Xiao Meng's face froze. He dropped his wine glass and rushed to Xie Xianyu's table without a care in the world. He angrily shouted, "Hasn't the rebel army been wiped out? Where did these rebels come from?!"
Xie Xianyu's lips curled slightly, and his voice was calm: "The suppression of the rebels was the work of Your Highness and Cai Zhongyu. What does it have to do with me? Why did Your Highness come to ask me?"
"you!"
Xiao Meng's face was twisted with anger, but he couldn't find anyone to blame.
Because the credit for suppressing the rebellion really belongs to him!
"Your Highness, the rebels are about to attack the palace..." the young eunuch said hurriedly.
Xiao Meng didn't bother to talk nonsense with Xie Xianyu anymore, and hurriedly issued orders: "How can they kill the capital city quietly?! Are the imperial guards just idle people?!"
"This, this servant doesn't know either."
"What about the Cavalry Battalion? Why don't you kill those rebels immediately?"
"The Cavalry Battalion is fighting bloody battles, but the rebels have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the Cavalry Battalion only has 5,000. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long!"
“Tens of thousands?!”
Xiao Meng's face instantly froze, and he was furious: "Tens of thousands of rebels quietly stormed into the capital?! How is this possible?!"
Xiao Meng turned around and glared at Xie Xianyu. Even if he was slow-witted, he guessed that this must have been his doing!
"Did you do that?!"
Xie Xianyu said calmly, "Your Highness, I am only a minister, and the Imperial Guards are not under my control."
Xiao Meng's throat was blocked by a breath, and he almost suffocated to death.
The credit for suppressing the rebels was not his, and the Imperial Guards were not under his control. With just a few words, Xie Xianyu completely shirked these responsibilities!
On the contrary, Xiao Meng, as the crown prince, had been handed over many important powers by the emperor due to his poor health, and he was also in charge of the imperial guards.
But after he came to power, he was flattered by the court officials and was too busy to attend to the celebration banquet. How could he have time to worry about these trivial matters? He left it all to the subordinates to take care of.
Because the imperial guards were also loose and chaotic, with loopholes everywhere.
"You!" Xiao Meng was so angry that he wanted to curse.
But then another young eunuch came rushing over: "Your Highness, the Cavalry Battalion can't hold on any longer!"
Xiao Meng had almost guessed what would happen to him if the rebels attacked the palace.
He didn't have time to talk to Xie Xianyu anymore as he stumbled out in a hurry, "Quick, find Cai Zhong and have him bring his troops to rescue us!"
"General Cai is outside, but he only brought back 3,000 soldiers when he returned to the capital. The remaining 100,000 troops are stationed in Linzhou. Someone must be transferred to rush over, but now the palace has been surrounded by rebels and there is no way out!"
Linzhou is not far from the capital. These 100,000 soldiers are divided into three camps and stationed in Linzhou and other places. Once there is any change in the capital, they will rush to rescue the emperor.
Under normal circumstances, even if there were rebels causing chaos, someone would have noticed them when they reached the city gate, and it would have been completely in time to send someone to deliver the message as quickly as possible.
However, these rebels had already reached the palace gate quietly, and they were trapped.
The Crown Prince's face turned pale and he looked extremely panicked. He never expected that the situation would suddenly turn out like this.
He only knew the glory of being a crown prince, but he had no ability to take on great responsibilities. However, now that he was the crown prince, all of this had to be solved by him.
Otherwise, he would either be killed by the rebels or deposed by his father.
The court officials in the palace were also terrified and panicked. The rebels had surrounded the palace. If they broke in, wouldn't they die here?!
Mr. Chen hurried over from the side hall and saw the bad news. He almost fainted.
