The little fat man was sitting on his knees in the Hall of Houde. There was no one around him. There was a small yellow door at the door. He lowered his head and said nothing.
The little fat man originally thought that after entering the palace, he would meet the eunuchs who had been in charge of the inner palace for many days. Maybe he could use them to get rid of powerful officials like Dou Wu, or he thought he would meet the current Empress Dowager Dou, or even,
He had even prepared a lot of compliments, but things seemed to be different from what he imagined. After he entered the palace, he could not see anyone. He was taken directly into the Hall of Houde. There was only a small yellow door.
accompany.
He frowned and didn't understand why the two largest forces in the palace were unwilling to see him. Anyway, since he came to the palace, he should take a look around and get to know the world where he would live in the future. The little fat man stood up and faced towards
As he walked out the door, the small yellow door immediately stopped in front of him. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at the little fat man. He said solemnly: "The country, the ministers are preparing for the enthronement ceremony. The country is not allowed to go out."
The little fat man's face became a little ugly, and he couldn't figure out whether he was under house arrest here, or was he really not allowed to go out due to etiquette? He feigned anger and said coldly: "Get out of the way, I just want to walk around.
, won’t be too far away.”
"The country, the Queen Mother's order, cannot."
"You can follow me..."
"The country, the Queen Mother's order, cannot."
How could the little fat man not understand at this moment that he was directly under house arrest? He looked at the small yellow door for a long time and suddenly said with a smile: "Then I won't go out. Do you know when I can go to see the Queen Mother?"
"I don't know."
"When is the enthronement ceremony?"
"I don't know."
The little fat man turned around and went back, kneeling on the bed. His face was calm, but he was also a little frightened. He never thought that what would happen after entering the palace was like this. The nominal supreme leader of the Han Empire would not even be able to access this small palace.
Unable to get out, he thought to himself, what on earth is the Queen Mother going to do? Is she going to give herself a blow? Or is she going to get rid of herself and lead the government alone?
He felt that the Queen Mother would not get rid of him. He had only been in the palace for a day. If he was directly plotted to kill him, the world would be in turmoil. She could not explain it clearly. Could it be that she wanted to put him under house arrest in name only?
Puppet emperor? The more the little fat man thought about it, the more likely it became, and the more anxious he became. At this moment, there was neither Hexiu nor Xing Ziang to advise him, but he missed the two of them in his heart.
He didn't expect that there were three meals a day in the palace. During each meal, there would be several small yellow gates to bring all kinds of food from outside. It was quite rich, but there were many rules in the palace.
There was only a small plate, and he could only use his chopsticks once for each dish. He could only try to pick up as many as possible, while Xiao Huangmen was also explaining various eating rules.
It turns out that during the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaowen was most afraid of extravagance and waste, so he set a rule that the emperor could not be greedy and had to learn restraint. Therefore, when eating, there would be a small yellow door and a recordkeeper beside him. This is really
Liu Hong felt aggrieved. If he took a few more bites of these meals, the little Huangmen would recite Taizong's teachings and tell himself to be restrained. If he only took a few bites, he wouldn't be full!
No wonder I, the great Han emperor, don’t have a long life, and my relationships are starved to death by this system!
The little fat man reluctantly watched Xiao Huangmen take away the rice bowl. He had already decided that he would change this unwritten rule after taking power. He touched his belly and found that he was still hungry. Good guy, when I was a Tinghou, I ate a lot every day.
Drinking so much that you can’t have a good meal even if you become an emperor!
After two days like this, the little fat man couldn't bear it any longer. He stayed at the door and kept looking around, but in the past three days, no one came to him. In fact, he couldn't even see Mr. Dong. This kind of The life under house arrest made the little fat man a little scared. He looked at the small yellow door and asked: "What is your name? Where are you from?"
The little Huangmen raised his head and looked at the little fat man, but did not dare to reply.
"You don't reply? Do you look down on me?"
"I don't dare, the country, my slave Song Dian, let me go by the order of Goudun."
Song Dian said cautiously, but did not dare to say anything else. The little fat man nodded, knelt down beside him, and said with a smile: "Song Dian, the "Book" says: I ordered you to be happy, but your father hopes that you will be happy." You can take charge of a party." Song Dian lowered his head and said nothing. The little fat man smiled and asked: "Where are you from, and when did you enter the palace?"
"My ancestral home is Fufeng, Guanxi."
"Fufeng, I heard that you have a great scholar there. What is his name called Ma?" The little fat man pretended to scratch his head.
"The person the country is talking about is the great Confucian scholar Manan County, named Rong."
"Yes, yes, this is the person. Is he named Jichang? I have a customer named Han An, also named Jichang..." The little fat man started chatting with him, and Song Dian didn't seem to be interested either. No matter how afraid the little fat man was, after asking and answering questions for most of the day, the little fat man didn't ask who ordered him, or why he was doing this, so he couldn't alert the snake.
In this way, after chatting for two days, Song Dian was getting close to him, and when he was ready to ask him questions, Song Dian was transferred away and replaced by another Xiao Huangmen. At this time, the little fat man was not angry or worried. Q, in fact, he has given up the idea of talking to Xiao Huangmen again. He just wants to know what kind of fate he will usher in.
He looked at the small yellow door at the door, but he already had an idea in his mind.
I can't stay like this any longer. I must at least find out where I am now.
During the meal, he took a few sloppy bites. The little fat man suddenly clutched his stomach in pain, with a ferocious look on his face, and suddenly fell down. Immediately, both the small yellow doors with food and the one at the door jumped up in fright. He came over and supported him, and the other hurriedly ran out to call for the imperial doctor, or to inform the person who sent him. The little fat man just screamed in pain, almost rolling on the ground.
Not long after, an imperial doctor ran in and placed him on the bed. He felt his pulse and made observations. After a long time, he wiped his sweat. At this time, the little fat man slowly opened his eyes and deliberately He made a weak and weak look and looked around. Opposite him was a woman wearing a gorgeous dress and a phoenix crown. The woman looked pretty, but her lips were thin and a little cold.
The little fat man seemed to have just seen it clearly now, and he hurriedly made an appearance of getting up. Naturally, the few little yellow gatekeepers would not let him get up. He said helplessly: "It is really a big mistake for a child to make the mother worried." The woman did not. In reply, he just looked at him coldly for a moment, then nodded, turned around and walked out. At this time, the little fat man saw seven eunuchs kneeling underneath.
When these eunuchs saw the little fat man looking over, they all smiled. They stood up and saluted the emperor, then leaned back and looked respectful, but they still had no interest in talking to him.
At this time, the little fat man seemed to understand what He Xiu had said to him.
Do you think that after ascending the throne, you will be able to take over the power and govern the world?
Could it be that I can't?
The little fat man looked at those people coldly, then instantly changed back to his original state, with a nervous and frightened expression, and asked the doctor beside him: "What's wrong with me? It was so painful just now, and now it doesn't hurt anymore?" , the doctor smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just acclimatization. In the past, when the late emperor first entered the palace, he often suffered from this disease. However, at that time, Liang Ji would not come to visit in person."
The doctor smiled, but the little fat man fell silent. This guy, there is something in his words! Could it be that Emperor Daxing, like me, was confined to the palace. He was the emperor for twenty-one years, but only held power for nine years. Is this the reason why he is like this? The doctor bowed and saluted, and then walked out. The little fat man lay on the bed again with his stomach on the bed, but there were thousands of thoughts in his mind.
