.....
The emperor was already old, and even though he spent most of his time sitting in his carriage, by the time he arrived at the imperial mausoleum that was under construction, he was exhausted both mentally and physically.
Outside, the emperor heard the officials' greetings. He did not get out of the car immediately. He closed his eyes for a while and then walked down slowly.
When getting off the car, he noticed that the person lying on the ground to support his feet was not a eunuch, but the commander Yuan Chang.
Although he didn't say anything, the emperor was already unhappy.
"I have plenty of eunuchs to stand on, why do I need you, the commander of the imperial guards?"
The emperor attached great importance to the imperial guards, and using the commander of the imperial guards as a stepping stone had nothing to do with respect to him.
"If that old servant were still alive, he would never let Yuan Chang do this today."
The emperor suddenly missed Gao Shun a little, but then he shook his head to get rid of the thought.
Surrounded by a crowd of people, he walked into the imperial mausoleum.
“Where are the terracotta warriors?”
The first thing the emperor did when entering the imperial mausoleum was to inspect the terracotta figurines. The local officials were well prepared and immediately led the way.
But as we were walking, there was suddenly a huge noisy sound outside.
Seeing the emperor frowning, Commander Yuan Chang hurried out to check the situation.
After a while...
"It's bad, Your Majesty! The traitor Ge Chongtian somehow got the news and is here with his rebel army -"
Yuan Chang looked flustered. After finishing his report, he waited anxiously for the emperor's order.
Ge Chongtian?
Wasn't he in Langya County? How could he suddenly come here? !
The emperor calculated the distance and felt that it was impossible, but the shouting and screaming outside forced him to accept the fact.
"The rebels are invading, and as the commander, why are you standing here in front of me like an idiot instead of going out to command the imperial guards to repel the enemy?"
The emperor said angrily, "How many troops does Ge Chongtian have? At most, there are no more than 2,000. There are 2,500 imperial guards outside. I don't believe that we can't defeat Ge Chongtian!"
After being scolded by the emperor, Yuan Chang's legs were trembling and he seemed unable to stand steadily.
Seeing his ugly appearance, the emperor's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
'This man is not a capable general.'
But even so, the emperor now has no choice except Yuan Chang.
Changing generals in the middle of a battle is a big taboo, and if he were to command the army himself, he might be even worse than Yuan Chang.
After all, he is a commander and his job is to do this.
"I believe in the Imperial Guards, and I also believe in you, my dear minister. We just need to hold out for a while, and the county soldiers will swarm here. When we attack from both sides, Ge Chongtian will have no way to escape."
The emperor forced a smile and said, "Go quickly. I am waiting to promote you."
.....
After watching Yuan Chang go away, the emperor stopped smiling and stood there motionless with a gloomy face.
At this time, a eunuch came over and offered a suggestion: "Your Majesty, why don't you temporarily evacuate under the protection of the imperial guards? Your body is worth a million gold..."
"I am the ruler of the world. How can I flee in front of a traitor?"
Especially since this is the emperor's mausoleum, if that old man knew about this, he might be watching us right now!
Anywhere else, the emperor could have retreated in humiliation for the sake of safety.
Only not here!
Although they could not see the battle situation outside, the officials in the imperial mausoleum realized that something was wrong from the increasingly clear shouts and screams.
Voices begging the emperor to evacuate quickly continued to be heard, but the latter's face turned pale and he remained gritting his teeth without saying a word.
"I'll go outside and take a look."
A minister ran out to take a look and was shocked to see that the imperial guards were in chaos and fighting on their own, and the rebels were about to come in!
He was loyal and did not run away immediately out of fear. Instead, he returned to the imperial mausoleum and reported the situation to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me—"
After saying this, the man gave a look to his colleagues, then stepped forward and held the emperor's arm.
"presumptuous!"
The emperor's angry rebuke not only failed to make the man let go, but also attracted more people to drag him along.
Because he struggled so hard, the ministers had no choice but to work together to carry him out of the imperial tomb.
"Brother, the dog emperor is running away!"
Hearing this, Ge Chongtian, whose face was covered in blood, swung the steel knife even more frantically.
"Kill, kill, kill before you get to that carriage and capture the dog emperor alive!"
As soon as the five words "Capture the Dog Emperor alive" were uttered, the surrounding desperadoes seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and rushed towards the carriage with strange howls.
"Gee, gee—"
The eunuch driving the carriage kept looking back and shouted in despair: "My Lords, we can't squeeze so many people into the carriage. The horses are running too slowly and none of us can escape!"
After a moment's silence, people got off the bus one after another, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
But during this delay, Ge Chongtian had already killed his way through the imperial guards and rushed over like a demon.
