The next morning, Suning got up early, changed into a white robe, Suning dressed himself up as a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, and came to the room where Qi Bei was under house arrest.

It seems that a night's rest has strengthened his determination, sorted out his thoughts, and spoke very quickly and clearly, Suning quickly knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, secretly surprised in his heart, and began to rejoice in his own approach, fortunately he knew everything in advance, otherwise he would definitely be swept to pieces if he came step by step, and he was far from being the opponent of those people at present, without the emperor charging in front, where was their opponent?

It's a bit early to write that letter now, but although their strength is incredibly strong, they don't have military power, and without military power, they can't threaten the emperor's right to rule, at most they can make some efforts in political power, but in this way, without full preparation and absolute strength, Suning himself is not sure that he can defeat these people with one blow, and for them, attacking in batches is ineffective.

Sure enough, if these families were so easy to deal with, His Majesty Li Er should have taken hundreds of thousands of troops to Shandong to sweep them away, but His Majesty Li Er did not do this, that is to say, this is not something that can be done by force, he does not have that kind of background now, and the people in the entire camp under Li Er Majesty do not have that kind of background, and even marry them in exchange for fame and status.

It's better to take a break. Only in the case of dominance can a winning blow be launched, and at present, it is not an exaggeration to say that the advantage is still occupied by the great family, and there is no advantage, let alone anything else, so it is imperative to establish the staff headquarters as soon as possible to separate the court from the army, and spend a few years to complete the important task of separating the military from the government, and then improve the printing and papermaking technology to cope with the cultural advantages of the family, after all are completed. to be able to do it.

And this preparation time. It is the time left for his own growth, during this time, he can no longer do any big things, but he must be obscure. Write a book and speak. Lay a solid foundation for future actions. The strength of the Su family will be expanded again, and the alliance will be more stable, when the time comes. can be invincible, even if the emperor can't defeat the family, he can't be defeated.

After learning everything from Qi Bei, Suning had already set a plan for his future actions in his brain, and then returned to the office, said hello to Li Jing, and asked Li Jing to take a good look at Qi Bei, and then try to send his parents away, and then monitor another thief, and wait until the emperor's order is issued, and then arrest and behead, in addition, for the promise of Qi Bei, Suning also ordered to go down and prepare to implement, and will definitely not break his promise.

Qi Bei can also smile at Jiuquan, but his brothers are really sad, not only because of Qi Bei, but also because of that person......

Suning came to the palace and saw His Majesty Li Er without hindrance, and His Majesty Li Er retreated from everyone and asked, "Are the things all dealt with?" The case is solved? ”

Suning nodded and said: "If you go back to Your Majesty, this case has been solved, the perpetrator of the crime has been controlled, the other suspect has been monitored, and Qi Bei has already confessed everything he knows. ”

Li Erma nodded, Zhao Chen walked over, took the thick stack of paper in Suning's hand, flipped through it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you did a good job, you didn't disappoint me, after this case is solved, you can do a lot of things, and the military university will be much safer, you have made great contributions, say, what do you want, as long as I can give it, I will definitely satisfy you!" ”

Suning said: "The minister hopes that His Majesty will agree to three things for the minister. ”

Li Er asked, "What are the three things?" ”

Suning said: "First, it is a deal made by the minister and Qi Bei, Qi Bei's family has not known all traces of Qi Bei for three years, so they don't know anything about this matter, Qi Bei's crime was originally a crime of rebellion, according to the law, Qi Bei's family should sit together, but in view of his family's ignorance, and what the minister promised, the minister hopes that His Majesty will pardon Qi Bei's family."

In addition, the minister will help the Qi Beizhi family to break away from the control of the Qinghe Cui clan, and include it in the Western Turkic Chamber of Commerce to protect it, and for the true cause of Qi Bei's death, the minister does not intend to tell the Qi Beizhi family, nor does he want to announce it to the public, but to announce it to the public because he unfortunately died while performing a secret mission, so as to preserve his reputation in the military university, and also prevent mutual suspicion among the students of the military university. ”

Li Er thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is also human nature, since he told you everything he knows, even if he has atoned for his sins, he will agree to this request, I will allow it, what about the second thing?" ”

Suning said: "Your Majesty! This second thing is to hope that His Majesty can lend the history books of the previous dynasties in the palace to the minister to read, after this case is handled, whether it is the military university, or the minister himself, it will have nothing to do with the next thing, that is the government affairs, not military affairs, the minister can not intervene, so the minister intends to use some time in the future, until the minister and the crown, you can calm down to read, self-cultivation, and achieve the expectations of Your Majesty. ”

Li Er's majesty asked with interest: "The idea is good, and the work is also very good, but I am very strange, why do you want a history book alone?" If you talk about self-cultivation, it is also good to read Confucian books and Taoist books, why do you need history books alone? ”

Suning replied: "Back to His Majesty, the minister thinks that from the history books of the past dynasties, the minister can see the various experiences and behaviors of the ancestors, as well as their attitudes and methods of doing things, as well as the most difficult results, the master has warned the minister, the cycle of cause and effect, what kind of cause will be planted, what kind of fruit will be obtained, the minister wants to have a comprehensive understanding, what kind of cause will be planted, and what kind of effect will be obtained, these truths, can only be seen from the history books." ”

Li Er's majesty frowned, and his tone eased down: "What you said is not bad." I agreed to your request, all the history books in the palace, whether it is the official history or the wild history, can be shown to you, before you are twenty years old and crowned, I will not come back, you look slowly, you still have five years, but you have to be prepared, there are not many five years in a person's life. Five years have passed. There is a good chance that there will not be another five years. ”

Suning leaned over and thanked him, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's words, the minister will keep it in mind; The third thing. The minister has already written a recital. A number of statutes have been prepared. It is the last thing that the minister did for His Majesty before reading and studying, and he asked His Majesty to think twice and walk slowly. Don't be impatient, if this thing is done, it will be an unprecedented achievement, and Your Majesty will definitely be immortalized because of it. ”

His Majesty Li Er was surprised, lowered his head and searched for it in the pile of papers, and after a while, he took out a thick notebook with a few big characters written on the cover--The Regulations for the Establishment of the General Staff Headquarters.

Statute for the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters?

Li Er's majesty was a little puzzled, looked at Suning and asked, "What is this staff headquarters?" What is the purpose of setting it up? You're going to tell me why? Why is this so timeless? Is it more effective than the Military University and the Vertical and Horizontal Division? ”

Suning nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the minister asked His Majesty to set up a military university in order to separate the government from military affairs, but this method is slow to work, although the effect is long-lasting, but at present, Datang is also very needed, just doing this, I am afraid it is difficult to achieve the most difficult goal, so the minister wants to use a more direct way to complete the goal of separating the military and the government, if this move is achieved, His Majesty should also know what benefits Lu Dao will bring to Datang." ”

His Majesty Li Er's complexion changed drastically, and he asked, "Are you saying that this so-called staff headquarters was only set up to complete the important task of separating the military from the government?" With the establishment of this staff headquarters, can this goal be achieved? ”

Suning said: "Whether it can really be achieved, it remains to be investigated, but this is the only way that the minister can think of at present, specifically to give the command of the war to the staff headquarters, all the war is under the staff headquarters scheduling, not in the court, the court is only responsible for handling government affairs, and the civil ministers who do not understand military affairs will no longer participate in the command and dispatch of the war, and the staff headquarters can go to the court, that is, the chief of the staff headquarters and the two deputy chiefs, responsible for reporting on their work, and reporting the war to the whole court, But the imperial court did not have the power to interfere with the staff headquarters.

The staff officer candidates of the staff headquarters are also from the military Chinese job selection, that is, the military division used to be called, but due to the limited conditions, the military division cannot become a permanent position, the minister will change its face to become a staff officer, the staff system can be established for a long time, the minister's idea is to let some civilian people who are deeply familiar with military strategy and are not good at commanding battle formations and are not suitable to be generals put into an army to become military divisions, that is, staff officers, have the power to participate in military aircraft, and the final decision is in the hands of officers, But if the officer does not listen to the advice of the staff officer and leads to defeat, the staff officer is not guilty.

Staff officers start from a small army, for example, from a regiment to set up a staff officer, 200 people must have a staff officer, and the regimental captain, staff officers also have ranks, from the regimental staff officer to the general staff of the army, to a certain level, will be the chief of staff of the army, become the commander's staff officer, to this level, such as the staff officer of the army, can be in charge, can enter the staff headquarters, for the whole army to make suggestions.

That is to say, before entering the General Staff Headquarters, there must be at least five years of military career, and without more than ten years of experience, you cannot become the chief of staff or the deputy chief of the three main positions, when marching, the staff officers must eat and live together with the army, and fight together when necessary, even if they are civilian, they must also have the breath of the army, so that the General Staff Headquarters will be a very capable department, and those corrupt people can be completely excluded from the General Staff Headquarters, so that It is possible to completely control the military power in the hands of the general staff headquarters and the army generals from the law, and the civilian officials no longer have the power to participate in the military aircraft.

In this way, any simple civil servant can not participate in military command, in the event of a war in the future, you can choose a commander-in-chief, and a chief of staff, enter the army for command, the staff headquarters has full authority to plan the war, of course, the battlefield fighter planes are changing rapidly, remote command is a taboo for soldiers, His Majesty has been fighting all his life, and he must also know this truth, so the battlefield general and the chief of staff have the right to formulate tactics according to the real situation, and do not fight in accordance with the formulation of the staff headquarters.

In addition, the minister suggested reforming the functions and powers of the military department, so that the military department would no longer be responsible for military command and army commander, and in the future, the responsibility of the military department should be logistics support and the promotion of officers and soldiers, which is equivalent to being the logistics director, not the army commander. ”

Suning's explanation nodded again and again as Li Erma's words were said, Suning said, Li Erma's lower looked at it and looked at it very carefully, after Suning finished speaking, Li Erma's lower raised his head and said: "I will consider this matter carefully, I will send the book you want to your house soon, I won't let you do anything else during this time, study, study, self-cultivation, I hope that you at the age of twenty will be very different from you at the age of fifteen."
