[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 21 Second St. 16

Even though all the big families made harsh words, Mr. Li was still unmoved, and asked His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to confiscate and destroy all the "Clan Records" that are currently circulating in the market, and to set up a new "Xianqing Surname Record", stipulating that all records should be recorded. The clans in the "Surname Records" must belong to the clans belonging to officials of the fifth rank or higher in the dynasty.Among them, according to the old practice of Zhenguan, important foreign relatives such as Tianhou Bingzhou Wu, Xianfei Huzhou Xu, Jingzhao Wei, and Changping Yan are all listed as first-class families, such as Li Ji, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Xu Yushi and others. All of their families were promoted to the second-class aristocratic family, and the rest of the official families above the third rank were either second-class or third-class, and so on.According to Li Sanlang's conversion method for the entry of clans into the "Record of Surnames", only the Xinsi families of civil and military officials above the fifth rank (including the fifth rank) can be shortlisted, which means that the surnames and families in the newly revised "Record of Surnames" will be more than the original ones. The ones included in the "Clan History" have been reduced by at least half.What's more terrible is that with Li Sanlang's method of including clans, many of the previous first- and second-class big families would face the dilemma of being kicked out of the "Surname Record" if no one was in the court and held a high position.For this item alone, the once-prominent century-old families such as the Hedongliu family of the uncle's family and the Lanling Xiao family of the abolished imperial concubine's mother were ruthlessly thrown out of the "Record of Surnames", and there were also Taiyuan Wang's and Boling's family members. The Cui family, the Zhaojun Li family, and the Xingyang Zheng family were all aristocratic families who were downgraded because their children's official positions in the court were not prominent...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was overjoyed to see a large number of established families being eliminated or downgraded. He immediately wrote a preface to "Surname Records" in person, specified the categories in detail, and selected some special cases.Among them, the Boling Cui family should have been relegated, but His Majesty Li Xiaojiu thought of the hard-core imperial party Cui Dunli who had been silently supporting him back then, so he waved his hand and left the Cui family as a first-class family.The Wang family in Taiyuan should have been reduced to the bottom because of a deposed queen, but its side branch Wang Fangyi made great military achievements in this battle against Japan. Fifth class family.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu did not check the rankings of the other families and clans one by one, so he asked Zhongshu Ling Li Yifu, Shi Zhong Xu Jingzong, Minister of Rites Kong Zhiyue, Zhuo Lang Yang Renqing, Prince Xima Shi Yuandao, Taichang Cheng Lu Cai And the scholars of Chongwenguan jointly discussed and decided to do it.

For a while, all the nobles and nobles in the city of Chang'an ran to surround the Chongwen Hall every day as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.Chongwen Museum is a quiet place, it is as lively as a vegetable market every day, and you can also see some aristocratic families performing martial arts every day for the ranking...

Under the strong promotion of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, the revision of "Surname Records" was gradually understood and accepted by the middle and lower classes of the Tang Dynasty.In addition, due to the inclusion regulations of "Surname Records", officials, regardless of whether they are civil or military, can occupy a place in "Surname Records" as long as their rank exceeds the fifth rank.Therefore, even an ordinary sergeant who was born in a grassroots family and the N generations of his family are all poor peasants, as long as he has outstanding military exploits and has passed the fifth rank, he can still be included. The unanimous support of the generals and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!

This is a windfall!

Of course, for those veteran families who have been in high positions for a long time, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's move is simply digging out their roots. Even if His Majesty Li Er suppressed the Shandong wealthy family many times, he would not dare to go so far!

These people wanted to make a fuss, but there was no one in the court, so they made a fuss!

Of course, there are also people who want to follow the path of the Cui family, but the Cui family has not downgraded themselves, how can they have so much time to care about others ╮(╯_╰)╭

Besides, there was no one in the Boling Cui family in the first place. If it weren't for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's nostalgia for the past, he should be placed in the ranks of demotion now. It's too late to make a fortune now. !

And the Qinghe Cui family has Cui Yixuan, a hardcore imperial party, so of course there is no need to worry, and Cui Yixuan, an old fox, knew that those aristocratic families would definitely come to him, so he expressed his position to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu at the place where he was editing the "Surname Record" and did not participate in the ranking. work, and offered to be transferred to Luozhou to work, he had already slapped his ass and slipped away by now.

Only then did the aristocratic families who felt that they had nowhere to turn to find out that the saying 'there are people in the court who are easy to handle' is really true!

It's a pity they woke up too late!

Compared with the bustling scene of the revision of "Surname Records", the implementation of the 'Marriage Prohibition Order' did not have a very strong response.

Except for the fact that the major families gritted their teeth and said that they would not marry Mr. Li, after that, there were no more remarks.

Wu Xu was rather surprised. She always believed that these noble families had always raised daughters to marry other noble families. Now that they are not allowed to 'join forces', why is there no movement at all?

"Ah Wu, do you think this is a compromise?" Li Xiaojiu explained to Wu Xu with a smile, "In my opinion, he would rather let his little lady never marry than marry him with his surname as we wish. , so as not to lower my own status..."

Wu Xu: "..." Isn't this creating a large number of leftover women in disguise?

This is not conducive to the stability and harmony of the empire!

"Could it be that there is no way to subdue them?" Wu Xu couldn't help asking.

"There is a way, but it can't be used yet..." Li Xiaojiu seemed to have a plan in mind, but he didn't know what to worry about, so he didn't tell Wu Xu what he thought.

Wu Xu didn't ask any further questions. In fact, she paid attention to the "marriage prohibition order" just because she promised to tell Li Sanlang a daughter-in-law, but because of the rebuilding of "Clan Chronicles", she refused to take it to death. The daughter/sister is married to Xiao Li, even if she is one of the queens of the 'two saints', she can't force the king to force her to hire someone else's daughter, right?

It seems that after these few things are over, she will have to make up for her confidant and beloved general.

One day a long time later, in order to compensate Li Sanlang, classmate Xiao Wu asked him if he would like to be the Lord, but the latter was stunned for a long time, and then resolutely refused.He only made one request to Wu Xu, which is to bring justice to the case of Liu Jie...

Wu Xu couldn't help being moved by his friendship with Liu Ji, and immediately persuaded Li Xiaojiu to restore Liu Ji's reputation.

This is something.

However, it is said that just when Chang'an city was in a state of chaos because of the two policies of revising the "Record of Surnames" and implementing the "Marriage Prohibition Order".

Liu Rengui, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and others who were far away on Wa Island had gathered Chen Bing, the main force of the Andong Protectorate, the Donghai Protectorate and the Far East Protectorate, in the base of the Dahai people regime - Deyu Country.

This time, Su Dingfang led the land army, starting from Meinong, heading north all the way, sweeping all the state capitals along the way.Liu Rengui and Xue Pinggui each led a hundred giant warships, starting from Echizen and Ise, and heading north along the east and west coasts to attack the northern part of Washima.At the same time, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also issued an order to the rulers of Bohai Kingdom and Yeni Kingdom, asking them to send troops from the north to contain the Japanese troops and cooperate with Datang's actions.

When the people from the sea fled to Hokkaido, they didn't have many soldiers and horses, and they fought with the Ezo country again, and lost more than half of their direct descendants. The local forces in Echigo, Mutsu and other places, his troops could not resist the attacks from Datang, Bohai Kingdom, and Ezo Kingdom for a while.

When the southern countries fell one after another, and Noto Island in the west failed to intercept Liu Rengui's navy, the people of Haihai immediately realized that Datang had already launched a siege to it.

All the civil and military officials under the Dahai people were panicked, almost half of them wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, only the Queen Udaji and the left minister? ?The others advocated dealing with Tang Jun.

The Haihai man was hesitant, restless, and in the end it was Queen Ertian Ji who said something to him, and he finally had an idea.

In April of the sixth year of Xianqing, Baguan Palace in the eastern capital was completed, and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu renamed it "Hebi Palace". In that month, he took Tianhou and all civil and military officials to Luoyang, and left the mess of Chang'an to the prince and Xiao Li Xianggong. people.His Majesty Li Xiaojiu came out suddenly, but all the people who were waiting to criticize the empress during the solar eclipse jumped to their feet. The protagonists all ran away. Are they still making trouble? !

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, who ran to Luoyang with his wife, did not relax much. He had been using his brain too much some time ago, and he suffered from dizziness again, so he could only rest in bed under the supervision of Wu Xu.

Fortunately, he and Wu Xu just had to wait for the news of the end of the war on Wa Island, and they didn't have to worry too much.

When we arrived in Luoyang, just when the peonies were blooming, Li Xiaojiu actually built a peony garden for Wu Xu, which was in the Hebi Palace.

Although Wu Xu doesn't like flowers and plants like a real girl, she is quite interested in admiring the beautiful and beautiful peonies.

And some nobles from noble families in the Eastern Capital had already heard the news, and they presented all the beautiful flowers in their collections to the palace, trying to curry favor with Wu Xu.

Wu Xu accepted everything according to the order, and specially invited the female relatives of the noble families who sent the flowers to the palace to enjoy the flowers.

In other words, it’s been a long time since a young girl watched it, and Wu Xu couldn’t hold it anymore when he followed Li Xiaojiu all day and saw those wrinkled courtiers.

The honorable women of noble families who came to the palace to meet Wu Xu had two purposes: one was to inquire about the revision of the "Record of Surnames" and see if their families could stay in place or improve a bit; About my little lady...

After listening to those noble ladies talking in a cloud for a long time, Wu Xu suddenly realized that these ladies brought their young ladies into the palace not for her to watch, but for His Majesty the Emperor...

rub it!

This is probably the negative impact of rebuilding "Clan Records" and implementing the "marriage ban"?

The concubine's mother's family can also be ranked fourth at the last time. Such a high position is easier than taking the Jinshi exam.

Besides, Li Tang's family can barely be regarded as one of the five surnames, and they are not forbidden marriages. It is better to marry the royal family than to marry his surname...

Now that the Hebi Palace is newly established, but there are not many concubines serving in the palace, now is a good opportunity to surrender to the Queen of Heaven!

Wu Xu didn't expect that Li Xiaojiu's crooked little boy would still be missed by someone, so she couldn't help turning black. What made her even more angry was that Su Dingfang, whom she had always placed high hopes on, actually let the people from Haihai run away after breaking out of Yucheng!

The author has something to say: Lao Su will be educated again, and he will be exterminated haha...
