"Brother Cheng, the little brother is polite." Xu Qilin clasped his fists and greeted first.

"Courteous, courteous." Cheng Chubi wiped his sweat and returned the salute indiscriminately.

At this moment, General Qianniu Wei Zhonglang walked out and coughed dryly, very majestic.

The one who led this group of little children to the temple was the second only general of Qianniuwei, and in addition to standing on duty, he also had a function, which was an amplified microphone.

According to the etiquette system of the imperial court, if the emperor has a mouth, the general secretary will bear the rumor, and those who do not hear it at the bottom of the stairs will announce it.

Seeing that Zhonglang was coming out, the little Zhengtai hurriedly stood solemnly, waiting for Zhonglang to speak or lead the team to set off.

Zhonglang General glanced around, nodded and said, "Since they are all here, let's follow this official into the palace to set up a guard of honor!" ”

Everyone agreed, and the queue followed Zhonglang to the Imperial Palace.

Xu Qilin had already received Liu Hongye's guidance, and he was at the end of the line, next to Wei Chihuan.

Along the way, everyone was well-groomed, didn't even say a word, and pretended to be very serious.

Outside the hall, the little Zhengtai each held their own belongings, and the royal sword and bow were added to the wat board, entered the main hall, and lined up on both sides of the throne, which was considered to be going to work.

In addition to the preparation of thousands of cows, the honor guard also has a feather fan and a palace maid holding an umbrella, all of which are arranged on both sides of the throne.

The guard of honor was arranged, and after a while, the civil and military officials entered the hall according to their ranks, and stood according to the positions of the first class and the second class.

Happy, His Majesty Li Er went out from the East Sequence Gate, ascended to the hall to sit, and began the court meeting.

Hundreds of officials bowed, and then sat down, that is, the posture of kneeling and pressing their legs, and began to perform things according to the rank of the official and the importance of the position.

The major and minor matters were reported one by one, and His Majesty Li Er either dealt with them on the spot, or handed them over to the political hall for discussion.

Xu Qilin stood honestly, holding the wat board properly, listening carefully with his ears, and remembering it carefully.

Not everything needs to be faulty, it needs to be different, feudal society has its own administration and laws, as well as the way to deal with it.

Xu Qilin is very clear about this, and most of the reports are just listened to. In fact, only from the perspective of growth experience, Qianniu is still very blessed. At least you can learn the rules of the court.

"There are four surnames of Shandong Cui, Lu, Li and Zheng, although they are tired of Ye Ling, they still rely on their old land, so they are self-conscious, and they are called scholars. Every time she marries a woman of another clan, she will ask for money extensively, and the more will be more expensive, and the number of contracts will be the same as that of the city, which will damage the customs and disorder the etiquette. It is not appropriate to deal with the severity of the situation, and it is necessary to reform. ”

His Majesty Li Er's voice attracted Xu Qilin's attention, and he listened to the supreme instructions given to Gao Shilian and the others.

Obviously, the newly revised "Chronicles of the Clans" made His Majesty Li Er very dissatisfied, and after these days of deliberation, he finally set the tone in the court.

His Majesty Li Er seemed to be very angry and confused, and he could hear it from the increase in his voice, "The Shandong Shi clan has been declining for generations, and there is no crown at all, and they rely on marriage to get rich, I really don't understand why the four surnames in Shandong are self-conscious, and why are they important in the world?!" ”

Gao Shilian and the others were silent, knowing that they did not deeply understand His Majesty's meaning, which caused strong dissatisfaction from His Majesty Li Er, and the consequences of the angry eruption were very serious.

After His Majesty Li Er vented, he finally gave the highest instruction, "There is no need to talk about a few generations ago, stop taking today's officials and lords as ranks, and make a new compilation, can you understand?" ”

"Wechen and others obey the order!" Gao Shilian and the others bowed down, beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Xu Qilin pursed his lips almost inaudibly, and the revision of the "Clan Chronicles" was not so much to suppress the old gate lord clan, but to strengthen the imperial power.

Moreover, His Majesty Li Er's instructions did not mean that they repudiated the concept of gate valves, but focused more on supporting the ruling group. Replacing the "Shang surname" with "Shang Guan" to revise the score is tantamount to engaging in a new door valve.

There is no hoisting! Xu Qilin sneered in his heart, and was very unhappy with His Majesty Li Er's move.

You keep saying how the old family gate valve is declining and how unbearable, but your old Li family claims that its ancestors are from the Li family in Longxi, and they are proud of it.

Slap in the face?!

Xu Qilin could almost guess that according to His Majesty Li Er's highest instructions, the first class in the "Clan Chronicles" must be the Li family, and if nothing else, the eldest grandson of Li Er's late wife's family should be ranked second.

Hehe, you have a good time, just feel satisfied, Lao Li's family has no opinion.

It is estimated that those family gate valves also think like this, who made you the boss, anyway, it doesn't matter. It's just a broken book, can it really shake the status of the family's door valve?

As for the intermarriage between the clans and the clans, and the disgrace of marrying with the surnames, it is a difficult problem that cannot be solved by legal and administrative means.

You must know that the concept of "the right person" has also existed in later generations. As for asking for a high dowry, how much stronger can the standard of "having a house, a car, and a bride price" be in later generations?

The change of concept is the most difficult, and the prestige and status of the gate lord family in society have been formed after a long history since the Han Dynasty, relying on a profound family style and intellectual tradition.

In that era, you have to admit the lingering charm of the family, and accumulate steadily.

Taking Taiyuan Wang as an example, a number of top poets such as Wang Bo, Wang Zhilian, Wang Changling, and Wang Wei were born, forming a dizzying poetry feast in the history of Tang poetry.

Therefore, the reform of the imperial examination system has made efforts to create a platform for fair competition for poor students. However, in the long run, after adapting to the imperial examination system, the inheritance of education and knowledge of the family will still give the children of the family a special advantage in the examination.

Of course, the reform of the imperial examination is imperative, fairness and justice are the most important, and it can indeed enable many children of the Shu clan to ascend to the court.

It's not that they are excellent, but in the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Gaomen clan still despised the scientific examination system and adhered to the concept of medieval aristocracy.

After the "Anshi Rebellion", the "Five Surnames: With the help of the imperial examination system, it re-emerged."

For example, the Zheng family in Xingyang, since the beginning of the Middle Tang Dynasty, there have been more than ten prime ministers and important ministers, so there is a saying of "Zheng Banchao".

Another example is Fan Yang Lu's family, especially since the Middle Tang Dynasty, there are more than 100 Zhongjin scholars, which is an amazing number.

All this made Xu Qilin feel helpless, and gradually changed his thoughts and original intentions.

Putting aside the proposition of suppressing the family, the vision can be broadened. No matter what your background is, meritocracy is the right way, no matter what your surname is, whether you are a high family or a Han clan.

Xu Qilin stood upright, lowered his head, thought carefully, and thought thoroughly.

The meeting continued, but there was no longer any recital that needed his special attention.
