The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

After Li Chenghan received the order, Dai Quan respectfully handed over the imperial edict and the imperial seal to Li Chenghan one after another.

Outside...

A large number of imperial guards began to mobilize.

Prince Yizhong and the deputy commander of the imperial guards led a team of imperial guards to rush to Wanshou Palace.

The sudden mobilization of the imperial guards soon aroused the vigilance of other imperial guards.

As the uninformed imperial guards came forward to interrogate, a killing began in the palace.

When the shouts of killing rang out, the other imperial guards who heard the noise rushed over.

The eunuchs and palace maids were also in a mess.

The commander of the imperial guards also got the news and made arrangements at the first time.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"Prince Yi Zhong and the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards have rebelled!

They are now leading a large number of Imperial Guards who have already rebelled and are heading towards the Wanshou Palace!"

As the shouts and screams became more and more frequent, many Imperial Guards who did not react and were unaware were killed.

A young eunuch reported to the eunuchs outside the Wanshou Palace, and Lan rushed into the bedroom of the Wanshou Palace.

Immediately, without caring about anything else, he knelt in front of the bedroom door and reported loudly to Emperor Jian'an who was lying on the bed.

"What!"

Listening to the young eunuch's report, all the royal relatives, princes and ministers in the Wanshou Palace were shocked.

They thought that Prince Yi Zhong was late and had forgotten about him.

But Prince Yi Zhong was not late, but was planning a rebellion!

Emperor Jian'an, who was already very opposed to rebellion because his own son rebelled against him, could no longer hold back and died after hearing that Prince Yi Zhong led the deputy commander of the imperial guards to rebel.

"What should we do!"

"How dare Prince Yi Zhong do this!"

"This is really treasonous, treasonous!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to kill and mobilize the Kyoto camp troops to enter the palace to quell the rebellion!"

As Emperor Jian'an died, the shocked ministers cursed Prince Yi Zhong.

Wang Ziteng knelt on the ground and asked for the emperor's orders, who had already died.

"Your Majesty!"

After listening to Wang Ziteng's request, Emperor Jian'an did not reply for a long time.

The people who were making a fuss gradually realized that something was wrong.

Dai Quan looked at the Emperor Jian'an who was staring and breathless, and then he carefully went forward to check.

But after checking, he found that Emperor Jian'an was really dead, and Dai Quan collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty~ Your Majesty has passed away!"

After collapsing to the ground, Dai Quan announced the death of Emperor Jian'an in a trembling voice when everyone's heart was in their throat.

"Your Majesty..."

"Father!"

"Your Majesty~Ahhh..."

"Your Majesty!"

After Dai Quan's confirmation, a minister screamed on the spot!

It turned out that the people present were all royal relatives,The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt down.

Then came the crying of Li Chenghan and others.

The eunuchs who heard the noise outside the palace also began to kneel down.

At this time, no matter whether it was true or false, the emperor was gone, even if it was just a pretense, they would cry and wail.

After all, the new emperor is still here!

Even if it is not to please the new emperor, it is necessary to do so for a good reputation.

"Prince, now is not the time to be sad.

Now Prince Yizhong and the deputy commander of the imperial army are coming with the rebels!

Prince, you have to cheer up and take charge of the situation!"

After crying for a while, listening to the fighting outside, the screams became more and more.

Su Zhi wiped his tears, and the heavy responsibility softened slightly towards Li Chenghan.

"Yes, Prince, now that His Majesty has passed the throne to you, you must shoulder the heavy responsibility at this time, and you must not let the rebellion succeed!"

Prince Zhongshun also hurriedly persuaded Li Chenghan.

With Su Zhi and Prince Zhongshun taking the lead, the other ministers, whether they were sincere or false, also persuaded Li Chenghan.

"Don't worry, everyone! The palace is not a place for rebellion!"

"It's Uncle Yi Zhong. If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't..."

"Since he dared to do this, don't blame me for being cold-blooded!"

Under the persuasion of everyone, Li Chenghan also acted as if he had recovered from his grief.

Immediately, Li Chenghan waved his hand at everyone, telling them not to worry.

But soon Li Chenghan's eyes showed a fierce light, and he angrily and resolutely rebuked Prince Yi Zhong for rebelling and killing Emperor Jian'an.

"Prince! But your majesty still has a hand?"

Li Chenghan's words made everyone quiet.

Su Zhi frowned and asked Li Chenghan.

"Five thousand eunuchs, each of them is a master who can fight several people alone!

As long as not all the imperial guards rebel, they are more than enough to deal with it."

Li Chenghan's face showed no expression, and he slowly said what he, no, to be exact, Emperor Jian'an had left behind.

Listening to Li Chenghan's words, everyone present was shocked.

Even Dai Quan was confused.

He didn't say that his spies were all over the palace, but he knew the situation of Emperor Jian'an very well.

So, let alone, he had many spies in the palace. If one or two of them sneaked in, he might not know, but he didn't know that five thousand people had entered the palace without knowing it.

Secondly, not to mention how much time and money it takes to train five thousand eunuch masters, he should have known that Emperor Jian'an secretly formed five thousand people!

So, let alone five thousand eunuchs!

Could it be that he had already lost favor with Emperor Jian'an and he didn't know?

But this is not right. Even if he had lost favor, he should have heard the slightest rumor.

Outside...

The commander of the imperial guards led the imperial guards to resist the rebels

"Commander, it is known that there are nearly 10,000 rebels, and they are now attacking the Wanshou Palace!"

A general came to the commander of the Imperial Guards and said to him with a serious face.

"Where are our people?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards asked the reporting general with a serious face.

"Because we were all acquainted brothers before, when these rebels rebelled at the beginning, many of our brothers were killed before they could react.

That is why the rebels are now so powerful, and our brothers' morale seems a little low because the rebels rushed to the harem!"

"In addition, we have always been on the defensive and have no geographical advantage, so if the Kyoto camp does not enter the capital in time to defend the king, I am afraid that within an hour, the rebels may break through our defense and kill to the Wanshou Palace to hold His Majesty hostage!"

The general took a deep breath and reported to the commander of the Imperial Guards truthfully.

"Ten thousand rebels, it seems that my job as the commander of the imperial guards has come to an end!"

The commander of the imperial guards smiled bitterly, and after a deep self-mockery, his eyes began to become determined.

"Pass on my order, counterattack at all costs!

Today, as long as the rebels are driven out of the palace, this commander and you will all be heroes, and we will be promoted, given titles, and have all the money and rewards we want!

If the rebels break through our defense, we will be sinners for all eternity!"

The commander of the imperial guards gritted his teeth and gave an order to the general beside him, then drew the sword at his waist and prepared to go into battle to kill the enemy.
