If Yuan Shao is Clan Extermination, then some of their relatives will also die, which is undoubtedly what they don't want to see.
But Liu Xie's attitude is so firm...
Yang Biao thought about it again and again, and decided to ask, because his wife is also from the Yuan Clan, and is the great-granddaughter of Yuan An. According to seniority, she is the sister of Yuan Shu Yuan Shao. (ps: It is also said that she is the daughter of Yuan Shu)
Although she is married and is not within the scope of Clan Extermination, the relationship between the two parties is inextricably linked, and he cannot see Yuan Clan Extermination after all.
Just when Yang Biao was about to stand up, Yang Xiu on the side grabbed him tightly and shook his head at him with a pale face.
"Father, no."
Yang Xiu's eyes were full of fear, and he tried his best to lower his voice, even trembling slightly, "Father, don't you understand yet? Your Majesty is deliberately using Yuan Shao to lure out the unstable family power in Imperial Court. Your Majesty... is going to kill people."
"If my father comes forward now, he will die!"
Yang Xiu didn't want to plead for mercy, but he just accidentally caught a glimpse of Liu Xie's eyes and was shocked by the indifference contained in them.
He suddenly understood why Son of Heaven was going to court to judge Yuan Shao today, and why Son of Heaven, who was usually calm, was so angry that Yuan Shao said a few words today.
This is Son of Heaven testing Court Officials.
After such a test, those among Imperial Court who had some connection with Yuan Shao, those who were deeply involved, those who were dissatisfied with Son of Heaven, and those who dared to challenge the majesty of Imperial Authority, all jumped out.
At this moment, no matter who asks for mercy, he will become a sacrifice used by Son of Heaven to consolidate the majesty of Imperial Authority!
Even his father Yang Biao is no exception!
Although Yang Biao is old, his political wisdom is still there. He suddenly realized it when he heard Yang Xiu's reminder.
He looked at Fu Wan next to him again.
This old guy lowered his eyebrows, looked at his nose, and looked at his heart. He had no intention of speaking at all. Apart from scolding Yuan Shao at the beginning, this old guy didn't say anything else.
After some hesitation and confusion in his mind, he finally followed Yang Xiu's advice and remained silent.
On the other side, Xun Chen is also hesitant.
Although he felt that it was a bit dangerous to speak at this time, there were also children in his family who had married into the Yuan Clan. Even if they were now seeking refuge with Son of Heaven, the interests of both parties were deeply involved and they would not be able to fight for a long time. He could not turn a blind eye to the Yuan Clan and Clan Extermination.
"It doesn't hurt to ask for advice."
Xun Chen thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart. After all, his achievements are there. He brought Ji Province and a group of aristocratic families to invest.
Even if Liu Xie cannot be persuaded, at most he will only be reprimanded for a few words.
Is it possible that Son of Heaven dares to kill him just because of a word?
Thinking of this, Xun Chen felt reassured and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Clan Extermination, please think twice about it. After all, there are many innocent people..."
"Zheng--"
There was a crisp sound of drawing a sword.
Cut off his voice.
Liu Xie took out the Son of Heaven Sword from his waist and threw it casually under the stairs. Son of Heaven Sword inserted it diagonally into the Great Hall ground. The sword blade of Eight-Faceted Han Sword flashed with a cold light.
Everyone was stunned.
Liu Xie crossed his hands, glanced at Lü Bu, and said lightly, "Duke Wen, what are you waiting for?"
He didn't want to kill Xun Chen, let alone Xun Chen.
But Xun Chen ignored the warning, interceded for the Yuan Clan, and ignored the majesty of Son of Heaven, so he had to be killed.
Lü Bu immediately understood what Liu Xie meant, stepped forward, pulled Son of Heaven Sword out of the ground, and slashed at Xun Chen with his sword without hesitation!
"Tsk--!"
In Court Officials's horrified eyes, Lü Bu killed Xun Chen with a sword, and blood was sprinkled all over Lü Bu, making him look like a demon god coming to the world.
Xun Chen's head fell into a pool of blood.
There was still a look of confusion on his face.
After beheading Xun Chen, Lü Bu stood under the imperial steps with his sword, looking at everyone with eager eyes. As long as anyone dared to speak again, he would go up and kill anyone!
There was silence among the Great Hall.
Everyone was stunned.
No one expected that Xun Chen just asked for mercy and was beheaded without even finishing the words!
So cruel!
The ministers who were originally prepared to plead with Xun Chen all turned pale with fright, especially Yang Biao and Cui Yan, who were even more panicked.
Xun Chen, that's Xun Chen!
The mastermind who once served under Yuan Shao!
What's more important is that Xun Chen once led Ye City and a group of aristocratic families to seek refuge with Son of Heaven, but those who had made great contributions were actually... killed like this?
He was killed just like that!
Blood flows.
Liu Xie glanced at the headless corpse of Xun Chen, and said expressionlessly, "Xun Chen resisted the decree and disrespected it, and has been killed by Duke Wen."
"Dear ladies, do you still have any requests for mercy?"
No one dared to answer.
As quiet as a cicada.
Only then did the majestic look reappear on Liu Xie's face, and he said, "The thief Yuan Shao has committed the heinous crime of treason and is unpardonable, Implicate the Entire Clan!"
"Immediately order Duke Wen to lead Three Thousand Troops to capture Yuan Clan Members, and kill him at Execution Ground ten days later! Let the world know the fate of rebellious officials and traitors!"
"At that time, I will go to watch the execution in person!"
After formally issuing the decree, Liu Xie lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Yuan Shao who looked dull, and showed a warm smile.
"Benchu, are you satisfied with my decision?"
"Don't worry, I will keep you alive for the time being and let you watch how Yuan Clan is Clan Extermination; when I send my troops south next year, I will use your head to Flag Sacrifice."
Killing Nine Clans and Ten Clans are all excuses.
His real purpose is only Yuan Clan.
To cut off the weeds, we need to get rid of the roots. Yuan Clan's Disciples and Former Subordinates are all over the world. If they are not exterminated, he will feel uneasy.
Yuan Xi's face was covered with blood. After hearing this, he looked at Yuan Shao with red eyes, rushed forward, grabbed his collar and cursed angrily, "You Yuan Clan sinner! You have harmed the entire Yuan Clan!"
"Why do you have the face to see me Yuan Clan Ancestors after you die! You old beast who has been stabbed a thousand times! Why don't you kowtow to Your Majesty to apologize!"
"Hurry up and apologize to Your Majesty!"
If Liu Xie hadn't said that he wanted to save Yuan Shao's life, he would have wanted to strangle Yuan Shao to death here right now!
That is Yuan Clan Entire Family's life, and that is the foundation for Imperial Court's future.
From the moment Lü Bu killed Xun Chen, he realized that Son of Heaven was not joking, but really wanted to attack them Yuan Clan Entire Family!
Yuan Xi shook Yuan Shao's collar crazily, trying to get him to apologize to Liu Xie and agree to be Offer Surrender Terms Bing Province and You Province's old friend.
"Impossible, he would never dare to do this! I, Yuan Clan Four Generations of Three Excellencies, how dare he kill me, Yuan Clan Entire Family!"
"No way!"
Yuan Shao's face was pale. Although he felt strong panic and uneasiness in his heart, he still refused to believe that Liu Xie dared to do this.
This will offend Literati all over the world!
As cruel as Dong Zhuo was, he didn't dare to do this back then. He just killed his Uncle Yuan Wei family of about twenty people.
"Then let's wait and see."
Liu Xie waved his hand casually, and Zhang He and Gao Lan immediately stepped forward and dragged Yuan Shao out of the Tai'an Hall.
He walked up to Yuan Xi, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are loyal to me and have made a lot of contributions. I will name you Minister of Works. Yuan Clan, and the new Yuan Clan will start from you."
"Don't let me down."
After that, regardless of how the frustrated Yuan Xi reacted, he walked straight out of the Great Hall.
Chapter 265 Jia Xu: Fengxiao, seeing through Your Majesty's thoughts is a recipe for death
"How could this be so, how could this be so..."
Yuan Xi knelt on the ground slumped, muttering to himself with his eyes blank.
He hated Yuan Shao so much. If Yuan Shao hadn't been so outrageous, how could Yuan Clan be killed by his clan?
He is currently ranked Three Excellencies. If Yuan Clan is there, then Yuan Family is the extremely prominent Five Generations of Three Excellencies!
But now, everything has been ruined by Yuan Shao!
After a long time, Yuan Xi stood up with dull eyes, like a zombie, walked out of the Tai'an Hall with heavy steps, and stepped into the heavy snow.
Court Officials who was retreating along the way all moved away from him when they saw him, and no one dared to approach him, as if they were avoiding the god of plague.
Guo Jia and Jia Xu are also walking on the road.
Looking at Yuan Xi's back, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Yuan Shao is obsessed with it and tries to use the power of the family to make Your Majesty compromise. Clan Extermination's fate is really his own fault."
"Wenhe What do you think?"
Jia Xu glanced around and didn't answer. He just smiled and said, "It's snowing heavily today. Fengxiao Why don't you come to my house and sit down? You and I haven't been together for a long time."
Guo Jia's eyes moved slightly and he smiled.
"Good!"
Jia Residence, Back Courtyard.
After returning to the house with Guo Jia, Jia Xu ordered the servants to set up the stove, brought plates of chopped mutton and warmed Wine, and invited Guo Jia to sit down.
"Eat Hot Pot hot-boiled mutton during heavy snowfall."
"You old man will enjoy it."
