Yu Zhong is Wei Wuji's trusted eunuch now, so it is natural for him to do things like announce the edict.

It's all right not to let everyone get up, but the imperial edict is going to be announced directly, which makes everyone in the hall even more panicked.

In their view, this edict should be the end of many people, and the monarch should have written all the punishments for everyone in the edict.

Unlike the officials of the family, Hu Hansan and the others were full of joy, thinking that this edict must be the content of their promotion of officials.

"Edict of the Monarch..."

The eunuch's mournful voice was recalled in the hall, but what he read was different from what the officials thought. It was about Wei Duoxun's conspiracy.

"...Although Duoxun is a disobedient minister, his crime should be punished. However, he is a brother of the widow, and the previous emperor once said that the widow should treat brothers kindly... The widow thinks twice, and sends Duoxun to the Zong Zhengfu, and he will be in the circle for life!"

The imperial edict was read so much, but it was Wei Duoxun's punishment, which made many people present heaved a sigh of relief, but those old guys who participated in the court meeting knew that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, the eunuch Yu Zhong picked up the second edict and read out: "The edict said... Although Duoxun committed a serious crime, he was instigated by others, and he made a big mistake..."

Well, just the first ten or so words of this edict made the hearts of those present who had ghosts in their hearts turn upside down. Is this moment finally coming?
"All the clans mentioned above will be dismissed from their lords, their families will be copied, the patriarchs and those who should be in charge will be executed, and the rest will be exiled to Wu Yang!" Yu Zhong read this, and the second edict was finished.

This edict is definitely the most murderous in the Wei Kingdom in the past few decades. It is dismissed, beheaded, and exiled. It can be described as murderous.

In this edict, a total of twelve families were named, which also indicated that they were about to face disaster.

They are all participants in Wei Duoxun's rebellion, and the one with the highest title even has a concubine.You know, there are only two levels above the Shuchang, Shangqing and Fengjun.

The second edict was closed, and all the officials in the hall were trembling.

These are twelve families that have been passed down for dozens or even hundreds of years, and they were defeated by an imperial edict like this. The dignified and noble people who were the nobles of Shaoqing were going to be beheaded like the poor and humble people.

But at this time, no one dared to stand up against Wei Wuji's imperial edict. They could only be thankful that they were not implicated and that the family could be preserved.

"Guards, bring the people from the twelve clans in, and let all the nobles present see what kind of virtue these rebellious officials and thieves are!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.

Soon, the guards brought in more than a dozen people from outside the hall. These clan lords who were usually pampered and pampered were now kneeling in the hall like dead dogs.

Although they were about to face the end of beheading, they still didn't dare to be disrespectful to Wei Wuji, because their nephews were alive, and they couldn't bring trouble to their descendants.

Seeing the desolate appearance of these people, all the elders of the aristocratic clan in the palace suddenly felt sad.

They immediately understood that the purpose of the monarch calling these people up was to show them, and that was the meaning of killing chickens to scare monkeys!
At this time, Wei Wuji stood up, and said slowly: "Zhuqing, look at these people... These people who dare to plot against you are the people around you!"

Until now, the ministers and generals in the hall are still kneeling on the ground, and Wei Wuji's words made many people feel even more stressed.

"But I feel that although these people are bold and reckless, there must be someone instigated behind them." Wei Wuji said lightly.

All the ministers in the palace who had breathed a sigh of relief just now suddenly felt overwhelmed. Could it be that the matter of punishing so many people is not over yet?

Looking at Wei Wuji's posture, he intends to drag more people into the water!

"And the instigator is among you!"

Wei Wuji took the position again, and then said in a deep voice: "No matter who is behind the scenes, as long as you take the initiative to stand up, I promise to give you a lighter punishment!"

Wei Wuji glanced at the officials, but saw that everyone was kneeling on the ground, and no one stood up and confessed!
Although this situation was predictable, Wei Wuji chose to ask again, in order to show everyone his tolerance.

Look, let you take the initiative to stand up and punish you lightly. If you refuse, then don't complain when you are caught and severely punished later.

Immediately, Wei Wuji sneered and said: "Some people, when they shouldn't be tough, their bones are tougher than anyone else!"

The ridicule in the monarch's tone made everyone feel uneasy. This depressive feeling is really too painful!

Although many people expected that this pilgrimage would be difficult, but when they actually experienced it, they realized that their thinking was too simple.

Death is not scary, the feeling of waiting to die now is the scariest!

After scanning the crowd at last, Wei Wuji said, "Since no one is willing to take the initiative to plead guilty...then let's announce the edict!"

And the edict?

Sure enough, Yu Zhong held out the third imperial edict, spread it out and read it out: "The imperial edict says...the Xie family has no ruler and father, and despises the discipline..."

The wording of this imperial edict is even more severe than before, and the target is directed at the Xie clan, almost describing them as animals that are not as good as pigs and dogs.

In the end, I heard Xu Zhong's sharp voice say: "...such an unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous family, even if they die, their crimes cannot be forgiven...the entire Xie family will be punished!"

Good guy, if the imperial edict just now is full of murderous spirit, then this one is directly dripping blood!
As one of the four major clans, the Xie clan is one of the banners of the Wu'an clan. The monarch actually issued an edict to punish the entire clan. This is not the case that the punishment of the twelve clans was much harsher.

The Xie family has deep roots, if it is true that the whole family is punished, it will cost hundreds of lives!

"Your Majesty, I've been wronged...the people of my family have been wronged!" At this time, Xie Linyun, whose face was pale with fright, staggered out of the train and kowtowed in the hall.

Wei Wuji said in a very regrettable tone: "Xie Qing, just now the widow said that if you plead guilty, you can be punished lightly..."

Now that Xie Linyun was in charge of this, he immediately straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, the clan of the ministers are all loyal and good. Even if they were hostile to you before, it was because each of them was their own master. Your Majesty succeeded to the throne. How dare we wait for it again?" Such a rebellious move!"

Although Xie Linyun said it sounded like that, Wei Wuji really didn't wrong him, but the Xie family was involved in Wei Duoxun's conspiracy.

Only the Xie family had such great energy, which influenced the thinking of the twelve big clans below, making them follow Wei Duoxun's chariot directly.

Seeing that Wei Wuji had no intention of speaking, Xie Linyun immediately turned his attention to his colleagues!
He first pushed Wang Jian beside him, but the old guy seemed to have fallen asleep, and he didn't respond to Xie Linyun's pushing anyway.

But at this moment, Wang Jian's heart is the same as Ming Jing's. He doesn't know whether the Xie family participated in Wei Duoxun's rebellion, but it is true that the Xie family is really used by the monarch.

Now speaking for the mortal man of the Xie family, he will only involve himself in it, so Wang Jian will not make a move!
If the lives of the Xie family and the twelve clans can be exchanged for the safety of everyone, then everything is worth it!
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister..." Xie Linyun stepped forward again in fear, and pulled the sleeve of Prime Minister Guo Liangdong.

Guo Liangdong did respond, and he only heard him say: "Xie Qing, you are to blame for this, no one else can help you!"

Sitting on Danbi's throne, Wei Wuji also felt that the heat was almost ready, so he winked at Yu Zhong who was on the side.

Yu Zhong took a step forward, and said: "Come here, drag all these criminals out and put them in death row!"

Everything is irreversible. Although the patriarchs of the other twelve clans are full of fear and resentment, they dare not show it yet, but Xie Linyun doesn't care about these at this time.

Xie's family is going to be punished by the whole family, he has no scruples anymore!

When being dragged out by the guards, Xie Linyun yelled, "Wei Wuji, you villain... you avenge yourself, you wronged your loyal minister..."

He seemed to feel that such scolding was not enough, so he heard Xie Linyun continue to scold: "You bastard, what qualifications do you have to sit on the throne, you bastard son of a bastard..."

"Presumptuous..." He heard a loud shout, and then there was a scream from outside the hall, but it was Zheng Dali who took Xie Linyun's jaw off with one hand.

Now, Xie Linyun couldn't scold anymore!

But this scene also scared all the officials kneeling outside the hall to death. They seemed to be able to feel some of the fear felt by the big shots in the hall at this time.

If there is no song in March, this is a blockbuster!This is what everyone thinks!
Originally everyone guessed that there would be a violent storm, but who would have thought that the violent storm would come so violently...

This wave alone knocked down the thirteen clans in Wu'an, and one of the four clans, the Xie family, was punished as a whole!
You know, when Zhaohou succeeded to the throne, he attacked the noble families, and that was just an excuse to kill them one by one, just like the one in front of him.

Inside the hall, it was as quiet as death, and all the officials kneeling on the ground were trembling at this moment... Even the generals who were waiting for the rewards realized that the monarch was no longer the Wu Yangjun!
The young man of His Majesty Dan, that is the monarch who can really decide the death of a person with one word... an existence that everyone must submit to!

"Xie Linyun uttered wild words, dragged him out of the palace gate, and beheaded immediately!" At this time, Wei Wuji's tone became even colder.

Xie Linyun called him a bitch, this is Wei Wuji's rebellion, which also made his anger reach its peak at this time.

Revenge is inevitable... This is Wei Wuji's latest feeling to everyone. Because of two curses, Xie Linyun was destined to be beheaded immediately.

After glancing at the ministers who were kneeling and worshiping under Majesty Dan, Wei Wuji tried his best to calm down before saying, "Yu Zhong, declare the imperial edict!"
