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

Two days later, Chu Ling, in the Daxing Palace, learned his new reign title: Zhengtong. Well, when he learned of this reign title, Chu Ling was stunned.

The new emperor's reign title was Yongchang.

His reign title was Zhengtong.

As for Chu Ling, he couldn't believe that the Three Emperors' Judgment would set such an extraordinary reign title for him, as if it were a declaration to the world.

However, Chu Ling was even more surprised by Li Zhong's actions.

This reign title was not among the initial drafts of the Central Secretariat. The Empress Dowager preferred Anwu, and the Empress preferred Yonghe, but there was no further discussion about the Grand Empress Dowager.

This ultimately stalled the process of selecting the reign title.

The following day, news spread from Chang Le Palace that the Empress Dowager had personally ruled the throne. This caused quite a stir, with many people coming and going from Feng Luan Palace and Chang Qiu Palace.

However, Chang Le Palace did not react to any of this.

Ultimately, the reign title was adopted as the legitimate one, but what exactly happened behind the scenes remains unknown.

So why did the Empress Dowager do this?

Upon learning this, Chu Ling felt a sense of unease. He was certain of one thing: what exactly did the reign title "Zhengtong" mean to him?

But what did he have that would make the Empress Dowager do this?

Chu Ling couldn't understand it.

What Chu Ling couldn't understand even more was that the Empress Dowager and the Empress actually tacitly approved of this reign title, and no trouble arose because of it.

I can't figure it out.

Chu Ling racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what these three were thinking. However, he didn't have much time to think about it anymore.

With the new era name officially adopted, Daxing Hall became bustling with activity.

Many people started coming and going, but Chu Ling became the busiest person.

You need to learn various etiquette rules.

Various dimensions need to be measured.

There are all sorts of things to do.

Chu Ling adapted quickly from one extreme to another, but he had to do a lot of things in a short period of time, which made him very tired.

No one cared whether Chu Ling was tired or not.

As the successor emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty, there are some things that Chu Ling must take responsibility for. Even if he is just a child, even if his succession has caused a lot of controversy, the enthronement ceremony is about to take place, and everything else must be discussed later. Right now, the important things must be done well.

At least give the world an explanation.

Time quickly came to the eve of the coronation ceremony.

It snowed that night.

Chu Ling was not asleep yet. He sat quietly on the dragon bed, seemingly thinking about something, or perhaps not thinking about anything at all. Chu Ling's eyes were fixed on one spot.

"Are you nervous?"

A voice rang out in the once silent hall. Wan Qiu'er walked out from one side, still with the same expression, and walked up to Chu Ling.

During this time, more and more people came to Daxing Palace, and Wan Qiu'er often accompanied Chu Ling. Many people had questions about this maid, but no one mentioned it.

With the coronation ceremony imminent, they all had their own matters to attend to, and no one wanted anything to go wrong at this time, given the unpredictable nature of the court.

Ok.

As an aside, the position of Left Chancellor of the Secretariat is vacant.

Xu Chu's resignation was approved by the Empress Dowager.

This incident shocked the court. No one expected that Xu Chu's resignation was actually approved by the Empress Dowager, which led many to speculate.

Chu Ling was also surprised when she learned of this.

He previously thought he could see through the three things, but now it seems he hasn't. But what does it matter?

The numerous things to do just for the coronation ceremony kept Chu Ling so busy that he had no time to think about anything else. This kind of passive busyness was something Chu Ling disliked.

But he couldn't refuse.

really.

When people are busy, they lose the ability to think. They become like puppets, constantly repeating things that seem meaningful but are ultimately meaningless.

Too many people gradually lose their will under such circumstances and eventually choose to reconcile with reality.

"Perhaps it's nervousness."

Chu Ling remained silent for a long time before looking at Wan Qiu'er and saying, "What about you? I heard you're also going with the emperor tomorrow."

Why should I be nervous?

Wan Qiu'er said, "The emperor is not a slave."

"Haha, that's right."

Chu Ling couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Wan Qiu'er, "It seems there's nothing wrong with what you're saying. Hmm, you're talking more than before."

"maybe."

Wan Qiu'er remained calm and glanced at Chu Ling.

"What will happen if I don't sleep?"

Seeing that Wan Qiu'er had returned to her usual indifference, Chu Ling was not annoyed and teased her.

"Not sleeping."

Wan Qiu'er said calmly.

"Come on then."

Chu Ling extended his hand to Wan Qiu'er.

Ok?

Wan Qiu'er frowned slightly, looking at Chu Ling warily.

"What are you thinking?"

Chu Ling laughed, "I'm only eight years old. I brought you here so you could sit down."

"Oh."

Wan Qiu'er responded, but she didn't move.

He's a really interesting person.

Chu Ling maintained his smile, but inwardly he was pondering. He realized that Wan Qiu'er seemed to be hiding many secrets, but he had not yet come across them.

Yes.

Everyone in the world, regardless of their background or family circumstances, has secrets. And under certain circumstances, secrets are the most valuable thing.

However, with the advent of worldly customs, secrets have become something that can be traded.

"You said earlier that you were willing to teach me riding and archery. Does that still stand?"

Chu Ling looked at Wan Qiu'er and said that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, and since it was almost dawn anyway, he might as well not sleep.

"count."

Wan Qiu'er nodded.

"Well."

Chu Ling laughed and said, "Once I complete my coronation ceremony, you can teach me."

"Ok?"

Wan Qiu'er looked at Chu Ling in surprise. She didn't understand why Chu Ling, who was clearly restricted in many ways, would think that he could learn riding and archery.

"how?"

Seeing this, Chu Ling looked at Wan Qiu'er and said, "Do you think I can't learn it?"

"No."

Wan Qiu'er denied it, saying, "If the Emperor wants to learn, this servant can teach him. As for other things, that's not something this servant should think about."

"Actually, you've thought about it."

"No."

Inside the hall, the voices of Chu Ling and Wan Qiu'er could be heard from time to time. Time passed by, second by second. In fact, Chu Ling was a little nervous.

After all, this was his first time being emperor and his first time experiencing a coronation ceremony. Although he was mentally strong, Chu Ling understood one thing: after the coronation ceremony, there might be an even greater crisis waiting for him.

Don't ask him how he knew.

intuition!!

This was an instinctive reaction he had whenever he encountered problems in his past life, and under such circumstances, dawn gradually broke.

Humph~

As the sound of hurried footsteps echoed outside the Daxing Hall, Chu Ling knew that his coronation ceremony was about to begin...
