In consideration of Prince Dai's past glorious military achievements, the Emperor did not issue a decree to execute Prince Dai and Prince Yue. The two brothers were demoted to commoners and imprisoned for life in the Royal Mansion.
The entire family of Marquis Xuanping was executed in public display, but their extended family was not exterminated, simply because Marquis Xuanping did not have an extended family for the Emperor to eradicate.
Prince Han, who colluded with the Xiongnu, was granted a cup of poison in prison. As for the family of Marquis Wuping, the Xun family, their extended family was exterminated. The Xun family indeed had an extended family.
The Xun family has since disappeared from this world forever, and among the aristocratic families, the Xun family will no longer exist.
Among the four great aristocratic families in the capital, only the Xie family remains struggling to survive; the other three families have been removed by the Emperor.
