Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 435 Duan Xinyu's death is the fuse

At this point, there is nothing to hide.

Mr. Duan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he sorted them out a little. "First, I know that you have great ambitions and extraordinary abilities, and you can dominate a region. So, I will send the most promising descendants to the northwest to join your camp."

"Of course, just in case, I sent my second son's family to the northeast, my third son to the southwest, and my fourth son to the southeast. I bet on each force. No matter which force wins, my Duan family will be at the pinnacle of power."

Aristocratic families with some background will invest in multiple areas and not put all their eggs in one basket.

Mr. Duan is such a smart man that he has naturally arranged the future of each family.

No matter which side succeeds, the Duan family will enjoy prosperity and wealth forever.

But the problem lies with Ning Zhiwei.

"But I didn't expect you to go against the will of the world and massacre all the noble families. How dare you? You actually dare to do something that all the kings of previous dynasties dared not to do!"

This touches upon the foundation of the aristocratic families and concerns their life and death. As the leader of the aristocratic families, Mr. Duan will not sit idly by.

He and the aristocratic family share the same fate, and their honor and disgrace are related.

Ning Zhiwei's bright eyes were frank and open, "Anyone who stands in my way should not exist."

Aristocratic families only have the opportunity to take action in troubled times when social order is in chaos.

If this period passes and the rules are established, it will be difficult to carry out a large-scale killing spree, and stability will be the priority.

"A thousand-year-old aristocratic family may sound glorious, but behind the scenes, it is the exploitation of the people and the obstruction of the imperial power. You occupy a large amount of land, the right to speak, the best resources, and suck the blood and sweat of the people. But you have never made any contribution to this society. You only care about your own glory and wealth, and don't care about the hardship of the people or the rise and fall of the country."

"For you, the interests of your family are above everything else, above the imperial power, and above the lives of the common people in this world."

Mr. Duan couldn't help but interrupt, "When I was in power, I did a lot of good things for the country and the people. Your accusation is not fair to me."

Ning Zhiwei asked coldly, "Really? Then why do I only see the people's miserable lives? I only see the blood and tears of the soldiers at the border?"

She doesn't look at the process or the so-called benevolent governance, she only looks at the results.

No matter how nicely you speak, it will be useless if the people and soldiers don't have a good life.

Mr. Duan looked as pale as if struck by lightning.

You can't blame him for that. This country has long been plagued by problems, including political corruption, foreign enemies eyeing it covetously, and internal and external difficulties. No one can solve the problem.

Ning Zhiwei saw it and shook his head slightly. He didn't realize the problem at all.

Yes, the aristocratic families are used to being high and mighty and have never stepped down from the altar. How could they possibly understand the suffering of the lower class people?

"The existence of aristocratic families will only hinder the progress of history. It is better for them to disappear."

"You have always represented the interests of the family."

She looked very serious, "And I will not allow the aristocratic families to continue to influence the government and continue to play with the imperial power in their hands."

Her tone was firm, and Mr. Duan closed his eyes to hide the weakness in them.

Why are there such people in this world?

"But if the noble families disappear, new interest groups will emerge, and your subordinates will soon form a new alliance of the rich."

Ning Zhiwei had read history books. The rise and fall of dynasties was the law of history and no one could stop it.

"I know, so what? If they are obedient, keep them. If they go too far, get rid of them. Their foundation is not deep and is far inferior to the foundation of the aristocratic families."

In other words, it was very easy to deal with. It was just a matter of a word from her.

Unlike the aristocratic families, they did not take the imperial power seriously at all.

The faces of several young men were as pale as paper, looking more ghostly than ghosts. Are they all going to be executed?

Ning Zhiwei was too lazy to pay attention to these young people. She killed their fathers and brothers and confiscated all their property.

"What about the second?"

Mr. Duan smiled bitterly, "Xinyu's death was the trigger."

"I originally made very thorough arrangements. I wanted Xinyu to marry the Seventh Young Master Ning. In the future, she would be honored by her son. When she gave birth to a descendant of the Ning family, I would do my best to help him become the heir of the Ning family, the head coach of the Ning family, or even..."

He glanced at Ning Zhiwei obscurely. Ning Zhiwei was such a smart person that she said coldly, "My heir."

Mr. Duan once again sighed, why is his opponent Ning Zhiwei? If it were someone else, his plan would definitely succeed.

However, Ning Zhiwei is a man of great talent and strategy, and is a rare talent for an emperor.

The chances of winning against her are too small.

"Yes."

He sighed, "But man proposes, God disposes. She was too clever for her own good and made many stupid moves, which led to her death."

He advised her more than once to keep calm, not to rush, and just to have the last laugh.

Don't mess around. Cultivate your relationship with Ning Qishao and have more children. One more child means one more opportunity. Use calmness to overcome difficulties.

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, see who lives longer.

Ning Zhiwei is a very protective person. He doesn't have much affection for the female members of the family, but he is very caring towards the children of the Ning family.

However, Duan Xinyu listened but forgot as soon as she turned around and never changed.

When she saw that other children had been granted titles, she was afraid that her own child would not be able to catch up and would suffer.

She also wanted to fight for the Duan family and get more benefits.

If it were any other king, these would be trivial matters, but Ning Zhiwei would not indulge her and would not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes.

Ning Qishao's feelings for her are limited, and he will not fall out with Ning Zhiwei just to protect her.

"Once she died, my plans in the northwest were ruined. Brother Duan Chengqi was originally prepared for them and their son to assist the young master in the future."

"The Duan Chengqi brothers have mediocre qualifications. It is not enough for them to rely on their abilities to be appointed as marquises or prime ministers. They can only rise to the top through nepotism."

As long as you become a maternal relative and can protect the family for three generations, there will always be an outstanding descendant among these three generations.

Ning Zhiwei understood a little bit. He couldn't get much benefit in the new dynasty, and the aristocratic family was his foundation, so he wanted to help Su Mingjin to compete with her.

He had no other choice. The eldest prince in the northeast hated him to the core, and most of the southwest had already been taken over by her.

"Why do you have to be a noble or a prime minister? Being an ordinary official or governing a region and working for the welfare of the people is also a good choice. You can move up step by step and make steady progress."

Mr. Duan had a serious look on his face. "No one from the Duan family has entered the center of power. Once I die, the family will fall."

This is a reality that Mr. Duan cannot accept. He dreams of making the Duan family the number one family, forever prosperous and everlasting.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei said coldly, "But you are not dead yet. You are working so hard and are about to destroy the family."

Mr. Duan: ...

MD, this is so heartbreaking.
