No, how could it be? Wei Qing's status is still very high, and Emperor Wu would not exterminate the Wei family.

During the witchcraft disaster, Wei Qing’s eldest son Changpinghou Wei and his wife were executed because they were implicated in the witchcraft. However, the families of the Wei couple’s descendants and Wei Qing’s second son Wei Buyi and the youngest son Wei Deng’s family were not related. A record of being implicated.

The sentence "The Wei family was completely destroyed" in "Hanshu: Biography of Wife's Wife" refers to the "annihilation" of the Wei family's power in the court, not that the entire Wei family was destroyed. The wording in ancient history books is strict. The whole family was executed for crimes. According to Han law, it was called "clan" or "clan annihilation".

In later generations, there were also people who were granted the title of marquis and became officials.
