Looking back now, it was basically those aristocratic families that fell into Chen Xi's hands, and then Chen Xi took action to deal with them. As for Chen Xi proactively attacking, it almost never happened.
Of course, dragging those who opposed back into line and pulling them forward doesn't really count as Chen Xi targeting them from any perspective.
To this day, the major aristocratic families have a pretty good understanding of Chen Xi's nature. His governance ability is very strong, but his temperament is rather soft. He basically always targets issues rather than people, making him someone who can truly lead everyone forward. However, he is not an outstanding leader himself and cannot be decisive in killing.
Yet, because of this, the major aristocratic families have obeyed Chen Xi's command until now, because he is strong enough and has a good personality.
