Chapter 937: Noble Chronicles

Luo Cheng pointed out directly and listed the first rank of the new clan chronicles.

Gao Shilian suddenly realized that if it was according to their previous thinking, it would be impossible for this Luo family to be at the top of the list, and even the level they assessed before, the royal Luo clan, was listed on the last grade list with the Xiangyang Luo clan, because Luo Cheng's grandfather Luo Rong was born in poverty, and he couldn't find a celebrity for more than ten generations.

And Emperor Luo Cheng disdains to engage in such things as clinging to celebrities and indiscriminately recognizing his ancestors, he is not Li Yuan, after becoming the emperor, he has to let the ministers recognize Lao Tzu Li Er's disciples.

Even the ancestor of Emperor Xiliang may not be true.

Originally, the Li family was born in Zhao County, that is to say, their family used to be in Zhao County, Hebei, note that this Zhao County is not to say that his family is the Li family of Zhao County, but it is just in Zhao County with Zhao County Li, not that branch.

Later, the Li family came out with Yuwentai, so they also began to attach celebrities, and in order to raise their own value, they said that they were the Li family of Longxi.

forcibly squeezed himself into the list of five surnames and seven families, but in fact, the Kwantung clans did not admit it at all.

Luo Cheng did not cling to celebrities before he became the emperor, and he never had such a plan after becoming the emperor, he was born in Xiangyang Luo, and his ancestors were ordinary people for eighteen generations.

Even if you chase a few more generations, you can't find the genealogy anymore, after all, ordinary people can't repair the spectrum like the big clans.

But now the emperor said that all the scholars were founded by the ancestors and accumulated by the descendants of later generations, and the efforts of generation after generation have led to the later scholars.

Now, the old scholars have become a thing of the past, and he Luo Cheng wants to lead the relatives of Great Qin to create a new clan era.

Therefore, his royal family, the Luo clan, naturally wanted to become the first place in the list of new clans.

The royal family Luo occupies the first place in the first class.

Then the second class is the second cousin, who is the first to bear the brunt of the relative? Naturally, it is the Qin family of the Empress Dowager's family, so the Qin family of Licheng of Qijun County is ranked first in the second class, and then the second family in the second class is the queen family, the Jiyin Shan family.

Then there are the families of the four concubines, namely the Longxi Li family of Li Guifei's family, the Yulin Yan family of Concubine Yan's family, the Xingyang Cui family of Concubine Cui's family, and the Xingyang Zheng family of Concubine Zheng's family.

Then there are the sons-in-law of the Emperor Taishang, such as the Zhou family, the Wang family, the Zhao family, the Du family, etc.

The third class is the families of the prime ministers, which are included in the families of the eleven prime ministers today.

The fourth class is the home of all meritorious generals, and those generals who have been named princes are arranged among them.

The fifth class is ranked by the officials and ministers of the third rank and above in this dynasty.

The sixth class is ranked by nobles such as Bozi and men.

The seventh class is ranked among the four or five rank officials such as the county magistrate.

The eighth class, with the five grades of loose officials listed.

The ninth class, those who have been awarded the meritorious officers of the five-rank army are among them.

Gao Shilian listened carefully and found that according to the emperor's will, then the hundred volumes of clan records they had cultivated before could be completely thrown away.

The new clan chronicles are completely ignorant of the fame and reputation of the previous scholars, and are only based on the official positions of the current dynasty.

The first class of the royal family, and then the second class of the royal relatives.

The third class is the prime minister, the fourth class is the prince, the fifth class is the minister of the third rank or above, the sixth class is the prince of the male feudal marquis, the seventh class, the county taishou and other four or five rank officials, the eighth class is the fifth rank of loose officials, and the ninth class is even the non-commissioned officers who do not have an official position, but have more than five ranks of military meritorious officers can be included in it.

The original old scholars, regardless of whether you are a Shandong scholar or a Guanlong scholar, as long as you are not a relative family, not a person with a title, and not a person who has won a substantive position, a loose rank, or a medal above the fifth grade, you are not eligible to enter.

And there is another criterion for entering the clan chronicles, that is, only the record of itself and the grandson of Kun's disciples.

A huge family like the Cui clan and the Zheng family, even if it is a foreign relative, only the concubine's father, uncle and brother are recorded, and other branches are not eligible to enter.

Cui Mingan, who was originally the first in the first class, was neither a relative nor a meritorious marquis in the new dynasty, and only had the position of a squire, but he was under the fourth grade, so his family Boling Cui could only rank seventh.

According to the new standard, it is estimated that the surname list can increase to more than 300 surnames, and the family list can increase to more than 3,000.

The previous Gao Shilian's clan chronicles, more than a thousand above, were all disciples of the Shi clan since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the real family of the crown of the ages.

It is purely based on the county surname as the rank difference.

This is also the most traditional ranking method.

The previous standard was the surname Shang, which was based on the surname of the county, but now the emperor wants to be an official and a lord, based on the title and official position. A large number of family surnames that cannot be called scholars at all are also on the list.

It completely denied the concept of gate valves since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and fully supported the meritorious officials of the Great Qin ruling group.

In the final analysis, it is actually the new gate valve and the world feudal system, which is the basis for the preparation for the emperor's upcoming actual feudal princes.

A large number of Hanmen Shu clans, even landlords and civilians, who started with military exploits, were finally able to climb to this new clan and create a new clan with the help of the emperor.

Gao Shilian received this clear will, and after returning to the Yamen, he immediately gathered a group of colleagues to orally pass on the emperor's will and comprehensively rebuild the clan history.

Everyone was shocked, but they still truthfully revised it.

After working overtime day and night, finally, Gao Shilian and others quickly revised a new clan chronicle and submitted it to the emperor.

The newly revised clan chronicle includes 335 surnames and 5,687 families, which are classified as ninth.

In this pedigree, the minimum standard is the five ranks, or the rank or the rank or the actual position. Those below the fifth grade are not eligible to enter.

A large number of old scholars, even if they are hundred-year-old scholars, or even hundreds of years, but because they failed to stand in line in time with Cui Zheng and other families, they didn't catch up with the trip, and they failed to be knighted, so they were not on the list.

Gao Shilian held the newly revised clan chronicle, and looked at each other with a group of colleagues, all of whom were a little embarrassed and silent, and even a little uncertain.

Even the leader of the scholar clan like Fan Yang Lu did not make it into the list of 5,687 families, would it be a little too much, after the promulgation of such a clan chronicle, can the world recognize it?

Of the 5,687 families, nearly half of them have empty family trees, they are all ordinary people from military academies, and they can't find a single official or even a student who has studied for eight generations. But now, they are all listed in the clan chronicles.

Cen Wenwen looked at their painstaking efforts and said with a wry smile, "I think this should be called aristocracy." ”

Wen Daya and the others also laughed when they heard it.
