I was reborn as the villain

Chen Zhimo slept for half a day and it was already afternoon when he got up. Chen Zhimo did not make many arrangements that day. He postponed his meeting with the dignitaries of the court.

After washing up, he went to Qian Peiyuan's tomb. After arriving there, he found that the place had undergone tremendous changes. It had the grandeur of a tomb of a prince or noble, and there were even tomb keepers.

After some inquiries, he learned that it was the emperor who ordered the posthumous title of Princess Puguang to Qian Peiyuan and then built a mausoleum. It seemed that the young emperor was doing him a favor and of course trying to win over Qian Sanhao.

With the guidance of the tomb keeper, Chen Zhimo finally found the main hall of the mausoleum.

Arriving at Qian Peiyuan's tomb, Chen Zhimo was filled with emotion and sighed, "They didn't disturb you, did they?"

The young emperor was very thoughtful. He did not move Qian Peiyuan's coffin, but instead built a mausoleum around it.

Chen Zhimo dismissed everyone and sat alone beside Qian Peiyuan's tombstone.

Chen Zhimo gently stroked the tombstone and said softly, "I'm back. I came to see you. I'm a little late. You won't blame me, right?"

"Today I will stay with you, no matter what. I will talk to you and sing for you."

Chen Zhimo chatted with Qian Peiyuan, telling her about what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and sang beautiful songs for her.

Time passed quickly and it was dark before he knew it. Chen Zhimo did not go home, but slept next to Qian Peiyuan's tombstone for the night.

The next morning, Chen Zhimo woke up and said, "Xiaoyuan, I'm leaving. I'll come to see you again in a few days."

It's time for Chen Zhimo to deal with the powerful people of the dynasty.

Of course, Chen Zhimo did not really visit, he just spread the news that he was free, and the dignitaries of the dynasty all rushed to Yu Shuimoxuan.

Chen Zhimo received some visitors together and some individually, but even so, there was still an endless stream of visitors. After three days of dealing with them, Chen Zhimo closed the door and refused to see visitors. He had done what he should do and given enough face to those dignitaries of status. There was no need to bother with the rest of the small fish and shrimps, as he did not have so much free time. The rest of the dealings were left to Chen Xiaoheng. During the days when Chen Zhimo was away, this kid had become adept at handling these situations.

Chen Zhimo had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a summons from the little emperor. It seemed that the little emperor had been paying attention to his movements.

After Chen Zhimo entered the palace, he came to a new hall. This was the meeting hall set up by the young emperor. It was equivalent to the cabinet, where a team of elites in the court held meetings.

The establishment of the Council Hall greatly weakened the power of the Ten Ministries and Ten Departments, and also made the imperial power more centralized. On the one hand, the officials in the Council Hall would hold official positions in the court, which were public duties, and on the other hand, they would serve the emperor, discuss state affairs, and implement national policies, which were private duties. However, it was both private and public, and they just worked more for the emperor.

In just one or two years, Xun Liuchen had completely taken control of the court. He also set up a council hall to disperse the power of the powerful in the court, increased centralization of power, established the emperor's majesty, and everyone in the country submitted to him.

"Tai Zuo, you have kept me waiting for so long. This country's reform cannot be done without you."

Seeing Chen Zhimo coming, Xun Liuchen greeted him warmly, and affectionately pulled Chen Zhimo over and led him into the hall.

In the meeting hall, there are many newly promoted officials who don't know much about Chen Zhimo. In addition, they are now in high positions and have great power, so they may become arrogant. Xun Liuchen's move is to tell everyone present that Chen Zhimo is the person he values ​​the most, so that Chen Zhimo will have more say in the formulation of future reform policies.

In fact, the reforms in Shucang State have been progressing very well. Whether in terms of economy or administration, it is ahead of many other countries of the same period.

The previous battle also demonstrated the country's prestige. At present, Shucang is a leading country in politics, economy, military and culture.

Of course, the Chen family’s contribution is indispensable, especially the various involvement of Hengkong Group.

Chen Zhimo's previous reform measures were also taking effect. The new policies were implemented and improved more forcefully after Chen Zhimo left. Xun Liuchen was indeed a good emperor.

This time, Xun Liuchen is so concerned about further deepening the reform because he sees the importance of reform to the country's development. He wants to cut off the root of evils, grow new branches, revitalize the country, and restore the glory of Shucang.

The previous unrest in the country disrupted the domestic balance, allowing Xun Liuchen to cooperate with Chen Zhimo to break the pressure from the aristocratic clans and the nobles in the court in one fell swoop, and then rebuild it. From trying to implement new policies to comprehensively implementing reforms, they put the country on the road to prosperity.

After Chen Zhimo left, Xun Liuchen also implemented the strategy of unified thinking and culture in accordance with Chen Zhimo's ideas, and established national self-confidence and pride in Shucang, making the regime more stable and the people more united.

With the full efforts of the Ministry of National Etiquette, a consensus has been reached on upholding national customs, understanding national etiquette, and respecting the country. The country of Shucang is now more cohesive and has a stronger sense of national belonging.

However, when it comes to promoting the unification of ideology and culture, Xun Liuchen is still a little confused. He has implemented some policies, but the results are not very good.

Xun Liuchen hopes to take advantage of Chen Zhimo's return to further deepen reforms within the country and to formulate a complete unified system of ideology and culture outside the country. To put it bluntly, he wants to better carry out cultural assimilation and make the four parties surrender without spending any military force.

Now Shucang City has become a holy place for the Galao people. Many cultural origins and heritages have been connected and promoted. Many foreign friends have come to Shucang City to trace their roots and make pilgrimages.

Chen Zhimo stayed in the palace for more than half a month this time, and soon gained the respect and admiration of all the officials in the council hall. Chen Zhimo's various ideas were truly unconventional and unexpected, and this advanced thinking amazed everyone.

After these busy days, the internal and external reform systems of Shucang State have been completely determined, forming the future national guidelines and policies of Shucang State.

Certain arrangements have also been made for specific operational matters. Next, the Hengkong Group will cooperate with the court to take major actions.

In fact, in terms of cultural output and ideological unity, Chen Zhimo often referred to some history of the world on Earth when formulating policies. For example, how the former hegemonic countries carried out cultural invasions and how his own country carried out ideological unity and cultural counter-invasion. As long as the key is understood, relevant policies can be formulated.
