Although narcissistic and shameless, after all, living in the Zhenguan period is definitely better than living in the Daye period. If I accidentally traveled back to the Daye period, I guess I am now following the thirty-six rebels, selling my head and blood, and there will be no such good opportunity to enjoy. Suning cherishes the hard-earned opportunity to enjoy it, so these minor problems of His Majesty Li Er can still tolerate it.

"You guys have some conscience. I know this truth. If you lived in the former Sui Dynasty, you would have died a long time ago. Wei Zheng would have been killed by Yang Guang long ago, and he met me. Humph, forget it, I won't care about you, but you have to explain to me clearly when is the good time to take action." His Majesty Li Er was obviously very concerned about this issue. Even if he was narcissistic, he would not be willing to relax his attention to this matter.

This is indeed a good thing. Of course, the control must be strong and you must not lose control. Otherwise, if the emperor does this, he will not know whether he can listen to those advices with an inflatable self-confidence. Only under the oppression of a powerful opponent can the emperor humbly accept advice and improve himself. If he loses a powerful opponent and loses an opposing enemy within, can His Majesty Li Er still humbly accept advice?

He must not be given the opportunity to make arbitrary decisions.

The legacy of the prosperous Zhenguan period in history is also indispensable to the contributions of those wealthy families. Although these contributions are negative and unintentional, without these contributions, I really don’t know if there will be a future grand occasion and I will lose a very important opportunity. This opportunity is only provided by the Tang Dynasty in this era. Seize this opportunity, promote universal education, and then step by step. At least, the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty can be used as a reference. If you want to further develop, you need a corresponding height.

Perhaps in my life, I could only see the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty gaining a foothold in the Tang Dynasty, but I would not see the birth of the Administrative Yuan and the Advisory Council of various provinces in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. However, at least I left a blueprint for political reform for future generations that can continue to improve, leaving what I should do next for future generations, so that those social elites who have fully understood the importance of political reform will continue their careers that they cannot complete, leaving a spark.

Originally, this matter was a long and long way to go. Maybe it would not be possible within two or three hundred years, and even if I was an emperor, it would be difficult to accomplish it. Not to mention that I was just a minister. At least when His Majesty Li Er was alive, he would not even think about it. Even if he wanted to, he would have to wait until this hardcore power-sect emperor died before doing it. From now on, Li Chengqian was influenced, because in China now, there was only the possibility of reforming from top to bottom, but no possibility of revolution from bottom to top.

People's wisdom can be democratic even if they have not opened up. There is no necessary order of democracy and people's wisdom, but democracy will definitely grow with the growth of people's wisdom. The level of people's wisdom determines the height of democracy. The height of democracy will promote the progress of people's wisdom and complement each other. Neither is indispensable. If the Tang Dynasty wants to achieve democracy today, it lacks economic power and theoretical basis. It is unrealistic to rely on itself alone. But you must bring those things to the Tang Dynasty. In such an era, you will observe the feasibility, because you have denied several paths in the future.

There is always someone who has taken a path that no one has taken, otherwise how can we know if it can be done? If such a path cannot be completed, Suning will study the possibility of improving the social system. If we can take a new path, why not do it? Let’s try that path first in another place and then consider something else!

"Your Majesty, this matter is too important. It is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. To accomplish this, the right time, place, people and people are indispensable. You must not act rashly. Because of the success of the military university, you think that the literati university can also be achieved overnight. That is incorrect. The literati university involves too wide and without complete preparations, we have no chance of victory. We will only be beaten by them by their weakness and lose the opportunity.

Therefore, this matter must be implemented when we prepare all the textbooks, teachers and students. It must be fast, and it must be caught off guard by our sudden attack without reaction. Then we have the chance to win. Otherwise, once they seize the opportunity, we will not be able to do it. Instead of betting without any preparation at this time, it is better to take it slowly. Moreover, I think the most urgent thing is not to accomplish this, but to take advantage of the victory of the military university to solve the problem of the Western Turks."

Suning's words made His Majesty Li Er immediately find the key point. By the way, since the victory of the Northern Expedition of Huxue, the Tang Dynasty has been busy with military universities and has reduced its attention to the Western Turks a lot. Although there are special departments responsible, their own minds are basically in the military universities and do not pay much attention to the Western Turks. This is not good. Only the 3,000 garrisons have not been fully implemented. The garrisons there have been repeatedly requesting to return to their hometowns. If the army does not do it, there will be problems. The Western Turks aristocrats have not fulfilled their requirements for a long time. This is not a good thing.

After Suning said this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly decided the focus of his work in the future...

"What you said is, it's urgent to solve the Western Turks. I have read all the memorandums you gave me. Some of the terms there are very novel. Not only have the Western Turks seen, we have never seen them. Can the things you want to do really be able to do?" His Majesty Li Er's attention was successfully diverted.

Suning was secretly happy and said, "I have never done this matter. At the beginning, I only talked about related things with my master. The specific operation needs to be discussed. However, things that our predecessors have not done before are worth our study and are worth our efforts to do. If we do these things, we may not be inferior to our predecessors. As the saying goes, there are talents in the generations, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. These days are the time for us to lead the way."

His Majesty Li Er shook his eyebrows, obviously appreciating Suning's words very much. Then he said, "It's reasonable that things that our predecessors have not done before are worth our efforts to do. Otherwise, how can we say that the Tang Dynasty is stronger than them? Very good, just do it like this, we have never done these things, only you are the most familiar with them, I will give this matter to you. You are still young, at the age of fifteen, but you are already a talented official.

I don’t treat you as a child, I treat you as a capable minister, you also know how I view you, and you also know how I hope you. Now I give you this opportunity, and you have to show your ability to treat you like this, so that I can feel at ease to hand over the Tang Dynasty to you young people, do you understand?"

Suning was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, it's important. If you leave this matter to me, others will criticize you. After all, I am only fifteen years old and too young. This will not be good."

His Majesty Li Er thought about it for a moment, and felt that it was not appropriate to leave Suning a major matter so blatantly. It was difficult to deal with rumors, so... that's right!

His Majesty Li Er said, "This is it. I will let Keming be fully responsible for this matter. You are Keming's deputy. Since we have no experience in asking this matter, we must do it carefully. Keming is resourceful and must be a good man. Moreover, he just returned to the court and needs great achievements to consolidate his position. Let's do it. I immediately issue an order to hand over this matter to you and Keming, and set up a separate department to you to do it."

Suning was overjoyed: "Thank you Your Majesty to trust, I will do my best to control the Western Turks and make them a whirlwind insect that will come and go when the Tang Dynasty summons! However, it has been several months since the Northern Expedition of the Huxue tribe. I don't know how much this matter has been handled. Please ask Your Majesty to inform you of the specific process."

His Majesty Li Er looked a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Well, you know that during this period, I have focused all my attention on the military university. I pay less attention to this matter. It seems that until now, the original garrison has not yet withdrawn, and the selected 3,000 garrisons have not set off. Others, alas! I will give this matter to you and Keming, just let you do it. If I can do this alone, what use will you do?"

Suning rolled his eyes speechlessly. Damn it was a barely shirking responsibility? Is it a barely irresponsible? Is there such an emperor?

But since that's what I said, I have to do so, Suning has already made plans for this. The Tang Dynasty needs to set up a special external intelligence agency. The so-called intelligence is the first element to winning a war. If you master enough intelligence, you can provide a very important benchmark for victory for the military. The army is absolutely indispensable for war. Imagine that the Tang army is going to attack an enemy city, and at this time there are Tang spies in the enemy city. They can open the city gate at night to welcome the Tang army and win without fighting.

There are countless examples in the history of ancient wars, but no one has systematically formed a special department. This is a big flaw and a major goal of Suning. Now the intelligence agency office dedicated to dealing with the Western Turks is about to be born. Suning feels that even if it cannot be made into the level of the FBI of the United States or the KGB of the former Soviet Union, it must have the level of the Military Control Commission of the Republic of China period, and continue to develop to become an agency dedicated to dealing with foreign enemies.

As for internal issues, with an organization to deal with foreign enemies, His Majesty Li Er will definitely bring the Hundred Cavalry to reality in advance. Originally, the Hundred Cavalry established in the 11th year of Zhenguan would have been established in advance, but Suning will never get involved in this regard. Let His Majesty Li Er do it yourself. The more you know about this kind of thing, the faster you die. I will only deal with the external enemies, and you can do it yourself.

The next day, His Majesty Li Er issued a special department specifically for dealing with Western Turkic affairs, which was directly under the emperor's jurisdiction. The main person in charge was the new Shangshu Youpushe, Duke Cai Duruhui, and the second person in charge was the Marquis of Sanyuan County, and the priest of the Military Advisory University, Sima Suning. As soon as the news came out, the court was in turmoil. However, under the will of His Majesty Li Er and Du Ruhui's full support, the resolution was passed. Wei Zheng, the new Menxia Provincial Office, did not raise any objection.

Regarding this matter, many people raised Suning's dangerous level to a higher level. This external matter should have been handed over to Honglu Temple, but the Honglu Temple Minister did not raise any objections. It was obviously the reason why His Majesty Li Er said hello in advance. Everything was settled. His Majesty Li Er was very happy and ordered a palace to be allocated in the imperial city as the location of the newly established department, and all the manpower and requirements were met. Du Ruhui thanked Tianyou. Suning was unable to enter the palace because he did not have a grade. The emperor sent someone to read the imperial edict to inform him.

Suning has long had a intention to do this special department. China can never have a special external agency. Whether it is Emperor Taizong's Baiqisi, the Jinyiwei Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty, or the blood droplet stick of Emperor Yongzheng's blood droplet stick, they are all internal spy agencies, not external intelligence agencies. This also reflects the Chinese tradition of internal and external fighting against outsiders since ancient times. Suning does not want this tradition to continue. Therefore, in September of the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty's exclusive external intelligence agency, Zonghengsi, was born in the future.
