I can see how subterfuge might give you some political leverage, but I would not want an spy, however good, to rival an ex-Consul who is a conqueror etc. I suspect Upper House senators won't accumulate that much influence anyway, so it should balance out.

On another matter, I don't use spies much, but I know it can be a risky business if they are used aggressively (the kind of thing that gives subterfuge). Maybe people controlling spies should give some instruction to the First Consul (via PM) about how aggressive or not they want their spies to be.
