According to the Ming Dynasty law, the punishment of the nine clans at this time is based on the criminals themselves, and it is pushed to the fourth generation of great-grandson and the fourth generation of great-grandson. In fact, it is just one clan, which is the so-called "slaying of all families", which is different from the early Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties.

This kind of disposal is absurd for later generations. But for this time, it is one of the normal state punishments, but it is not necessary to commit any serious crimes!

The consequences caused by those traitors are very serious. The emperor has clearly stated in advance that since he dares to commit the crime again, he must bear the corresponding consequences.

If this matter is an impossible task, then this kind of handling may be over. But with the example of Changli, who dares to say that guarding Yongping is an impossible task?

Hu Guang's decree immediately shocked all the civil and military officials in the Huangji Hall. They did not expect that the emperor would take action!

In the past, there was nothing wrong with this situation. When the opportunity was wrong, surrendered and waited for Jianlu to leave or the opportunity was right, and the court would not blame him or her, and he would still be his own official and might even be promoted.

But from then on, whoever dares to do this again, the officials who surrendered to Yongping are role models. Although they have followed Jianlu to Liaodong, this order is effective. If they are caught in the future, the end of the nine clans will be killed.

When Ma Shilong heard this, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that when the emperor dealt with people, he measured it based on the consequences caused by the matter.

For example, in terms of the contributions of the Guanning Army, they sent troops in time to rescue and appease millions of old and weak in Yongping and other places, and the emperor believed that they had made great contributions.

The reason why Yongping Equity suffered such great losses and the people suffered such heavy losses was that those officials did not resist or did not resist well, so they were convicted of it, and they were as if they were accomplices.

So, who should be responsible for the losses in Zunhua? Is Zunhua Governor? But he has already been defeated and committed suicide! Is that himself?

Just as he thought of this, he heard the emperor shouting again: "Ma Shilong, are you guilty?"

Ma Shilong was a little stunned when he heard this, then his face turned pale, and he said that he was guilty. Of course, he was unwilling to give up and immediately responded: "I will be stupid and do my best to serve the king. I don't know what the crime is?"

Hu Guang knew that he would not admit his guilt easily, so he stared at him and shouted, "I know that you have strong troops and strong horses. I have entrusted important tasks and even given you Shangfang sword to command the royal army in the northwest. Can you win?"

"The Jianlu is in great power, and the last general is looking for a good opportunity to ensure that he can win in one battle!" Ma Shilong immediately defended.

Wen Tiren listened on the side. Originally, he suggested that he would propose to convict Ma Shilong, and finally the emperor decided. However, the emperor himself did not agree, saying that he wanted to express his attitude and that things that ignored the people must be severely punished.

In this way, he heard the emperor shouting coldly again: "Seven days ago, the castles around Zunhua were already there, and Zunhua was left with only one lonely city, and there were only eight hundred Jianlu in the city. The generals were asking for battle. Why did you only let three or four thousand troops go to fight and refuse to support? Don't tell me that you are still looking for fighters, and you feel that with your tens of thousands of troops, you can't defeat Zunhua City!"

"What Your Majesty said is that Jianlu is fierce and has high walls to support, so it is hard to say the last thing!" 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. Why did the emperor seem to know Zunhua very well? They subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the commander of the Jinyiwei standing on one side. Could it be that the Jinyiwei's secret report was the Jinyiwei again?

Hu Guang couldn't help laughing furiously after hearing Ma Shilong's words. He really thought he was a fool. He suddenly turned to look at the other person and shouted loudly: "Deputy General Cao, I ask you, if you come to command, are you sure to take Zunhua?"

Cao Wenzhao was named and had to be out of the list. If it were the past, he might have answered it lightly in order to avoid offending Ma Shilong and his gangsters.

But at this time, Ma Shilong obviously had no backer in the court, and he was the only one who was still resisting under the ruling power, and no one was talking to him.

Furthermore, Cao Wenzhao was just promoted to the level of his merits, and he was grateful, so his butt was naturally towards the emperor. And when he was outside the city, he also saw the army led by Ma Shilong to serve the king. Not to mention anything else, Ma Shilong's three thousand servants were indeed extremely elite.

Therefore, he did not want to leave a bad impression on the emperor, and replied without hesitation: "Return to Your Majesty, if you are the last general, you will attack him from all directions. There are few people in Jianlu, and you will lose one or the other, and Zunhua will definitely go down!"

"Cao Wenzhao, don't blow..." Ma Shilong's face turned red and he shouted angrily when he heard this.

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Guang. He only heard him say coldly: "Don't plead guilty yet, He Qing, can you say that Zunhua?"

He Kegang was named, and no matter what he thought, there was no way out. Should he slap his deputy general in the face, or clearly violate the will of the holy people, or speak regardless of the facts? With the strong troops of Ma Shilong's troops, the answer is self-evident.

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

"You..." Ma Shilong's face turned redder. At this moment, he suddenly felt very regretful. The Shanxi merchants sent over food and showed their military power, which made them hard to speak now and shot themselves in the foot!

He knew that no matter how much he denies 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 is to prepare to slow down for a few days and wait for Jianlu to be careless before attacking him. This will not only allow Zunhua to be sent to Zunhua, but also reduce casualties! Who knew that Jianlu actually increased his troops, which made Zunhua not recover!"

"Haha..." Hu Guang couldn't help but sneer a few times. He really refused to admit his guilt. He changed his statement when he saw that the situation was wrong. After staring at Ma Shilong for a while, he suddenly shouted, "Just just arrived with the Mangourtai, the number of people is still not as large as you, but you fled when you heard the news, causing countless soldiers to be killed and injured, and gave Jianlu the opportunity to plunder Zunhua calmly. Is that true?"

"..." Ma Shilong was stunned when he heard this. In order not to bear the crime of ineffective combat, he led to the charge of timid enemy escape. Wouldn't this charge be even greater!

Of course, he was even more unlikely to admit his guilt, and immediately argued: "The general of the army was to preserve his strength and to replace others, and the army had been wiped out! If that were the case, the situation in the capital would inevitably change drastically! And as long as the general of the army was undefeated, Jianlu would have to be scruples and hurried out of seclusion!"

Of course he had some advice. The Tongzhou-supporting King's Army was the end of annihilation of the entire army.
