During the four days of the return journey, the emperor would let the crown prince and young master Wei Guogong Gao Yue hold the sword every night to protect the side of his chariot, so until Chang'an City, the emperor's sleep quality recovered a lot, and his mind was much smoother.

On the tenth day of the car's return to Beijing, the crown prince Li Yu immediately resigned from the prison and avoided returning to the Shaoyang Courtyard, and the emperor, who had figured out most of the affairs, convened a great court meeting in the Hanyuan Palace.

When the ministers lined up to cross the east and west courts, before entering the Hanyuan Palace, and then entered the Zhengya Zichen Hall in turn, the incense case stood by Du Huangshang, Gao Yue, Wei Gao, Du You, Lu Zhen, Han Wei, Zheng Qi, Dong Jin and other rulers, and soon the emperor also sat on the throne accompanied by the imperial fan, and the courtiers all saluted, and then sat down densely according to the east and west corridors of civil and military affairs.

With the approval of the emperor, the court announced the change of the yuan, and the first day of the next year will be the "first day of the first year of Zhenyuan", and the world will be amnesty.

The emperor originally planned to crown all the rulers and Fang Yue as princes, but they were unanimously rejected by everyone, and you still retained the original titles. In addition, the emperor wanted to give Gao Yue, Wei Gao and other bows and arrows (main felling), Yu Yue (special killing), Gui Zan (sacrifice) and other ritual weapons according to the ancient system, but Gao Yue also refused: "Your Majesty, the so-called Gou Ri Xin is new every day and is new every day, how can the innovation of the world be stopped?" If everything goes back to the retro, there will inevitably be a ridicule of following the name and discarding the original, for the present world, Chen Yue believes that the goal is to 'become thin and vulgar in the past, and be righteous in the future, believe that the six books can not be discussed, and the only one who surpasses the hundred kings is also'! Please forgive the ministers for not accepting the sins of the ancient princes. ”

The emperor's head on the throne is extremely true.

Subsequently, Lu Zhen presented his own "Zhenyuan New Deal Invitation Articles", and the emperor asked Du Huangshang, a Chinese scholar, to recite it aloud in front of Zichen Palace.

The core of Zhenyuan's new policy lies in Gao Yue's mouth, "Super 100 kings and unique!" ”

Administratively, the province system of Zhongshu was implemented throughout the country, and the province was merged in the court's Zhongshu Gate, and the prime minister's team continued to take Du Huangshang as the chief of the pen for the time being, called the "prime minister", while Lu Zhen, Han Wei, and Zheng Qi were the "secondary ministers", and the prime minister's team was only responsible for the emperor, and the lower was responsible for the government, and the courtesy was not a hundred bureaucrats. Two years later, the emperor approved the new list of prime ministers under the Zhongshu Sect, of course, there is a high probability that Wei Gao succeeded Du Huangshang as prime minister in the name of Zhongshu Ling.

At the same time as changing the political affairs hall under the Zhongshu Gate to the "Zaitang", the six departments of Shangshu Province were changed to the "Political Yuan", which was controlled by Shangshu and servants, who were responsible for the operation of affairs and the promotion of talents in Taiwan Province. The affairs of the political court are directly connected with the five rooms of the Zaitang and the Zhongshu Sheren, while the Tongshi Sheren is responsible for communicating with the emperor, and at the same time, the Zaitang is also directly promoted to the superior institutions of the three financial divisions, namely the Duzhi, the Household Department, and the Salt and Iron.

The three divisions are responsible for the national taxation and prohibition, and also began to coordinate the national budget, the basic spirit is to live within the means, Lu Zhen retro the system in the "Book of Rites", to count the number of tax revenues in the past 30 years, and then set the "general system for national use" (that is, the tax rate yuan), but Gao Yue persuaded him that after the new deal of Zhenyuan, the country may have a more intense growth period, so the limit of 30 years is too rigid, and it is better to change to 10 years, Lu Zhen said that he accepted, in addition, if there is a surplus in the national budget, he will audit out the "Hao Book", If it is insufficient, it will be audited out of the "violent book" and reviewed by the prime minister.

As for the envoy of Shang Shu Servant who no longer hangs on the Ping Zhangshi, he has fallen into the role of specific execution, and began to discuss the separation of power with the prime minister, and completely moved towards the role of an administrative officer.

In addition, the original internal and external privy council, after which the privy council was no longer held by the lieutenant officials, unified and merged into a new "cardinal", the powers and responsibilities have also undergone great changes, according to Lu Zhen's conception, that is, the cardinal council is the "imperial military leadership body", under the military Fu Division, the staff department, the Imperial City Division, according to the judicial department, the teaching and training department and the military division of a total of six divisions, and since then, in addition to the border towns and provinces, the management of the army under the control of the Zhongshu Province Pingzhang has been transferred, and the military of the hinterland provinces is unified under the jurisdiction of the Cardinals. That is to say, many Fangzhen soldiers controlled by the imperial court will gradually merge with the forbidden army and be placed under the cardinal's court to become a new type of Tang Imperial Defense Army. As for the Ministry of War, the main responsibilities of the Ministry of War from now on are to select military talents, change the candidates in the Martial Temple, publish military theories, research military equipment, etc., and will not be responsible for logistics and conquest.

Of course, the choice of the cardinal has also been the subject of relatively intense discussions.

The emperor paid attention to Gao Yue or Jia Tan, who was about to return from his service.

But Gao Yue humbly refused again, saying that the Cardinal Council had just been formed, and the powers and responsibilities were still being explored. It is better for Lu Zhen to temporarily serve as a cardinal, and after the end of the next year, Jia Gong will directly take over.

However, the emperor's internal worship officials are still the same, such as advising the doctor, picking up the missing and filling the que, and the imperial history platform, which can be directly selected and promoted by the emperor, not only to persuade the emperor, but also to act as the emperor's eyes and ears, which can be regarded as the result of Gao Yue's insistence, to leave the emperor with "dignity", that is, the right to participate in politics and discuss politics appropriately.

In short, since then, the central political system of the empire has actually been controlled by the ministers of the four systems, and the prime minister of Zaitang is the "Tang Gong", who is the center of government affairs; Shang Shu Servant is still the "Du Gong" of the Political Yuan (Shang Shu Servant is called Du Tang in the Shangshu Provincial General Office), and he is in charge of government affairs and executes; The privy envoys of the Council of Cardinals are "privy dukes", in charge of military affairs; Of course, the Imperial Historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Imperial Historian Zhongcheng and the Chief Attendant Imperial Historian are still called "Duan Gong", but compared with the previous three dukes, the power of this duke has been greatly reduced, and it can only be said that it is a tribute to the last seat.

In fact, Lu Zhen also wanted to carry out drastic reforms to the emperor's forbidden system, such as dismissing redundant palace people, allowing them to marry freely, and suppressing the Zhongguan group, but Gao Yue persuaded him not to be in a hurry in everything, so as not to counterattack too much, so Lu Zhen gave up.

Of course, these are only the first aspects of Zhenyuan's new policy.

Lu Zhen's idea, as well as ideological innovation, that is, with the help of the emperor's Feng Zen as the reason, re-delete the "Five Classics and Five Rites", this is the real "super hundred kings and unique" fundamental, but this matter is not something that can be obtained overnight, what is done now is to convene people who are proficient in the etiquette system across the country, if Chen Jing, the prefect of Jixian Academy, Liu Mian and Lu Chun, who are working in Wuzhou and Xinzhou, and Hu Xijin, who has just returned from the book, as well as Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, Li Jiang, Han Yu and other rookies, collectively promote this matter.

As for the top priority, Lu Yi announced in the Zichen Palace, that is:

"The imperial government is retro, the king is respected, the province is established, and the copyright is returned!"

These sixteen words reverberated loudly and reverberate.

In the Zichen Palace, all the permanent counselors, regardless of their martial arts, all stood in awe, and collectively bowed down to the emperor on the throne.
