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

Compared to the undercurrents in Yudu, the Yu Palace was also not peaceful. However, there was one place in the Yu Palace that was very calm: the Ganlu Hall!

Last night there was both flooding and lightning. Chu Ling knew that new troubles were bound to arise, but what impact would it have on him?

No.

The journey from Daxing Hall to Ganlu Hall was almost identical; unauthorized personnel were not allowed to approach him, and the area outside the hall was heavily guarded. Well, if there were any differences, there were some.

The guards outside the palace were changed from imperial guards to eunuchs.

Also, Chu Ling can read books now, lots and lots of books!

As the place where the Emperor of Dayu studied in the inner palace, Ganlu Hall housed a large collection of classic books. After the lightning strike and the disappearance of the man named Xia Wang, Chu Ling began to read various books after much thought. He read them quickly, not seeking to master the essence of each book, but only hoping to piece together more useful information from them.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ling forgot to sleep.

Perhaps due to the transmigration, Chu Ling discovered that his memory was significantly stronger than in his previous life; he could remember everything he had ever seen.

If this talent were possessed by a scholar of the Great Yu, he would undoubtedly be a prodigy, his fame spreading throughout the world and becoming a legend among the scholars of the Great Yu.

Unfortunately, Chu Ling is the heir apparent of the Great Yu Dynasty. When the coronation ceremony is held, Chu Ling will become the emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty. He can't just create a fake identity and then pass the imperial examination with flying colors, can he?

This is not something Chu Ling should do.

"It's strange, this Great Yu Dynasty has quite a few similarities to the era of my previous life." Lying on the couch, Chu Ling held a book in his hand, crossed his legs and pondered to himself.

"There was an imperial examination system, which originated in the Great Yu Dynasty. The previous dynasty used a recommendation system, which was just a selection process, but there were quite a few that didn't match up."

"At least the territory doesn't match up. This continent seems different from Shenzhou. Da Yu only occupies the center, and Nanzhao, which Da Yu has labeled as a remnant, has a territory that is no smaller than Da Yu's. The key is that it is surrounded by the sea on three sides. What exactly is the structure of this continent?"

"Beyond this continent, besides the boundless sea, are there other continents? If so, did they harbor civilizations?"

The more Chu Ling learned, the more curious he became about the complete picture of the world he inhabited.

Chu Ling is already the successor emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty. Well, even if he is just a puppet used as a mascot, he is still an emperor. Therefore, his perspective on issues is that of the highest authority.

When he finally takes sole power and officially assumes personal rule, he will inevitably have to face the world head-on. If Chu Ling doesn't even know what the world is like, how can he act as emperor in the future?

squeak~

The sound of the palace doors opening interrupted Chu Ling's thoughts.

"Please, Your Majesty, move your carriage!"

A cold voice rang out, causing Chu Ling to frown slightly. He had only arrived at Ganlu Palace last night and hadn't stayed long before he had to move again. Anger welled up in Chu Ling's heart.

Even if it's a puppet, you can't treat it like this!

Chu Ling got up from the couch and looked at the unfamiliar group of people in front of him. Judging from their appearance, they were eunuchs. At the back of the group, Chu Ling saw a familiar figure.

Li Zhong!

Clearly, this must be the intention of the three queens.

"Let's go."

Having guessed all this, Chu Ling suppressed his anger and made a move to put on his boots and get up. Upon seeing this, the leading eunuch hurriedly lowered his head and stepped forward to serve Chu Ling.

"Have Li Zhong serve me."

But Chu Ling's words made the man stop in his tracks.

Many of the eunuchs gathered in the hall looked at Li Zhong warily.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Zhong lowered his head and walked quickly toward the emperor. At this moment, Li Zhong's heart was beating faster. Chu Ling was unaware of the situation outside the palace, but he knew some things.

Public opinion against the successor emperor has begun to emerge in Yudu.

This enraged the three empresses!

Since last night, many people have died in the Yu Palace, and everyone is in a state of panic. The most dead are the newly recruited eunuchs in the Yu Palace.

This is the lowest-ranking eunuch in the inner court.

According to some of the information Li Zhong knew, some of the eunuchs who were killed actually had unclear and ambiguous relationships with prominent figures in Yudu.

This is outrageous!

Where shall I move my carriage to?

Sitting on the couch, Chu Ling looked at Li Zhong, who was serving him, and asked, "Are we going back to Daxing Palace?"

"Reporting to the Emperor."

Li Zhongxin's heart tightened, and his hand trembled slightly involuntarily. "The Daxing Palace was partially burned down. The successor emperor cannot return yet. He needs to travel to the Imperial Garden."

"Let's go then."

Chu Ling glanced at Li Zhong, then got up from the couch. Li Zhong's subtle reactions made Chu Ling realize that today's events must be the intention of the Three Queens.

Chu Ling was unaware that the Third Empress was not doing this to prevent him from reading the books in the Ganlu Hall and thus learning something, but that was exactly what Chu Ling thought.

"Unfortunately, I have already read all the books that are worth reading here. Whether I stay in Ganlu Palace or not is of no concern to me!"

Chu Ling got up and walked out of the hall. His appearance remained unchanged, but he had some thoughts in his heart. However, he was very disgusted by this situation of being manipulated by others.

"It seems that even the emperor is not omnipotent. Without military power, no one will take you seriously. But right now, being so heavily guarded, how can you possibly gain military power?"

Chu Ling was well aware of his situation, so for the first time, he felt confused about how to break the deadlock, especially after learning about the various aspects of the Great Yu.

Although Chu Ling knew that there were people in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to approach him, the Yu Palace was heavily guarded at the moment, especially with three powerful figures in between. Even if he wanted to make contact, he would have to find an opportunity first.

But where are the opportunities?

Where exactly is Xia Wang?

The moment Chu Ling stepped out of the hall, he thought of Xia Wang. However, this passive feeling left Chu Ling feeling helpless. Right now, he seemed to have no other choice but to wait for an opportunity.

"It's snowing again."

Watching the drifting snowflakes, Chu Ling exclaimed softly. The Ganlu Palace was covered in a layer of silver. The eunuchs standing everywhere were covered in snow. Chu Ling felt cold just looking at them, but they stood upright like statues. If it weren't for the occasional movement of the eunuchs' eyes, Chu Ling would have thought they were frozen stiff.

"Your Majesty, it's windy. Let me put a cloak on you." Chu Ling stood still, while the eunuch beside Li Zhong bowed his head and walked towards Chu Ling.

"Let's go."

After putting on his cloak, Chu Ling said something and walked out towards the sedan chair placed in front of the palace.

"The succeeding emperor has moved his carriage!!"

"The succeeding emperor has moved his carriage!!"

As Chu Ling moved, chants echoed throughout the Ganlu Palace. The crowd, braving the wind and snow, all knelt in obeisance. With such utmost respect, Chu Ling boarded the imperial sedan chair, and the imperial carriage quickly headed towards the Imperial Garden. The Ganlu Palace remained standing there, unchanged...
