Chapter 206
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the nine clans of Zhu at this time are based on the offender himself. They are pushed up to the fourth great-grandfather and down to the fourth great-great-grandson. The early Ming and previous dynasties were different.

This kind of treatment is absurd for future generations.But at this time, it is one of the normal national punishments, except for non-serious crimes!

The actions of those traitors had very serious consequences.The emperor had clearly stated in advance that since he dared to commit the crime again, he would have to bear the corresponding consequences.

If this is an impossible task, then this treatment may be over.But with the example of Changli, who dares to say that keeping Yongping well is an impossible task?

Hu Guang's decree immediately frightened all the civil and military officials in the Huangji Hall.They didn't expect that the emperor actually made a real move!
In the past, there was nothing like this situation.Seeing the opportunity is not right, surrender in the past, wait for Jianlu to leave, or if the opportunity is right, and then surrender, the court will not blame him, and he will still be his own official, and may even be promoted.

But from now on, whoever dares to do this again, these officials who surrendered in Yongping are role models.Although they have gone to Liaodong with Jianlu now, this decree is effective. If they are caught in the future, they will still end up in the end of Zhujiu Clan.

When Ma Shilong heard this, he felt something was wrong, as if the emperor judged people according to the consequences of things.

For example, in terms of the merits of the Guanning Army, they sent troops in time to rescue and appease the millions of old and weak in Yongping, and the emperor believed that their contributions were great.

The reason why Yongping Land suffered such huge losses and the people suffered so badly was because those officials did not resist, or did not resist well, so they were convicted, to the point of conspiracy.

So, who should be responsible for the losses in Zunhua?The governor of Zunhua, but he has already committed suicide in defeat!Is that yourself?
As soon as he thought of this, he heard the emperor shout again: "Ma Shilong, are you guilty?"

Ma Shilong was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then his face turned pale, he really said that he was guilty.Of course he was not reconciled, and immediately went out to play back: "The young general is stupid, and he has done his best in the affairs of the king. I don't know what crime he has committed?"

Hu Guang knew that he would not confess his crime quickly, so he stared at him and shouted: "I know you are strong and strong, and I even gave you a sword to command the king's army in the northwest. But do you have any victories?"

"Jianlu is powerful, and the final general is looking for a good opportunity to ensure victory in a single battle!" Ma Shilong immediately argued.

Wen Tiren listened on the sidelines. Originally, he suggested that he should convict Ma Shilong, and the emperor finally made the decision.However, the emperor himself did not agree, saying that he wanted to show his attitude that he must be severely punished for things that ignored the people.

Just like that, he heard the emperor shouting coldly again: "Seven days ago, the castles around Zunhua were already occupied. Anyway, there is only one isolated city left in Zunhua, and there are only 4000 prisoners in the city. The generals are asking for a battle. Why do you only let [-] soldiers?" The men and horses went out to fight, and refused to support them. Don't tell me that you are still looking for a chance to fight, and you think that with your tens of thousands of troops, you can't defeat Zunhua City!"

"Your Majesty's words are very true. The prisoner is fierce and there are high walls to rely on. It is hard to say what will happen!" Ma Shilong was shocked, but he still refused to admit his guilt.

When the civil and military officials heard this, they were a little surprised, how the emperor seemed to know the situation in Zunhua very well.They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the commander of Jin Yiwei who was standing on the side. Could it be another secret report from Jin Yiwei?

Hearing Ma Shilong's words, Hu Guang couldn't help laughing angrily, thinking that he was a fool, he suddenly turned his head to look at the other person, and shouted: "Vice General Cao, I ask you, if you come to command, can you be sure to take it?" Xia Zunhua?"

Cao Wenzhao was named and had to come out.If it was changed to before, he might have answered in a light way in order to avoid offending Ma Shilong and his followers.

But at this time, Ma Shilong obviously had no backer in the court, and he was the only one left to resist under the majesty of the monarch, and no one else spoke for him.

Furthermore, Cao Wenzhao himself had just been promoted due to meritorious service, and he was grateful in his heart, so his ass was naturally facing the emperor.And when he was outside the city, he also saw the King Qin army led by Ma Shilong. Not to mention other things, Ma Shilong's [-] family members are indeed extremely elite.

Therefore, he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the emperor, so he played back without hesitation: "Your Majesty, if you are the last general, you will attack him from all sides. There are few prisoners, and you will lose sight of the other, and Zunhua will definitely go down!"

"Cao Wenzhao, you don't have to brag..." Ma Shilong blushed when he heard this, and shouted angrily.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Guang, who said coldly, "You haven't pleaded guilty yet, He Qing, tell me, can you go to Zunhua?"

He Kegang was named, and no matter what he thought at this moment, there was no way out.Do you want to slap your lieutenant in the face, or obviously violate the holy will, or speak in disregard of the facts?Given that Ma Shilong's troops are strong and strong, the answer is self-evident.

Therefore, He Kegang immediately replied: "You can go to Zunhua!"

"You..." Ma Shilong's face turned even redder with anger. At this moment, he suddenly felt regretful. What food those Shanxi merchants sent over, and what military might he showed, made it difficult for him to speak now. own feet!
He knew that on this matter, no matter how much he denied it, he would not be able to change the result. At this time, no one in the court would support him.So, he changed his mind, and immediately said: "The last general's plan is to wait for a few days, and then make a surprise attack after Jianlu is paralyzed. This will not only go to Zunhua, but also reduce the casualties of our army! Who knows Jianlu To increase the troops is to prevent Zunhua from being conquered!"

"Hehe..." Hu Guang couldn't help but sneered a few times, he really didn't admit his guilt, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he changed his statement.After staring at Ma Shilong for a while, he suddenly shouted again, "It's only Mangurtai's arrival, the number is still not as many as you, but you fled after hearing the news, causing countless casualties and giving Jianlu the freedom to plunder." Zunhua's opportunity, is this the case?"

"..." Ma Shilong was stunned when he heard this. Just now, in order not to bear the charge of ineffective combat, the charge of fleeing from the enemy was brought out. Isn't this charge even bigger!
Of course, it is even more impossible for him to plead guilty, and immediately tried to argue: "The last general is to preserve his strength. If he wants to replace someone else, the whole army has already been wiped out! If that is the case, the situation in the capital will change drastically! And as long as the last general is undefeated, Jianlu must have scruples in his heart, so he hurried out of the pass!"

Of course he pointed out that the King Qin's army in Tongzhou would be wiped out.

After Hu Guang said so much, he didn't want to waste any more words, so he decreed: "Come on, put Ma Shilong in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and have him interrogated by the three judicial departments to determine his guilt!"
