Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 228 Datang Clan History

"There's no need to panic!" Li Xin said in a deep voice, "Li Shimin is not that capable of eradicating all the aristocratic families at once!"

"Wait until I get in touch with the other patriarchs of the five surnames Qiwang to see what their plans are, and then I'll make a fuss about it!"

Afterwards, Li Xin sent letters to the Patriarchs of the five surnames Qiwang, preparing to conspire with each other.

But at this time in the imperial study, Li Shimin didn't want to deal with the family at all. He was living an extremely comfortable life now.

After subduing Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the world is at peace now, and he can finally live in peace and think about his future plans.

So recently he even approved the memorials by himself, and handed them all over to Li Fu for review, which annoyed Li Fu.

At this time, Changsun Wuji came in to report, "Your Majesty, the matter of Liangzhou has been properly resolved. This time, the Li family in Longxi has been wiped out by us. However, I implore Your Majesty, this should be severely punished, and this should be avoided. Things like this happen again.”

Li Shimin understood the purpose of Changsun Wuji's visit, and he also felt that these aristocratic families were too presumptuous.

At the time of the war at the border, what do they want to do?I thought it was the previous dynasty, and I still wanted to make a fortune for the country!

If it wasn't for his timely dispatch, hundreds of thousands of people on the front line of Liangzhou would be starved to death. Things like this must never happen again.

However, there has never been a single case of severely punishing a family since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, especially now that the target is still the Li family in Longxi. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little hesitant, so he asked casually, "Is there a good way for the auxiliary machine to teach me?"

Hearing the exchange between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, Li Fu couldn't help but sigh.

【It's so cowardly, Li Er was already counseled when he heard this, and he didn't dare to attack the aristocratic family. 】

[But that's right, he thinks more, and it's the Li family in Longxi, and he wants to maintain the current stable situation. 】

[Even if the current situation is developing in a better direction, the fact that most of the central government officials and local officials are descendants of aristocratic families cannot be ignored. If you turn against the aristocratic family at this time, it is tantamount to causing trouble for yourself. 】

[But it’s not obvious, you can make a small move, come up with a clan chronicle, spread it all over the world, first cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and make the family members disgusting! 】

[By re-dividing the clan hierarchy, it creates public pressure on the aristocratic family, allowing the people to subtly lower the status of the aristocratic family little by little. Anyway, a dull knife cuts flesh, so just cut it slowly. 】

Clan Chronicles?Reclassification?Blunt knife to cut flesh?Li Shimin suddenly regained his spirits.

Although Changsun Wuji was constantly advising Li Shimin on how to deal with the family, Li Shimin didn't listen to a word at all.

In fact, what Changsun Wuji said was commonplace and not constructive. Compared with Li Fu, it was a world of difference, so Li Shimin was asked to put all his energy on Li Fu.

[Actually, it is really necessary for Li Er to compile a clan chronicle of the Tang clan. After all, he has started to deal with the family. How can there be such a good public opinion tool? 】

[The influence of the Guanlongmen Clan and Shandong nobles among the people at this time is probably what he is most afraid of now. 】

[This point has actually been a hidden danger since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, because all the heroes of the Tang Dynasty came from proud and powerful families! 】

[If nothing else, wasn’t the Supreme Emperor from the Li family in Longxi? At that time, he was married to the daughter of Taishi Dou of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The legendary Grand Master Dou was also from the Fufeng Dou family. How else could the Emperor get the confidence to rebel? 】

[In addition, Duke Xiao Yu of the Song Dynasty who once served as prime minister, the wife of the prime minister, Yin Kaishan, the Duke of Xun, and even the British Duke Li Jing, Qu Tutong, the Duke of Jiang, and Chai Shao, the consort, are all descendants of the Guanlong noble family! 】

[However, the Guanlongmen faction still has a big problem. Even their distant ancestors have no specific deeds to check. At the same time, they still have the experience of Huhua process, and most of them are despised by the wealthy families of the Central Plains because they gained meritorious service in the war and quickly became great nobles. 】

[However, due to the war in the previous dynasty, the glory of the Shandong gentry has long since ceased to exist. In addition, their family is not connected, and there are signs of generational discontinuity or decline. 】

[However, these wealthy families still claim to be their own families, and they even marry each other. In terms of social status and prestige, they are still higher than the newly established Guanlong clan. 】

Li Shimin deeply agrees with Li Fu's opinion, and it is indeed a point that Li Shimin has been worried about.

Under the pressure of Li Shimin, the powerful clan in Shandong is still in the folk at this time and has a strong influence, but because of the war and internal reasons, it has declined somewhat, but the foundation is still there.

Therefore, Li Shimin has always wanted to find an opportunity to make a good deal of the Shandong giants.

Therefore, the clan annals that Li Fu just mentioned aroused Li Shimin's interest, but he was still at a loss as to what Li Fu was going to do with this clan annals.

At this time, Changsun Wuji was still talking non-stop, but he finally discovered that Li Shimin was not listening carefully, but was distracted, so he suddenly felt unhappy, and asked forcefully, "Your Majesty, what's your opinion if you dare to ask?" ?”

"Uh, ah?" Li Shimin came to his senses with a jolt, nodded his head and said, "What Qi Guogong said is true, but I think it would be better if it could be more perfect!"

Changsun Wuji has black lines all over his head, what the hell is this called?Where should I start?
But Changsun Wuji didn't know that Li Shimin's mind was not on him at all at the moment, but was focused on Li Fu's voice.

[So at this time, it is very necessary to compile the clan chronicles! 】

[When the time comes to research the origins, collect genealogies, re-order the family lineage of the nobles, and then write some articles on this major practitioner, then it will be perfect! 】

[For example, Gao Shilian, Wei Ting, Cen Wenwen, Linghu Demao, etc...]

Li Shimin memorized while listening, his eyes became brighter, he knew that Li Fu's strategy was indeed feasible.

[Gao Shilian came from a noble family in Hebei, he seems to be from the Bohai Gao clan, he is also the uncle of Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji! 】

[Wei Ting comes from the Guanlong gentry and belongs to Jingzhao Wei, Cen Wenwen is Nanyang Cen, and Linghu Demao comes from Dunhuang Linghu! 】

[Only these four people represent the Shandong clan, the Guanlong clan, the Jiangzuo clan and the Northwest clan. 】

[In this way, the purpose of collecting from all the families is achieved, so that no one has anything to say, and when the time comes, the world's aristocratic families will suffer this boring loss! 】

Hearing this, Li Shimin gasped involuntarily, Li Fu thought of the details so thoughtfully.

In this way, he didn't need to make any adjustments at all, he just needed to let those people compile the clan annals according to the list drawn up by Li Fu.
