A night passed, and the sky was slightly cool.

All the officials were waiting at the palace gate for the morning court session.

Many of them looked a little ugly. Without exception, they were all from old aristocratic families.

They had seen the scene of the flying boat entering the city last night with their own eyes, which meant that what Xiuxian said was true, and the royal family did control that unimaginable power.

In other words, the royal family no longer needed to rely on the support of these powerful families in the future. The situation was no longer the same as in the previous dynasty, and the power of these aristocratic families would be greatly reduced in the future!

"Zhijie, Jingde, your Chumo and Baolin have made great contributions this time. They traveled hundreds of miles to transfer troops from Lanzhou to Liangzhou. I believe that His Majesty will reward them in the morning court today."

"Brother Qin, you are too kind. Huaiyu's performance this time was really impressive. I heard that he and the kid from the Du family led the first battle."

"Yes, this time……"

Unlike the officials of the old nobles, the new nobles like Cheng Yaojin gathered together, talking and laughing. They had learned a lot of details about the battle from the sons of each family, and they were in a good mood.

On the other side, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also chatting together.

"I didn't expect that the immortal cultivation that His Majesty summoned us to the palace that day was actually true."

"Yes, it's ridiculous that we thought your Majesty was deceived by a charlatan."

"Your Du He is so lucky. I am so envious."

"No, no, they just got to know each other as good brothers because they loved playing together since they were young."

Du Ruhui now seemed to be in a dream. He never thought that his unlucky son would have such an opportunity. Cultivating immortals, this is the top secret controlled by the royal family.

The officials at the palace gate were waiting in this environment with different atmospheres. Not long after, a eunuch came to announce that the time had come and they could enter the palace.

Soon, all the officials moved from the palace gate to the Taiji Hall. At this time, the emperor had not yet taken his seat, but all the officials had already gathered.

After a few minutes, the whole court gradually quieted down. Then, the old eunuch Wang De appeared, and then the emperor came on stage.

What happened next was not much different from what everyone imagined. The old eunuch Wang De held a piece of silk and told everyone about the situation and results of the battle.

After everyone understood the general situation, the emperor began to speak.

""What do you think of Xian Tang Wei?"

Li Shimin smiled. It was obvious that Xian Tang Wei had become Li Shimin's treasure. Now it seemed that he was asking questions to the officials, but in fact he was just showing off his muscles and telling everyone how terrible Xian Tang Wei was.

"The Xian Tang Guards are the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, unrivaled in the world."

"Our Tang Dynasty has the immortal Tang Wei, so the country will be stable. Your Majesty is truly a sage king of all ages."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Undoubtedly, no one would make themselves unhappy at this time. Except for those who had integrity and did not speak, the rest of the people began to flatter and flatter Li Shimin happily.

"Well, then I will announce some decisions next."

After being flattered by the flatterers, Li Shimin began to announce the resolution.

He first asked Wang Dexuan to bring several heroes of this battle, namely Li Tai, Cheng Chumo and others. As for Zhang Gongjin, who was far away in Guannei Road, someone would bring the imperial edict to announce the reward after the morning court.

The first reward was naturally given to Li Tai and others. They were all incorporated into the sequence of Xian Tang Wei. Among them, Li Tai was directly named the general of Xian Tang Wei and took charge of Xian Tang Wei for the Tang Dynasty, while Cheng Chumo and the other four were formally incorporated into Xian Tang Wei and received the reward of Zhaowu deputy lieutenant. They all became sixth-rank officials.

At this time, Zhang Gongjin, who was still in Guannei Road, was rewarded with a promotion of one level. He chose a day to rush to Chang'an, which was also a free reward.

After the reward, it was naturally the punishment.

"Take away the rebel prince Li Youliang!"

Everyone could feel that when Li Shimin called out the name of the rebellious prince, he was obviously a little angry. Since ancient times, no emperor could tolerate others rebelling against him.

A few minutes later, Li Youliang was dragged into the hall with a dazed face, and listened to Li Shimin announcing his charges in a daze. After a few minutes

, Li Youliang was dragged out in a daze again, and was dragged to the outside of the Xuanwu Gate, and was directly chopped.

During this period, he did not say a word. Of course, this was not because he had lost the will to survive, but because he was hung outside the flying boat for several hours last night. At this moment, he was infected with a serious cold. The whole person was in a semi-comatose state with fever. He didn't understand what happened until he died...

At this moment, it seemed that everything had been dealt with, and everyone was waiting for the emperor to say that sentence:"If you have something to report, please report it. If you have nothing to report, please withdraw the court."

However, at this moment, Li Shimin spoke again.

"Now that the Tang Dynasty is about to enter the path of the Immortal Tang Dynasty, some things in the past are no longer suitable for continued use. I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to revise the"Clan Records" a few days ago. Today, the revision has been completed. Please read it."

Li Shimin smiled and asked a group of eunuchs to give everyone present a copy of the latest customized"Clan Records". After reading this, a large group of people turned green.

《The"Clan Records" defines the hierarchy of surnames in the world and demonstrates the political power of aristocratic families.

In the original"Clan Records", the aristocratic families were almost all in the first class, the rest of the small families were second, and the common people were the last.

But after Li Shimin's revision this time, only the Li Tang royal family was in the first class, and the second class was the foreign relatives, the Changsun family, and the emerging nobles such as Qin, Cheng, Yuchi, Du, and Fang. The original aristocratic families were directly placed in the third class, and the last were ordinary surnames.

This immediately made the group of nobles who had been appeased furious.

You know, the order of arrangement in the"Clan Records" affects the priority of official selection. Although the reduction of one's own surname will not have a big impact in the short term, it is a major event that affects future generations of heirs.���

Therefore, officials from the Five Surnames and Seven Families, such as the Cui family, were ready to make a memorial.

However, at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly burst out with the aura of an immortal cultivator, and at the same time, a fire dragon was faintly circling in the hall. It was obvious that Li Shimin wanted to rely on the momentum of the Xian Tang Wei's great victory to defeat the aristocratic system of aristocratic families.

Li Shimin was very good at using force to suppress others.

These officials felt that they had a hard time speaking, but they dared not say anything, for fear that Li Shimin would directly throw the fire dragon at them.

In the end, everyone chose to remain silent, and decided to take the long view without saying a word.

In this way, the morning court ended successfully, and everyone left the palace one by one.

Originally, Li Tai was going to call Cheng Chumo and others to go to the"Zuixianlou" to relax, but as if something happened suddenly, his face changed, and he returned to the Qingque Palace.

"Hey, what's wrong with this kid? Why is he so anxious?"

Li Yuan, who was by the pond, glanced in Li Tai's direction, a little curious.

At this moment, Li Tai went straight into the forum as soon as he returned to the room. Something big happened in the forum!
