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

"My lord, I heard that someone was beaten to death in the Phoenix Palace."

Liang Huang bent over and handed the hand warmer to Sun Li.

"Is it because of Liu Chen, or the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Sun Li took it and glanced at Liang Huang.

"This servant doesn't know either."

Liang Huang replied, "I heard that the person initially wanted to see His Majesty, but for some reason, someone was beaten to death."

"Still so impatient."

Sun Li sighed softly, her eyes filled with disappointment, and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. How is Linghua Palace? What was her reaction when she saw that list?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is somewhat surprised."

Liang Huang truthfully replied, "This servant could sense that the Empress Dowager had something she wanted to ask this servant, but in the end she didn't say it. Instead, she asked this servant a question."

"What did you ask?"

Sun Li leaned against the cushion and looked at Liang Huang.

"Ask His Majesty if he is aware of this matter."

Liang Huang lowered his head and said.

"How did you answer?"

Sun Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sun Li attached great importance to the selection of candidates for the emperor, and this matter could not be handled with any mistakes. If Huang Hua made any wrong moves in this matter, Sun Li would not mind doing something else.

Since returning to the palace from Shanglin Garden, Chu Ling has done quite a lot. Although Sun Li couldn't guess why he did so, he was satisfied with Chu Ling's actions.

This is the kind of performance the Emperor of Great Yu should have!

What the Great Yu Dynasty needs now is an emperor with principles, ideas, and ambition, not a young ruler who hasn't even been weaned yet.

If that's the case, no matter how much she does, she won't be able to change the current situation of Dayu.

"This servant said that His Majesty already knew about this matter before he returned to the palace."

Liang Huang truthfully replied, "Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager said that the selection of concubines was a matter of great importance and needed to be discussed with the Emperor before a decree could be issued to clarify the matter."

He knows when to advance and when to retreat.

Sun Li raised an eyebrow, her impression of Huang Hua had changed considerably.

She knew better than anyone that if Chu Ling wanted to seize power and rule personally, he had to rely on his maternal relatives. Within the Huang clan, there had to be someone who could uphold the family's reputation.

Judging from the current outcome, Sun Li knows that her grandson only values ​​Huang Long, and based on her observations over the past few days, Huang Long is indeed not simple.

So young yet so composed.

He is a malleable talent.

According to Sun Bin, Huang Long has certain talent, and if he can hone his skills further, he will surely stand out on the battlefield in the future.

"Let's wait until tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Sun Li said, "Go to Linghua Palace again and tell her that I am feeling tired and that she can make her own decision about the selection of concubines."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liang Huang immediately bowed and said.

But a sense of surprise arose in Liang Huang's heart.

He knew that his master was doing this to provoke the one in Fengluan Palace. After all, the selection of concubines was extremely important. Changle Palace was not interfering, so according to the rules, Fengluan Palace should be in charge. But in the end, Linghua Palace was the one in charge. Based on his understanding, Fengluan Palace would definitely not give up.

"My lord, should we tell His Majesty about this?"

Thinking of this, Liang Huang hesitated for a moment.

"Are you saying the emperor isn't tired enough already?"

Sun Li snorted coldly and looked at Liang Huang, saying, "Does such a trivial matter need to alarm the emperor?"

"I acknowledge my guilt."

Leung Wong immediately knelt down on the ground.

To be honest, the Emperor's recent actions, especially appointing Liu Chen as Minister of the Imperial Guard and establishing the Embroidered Uniform Guard, have shocked Liang Huang immensely.

Especially the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

It seemed that a group of people had been drawn from the Imperial Guard to form the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but this matter was not that simple. Liang Huang was thinking about something.

If the emperor could establish the Embroidered Uniform Guard, wouldn't he also establish other ones?

The emperor's bottom line is truly unfathomable.

"Your Majesty, now that the Prince Consort of Wu'an has been appointed Minister of the Imperial Guard, should the Censorate expose the matter of the armory and granaries?" Liang Huang asked, bowing his head.

"no need."

Sun Li waved his hand and said, "The emperor already knew about this. Since he knows, then we should do as the emperor says. Also, remove the people who are monitoring Han Qing."

"Yes."

Liang Huang bowed and said.

Having gone through so much, trust is a luxury for Sun Li. She cannot afford the slightest oversight; a single wrong step could lead to an irreparable mistake.

Based on the information we had previously gathered, Han Qing had not betrayed her trust. Everything he had done was for the sake of the Great Yu and the nation. Since that was the case, there was no need to do anything else.

"Also, remove the people you've placed around Xiao Jing."

Sun Li said wearily, "Since the Emperor has specially established the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I think the Emperor should also arrange for people to take over the Six Doors' secret service."

"Xiao Jing, as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, will likely bear even heavier responsibilities in the future. The Emperor will not accept such a position, where he is in charge of such an institution."

A storm raged in Leung Wong's heart.

If what their master said is true, then that emperor is truly too cunning.

Leung Wong is curious about one thing now.

How many underhanded schemes did the emperor employ in the Shanglin Garden?

Don't think about things you shouldn't.

Sun Li handed the hand warmer to Liang Huang, saying, "Do your job well."

"My slave understands!"

Liang Huang immediately reached out and took it, bowing his head hurriedly.

Liang Huang could easily understand the subtle hints his master was giving him; the current situation was gradually changing due to the emperor's actions.

Leung Wong knew one thing for sure: more trouble was likely to follow.

What he had to do was to truthfully report everything he had learned to his master.

"Go down."

Sun Li leaned against the soft cushion and slowly closed her eyes.

Liang Huang did not speak, but got up and retreated out of the hall.

He has some things to take care of personally.

Given the current situation, no further developments are possible. Only by completely eliminating certain individuals can this potential threat be eradicated.

Liang Huang had done countless dirty and tiring jobs like this.

It may seem ruthless, but in the struggle for power, such things are unavoidable.

"Grandson, I'm getting more and more curious about what you'll do next." After Liang Huang left, Sun Li slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips, and muttered to himself.

"Some of the things you've done are things I never even expected. It seems that during your three years in Shanglin Garden, you've already figured out how to rule this world."

As for Sun Li now, she is not afraid that Chu Ling is very capable, even if it overshadows her majesty. What she fears most is that Chu Ling talks a big game but does little. If that happens, it will be too late.

Because the current Great Yu Dynasty simply cannot change its emperor. If it were to do so, Great Yu would be doomed. Fortunately, the worries hidden in her heart were unnecessary.

That's fine.

In this way, Sun Li could do things without any worries, because she knew that the one in the Daxing Palace was in control of the overall situation.
