Chang Wansen watched his mother being killed and his wives and concubines being beheaded.
I watched with my own eyes as my blood relatives wailed in despair and died in the wailing.
There were one hundred and fifty-six members of the Chang family, and only a dozen people survived in the end.
Chang Wansen's liver and gallbladder were split, but it was his son who caused this result.
Chang Wansen suddenly turned around and looked at Chang Qing, who was on the ground as if he was dumbfounded. He suddenly stood up and rushed towards Chang Qing, "It's all because of you, the unfilial son. I asked you to die just now. Why didn't you die? I'm going to do it with my own hands today.
Kill you."
Chang Wansen was really crazy now and wanted to kill Chang Qing with his own hands.
However, the officers and soldiers stopped him and immediately pushed Chang Wansen to the ground again.
At this moment, except for the dozen or so people in the Chang family who had not done any bad things and saved their lives, the rest of them were dead.
Only Chang Wansen and Chang Qing, father and son, were left.
Everyone was trembling with fright at this bloody and terrifying scene. Today they had fully witnessed the ruthlessness of the new Emperor Dawu.
This is simply devilish, but no one dares to say a word no.
They even had to resist vomiting, and most of the people endured it with pale faces.
No one wants to be buried with the Chang family.
At this time, when they saw Chang Wansen trying to kill his son, no one thought there was anything wrong.
If it were their son, he would also wish to kill him as soon as possible. Who can bear it if one person cheats the whole family to death?
But seeing Chang Qing's empty eyes now, everyone couldn't help but feel chilled.
Death may be the real relief for Chang Qing. The new emperor forced Ouyang Shui to pull him from the gate of hell and let him take a breath, just to let him see with his own eyes how he killed this person.
The lives of more than a hundred people.
This made everyone look at Wu Yuan with fear in their eyes. This new emperor was simply a devil.
Killing people and killing people's hearts is nothing more than that.
In the end, when Chang Qing watched Chang Wansen's head being chopped off, he suddenly looked up to the sky and howled before dying.
It was clear that there was still a moment before a stick of incense was left, but Chang Qing could no longer bear the huge pain and died.
That wailing sound made everyone shudder. Even Li Yindi collapsed and peed again.
The faces of the Zhao family's father and son were also pale, and the fear in their eyes could not be concealed at all.
This is the new emperor of Dawu, who is even more ruthless than the previous Emperor Wu.
Wu Yuan didn't know that after today, his reputation as a tyrant would spread like wildfire.
But even if Wu Yuan knew it, he would just laugh it off. He didn't care about reputation at all.
Today's killing of more than a hundred members of the Chang family was Wu Yuan's biggest killing besides war.
Not only because he almost died, but also because Murong Haitang almost lost his life.
The fact that he and Murong Haitang survived was largely a matter of luck.
What Wu Yuan did today was also to tell those who were planning to assassinate him to think carefully before killing him.
Especially the Guiyuan sect, who is so serious about it, do you really think he doesn't dare to use the knife?
"Haitang, do you think I'm cruel?" Even though Wu Yuan knew he had to do this, his mentality at the moment was a bit dazed.
Murong Haitang shook his head, "No, you are the emperor. Being kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself. If something happens to you, no one in the East Palace will survive."
Murong Haitang, as a princess of the former dynasty, had experienced family destruction and death, and she knew the way to be a king.
He also understood Wu Yuan's current mood, "Your Majesty will not kill innocent people. This is enough to be worthy of heaven and earth."
Ouyang Shishi and Ouyang Shu, who were standing not far away, also nodded secretly when they heard Murong Haitang's words.
Although today's scene was very bloody, assassinating the emperor was a serious crime that implicated the nine clans.
Not to mention, Wu Yuan only killed blood relatives of the Chang family this time, and the others were all people who had been accused of doing bad things.
This is enough to show that Wu Yuan is definitely not a fatuous tyrant who kills innocent people indiscriminately. It is just a matter of kindness and wisdom. In the eyes of others, Wu Yuan is cruel.
At this time, Yan Miao came forward and asked, "What should the Zhao family and his son do?"
Upon hearing Yan Miao's words, the Zhao family's father and son over there immediately crawled over.
Zhao De kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, my son Zhao Kuan didn't know your identity at the Peacock Palace yesterday and had a lot of conflicts. Please forgive me. My son has realized his mistake and is willing to cut off his hand to reflect on himself and repent."
Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, Zhao Kuan was heartbroken and cut off one of his own hands with a knife.
"Ruthless enough!" Wu Yuan thought to himself.
Zhao Kuan gritted his teeth and looked at Wu Yuan with sweat on his face, "Your Majesty, Zhao Kuan, a humble citizen, has really realized his mistake and asks for your forgiveness."
Others were also frightened when they saw it. Is it so cruel?
But when I think about it, if I can save my life, it would be worth it to break off my hand.
Wu Yuan took a deep look at the Zhao family and his son, and then said with a smile: "Ignorance is not a crime, but your hand was cut off a little hastily."
Zhao Kuan's mouth twitched, so Wu Yuan didn't intend to blame him?
For a moment, I was filled with hatred, but his father Zhao De didn't think so. He had just been suspected of instigating Chang Qing to assassinate Zhao Kuan. Although the Chang family and his son were dead now, it was impossible for the new emperor not to pursue the case.
Killing the father and son was just a matter of words, and I'm afraid no one would dare to say no.
It was out of this consideration, and at the same time knowing that Liu Baichuan and other veterans could not be counted on, that he was so decisive in letting Zhao Kuan kill himself.
So even if Wu Yuan said this now, Zhao De thought in his heart that as long as the matter could be settled, it would be worth it.
Wu Yuan seemed to have no intention of touching the Zhao family and his son. He just waved his hand and said, "Go back and see the injury quickly."
After hearing Wu Yuan's words, Zhao Deru was granted amnesty and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Zhao Kuan hesitated for a while before kowtowing along with him, but the moment he lowered his head, there was resentment in his eyes.
It is unclear whether he resents Wu Yuan or his father.
Others couldn't believe it when they saw that Wu Yuan suddenly became so talkative and actually let the Zhao family and his son go.
Ouyang Shishi frowned slightly. She didn't believe that Wu Yuan couldn't tell that there was something wrong with the Zhao family and his son, but she also couldn't understand why Wu Yuan let him go so easily.
However, Yan Miao and Murong Haitang did not show any doubts in their eyes, they just watched calmly.
Originally, Zhao De wanted to ask Ouyang Xiao to prescribe some holy medicine for healing, but when he was about to speak, Wu Yuan's tone became cold, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Zhao De's heart trembled, and he hurriedly picked up Zhao Kuan's severed hand, then confessed to Wu Yuan and left.
It wasn't until the Zhao family and his son really left that everyone was really sure that Wu Yuan had really let the Zhao family and his son go.
This immediately gave Li Daju of the Li family hope, and he immediately climbed over with Li Yindi.
