Chapter 1714 Whoever dares not to come, bear the consequences!
Chapter 1714 Whoever dares not to come will be responsible for the consequences!
The kneeling Ye family members did not expect Ye Chen to be so cruel and ruthless.
They are all members of the same family, the legitimate sons and grandsons of the Ye family, yet he actually wants to imprison everyone in Yeling Mountain and force them to observe filial piety for their ancestors for three years!
For these rich people who are used to pampering and enjoying themselves, even three days is unacceptable, let alone three years!
So, everyone hurriedly looked at Ye Zhongquan, looking at him eagerly, waiting for him to say a good word for everyone.
Ye Zhongquan looked at the pitiful eyes of these people and felt a little compassion in his heart.
He did support Ye Chen in punishing these spineless descendants, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to be so ruthless as soon as he got started.
So, he couldn't help but said to Ye Chen: "Chen'er, asking them to observe filial piety for their ancestors is indeed a good punishment, but three years, isn't it a little too long?"
"How long?" Ye Chen said seriously: "Don't forget what they all have in mind! They secretly bought mourning clothes without communicating with you, making it clear that they want to wait until you face Wan Pojun today.
What's the purpose of defecting again? This is to put you to death, watch you die, and then step on your corpse to surrender to the enemy! Do you think the punishment of three years of filial piety is too long for such a person?
"
Ye Zhongquan's expression suddenly froze.
He also understands this truth.
However, he deliberately did not think about it at this level.
But if we really get to the bottom of it, the truth is actually what Ye Chen said.
Ye Changkong cried at this time and said: "Dad! We really don't mean this, please don't misunderstand me, Dad!"
Others also expressed their pleas, hoping that the old man would not be affected by Ye Chen's words.
But Ye Zhongquan let out a long sigh, waved his hands, and said to himself: "I am getting older, my heart has softened, and women have become more benevolent... Forget it, never mind!"
After that, he said to Ye Chen: "Chen'er, it doesn't matter whether it's three years or five years, it's all up to you!"
Ye Chen nodded and said calmly: "If you accept it, don't say another word. If you say one more word, it will be treated as if you don't accept it. If you don't accept it, there is a second option, which is to go to Madagascar like Ye Feng!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately shut up.
At this time, no one dared to touch Ye Chen's bad luck.
Because Ye Chen is not only the head of the Ye family, but also the new owner of the Wanlong Palace. With his comprehensive strength here, no one dares to disobey him.
Seeing that these people were as honest as quails, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since you all have no objections, the three years will start from today!"
For Ye Chen, the kneeling Ye family has no value to the Ye family.
This group of people has little ability and little contribution. They are like the prodigal rich second generation of the top rich family. They can't do anything well, they don't have enough to eat, they don't have any ability and they still go around pretending to be awesome all day long.
The old man used to have a deep love for his calves. Even though he knew that these people were incompetent, he still felt that they were his bloodline. Of course, they should be pampered and cared for.
But in Ye Chen's view, these people are completely the worms of the Ye family.
Moreover, they are still a bunch of spineless morons.
After Ye Chen took over the Ye family, the first thing he had to do was to find a way to get these people out of their respective posts, so that they would not be able to do nothing but make up for their losses.
However, after all, these people are of the Ye family's blood, and they are all direct sons and grandsons. If they don't make some big mistakes, it's really not easy to get rid of them.
If she masturbates forcefully, I am afraid that it will cause rejection by everyone in the Ye family, and the senses of the outside world will also be very poor.
But the wonderful thing is that this group of people actually took the initiative to provide Ye Chen with an excellent opportunity for rectification.
If these people hadn't secretly gone to buy mourning clothes last night, Ye Chen wouldn't have been able to destroy them all so legitimately.
It's fine now. Just when Ye Chen couldn't find a good way to separate them from the Ye family, they all came to his door one by one.
This is similar to Wan Pojun's initiative to come to the door.
At this time, Ye Changmin looked at Ye Chen with fear, and nervously asked: "Chen'er...then...what about aunt...after all, aunt is also the first one."
Admit your mistake...You also said just now that you want to give your aunt a chance to be lenient..."
"Of course." Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Of all the people, you have the best attitude towards admitting mistakes and the fastest to admit mistakes, so naturally I have to be lenient with you this time."
After saying that, Ye Chen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let's do this, you stay here with them to observe mourning for three days, and after three days, go back to Ye's house to take good care of grandpa."
When Ye Changmin heard this, he was so excited that he burst into tears.
She really didn't expect that Ye Chen would actually give her such great preferential treatment.
It takes three years for others, but only three days for me!!!
At this time, Ye Changmin had completely regarded Ye Chen as his savior. He was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and even said with a trembling voice: "Chen...Chen'er...Thank you...
..Thank you for being open to my aunt... Don't worry... In the future, my aunt will... definitely change her mind and be a new person!"
Ye Chen nodded calmly.
It's not that he really wants to take care of Ye Changmin, but at this time, he wants to create a huge gap between others.
As the saying goes, those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
One prosperity and one death are the biggest differences.
This is also a clear signal to the Ye family.
From now on, in the Ye family, you must obey your own words.
Ye Chen also knew very well that if he wanted to ensure that similar situations would not happen again in the Ye family in the future, he must use force to firmly control the entire Ye family!
Therefore, today we must thoroughly ingrain this concept in their hearts!
After everything was dealt with, Ye Chen said to Ye Zhongquan: "Grandpa, everything is almost settled. It's time to start the ancestor worship ceremony!"
Ye Zhongquan nodded heavily: "Okay!"
The Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony was originally very grand.
Before worshiping ancestors, the four priestly forms of music, singing, dancing, and rituals are not inferior to the ceremony of worshiping Confucius in the Confucius Temple.
And the types of sacrifices prepared for use as gifts are also extremely rich.
In order to successfully hold the ancestor worship ceremony, the Ye family hires a professional director and a complete set of stage teams, costumes, props, actors, and sound, all of which are top-notch.
But today, none of the cast and crew members who had been negotiated for a long time came.
Everyone knew that the Ye family was going to suffer a disaster today, and everyone was trying to avoid it.
Not to mention the cast and crew hired with money, even the more than 700 members of the Ye family branch have all disappeared, leaving only Ye Zhongzhuo.
Therefore, this time the ancestor worship ceremony had no choice but to cut off many processes.
Music, singing, dancing and rituals were all omitted, and the only thing left was the memorial ceremony performed by the Ye family themselves.
Ye Zhongquan took the memorial text that he had written for many days all night, and sighed while crying: "This memorial text is all about the prosperity of the Ye family, uniting together, and creating greater glory. It is a gift I prepared for the ancestors of the Ye family.
Debriefing report......"
Having said this, Ye Zhongquan let out a long sigh and said sadly: "But who would have thought that today, more than 700 members of the Ye family are absent! And my legitimate son and grandson, Ye Zhongquan, actually wears sackcloth and mourns for others! I...
....I am really ashamed of my ancestors and I even have no shame to read out this memorial text..."
"Moreover, the ancestor worship process that was originally prepared has almost all been suspended. I don't know how to explain it to my ancestors..."
As Ye Zhongquan spoke, he suddenly felt a little excited. He choked several times and found it difficult to continue.
He is a person with deep family affection, at least much stronger than those descendants of the Ye family who are kneeling on the spot.
He felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought that the ancestor worship ceremony, which was held once every twelve years, was so shabby and depressed.
When he thought about the hundreds of ancestors of the Ye family lying here, he felt even more painful.
He has long passed the age of knowing destiny. Old people of this age cherish life more and have more respect for their deceased ancestors.
No matter how fearless or faithless you were when you were young, when you are about to die, you will still be able to think about your parents, your ancestors, and whether you will see them in another world after you die.
If they see them, how should they face them?
Seeing the old man swallowing harder, the Ye family almost all lowered their heads in shame.
Ye Chen took the memorial written by him, tore it into pieces, and said with a determined expression: "Grandpa, since the memorial is inappropriate, just tear it up. Don't blame yourself too much."
Saying that, Ye Chen said again: "As the saying goes, it is difficult to build a nation, and it is the same for a family! Although this ancestor worship ceremony was a little shabby and simple, it also allowed us to recognize many of the so-called relatives.
True face!"
"In the future, the Ye family will no longer believe in blood ties, but only in practical actions! All direct members, as well as collateral branches, must take practical actions if they want to gain benefits from the Ye family in the future!"
"If anyone still wants to share wealth but not share hardships, then I'm sorry, I, Ye Chen, will make him pay the price!"
Speaking of this, Ye Chen looked at Tang Sihai and asked him: "Steward Tang, are those side members who escaped overnight still unable to be contacted?"
Tang Sihai said awkwardly: "Master, they are still shutting down their phones or not in the service area. I guess they won't turn them on until the outside world receives a definite message about today's incident."
Ye Chen frowned and said: "So, when Wanlong Palace releases news later and tells the outside world that the Ye family has admitted defeat today, they will definitely want to draw a clear line with the Ye family, right?"
"It should be." Tang Sihai said respectfully: "Young master, in fact, you don't need to pay too much attention to most of the collateral branches. They have no actual contribution to the Ye family. On the contrary, they have to share some of the benefits from the Ye family, which is very important to the Ye family.
He said, these people are just like those small countries when all the nations came to visit me. Every time they came to worship, they seemed to be very pious, but they all wanted to eat and drink well in my heavenly kingdom and get some benefits before leaving.
If you are satisfied, it will be good for the Ye family to draw a clear line with them."
Ye Zhongquan also spoke at this time: "Sihai is right. Many collateral families have been relying on the resources of our Ye family. The same business, if left to others, may only cost 100 million, but left to the collateral families of the Ye family."
, it may cost 120 million. It would be better to draw a clear line for such a sideline in the future."
Ye Chen said coldly: "We must draw a clear line, but we must not let them leave without any loss."
With that said, he looked at Wan Pojun and said: "Pojun, let your people speak out later! Just say that Wanlong Palace has obtained the entire list of the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony.
All Ye family members present must gather at the foot of Yeling Mountain before eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Anyone who dares not to come will be responsible for the consequences!"
