Seeing this, Xie Zhaozhao glanced at Gu Shaoyu, who nodded: "I have already pleaded with His Majesty to spare them from execution, and instead sentence them to exile in the desolate lands for ten years."
To spare someone the death penalty for the grave crime of rebellion is already an immense act of kindness.
“The Duke of Chengen and his faction are certainly not happy,” Xie Zhaozhao said. “The Crown Prince was driven out by the mob, and his party will certainly not let these two go.”
"The Duke of Cheng'en and his faction all demanded that he be executed by dismemberment and that his entire family be exterminated. His Majesty only said, 'Can you find their entire family?
