If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"
<...In fact, any organization in its expansion phase faces a hidden danger: if expansion is too rapid, the quality of personnel may not keep up, thus lowering the overall strength of the team and ultimately leading to its collapse.
Such examples abound in the expansion of companies in later generations.
To restrain the Imperial City Guard, one cannot simply and directly establish a new department, as this would undoubtedly offend the Imperial City Guard, who would think that the Emperor is wary of them.
This would cause unrest among the people. The Imperial City Guard is Zhao Huan's eyes and ears, and it is constantly expanding. If unstable information is passed down at this time, it would undoubtedly be fatal.
Therefore, the department that was meant to hinder the Imperial City Guard was placed under the Censorate, under the guise of supervising civil officials, to restrain the Imperial City Guard.
However, Liu Yanzong is too cunning. He's alright in the capital, where I keep him in check, so he doesn't dare to do anything. But if I give him a garrison that can be deployed to the local areas, things will likely become more complicated.
In this light, I still need to find another person to place in the Censorate as Liu Yanzong's deputy. This deputy will be responsible for restraining the Imperial City Guard, and will become independent when the time is right.
For greater stability, this person, or rather this team, must have a fatal flaw that prevents them from having much of a desire for power and instead focuses on realizing their own personal value.
Deaf and blind people are the perfect candidates!
