    After the banquet, Liu Che immediately sent people to investigate the power of Empress Dowager Dou. At the same time, he also asked Wei Qing to go outside Chang'an City to see if the 60,000 Xiongnu heads claimed by the Empress Dowager were true or false?

    The results are naturally true.

    The reason Liu Che didn't know about the relevant situation before was because Qiao Mu hid the information, but since he was ready to slap him in the face, how could he continue to hide the information? Therefore, Liu Che sent people to investigate again without any hindrance, and even related information  It was delivered directly to investigators.

    But it is this information.

    It made Liu Che sleepless all night.

    The same goes for his mother, the Queen Mother.

    I wasn¡¯t too worried at first, but after learning about the situation, I suddenly became worried.

    He really didn¡¯t know what the Queen Mother wanted to do by secretly cultivating such a terrifying army. Although he was a little worried that the Queen Mother would attack him, based on previous experience, the Queen Mother did not look like such a person.

    In short, it¡¯s very confusing.

    It is difficult to understand what the Empress Dowager who does not help her mother-in-law wants to do such a move. It is also difficult to understand why the Empress Dowager, who has never interfered in political affairs and was even willing to delegate power in the early stage, would do this. It always feels like she is just a professional.  It's so annoying to cause trouble for him.

    Every time he wanted to do something or do something great, something that might go down in history, the Empress Dowager would always intervene. Although she did not intervene this time to attack the Huns, she was now  Comparing the Empress Dowager's achievements, his previous act of celebrating Wei Qing's killing of 700 Xiongnu seemed like a joke. Didn't this cause trouble for him?

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

    The angrier you get, the more anxious you become.

    In desperation, he fell ill.

    Excessive qi damages the liver, coupled with tossing and turning for several nights and difficulty in falling asleep, one illness can lead to serious illness.

    However, Liu Che was worried that after he really lay down, the Empress Dowager would seize power and find reasons to get involved in politics. Therefore, he could only order the imperial doctor to keep it secret while forcing himself to go to court every day, pretending  Act like you're not sick.

    It¡¯s strange that this can cure diseases.

    I can¡¯t hold on for less than half a month.

    Completely collapsed.

    The kind that is semi-conscious.

    What can Qiao Mu do?

    The emperor was already semi-conscious.

    She is the one with the highest status now.

    Naturally, we have to act as regent first.

    So after Liu Che finally woke up after being given medicine by the imperial doctor, he heard the news that the Queen Mother was once again regent, and suddenly fainted from anger.

    Fortunately, he was young. If he had to be replaced by someone older, he might have had a stroke or died directly.

    Qiao Mu was not in a hurry, but took advantage of the regent's time to quickly change all the policies that she had previously disliked. At the same time, she also ordered the Legalists to gather in Chang'an to rebuild the laws of the Han Dynasty.

    In addition, an imperial examination was held incidentally, with six subjects divided into imperial examinations, and a total of seven subjects including the martial arts examination. At this time, the aristocratic family school had not yet officially taken shape, but was only in its early stages of formation.

    Therefore, although there is some opposition, it is not loud. Most of the people in the world are educated by scholars and have not yet had time to become disciples of various sects of aristocratic families. For them, if they want to become officials, they have to try their luck. It depends on their luck.  Whether you have connections or not, if you can now pass the exam and serve as an official based on your true ability, you will undoubtedly be very happy and agree.

    Therefore, the introduction of the imperial examination did not encounter many obstacles, and it was quickly implemented smoothly throughout the country.

    So, when Liu Che recovered from his illness, the Han Dynasty court was completely different from the court in his memory. It was a completely earth-shaking change.

    The various systems that existed in the pre-Qin period such as the prime minister were completely abandoned by Qiao Mu and replaced by the cabinet plus three provinces and six ministries system. The Confucian disciples who were originally highly valued by Liu Che were also unified by Qiao Mu and assigned to the Ministry of Rites to manage documents. Those they had freed up  Official positions and newly added positions were all filled by talents selected from the first imperial examination.

    After Qiao Mu's actions, the imperial power was suddenly greatly reduced. The power of the Prime Minister far exceeded that of the original Prime Minister. Even the Emperor could not revoke it casually. There must be evidence to clearly prove that the Prime Minister was not worthy of the position, or he had made a big mistake.  Otherwise, the emperor has no right to remove him.

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

    It¡¯s not a physical breakdown.

    It¡¯s a psychological breakdown.

    He worked hard for ten years and finally managed to gather the power of the court into his hands.Government.

    Qiao Mu¡¯s behavior of exalting the power of the cabinet and restraining the imperial power should not be too to the liking of those ministers.

    Therefore, it was naturally not difficult to implement it. They even actively helped to clear some obstacles in the process. In less than half a year, the new cabinet system was officially established.

    Of course, in order to prevent the cabinet from getting too powerful or causing trouble, Qiao Mu also launched various other corresponding government agencies in real time, such as regulatory departments that are not under the control of the cabinet, and legislative departments that the cabinet has no power to touch. With such a division of power, what could have been done  The cabinet, which controls the vast majority of power, only has the power to manage civil affairs. Moreover, financial power is still relatively divided. Generally speaking, the cabinet only has the power to formulate the general direction of future decision-making. If there is a problem with the decision-making, the cabinet will have all the power.  All members will be affected.

    Of course, this overall plan will definitely not be easy to come up with, nor will it be without any flaws, but Qiao Mu has tried his best.

    Anyway, she is not dead yet. If there are some problems in the future, they will be corrected slowly. Moreover, the tax law has been reformed. The new incremental agricultural tax is enough to restrain land annexation. Coupled with the improvement of crops and the increase in production, as long as the cabinet does not act like a suicide.  If you mess around, there shouldn't be any big problems.

    After Qiao Mu's reforms, by the time Liu Che recovered from his injuries and took back the power of the government, he had become a veritable puppet emperor. He did not need to intervene in the affairs of the court at all, or in other words, he could not intervene at all.  The departments are all running on their own, and he, the emperor, is completely dispensable and basically only has a title.

    For this matter, Liu Che later went to Changle Palace to question him. Unfortunately, Qiao Mu ignored him at all and only asked him to bring him a few newly published books on Han law and some new ideological directions for him to read.  Look at the changes in the current situation.

    A year later, Liu Che used the Yulin Army to launch a coup, which naturally failed.

    Since then, Liu Che finally despaired.

    Started Ansheng to be his honorary emperor.

    At this point, the world is in great order.

    In just twenty years, the great Han became famous all over the world.

    The territory has expanded several times compared to the past.

    There are no more vassals of small countries around, and everything has become the territory of the Han Dynasty. In the past twenty years, although Liu Che has done nothing, the country's territory has indeed expanded three or four times, so after his death, he still successfully obtained Emperor Wu  title.

    The unofficial historian jokingly said that he could defeat Emperor Wu by lying down.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
