Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 219 A Letter of War to the Gentlemen of the World

In Ying Zheng's view, there was no need to make any adjustments to Zhao Yi's strategy.

He just needs to follow the advice Zhao Yi just gave and ask those people Zhao Yi said to compile the clan name tree.

[Actually, doing this is treating the symptoms but not the root cause, it can only disgust those aristocratic families. 】

[Of course, it is also to make people in the world no longer have the awe they once had for the aristocratic family. 】

[Therefore, it is still necessary to create a clan name list, especially the classification of the clans in the world, which will definitely attract people's attention! 】

[Demote the self-proclaimed No. [-] clan in the world, headed by the royal family with the surname Ying, and the relatives in the second class, and then those clans! 】

When Ying Zheng heard Zhao Yi's introduction, his eyes became brighter and brighter. He thought that what Zhao Yi had just said was very standardized, but he didn't expect that there were more details, which made him overjoyed.

With these details, Ying Zheng believes that when it is implemented, it will definitely achieve the best results.

Thinking like this, Ying Zheng became more and more excited, and almost slapped his thigh.

Feng Quji was already confused by Ying Zheng. Now he was even more surprised when he saw Ying Zheng standing motionless in front of him. He couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"Huh, huh? I'm fine, why would something happen to me, hahaha..." Only then did Ying Zheng withdraw from Zhao Yi's inner voice and return to reality.

"Well, right minister, I am thinking carefully about what you just said, Prince..."

Ying Zheng didn't give Feng Quji a chance to speak at all, and asked Zhao Yi directly, "Do you have any good ideas?"

The reason why Ying Zheng asked Zhao Yi in front of Feng Quji was to hope that Zhao Yi could tell about the family tree, but how could Zhao Yi let Ying Zheng do what he wanted?
Zhao Yi is determined to be a free fish. He thinks one thing in his heart, but actually operates another thing.

And he knew very well that once the matter of the clan name tree was revealed, Ying Zheng would definitely not let him relax, and would definitely let him preside over the editing of the clan name tree.

In the previous step of the dictionary, Kong Jia and Shusun Tong were almost about to step on the threshold of the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Yi would not continue to do this kind of thing, so he quickly thought of an excuse.

"Father, my son thinks that what the right minister said is very reasonable, but my son thinks that the father should brainstorm, it is better to invite the left minister, the doctor of the imperial history and several doctors in the palace to discuss it."

Hearing Zhao Yi's excuse, Ying Zheng knew that he could not count on the prince. Anyway, he knew everything he should know, so he simply let the prince go.

As soon as Zhao Yi left, Li Si and others came to the imperial study and saluted Ying Zheng one after another.

"I'm going to compile a "Genealogy of Clans"!" Ying Zheng's words stunned everyone.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng told the contents of the clan name tree to the officials present. After hearing this, the eyes of the officials enlarged for a while, and then they all became excited, and they almost clapped their hands.

"Your Majesty, it is really necessary to compile this family tree, and it must be done as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, in this way, the mystery of the world's gentry in the hearts of the people will disappear!"

"That's right, it's just that this clan name tree, who should compile it?"

Ying Zheng smiled and announced the candidates he had already drawn up, and the officials all agreed after hearing the words.

Li Si originally intended to object, but seeing that everyone present agreed overwhelmingly, he had no choice but to agree.

Anyone can see that the candidates given by Ying Zheng to compile the clan name tree are all people related to the gentry.

The officials present could also see that the purpose of Yingzheng's compilation of the clan pedigree was not only to break people's illusions about the gentry, but also to re-establish a new gentry system.

This can have a decisive effect on the presence of the ministers, the increase in the strength of their respective families, and the improvement of their respective status in the family.

Therefore, Feng Quji, Kong Jia and others all supported the compilation of the family tree.

Feng Quji even praised sincerely: "No wonder His Majesty has been thinking about the proposal just now. It turns out that His Majesty already has a better way. Your Majesty is really too wise."

"Okay, since that's the case, this matter is settled. The compilation of the clan name tree will be led by the left minister and the right minister. Confucius and the Guozijian will cooperate with each other. In addition to the list given by me just now, hurry up." to compile."

Under the ardent instructions of Ying Zheng, the official compilation process of "Clan Family Tree" began under the auspices of Li Si and others.

Just one month later, the first draft of "Clan Family Tree" was finalized, and after approval by Ying Zheng and others, the "Clan Family Tree" was finally finalized.

When Ying Zheng promulgated the "Clan Genealogy" at the court meeting, everyone in the court was shocked.

Of course, many people were pleasantly surprised, but more people were frightened, especially the officials of the old aristocratic families who came down from the court meeting, and their official robes were dripping with sweat.

No one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would be so ruthless, directly announcing the ranking of the gentry, and using this to humiliate the dignity of the world's old aristocratic families.

Originally, the Li family in Taiyuan joined forces with other established families to put pressure on the royal family, but they never expected that Ying Zheng would give them a sap before they even started.

The Xun family in Yingchuan is an absolutely old family, and it can be called the number one among the noble families in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that if anyone in the Xun family of Yingchuan sneezes, the sky of the world's aristocratic families will collapse!
It's just that the Xun family is extremely restless at this moment, and the family's principals are all gathered together.

"Patriarch, the imperial court has really gone too far. It's fine to make up a family tree quietly, but it's ridiculous to list my Yingchuan Xun family as a third-class family!"

"My Great Qin family should be headed by my Xun family. Now the Emperor of Great Qin has downgraded my Xun family to the third-class family in the world. What is the reason? What does he want to do?"

"Is it possible that because of the war of destroying the six kingdoms, I waited to remain neutral, and he has always held a grudge, so now he is starting to take revenge?"

The core members of the Xun clan were discussing in the Xun family compound.

Xun You, the contemporary Patriarch of the Xun family who was sitting at the top, waved his hand after listening to everyone's discussion calmly, and soon someone presented the things he had prepared long ago.

Xun You calmly opened the wooden box in front of him, and took out two things from it, "I believe you have seen these two things before, the Great Qin Dictionary, and the family tree!"

"This Daqin dictionary was compiled by Zhao Yi, the crown prince of the current dynasty, and Kong Jia, Shu Suntong and others participated in the compilation."

"As for this clan genealogy, it is said that Li Si, Ying Hong and others presided over the compilation, but the actual presider is the current Holy One!"

"Everyone, what the imperial court has done is clearly revealed. These two books are the imperial court's letter of war to the gentry in the world!"
