Chapter 301
"After editing, print it out, and then spread it widely among the people, even ordinary people, let them know the existence of this ranking!"

"Can Mr. Zhao Guo get it done?"

Changsun Wuji heard the decree, thought about it, and seemed to have some understanding.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that this matter will be left to the minister to ensure that nothing will go wrong!"

"I don't need to search for other surnames to know. The Longxi Li clan where His Majesty lives is definitely the strongest clan among all the clans, so it must be ranked first!"

Li Chengdao looked at Changsun Wuji appreciatively after hearing this.

Well, children can be taught.

But at this time Changsun Wuji suddenly played.

"Your Majesty, compiling the "Clan Records" is not a big problem, but it may be difficult to print it as you said. Your Majesty, you also know that paper is a very precious thing. According to what you said, spreading it widely will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. financial resources!"

When Li Chengdao heard it, he thought it was a big problem, but it turned out to be a paper problem.

Datang's papermaking technology is too backward and the cost is too high.

When the paper mill is opened, there is no need to worry about these problems at all.

He waved his hand at Changsun Wuji.

"You don't have to worry about this, you can edit it now, and I will solve the paper problem later."

Changsun Wuji was a little confused. How to solve the problem with this piece of paper?

Is it possible to use bamboo slips?

But since Li Chengdao had finished speaking, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only answer.

"Sir, obey the order!"

Then he stepped back and began to prepare.

Li Chengdao did this in order to suppress the second largest influence of the aristocratic family, cultural influence.

He wants to break the inherent ranking in the hearts of the people, and let the people realize that the royal family Li family is the real famous family, while others are ranked below.

In this way, the prestige of the aristocratic family among the people can be reduced, and the status and influence of the royal family can be increased.

At that time, it will be matched with the imperial examination system, and the two-pronged approach will directly make the aristocratic families peel off their skins even if they are not dead!
……

Silent all night.

The next day, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came to report to Li Chengdao that the time for the enthronement ceremony was set on June 28.

It's almost half a month away.

Because Li Chengdao ascended the throne without holding the enthronement ceremony, they were afraid that Li Chengdao would make some excuses among the people, so they wanted to hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible.

They specially went to the national teacher Yuan Tiangang to calculate the date, and the 28th of this month is an auspicious day, which is just right for enthronement.

Then they rushed to report to Li Chengdao, because he still had to ask for his consent in terms of time.

Li Chengdao didn't ask for anything, so he agreed to this time and let them arrange it freely.

next time.

First of all, Li Jiancheng completed the evaluation of officials, kicked out all the bastards in the DPRK and waited to die, and also detained corrupt officials who had been corrupt for investigation.

Li Chengdao affirmed his work and praised him for doing a good job.

For this reason, Li Jiancheng was very happy, and even showed it off in front of Li Shimin for several days.

Among the officials kicked out by Li Jiancheng, most of them were from aristocratic families.

So when the incident happened, they couldn't help scolding Li Chengdao secretly, but they only dared to scold Li Chengdao secretly in their hearts, and they couldn't see it.

They were actually a little afraid of Li Chengdao, not only because Li Chengdao beat Wang Yi to death before, but also because Li Chengdao was the first emperor who dared to confront them head-on.

Bullying the weak and fearing the hard, the inferiority of human beings.

However, there are also those who are not afraid of Li Chengdao. They feel that they are from a famous family, and they don't take the emperor seriously at all.

Some even uttered wild words, saying that even if a few officials were dismissed, it would be theirs who would be re-elected anyway.

As a result, a piece of news at this time made them dumbfounded.

After Li Jiancheng completed his task, Li Shimin immediately announced that the system of appointment and removal of officials had changed, from the original nine-rank Zhongzheng system to the imperial examination system.

He also said that there are vacancies in the DPRK and Central Committee now, and he hereby recruits talents from all over the country. The scientific examination will be held in Chang'an on June [-]th, and anyone who is interested can come to participate.

As soon as this news came out, the family members panicked and abolished the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System. Wouldn't this cut off their lifeblood?
They must have protested, and they didn't cooperate in various ways. As a result, the court's attitude this time was very tough.

If you don't cooperate, you won't cooperate. Anyway, you will lose if you don't participate in the scientific examination.

Seeing that this method didn't work, they joined forces and asked for a face-to-face saint. They found a few tribesmen who could speak well, and wanted to confront Li Chengdao face to face.

As a result, Li Chengdao set a brilliant record of killing two people and seriously injuring four people.

Seeing that this was not going to work, they prepared to be tough, even organizing people to make trouble, and what's more, they even threatened to rebel.

But they forgot that the former Tiance General was in charge of this matter. Seeing that someone dared to sabotage his mission, Li Shimin was immediately furious.

"Damn it, Li Jiancheng shows off in front of me every day. That face is really annoying, so I must complete the task satisfactorily and never lose face in front of His Majesty!"

He immediately asked Li Chengdao to borrow some forbidden troops and beat the troublemakers to a pulp.

Even the Cui family of Qinghe was accused of rebellion, and Li Shimin directly ransacked and beheaded all over the house with iron and blood wrists, and cut the mess with a sharp knife.

If Li Shimin is a ruthless person, this style of behavior is probably only Li Chengdao can control him.

Seeing this, the remaining four aristocratic families stopped numbly and did not dare to move.

Why are there four major families? Because among the Seven Watches, apart from the Royal Longxi Li family and the Qinghe Cui family who have been executed by all the families, there should be five remaining families.

However, the Zheng family in Xingyang is the natal family of Li Chengdao's mother. They have always been very supportive of Li Chengdao, and this time they were no exception. They basically did nothing extraordinary.

They knew each other so well, so Li Chengdao naturally didn't make things difficult for them. His attitude towards them was much better than that towards other aristocratic families, and he seemed to intend to support them and become the second largest family after the royal family!

Seeing this, the other four big families dared not speak out.

What they used to rely on was that there were chess pieces all over the court, but now that these chess pieces have been removed by Li Chengdao, they have no support, and what is left is just a vain name.

In the end, they had no choice but to send people to prepare for the imperial examination, but they found that because they were used to extravagance and licentiousness in the past, the number of people who were able to participate in the scientific examination was so small that they could be counted on one hand.

Only then did they regret it, why were they so flustered before, and thought that this Tang Dynasty could really let them do whatever they wanted?

Now it seems that it's just self-indulgence.

Prosperity must decline, this is an eternal truth.

On the day of NO.15 in June.

The city of Chang'an is very lively, because young talents from all over the country gather here, preparing to take the imperial examination that can change their fate.

Although Li Shimin was in charge of this scientific expedition, Li Chengdao also believed that Li Shimin would be fair and upright.

But he was still a little worried. After all, Li Shimin couldn't do everything by himself. What if someone below secretly released water for the aristocratic family?
It just so happens that I'm pretty busy recently.

So he decided to visit privately.
