However, this figure kneeling there has been motionless for several hours, like a sculpture.

Just when the fiery red clouds were reflected in the sky, Ye Chen slowly got up, turned around, and saw the Ye family knelt down, and slowly walked down from the mausoleum.

The core members of the Ye family and the collateral members all looked at him, most of them were very anxious, only Ye Zhongquan and Ye Changxiu had full expectations on their expressions.

Ye Chen came to stand in front of everyone, looked around, and said in a cold voice: "From today, the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony will be changed from once every twelve years to once a year! The form can be kept simple, but everyone must be clear and clear." Come to Yeling Mountain to pay homage to the ancestors in person on the festival day, and no one is allowed to be absent!"

"Besides, all the members of the Ye family's collateral lineage will come to Yanjing every three months to hold a work report meeting to report to the main family in detail about the business situation of the past three months, and no one is allowed to be absent! Listen! do you understand?!"

From Ye Chen's point of view, the collateral vassals of the Ye family only come to worship once every twelve years. This frequency is really too low. The family has no actual control over them.

However, from now on, all this must undergo a radical change.

Letting them come to worship their ancestors every year and report on their duties every three months is to strengthen the Ye family's control over them.

If the Ye family is compared to a feudal dynasty, what Ye Chen has to do now is to strengthen the centralization of power, weaken the decentralization of power, and firmly hold the gang of vassal kings scattered all over the place in their hands!

No one expected that Ye Chen would change the ancestor worship ceremony once every 12 years to once a year.

You must know that although the ancestor worship ceremony is of great significance, it is also a waste of money and people.

Therefore, an older member of the collateral branch in the crowd said, "Ye Chen... the ancestor worship ceremony is held every twelve years. Is it frequent? I personally think that it may not be a good thing for us to disturb the peace of our ancestors so frequently! If the ancestors are displeased, then this is disrespectful to the ancestors!"

Ye Chen looked at him, and said in a cold voice: "Because it used to be once every twelve years, you guys surnamed Ye have already forgotten about your ancestors! Others said they would come to dig your ancestor's grave, You all escaped from Yanjing overnight! Is that how you respect your ancestors?!"

The old man's face turned red immediately, and he quickly shut his mouth.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Chen questioned, "Why didn't you speak? Wasn't he quite able to speak just now?"

After all, Ye Chen pointed to the Ye family's ancestral grave behind him, and asked him coldly: "Come on, in front of the old ancestor, explain to the old ancestor carefully, how do you respect the old ancestor?"

The old man said in 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 from the crowd, facing the graves of more than a hundred ancestors of the Ye family, he said shamelessly: "The ancestors of the Ye family are above, the unworthy descendant Ye Weiming is wrong! I hope the ancestors forgive me!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, ignored the old man, continued to face the more than 700 branch branches of the Ye family in front of him, and said sharply: "Don't think that you are collateral branches of the Ye family, I, the head of the main family, has made demands on you. , is bullying you!"

After that, he pointed to 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 those kneeling beside you! They are all Members of the Ye family! Here are my uncle, uncle, aunt, and cousins, they made a mistake, and they still want 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 branch were all dumbfounded!

Only then did they realize that Ye Chen's iron blood was not only aimed at outsiders like them.

He is more ruthless to his own family than to them!

At this time, Ye Chen continued to speak surprisingly: "And I might as well tell you that most of them, from now on, will stay in Yeling Mountain to honor their ancestors for the next three years!"

"In the next three years, even if there is a knife in the sky, they will not be allowed to leave half a step!"

"Even if someone is seriously ill and needs to live in the ICU, I will build the ICU to Yeling Mountain!"

Hearing this, the collateral members of the Ye family started to panic. Just now they thought it was cruel for Ye Chen to let his family kneel here for three days and three nights, but he didn't expect there to be even more cruel!

At this time, Ye Chen looked at them coldly, and continued: "So listen to me all of you. 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 Count it as one, and the end must be worse than them!"

Seeing this, the collateral members of the Ye family no one dared to raise any objections to the ancestor worship ceremony. JrNovels.com
