Fantasy: Prince Peerless, Conquer the Heavens!

Chapter 402 Big Shock

"By imperial order, Qin Huilong colluded with clans, sold officials and titles, conspired to manipulate the imperial examinations, accepted a large amount of money, regarded the court system as nothing, undermined the stability of the country, and was sentenced to death. His family members within the fifth civil service were demoted to common people. I admire this!"

Wang Fu read loudly, and the sharp voice echoed in the imperial palace and did not dissipate for a long time.

death penalty!

All the ministers present were shocked!

Qin Huilong was the younger brother of the Supreme Emperor Qin Ying and the uncle of the current emperor, but now he was sentenced to death.

Not only that, the relatives within the fifth service will also have to become common people. This punishment is too severe.

"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

Civil and military officials bowed respectfully, and of course they had no objection.

The prince breaks the law and is as guilty as the common people!

If Qin Wudao can abide by the law, it will be a good thing for the country and the people, and it will be a wise king.

Wang Fu put down the imperial edict, took out another imperial edict from the eunuch beside him, slowly opened it, and a golden dragon also flew out, majestic Guangze.

"The emperor decrees that the Qin clan members, as the royal family, must fulfill their obligations to serve the country. From now on, the Qin clan royal family will confer titles, seal places, and protect the country!"

"The titles of the Qin family are divided into seven levels in total: first-class prince, second-class county prince, third-class county prince, fourth-class duke, fifth-class county prince, sixth-class county prince, and seventh-class lord!"

"All the conferred titles of the Qin family will guard the place and receive salaries according to their grades. Their descendants will inherit the titles and will be demoted by one level. When there is no title to demote and they become civilians, the Qin family will guarantee a basic life!"

"Those of the Qin clan who are gifted and have made meritorious service to the country can be promoted to a higher rank."

The content of this imperial edict was very long, and Wang Fu read it for half an hour. The main content was the plans of the royal family members.

However, Qin Wudao still did not do anything to his own people. He did not expel the Qin clan members who had become civilians from the family tree, but ensured their basic life.

Of course, this basic life is not about sitting back and enjoying the benefits, but arranging a job or joining the army.

Great Qin does not raise idle people!

When you become a member of the royal family and enjoy the benefits of power, you also have to bear obligations.

After listening to the contents of the imperial edict, the Qin officials in the court frowned. If this system is followed, many members of the royal family will become commoners.

"Your Majesty, I object."

A royal official came out, ready to object.

Perhaps in his opinion, it is only natural that the Qin family is a royal family and that its people are supported by the state. Isn't this the way it has been throughout the ages?

"Objection is invalid!"

Before the royal official finished speaking, Qin Wudao interrupted forcefully, without opening his eyes, and said calmly: "As long as the royal family members are willing to work hard and make contributions to the country, I will not be stingy with rewards!"

"Da Qin is the Great Qin in the world. As a member of Da Qin, the royal family has been awarded a title, and the starting point is higher than that of ordinary people. If you can't make contributions, just become an ordinary citizen!"

The calm voice revealed bursts of imperial power, more like telling a truth.

The royal official was speechless. He was not convinced, but saw Qin Wudao's determination. If he tried to dissuade him again, he would probably not end well.

"Keep reading!"

Qin Wudao continued to order.

When Wang Fu heard this, he took out another imperial edict and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, because the content of this imperial edict was even more exciting.

"The emperor ordered that thirty-seven clans, including the Xiong clan, the Xun clan, the Yuwen clan, the Zuo clan, and the Ran clan, collaborated with Qin Huilong to control the officialdom, install officials in the court and local government, form cliques for private gain, undermine the national system, and cultivate private interests.

If the army dominates one side, its clan leaders and elders will be sentenced to death and their property confiscated."

"In addition, there are more than 29,000 clans that commit violations of laws and disciplines. Depending on the severity of the crime, they are sentenced to fines to confiscation of their homes. Their clan leaders and elders are sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three to three hundred years."

Wang Fu read aloud, his voice trembling a little.

Although he is in a deep palace, he still understands the situation in the country. According to the content of the imperial edict, 90% of the clans in Da Qin will be punished.

At worst, your family may be ruined, at worst, you may be fined!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang.

After Wang Fu recited the imperial edict, dozens of people in the court collapsed to the ground and passed out. Even if they were not unconscious, their eyes were dull.

These people are all members of the clan.

The army soldiers outside the palace marched in in order and arrested all the clan officials who had violated the imperial court's laws and disciplines.

The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish pond!

A very small number of innocent clan officials were trembling with fear and prayed secretly, hoping to avoid this disaster.

"The emperor decreed that three hundred and fifty-two clans, including the Ji clan of Taiyuan Dao domain, the Hong clan of Luochen Dao domain, and the Tai clan of Tianhu Dao domain, abide by the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Each of their family members will be rewarded with a thousand spiritual stones as a token of their loyalty.

Commendation!”

Wang Fu took out a new imperial edict and read it aloud, making the innocent officials in the court heave a sigh of relief.

The solemn atmosphere in the court was slightly relieved by this imperial edict.

But as Wang Fu took out the last imperial edict, the originally soothing atmosphere became more solemn, causing turmoil in the hearts of all the courtiers.

"Emperor's decree, in order to resolve the clan chaos, from now on, Great Qin will abolish the clan system and continue to use the imperial examination system!"

"Clans with more than fifty members in the world will be separated and moved to other places under the overall arrangement of the court. Those who disobey the order and disrespect will be taxed on a per capita basis."

After Wang Fu finished reading the contents of the imperial edict, the court was completely silent.

Things have changed!

"Dismiss the dynasty!"

Qin Wudao stood up, put his hands behind his back, turned and left the imperial palace, leaving the courtiers at a loss.

Could it be that the clan system that has existed for countless years will disappear from the Great Qin Holy Court?

"My lords, go back to work! Moving clans from all over the world is a big project!"

Zhuge Liang and other court officials who knew the inside story left the imperial palace with sonorous steps.

There are no secrets in the court. This time, there was no need for the court to announce it. The content of the imperial edict read by Wang Fu spread as quickly as possible throughout more than a hundred Taoist realms in the Qin Dynasty, causing huge repercussions and an uproar.

When ordinary people found out, they all praised Qin Wudao for being selfless and impartially enforcing the law.

As for the imperial edict to separate the family, it was not affected. After all, the total number of people in their family did not exceed fifty.

Even some small, newly born clans were not affected because their clan members were few and did not meet the requirements.

But the vast majority of clans are in a state of anxiety.

Once they are separated, their strength will be weakened to the extreme and even lead to destruction.

"What a cruel method!"

The patriarch of a medium-sized clan said with emotion.

The reason why clans are so powerful is not because they gather together and replace national laws with patriarchal laws. They have strong cohesion and can cope with various difficulties.

After the family division, each branch established its own branch, leaving the general family as a clan!
