And those nobles deeply rooted in the Jin Dynasty were anxious just for their lives when Bai Qingyan ascended the throne...
The Vassal Kings originally thought Bai Qingyan, upon her ascension, needed to stabilize the situation and intended to challenge her. But Bai Qingyan swiftly and decisively cleared them out. Until now, she hasn't supported new nobles in the royal court. Her maternal Dong family is needless to mention, and her aunts also restrained their own maternal families from becoming too powerful.
Since Bai Qingyan ascended the throne, she has only recently ennobled her younger siblings. Besides planning to provide them positions after eliminating Xiliang, it is also to demonstrate to the court officials and give the aunts an excuse to suppress their maternal families when seeking positions.
At present, Bai Qingyan isn't unaware that because she ennobled her siblings, even those "relatives" in her aunts' families have become ambitious.
