After the banquet, Liu Che immediately sent someone to investigate the power of the Empress Dowager Dou, and at the same time asked Wei Qing to go outside Chang'an City to see whether the so-called 60,000 Hun heads of the Empress Dowager were real or false?

The results are true.

The reason why Liu Che didn't know the relevant situation before was because Qiao Mu hid the news, but since he was ready to slap his face, how could he continue to hide the news, so when Liu Che sent someone to investigate again, there was no hindrance, and even the relevant information was directly sent to the investigators.

But that's the information.

made Liu Che unable to sleep all night.

The same is true of his mother, the Queen Mother.

Originally, I wasn't very worried, but after learning about the situation, I suddenly became worried.

He really didn't know what the Empress Dowager wanted to do when she secretly cultivated such a terrifying army, although he was a little worried that the Empress Dowager would attack him, but according to previous experience, the Empress Dowager was not like such a person.

In short, very puzzling.

It's hard to understand what the empress dowager wants to do if she doesn't help her mother's family make such a move, and it's hard to understand why the empress dowager, who never interferes in political affairs, and is even willing to let go of power in the early stage, does this, it always feels like it's just to block him, it's too annoying.

Every time he wants to do something, or do something great, a great move that may go down in history, the Empress Dowager always has to intervene, although this time she did not intervene in his attack on the Huns, but now compared with the Empress Dowager's exploits, he previously celebrated Wei Qing's killing of 700 Huns seems to be a joke, isn't this a blockage for him?

The more Liu Che thought about it, the more angry he became.

The more angry you get, the more anxious you get.

In a fit of rage, he fell ill.

Qi hurts the liver, coupled with several nights of tossing and turning and difficulty sleeping, a disease is a serious illness.

However, Liu Che was worried that after he really lay down, he would be seized by the Empress Dowager and that the Empress Dowager would find a reason to get involved in politics, so he could only order the imperial medicine to protect secrets, while forcibly supporting his body to go to court every day, pretending not to be sick.

It's no wonder that this can cure the disease.

I couldn't hold on for half a month.

Completely poured.

The semi-comatose kind.

What can arbors do?

The emperor was already in a semi-coma.

Now she is the one with the highest status.

Naturally, the regent had to be taken first.

So after Liu Che was finally woken up by the imperial doctor's medicine, he heard the news that the empress dowager was regent again, and suddenly fainted.

Fortunately, he is young, and if he wants to change to an older one, he may have a stroke or go directly.

Qiao Mu was not in a hurry, but took advantage of the regent's efforts to quickly change all the policies she was not used to before, and at the same time ordered the Fajia people to gather in Chang'an to rebuild the Great Han Law.

In addition, by the way, there was also a imperial examination, six subjects were divided into imperial examinations, and there were seven subjects in total in the martial arts.

Therefore, although there is some opposition, but the opposition is not big, most of the world is still educated by the scholars, and they have not yet had time to become the disciples of the various factions of the family, for them, they originally wanted to be an official to try their luck, and they had to see if they had connections, and now they can pass the exam, and they are undoubtedly very happy to agree with their true skills.

Therefore, the introduction of the imperial examination did not encounter much obstacle, and it was soon carried out smoothly in the world.

So, when Liu Che recovered from his illness, the court of the Han Dynasty was completely different from the court in his impression, and it was a completely earth-shaking change.

The pre-Qin system was completely abandoned by Qiao Mu and replaced with a cabinet plus three provinces and six ministries, and the Confucian children who were originally reused by Liu Che were also uniformly assigned to the Ministry of Rites to manage literature, and the official positions and newly added positions they vacated were all filled by the talents selected by the first imperial examination.

After Qiao Mu's operation, the imperial power was suddenly greatly reduced, and the power of the prime minister of the cabinet far exceeded that of the original prime minister, and even the emperor could not be revoked at will, and there must be evidence to clearly prove that the prime minister of the cabinet was not worthy of the position, or that he had made a big mistake, otherwise the emperor had no right to recall.

When Liu Che recovered from his illness and saw such a strange court, he immediately collapsed.

Not a physiological breakdown.

It's a psychological breakdown.

He worked hard for ten years, and finally managed to basically gather the power of the court into his hands, and finally arranged some important positions on his own people, but he fell ill and returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, even worse than ten years ago.

Ten years ago, there was no cabinet to restrain him.

Of course, at this time, Liu Che didn't know that this was just the beginning, and there were many things that would restrict him in the future, so he could only endure the anger and collapse in his heart, and at the same time quickly re-understand the changes in the court, so that he could make some responses.

Before he had time to understand all the changes in the court, the firearms battalion that returned triumphantly came back, and he also officially saw the power of firearms.

At this time, although he didn't understand the truth of power coming out of the barrel of a gun, but whoever can grasp the military power can control the right to speak, he still knows, if such a strong army can be mastered by him, then what is the queen mother he is afraid of?

So, he started to make small moves again.

First, he canonized several leaders of the firearms battalion as liehous, and rewarded a lot of things to the rest of the soldiers, and then kept those freshly baked lieges to chat about ideals.

Pulling one is one.

Not to mention, there are indeed those people who are excited, and in their opinion, the emperor is still more orthodox than the empress dowager, so nearly half of them are willing to be loyal immediately, and the rest are talking to Liu Chexu and the snake, saying that they want to think about it.

With the leader of the firearms battalion in action, it was naturally easy for Liu Che to get a few firearms for research, and within a few days he got the musket and artillery, and then asked the craftsmen to imitate it.

After that, the imitation failed.

Moreover, during the experiment, a few shells stolen from the firearms battalion were used, and a lot of losses were caused, and a large number of people were killed on the spot.

Just kidding, the firearms of the arbor are made of stainless steel, so they are naturally not afraid of exploding, but the metal they use is not up to standard at all, whether it is copper or iron, all of them are not up to standard, although the firearms that are not up to the standard are more powerful, but the firearms that are not up to the standard are mainly injured by their own families.

This explosion will not only hurt many people with the original flowering shells and flowering cannons, but also the fragments caused by the explosion of the firearm itself can also hurt many people, so the power is naturally greater.

It's a pity that this is a self-loss of 10,000.

A zero-kill play.

Of course, none of that really matters.

The key thing is that those craftsmen are very confident, and Liu Che himself is also very confident, so he went to the scene to see it himself, and if it wasn't for someone persuading him, he even wanted to throw a bomb himself.

In the end, Liu Che's result was a serious injury.

The face is disfigured, and the tendons are cut by an iron sheet.

Truth be told, this luck has been good

Some were unlucky, and some were killed on the spot, or iron pieces were inserted into arteries, necks or vital organs, and went straight away.

Qiao Mu had long known that someone had stolen the firearm and imitated it, but she really didn't turn a blind eye to plot against Liu Che, after all, this was her grandson, there was no need to do this, Qiao Mu just knew that they couldn't imitate it, so he closed his eyes and didn't see it, whatever they wanted.

But who knew they were so bold.

Or that Liu Che is so bold.

When Qiao Mu received the news, he was also shocked, and then, Liu Che, who was shocked and injured, obviously couldn't continue to go to the court, so Qiao Mu had just taken off the power of the court for a month, and it was in her hands again, or the ministers of the court and the central government begged her to regent the court.

I have to say.

Someone really can't die if they don't do it.

To tell the truth, Qiao Mu originally planned to wait for the Legalists to determine the new Han law, and then she promulgated the Han law, and also bound the emperor to the Han law, to ensure that the idea of the rule of law is not shaken, and then the firearms battalion was independent into a military department, and a certain division was carried out to support the elderly.

But who knows, the law of the Han Dynasty on the Legalist side has not been repaired, Liu Che made this thing on his own initiative, now, it is estimated that there is not a year and a half of fundamental recuperation, and there are problems with the body, and even whether or not to have children in the future is a problem, and according to this situation, Liu Che's psychological problems due to physical injuries in the future are almost stable, such a person is obviously not suitable to continue to stay on the throne, or obviously not suitable to be a real emperor, Therefore, Qiao Mu's original plan can only be used as a backup plan, ready to continue to strengthen the strength of the cabinet, so as to empty the imperial power as much as possible.

In this way, it doesn't matter how big the emperor's psychological problems are, at least he won't fool around with government affairs.

Qiao Mu's behavior of elevating the power of the cabinet and restraining the imperial power should not be too appetizing to those ministers.

Therefore, it was naturally not difficult to implement, and they even enthusiastically helped to remove some obstacles in the process, and in less than half a year, the new cabinet system was formally established.

Of course, in order to prevent the cabinet from sitting big or making trouble, other corresponding government agencies have all been launched in real time, such as the regulatory departments that are not controlled by the cabinet, and the legislative departments that the cabinet has no power to touch, the power is so divided, the cabinet that can control the vast majority of power is left with only the right to manage civil affairs, and the financial power is still relatively divided, in general, the cabinet only has the power to make the general direction of future decision-making, and if there is a problem in decision-making, all members of the cabinet will be affected.

Of course, this overall plan must not be too easy to come out, and it is impossible to be without any flaws, but Qiao Mu has also tried his best.

Anyway, she is not dead, if there are some problems in the future, it will be changed slowly, and now that the tax law has been reformed, the new incremental agricultural tax is enough to curb land annexation, plus crop improvement and increase production, as long as the cabinet does not make a fool of itself, there should be no major problems.

After such a reform by Qiao Mu, when Liu Che recovered from his injuries and took back the power of the court again, he had become a veritable puppet emperor, and he didn't need to meddle in the affairs of the court at all, or he couldn't interfere at all, all departments were running on their own, and he was dispensable as an emperor, basically only bearing a name.

For this matter, Liu Che later went to Changle Palace to question, but unfortunately, Qiao Mu ignored him at all, and only asked people to bring him a few new Han laws and some new books on ideological directions, so that he could see the changes in the current situation.

A year later, Liu Che staged a coup d'état with the help of the Yulin Army, which naturally failed.

After that, Liu Che finally despaired.

He began to be his own honorary emperor.

At this point, the world is under great rule.

In only 20 years, the Han Dynasty became famous all over the world.

The territory is several times larger than in the past.

There are no small vassals around, all of them have turned into Han territory, although Liu Che has not done anything in the past twenty years, the national territory has indeed expanded three or four times, so after his death, he still successfully obtained the title of Emperor Wu.

Yeshi jokingly said that lying down wins Emperor Wu.
