Zhang Yan revealed his heart to everyone present, reform is imperative, and the key lies in how to change.

Some people suggested that the current emperor Liu Feng should be deposed, Zhang Yan would ascend the throne as emperor, change the dynasty, and then form a new imperial court.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Zhang Yan, if he was an ancient person, he might have wanted to be an emperor, but his thinking is a modern person, and he is not very interested in the emperor.

In Zhang Yan's view, although the emperor has supreme power, he is also a loner, and he is also worried about whether the country he has worked so hard to build will be ruined in the hands of his descendants. Even if he became the emperor, there was no difference between him and Liu Feng as the emperor, but he just changed an emperor.

However, if the reform is thoroughly implemented, the imperial power is restricted, and the power of the three major institutions is equalized, in this way, it is not easy to appear courtiers who are inclined to the government and the opposition, and after the imperial power is restricted, the emperor is useless, and no one wants to be the emperor at all, but reduces the opportunity to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne.

Moreover, Zhang Yan also opened up the term of office for the first time, one term is five years, and every five years, if you do a good job, you will continue to stay in office, or you will be promoted. If you don't do a good job, you can only get out, or be transferred elsewhere, or be belittled.

The three major organs of power, Shangshutai, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, are not without the power to restrict, they have to report to the prime minister of the cabinet on a regular basis, and the decrees and decrees implemented and issued by the three major organs of power must be signed by the prime minister of the cabinet before they can take effect, so that the power of the three major power organs of Shangshutai, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple have been restrained from each other. And the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. It has also become a place to restrain the three major institutions of power.

And the prime minister's merits and demerits during his tenure. It is also under the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if it is found that the prime minister has any violations of law and discipline, the Metropolitan Procuratorate can collect evidence and hand it over to Dali Temple, and then the Dali Temple will file a lawsuit, which will be tried by the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department, and the emperor must also attend.

Arguably. In addition to limiting the imperial power, the main purpose of the reform was to fully limit the power of the courtiers, so that their powers would check and balance each other, and there would be no one-sided situation.

The purpose of such a reform is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the courtiers, so that each courtier feels that the institution in which he is located is very important, which can not only play his own role, but also promote the abuse of the power of the state.

Although the power is decentralized, each agency has its own different powers, and when it comes to conducting official business. You can concentrate on handling things that belong to your own power, if there is ultra vires. It will definitely be subject to other institutions. In other words, power seems to be decentralized, but it is concentrated, because the rest of the power organs have no right to interfere in the affairs that are within the scope of power.

At the reform seminar, Zhang Yan had a careful discussion with everyone present on the details of the reform. Everyone here also knew that the reform was imperative, and they couldn't twist their arms and thighs, so they changed from the initial opposition to obedience, and actively participated in the reform seminars, and had a good understanding of what the various power organs should do and what things they were in charge of, so as to adapt to their careers after the reform.

After a day of intense discussion and re-discussion, the seminar lasted from morning to evening, and finally decided on a set of reform plans, which were finalized as the final confirmation of the reform, on which everyone signed and expressed their approval of the reform.

When Zhang Yan was the last to sign his name on the confirmation of this set of reform plans, his heart finally fell. These days' worries have finally dissipated, in exchange for everyone's unanimous approval.

The next day, Zhang Yan led the people back to Pengcheng and began to implement the reform plan.

After returning to Pengcheng, Zhang Yan led hundreds of civil and military officials to enter the palace for the first time in history, and went to report to the current emperor.

Liu Feng was young, and although he had recovered from being kicked by a war horse before, he didn't have a little perception of the political affairs in the court, so the Empress Dowager Gongsun listened to him.

After that, the courtiers spoke one after another, demanding reform, and presented a very detailed reform plan, which was directly handed to Emperor Liu Feng.

Where can Liu Feng understand this? It was not handed over to the Empress Dowager Gongsun, but when the Empress Dowager Gongsun read this reform plan, she only felt that her scalp was numb, and she thought to herself, this is a reform plan that kills people without seeing blood, if this reform plan is implemented, then wouldn't the emperor really be useless?

But after thinking about it, the Liu royal family can at least be continued because of this, and at least Liu Feng will not suffer from killing again.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Gongsun thinks a lot, but no matter what he plans, reform is imperative, and the court can't help her.

In the end, the Empress Dowager Gongsun reluctantly said a sentence of "quasi-play", which completely ended the supreme power of the Liu royal family that had been inherited for hundreds of years.

Zhang Yan did not say a word at this court meeting, but everyone knew what was going on, so no one raised objections.

After that, Zhang Yan began to implement drastic reforms, first abolishing the system of three princes and nine secretaries, setting up a cabinet in the imperial court, and serving as the prime minister of the cabinet, and then setting up Shangshutai, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple.

Due to the particularity of this reform, the officials were directly appointed by the regent Yan Wang Zhang Yan, Chen Qun was appointed as the secretary of the household department, Yang Biao was the secretary of the ministry of officials, Sima Zhi was the secretary of the criminal department, Bing Yuan was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Hua Xin was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Guo Yuan was the secretary of the military department, Wang Lang was the imperial history of the capital, Gu Yong was the deputy capital of the imperial history, Dong Zhao was the imperial history of the left capital, Kong Rong was the imperial history of the right capital, and Jiang Ji was the imperial history of the capital. Zhang Zhao is the secretary of Dali Temple, Taishan is too shou Zhuge Jin, and he is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. In addition, Zhang Yan reappointed Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, who had been in the field, as the left attendant of the military department and the right attendant of the military department, respectively, while Sima Lang, Du Ji, and Xi Wei were the main members of Dali Temple, and the rest of the original hundred officials were all reasonably appointed by Zhang Yan.

In addition, as a focus of the reform, the army has also been affected by some influences, Zhang Yan abolished the original title of the five tiger generals, re-appointed the official positions of the army, himself appointed himself as a general, commanding the country's soldiers and horses, Zhao Yun as a hussar general, Zhang Liao as a chariot general, Xu Chu as a Wei general, Tai Shici as a former general, Xu Huang as a left general, Gan Ning as a right general, Zhang He as a rear general, all seven people hung up the rank of general,

Mi Zhu is the general of Zhendong, Ma Chao is the general of Zhenxi, Zang Ba is the general of Zhenbei, Lu Su is the general of Zhennan, Zhou Tai is the general of Zhengdong, Gao Shun is the general of Zhengxi, Lu Meng is the general of Zhengnan, Gao Ran is the general of Zhengbei, and all eight people have the rank of general.

In addition, Zhang Yan appointed Pang De as General Anxi, Ma Dai as General Pingxi, Jiang Qin as General Annan, and Li Dian as General Pingnan, all with the rank of major general.

In addition, some local officials have set up supervision of the imperial history and the evaluation of Dali Temple in various prefectures, which are responsible for supervision on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are responsible for investigating cases and prisons.

After the reform, Zhang Yan went all out to implement the New Deal, and abolished the original Han statutes, and replaced them with a new law called the Constitution, which clearly wrote the state system into the Constitution. In addition to the Constitution, a series of laws and regulations were promulgated, and since these were laws promulgated in the first year of the Martial Arts, these laws are also known as the New Laws of the Martial Arts.

The new law was promulgated along with the new political system, but it will take a long time for the world to adapt, so during this period, Zhang Yan strictly ordered all institutions to work hard and implement the new policy.

On the third day of the implementation of the new policy, Pang Tong and Ayub came with news from the Western Regions, after several months of hard work, all the countries in the Western Regions expressed their willingness to trade with the Han Dynasty, and the Huns, who were defeated by the Xianbei people, lost the hegemony of ruling the Western Regions, and due to the heavy losses in this war, the Wusun people also suffered heavy losses, so the Wusun people counted this hatred on Hu Yanhui's body. It's a pity that after Hu Yanhui was killed, the Huns were leaderless, and the Wusun nobles in Wusun saw the opportunity and collectively launched a coup d'état, driving the Huns one after another, and the Huns were killed and forced to move west.

In addition, Ayubu, the prince of Dawan, finally returned to Dawan with the help of Pang Tong. Since the last rebellion in Dawan, Dawan has been in the ownerless, the royal family members were killed, only Ayub fled alone, although later a general of Dawan led the troops to quell the rebellion, restored the stability of Dawan, but did not dare to call the king, only temporarily exercised the power of the king, waiting for the return of Ayub, the prince of Dawan.

After Ayub returned to Dawan, he succeeded to the throne as the king of Dawan with the unity of all the people, but soon, Ayub announced his abdication, proclaimed himself a marquis, and personally asked to be attached to the Han Dynasty, becoming a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and was willing to become the military base of the Han in the Western Regions.

Pang Tong wrote a letter, reported these requests to Zhang Yan, and waited for Zhang Yan's reply.

Zhang Yan was very happy to see this achievement of Pang Tong, so he appointed Pang Tong as the protector of the Western Regions, and also agreed to Ayub's request for annexation, and asked Pang Tong to use the Dawan Kingdom as a base to form an army, protect the merchants on the Silk Road, and communicate with the countries of the Western Regions as friendly envoys, and try not to use force.

At the same time, Zhang Yan personally organized a caravan, led by Li Cailai, with various goods purchased from the Central Plains, officially embarked on the Silk Road, in addition, Zhang Yan vigorously encouraged domestic merchants to go to the Western Regions to do business.

In the next few years, the Silk Road, which was painstakingly opened, would bring huge trade profits to the Han Dynasty, and the implementation of the new policies and laws would also make the Han Dynasty richer and stronger...... (To be continued......)
