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

Chu Ling's fighting spirit was ignited, but he underestimated one thing: the thunder in the dead of winter would have a huge impact on the entire capital of Yu.

Because of this thunder, countless people in Yudu will be sleepless.

Because of this thunder, countless people in the capital will be sleepless.

Because of this thunder, countless people in the Yu Palace will be sleepless.

"hurry up!!"

A voice urging them to hurry broke the silence. The Secretariat was brightly lit, and Wang Rui, the Right Chancellor who was in charge of the night duty, was already dressed and waiting for news in his duty room.

Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Rui instinctively wanted to lift his robe and stand up, but then frowned and stopped. As several figures appeared outside the door, Wang Rui sat back down in his official chair, his cold eyes sweeping over them.

"Su Ze, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau official in charge of the Five Observatorys and Spirit Observatory, pays his respects to the Prime Minister!"

"Lu Feng, the official in charge of the Imperial Observatory and the Five Officials Bureau, pays his respects to the Prime Minister!"

"Imperial Observatory, Five Officials Holding Pots..."

Wang Rui frowned as he looked at the group of people in front of him. The sudden thunder in the dead of winter was by no means a good thing for the Great Yu Dynasty at present.

In fact, Wang Rui had already woken up before the thunder in the dead of winter. An abnormal cluster of firelight appeared in the direction of the Yu Palace. Many of the people on duty in the various government offices in the imperial city saw it. Wang Rui, who was fast asleep, was awakened by his confidant. After learning about this, Wang Rui was greatly shocked!

For no reason, a fire suddenly broke out in the Yu Palace; it must be a fire!

But what Wang Rui was most concerned about was exactly where the water had flowed.

What Wang Rui least wanted to see was a fire breaking out in the Daxing Palace, because if that happened, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar.

The young heir apparent's behavior in front of the Shouhuang Hall astonished many people, and many people even gathered privately after the memorial service for the deceased emperor's coffin ended.

After all, this successor emperor seemed to be different from what they thought, which meant there was something to gain. Of course, this was only the opinion of one group of people.

A thousand people have a thousand faces, and ten thousand people have ten thousand hearts. In Yudu, there are opportunists, but Yudu is not only full of such people. The Great Yu rose in a chaotic world. The founding emperor established the country with military force and ended that chaotic world, which made the whole world submit to him.

The Great Yu Kingdom has problems and long-standing issues, but it is not so fragile that it will collapse at the slightest provocation!

"Say!"

Inside the duty room, Wang Rui spoke coldly to the people in front of him.

"Prime Minister, this is a very ominous sign!!"

Su Ze, the physician with five senses and a flustered expression, raised his hand and bowed to Wang Rui, saying, "Thunder in the dead of winter is a warning, and I observed the celestial phenomena last night, the imperial star has deviated from its celestial position..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Rui felt a sudden darkness engulf his vision.

"impossible!!"

Wang Rui's angry shout rang out from the duty room, and Su Ze and the others all knelt down. They were also unwilling to believe that the celestial phenomenon they had observed was real, especially since it involved the Imperial Star. Any unusual movement of this star would shock the court and the world.

But that's just how it is.

Just as Wang Rui was about to say something, hurried footsteps sounded outside the duty room, which alerted Wang Rui. Then, a person rushed into the room.

"Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager has arrived."

The man looked flustered and turned to Wang Rui.

The Empress Dowager!

Wang Rui was startled. Before he could think of anything else, he saw Da Chang Le stride in. His face was gloomy, and when he saw Su Ze and the others, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"I have met the Prime Minister."

Da Chang Le composed himself and walked towards Wang Rui. Under Wang Rui's gaze, he raised his hand in a salute.

"Great Chang Le".

Wang Rui raised his hand in return.

Although he was the Right Chancellor of the Secretariat, the person in front of him had a very special identity. He was a confidant of the Empress Dowager. Not to mention him, even the Left Chancellor Xu Chu would have to show him respect.

Whether you beat a dog depends on its owner.

The person Da Chang Le may not be important, but what about the Empress Dowager behind him?

If anyone dares to be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, wouldn't that be disrespecting her?

"By the Empress Dowager's decree, the five officials on duty at the Imperial Observatory, namely the Lingtai Lang, Baozhang Zheng, and Qiehu Zheng, are summoned to the palace, Your Excellency. Did you hear anything just now?"

Under Wang Rui's gaze, Da Chang Le spoke coldly, but upon hearing her last words, Wang Rui felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and his hand trembled slightly.

"Never."

Wang Rui remained calm and spoke with great joy.

"Prime Minister!!"

Upon seeing this, Su Ze and the others instinctively looked at Wang Rui, but before they could say anything, several people rushed out from outside the room and quickly subdued them.

"Woooo!!"

Su Ze and the others struggled desperately, but under the restraint of the group, all their efforts seemed futile.

"In that case, we won't bother you any longer."

Da Chang Le gave Wang Rui a meaningful look, said something to him, and then turned and walked out of the room. As for Su Ze and the others, they were taken away under control.

"Prime Minister".

Upon seeing this, the person who remained instinctively looked at Wang Rui.

"What happened tonight must not be spread."

Wang Rui waved his hand to interrupt, "Also, whoever went to the Imperial Observatory, clean them up!!"

The man's heart tightened.

This is an attempt to silence witnesses.

What exactly happened that required such a complicated process?

"Oh no! The Imperial Observatory is on fire!!"

As this man pondered, shouts rang out from outside the room. Upon hearing this, Wang Rui quickly ran outside. In the darkness, it seemed as if a great fire was rising in the sky above one of the various government offices in the imperial city.

Leung Wong! You're really ruthless!!

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Rui saw the image of the Grand Emperor Chang Le in his mind. He never expected that Liang Huang had already sent someone to the Imperial Observatory before he arrived at the Secretariat.

Celestial phenomena cannot be fully observed with the naked eye; tools are required. The Imperial Observatory possessed the most complete set of star-gazing tools.

However, in such a short time, the Empress Dowager of Yu Palace learned something. Obviously, someone in the Imperial Observatory had informed the Empress Dowager.

Is the Great Yu Dynasty really about to be thrown into turmoil again?

Thinking about all this, and recalling everything that had happened before, Wang Rui felt a surge of worry and fear in his heart.

……

On the same night.

Yu Palace.

Changle Palace.

"Kill that person!!" Sun Li leaned against the cushion, her brows furrowed with exhaustion, and said to the person before her, "I don't want anyone to know about this."

"Here!"

The man immediately bowed and said...

"Is there anything unusual at Ganlu Palace?"

Sun Li spoke up.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, no."

Upon hearing this, the man quickly bowed and reported.

"The Yu Palace is no longer clean."

Sun Li's eyes were cold as she looked at the man: "Investigate for me! I want to know who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes, daring to set fire to the Daxing Palace!!"

"The servant understands."

The man bowed his head and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this servant will definitely investigate this matter."

"Go down."

Sun Li waved his hand wearily.

At this moment, Sun Li felt more exhausted than ever before. She never imagined that the Great Yu would encounter so many things; it was completely different from what she had previously thought...
