may be the dream of many people, but it was definitely not Cao Liang's.

Cao Jing was made the crown prince and as Cao Liang's only son, there was no suspense in his position as the Eastern Palace. Cao Hui was named Princess Changyang. Liu Ying was honored as the empress dowager, while Cao Liang's grandfather Cao Chun was posthumously named Duke Pingyuan County, and Cao Liang's father Cao Yan was posthumously named Duke Liang.

In the court, Cao Liang formally abolished the system of Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and implemented the system of Three Provinces and Six Ministry. In fact, in the Three Kingdoms era, as the Shangshutai gradually gained real power, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers had become a kind of empty title. Except for some positions, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers no longer had any real power. Most of the time, Situ, Sikong, and Taiwei became a kind of extra-official and honorary nature. However, this also caused a kind of chaos in official positions. Many positions were overstated, and those Shangshu who held real power were often in an awkward state of low position and low position. Therefore, after Cao Liang ascended the throne, he made drastic changes to the institutions within the court. Many empty titles and empty positions were cut off, and many service institutions were streamlined and merged, making the operation of the various deployments of the court smoother, greatly reducing redundant staff, which was conducive to the efficiency of the court's work.

Although the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system has been implemented since Emperor Wen of Wei, in fact, this is just a mechanism for selecting officials. People often link ranks with official positions and no longer call the level of official rank by how many stones.

This time, Cao Liang directly designated the imperial court's official position as the ninth rank, and each rank was divided into two levels, with a total of eighteen levels, with the highest being the first rank and the lowest being the ninth rank.

The three provinces are the Secretariat, the Secretariat, and the Secretariat. The Secretariat is responsible for drafting and issuing the emperor's edicts; the Secretariat is responsible for reviewing government orders; the Secretariat is responsible for implementing state orders. The Secretariat is under the jurisdiction of six ministries: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment, removal, examination, promotion, transfer and other affairs of officials across the country.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the country's territory, land, household registration, taxes, salary, transactions and all financial matters.

The Ministry of Rites manages national school affairs and imperial examinations, and exchanges between vassals and foreign countries.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the selection of military officers, military ranks, military orders, etc.

The Ministry of Justice is in charge of national criminal and criminal decrees and litigation.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of construction projects, repairs, work, salt ponds, gardens, military farms, navigation administration and water conservancy.

The chief officials of the three provinces were the Zhongshu Ling, the Jung-shu Ling, and the chief officials of the six ministries were the Shangshu, the second official was the Minister of the Secretariat, and the subordinate officials were the Minister of the Ministry. The chief official of the Ministry was called the Langzhong, and the second official was the Yuanwailang.

In fact, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties in history, as the power of the Shangshutai and the Secretariat increased, the system of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers was gradually abolished, and the Three Provinces and Six Ministry system was already revealed. What Cao Liang did was only one step to abolish the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers who were in name only, and pushed the Three Provinces and Six Ministry system to the forefront.

Compared with the system of Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, the system of Three Provinces and Six Ministry is the greatest progress of the feudal social and political system, and it is a major advancement in the imperial family and world towards centralization. The separation of powers of the three provinces of the Central Secretariat, the Shangshu, and the subordinate provinces, and even the shadow of the separation of legislative, administrative and judicial powers of modern civilized society.

Of course, Cao Liang did not copy the modern civilizations, because he knew that no matter what kind of civilization, it needed the right soil, otherwise it would be a kind of behavior that would be counterproductive.

Just imagine what would happen if Cao Liang shouted the slogan of overthrowing the imperial power and long live freedom and democracy at the ceremony? He would probably be regarded as crazy.

Therefore, it is not an easy task for time travelers to travel to the past and want to change this era with their own strength and change people's deep-rooted concepts. It can even be said to be an impossible task. What Cao Liang needs to do is to integrate into this society as much as possible. Even if he wants to change the world, he must use a step-by-step and subtle way to influence the world.

Since there must be an emperor in this era, the most suitable person to be an emperor is only himself. Only by becoming the master of this world can Cao Liang do what he wants to do and realize some dreams that seem out of reach.

The implementation of the three provinces and six ministries system did not encounter much resistance. This was of course due to Sima Zhao's usurpation. After moving the capital to Chang'an, the Wei court had already fallen apart. Most of them succumbed to Sima Zhao and became the upstarts of Jin. The new dynasty team established by Cao Liang in Luoyang was completely a brand new team. The highest-ranking officials in the past were Xiahou Xuan, who had served as Taichang and Huan Fan, who had served as a Grand Secretary, and other civil officials and generals did not even have the resume of serving in the court. Therefore, no matter whether it was the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system or the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system, there was no big difference for them. No matter what kind of official system reform Cao Liang implemented, they also supported them as usual.

Moreover, the new dynasty will have a new atmosphere. Cao Liang's move fundamentally changed the chaotic situation of the imperial court's superior system, which was conducive to cutting redundant staff and improving the court's efficiency. This was still supported by the vast number of civil and military officials.

Historical experience has proved that the three provinces and six ministries system was a major progress in feudal civilization. It was precisely because of the Tang Dynasty that the prosperous Tang Dynasty emerged.

Of course, the imperial examination system that complements the three provinces and six ministries system is also the imperial examination system. It is the advanced talent selection mechanism of the imperial examination system that made the prosperous Tang Dynasty rich and prosperous.

Under the auspices of Xiahou Xuan, the imperial examination system has achieved success in Bingzhou and Youzhou. A large number of poor commoners stood out and embarked on the career path, completely changing the situation of the scholarly family.

Once the deep-rooted cage is broken, it will continue to impact the gentry class with an unstoppable momentum. When the power of the common people enters the stage of history, it is no longer far away. Only talent is to promote and only meritorious is to use it. This itself is a social progress, and the torrent of history cannot be stopped by anyone.
