Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 229 The Prestige of the Patriarch of the Cui Family
[Actually, this kind of compilation of clan chronicles is nothing more than a disgusting goal, but it is also a statement of attitude. 】

[Let the aristocratic family understand that the era of their dominance has passed, and now the Guanlongmen clan is the core of the gentry system, replacing them is just a matter of our family. 】

[To put it bluntly, it is to use political power to rearrange the order of the gentry since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so that the gentry understand that if the emperor nods, you are an aristocratic family, and if the emperor shakes his head, you are the same lowly category as the poor family! 】

[When the time comes, the gentry in the world will be directly divided into three, six or nine classes. For example, the Boling Cui family, which was originally ranked first, will be directly reduced to the third class, hahaha...]

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Fu's imagination, and almost laughed out loud following Li Fu's inner voice.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Changsun Wuji was very helpless, especially when he saw that Li Shimin was distracted and laughed at this moment, he was even more helpless, so he could only ask again.

"Well, ah, I, I'm fine, you continue to talk!" Li Shimin still wanted to hear what Li Fu would say next.

But at this time, Changsun Wuji could see that Li Shimin was not thinking about him at all, so he could only cup his hands and say: "I am ashamed, I only thought of these things, please make a decision, Your Majesty."

"Ah? That's the end." Li Shimin finally came to his senses, waved his hands and said, "Auxiliary machine, what you said doesn't work at all, it's all commonplace stuff, and many of them didn't make sense, so it's not satisfactory!"

Li Shimin was merciless, rejected Changsun Wuji's suggestion, and then looked directly at Li Fu, "Prince, you have been listening for so long, have you thought of any good ideas?"

Li Shimin is now giving Li Fu a chance, and wants him to tell Changsun Wuji his thoughts on the clan annals.

But Li Fu was not fooled, he knew very well that once he uttered his thoughts on the clan annals, he would never be able to survive again.

Even if he asked Kong Yingda and others to help him with the Zhenguan dictionary, he was still annoyed every day. If he edited the clan records again, he would not be allowed to sleep!

So Li Fu directly pretended to say: "Father, my son is dull, and I didn't think of any good ideas. Why don't you brainstorm and invite all the princes to enter the court, maybe you can hear some good ideas."

Li Fu directly played Tai Chi for Li Shimin. Li Shimin was slightly disappointed when he heard the words, but he didn't take it seriously. Please enter the palace.

"I'm going to compile a "Clan Records." Li Shimin didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point once all the people arrived.

"Ah?" What Li Shimin said made Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all look confused.

Especially Changsun Wuji, he didn't even know what Li Shimin was thinking, what clan records, what did he want to do?
Afterwards, Li Shimin told Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others about the content of the clan chronicle, as well as the thoughts he had inferred from Li Fu.

After Li Shimin's introduction, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others stared wider and wider, then were dumbfounded, and finally clapped their hands and applauded.

"Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed necessary to re-write this clan chronicle!"

"In this way, just compiling a clan annals can severely suppress the Shandong gentry!"

"Yes, it's just that the candidate for this revision needs to be carefully considered. I wonder if His Majesty has a suitable candidate?"

Then Li Shimin told the four people Li Fu mentioned, and the eyes of Fang Xuanling and others suddenly became brighter.

"Your Majesty is wise, Gao Shilian and others are indeed the best candidates to compile the clan records."

Everyone has the same purpose, and they all support Li Shimin's compilation of the clan annals. After all, if this matter is done well, the Guanlong nobles will surely stabilize the Shandong family with momentum.

This can have an unimaginable effect on increasing the position of the Guanlongmen faction.

Changsun Wuji admired deeply: "It turns out that His Majesty has already made up his mind, which is indeed countless times better than the old man's previous opinion. No wonder His Majesty despises the old minister's trivial tricks."

"Okay, since there is no objection, then it's settled. Immediately pass Gao Shilian and others into the palace to have an audience." Li Shimin can't wait to get the clan records done, and he doesn't like Changsun Wuji's rainbow fart. .

After Gao Shilian and others entered the palace, Li Shimin told several people what happened.

As a result, under the auspices of Gao Shilian and other four people, the Datang Clan Chronicle officially started the compilation process.

The compilation process was very fast, and within half a month, the first draft was placed on Li Shimin's dragon case.

After another half month, the manuscript named "The Clan Chronicles of the Tang Clan" was finalized.

Then Li Shimin directly promulgated the Datang Clan Chronicle at the court meeting.

Of course, he didn't want to listen to the opinions of all parties, but just to inform the courtiers that the Datang Clan Chronicle has been compiled, and everyone can see this Datang Clan Chronicle through various channels.

Now this Tang Clan Chronicle is sold in every bookstore except the Royal Bookstore, so everyone in the world is shocked.

Of course, many of them were surprises, but there were also shocks. For example, the Guanlong clan was mostly surprises, but the old Shandong clan and other aristocratic families were all shocked.

They never expected that the emperor would dare to do such a thing. In this way, they openly trampled on the dignity of their aristocratic family, and even slapped them across the face one after another.

Originally, the Li family in Longxi planned to unite with the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe and other five surnames, Qiwang, to put pressure on Li Shimin.

But before they could make a move, Li Shimin gave them a blow to the head and knocked them dizzy.

The appearance of the clan chronicles gave a profound warning to all the old aristocratic families with five surnames and seven surnames. Everyone knew that the world of Tang Dynasty was really changing.

The Cui family of Boling, the largest family in Shandong, is now full of noise in the quiet house in the past.

"Patriarch, this matter is absolutely unbearable. Today, we are too disrespectful, and I, Boling Cui, have been downgraded to the third class. Why?"

"That's right, it's ridiculous. The entire Tang Dynasty should be headed by the Shandong family, and the Shandong family should be headed by my Boling Cui family. This is an iron law for thousands of years. How can he change it at will! "

"The imperial court doesn't take us seriously, and we don't need to take them seriously, Patriarch, what can you say?"

In the Cui family's mansion, Cui Daozhen, the contemporary Patriarch of the Cui family, who sat at the top, glanced at the people present. The house, which was still extremely noisy just now, was suddenly dead silent.

This is the prestige of the Patriarch of the Cui family...
