At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

The conflict Chu Ling had imagined did not occur. Chu Hong, Chu Biao, and Chu Jun, who emerged from the crowd, knelt on the snow with sorrowful expressions under the gaze of countless eyes. They did not care how the three empresses, who had already reached the Shouhuang Hall, would react to their cries, nor did they care what the crowd behind them were thinking when they saw them like this.

The three men then spoke in turn.

Although their presentations may differ in perspective and meaning, the core content is remarkably similar. In short, the late emperor has passed away suddenly, the auspicious site for his mausoleum has not yet been determined and construction has begun, and the state of the Great Yu is in dire straits. As members of the imperial clan, they are willing to set an example by donating silver to build a mausoleum!

Well, they're getting their hands on supervising the construction of the mausoleum.

After listening to what the three had to say, Chu Ling's gaze towards Chu Hong and the others changed. It was clear that they had a master behind them. Since the successor to the throne had been decided and their initial advantage was gone, they should settle for second best and continue to stay in Yudu, accumulating strength while gaining fame and recognition!

Chu Ling clenched her fists tightly.

My situation is precarious!

In a rush, he was pulled out to become the successor emperor of the Great Yu. Not only did he guess his own situation, but many people in the capital of Yu also saw it, so scheming followed.

Following the unclear allegiance of the Grand Empress Dowager's faction, the Empress Dowager's faction, and the Empress's faction, and with the sudden death of the late Emperor, another group of people who flooded into the inner court were also plotting something after the aforementioned individuals vied for the successor to the throne, based on the changing circumstances.

It seems that only Chu Hong, Chu Biao, and Chu Jun have emerged, but in reality, how many people are behind them, and what factions they belong to, is something Chu Ling cannot easily determine.

Chu Ling, who is already the heir to the throne, is not valued by anyone, and even people plot against him. Anyone would find this situation unbearable.

Time was passing by, second by second.

"Your Majesty, let's return to the imperial palace first." Li Zhong sensed something was amiss and whispered to Chu Ling, "At this time, we must adhere to the patriarchal system and etiquette..."

"Is it not even allowed for me to see my elder brother?"

Chu Ling showed no joy or sorrow at Li Zhong's caution, speaking calmly.

Li Zhong remained silent, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the crowd in front of the Shouhuang Hall. Many people were already whispering among themselves. Chu Hong, Chu Biao, and Chu Jun were still kneeling, waiting for the three empresses' imperial edicts.

But for Li Zhong, who was extremely shrewd, how could he not see the abnormality? The longer the delay, the greater the blow to the successor emperor.

A perfectly good memorial service for the late emperor's coffin was brought to a standstill by the appearance of these three people. As the successor emperor, Chu Ling had no decision-making power and could only wait for the imperial edicts of the three empresses. What were the royal relatives, civil and military officials who came to pay their respects thinking?

Not to mention that from the very beginning, the selection of Chu Ling as the heir apparent at the tender age of eight already sparked considerable doubt and private discussion.

To put it bluntly, many people don't think that a mere child can govern and rule the Great Yu well!

The anticipated conflict didn't occur, so what could Chu Ling do?

Even now, his situation is more passive than the imperial edict from the three empresses just now. The only thing Chu Ling can use is his age, which everyone thinks is not good.

The wind suddenly picked up.

Snowflakes are falling.

Chu Ling raised his head and walked towards the Shouhuang Hall. He wanted to establish an image of remembrance for the late emperor and to demonstrate his worship of him.

This kind of worship is the younger brother's worship of the older brother.

Chu Ling's young age is a given fact and a major weakness, which makes it normal for many people to be pessimistic about him. However, Chu Ling cannot be seen as incompetent or unworthy to be the successor emperor of the Great Yu. In such circumstances, what else can he rely on besides what he is doing now to demonstrate this?

If he wants to demonstrate his abilities, who will give him that opportunity?

In other words, if Chu Ling were to display such extraordinary talent, some people might become restless. Being too clever at a young age can lead people to take risks!

"Imperial Edict of the Three Empresses".

As Chu Ling continued forward, amidst the whispers of the crowd, the person who had returned reappeared in front of the Shouhuang Hall. This time, his attitude was resolute, and his expression was cold.

"The three princes of Su, Wei, and Jing have overstepped their bounds by disrupting the memorial service for the late emperor's coffin. They are hereby stripped of their princely titles and ordered by the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs to be strictly guarded by the Imperial Guards. They are to be confined to the residence of the Ten Princes immediately!"

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

No one expected that the Third Empress would issue such an imperial edict. Chu Hong, Chu Biao, and Chu Jun were dumbfounded, as this was completely different from what they had anticipated.

This is wrong!

Why is this happening!

Such thoughts were not only in the minds of Chu Hong, Chu Biao, and Chu Jun; many people gathered in front of the Shouhuang Hall also had similar ideas.

"Empress Dowager! I have an objection!!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Empress Dowager..."

Almost simultaneously, many ministers rushed out from the crowd, their expressions varied, and they bowed and paid their respects in the direction of the Shouhuang Hall with loud voices.

The situation has reversed.

But Chu Ling stopped.

He suddenly realized something: Chu Hong, Chu Biao, and Chu Jun's public statements weren't just about wanting to stay in the capital and gain fame, or about looking down on him; a deeper test was actually a test of the three empresses!

Some people want to see what the relationship between the three empresses is like as they compromise and make concessions to each other under the new political situation in the Yu Dynasty.

Ok.

Chu Ling, who was only eight years old, became the successor emperor as a child. The key point is that he was also the illegitimate son whom Emperor Taizong disliked the most. This indeed put Chu Ling on a pedestal and made him the target of everyone's criticism.

But if we look at it another way, what about the third one?

With the sudden death of the late emperor, the situation in the Great Yu Kingdom has changed. The unprecedented event of three empresses ruling as regents will become a reality after Chu Ling ascends the throne.

What exactly were the relationships between the three queens, and what were their respective factions like? This is something many people are eager to find out, including members of their respective factions.

Therefore, the most dazzling ones are undoubtedly the three queens!

Their attitudes and interactions are constantly under scrutiny, and the resulting ripples could potentially trigger a series of unforeseen events.

Their cunning is truly astounding!

At this moment, Chu Ling was filled with many thoughts. Although he had not met the three empresses since taking over the Daxing Palace, at this moment, Chu Ling had a completely new understanding of them.

So what if she's a woman? Do you dare underestimate her?

Chu Ling suddenly realized something. Although his situation seemed dangerous and awkward, he had three powerful backers supporting him. In fact, many storms were blocked by these three mountains. What he had to do was survive in the gap between these three mountains.

In this way, what seemed like a very dangerous situation became less dangerous. But then again, if Chu Ling wanted to survive under the three great mountains, he had to find a way to change the external situation; otherwise, he would have no chance at all, and everything would be back to square one...
