205 Negative arguments
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhujiu clan mentioned at this time is based on the offender himself, pushed up to the fourth Gaozu, and pushed down to the fourth great-grandson, in fact, it is just a family, that is, the so-called "full door copying", which is different from the early Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties.
This kind of disposition is absurd for future generations. But for this time, it is one of the normal state punishments, but it is not a serious crime!
The consequences of the actions of those traitors are very serious. The emperor had made it clear in advance that since he dared to commit it again, he would have to bear the corresponding consequences.
If this is an impossible task, then this may be over. But there is an example of Changli, who dares to say that it is an impossible task to keep Yongping well?
Hu Guang's will immediately shocked all the civil and military officials in the Imperial Palace. They didn't expect that the emperor would be serious!
In the past, there was nothing like this. Seeing that the opportunity is wrong, surrender to the past, and when Jianyu is gone, or the opportunity is right, surrender again, and the court will not blame, and 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 an example. Now although they have followed Jianyu to Liaodong, this will is effective, and if they are caught in the future, it will still be the fate of the Nine Clans.
When Ma Shilong heard this, he felt that something was wrong, as if when the emperor dealt with people, he measured them according to the consequences caused by the matter.
For example, in terms of the merits of the Guan Ning army, they sent troops to rescue and appease the millions of old and weak people in Yongping, and the emperor thought that their merits were great.
And the reason why Yongping suffered so much and the people suffered so much was because those officials did not resist, or did not resist well, so they were convicted to the point of complicity.
In this way, who should be responsible for the losses on the Zunhua side? Governor of Zunhua, but he has already committed suicide in defeat! Is that me?
As soon as he thought of this, he heard the emperor shout again: "Ma Shilong, are you guilty? ”
Ma Shilong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned pale, and he really said that he was guilty. Of course, he was not reconciled, and immediately went out and recited: "The last general is stupid, and he does his best in the Qin Wang, I don't know what the crime is?" ”
Hu Guang knew that he would not admit his guilt happily, so he stared at him and shouted: "I know that you are strong and strong, and for entrusting you with important tasks, I even gave you the sword of Shang Fang, so that you can lead the army of the Qin King of the Northwest Roads." But can you win? ”
"The construction is strong, and the last general is looking for a good opportunity to ensure victory in one battle!" Ma Shilong immediately argued.
Wen Tiren listened from the side, originally he suggested that he should propose to convict Ma Shilong, and finally the emperor made the decision. However, the emperor himself did not agree, saying that he wanted to show his attitude and that he must be severely punished for ignoring the people.
In this way, he heard the emperor snorting coldly again: "Seven days ago, the castles around Zunhua were anyway, and there was only one lonely city left in Zunhua, and there were only eight hundred prisoners in the city, and the generals were seeking to fight, why did you only let three or four thousand men and horses fight, and refused to support." Don't tell me, you're still looking for fighters, and you think that with your tens of thousands of troops, you can't defeat Zunhua City! ”
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the building is fierce, and there are high walls to rely on, and it is difficult to grasp the end!" Ma Shilong was shocked, but he still refused to admit his guilt.
When the civil and military officials heard this, they were slightly surprised in their hearts, how could the emperor seem to know very well about the situation in Zunhua. They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the commander of the Jinyi Guard standing on the side, could it be some heaven-level secret report from the Jinyi Guard?
Hu Guang listened to Ma Shilong's words, and couldn't help laughing angrily, he really thought he was so foolish, he suddenly turned his head to look at the other person, and shouted: "Deputy General Cao, I ask you, if you come to command, can you be sure to take Zunhua?" ”
Cao Wenzhao was named and had to be listed. If it were the same as before, he might have answered lightly in order to avoid offending Ma Shilong and his henchmen.
But at this time, Ma Shilong obviously had no backer in the court, and he was left alone to resist under the king's authority, and no one else spoke for him.
Moreover, Cao Wenzhao himself had just been promoted by leapfrogging because of his merits, and he was grateful in his heart, and his ass was naturally towards the emperor. And when he was outside the city, he also saw the Qin Wang army led by Ma Shilong, not to mention anything else, just Ma Shilong's three thousand family members were indeed extremely elite.
Therefore, he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the emperor, so he replied without hesitation: "Back to Your Majesty, if it is the last general, it will be attacked from all sides, and there are few people in Jianjiao. ”
"Cao Wenzhao, you have to blow ......" When Ma Shilong heard this, his face was flushed, and he shouted angrily.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Guang, and he only heard him say coldly: "Don't admit guilt, He Qing, you can go down to Zunhua?" ”
He Kegang was named, and no matter what he thought at this time, there was no way out. Do you want to slap your lieutenant in the face, or clearly go against the holy will, or speak out of the facts? With Ma Shilong's troops strong and strong, the answer is self-evident.
Therefore, He Kegang also immediately replied: "You can go down to Zunhua!" ”
"You ......" Ma Shilong's face turned even redder with anger, at this time, he suddenly regretted in his heart, what kind of food did those Jin merchants send over, and what kind of military might they showed, so that now they are speechless, and they have lifted a stone to shoot themselves in the foot!
He knew that no matter how much he denied it, he couldn't change the result, and at this time, no one in the court would support him. So, as soon as his mind turned, he immediately played: "The plan of the last general is to prepare to delay for a few days, and wait for Jianyu to be paralyzed and then raid it, so that it can not only be subordinate, but also reduce the casualties of our army!" Who knew that Jianyu actually increased his troops, so that Zunhua was not recovered! ”
"Hehe......" Hu Guang couldn't help but sneer 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 just that the Mang Gurtai has arrived, and the number of people is still not as large as yours, but you fled when you heard the news, causing countless casualties among the soldiers, and giving Jianyu the opportunity to calmly loot Zunhua, is this so?" ”
"......" Ma Shilong was stunned when he heard this, just now in order not to bear the charge of ineffective combat, the result led to the charge of cowardly fleeing, isn't this charge even greater!
Of course, it was impossible for him to admit his guilt, and immediately tried to argue: "In order to preserve his strength, he wants to change others, and the army has long been wiped out!" If that happens, the situation in Gyeonggi will change dramatically! And as long as the end will not be defeated, Jianyu will have scruples and hurry out! ”
Of course, he pointed out, and the Qinwang army of Tongzhou was the end of the annihilation of the whole army.
Hu Guang said so much, he didn't want to waste his tongue anymore, so he ordered: "Come on, put Ma Shilong in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the three law divisions will try and convict him!" ”
