When Cui Zhang heard Zheng Qi's words, he felt a little funny: "We underestimated him from the beginning, he has never been a simple person, think about it, since he appeared, which thing was within our expectations?" The labor reform policy is basically his talisman now, once something is related to labor reconstruction, it can be passed immediately, the pursuit of labor reform in the court is beyond our imagination, officials and people everywhere also have the same idea, whoever wants to oppose it, can be torn to pieces immediately, in this case, what is he afraid of? ”

Wang Yue, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, frowned and said: "But the scholars of the world, whether they are the children of the Han family or the sons of our families, basically learn the words of the sages, grow up reading Confucian classics, have solid knowledge, and are deeply rooted, why do they have no objection to the public revival of the Zongheng family, but support it like that?" So that there are very few opponents? ”

Cui Zhang thought for a while and said: "I can only say that our education is not enough, and it has not yet reached the point of Dong Zhongshu, and there is the support of the emperor, the emperor supports the Zongheng family, so the Zongheng family has been revived, just like when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty supported my Confucianism, with the support of the royal family is the most important, a considerable part of the courtiers still follow the royal family, and there are only a few who follow us after all."

This time the revival of the Zongheng family is a clear proof, what I am most worried about is that the emperor has tasted the sweetness from the inside, and from then on he will spare no effort to search for the descendants of other sons and hundreds of schools, support them against us, and re-create a situation where a hundred schools of thought contend, Li Shimin is different from other emperors, he is not a peaceful lord in his bones, let alone have a deep grudge with us. He will not let go of any opportunity to help him turn the tables.

And if the school that can confront my Confucianism when a hundred schools of thought contended reappears in the world, it will also be a great impact on the world, they will be curious, curious about the grand occasion of the original hundred schools of thought, and will also look forward to the situation of the hundred schools of thought and Confucianism again. For example, Legalism. We have never been able to completely eliminate the Legalists, and once the Legalists are revived, it will be terrifying! ”

Lu Li said: "In any case, the hundred schools have been deposed. Even if Suning is pedantic. Learn about the hundreds of schools of thought. There are no students, no inheritance, just him. It still can't be done, the establishment of the Zongheng Division is to deal with the Western Turks, so what reason do the other hundred families use to revive? And the hope of the revival of the hundred schools of thought is completely tied to Suning alone, if he dies, how can the hundred schools be revived?

So in my opinion, I might as well follow the example of the sage to punish the young and upright, and punish him! As soon as he dies, there is no way to talk about the revival of the hundred schools, there is no inheritance, there are not so many schools in my Confucianism, and the revival of the hundred schools is just a bubble after all! In this way, I can also avenge my third brother's young grandson by the way, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Lu Li's words were agreed by others, but Cui Zhang's brows were tightly furrowed, that letter, the events of that night, Suning's words, scenes reappeared in his mind, regret? What do you regret about it? I haven't understood it all the time, but now I understand a little, Suning is giving himself a dismount, the revival of the military family is just a prelude, if he guesses well, he must have a way to revive the hundred schools of thought!

It's terrible, who is he? Who is his master? There are descendants of the hundred schools of thought, and there are heirs! Definitely, he can't do it alone, he must have helpers, he needs a time, an opportunity, an opportunity for the sons and hundreds of schools to have a reason to return to the world, and the soldiers have succeeded before, and now the Zongheng family has come out again, what is next? Taoism, Legalism or Yin-Yang Magic?

Cui Zhang had a bad premonition in his heart, he was thinking about whether to tell Suning about sending the letter, but after thinking about it, he vetoed this idea, these people are good at dealing with other schools, and they are not ambiguous about dealing with their own people, if they let them know that they and Suning "fornication", they will definitely have other thoughts, and once Suning is in trouble, Cui's is the most dangerous, however, Cui's two branches, and one Boling Cui's can be used as help.

Similarly, the Li family also has two branches, one is the Li family of Longxi, and the other is the Li family of Zhaojun, these two Li families are the strength of the Li family's imperial dynasty, and the strength of the Li family dynasty is not weak, Cui Zhang now doubts whether Suning's Wuyi Su clan is only like this on the surface? Or is it a smoke bomb deliberately released by the Su family, will this Su family be the base camp of the descendants of the hundred families?

Thinking about it, Cui Zhang can't get an accurate conclusion, he can only think about not acting rashly for the time being, wait and see what happens, and act rashly when the enemy situation is unknown, in case Suning's move is just a smoke bomb, the real purpose is to lure the snake out of the hole, then it will be suffered, the effect of the birth of the Zongheng family is very huge, and many people have a good impression of the rebirth of the Zongheng family, so that they have great hopes, and now they can also be an official if they join the Zongheng family, Those poor scholars who don't like Confucianism and have no way out will definitely chase after Zonghengjia.

In the end, several Confucian bigwigs still decided to wait and see what happened, although Lu Li wanted to kill Suning and Xue Rengui immediately, but several other families were unanimously opposed, and the Confucian giants were united in their interests and interests, and the rest of the families had no good fruit to eat, so they couldn't act rashly.

In the future, they will definitely regret it, the Zongheng family just reappeared when it was the weakest, at this time did not make a shot to the Zongheng family to deal a fatal blow, and when the Zongheng Division was fully established and gained a firm foothold, there was no chance, and the Zongheng Division, which had mastered Datang's foreign affairs and foreign spy intelligence, would become a department that Datang could not give up, and Honglu Temple had become a state guesthouse, and the Zongheng family had found its correct positioning.

And at that time, Confucianism wanted to do it, and it was too late.

Suning didn't know that the gathering of the Confucian bigwigs had just passed a decision that was very beneficial to him, he only knew that the Daoist seized all the time to get the Zongheng Division up, and then quickly gained a firm foothold and was invincible, as Suning expected, at this time Confucianism was far from being monolithic, not to mention how much rejection there were for the hundred schools of thought, and the original measure to depose the hundred schools was to let the Confucian people be officials, and the rest of the hundred schools could not be officials. And now that the royal family has opened the way for the heirs of the Zongheng family to become officials, those children of the poor family who don't like Confucianism are naturally ecstatic and come to Zonghengji.

As long as you can be an official, what school of thought does it matter?

Thanks to Datang, thanks to Li Er, and thanks to this era......

Ten days after the announcement of the establishment of the Division was posted, more than 20,000 people came to the Division to apply for jobs, an average of 2,000 a day. The success of the military university has given the people a good sense of goodness. The imperial court really wants to give people of different schools the same opportunity, the previous military family was like this, and now the Zongheng family, which has disappeared for a long time, has been reborn and can also be an official.

They didn't like Confucianism in the first place. That being the case. As long as you can be an official. What does it matter what you learn? They are all officials, they are all meritorious to the Tang Dynasty, and they are all glorious lintels. Of course, the so-called priority of the homeless and homeless with both parents in the Zongheng Division is prohibitive for many people, which is the meaning of no worries, is the work of the Zongheng Division very dangerous?

However, the desire to be an official crushed the fear, as long as you can be an official, it is no big deal, the Zongheng family is the Zongheng family, there are too many parents who have died, and there are too many homeless people, a large number of literate bachelors rushed to the Zhuzaku Gate Street, the registration point of the Zongheng Division, and for a while, the entire Suzaku Street once again showed the grand occasion of the original military university, of course, this time there were not so many people, because the Zongheng Division finally recruited only 500 people as officials, and they also had to learn the art of Zongheng.

It doesn't matter if you learn the vertical and horizontal arts, what are the selection exams for the key vertical and horizontal divisions? The people who signed up are basically literate, and there are also illiterate but more flexible, and Suning has set many standards, because there are also many different departments in the vertical and horizontal division, such as vertical and horizontal negotiation experts who are specifically responsible for negotiations, diplomats who are stationed in other countries in an upright manner, diplomatic embassy military attachés who are specially responsible for protecting diplomats and spying on intelligence, and spy organizations that are secretly stationed in various countries to live and transmit intelligence.

The requirements here are not the same, for example, the negotiators want to be thick-skinned and black-eyed, specifically looking for other people's loopholes to drill, where there are benefits, where to run, when negotiating, we must try our best to seize all the advantages and strive to maximize the benefits, give up the so-called Confucian etiquette, we are a vertical and horizontal family, not Confucianism!

The task of the diplomat is more important, Suning has reported to Du Ruhui, and asked Du Ruhui to forward it to His Majesty Li Er, and in the future, he will set up embassies in various vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the official representative of the Tang Dynasty, to supervise the actions of the vassal states at all times, and turn the nominal vassal states into actual control areas, and the main person in charge of the embassy is the ambassador of the Tang Dynasty to a certain country, which will be served by outstanding diplomats of the vertical and horizontal division, and the military attache is also very important, that is responsible for protecting the embassy, protecting all secrets, and secretly conveying top-secret information, not the military is better than the military, and it will also be served by outstanding diplomats of the vertical and horizontal division.

As for the spy organization, that is the core of the Vertical and Horizontal Division, the diplomat is shown to others on the surface, the espionage organization is the real core, the real Vertical and Horizontal Division, the task of the spy organization is the core of the entire Vertical and Horizontal Division, they will give up their original identity, and integrate into the country they want to go to with a new identity, where to become a local, stationed there for a long time, and I don't know when Lu Dao will come back.

The requirements are very high, very, very high, in order to show the importance and elite nature of this spy organization, Suning named it - Blood Drops, and the number of the first batch of Blood Drops was three hundred.

The task is important, the danger is high, and it is not known, the destined behind-the-scenes heroes, Datang's most confidential documents will have their true identities, but in addition, only the emperor and the three members of the Zongheng Shilang can know their true identities, the bitterness and danger in this is not enough for outsiders, and it is not enough for the people of the world, maybe a long, long time later, Datang has reached the time when this part of the top-secret information can be disclosed, and these unsung heroes will be known, At that time, the citizens of Datang could know that a long, long time ago, there was such a group of unsung heroes, and what kind of price they paid for their current lives......

But because of such high requirements, Suning doesn't know if Lu Dao can find the right three hundred people from these 20,000 people, this is too difficult, when recruiting, as long as you see those who know martial arts, literacy, sturdy, flexible, steady, all recruited, the best 3,000 people were recruited in a short period of time, and it is very important to select 500 qualified officials from these 3,000 people.

In order to ensure confidentiality, Suning set up the selection and examination location of the Zongheng Division at the assembly point that could carry 10,000 people during the military university examination, and after the preliminary screening, it will be transferred to the original headquarters cabin, because it still needs to be used there, so it has not been dismantled, and there are even military patrols and guards, which can be used.

On October 6, the fifth year of Datang Zhenguan, the first selection examination of the Zongheng Division began on the outskirts of Chang'an City, which will also indicate that Datang's foreign policy has entered a new era. (To be continued......)
