"Brother Cheng, I'm polite." Xu Qilin bowed his hands and said hello first.

"Be polite, be polite." Cheng Chubi wiped his sweat and replied casually.

At this moment, the General of Qianniu Guard walked out and coughed dryly, which was very majestic.

The one who led this group of little kids to the hall was the General of the Central Army, second only to General Qianniu Guard. In addition to the standing squad, he also had another function, which was an amplified phony tube.

According to the court's etiquette, if the emperor has a verbal order, he will receive the message from the housekeeper and refuse to hear it at the steps, the Central Army will announce it.

Seeing that the General of the Central Army came out, the young masters stood up in a hurry, waiting for the General of the Central Army to speak or lead the team to set off.

The General of the Central Army glanced around and nodded, "Since everyone is here, let's go to the palace to arrange a guard of ceremonies!"

Everyone agreed and lined up with the General of the Central Army to the palace.

Xu Qilin had long been instructed by Liu Hongye and was at the end of the line, just next to Yuchi Huan.

Along the way, everyone was well-behaved, and they didn't even say a word, pretending to be very serious.

When they arrived outside the hall, the little masters held their own family, with their swords, bows and tablets, entered the hall, and lined up on both sides of the imperial throne, which was considered working.

In addition to Qianniu, there are also feather fans and palace maids holding umbrellas, all of which are on both sides of the imperial throne.

The ceremonial war was set up, and after a while, the civil and military officials entered the hall according to the grade level and stood in the first-class class, second-class class and other positions.

The joy arose, His Majesty Li Er came out of Dongxu Gate, went to the hall and sat down, and began the meeting.

All officials worship and then sit down, which is the posture of kneeling down on their legs, and begins to play the important roles according to the official rank and position.

All major and minor matters will be reported one by one. His Majesty Li Er either dealt with them on the spot or handed over to the Political Affairs Hall for consultation.

Xu Qilin stood honestly, holding the tablet upright, listening carefully, and remembering it carefully in his heart.

Not every report requires faults and innovating. Feudal society has its own administration, laws and handling methods.

Xu Qilin is very clear about this and only listens to most of the reports. In fact, just from the perspective of increasing experience, Qianniu still has unique conditions for preparing for himself. At least, you can learn about the rules in the court.

"There are four surnames in Shandong Cui, Lu, Li and Zheng. Although Yeling was burdened with it, they still relied on their old places and were proud of themselves and were called scholars and officials. Whenever they marry daughters, they would seek wealth and be valuable. They would make a decision based on the number of numbers. They would be similar to those in the market and merchants, which would be very harmful to customs and have irregular rituals. Since the minority and seriousness are appropriate, the rationality must be reformed."

His Majesty Li Er's voice attracted Xu Qilin's attention, and listened to the highest instructions given to Gao Shilian and others.

Obviously, the newly compiled "Clan Chronicle" made His Majesty Li Er very dissatisfied. After these days of consideration, he finally set the tone in the court.

His Majesty Li Er seemed very angry and confused. From the improvement of his tone, you can tell that, "The Shandong gentry has declined for generations and has no caps. But I really don't understand why the four surnames in Shandong are proud of themselves, and why are they valued in the world?!"

Gao Shilian and others were silent and knew that they did not deeply understand His Majesty's intentions, which aroused His Majesty's strong dissatisfaction, and the consequences of the anger erupted were very serious.

After venting a while, His Majesty Li Er finally gave the highest instruction, "No need to discuss the past few generations, we can only take the current official title as the level. If you want to make a new student, do you understand?"

"Weichen, please follow the order!" Gao Shilian and others bowed and retreated, sweat beads oozing from their foreheads.

Xu Qilin curled his lips almost indescribably, and revising the "Clanography" is not so much a suppression of the old aristocratic families, but rather a strengthening of imperial power.

Moreover, His Majesty Li Er’s instructions do not mean denying the concept of aristocratic families, but rather focusing more on supporting the ruling group. Replacing the "Shang Guan" with "Shang Guan" to compile genealogies is equivalent to building a new family.

Is it useful? Xu Qilin sneered in his heart and was very displeased with His Majesty Li Er's actions.

You keep saying how the old family members declined and how unbearable it was, but your old Li family also claimed that their ancestors were from the Li family in Longxi, and they were proud of it.

Is it a slap in the face?!

Xu Qilin could almost guess that according to His Majesty Li Er's highest instructions, the Li family must be the first in the Clan. If nothing unexpected happens, the Changsun surname of Li Er's late wife's family should be ranked second.

Hehe, you have fun and feel satisfied. Old Li has no objection to the special waiter.

I guess those aristocratic families have the same idea. Who made you the boss? It doesn’t have any impact anyway. Just a broken book, can it really shake the status of aristocratic families?

As for intermarriage among aristocratic families and shameful marriage to other surnames, it is even more difficult to solve by legal and administrative means.

You should know that the concept of "a match between the two" was common until later generations. As for asking for high betrothal gifts, how much can the standard of "having a house, a car, and a bride price" in later generations be stronger?

Changes in concepts are the most difficult, and the prestige and status of aristocratic families in society have been formed since the Han Dynasty and through a long history, relying on deep family traditions and knowledge traditions.

In that era, you have to admit the lingering charm of the aristocratic families and accumulate strength.

Taking the Wang family in Taiyuan as an example, it gave birth to a group of top poets such as Wang Bo, Wang Zhihuan, Wang Changling, and Wang Wei, forming a dazzling feast in the history of Tang poetry. Is it accidental?

Therefore, although the reform of the imperial examination system strives to create a platform for fair competition for poor students, in the long run, after adapting to the imperial examination system, the inheritance of aristocratic families in education and knowledge will still give children of aristocratic families a special advantage in the examination.

Of course, the reform of the imperial examination is imperative, and fairness is the most important thing, and it can indeed enable many children of common people to enter the court.

It’s not that they were very outstanding, but that in the early Tang and prosperous Tang dynasties, high-ranking clans despised the scientific examination system and uphold the concept of medieval aristocrats. They mostly entered the officialdom with their family and did not accept the new way of becoming an official.

After the "Anshi Rebellion", the "Five surnames: regained their heads with the help of the imperial examination system.

For example, the Zheng family in Xingyang, since the middle Tang Dynasty, more than a dozen prime ministers and important officials appeared in succession, so the saying "Zheng Ban Dynasty" was said.

For example, the Lu family of Fanyang, especially since the Middle Tang Dynasty, more than 100 people have won the Jinshi, which is amazing.

All of this made Xu Qilin feel helpless and gradually changed his thoughts and original intentions.

Only by putting aside the proposition of suppressing aristocratic families can you have a broad vision. No matter what your background is, the only way to be able to be talented is to be the right way. No matter what your surname is, whether you are a high school or a cold family.

Xu Qilin stood upright, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, thought carefully and thought thoroughly.
