After the new edition of the Kaiyuan Clan Chronicles, which was called the Noble Chronicles by Wen Daya and others, was sent to the emperor, the emperor was very satisfied, and after only a few minor modifications, he ordered the secretary to print the engraving plate in the province, and then print 10,000 copies for issuance.

In addition to more than 5,000 families in the clan chronicles, each family gave a copy, but also ordered more than 23 provinces, more than 200 counties and more than 1,000 counties in the world to be awarded, and the order was publicized and announced.

As soon as this ambition came out, the world was in an uproar.

In particular, many old scholars were shocked to find that their hundreds of years old scholars were actually on the list.

And most of the families on the New Clan Chronicles, they had never heard of it before.

There are more than 200 counties in the world, and many new county dignitaries have emerged in each county.

Along with the promulgation of the clan chronicles, there is also the latest title adjustment announced by the imperial court.

The imperial court officially launched the real title and the fictitious title.

This adjustment, in addition to the adjustment of the real seal and the false seal, the biggest change is that many old nobles have suddenly removed their knights.

This contains a large number of Guanlong nobles, many nobles are from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the title, until now they have gone through several dynasties, and there are more Guanlong nobles who started in Wuchuan, they went through the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Sui, and then entered the Qin, originally at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, their titles were recognized.

But this time, many people's titles are gone.

Some people are better because of the timely annexation, but the title is also greatly reduced.

Luoyang City.

Dou House.

Dou Kang received the latest edict from the imperial court, and his title of Duke of Qi was withdrawn, and his brother Dou Qing's title of Duke of Chen was also taken back.

In the hall, the air seemed to be frozen.

The Dou Kang brothers sat there without saying a word, their faces sinking like water.

"Big brother, you have something to say, we can't just keep silent, right?"

"Say what? What else can be said? Becoming a king or defeating a king, it is the Luo family who wins the world, not the Li family, my Dou family's son-in-law. Dou Kang sighed, "I had expected that there would be this day, but I didn't expect it to really come, come so quickly, and start so ruthlessly." ”

Dou Kang was born in the Dou clan in Henan, this Henan origin is very interesting, just like the eldest grandson Wuji is also called the Henan Changsun clan, they are actually all Haoqiang or simply Xianbei people in the northern land of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the early years.

Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang, so a large number of Xianbei nobles changed their hometown to Henan.

Dou Kang was the son of Dou Rongding, the governor of Luozhou in the Sui Dynasty, and the brother-in-law of Li Yuan, whose family was also one of the core families of the Guanlong aristocracy. In his early years, he entered Taixue to study, and Li Yuan was still a classmate, and later served as a Qianniu preparation, and then served as the governor of Liangzhou, Qizhou, and Youzhou, and attacked Chen Guogong.

Later, due to Yang Guang's suspicion, he was removed from the official title, and the title of Duke of Chen Guo was taken by his brother Dou Qing.

After Li Yuan raised troops and entered the customs, Dou Kang immediately went to defect, so he was relied on by Li Yuan, and successively served as a general in the short-lived Tang Dynasty, such as a general eunuch, a Nayan, and a general of Zuo Wuhou.

Li Yuan never called Dou Kang by name, he always called him his brother, and the palace even called him his uncle.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the evaluation of meritorious heroes, Dou Kang and his cousin Dou Rail are among them, Dou Rail is the Duke of Yuguo, Dou Kang is the Duke of Qi, and his brother Dou Qing is still Chen Guogong, a prince of the Three Kingdoms, but he is noble.

But who would have expected that Li Tang was a short-lived dynasty, and before it lasted two years, it was beaten into Chang'an and annihilated.

The Dou family naturally had to be attached, and then the family returned to their hometown of Luoyang.

After arriving in Luoyang, Dou Kang felt the indifference of the new dynasty to their family, and the Dou family was almost the same as the Li Yuan family, and they were treated coldly.

Originally, he still retained his title, at least he was still a nobleman.

But now the three brothers have all been removed from their national dukedoms, and the three brothers have been removed from their ranks, so although they have not decreed to serve the people, they have actually lost their official status and become commoners.

In the clan chronicles, they are a famous family like the Dou family in Henan, and they didn't even squeeze in the list of more than 5,000 people.

Not only was the title of the three brothers of Dou Kang taken away, but in fact, all the sons and daughters of the entire Henan Dou family were all removed.

From the house of the nobility, it became the house of the common people overnight.

"Big brother, I inquired, the Li family is worse than ours."

Dou Qing sighed and said, Originally, the emperor awarded Xuanba as the Duke of Tang Guo, and also left Li Shimin the title of Duke of Dunhuang County, and last year he also granted him the post of Sima of Wuchuan County, but it is said that Li Shimin was unruly and refused to take office, which still angered the emperor after all.

Therefore, this time, the emperor simply reduced his nationality to the people, and issued an edict to move to Obifang County as a Tuntian citizen, so that the local government could take care of and monitor him. Even Li Xuanba was implicated because of this and was demoted to the founding prince of Zhao County.

This time, the emperor was very ruthless, cutting off more than 2,000 titles at one time, and demoting countless titles, and those who were cut off were basically those titles of the previous dynasties, many of which were noble families that were handed down from the Northern Wei and Western Wei dynasties.

In addition, there are a large number of people who were cut and demoted, which were those who surrendered and belonged to the previous unification war, including officials of the Sui Dynasty, officials of some separatist forces, and many bandits and rebels.

There are more than 30 titles of the dukes in total, more than 30 county dukes, and more than 40 county dukes, adding up to only about 100 dukes.

Uncle Hou added up to more than 300, and Zi Nan added up to more than 300.

In total, there are only about 700 of them.

There are only about 700 real titles, and the rest are virtual titles, and the highest virtual titles are marquis, and about 500 are sealed.

"Damn, the surname Luo is to cross the river and tear down the bridge. At the beginning, that bold and generous, as long as it was attached, it was a prince who treated each other, but now, both the removal of the lord and the dismissal of the official, this is the bird to hide! ”

Dou Kang said to his brother, "You are wrong, for Luo Cheng, we are not even a bow, because in his eyes, only his civil and military soldiers who are from the dragon can be regarded as bows, we, we are the rabbits." ”

Dou Qing only felt panic in his chest.

He didn't care much about the Henan Dou family's failure to go to the clan chronicles, anyway, now the clan chronicles are also known as Xunge, nobles, and some people even call it the nouveau riche genealogy, so he feels disgusted when he is on it.

But Luo Cheng won the title and dismissed the official here, and there was a restriction on the land according to the official rank, exceeding the need to buy or replace, and it was only more than one-third of the replacement before, but this time it was to move the real character, and if it is exceeded, it will be replaced, but the land of Luoyang and Chang'an can be exchanged for the land of Liaoning and Longyou, who is willing?

But now, the emperor really did just that.

It's only been four years since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and there are still three feudatories in the south of the Yangtze River that have not yet been decided, but the emperor can't wait to open a knife on them.

"Big brother, Luo Cheng is a stupid move, he doesn't know how many old nobles and old scholars he has cut with this knife, and how many former heroes and heroes have been dissatisfied with the king, I think this is an opportunity!"
