Maxtla was put to death, and the lawful prince placed upon the throne.

He showed great magnanimity, granting a general amnesty, and then set about to remodel the government.
Three departments were formed: the Council of War, the Council of Finance, and the Council of Justice; and in each of these bodies, a certain number of citizens were allowed to have seats with the nobles and state officers.

The highest body was composed of fourteen members, all belonging to the highest orders of nobles.
This was called the Council of State, which aided the king in the dispatch of business, and advised him in all matters of importance.
Its members had seats provided for them at the royal table.
Lastly, there was a tribunal known as the Council of Music.

This was composed of the best instructed persons in the country, without regard of rank, and was devoted to the encouragement of all branches of science and art.

All works on these subjects had to be submitted to them, before they could be made public.
