After the Tang dynasty through the An Lushan Rebellion, including the Central political system, all aspects of the state need to be adjusted. In Suzong and Daizong period, for various reasons the Central political system had not been adjusted. To Dezong,it only begun to be adjusted on the Central political system, primarily in three areas:the Hanlin Imperial Academy, the Eunuchs and the Prime ministers.In the period of Dezong, the Mutiny of Jing-Yuan's Soldiers as an opportunity to Imperial Academy has made great progress. This progress has settle down after the mutiny, and it laid the foundation for further development of the Hanlin Imperial Academy during the Xianzong period. The political situation is very turbulent, and one member of the Hanlin Imperial Academy Wang Shuwen mastered the Administrative Authority through using his own advantages which just shows the location advantages of the Hanlin Imperial Academy. The members of the Hanlin Imperial Academy had played a significant role at the moment of decision of the Heir of the Emperor, and they insisted that Li Chun,who was called Xianzong after his death as the Emperor. was the legal heir. So Xianzong immediately appointed Zheng Yin as the Chengzhi-xueshi which is a new position as the leader of the Hanlin Imperial Academy,and soon he appointed Zheng Yin as the Prime Minister. And to drafting the imperial edicts as a right of the Hanlin Imperial Academy has been established in Xianzong period. Although the Chengzhi-xueshi was very trusted by the Emperor, but still is a passive advisory role.After careful consideration, Dezong appointed the eunuchs as the leaders of the Emperor Guards. Till the Eunuch gained complete control of the Emperor Guards, It had gone through a relatively long process which process was a process of the reform of the Emperor Guards. To Xianzong period, the Eunuch gained complete control of the Emperor Guards. And it was also in the period of Xianzong that the Eunuch gained the opportunities for political participation by the Shumi. So the Eunuch's power had been established in Xianzong period. The Prime Minister still has great power in the early Dezong, but late in the Dezon it almost had been completely deprived. In Xianzong period, the power of the Prime Minister was full restoration, and the Prime Minister played a leading role in politics. But then the prime minister's political base has been lost, and thus the power of the prime minister during this period can easily be stripped away.
