At this time, Yun Ruoyue walked towards Chu Xuanchen and said, "Xuanchen, it is indeed hateful for these people to betray their country and seek glory, but their families are innocent. Can you give them a lighter punishment?"
Yun Ruoyue, who has received modern education, cannot accept the ancient punishment of killing nine or three tribes at every turn.
The families of these officials are innocent. It would be too cruel to directly punish the Nine Tribes!
"Just like when Taifu Han's family was obviously innocent, but they were all killed.

If they make trouble again, they are afraid that His Highness King Li will change his mind.
And Yun Ruoyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this result.
She does not agree with sitting together, but the punishment in ancient times is different from that in modern times, and it cannot be changed in a short while.
"A major crime like treason is usually punishable by the Nine Tribes.
