After reporting this to Li Yan, Su Mo'er left the royal palace. According to Li Yan's instructions, Su Mo'er began to clean up the forces formed in Yizhou for more than a year by the seventh son of the Cui family.

In the afternoon, Li Yan went to the governor's office, and he summoned Shangguan Yi, Dou Xiande and Wang Yinlong to hold a small meeting.

"Your Highness!" Li Yan entered the official office, and the three of them saluted Li Yan together.

Li Yan nodded and sat down in the main seat. Now his conflicts with the aristocratic families are becoming increasingly acute, and the possibility of conflict is becoming increasingly greater. Time is too late. He must further strengthen his rule over Bashu, which involves more in-depth reforms to the government affairs of Yizhou, rather than staying on the surface.

"Sit down." Li Yan waved his hand, "Today I will only bring you three people. You should understand what I mean, right?"

The three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Shangguan Yi said, "Can you talk about the Cui family's stolen private salt sales?"

Li Yan nodded slightly.

Wang Yinlong went further and said: "Your Highness only asked a few of us to come, but did not let Cui Zhang and Cui Tong come over. The intention was probably not just about private salt. If Weichen's guess was correct, did your Highness no longer trust the Cui clan members?"

Shangguan Yi and Dou Xiande both had the same thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say them out loud. Only Wang Yinlong was more singular and said frankly.

After glanced at the three of them, Li Yan saw their expressions in his eyes. He said, "Now the Cui family is divided into two factions, or the Cui Shao and the Cui family have broken up, and Cui Zhang and others are from the Cui family forces that broke with Cui Shao. How can such people be used in Yizhou?"

"Oh, I've expected this day to happen." Shangguan Yi suddenly sighed, and he was a native of Tang. Sometimes he had a better understanding of the situation of the Tang Dynasty than Li Yan. "Although Your Highness's governance method of Bashu is beneficial to the wealth and strength of Bashu, it is itself destroying the soil for the survival of the gentry. Different ideas will inevitably lead to confrontation. If it weren't for the princess, Cui Shao would probably stand with others."

Dou Xiande's family was not considered a family and naturally did not consider it in the direction of a family. He said: "Mr. Shangguan said it well, different political ideas will definitely cause confrontation."

After a few modern nouns were spoken from them, Li Yan smiled and said, "You all learn the subject of politics very well now, and you still know the political philosophy."

"There is no way, if you don't study, you will fall behind. Now all the students in the Government Affairs College are better than us. We are also deeply frightened." Shangguan Yi found it difficult to accept those new government affairs concepts at the beginning, but as time went by and actual governance, he gradually began to understand the power of this advanced concept, and he no longer rejected it, but began to study hard.

Dou Xiande and Wang Yinlong also had a deep feeling when they heard this and nodded in agreement.

Li Yan was very pleased. He was exhausted and moved the books and courseware from modern times to the Tang Dynasty. After all, it was not in vain. So he said: "Since this is the case, you should understand the current situation. The development of Yizhou may be completely out of touch with other parts of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and sometimes there may even conflicts due to different concepts. But you don't have to worry about these. You just need to manage Bashu well. As for the conflicts, I will be responsible for dealing with them."

"Yes, Your Highness!" the three of them said in unison.

Li Yan continued: "Like the Military Academy, from now on, I will select excellent students with you and I will go to the Bashu states to serve, and establish a new government system. In this way, the entire Bashu government orders can be uniform, which will be a deep change."

The three of them instantly realized that after the deep reform of the military system, the government system also ushered in deep changes. This also indicates a complete break between Li Yan and the aristocratic family, and from then on, each one goes one side.

At this meeting, Li Yan announced specific rectification rules. Among them, Shangguan Yi, Dou Xiande and Wang Yinlong were no longer responsible for the government affairs of Yizhou, but began to coordinate the government affairs of the entire seventeen states of Bashu. Li Yan also re-divided the powers of the three. Shangguan Yi served as the chief minister of the Shu Palace and was responsible for the government affairs of the prime minister, equivalent to the governor.

Wang Yinlong has a strong personality and serves as a record officer. Li Yan asked him to replace Cui Zhang and set up a brand new institutional supervisory agency. It is a modern procuratorate, responsible for legal supervision, investigation of corruption and other work. It is directly under the management of Li Yan and is not managed by Shangguan Yi.

Su Mo'er's position is what modern society calls the general manager of politics and law, responsible for public security, counter-espionage and other work. Dou Xiande served as the Sima of the royal palace and was under the management of Shangguan Yi, equivalent to Shangguan Yi's deputy, while other officials selected and supplemented various positions from the School of Government Affairs.

In this deep reform, Li Yan did not copy the modern democratic system. He just wanted to take a small step forward, not too big, otherwise there would only be problems. This administrative system between feudalism and democracy was just in line with his wishes.

Shangguan Yi and the other two were busy recording as Li Yan said. The three of them were all excited. They were all veterans who followed Li Yan and now they have received corresponding rewards, especially Wang Yinlong, who came from a poor family. His success inspired many poor people and indirectly promoted Li Yan.

In addition to the appointment of the three, Li Yan asked them to start to enter some advanced management methods into various institutions, such as the Municipal Yishu supplemented some students studying business administration, and asked them to re-regulate the commercial market. At the same time, they also established departments such as finance, water conservancy, sanitation, taxation, etc. to completely correct the bad habits of local officials in all matters.

The meeting lasted until dark. Li Yan was talking about the dry mouth. In fact, the students from the Government Affairs College were very clear about these things. After all, they were not just a good meal. After reading so many books and explanations, they all knew how to establish a complete government affairs organization. But Li Yan had to speak in the general direction, otherwise they would not dare to move.

"Your Highness, after this reform, Bashu will surely prosper even more." Shangguan Yi said excitedly.

Li Yan was not humble either, "We are taking a different path. We can see whatever others like. As long as the people live a prosperous life."

"Your Highness really loves the people as much as his son!" Dou Xiande rarely flattered him. After saying that, the few people laughed. This was not because Dou Xiande flattered him, but because Li Yan allowed them to see a bright future. This is what they scholars pursued.

Unlike the hopeful Shangguan Yi and others, Cui Zhang and Cui Tong understood their fate after receiving the suspension notice. After the incident of stealing private salt was exposed, four Cui family children were arrested by Wuhou. The two of them, together with Cui Wanqing, were announced to be removed from their posts on the third day after Li Yan returned.

"What should I do now? The family is going to choose a new patriarch now, which means we and the princess are on the opposite side. Your Highness probably saw this and could no longer trust us." Cui Wanqing said anxiously.

Cui Tong said dejectedly: "What else can you do? If it weren't for those four idiots smuggling private salt, Your Highness wouldn't have been so angry.

Only Cui Tong and Cui Wanqing quarreled all the time in the whole room, while Cui Zhang was silent. At this time, he finally couldn't help it. "Don't argue with both of you. This is not a problem of private salt, nor is it a problem of conflicts within the family. This is caused by the new governmental philosophy of the aristocratic clans and His Highness. Now the opposition between His Highness and the powerful in the north. With His Highness's temper, can he still tolerate a political force in his fiefdom?"

Cui Zhang's words silenced the two of them. After a while, Cui Wanqing said, "Will your Highness kill us?"

Cui Tong and Cui Zhang felt cold when they heard this, and he said, "Let's go find the princess, and I hope your highness can let us go back to Chang'an."

After the long meeting, Li Yan rode back on a horse. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Cui Yingying standing alone in the main hall. Jin Daqian walked over and said, "Your Highness, Cui Zhang has come to find the princess."

Li Yan handed the horse to Jin Daqian. He went straight into the main hall and saw that there were still tears in the corner of Cui Yingying's eyes. It was obvious that he had just cried. He walked up to Cui Yingying and said, "Do you know everything?"

Nodding, Cui Yingying said, "Why is this happening? When I was in Chang'an, I felt something was wrong. Although the people in the family were very polite when they saw me, they were a little unfamiliar after all. I was still very strange. I only now understand why?"

The marriage between Li Yan and Cui Yingying is a political marriage and is easily influenced by each other's family. Li Yan has always been worried about the arrival of this moment, but sometimes he has to face it, "Yingying, the Cui family is no longer the Cui family before. Your father chose me, which makes me very grateful, but you must understand that the relationship between the royal family and the Cui family cannot be as harmonious as before. Of course, except for your father, I will also send a letter to the father to give your father support, but he may never have the support of the family again in the future."

Although Cui Yingying was not willing to see this result, she understood that the situation in the Cui family is now powerless to make things happen. No matter what, his parents and husband are her most important person. Whether she is from the Cui family is no longer important.

"Your Highness, I understand. In the future, Yingying will be the princess of Shu, no longer the eldest daughter of Cui, and will no longer seek benefits for Cui in Yizhou. From now on, Yingying will be the woman of Your Highness."

Li Yan looked at Cui Yingying who was crying, and took her into her arms, breathing a sigh of relief: "Okay, you are just the princess of the Shu Palace in the future, so don't worry about those intrigues again."

"Yeah!" Cui Yingying responded and raised her head, "But Yingying has one last thing to do to ask Your Highness!"

Li Yan smiled and said, "I understand that Cui Zhang and the others are involuntarily. Besides, they have done a lot of things for Yizhou. Although I can no longer trust them because of the Cui family, I will not kill them ruthlessly. I will let them return to Cui family safely, including the four involved in smuggling private salt. As for enemies or friends in the future, it depends on God's will!"

Cui Yingying nodded, and her hand holding Li Yan tightened even tighter.
