Seeing Gu Ning's curiosity, Xie Yan said: "Some aristocratic families are not worthy of their position. If they still occupy the front position, it will only make the families behind them feel resentful."
"What's more, nothing in this world is constant." Xie Yan said, "Families like the Zeng family and the Ming family, which use power for personal gain and use power to bully others, have no need to stay in the clan register."
Every emperor wants to weaken the power of the clan. How can he allow others to snore next to his bed?
The aristocratic family has been working hard for many years and their position is very solid, but as long as they can seize the opportunity, their power may not be weakened.
Xie Yan didn't know what he thought of. He lowered his head and looked at Gu Ning: "There is also the imperial examination."
"After I ascend the throne, the children of the aristocratic families who will join the official ranks can only be of the fifth rank."
When Gu Ning heard this, her heart thumped: "But they... I'm afraid they won't be willing."
Among the big families, there are very few people like Pei Chongfang who have been promoted by relying on their own strength. Most of the children of the family rely on the family's protection to get into official positions.
"At that time, your resistance will only be greater than adjusting the clan records." When Gu Ning said this, there was an obvious sadness between his eyebrows.
Xie Yan carried out drastic reforms as soon as he came to the throne, and the pressure he faced was by no means comparable to before.
Thinking of this, she frowned and whispered: "Actually, restructuring is not impossible, but if the step is too big, their counterattack will only become stronger."
After saying that, Gu Ning suggested: "How about doing the same thing first?"
However, Gu Ning saw the smile in Xie Yan's eyes.
After a moment, Gu Ning's eyes widened, she looked at Xie Yan intently and asked, "What you want is the Tiao Clan Records."
Xie Yan smiled, nodded slightly, and gently rubbed Gu Ning's head: "Ning'er is indeed smart."
Gu Ning snorted: "You are indeed cunning."
Clan records, like Biyin becoming an official, are the lifeblood of aristocratic families.
But in the face of Biyin entering the officialdom, the existence of the clan record is not so important. If you want to make the family prosperous for a long time, you can only let one generation after another enter the officialdom, contribute to the family and pave the way for future generations.
Xie Yan sighed softly: "This is also a helpless move."
An aristocratic family is like a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. Not only is it prosperous on the surface, but its roots buried deep in the soil are criss-crossed.
There is a network of relationships between every family, and the most effective way is to figure it out slowly.
Thinking of this, Gu Ning nodded: "In this way, as long as you throw yourself into the official position when they don't agree to modify the clan records, they will surrender."
"I will take care of these things before we get married."
Xie Yan suddenly spoke.
Gu Ning was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Xie Yan was trying to protect himself.
"But you are alone..."
"I am the future emperor." Xie Yan held Gu Ning's hand reassuringly, "They don't dare to do anything to me, but it's you... They can't touch me at all, and they will definitely turn their attention to others. .”
"And you and the Pei family are a thorn in their side." Xie Yan said softly, "Before we get married, I will definitely resolve this matter completely so that those families with ulterior motives will no longer have a chance to resist."
After Xie Yan said this, the two of them walked to Pei's carriage.
"You go back home first." Xie Yan helped Gu Ning onto the carriage and said warmly, "I will solve these matters for you."
Gu Ning was stunned: "You will solve it for me?"
"But they..."
"Ning'er, I know what you are planning." Xie Yan's big, knuckled hands held Gu Ning's wrist tightly, and he whispered, "You want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and warn others about the fate of the Ming family and the Zeng family. family."
"But it's not your job to do this." Xie Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Ning's beautiful eyes widened: "I heard that my aunt said that your wedding dress only lacks a few strokes of embroidery done by you yourself. ”
Hearing this, Gu Ning's fair cheeks turned red and she muttered in a low voice: "The phoenix is too difficult to embroider. If I add a few more stitches, the beautiful wedding dress will be ruined."
She really wanted to prepare her wedding dress as soon as possible!Who knew embroidering a wedding dress was so difficult!
Gu Ning puffed up her cheeks, looked at Xie Yan angrily and said, "I know you want me to go back quickly, but just say it, why bother mentioning my sadness."
"Then Ning'er is willing to go back?" Xie Yan asked.
Gu Ning snorted softly: "You have issued an eviction order, so of course I have to go back."
Her original intention was to use this incident to scare the monkeys. Since Xie Yan has come now, Xie Yan will do it herself.
She can also achieve her original purpose.
So Gu Ning waved to Xie Yan: "Then I'll go back first."
She got into the carriage, and just as the coachman was driving the carriage to leave, the curtain was suddenly opened by her.
Gu Ning's dazzlingly beautiful face had a bright smile: "Grandma said that you and I are getting married soon, so it's not appropriate to meet."
"From today on, you and I can't meet each other." Gu Ning said seriously, "See you on the wedding day."
After saying that, Gu Ning signaled the driver to leave.
The coachman was sweating coldly behind his back, fearing that Xie Yan would be angry with him. Fortunately, after Xie Yan heard this, he just smiled helplessly and watched the carriage go away.
Yue Rong and Yue Minghou were at the side. Before they could think of how to comfort Xie Yan, they heard Xie Yan say, "I'm not going back to the palace tonight. I'm going to live in Xie's Mansion."
The two brothers looked at each other and looked up to the sky without words.
On the surface, he wanted to stay in the Xie Mansion, but in fact, he wanted to see Gu Ning. They all understood.
At this time, in the back garden of Zeng Mansion.
After Xie Yan and Gu Ning left, the garden was filled with silence, and no one dared to speak.
The first person to speak was Miss Qi.
She looked Zeng Feihong up and down. She originally had a good relationship with Zeng Feihong and regarded Zeng Feihong as her close friend. But now when she saw Zeng Feihong, she only felt that two words were written all over Zeng Feihong - hypocrisy.
"Miss Zeng, I will tell my elders exactly what you did to me when I go back!" Miss Qi snorted coldly, "I will never let it go just like that if you hurt me!"
Zeng Feihong's already pale face became even more gloomy because of Miss Qi's words.
She quickly grabbed Miss Qi's hand and tried to tell her difficulties.
"That's not the case! Listen to my explanation..."
"Ms. Zeng, do you want to say that the words that come out of your mouth are also false?"
Miss Qi threw her hand away impatiently, her eyes filled with disgust.
Just now, Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi exchanged words with each other, and they had almost explained the nasty things they had done secretly. She was not a fool, and she would believe Zeng Feihong's words!
Miss Qi's eyes became colder: "Instead of explaining to me, you should think about how to apologize to Princess Changning!"
"Our Qi family's background is not as good as yours, and I'm afraid we won't be able to cause much trouble to your Zeng family, but Princess Changning is different!" Miss Qi sneered, "The eldest princess will not just watch her most beloved granddaughter being bullied. "
After saying that, Miss Qi took several of her good sisters and turned around to leave the Zeng family.
But at this moment, a tall figure left and returned.
Seeing Xie Yan, everyone was stunned.
But now, Gu Ning was no longer around Xie Yan.
Ming Jingyi and Zeng Feihong have known each other for many years. Even though their relationship is hypocritical, their plans in their hearts are exactly the same.
They looked at each other and saw calculation in each other's eyes.
"Your Highness!" Zeng Feihong spoke first, with a very gentle voice, "Listen to my explanation!"
As Zeng Feihong said this, she lifted up her skirt and hurried towards the Xie Banquet.
Not to be outdone, Ming Jingyi also ran to Xie Yan.
For the two of them, Xie Yan is now their only life-saving straw.
If their behavior affects the entire family, then they have only one way to go - they can only stay with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of their lives.
Seeing Xie Yan go and come back, the two of them suddenly had the same thought - that is, Xie Yan must have feelings for them, but because of the kindness of the Pei family, he had no choice but to pretend to be in front of Gu Ning. Look ruthless.
Is there any man in this world who is not greedy?
With this thought in mind, Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi eagerly walked to Xie Yan.
"Your Highness! I really have never done those things!" Zeng Feihong burst into tears. Looking down from above, he looked even more pitiful.
As she spoke, she kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and stared at Xie Yan: "I am just a weak woman, how can I dare to harm other people?"
"I don't know what happened today, but I actually said these words! But this was all manipulated!"
"Being manipulated?" Xie Yan spoke in a low voice.
Zeng Feihong nodded quickly, not forgetting to pull Ming Jingyi aside to make his words more credible: "My daughter has never been such a cruel person!"
"Although my relationship with Miss Luo is not close, I would not do such a crazy thing! Miss Ming can testify!"
By this time, the two seemed to have become a pair of good sisters.
Ming Jingyi ignored the sarcastic looks from the people around her. She kept nodding her head and said in a firm voice: "My maid smelled a strange aroma at that time. I'm afraid it was the aroma that controlled us!"
After saying that, Ming Jingyi's eyes kept drifting towards the incense burner in the pavilion.
Everyone present also looked at the incense burner.
Someone among them said cautiously: "How do I remember... we didn't see this incense burner when we came here before?"
"It seems that Princess Changning brought it."
Hearing people around her mention Gu Ning, Ming Jingyi felt happy, pretending to be weak and helpless, and whispered: "I heard that Princess Changning had a good relationship with a Gu master in southern Xinjiang..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Xie Yan's eyes suddenly turn cold across from her.
Instantly, a chill ran down her spine, and she quickly said: "My daughter is not doubting the princess, but I feel that since the princess has such a powerful Gu master, we might as well invite her out."
"In this way, we can understand why Sister Zeng and I were manipulated."
Ming Jingyi was very sure that the reason why she said those words was because Gu Ning was using the Gu Master around him to cause trouble.
And as long as the existence of that Gu Master is revealed, Gu Ning will definitely be rejected by Xie Yan.
Which high-ranking man would be willing to be around a woman with such weird tricks?
Ming Jingyi had a good plan in mind, but Xie Yan didn't speak after hearing these words.
Suddenly, Ming Jingyi murmured in her heart.
Zeng Feihong saw that the atmosphere had calmed down and said hurriedly: "The princess is kind-hearted, will she still not help us?"
"I just want to ask the master next to the princess to come over and check it out. The princess won't be so stingy, right?"
Zeng Feihong thought that her little thoughts were well hidden, but she didn't know that Xie Yan had already seen through her plan.
Miss Qi had not left since the Xie Banquet arrived. Seeing the sudden change in the situation, her face became ugly.
As both women, she understood Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi better. They were by no means as innocent as they appeared!
What's more, when Zeng Feihong was exposed by Ming Jingyi that Baohua Temple pushed her down the mountain, the panic on Zeng Feihong's face was definitely not fake!
The time she was pushed down the mountain must have been done by Zeng Feihong!
Zeng Feihong was so ruthless just for the Huang family's marriage, so the methods she used to get into the palace as a concubine would only become even more ruthless!
She just hesitated for a moment and then said: "If it is really a poison, why does the poison keep staring at you? Are we okay?"
"What's more, you knew how to fight each other at that time and prevent the other party from saying anything that would damage your reputation. How do you look like you were controlled by a worm?"
"What's more, nothing in this world is constant." Xie Yan said, "Families like the Zeng family and the Ming family, which use power for personal gain and use power to bully others, have no need to stay in the clan register."
Every emperor wants to weaken the power of the clan. How can he allow others to snore next to his bed?
The aristocratic family has been working hard for many years and their position is very solid, but as long as they can seize the opportunity, their power may not be weakened.

Xie Yan carried out drastic reforms as soon as he came to the throne, and the pressure he faced was by no means comparable to before.

After saying that, Gu Ning suggested: "How about doing the same thing first?"
However, Gu Ning saw the smile in Xie Yan's eyes.
