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

"It's become a puppet."

Upon seeing this scene, Chu Ling immediately understood what was going on. Man proposes, God disposes; no matter how well he planned, it seemed to be of no use.

A puppet emperor?

That was ruthless!

Under the bows of Li Zhong and his entourage, and under the watchful eyes of Chu Hong and Chu Biao, Chu Ling slowly rose expressionlessly and looked up towards the direction of Yu Palace.

However, too many buildings blocked Chu Ling's view.

He had no choice but to accept it.

"Let's go."

Chu Ling sighed softly and took a step forward. What else could he do but accept it?

reject?

Does he have the right to refuse?

question?

He was chosen as the successor emperor, yet he publicly questioned his choice?

How ridiculous this is...

Chu Hong, Chu Biao, and the others, who were standing there, stared at Chu Ling with different expressions.

"Let's go!!"

Li Zhong, who was kneeling, quickly stood up and said loudly.

Several guards who were originally kneeling on one knee appeared in full view of everyone. They bowed their heads and walked to Chu Ling, then knelt on one knee.

This sedan chair is quite unique.

Chu Ling felt a sense of amusement. Although he didn't want to sit, someone was already helping him, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Anyone familiar with the outer court knows just how prestigious the identities of these people who came out are.

The person bowing and supporting Chu Ling at the moment is Sun Ben, the eldest son of Grand Marshal and General Sun He.

The remaining four are Zong Zhi, the eldest son of Zong Chuan, the Grand Marshal and General of Chariots and Cavalry; Chang Feng, the eldest son of Chang Li, the Grand Marshal and General of Chariots and Cavalry; Xu Bin, the eldest son of Xu Chu, the Duke of Qing; and Shangguan Xiu, the eldest son of Shangguan Hong, the Duke of Jiang!

If that's the case, and Li Zhong can still forge imperial edicts, then the Yu Dynasty might as well just perish.

"How do we break this deadlock?"

As Chu Ling was helped to sit down, he felt a bit uncomfortable on his bottom, but he was thinking about one thing: was he destined to be a puppet emperor for the rest of his life?

This won't do!

The synonym for a puppet emperor is short-lived!

He hadn't even gotten to know the Yu Dynasty before he was imprisoned in the deep palace. As he grew older, he was then unexpectedly killed off. What kind of situation is this?

"Let's go!!"

Regardless of what Chu Ling thought, Li Zhong and his group had already set off, and no one paid any attention to the crowd remaining in front of the Tenth Prince's Mansion.

The successor emperor has been chosen.

Although Chu Ling was chosen, none of the guards said anything, even though they had doubts in their hearts. It was not something they could interfere with.

After all, the current political situation is not something they can interfere with.

Their ancestors and fathers were still active in the court. As sons of noble families, they seemed to have no other choice but to be selected into the Imperial Guard according to regulations and after reaching adulthood, and to painstakingly accumulate seniority.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, landing on Chu Ling.

The cold wind made Chu Ling feel very cold.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Chu Ling looked at the imperial city buildings in front of him. Apart from the endless white, there seemed to be nothing else.

Creak~

Apart from the sound of footsteps in the snow, there seemed to be no other sounds. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a splash of red in the distance came into view.

The palace walls were as red as blood.

Nearly.

closer.

The towering palace walls came into Chu Ling's view.

On the palace walls.

Hundreds of armored warriors stood scattered about, standing like statues, with white ribbons tied around their helmets and waists, and a thin layer of snow covering their bodies.

woo-

It was at this moment that a deep horn sounded.

The palace gates, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened. As Chu Ling and his entourage approached, a large group of people emerged from the side gates on either side of the main gate, their heads bowed.

Leading the procession were a dozen or so robust eunuchs who carried the sedan chair with remarkable speed.

"Please, Your Majesty, move your carriage!"

Li Zhong, who had been by her side the whole time, sang at this moment.

The procession of guards that had been marching on came to a halt.

Sun Ben lowered his head slightly, helped Chu Ling, and stepped down from the sedan chair.

"Welcome the new emperor to the Great Xing Palace!!"

As soon as Chu Ling stood firm, shouts rang out, and a group of burly eunuchs carried the sedan chair to Chu Ling's side and knelt down on the ground.

"The succeeding emperor has moved his carriage!!"

Li Zhong lowered his head and sang.

Haha~

In this situation, Chu Ling wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

Once you sit in this sedan chair and enter this palace gate, it's like entering a besieged city. What you'll experience and what will happen next, only heaven knows.

Chu Ling looked up at the palace wall, and as his gaze swept over it, all the guards on duty on the wall took several steps back and knelt on one knee.

"Let's go."

Upon seeing this, Chu Ling lost all interest and walked toward the sedan chair in front of him.

"The succeeding emperor has moved his carriage!!"

Li Zhong sang, and then followed closely behind Chu Ling. When Chu Ling reached the sedan chair, Li Zhong reached out to help Chu Ling.

As Chu Ling sat in the sedan chair, a dozen or so burly eunuchs lifted it up.

Snapped--

The sound of whips cracking echoed throughout the area.

"Let's go!!"

A dozen voices rang out in unison, and the sedan chair moved slowly forward. Chu Ling, sitting in the sedan chair, did not feel much shaking, and the procession proceeded according to regulations.

As Chu Ling passed through the palace gate, he heard a piercing sound as the gate slammed shut, signifying that Chu Ling was no longer connected to the outside world.

No one knew what Chu Ling was thinking at that moment.

Of course, most people don't want to know either.

With the sudden death of the new emperor, the Yu Palace could not be without an emperor. Now that the Yu Palace has welcomed a new emperor, some people's hearts have been put at ease.

Although some people were surprised that Chu Ling became the successor emperor, it seemed that this was not something they could decide, and they had no other choice but to accept it.

'The succeeding emperor's temperament seems to differ from that of the other princes.'

Li Zhong, who was following beside the sedan chair, had been observing Chu Ling the whole time. Contrary to his expectations, Chu Ling did not seem to be happy or unhappy.

There was even less crying and fussing.

This was clearly beyond Li Zhong's expectations.

As a junior official in the Daxing Palace, he was one of the people who served in front of the emperor before the new emperor passed away. There were three others of the same rank as him, and there was a senior official in the Daxing Palace above Li Zhong!

He was able to receive the task of delivering imperial edicts outside the palace purely because he was pragmatic, while the other two officials in the Daxing Bureau, who were not, died quietly.

Chu Ling's quiet and unassuming demeanor only fueled Li Zhong's anxiety. Was another disturbance about to erupt in the Yu Palace soon?

Deep down, Li Zhong was still somewhat hesitant about whether or not he should make a choice.

"The succeeding emperor has arrived!!!"

A voice rang out, snapping Li Zhong back to reality. Cold sweat broke out on his back. This was supposed to be a song he was singing with another person, but he had been lost in thought.

There seems to be a breakthrough.

Chu Ling caught a glimpse of Li Zhong's changing expression out of the corner of his eye. In that instant, Chu Ling began to plan in his mind: if he wanted to get rid of the identity of a puppet emperor and the threat of a short life, he had to start by understanding the Yu Palace!
