Liu Song Hanque

When Liu Yizhen, who was far away in Pyongyang, knew the news, another three months had passed.

The long distance makes the transmission of information extremely slow, but it also gives people enough time to accept and reflect.

"I should go back."

Goguryeo has been established, and most of the Northeast is savage tribes. The only country that can pose a threat to the Liu Song border will basically be pacified when Liu Yilong leads troops to the country in the future.

Apart from Liu Yilong and Cui Hao, what Liu Yizhen didn't expect was that Xie Hui also wanted to stay here.

"Not going back?"

"Not going back."

During Xie Hui's time in Pyongyang, it seemed that he had a very relaxed life.

Perhaps here, he felt the peace that Xie An had when he left Jiankang and went to Guangling.

Regarding Liu Yizhen's next plan and the future direction of the Liu Song Dynasty, Xie Hui seemed to be completely unwilling to care about it.

"Never mind."

It was a pity that Xie Hui wanted to keep Liu Yi, but he still chose to respect his choice.

"Your Duke's fief, I will help you choose here."

"When you go back, someone will come to survey the map, and then you can choose first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Hui still felt a little guilty.

He also knew what happened in Chang'an.

He knew that Liu Yizhen still had a heavy burden to carry on his shoulders in the future.

Leaving at this time actually took away part of Liu Yizhen's strength and made Liu Yizhen even more lonely to fight alone.

Liu Yizhen understood the emotion in Xie Hui's eyes, and put his hand on Xie Hui's shoulder: "I'm fine."

"I have fought with Emperor Taizu and Zhen for most of my life, so it's time to rest."

"I can walk the rest of the way by myself."

After comforting Xie Hui, Liu Yizhen took the army back to Hebei by sea, and then arrived in Chang'an after several months.

"I'll think about it now, Yu Xue Fei Fei."

"When I left Chang'an that day, I remembered that the willow trees beside the street were only as thick as my wrist, but now they are as thick as the mouth of a bowl."

Even the scenery is like this, let alone people?
After returning to the palace, Liu Yizhen did not rush to summon all the officials first, but went to see Queen Mother Sun to pay her respects.

After that, it was natural to appease the concubines one by one.

Although a few years will not cause a gap between Liu Yizhen and his own woman, but not necessarily with his own children.

When the children first started to remember things, Liu Yizhen, the father, was not with them, which caused Liu Yizhen's children to feel a little strange when they saw Liu Yizhen.

Especially the eldest son, Liu An, has grown from a half-baby to a child who can run and jump.When he saw Liu Yizhen, he had long forgotten that the person in front of him often hugged and played with him when he was young. Instead, he hid behind the Queen Wang in fear and was unwilling to come out.

"An'er! Call Father Emperor!"

Although Liu An was a little unfamiliar with Liu Yizhen's influence, he could see that the Queen Wang had educated him well, so he saluted Liu Yizhen honestly and called him his father.

Empress Wang stroked Liu An's head, apologetic, and looked at Liu Yizhen with some embarrassment.

In fact, Liu Yizhen was not angry, on the contrary, the apology in his eyes was actually stronger.

"I have wronged you all these years."

Liu Yizhen also touched Liu An's head when he came up, but his eyes kept looking at Queen Wang.

"Wang Xiu should have told you all about it. As a mother, are you willing?"

Queen Wang's eyes were bright: "Listen to Your Majesty."

"Because Your Majesty, the most powerful!"

Everyone is staring at the palace.

They wanted to know what kind of opinion Liu Yizhen had on the cabinet established by Wang Xiu.

But to everyone's surprise, since Liu Yizhen came back, except for one sacrifice to heaven, he has never even been out in person.

Liu Yizhen didn't even show up for the court meeting on the first day of every month, as if Liu Yizhen never came back at all.

Such a cold treatment naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people. For a while, countless memorials poured into the three provinces and six ministries like white snow, seeming to flood the entire palace.

Under such strong pressure, Liu Yizhen finally moved.

"The imperial court will plan to establish the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Taxation, and then establish two departments."

Among the six ministries in the three provinces, there used to be one household department responsible for people's livelihood and finance and economics.

But now with the establishment of a large number of family workshops and government companies like Hebei, it is obvious that one household department can no longer meet the financial development of the empire.

This restructuring is to divide the original household department into three, and become three departments of household, finance and tax, so as to better adapt to the future development of Liu Song Empire.

If it's just dismembering the household department like this, it won't make any waves in the court.

After all, the original three provinces and six ministries were almost all in the hands of the emperor, and splitting them into one or two was nothing more than a matter of left hand and right hand.

But in the imperial edict issued this time, what surprised everyone the most was that there was no traditional seal of the emperor.

Instead, there is a big seal from the cabinet!

Seeing such a result, everyone understood one thing——

The cabinet was created at the behest of the emperor.

It's just that only a small number of people have seen other clues.

"Whether it is the emperor or the cabinet, power is centralized."

"But behind the seemingly concentrated, there is another force that is completely different from the imperial power..."

"My lord, what are you doing?"

"..."

It is not that no one protested after the edict was promulgated. Of course, what protested was not the content, but the situation.

Some radical scholars even came to the door of Wang Xiu, Gao Yun and others with dung buckets to throw dung, calling them rebellious officials and thieves.

And all of this, the imperial court did not respond in person, but all the edicts issued later were stamped with the big seal of the cabinet, as if to resist the pressure to the end.

The edict can still be carried out with absolute strength in Guanzhong, but when it reaches the Guandong, some people gradually refuse to accept it.

"What is the cabinet? Without the emperor's jade seal, this edict is a piece of waste paper!"

"..."

Generally speaking, the effect of the edict's implementation is not significant, and some hard-headed officials always reject the edict issued by the cabinet with various reasons, which makes the central government a headache.

It wasn't until the latest edict, which was not only stamped with the great seal of the cabinet, but also the emperor's jade seal, that the matter gradually calmed down.

Even though there are still people who are dissatisfied, it is undoubtedly a good start compared to the previous cabinet's "dominant family".

For all this, Chaotang seems to have been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Liu Yizhen, who is well aware of human nature, never thought of letting the cabinet come to the front.

After all, if you say that the room is too dark and you want to open a skylight in the room, everyone will definitely not allow it.But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to mediate and are willing to open the skylight.

Now the skylight is open.
