On the ninth day of the ninth month, Prince Xiao Changgong led his ministers to the royal temple to worship his ancestors. General Anxi Zheng Youliang rose up and rebelled.
When the news came, the ancestor worship ceremony had just ended, and the palace was holding a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Heng's rare good mood was instantly destroyed. He put down his wine glass and said, "A little General Anxi actually has the courage to rise up and rebel!"
Many ministers also smiled and comforted, "Yes, Master, don't be angry, then Zheng Youliang is just General Anxi, and he can't make a big wave!"
"Yes, the place where General Anxi was stationed is not far from Yongzhou. It is better to send Lord Chen, the governor of Yongzhou, to quell the rebellion!"
Xiao Heng responded lightly, waved his hand to call the minister of the Servant Deng Xian and ordered: "Deng Xian, send me orders to Chen Zui, the governor of Yongzhou, to quell the rebellion. Be sure to quickly capture General Anxi Zheng Youliang!"
"I obey the order!" The minister Deng Xian took the order and left, but after a moment, he returned with a hurried look on his face, and followed the scout who came to report urgently!
"The Emperor, Chen Zui, the governor of Yongzhou, has also rebelled!"
Xiao Heng was furious and threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground with a "bang" sound. He didn't care about the emperor's dignity. He stood up and grabbed the scout who came to report urgently, and asked sternly, "You said that."
What?"
"Reply...Report to the Emperor, the governor of Yongzhou Chen Zui... and General Anxi Zheng Youliang, rebelled together!"
The man was tightly grasped by Xiao Heng, and his face turned pale and almost couldn't breathe. Xiao Heng suddenly let go of his clamping and said gritting his teeth: "Yongzhou Governor Chen Zui, General Anxi Zheng Youliang, they actually went together.
On the contrary, I've really misunderstood..."
The ministers who were originally drunk at the banquet were shocked after hearing this and woke up most of them.
As the crown prince, Xiao Changgong's face also became solemn. Without waiting for Xiao Heng's order, he ordered people to remove the banquet and said to Xiao Heng: "Father, this matter is serious and cannot be delayed!"
"Brother Jing, Han Yunzhi, Fan Qing, Shen Rui, Fang Shixian, you guys, follow me to the Political Consultative Hall!" After Xiao Heng said this, he took the lead in going to the Political Consultative Hall, and the few people he called to each other
After taking a look, he followed Prince Xiao Changgong to the Political Consultative Hall.
The banquet could not continue anyway, and the other ministers had different thoughts, so they were inevitably a little nervous, but they did not dare to leave just like this.
And in the Hall of Political Affairs, the atmosphere was even more stagnant.
Yongzhou Governor Chen Zui and General Anxi both held military power, but they rose up and rebelled when everyone was unable to defend themselves. Obviously, they were prepared, and this was the reason why Xiao Heng was angry!
"Emperor, as I see, the governor of Yongzhou and General Anxi will raise an army together. I am afraid it is precisely because of the emperor's appointment of a crown prince this time!" The chief censor Fang Shixian said first, pointing out the announcement of the establishment of a crown prince in the world!
Xiao Heng snorted coldly and asked unhappily: "Did I have asked them what I mean by establishing a prince?"
"I dare not..." Fang Shixian quickly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "I just think that the governor of Yongzhou and General Anxi had no movement before. This time, the rebellion may be caused by someone!"
"So what you mean is to find out the cause of this matter first, and then deal with it?" Xiao Changgong looked at him thoughtfully and asked lightly, unable to hear the change in his voice.
Fang Shixian could not figure out the temper of the crown prince, so he could only nod carefully and said yes.
