"The Imperial Decree..."

As Gong Saner's voice rose, all the officials stepped down in unison.

"The Grand Tutor Wang Yun, Gong Zhong, was loyal to the country and made great contributions to the country. However, the Chinese New Year was not a good year. Yesterday, he suddenly suffered a serious illness and died suddenly in the palace. This was a misfortune of the Han Dynasty and was also my misfortune. He was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Yongyang County, and his eldest son Wang Gai was awarded his title. To represent the merits of the Grand Tutor, the Grand Tutor no longer appointed the Grand Tutor since then, and I admire this."

"Your Majesty is kind, long live long live long live long!"

The officials who can participate in the court meeting, regardless of their rank, status, or knowledge, are very clear. They know very well how Wang Yun "deathed". But they know more clearly that the faction headed by Wang Yun in the court has completely declined, and the power of the court has been completely in the hands of the emperor since then. Naturally, these ministers cannot stand up for the unfairness for a dead person, not to mention that he has indeed violated the national law. According to the laws and regulations, it is enough to confiscate the family and destroy the clan. His Majesty has preserved his reputation and family, which is already a great emperor's grace.

Before the officials could think about it, Gong Saner received the second imperial edict again.

"The Imperial Decree..."

"From now on, the imperial court will set up an official school in addition to the Taixue School. Any county with a household registration of more than 10,000 yuan will have an official school in addition to Luoyang and Chang'an. In addition to Zhuo County, Bingzhou Taiyuan County, Yuzhou Runan County, and Qingzhou Pingyuan County, each has an imperial school. All of them are under the jurisdiction of the General Imperial College of Luoyang. Those who pass the Imperial College will enter the Luoyang Imperial College to take the exam. Those who are excellent will be appointed as officials and will be responsible for their positions."

"The Imperial Decree..."

"From now on, the land in the world, whether plowing or pasture, belongs to the court. The court will distribute farming, grazing, and death as life, old age, sickness, and pastures. The wasteland that the people beg for two years is exempted from taxes. After the people who reclaim the wasteland will be collected by half. This is the so-called "equal land system". Currently, those who occupy more land acres will not be cleared for the time being. After someone in the family dies, they will be collected. The new population will not be distributed until the number of them is equal."

"Military merits are divided into five levels. Those who obtain five levels of military merit will be given 20 mu of land, or 60 mu of pasture, and exempted from land tax for five years. On top of them, one level of military merit will be given 10 mu of land, or 30 mu of pasture, and exempted from land tax for one year. Those who make meritorious deeds will be given 20 mu of land and pasture after the tax exemption period, and half of the remaining ones will be given by their sons."

"The Imperial Decree..."

"The court set up several farms in the royal family. The court officially runs farms to develop new agricultural species and new equipment. All the ones they produce will be returned to the national treasury. The royal family sends people to farm and grazing themselves. The income will be collected from the royal family and used for the royal family and harem management, and taxes will be paid as usual. Except for the emperor and the prince, the rest of the royal family shall not use the tiny of the national treasury. Each of these two farms shall not exceed the world's farms, and half of the total number of pastures."

"The Imperial Decree..."

"The 'Three Dukes and Nine Ministers' system was changed to the 'Two Provinces and Six Ministry System'. The court established the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Works, and Ministry of Works, each in charge of its affairs. The Secretariat, Provincial Secretariat, and Provincial Secretariat gathered the ministries and prefectures and counties to memorial, drafted edicts, and the Secretariat conveyed edicts, supervised all ministries, and prefectures and counties implemented in accordance with this."

"The Secretariat has one left prime minister, and the Secretariat has one right prime minister. Each of them has three Pushe as deputy, and six Sheren as assistants, and they are called Zhongshu Pushe, Zhongshu Sheren, Shangshu Pushe, and Shangshu Sheren."

"The six ministries each have one Shangshu, two ministers are appointed as deputy, six doctors are the assistants, and ten chiefs are the assistants."

"The left and right prime ministers and the six ministers can go directly to the heaven to listen, enter the palace to report to help the emperor control all officials and take charge of the government."

"There is one censor and two censors, who are responsible for supervising all officials, advise the emperor, command the imperial chief, and each of the historical books. There is one Taishi, who is the same level as the Censor, and is responsible for recording the deeds of the court and the country and compiling historical books."

"The Imperial Decree..."

"After the New Year, the country's name was changed to 'Yuanxing'. It was scheduled to be held in March. Taishan will worship the ancestors of heaven and earth to seek peace in the country and peace in the world, and to officially start construction of the imperial tomb. The construction of the Sheng'an Tomb will be completed within three years to bury the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager's coffin. In another five years, the emperor and the queen's tomb will be built."

"The Imperial Decree..."

"Reform the currency system and recast copper coins. The Wuzhu coins were changed to Yuanxingtongbao. At the same time, due to the constant exchanges between merchants and travelers in recent years, and the number of precious goods is increasing, the Banking Regulatory Commission was specially set up to control the matter of coin minting. It also has three major money houses, namely Yongxing Money House, Anmin Money House, and Huatai Money House. The money houses opened money bills, bills of exchange, deposits, loans and other matters to facilitate trade and allow the people to have a place to store their remaining money. The craft workshop was also set up to operate the official mulberry forest, weaving, silk, embroidery, porcelain, lacquerware, gold, silver and jade, papermaking, printing and other matters."

"The original nine ministers' sect official residence and the inner palace established by the empress are combined into the internal affairs office, which is in charge of royal affairs, is in charge of royal assets, and is in charge of royal gardens and other matters."

"The Banking Regulatory Commission and the Internal Affairs Office each have one chief minister, several deputy ministers, and more than ten ministers and dozens of ministers. The officials of the two governments are of the same rank as the six ministries and are directly under the emperor."

"The Imperial Decree..."

"The imperial guards in the capital were reorganized, and four imperial guards were established, including Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Xuanwu, each with 30,000 troops stationed inside and outside the imperial city, as well as Hulao, Hangu two passes and Mengjin Port. There were also 30,000 Yulin Guards to guard the palace. The commanders of the four imperial guards and the generals of the Yulin Guards were all appointed as second-rank officials and directly under the emperor."

"The rank of Siping, Four Towns, Four Enlistment Generals, Abolish the Prefectures, the government affairs of each state are under the jurisdiction of the governor, and the military power is under the command of the governor. In addition, the four generals in front, back, left and right, cavalry generals, chariots and cavalry generals, and generals can temporarily take over the military power under the governor of the state. Each state is not allowed to recruit soldiers without authorization. The source of troops required is all recruited by the court and will be sent to station separately. Private recruits are considered as treason for crimes of treason."

"The Imperial Decree..."

"From now on, eunuchs will only be used for serving in the palace, and will not be allowed to serve in the previous dynasty, nor will they be in charge of military operations. In the future, eunuchs will interfere in politics, everyone will be punished."

"The Imperial Decree..."

"The system of vassal kings and the system of fiefs has been abolished. Since the first year of Yuanxing, all merits and rewards will no longer be given to fiefs. Only the land established by the equal land system will be matched with houses, gold and silver, etc. to show the kindness of heaven. All kings will no longer have fiefs. Except for the existing marquis of the Tinghou, Township and County, the marquis of the kings, there are five ranks from the bottom to the top, namely county dukes, national dukes, successor kings, county dukes, and princes."

"Among them, the successor, the prince, and the prince are not descendants of the royal family, and they shall not be granted the title."

"All the above matters are supported by the ministers and families. Any official position that is expected to be appointed as follows..."

"The Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu Province: Xun Yu."

"Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat: Qian Li."

"Senior Minister of Works: Xun Chen."

"Minister of War: Cui Jun."

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: Wang Chen."

"Sir of Rites: Zhang Long."

"Senior Minister of Personnel: Meng Jian."

"Shangshi of the Ministry of Justice: Zhong Yao."

...

Liu He's many decrees were read out for the whole morning. By the end of the dynasty meeting, it was already noon. Liu He held a banquet in the Zhangde Hall in the palace and drank with his ministers. Until the end of the day, the king and his ministers had finished drinking, and the officials retreated.

The response caused by this grand dynasty meeting is unprecedented.

Whether it is the abolition of the fief system, the reorganization of the imperial guards and imperial guards, the reform of the army, the change of the country's name, the Taishan Fengshan is a first-class event for a country.

But these major events were all together today, and even so, they still cannot be compared with the other things.

The equal-field system, currency system reform, the establishment of the official school system, and the implementation of the two provinces and six ministries. These things, one by one, are enough to shake the court and the country.

What was announced at this court meeting almost completely changed the Han Dynasty. After dinner, the people were talking about these new measures in full interest, calling them the "Yuanxing Reform".

In Yang Biao's mansion, Yang Xiu looked unwilling. Looking at his father who was fishing calmly in the backyard, he couldn't help but step forward to interrupt his interest.

"Father, you can sit still."

Yang Biao was not upset and put down the fishing rod and said, "Why shouldn't you sit still for your father?"

Yang Xiu curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty has reformed this way, abolished the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, and replaced it with the two provinces and six ministries. The new prime ministers and the six ministers have nothing to do with you. Isn't this going to exile my father and abandon him? Moreover, none of these two prime ministers and six ministers are my Yang family's children or disciples. Does Your Majesty want to deliberately suppress the Yang family?"

Yang Biao looked up at him, stood up, walked to the pavilion beside him, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"You are smart since childhood. Even Your Majesty once praised you. You have performed first in the Imperial Academy in recent years. No one can compare with you. Those who have been in the top schools in previous years must have your disciples. However, although you are the best in the academic and teaching methods, you know nothing about the affairs of the court. I think your Majesty transferred you to the Imperial Academy back then, and then there were many indirect actions to warn you, that is, to warn you to teach with peace of mind and not to over-specify the government affairs. This is actually Your Majesty's good intention to protect your life, but you do not understand it."

Yang Xiu nodded and was a little dissatisfied: "The child doesn't believe it. Among the disciples taught by the child, there are many honorifics from Guiyi County now. Even the disciples are officials, can't the child?"

Seeing that his son was not giving up, Yang Biao couldn't help but shake his head, looking in the direction of the palace, showing a hint of gratitude.

"Hey, since you ask questions, if your father doesn't explain it to you, you will probably guess it yourself, and it will be a bad thing. Since that's the case, sit down."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiu immediately sat in front of his father, first filled his tea with him, then sat upright, looking at listening with scruples.

Yang Biao took another sip of tea before speaking.

"Have you ever discovered that Your Majesty has been fighting for many years, and his civil servants and military generals have made many achievements. Although he has given him a generous reward, no one has obtained a fief?"

Yang Xiu nodded and responded: "Yes, even General Guan Yun, the first general in the army, has never received a reward for his fief."

"That's it." Yang Biao said: "What is a fief? From now on, the people here do not have to pay taxes to the court, but only pay the offerings to the lord of the fief, and the princes' fiefdoms, and the same is true for the fiefdom."

"Your Majesty abolished the fiefdom, and then collected the land and property of the world and returned to the court. The system of equal land was implemented. What he did was nothing more than to strengthen his own imperial power. The so-called 'All under the heavens is the king', and all the kings are the kings and ministers in the boundaries of the earth are the kings', Your Majesty just took the words of the ancients to the point of being practical."

Yang Xiuruo realized something: "In this way, Your Majesty's decree and government orders can be passed down to all the worlds, with great authority. Even if someone develops a sense of being unjust, they have no foundation, so it is naturally difficult to reproduce the rebellion of the seven kingdoms, or the current situation of the rise of princes."

"But even so, what does it have to do with me, Yang?"

Yang Biao shook his head: "You haven't noticed that the new officials who came from aristocratic families and those who came from poor families and even rural areas each account for half of their own?"

Yang Xiu thought for a moment and said, "It turns out that. The right prime minister Xun Yu comes from the Xun family in Yingchuan. The left prime minister Qian Li was his playmate in Huangshui Township when he was a young man. The six ministers, four of them came from a wealthy family, and two of them came from poor families, but among the ministers, most of them were poor families and had a very small family."

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly realize it.

"Does Your Majesty intend to suppress the children of the gentry and wealthy families?"

Yang Biao nodded and said, "This is natural."

"Although the child had noticed this intention, he had never thought that this change would be used. Now that he thought about it, everything was clear. In this way, after Wang Yun's death, Wang Qian and no less than the old ministers who had been in close contact with the Wang family in Taiyuan resigned one after another. Even the father of the Minister of War Cui Jun and the Grand Tutor Cui Lie resigned and returned home, he also noticed His Majesty's intention?"

"No," Yang Biao said with great affirmation: "I am sure that if Cui Lie is unwilling to resign, the position of Minister of War will definitely not be on Cui Jun's turn."

Yang Xiu was extraordinary and immediately learned from it: "It seems that Wang Chen, Wang Gai and others now seem to be highly valued and have risen to the top. That is just a delaying strategy for His Majesty to prevent others from experiencing doubts about Wang Yun."

"Not necessarily." Yang Biao waved his hand: "I asserted that Your Majesty has no intention of expelling the wealthy families from the court. Since ancient times, the art of emperors has been using human skills and balance. The wealthy families and poor families, the children of the gentry and the rural people coexist with a balanced momentum, so that Your Majesty can rest assured. Wang Chen and Wang Gai do not agree with Wang Yun's many illegal things, and they have many dissuasions. In addition, they are indeed talented and knowledgeable, so Your Majesty will naturally be generous to use them."

"As for my Yang family's children..." Yang Biao changed his tone and his tone seemed a little sad: "Hey, I just regret that the children of our clan are not strong, and even fewer outstanding people. Now there are few people in the court, but you can't blame His Majesty."

When Yang Xiu heard this, he showed a proud look on his face: "Don't worry, Father, although Your Majesty intends to prevent the child from entering the court, since he is in the Imperial Academy, he will definitely train more talents. This will also enhance the power of my Yang disciple."

Yang Biao smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said a few words of encouragement, but Yang Xiu did not notice that when his father heard what he said just now, a hint of relief and ease appeared in the corner of his eyes.
