We have experienced enough palace battle dramas and power plot dramas.

Han Dongwen knew exactly what he needed right now.

He needs people.

We need "our own people".

"Little Hongdou, let me ask you something."

Han Dongwen chose his words carefully.

He should stop using words like "I" that emphasize his identity, because he won't be able to recruit his own people.

Little Hongdou just stared and nodded.

She was not very old when she was just recruited into the palace, only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Naturally, this is another piece of evidence that the "Plague King" will not spare even young girls.

"What rules did you learn after entering the palace and before meeting the saint?"

As Han Dongwen spoke, he even pulled a chair next to him and motioned for her to sit down.

Sitting next to the emperor!

This is the position that only a concubine can sit in, and it is something that only a concubine can do when she reaches that position!

Of course, Xiao Hongdou didn't dare to sit down, so she only stammered in reply: "Your Highness, your Highness, after entering the palace, the servants were arranged to learn the rules for half a year. Only when they come out of Yingchun Palace can they be on duty to serve Your Highness..."

Han Dongwen narrowed his eyes.

He knew that Yingchun Palace was, to put it simply, Lord Wen's training base for beautiful girls.

To serve King Wen, you must not only be beautiful, but also know how to please him.

"Don't be afraid, then tell me what the rules are?"

——————

King Wen's rules can only be described as wonderful.

It's debauched and obscene, but it's reached the extreme. Han Dongwen can only call it wonderful.

Is this a fucking rule that anyone can come up with?

Only imperial doctors and women can enter the palace.

All women have to take off their clothes.

This is just an introduction.

As for the big banquets during the New Year, the singing and dancing several times a month, just listening to Xiao Hongdou talk about it already made Han Dongwen a little unsteady.

No further details will be given here.

"...Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Hongdou said, raising her eyes and looking at Han Dongwen.

He waved his hand: "It's okay, you can continue talking."

"There is also a commandment. Anyone who has an affair with a man in the palace will be raped and beheaded by both sides..."

Xiao Hongdou said, feeling a little scared.

In the Yingchun Palace, she also had sisters she recognized. She had already been in love with someone before, but she didn't know they...

"Okay... okay, let's stop for a moment."

Han Dongwen waved his hand and looked out the window, "What time is it now? Aren't you going to court today?"

"Go to court?"

Xiao Hongdou subconsciously asked in confusion.

Since he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, when has he ever been in court?

Even at the most solemn ceremony of inviting immortals for the New Year every year, Han Dongwen would only change his clothes and show off. As for the imperial edicts, they were always written and delivered by the ministers.

How should she answer this?

Seeing Xiao Hongdou's reaction, Han Dongwen understood most of it. He sighed and stood up.

He thought a lot last night, including the goal of changing his hair and appearance, becoming a wise king of the world, leading the country to become rich and powerful, and then abandoning feudal superstition and running into a prosperous society for all.

But now he has to think about how to survive first.

Ignoring government affairs, apart from Lord Wen himself not wanting to take care of it, it is more likely that there is nothing to take care of.

To put it bluntly, the emperor has never been in court, but the country is still running and the people are still being squeezed, which means that this country has nothing to do with him.

He is a puppet.

The puppet who has fallen into depravity and indulged in extravagant behavior may have been ignored for a long time, so the mastermind behind the scenes left him to fend for himself, so as to create a target for public dissatisfaction.

Who is in power?
