Chapter 375: Do you want to rebel?

Chapter 375 Do you want to rebel?

The rebels brought by King Ma were also captured by the imperial army who had been ambushing outside the palace.

Xiao Jin dragged Ma Wang's body out of the inner hall with a heavy face, "The emperor and the queen mother were killed by Ma Wang."

As soon as Xiao Jin finished speaking, everyone in the yard was too shocked to speak.

The chief executive staggered into the inner hall, but after a while, his mournful wailing came from inside.

"The emperor passed away, and the queen mother passed away."

Emperor Kang Ze and the Queen Mother were killed by the rebel King Ma, and all the officials mourned.

At daybreak, people in the palace began to prepare white banners, and the mourning hall was also erected.

Su Ying didn't know what happened last night until she had breakfast.

"died?"

"Yes, the emperor, the queen mother, and the king of horses are gone."

Su Ying was a little surprised. Did he die too fast? It was quite sudden. Didn’t Ma Wang have already escaped?

Su Ying couldn't understand.

Su Ying doesn't understand, and Bai Shuang doesn't understand even more.

"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are dead, and the Crown Princess and the young princes will all have to enter the palace soon."

"Oh, I see."

After eating, Su Ying and the two treasures changed into mourning clothes and went to the palace.

All civil and military officials who got the news also came to the palace to attend the funeral.

When Su Ying and the others arrived, many people had already arrived inside and outside the mourning hall, and all of them had mournful expressions on their faces.

Xiao Jin knelt on the futon of the mourning hall and returned salutes to those who came to worship.

Su Ying looked at the two coffins in the mourning hall and walked in with two treasures.

Xiao Jin saw Su Ying coming, so he got up and took them to kneel beside him.

Su Ying didn't ask any more questions, but just threw the incense paper into the brazier in a dull manner.

According to the rules, the coffin has to be suspended for seven days before being sent to the imperial mausoleum.

"Make a show on the first day, and take the children to rest later." Xiao Jin whispered in her ear.

Su Ying is not tired at all, but she feels that the incense burns her eyes a bit.

It was the royal family and nobles who came to worship first, and then the civil and military officials.

When the royal family and nobles came in to worship, a thin figure suddenly rushed in and pointed at Xiao Jin and cursed, "You don't have to be hypocritical here, you were the one who killed the emperor father and the emperor's grandmother, but you slandered him to the head of Ma Wang!" Come on, you are the real traitor!"

Su Ying looked up at the person who came, and saw that he was only in his early twelve or thirteen years old, with red eyes, and he was still wearing the mourning clothes of a filial son.

This person is the third prince Xiao Li.

Emperor Kangze's harem had many concubines, but not many heirs, and it wasn't impossible to have children, but few of them lived to adulthood after birth, especially sons.

Except for Xiao Jue and Xiao Jin, Xiao Li is the oldest.

He was born of Concubine De, his maternal grandfather was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his ancestor was the Marquis of Bo'an, but the title was confiscated in the generation of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. There are not many real powers in the central government that can be touched, and Xiao Li is still young, so even when Xiao Jin was exiled, Xiao Li was not the best candidate for the heir apparent in the minds of all the ministers.

Su Ying glanced at Concubine De who was following closely behind her. She walked into the hall with a sad face, grabbed Xiao Li, choked up and said, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and kneel down to apologize to the prince."

Xiao Li stuck his neck and said: "What I said is true, why should I apologize? He is the one who killed the emperor and the emperor. He is the traitor, the traitor."

Xiao Jin stood up from the futon with a cold expression, and walked to Xiao Li step by step.

It may be that Xiao Jin's aura is too strong, Xiao Li retreated several steps in fear.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Jin said coldly: "It is a felony to slander the prince, but I will let you go because of brotherhood, but an elder brother is like a father. If you don't let you have a long memory, you will not be able to sue the emperor's spirit in heaven."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jin raised his hand and slapped Xiao Li's face hard.

In front of Xiao Jin, Xiao Li was like a quail that didn't open its arms. He slapped his face, and Xiao Li fell to the ground with a crooked body.

"Emperor!" Concubine De exclaimed, she was so frightened that she knelt and climbed forward to hug Xiao Li.

"Prince calm down, prince calm down, the emperor doesn't have many heirs, now there are only two brothers left in the prince, the third prince and the fourth prince, please let the prince let them go."

As soon as Concubine De's words came out, the ambiguity became even greater. To the ears of others, it seemed that Xiao Jin was going to kill them. If there were any troubles between them in the future, wouldn't it be Xiao Jin who came to blame?

Xiao Jin condensed and said: "Concubine De and the third prince are going to rebel?"

Concubine De's face changed, "What does the prince mean by this? This is clearly slander."

"Then what is the basis for the third prince to say that the emperor was killed by this palace? You slander this palace just to give yourself a legitimate reason when you rebel in the future. I didn't expect Concubine De to have such an ambition. People, take Concubine De and the Third Prince down, and no one is allowed to let them out until this palace finds out that they were wronged."

Xiao Jin gave an order, and the imperial guards stepped forward one after another to set up the mother and son.

Xiao Li came back to his senses and struggled to get rid of the shackles of the imperial army.

"What are you doing, let me go, let me go!"

Xiao Jin waved his hand directly, and the forbidden army directly blocked the mouths of the two of them and dragged them down.

This scene made everyone present shudder, thinking that the move of the concubine De and her son was too stupid. Xiao Jin is the crown prince proclaimed by the emperor, and he will inherit the grand ceremony in a short time. They actually ran out at this time to offend others. This is not courting what death is.

This episode didn't change anything, Xiao Jin asked Su Ying to take the two treasures to the side hall for a short rest around noon.

Kneeling all morning, Su Ying felt her back was stiff.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Jin's warm palm landed on her waist, rubbing gently.

"Are we going to kneel until the funeral?"

"After today, just use the excuse that you don't feel well and stay in the palace."

"Well, what happened last night? Why did Ma Wang fall so quickly?"

After the maid came up with lunch, Xiao Jin made everyone retreat.

"Before, he had been hiding in the palace, in the empress dowager's bedroom. He didn't want to leave, because he didn't want to miss this opportunity to directly kill the emperor, so I had someone secretly guard the empress dowager's palace early in the morning."

"you know?"

Xiao Jin nodded. He didn't really go to the theater that night when the palace changed. He kept people watching Ma Wang and his son secretly. That night Sima Chen fled outside the palace and lost his people, but Ma Wang Is always in the palace.

But he thought Ma Wang would at least wait a little longer, after all, the soldiers and horses from Ma Wang City hadn't arrived yet.

"So careless?" Su Ying felt that it was not stupid for Ma Wang to get to where he is now, and his actions this time were too reckless.

"En." Maybe it has something to do with the news he released that Emperor Kang Ze was not injured and his life was not in danger.

Ma Wang, he really hates Emperor Kang Ze, otherwise he wouldn't take the risk.
