Chapter 41
With his own thoughts in his heart, the little fat man calmed down instead. As long as the Queen Mother didn't intend to get rid of him, then he would definitely find a chance to fight back. These days, those little yellow men are already very familiar with him, especially It was that Song Dian who occasionally revealed some secret information, for example, he was not sent by the Queen Mother, but was ordered by Zhongchang's servant Hou Lan to protect him.

This was the first time he had heard the name Hou Lan. He Xiu had told him before that it was only Cao Jie and Wang Fu.

"Hou Zhongchang, what is the power in this palace?"

The little fat man asked curiously.

"The country, the eunuchs in the palace, are just the private slaves of the country, what power do they talk about? It's just that Hou Zhongchang stayed by the late emperor's side the longest, so most of the father-in-law also obeyed him. Quite words", hearing this, the little fat man probably understood in his heart that this guy should be as powerful as Wang Cao in the palace, or, if the little Huangmen didn't flatter and exaggerate, I'm afraid it would still be in their hands. more than two people.

"Oh, so you are also a member of Hou Zhongchang?"

The little fat man asked with a smile.

Then Song Dian dared to answer, shook his head quickly, and said: "Slaves are private slaves of the country, and do not belong to others." The little fat man just smiled and said: "Hahaha, this remark pleases me Ah, with the help of General Dou in foreign affairs, and the help of the Empress Dowager in internal affairs, my talents and virtues are not allowed, and I may have to practice with the palace for dozens of years. I don’t know how long my slaves will have to live in hardship.”

Hearing this, Song Dian was stunned, unable to speak, party members and them have always been sworn enemies, Dou Wu had the support of hundreds of officials in the court, the support of the queen mother in the palace, and the eunuch disappeared in an instant, and never dared to fight again. In the early stage, even the emperor did not dare to get close, so as not to irritate the queen mother and Dou Wu, they are different from the party members, their power comes from the emperor's favor.

If the emperor can suppress the general trend, then they can also stretch out their arms to fight with the party members.

However, in Liu Hong's situation, they will show their incomparable flattery to the party members, and they will not give them any excuses. If a gentleman like Dou Wu doesn't have any excuses, it's really hard to directly criticize these people. The eunuchs did it, so for the time being, there is no conflict between Liu Hong and these eunuchs. On the contrary, if Liu Hong can take power, they will benefit!

Before, the little fat man couldn’t understand why these eunuchs refused to contact him. Later, he realized that he was afraid of irritating the queen mother, Dou Wu. If Dou Wu directly executed them in the name of bewitching the new king, they would not Any power to defend himself, the little fat man wants to find Hou Lan and come to find out the news.

Song Dian is not stupid, otherwise he would not be sent by Hou Lan to contact the new king. He also understands the meaning of the little fat man. Song Dian looked at the fat emperor curiously. They originally thought that the emperor was still young. Even if you contact him rashly, it will be of no use. Instead, Dou Wu will find a handle. The two Wang and Cao want to get closer to the party members, so the hot job of guarding the emperor is directly thrown to Hou Lan.

Hou Lan didn't say anything, but he also had thoughts in his heart. No matter what happens in the future, the position of the emperor has been established. It is a good opportunity for him to be able to send Xiaohuangmen to contact the emperor. When I grow up, I can't hold this position for a few years. If these little yellow gates can leave an image in the emperor's heart, when the emperor formally takes power in the future, these little yellow gates can also take care of him.

It's just that they didn't expect that this new monarch is very loved by the party members and is very close to the party members. Moreover, he was precocious at a young age and was under house arrest for so long. Even his mother Dong Shi could not sit still and almost went crazy. Well, at such an active age, this emperor can talk to these little yellow gates calmly.

Song Dian looked at the smiling, very gentle little fat man in front of him, but he felt that the other party was unfathomable. He suddenly felt that no matter whether it was Hou Lan, Wang Fu Cao Jie, or the queen mother Dou Wu, they all underestimated this man. The Son of Heaven underestimated him because of his age. Song Dian hesitated and struggled in his heart. The little fat man looked at him and asked worriedly: "Are you okay? Do you want me to call the imperial doctor for you? "

Song Dian stood up abruptly, leaned over and bowed, the little fat man's eyes were full of joy, but he put on a dazed look, gave him a little support, and asked, "Song Huangmen, what's the meaning of this?" Song Dian looked at it. Outside the house, he said in a low voice: "Don't dare to lie to the country. It was Hou Lan who sent his servants to contact the country. Moreover, he wanted to transcribe and submit the country's daily daily discourse."

"Oh?"

"Why would he do that?"

"He didn't dare to come to contact the country in person, so he wanted to learn about the country through me, and he also wanted to use us to gain the trust of the country."

"I see."

The little fat man nodded, and asked ignorantly: "Why doesn't Hou Zhongchang dare to contact me? Could it be that the queen mother and the general don't want others to contact me?" Seeing the little fat man's bewildered expression, Song Dian was also stunned , such a simple question, would he not understand?He had seen this man talking eloquently before the officials, and he had also seen him deliberately pretend to be sick to test the Queen Mother.

How could such a smart and intelligent person ask himself such a stupid question?
Song Dian also understood that the emperor didn't trust him, and was worried that he was from Dou Wu's side and came to inquire about the emperor's thoughts. Song Dian simply gritted his teeth and said: "The queen mother is the daughter of General Dou. , not weak, and the disaster of Liang Ji in the past." Before Song Dian could finish speaking, the little fat man interrupted him directly. The little fat man pulled his sleeve and held his hand.

To be able to say such words in the palace is definitely not someone from the Queen Mother or Dou Wu.

People in this era are not as dark-hearted as people in later generations, and they speak freely.

The little fat man looked at Song Dian, and said very kindly: "De Yuan doesn't know something. I am in the palace, so I must be careful with my words. The Empress Dowager loves me too much, and she doesn't want to make me work hard, so she lives in this courtyard. General Dou even more He is the pillar of the country, and he reminded me when I first came here that I can do everything with his help." He said these words with a smile, but the meaning in those words was earth-shattering.

"It's just that I don't know why those middle-ranking officials in the palace, except Hou Lan, refused to contact me? Could it be that they gave up completely?" The little fat man asked with a smile.

"The country, Hou Lan, is too old, and he does things intentionally but without courage. As for the two Wang Cao, they feel that the country is young, and even if they support it, they are powerless to fight against the party members. Therefore, they keep contacting the party members and try to seek refuge "The young eunuch shook his head contemptuously, and said, "It's just that the party members are proud of themselves, so how can they tolerate them? They are just doing some useless work without knowing it."

The little fat man nodded thoughtfully, looking at the only Xiao Huangmen who was loyal to him in Luoyang, he suddenly laughed.

"I was young and ignorant. I was in the palace, and I was always worried. I was afraid that I would not be able to worship the ancestral temple and govern the world like my ancestors. Fortunately, I have the help of the king, so that I no longer live in anxiety. When I am strong, I will be with you. Be around me!"

"Country! Slaves are willing to go through fire and water for the country, and they will do whatever they want!"

"Good, good, I get the help of the king, just like the great ancestor got Zhang Liang."

If Xing Ziang was here, he would definitely be angry with me endlessly, alas
