Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 341
Since Lin Sen can be called here, the role is self-evident. It is nothing more than relying on his reputation as a god-killer and his mighty performance to frighten the leaders of these alien races once again.

It's just that Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, didn't look very good the whole time. The Tang Dynasty almost became his sad place. He was about to make a powerful enemy for himself, and he lost his most important man here. function.

That contradictory expression mixed with arrogance, contempt and cowardice really made it hard for people to feel comfortable, especially when they saw Lin Sen as an enemy.

If it weren't for the consideration that Gaochang was also an important hub on the Silk Road leading to the Western Regions, for the sake of long-term benefits, Li Shimin might not have his place in front of him.

Lin Sen didn't want to waste too much time with these people, so he simply showed some real skills.

Relying on his super five senses, he was the first to spot the prey before others, and he also showed his super archery skills. They all shot through the eyes with an arrow, and they were killed immediately, making sure that their deerskins had no scars at all.

He was already well-known, but no leader of the foreign race would provoke him this time. Amidst the praises and praises of the leaders of the foreign race, after a sumptuous state banquet in peace, he slipped away. So I ran home to accompany Cheng Huaiyu.

Although she was a little pregnant and couldn't continue applauding for Ai, Lin Sen was still used to being by Cheng Huaiyu's side, even if he just hugged her and talked.

Even though Cheng Huaiyu wanted Lin Sen to bring her personal maid into the house, Lin Sen still clearly refused.

Although it is normal for men at this time, especially rich and powerful men, to do so.

However, Lin Sen's ideas are not the same as theirs after all, and he still can't have sex with a woman who has no emotional basis just to vent his desire.

Especially when the wife is still pregnant with a child, she would rather hold back by herself, or beat one out of five, rather than be a scumbag who cheated during pregnancy.

When Lin Sen once again closed the door and was living his own small life, another major event happened outside. He was pushed into the pit of God by him, and Kong Yingda, who replaced Gao Shilian in history as the editor-in-chief, was caught out without knowing it. After cutting off a lot of hair and beard, he finally produced a version of "Clan Records" approved by Li Shimin.

To ordinary people, this thing may not feel like it’s a big deal, at most, it’s just a matter of listening to it, but to those nobles and aristocratic families, it’s like dropping a big bomb into the calm water. , One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Because the "Clan Records" produced by Kong Yingda did not follow the previous practice of ranking by county prestige, but according to Li Shimin's intention, it was based on official positions and combined with the political power of the family.

That is to say, the more people in your family are officials, the more dignified you are, and it is not completely proportional to your influence in the local area.

The royal family of Li and Tang took the first place as a matter of course, and the relatives such as the eldest grandson's family were listed in the second class, and the third class was Fang's conspiracy to rule them out. The representative Shandong gentry even fell to the fourth class.

It caused anger and resentment before, not only the patriarch himself was punished to death by heaven, but also the power of his subordinates was wiped out. The Cui family fell out of the fourth class tragically.

The position of the head of the family is still vacant, and the Lu family, which is constantly fighting among themselves, almost followed in the footsteps of the Cui family.

This is actually very different from the historical clan chronicles, and the resulting effects are also quite different.

Because of the five surnames and seven Wangs in history, their prestige even surpassed that of the Li and Tang royal families, and everyone respected them.

But now after Lin Sen and Li Shimin's efforts, not only their prestige has been greatly weakened, their power has also been reduced a lot, and their influence has been reduced too much. side shrinks.This is also an important reason why Li Shimin dared to produce such a "Clan History".

With the supreme military exploits that just wiped out the Turks, he is intimidated here, and the big hat of "Heaven Khan" presented by countless foreign leaders, whether it is prestige or strength in his hands, is when he, the emperor, is the strongest .

Under the ebb and flow, Li Shimin is not afraid of their counterattack at all, let alone how big waves they can make.

Really not, he still has the two great artifacts of potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hands, no matter how great his reputation is, can he guarantee that everyone will not have to continue to starve, will the influence be great?

With the momentum of Datang's development now, if Li Shimin can ensure that everyone can have enough to eat, those ordinary people will follow those aristocratic families to rebel unless they have brains.

So Li Shimin was confident, and he even wished for someone to jump up and let him step on it, but he was worried that he couldn't find a reason to continue to punish them.

What's more, Li Shimin also deeply understands the principle of "one group against one group". While trampling on these Shandong gentry, he also gave some people a lot of sweetness.

Needless to say, the relatives are definitely Li Shimin's most staunch supporters in this matter.

Just talking about the Changsun family is very powerful, not to mention Changsun Wuji, such as Gao Shilian and Changsun Anye, etc., even Li Chengqian is surrounded by children of these Changsun families.

And those families that have also been promoted will definitely try their best to maintain their status. For example, the families of the several prime ministers under him, the Fang and Du families are also families of officials for many generations.

Another example is the Kong family in Qilu where Kong Yingda, who presided over the compilation, belongs.Ever since the slogan of overthrowing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism emerged, the Confucian family has had a very unique position.

Especially among literati, they have a huge appeal. After all, they are all students of the Kong family.

Even though they are not lifted as high as in the Song Dynasty, and even have the meaning of putting them on the altar, the Confucian family, as the founder of Confucianism, is still an existence that cannot be ignored.

This time Li Shimin simply put them at the top of the fourth class. Although it was inevitable that people would criticize in private that Kong Yingda, the editor-in-chief, was acting for his own benefit, but he really couldn't find a good reason to oppose the Kong family.

With the support of the Kong family, at least among literati, do they still need to have more recognition for this ranking?

Under the influence of such multiple factors, even though there are still many private discussions, it is rare that it did not cause too much backlash, at least it has gained a foothold in public opinion.

Of course, those aristocratic families who have been belittled in private will definitely not wait to be caught, and there must still be a lot of big and small moves.

But for Li Shimin, it all became a kind of fun.

I just like the way you guys see me very upset, but you still take me helplessly!
As for the appearance of the "Clan Records" and the resulting blow to the aristocratic families, Lin Sen is of course very happy to hear it.

But apart from strengthening his own defense, Lin Sen didn't need to do anything else.

It was another matter that really touched his mind.

　First of all, I want to sincerely apologize. I made a low-level mistake in the last chapter. I was a little confused at noon. I actually wrote Sun Simiao's work as "Compendium of Materia Medica", and now it has been changed to "Qian Jin Yao Fang". Sorry for the mistake!
　　Of course, I am also very grateful to my friends for their timely corrections, and all friends are also welcome to provide your valuable opinions and suggestions at any time.Once again, thank all my friends for their support and encouragement, thank you everyone!
