Chapter 1149: I Can't Sleep
On the warm kang, a kang table is placed on it, and a whale oil lamp is on the table. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Cui Gan was holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were a little distracted.
This is the clan chronicle that was just released this morning, and as soon as it was released, it was already sold Hanjing paper. As an important member of the imperial court, Cui Gan did not have to buy it, and the imperial court issued a copy to all the relatives and officials of Hanjing.
Cui Gan is currently a waiter in the ministry, from Wude to Zhenguan, Cui Gan has been going around in various yastries in Beijing over the years, but he has a lot of fate with the position of the waiter. Wu De was the Huangmen Shilang at the time, and later transferred to the Zhongshu Shilang, and then to the Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, which is actually going downhill.
Especially this time the squire of the Ministry of Officials, he is very clear that it is related to the clan chronicles.
The emperor asked Gao Shilian Ma Zhou and others to repair the clan chronicles, and it is said that after the first repair, it was sent to the emperor for the imperial review, but the emperor was very dissatisfied, and that version, the first class was he Cui Gan.
The clan chronicles in the blue leather thread still exude a good smell of ink, but Cui Gan couldn't calm down after reading it.
This Datang clan chronicle includes 300 surnames and 1,008 families in the Tang Dynasty. The Cui family, which was listed as the first class last time, ranked more than 300 in the family ranking this time.
The thousand-year-old wang clan, the leader of the north, the Boling Cui clan, is now ranked more than 300 among the scholars?
Cui Gan's face was gloomy.
"Lang Jun, it's not too late, rest early." Cui Gan's wife, Taiyuan Wang, came in and saw that her husband was still there, and she persuaded her.
Cui Gan shook his head.
"I can't sleep, and I don't know how many people can't sleep tonight like me."
Boling Cui's family lined up to more than 300, and the Taiyuan Wang family was not much better, and they were also lined up to 300 away.
There are five surnames and seven families, and the Zheng family in Xingyang is better, and they have squeezed in a hundred, which is also because he has the title of Duke of the real feudal country, and he also holds the position of Dali Temple. Relying on officials and lords, not the thousand-year-old fame of the Zheng family in Xingyang.
"What kind of clan history is this, this is simply the nobility chronicle, the nouveau riche ranking!" Cui Gan said indignantly. He is the head of the five and seven surnames of the Boling Cui family, the leader of the north, but there are more than 300 people.
And who is number one? Royal, well, this one he grudgingly accepts. But who is the second in the family? It's the Li family. Ba Shang Li family? Although he is also the son and daughter of the Cui family, Li Chao was just a little Shatuo for ten years.
The royal first class, the second class of the honorable relatives and the second class, and the third class of the nobles and high-ranking officials, on the contrary, most of them, who have been in the family for thousands of years, can only be listed as the fourth class of the last class.
On the surname list, the surname Li is the first, the eldest grandson is the second, and Dugu is the third. In the family rankings, the royal family is the first, the Bashang Li family is second, and the Luoyang eldest grandson family is third.
Cui Gan couldn't sleep, how could he sleep.
As soon as this clan chronicle came out, it can be said that their Boling Cui's fame for thousands of years was trampled into the dust by the emperor. Think about the new imperial examination again, those Shu landlords and even peasant tenants, the children of craftsmen and businessmen all participate in the imperial examination in the same way, regardless of origin, regardless of family, once they are examined, they are carp jumping over the dragon gate, and they can also be officials and officials, so what else do they have to be proud of in these thousands of years of family?
"How can Your Majesty do this?"
Cui Gan said to his wife very unceremoniously, "What does he not dare, what else in this world does he dare not do, usurping the throne palace change, imprisoning his father and imprisoning his brothers and brothers, and even after the Hanjing Rebellion, he even cut the grass and eradicated the roots, killing his brother and slaughtering his brother." In Tongguan, in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he personally slashed Yuanji with a sword. And the Emperor Taishang, who doesn't know that it was assassinated by His Majesty's orders! ”
Wang glanced left and right in panic, "You are crazy, you dare to say this kind of thing." ”
"What I'm saying is the truth."
Wang said angrily, "Our family was lucky in the Hanjing Rebellion last time, and we were not implicated. Have you forgotten how many families were involved last time, think about their consequences, then the sentence of beheading was announced in front of the gate of heaven, and the family members were exiled by the army, and you want to kill us. ”
Cui Gan let out a long sigh.
What can they do when they encounter an emperor like Li Shimin?
Just like Cui Hao back then, Qinghe Cui's family, a famous family for hundreds of years, and Cui Hao was also a famous minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, helping the Northern Wei Dynasty to unify the north. But as a result, Cui Hao killed him because the history he gave to the Northern Wei Dynasty was not in line with Emperor Taiwu's intentions, and he also wiped out the Nine Clans.
After the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty suppressed their Kwantung scholars even more, the Northern Qi Dynasty was a comprehensive Hu dynasty, and the Gao family reused those Hu people and those Han people were strong, and they were extremely contemptuous of these scholars, and they could only be subordinate officials. When he arrived in the Sui Dynasty, he could be regarded as having a good life for a few days, and he met a crazy emperor like Yang Guang again.
After the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, their scholars were deeply attacked by thieves.
Originally, Li Yuan was not bad, but now Li Shimin is the emperor, and he is becoming more and more ruthless day by day.
In Cui Gan's opinion, what kind of emperor is Li Shimin? That's a rogue emperor, an emperor who can kill his father, kill his brother and kill his brother, what can't he do?
After the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin still wooed the scholars, but after the Hanjing Rebellion, it was already a complete purge. Now he is even more shameless, directly compiling such a clan chronicle, compiling those Shu landlords and even the nouveau riche from artisan merchant families, and even compiling it to the front.
In the face of these, Cui Gan had no power to resist, so he could only watch all this happen.
Except for whining at home, there is nothing to do.
Like a calm lake, a stone was thrown in, and at the end of the year, Hanjing was flooded with countless ripples.
Early in the morning, in front of the gate of heaven.
Before it was time to open the door, the morning drum was still beating one after another, and the morning drum in Hanjing was normally beaten a thousand times. But it doesn't have to be a thousand knocks, usually until dawn. If you can see the people on the streets, the morning drum will stop, and if it is foggy, you have to beat your feet.
There was a lot of morning fog this morning.
The street drums were beating one after another, and the hundreds of officials of the court outside the gate of heaven gathered more and more.
One by one, the carriages stopped, and the lights on the carriages brightened up outside the gate of heaven.
As usual, the officials stood together in groups of three or five, chatting by the way while waiting for the door to open.
Usually everyone talks casually, but today they are almost all talking about clan history.
"Clan chronicles, it's basically aristocratic chronicles!" Cui Gan's eyes were red, he didn't sleep all night last night, and there was still a resentment in his heart at this time. Standing with a few officials who usually have a good relationship, he couldn't help but complain.
"It is indeed an aristocratic chronicle, I read the clan chronicles carefully last night, there are one thousand and eighty families in the book, and each family is a real nobleman. Nobles who don't have a real seal can't get in at all! ”
"I think we have five surnames and seven families, and the thousand-year-old scholar clan is now ranked outside the hundreds."
"This can be regarded as the fief we bought in Liaodong before and became a real nobleman, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to enter these thousand and eighty families."
When Li Chao came, the fog was still very strong.
As soon as his carriage stopped, many people looked over.
"Why is this here today?"
Li Chao is not a regular court official, and he does not need to go to court.
Watching this python robe get out of the car, everyone's eyes were full of envy, but Cui Gan, Li Chao's father-in-law, still had a little jealousy in his eyes.
In the past, no matter what he said, although his official position was not as good as Li Chao, his family reputation was there, which Li Chao couldn't compare. But now, Li Chao has also become a scholar family, and he has become the second largest family in the world.
Cui Gan couldn't figure it out, what qualifications did the Bashang Li family have to become the second family in the world?
Li Chao stood there, and immediately felt the gaze.
He only saw the freshly baked clan chronicles yesterday, and when he got the clan chronicles, he knew that he had been designated as the second family of the world corporal clan.
actually ranked in front of the grandson of the Chang family, which is also a surprise.
ranked second in the world, which is of course also good for the Li family. Regardless of whether those old scholars admit it or not, anyway, in the future, the scholars will be reordered, and in the Tang Empire, the status of the Li family will truly stand firm from now on.
With such a clan chronicle, the Li family is no longer an upstart.
As for the pantothenic acid and unwillingness of those old scholars, Li Chao didn't bother to care.
The prince and general Xiangning have a kind of care, even if it is a scholar clan, there is no natural one, Cui Lu, Zheng Wang, Li Xiaoyang and other scholar clans, don't they also get up step by step.
is not a surname but an official, and the new scholar class that built the Tang Empire, I have to say that Li Shimin's brain is still very useful, and he actually thought of such a way.
Ma Zhou arrived early, but he sat in the carriage and did not get down. As a major official in Clan Chronicles, he knew how many people were dissatisfied with him. When I arrived today, I simply sat in the car and didn't get off.
Seeing that Li Chao had also arrived, he came over to say hello.
"Why is Wen Yuan here today?"
"Your Majesty has a call." Li Chao said with a smile, "The clan chronicles put me second, who does this mean?" ”
"Of course, it is Your Majesty's intention, and the clan records are all published after Your Majesty's Imperial Inspection."
The standard of the clan chronicle is Shang Guanjue, and Li Chao's official position is the highest in this dynasty, the Taishi of the three divisions. In terms of title, Li Chao is the only prince in this dynasty.
Three divisions and three dukes, then the prince and the county king, then Zaifu, and then the national prince and Shangshu Jiuqing.
Among the prime ministers, the royal relatives who married with the royal family came first.
As the prime minister, Ma Zhou is not a minister or a relative, but with the title of prime minister and duke, he can also be included in the second class.
Another carriage arrived.
It was Sun Wuji, the prince of Wei, who got out of the car.
In this clan chronicle, the surname of the eldest grandson of Luoyang ranked second, and the family ranked third.
"King Zhao, congratulations, the second in the Li family clan!" The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his hand to Li Chao.
Li Chao looked at him, and estimated that he was actually a little unconvinced, after all, the eldest grandson's family is also the Guanlongmen valve, and the ancestors of the family are still the Northern Wei royal family, he has no grandson Ji is a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and his sister is still the queen, so the family should be more famous than the Li family. But now the Li family is in front of the eldest grandson's family.
"Wei Guogong, rejoice and rejoice." Li Chao just said with a smile.
