Li Shimin could no longer hold back his desire to express himself. He wanted to tell his first wife everything he heard and understood.
After Empress Zhangsun heard about it, she also understood that this was a completely different path from the past.
After all, it wasn't complicated at all.
It was just a matter of "benefiting the country and the people" to cultivate the people in the world.
The key was the truth of the mortal world.
If everyone took it as their duty to study the truth of the mortal world and benefit the country and the people, the world would definitely rise.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Empress Zhangsun congratulated again.
"Hahaha." Li Shimin was obviously in a good mood and waved his hand. "Guanyin will be famous with me for generations to come."
At this moment, Fang Xuanling and the other two arrived.
Li Shimin was even happier to see them.
He even went up to Fang Xuanling, took her wrist, and came to the side where the three of them were seated.
"Today, the Fairy has given us the method, and the Tang Empire will usher in an unprecedented change. Do you have any suggestions for me?"
This was actually a question.
Although the Fairy had pointed out a path and even gave them the method to reduce the time they needed to advance on this path, the specific method still needed to be determined by these civil officials.
Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other.
In the end, it was Fang Xuanling who spoke.
"Your Majesty, the main point of Fairy's words is to guide the people's self-awareness. This should be the foundation of their ideology. It is not something that can be done in a day. It also requires generations of effort. Your Majesty can start with the reform of the imperial court system.
"That's right." Li Shimin nodded.
It seemed that this was indeed the first step. After all, the Fairy Clove had emphasized from the beginning that if one's virtue didn't match the position, there would be disaster.
However, when Li Shimin began to think carefully about the method of forming the pavilion …
Suddenly, he fell silent.
Not only him, but Fang Xuanling and the other three were also silent.
Ideology was the core, and ideology determined the system and the development of the entire Tang Empire. In other words … this "pavilion" would have the right to decide the direction and system of the development of the entire Tang Empire.
Then what was the status of the emperor?
After the initial excitement passed, Li Shimin also finally realized.
The great path that the Fairy talked about was to lead the progress of the entire Tang Empire with constantly changing ideology and theory. But in the past, this was the responsibility of the emperor.
A wise emperor could bring prosperity, but if he didn't, the people would suffer and the world would be in chaos.
But now.
The true Great Dao was not to rule the world with the emperor, but to rule the world with ideology and doctrine!
Sensing the change in Li Shimin's mood, Fang Xuanling and the others lowered their heads.
In fact, in their hearts.
He also understood that the fairy was talking about the true Great Dao.
After all, some emperors were wise, and some were muddle-headed. Most of the imperial courts in the past were founded by wise emperors, and then destroyed by muddle-headed ones.
However, the Great Dao that the fairy spoke of removed the emperor from the responsibility of leading the development of the dynasty and replaced it with ideas and doctrines that were constantly changing and perfecting with the development of the times. In this way, as long as the core ideas were changing in the general direction of "benefiting the country and the people", the imperial court would certainly grow stronger and stronger.
Li Shimin was not stupid. At first, he was just too excited, but at this time, he gradually began to react.
Shen Yi also looked at him.
Truth be told, unless one could live forever, it would be difficult to find a role in the system for the Emperor. Even if there was, the power and role would not be too great, since a system that concentrated power on an individual would naturally have a huge flaw in a civilization where individuals only lived for decades.
Of course, as long as Li Shimin did not drag others down, he could maintain his reputation, status, and wealth.
He could even be a little smarter.
He could also leave himself a "regulatory power" or "military power" and so on.
However, even the military power and regulatory power could not be retained for a long time. This was to prevent a less intelligent emperor from vainly trying to use these two rights to indirectly obtain other rights, including ideology and doctrines.
In short.
According to Clove's direction, the imperial power would definitely be reduced.
And Li Shimin was indeed silent for a long time, so long that even Fang Xuanling and the others had sweat on their foreheads.
However, no one dared to speak.
And in the end.
Finally, Li Shimin spoke.
There was a smile on his face.
"My achievements will inevitably be unprecedented, and there will be no one to surpass me in the future." He especially emphasized the words "no one to surpass me in the future."
Fang Xuanling and the others suddenly raised their heads.
They saw that the smile on Li Shimin's face was very happy, and it was not a forced smile at all, but a sincere smile.
Shen Yi also smiled.
The reform of the system would have the greatest impact on the future emperors. No matter how much the status of the future emperors was reduced to, it would not affect the achievements of Li Shimin, the emperor of reform.
"Your Majesty, in addition to forming the cabinet, we also need to gather the people who have been taught by the Fairy and let them select students to teach the truth of the world, so that the people in the world can benefit as soon as possible …" Fang Xuanling directly told the strategy he had conceived.
The other two also added.
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
Shen Yi was very clear that so far, the central power was already on the right track.
Then the next thing was the aristocratic families.
Shen Yi then turned his eyes to the aristocratic families.
It had to be said that the aristocratic families reacted faster.
Almost at the same time, some of the people who had been taught by Clove, together with their families, were invited to the mansions of the aristocratic families in Chang 'an City and respectfully given a lot of treasures, houses, maids, and so on.
They kept subduing their hearts.
Obviously, they also realized that the power and status in the Tang Empire would gradually shift to the ideologues and the people who studied the truth of the world.
The monopoly advantage that the aristocratic families once had would disappear.
Almost instinctively, they wanted to grasp the new power.
The first step.
It was to let the people who had been taught by the Fairy pass on the knowledge they had learned from the Fairy to their families.
After all, the Fairy had said that they could not hide it.
But the emperor's order was obviously a step slower.
When the officials in the palace in charge of recruiting these people came to these people's homes, they were already gone. When they asked again, they were all recruited by the aristocratic families. When the officials wanted to go to these aristocratic families to recruit these people, they were directly stopped for various reasons, and a considerable number of people were even unwilling to go.
They enjoyed unprecedented treatment in the aristocratic families.
They were respected and had a lot of students who were respectful to them. They could complete the teaching mission given by the Fairy.
