Li Shimin could no longer suppress his desire to express himself and wanted to tell his first wife everything he had heard and understood.

After hearing this, Empress Changsun also understood that this was a completely different path from the past.

After all, it's not that complicated.

It is just to grasp the point of "benefiting the country and the people" to cultivate people in the world.

The key lies in the ultimate truth of the world.

If everyone takes it as their responsibility to study the ultimate principles of the world and benefit the country and the people, then this world will surely rise steadily.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Empress Chang Sun congratulated again.

"Hahaha." Li Shimin was obviously in a good mood. He raised his hand and waved, "Guanyin will surely be famous for thousands of years with me."

At this moment, Fang Xuanling and three others also arrived.

Li Shimin was even happier when he saw it.

He even went forward in person, held Fang Xuanling's wrist, and came together to the side of the seats reserved for the three of them.

"Today, the fairy has bestowed upon us a magic. Our Great Tang will surely usher in unprecedented changes. Do you have any suggestions for me?"

This is actually asking for advice.

Although the fairy pointed out a great road and even gave a method to shorten the time they spent on traveling this road, the specific method still needed to be determined by these civil officials.

Fang Xuanling and others looked at each other.

Finally, it was Fang Xuanling who spoke:

"Your Majesty, the point of what the fairy said is to guide the people's self. This should be the foundation of thought. It is not a one-day job, but also requires generations of dedication. Your Majesty can start with the reform of the court system and form a cabinet to study ideology and morality, to study the idea of ​​guidance."

"That's right." Li Shimin nodded.

It seems that this is indeed the first step. After all, Fairy Lilac has emphasized from the beginning that if one's virtue is not worthy of his position, disaster will surely follow.

However, when Li Shimin began to think carefully about how to form a cabinet.

Suddenly there was silence.

Not only him, Fang Xuanling and the other four were also silent.

Thought is the core. Thought determines the system and also determines the development of the entire Tang Dynasty. In other words, this "cabinet" will have the right to determine the development direction and system of the entire Tang Dynasty.

So what is the status of the emperor? After the initial excitement passed, Li Shimin finally realized it.

The great way that the fairy talked about is to lead the progress of the entire Tang Dynasty with ever-changing thoughts and doctrines. However, in the past, this was the responsibility of the emperor.

A wise and benevolent ruler can bring prosperity to the world, but a wise and benevolent ruler can bring misery to the people and unrest to the world.

But now.

The true way is no longer to rule the world with the emperor, but to rule the world with ideological doctrines! Feeling the change in Li Shimin's mood, Fang Xuanling and others all lowered their heads.

Actually in their hearts.

I also understand that what the fairy said is the true great way.

After all, there are wise emperors and there are incompetent emperors. Most of the dynasties in history began with wise emperors and were destroyed by incompetent emperors.

However, the great principle that the fairy talked about was to separate the emperor from the responsibility of leading the development of the dynasty and replace it with ideological theories that were constantly changing and improving with the development of the times. In this way, as long as the core idea was changing in the general direction of "benefiting the country and the people", the court would inevitably continue to grow stronger.

Li Shimin was not stupid. He was just too excited at first, but at this time, he began to react gradually.

Shen Yi also looked at him.

To be honest, it is difficult to find an institutional role for the profession of emperor unless the emperor can live forever. Even if there is a role, the power and role are unlikely to be too great. After all, a system that concentrates power on individuals naturally has huge flaws in a civilized system where individuals only live for a few decades.

Of course, as long as Li Shimin does not fall behind, he can maintain his fame, status, and wealth.

He can also reserve for himself "supervisory power" or "military power" and so on.

However, even military power and regulatory power could not be retained for long. This was to prevent less intelligent emperors from trying to use these two powers to indirectly obtain other rights, including ideological doctrines and systems.

all in all.

According to what Dingxiang said, the imperial power was definitely reduced.

Li Shimin was indeed silent for a very long time, so long that even Fang Xuanling and others had sweat on their foreheads.

But no one dared to speak.

And in the end.

Finally, Li Shimin spoke.

A smile appeared on his face.

"My achievements will surely be unprecedented and unmatched." He placed special emphasis on the four words "unmatched".

Fang Xuanling and others suddenly raised their heads.

You can see the smile on Li Shimin's face. He looks very happy, and it is not a forced smile at all, but a sincere smile.

Shen Yi also laughed. The reform of the system will have the greatest impact on the emperors of later generations. No matter how much the status of the emperors of later generations is reduced, it will not affect the achievements of Li Shimin, the king of reform.

"Your Majesty, in addition to forming a cabinet, you also need to gather those who have received the magic from the fairies, order them to select students, and teach them the principles of the world so that the people of the world can benefit as soon as possible." Fang Xuanling directly stated the strategy he had conceived.

The other two also added to the discussion.

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.

Shen Yi knew very well that at this point, the central power was already moving on the right track.

Then next, it’s the aristocratic families.

Shen Yi then turned his gaze to the many aristocratic families.

I have to say that people from aristocratic families react faster.

Almost at the same time, those who had received knowledge from Dingxiang, along with their families, were invited to the mansions of the noble officials in Chang'an City and were respectfully given a large amount of treasures, houses, maids, etc.

Continue to win their hearts.

Obviously, they also realized that the power and status in the Tang Dynasty would gradually shift to thinkers and those who studied the ultimate principles of the world.

The monopoly advantages that the aristocratic families once had will be gone.

It was almost instinctive for them to master new powers.

first step.

The purpose is to let those who have received the magic from the fairies pass on the knowledge they got from the fairies to their own family members.

After all, the fairy said that things cannot be kept privately.

The emperor's order was obviously a step slower.

When the officials in the palace who were responsible for recruiting these people arrived at their homes, there was no one there. After further inquiry, they found that all of them had been recruited by aristocratic families. And when they wanted to go to these aristocratic families to recruit these people, they were directly blocked for various reasons. Even quite a number of people were unwilling to go.

Among the aristocratic families, they enjoyed unprecedented treatment.

They are respected and have a bunch of respectful students, which enables them to complete the mission of teaching given by the fairy.
