The Seven Sons of Chiyan Valley Fall in Blood; the Grand Princess Seizes the Military Tally in the Golden Hall
Wei Ye of Chiyan Valley and his seven sons died fighting while leading reinforcements. Six of his sons fell in battle, and Wei Ye dashed himself against a stone monument, sacrificing his life for his country. At the funeral hall, Grand Princess Zhao Jingyao wielded Emperor Taizu’s golden whip to seize the military tally, abolished the male heir’s right to inherit, and proclaimed to the realm: “The Wei family can produce generals even without sons.”
