Chapter 39
The little fat man was kneeling and sitting in Houde Hall, there was no one around, there was a small yellow door at the entrance, he lowered his head and said nothing.

The little fat man originally thought that after entering the palace, he would meet the eunuchs who have 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 has even prepared a lot of compliments, but things seem to be different from what he imagined. After he entered the palace, no one saw him, and he was directly taken into the Hall of Houde, where there was only a small yellow gate accompany.

He frowned, not understanding why the two biggest forces in the palace didn't want to see him, anyway, since he came to the palace, he should take a look around to understand the boundaries of where he will live in the future, the little fat man stood up and walked towards Walking outside the door, the little yellow door immediately blocked him, lowered his head, not daring to look at the little fat man, and said submissively: "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 it really because of etiquette that he couldn't go out?He feigned anger, and said coldly: "Get out of the way, I just want to take a look around, and won't leave too far."

"The country, the order of the Queen Mother, is not allowed."

"You can follow me."

"The country, the order of the Queen Mother, is not allowed."

How could the little fat man not understand at this moment that he was directly under house arrest. He looked at the little yellow gate for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile: "Then I won't go out. Do you know when I can visit 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 with a calm face, but he was also a little terrified in his heart. He never imagined that it would be like this after entering the palace. Unable to get out, he thought to himself, what exactly is the queen mother going to do?Do you want to give yourself a blow?Or do you want to get rid of yourself and lead the court alone?

He felt that the Empress Dowager would not get rid of him. He had only been in the palace for a day. If he directly murdered him, the world would be in turmoil. She couldn't explain it clearly. Could it be that she wanted to put him under house arrest and be a nominal one? Puppet emperor?The more the little fat man thought about the possibility, the more anxious he became. At this moment, He Xiu or Xing Ziang didn't come to advise him, but he missed the two of them in his heart.

He didn't expect that there are three meals a day in the palace. Every meal, there will be a few small yellow gates, which bring all kinds of food from outside, which is also rich. It's just that there are many rules in the palace. There is only a small dish, and he can only move his chopsticks once for each dish, so he can only pick as much as possible, and the little yellow door is also beside him explaining various eating rules.

It turned out that during the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaowen was most afraid of extravagance and waste, so he set the rules. The emperor should not be greedy for food and drink, but learn to restrain himself. Therefore, when eating, there will always be a small yellow door and a clerk by his side. This is really true. It made Liu Hong feel aggrieved. If he took a few more bites of these meals, the little Huangmen would recite Taizong's legacy to make himself restraint, but if he took less food, he would not be full!
No wonder I don't have a long life, and my feelings are starved to death by this system!
The little fat man reluctantly watched the little yellow door take away his job. He had already decided that after taking power, he must amend this unwritten rule. Drink a lot, but you won't be able to have a good meal if you become the emperor!

After two days like this, the little fat man couldn't bear it anymore. He stayed at the door and kept looking around, but in the past three days, no one came to him, and he couldn't even see Mrs. Dong. Living like 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 yellow man raised his head, looked at the little fat man, but dared not answer.

"You don't answer? Are you looking down on me?"

"Don't dare, country, servant girl Song Dian, Ren Goudun Order."

Song Dian said cautiously, but didn't dare to say anything else, the little fat man nodded, knelt down beside him, and said with a smile: "Song Dian, the "Book" said: I ordered you Dianle, but your father wanted you Can be in charge of one side." Song Dian lowered his head without saying a word, the little fat man smiled and asked again: "Where are you from and when did you enter the palace?"

"The ancestral home of slaves and servants is Fufeng, Kansai."

"Fufeng, I heard there is a great Confucian in your place, what is his name called a horse?" The little fat man scratched his head pretendingly.

"What the country says is the Great Confucian Ma Nanjun, whose name is Rong."

"Yes, yes, that's the person. Is he a Jichang? I have a guest named Han An who is also a Jichang." The little fat man started chatting with him, and Song Dian didn't seem so afraid anymore. Little Fatty, asked and answered, chatted for a long time, but the little Fatty didn't ask him who ordered him, or why he did it like this, he can't startle the snake.

In this way, after chatting for two days, Song Dian was getting close to him, and when he was ready to question him, Song Dian was transferred away and replaced by another little yellow door. For this moment, the little fat man was not angry or worried. Ask, even, 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 gate at the entrance, but he already had an idea in his mind.

I can't stay like this any longer, at least I have to find out where I am now.

During the meal, he ate a few mouthfuls, the little fat man suddenly clutched his stomach in pain, his face was ferocious, and he fell down suddenly. Immediately, no matter it was the small yellow door with food or the one at the door, they all jumped up in fright and ran away. He came over and supported him, and the other hurried out to summon the imperial physician, 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 came in, put him on the bed, felt his pulse, and observed him. After a long time, he just wiped his sweat. At this moment, the little fat man slowly opened his eyes, intentionally Putting on a weak appearance, he looked around. Opposite him was a woman in a gorgeous dress. The woman looked handsome, but her lips were thin and cold.

The little fat man seemed to have seen it clearly now, and hurriedly pretended to get up. Naturally, those little yellow gates would not let him get up. He said helplessly: "It's really a big mistake for the child to worry the mother." The woman didn't Answered, just looked at him coldly for a moment, then nodded, turned around and walked out, at this moment, the little fat man saw seven eunuchs kneeling underneath.

Seeing the little fat man looking over, these eunuchs all smiled, stood up and saluted the emperor again, leaned back, looked even 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 control the power and administer the world?

Can't I?
The little fat man looked at those people coldly, and instantly changed back to his original state. With a nervous and fearful expression, he asked the doctor beside him, "What's wrong with me? It hurt so much just now, but now it doesn't hurt anymore?" , the doctor smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just that the environment is not acclimatized. In the past, when the first emperor first entered the palace, he also suffered from this disease. However, Liang Ji would not come to see him in person at that time."

The doctor smiled, but the little fat man fell silent. This guy has something to say!Could it be that Emperor Daxing, like me, was confined in the palace. He has been the emperor for 21 years, but he has only been in power for nine years. Is this the reason?The doctor bent over to salute, and then walked out. The little fat man lay on the bed again, but his mind was full of thoughts.
