Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1877 1878 Department Reform
In Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, the inner courtyard of the Forbidden City was gleaming, and the golden roofs of the palaces sparkled brightly in the sun, like sparkling gems inlaid in the blue sky.

The Imperial Guards were dressed in neat military uniforms and stood at their respective posts with their heads held high. Their postures were like exquisitely carved stone statues, unwavering and fearless, demonstrating the power and confidence of the Tang Dynasty army.

Whenever the breeze blows, the various medals hanging on the chests of the Guards make crisp sounds, as if declaring the power and glory of the royal family.

In the solemn square, the dragon flag symbolizing the supreme authority of the Tang Empire fluttered in the wind. The bright red and gold colors sparkled in the sun, attracting everyone's attention.

As a totem designed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty himself, the image of the dragon occupies a supreme position in the history and culture of the empire. It is not only carved on the beams and pillars of the palace and in the gorgeous murals, but can also be seen everywhere in royal supplies and rituals, always demonstrating the majesty and glory of the royal family, which makes people feel awe, as if the dragon's majesty can sweep away all the haze and protect the peace of this land and its people.

The golden sunlight shines through the tall French windows of the conference room, onto the mahogany conference table, reflecting the exquisite teacups on the table, and reflecting dots of light. Nangong Hong's mood is as bright as the sunshine, and a smile unconsciously appears on the corner of his mouth.

His Majesty the Emperor had realized all his wishes, and the Tang Empire finally unified the world! As the head of foreign affairs, he finally reached the pinnacle of power. He knew that this was not the end, as His Majesty the Emperor had promised that the position of prime minister in the future would be his. Thinking of this, his smile deepened, as if he had already seen himself sitting on the prime minister's throne, pointing out the country and making decisions.

The old Chu Muzhou coughed more and more frequently. In Nangong Hong's opinion, it was just the helpless struggle of an old man. Soon he would step down as the vice chancellor of the empire and retire with all his honors.

Thinking of this, Nangong Hong coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and began today's speech in a light and cheerful tone: "The negotiations in Dorne have been successfully concluded. Earl Dorne will soon take a boat to Linshui like Duke Nanla."

He paused for a moment, and glanced at the ministers present, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Your Majesty, if you really have a hobby of collecting abdicated emperors, then soon, these former emperors of the empire will all kneel before you and pay homage to you."

As soon as the voice fell, a hearty laugh broke out in the conference room, and the ministers echoed one after another, and the atmosphere was relaxed and warm. Tang Mo smiled and waved his hand, responding: "No, of course I don't have that kind of weird hobby."

He was recently busy with the reorganization of the empire's structure, and many of the past departments no longer adapted to the new situation. He looked out the window, his eyes deep and his mind full of thoughts.

He first thought of the diplomatic system. Now that the Tang Empire has unified the world, the role of diplomacy has almost disappeared. The diplomatic system led by Nangong Hong and Jiang Run is also about to face a huge change. Then, he thought of the customs system responsible for imports and exports. Under the new situation of the unification of the empire, the customs system also needs to undergo large-scale reforms to adapt to new needs.

The Tang Empire certainly no longer needs to export things like this, it has already controlled everything in this world, so things like customs are no longer necessary. Maybe it will still exist for a while, serving the trade of various regions, but its nature is completely different, and the things it governs have nothing to do with the past.

The power of some departments will inevitably be reduced, while the power of others will continue to expand as the empire expands. The image of the Ministry of Internal Affairs emerged in his mind. In the absence of foreign affairs, the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has expanded to an alarming degree. At the same time, the military is also worried about its own future. Does the unification of the empire mean a reduction in the size of the army? Will the military technology of the Tang Empire stagnate due to the lack of external competition? These are major issues involving the interests of the military-industrial complex and the military. If one is not handled properly, it may cause great turmoil. This made him feel a little pressure. He knew that he had to handle these issues carefully to ensure the stability and prosperity of the empire.

Tang Mo's brain was working rapidly, like precise gears meshing together, trying to build a huge and stable empire framework. He knew very well that this new huge empire was like a newborn baby, fragile but full of infinite possibilities.

He had to formulate a set of effective rules for it to ensure that it could grow healthily and continue, and maintain stable operation and even prosper, at least in the next few hundred years that he could foresee.

This set of rules must be delicate, balanced, and take into account all aspects of the empire. He must be like an acrobat walking on a tightrope, carefully maintaining a balance between ensuring the stability of the empire and promoting its development.

First of all, he had to take care of the interests of each department. The various departments of the empire were like the various organs of the human body, and none of them could be missing. He needed to redistribute resources and power to satisfy each department as much as possible, so that they would all gather around the royal family, become the most staunch supporters of the royal family, and protect the royal family's authority and status.

He knew that with his current prestige and power, he could do almost anything he wanted. Even if he announced the disbanding of the army, no one would dare to openly oppose it. However, he could not only focus on the present, he had to consider his descendants and plan for the eternal existence of the Tang Dynasty, even if this eternal existence was just an illusory wish.

Every emperor has this mission, even though history has proven countless times that such efforts are mostly in vain. No dynasty can last forever, and no imperial power can be truly eternal. Tang Mo knows this very well, but he still wants to try his best.

He knew that if he wanted to prolong the rule of the Tang Dynasty, he had to learn to give up power. Perhaps constitutional monarchy was a good choice, which would reduce the number of people who wanted to overthrow the royal family.

However, giving up power itself means risk, which means that he must give up some of the power in his hands. At this moment when he is at the peak of his career, such a choice is undoubtedly stupid in the eyes of outsiders. Tang Mo certainly will not give up the power in his hands immediately, but he must prepare for the possibility that his descendants may not be able to keep the power.

He had to find a delicate balance between centralization and decentralization, ensuring the authority of the royal family while satisfying other forces, thus maintaining the long-term stability of the empire.

In short, the entire reform process must be carried out with great caution and step by step. He cannot do whatever he wants and must take into account the interests and influences of all parties.

Judging from the current personnel structure of the court, most of the ministers are absolute monarchists who are loyal to the royal family. It is almost impossible for them to question Tang Mo's decisions. This means that it is difficult for him to hear different voices and get objective opinions. This makes him feel that the burden on his shoulders is heavier, and the road to reform is more challenging. Judging from the current personnel structure of the court, it is actually a bit too much to expect a group of 100% monarchists to question Tang Mo.
