No one expected that Ye Chen would directly change the ancestor worship ceremony once every 12 years to once a year.
You should know that although the ancestor worship ceremony is of great significance, it is also a waste of people and money.
Then, an older member of the collateral branch in the crowd said: "Ye Chen... the ancestor worship ceremony is held every twelve years. It is a rule set by the ancestors. You have to change it to one year."
Once is too often, right? I personally think that it may not be a good thing for us to disturb the peace of our ancestors so frequently! If our ancestors are displeased, then this is a great disrespect to our ancestors!"
Ye Chen looked at him and said coldly: "Because it used to be once every twelve years, you guys named Ye have already forgotten your ancestors! Others said they would dig your ancestors' graves.
You all actually escaped from Yanjing overnight! Is this how you respect your ancestors?!"
The old man suddenly turned red and quickly shut his mouth.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Chen asked, "Why don't you speak? Weren't you quite able to speak just now?"
After that, Ye Chen pointed to the Ye family's ancestral grave behind him and asked him coldly: "Come on, in front of our ancestors, you can explain to them carefully how do you respect your ancestors?"
The old man said with shame: "I...I was wrong..."
Ye Chen said coldly: "Don't tell me! Come out and tell your ancestors yourself!"
The old man could only walk out of the crowd, facing more than a hundred tombs of the ancestors of the Ye family, and said with shame: "The ancestors of the Ye family are on top, and the unworthy descendant Ye Weiming is wrong! I hope my ancestors will forgive me!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly and ignored the old man. He continued to face the more than 700 branches of the Ye family in front of him and said sternly: "Don't think that you are the branches of the Ye family. I, the head of the main family, make demands on you."
, I’m just bullying you!”
After that, he pointed at Ye Changkong, Ye Changyun, Ye Feng, Ye Hao and others who were kneeling on one side, and said coldly: "Open your eyes and take a good look at these people kneeling next to you! All of them are
Members of the Ye family! Here are my uncles, my uncles, my aunts, and my cousins. They made mistakes and they still have to kneel here for three days and three nights!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Changkong and other members of the main Ye family lowered their heads in shame, while the more than 700 members of the collateral branches were also stunned!
Only then did they realize that Ye Chen's iron blood was not just for outsiders like them.
He was more cruel to his own family than to them!
Ye Chen continued to make shocking remarks at this time: "And I might as well tell you that most of them, from now on, will stay in Yeling Mountain for the next three years to observe filial piety for their ancestors!"
"In the next three years, even if there is a knife from the sky, they will not be allowed to leave even half a step!"
"Even if someone is seriously ill and needs to be admitted to the ICU, I will build the ICU for him in Yeling Mountain!"
When the Ye family members heard this, they all started to feel a little panicked. Just now, they thought Ye Chen was being cruel by letting his family kneel here for three days and three nights, but they didn't expect that there would be something even more cruel!
At this time, Ye Chen looked at them coldly and continued: "So you all listen to me. From now on, if any of you dare to betray the Ye family, or cause the Ye family to suffer losses, then you have one
If you count one of them, the end will definitely be worse than theirs!"
Seeing this, no one of the Ye family members dared to raise any objections to the ancestor worship ceremony.
The reason why Ye Chen holds an ancestor worship ceremony once a year is to continuously strengthen their loyalty to the Ye family through faster frequency, and at the same time let them understand the master-slave relationship between the Ye family and themselves, so that they can have the idea of loyalty to the emperor in their hearts.
, and then strengthen the Ye family's control over them.
