Chapter 14: Entering the Palace

"You're a roundworm!" Yueting glanced at Ximenqing again, her cheeks were slightly pink, and she said cautiously, "Looking at your expression, I can guess, is 'Beauty Drunk' so good, is it worth your adventure?"

"It's not a risk, my light skills are the second in the world, no one dares to call it the first!" Ximenqing showed off again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I really can't stand you, there are a lot of masters in the palace, maybe someone is also good at light skills~"

"You put a hundred hearts, I'll be careful. Ximenqing's tone no longer jumped this time, he also wanted to see the Ouchi Palace, it had been two months since he crossed over, and if he didn't go to the palace, he wasted the opportunity to get in close contact with the emperor. In order to reassure Yueting, Ximenqing added: "I will go to the imperial dining room in the evening and come back, and I will not go to the forbidden place of the palace." ”

Yueting knew that Ximen Qing had made up her mind, so she no longer dissuaded: "Then Brother Ximen, pay attention to safety, go early and return early, I will wait for you to come back and send me to the south!"

......

At night, a black shadow shuttled from house to house in Bianliang City. This person is Ximen Qing, and he wants to distribute the silver on his body to the civilians of Bianliang. I still have a lot of silver tickets on my body, and when I have time, I will exchange silver taels and continue to do the great cause of 'correcting my name'.

After completing the task, it was already three watches, and Ximen Qing came to the south of the palace in front of the Xuande Gate. Xuande Gate is composed of the main city gate, two Duolou and two que, the plane is in the shape of "concave", the door comes from the drum angle gate of Tang Bianzhou City, after five dynasties until the Northern Song Dynasty, the doorway is also expanded from the original two, to three, five. The tall city gate tower is not only a place to show the supremacy of imperial power, but also a stage for performing the "monarch and people enjoy together" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Ximen Qing did not enter the palace from the Xuande Gate, and the forbidden army guarding this gate had more than 200 people, and it was heavily defended. The army of the Northern Song Dynasty mainly consisted of forbidden soldiers, box soldiers and township soldiers, and there were also Fan soldiers in the border areas. The forbidden army is the main force of the army, with more than one million soldiers, and its main task is to "defend the capital division and prepare for the conquest". However, now the Great Song Dynasty is weak, the Xiang soldiers and the township soldiers exist in name only, and the Fan soldiers are armed by ethnic minorities in the north and northwest borders, and the task is mainly to guard the border, but now these leaders of the Fan soldiers are also disobedient to the young emperor. There is a big Liao in the north, and the Western Xia in the northwest also likes to fall into the ground, most of the forbidden troops are stationed in various passes to guard, and the forbidden army in Bianliang is only 100,000.

The Great Song Dynasty's system of 'emphasizing literature over military force' was the culprit of this phenomenon. Ximen Qing shook his head, turned to the hidden place of the city wall on the east side of Xuande Gate, and waited for the patrolling forbidden army to go away, and climbed the city wall with light skills, turned over and fell into the palace.

In the palace, there are five steps on the first floor and ten steps on the first floor. Ximenqing went straight in one direction for half a day, but he didn't find where the imperial dining room was. However, by the moonlight, I enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the lower palace. In later generations, the Forbidden City was not open to all tourists, and many attractions could not be seen. Now that there are free opportunities, how can they be wasted.

Turning a corner tower, a behemoth suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was a large hall. Around the main hall, the ancient trees are towering, the green trees are shady, the red walls and yellow tiles are splendid. This is the Zichen Palace, which is the front hall of the emperor's vision. Zichen Hall is a part of the Daqing Palace, located in its north, and the south of the Daqing Hall is the central government office, and there is a gatehouse between the two. The vertical arch hall on the west side of the Daqing Hall is the place where the emperor listens to the government on weekdays. The Wende Hall between the purple and vertical arches is the place where the emperor stays and rests before and after retreating. The banquet hall in the palace is the Jiying Palace, the Shengping Building.

At this time in the Northern Song Dynasty, the area of the imperial palace was less than one-tenth of that of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but Ximenqing was also out of order, and someone had to be arrested to ask.

After a stick of incense, a black shadow dressed in the armor of the forbidden army appeared in the inner palace of the palace. In order to facilitate the living and eating of the emperor, the queen, and the concubines, the imperial dining room is in the inner palace where the emperor lives.

This person is Ximen Qing, who took advantage of the fact that a forbidden army was relieved of his hands, controlled him, forced him to ask where the imperial dining room was, and snatched his armor by the way, which was borrowed and used in the name of beauty. This forbidden soldier also wants to cry, why is there still someone who steals into the palace just to go to the imperial dining room? It doesn't make sense? It can't be to poison the emperor, right? But every time the emperor eats a meal, someone will test the poison with a silver needle~~ Anxiety and wandering often make people feel tired, and the soldier falls asleep after a while.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally found the imperial dining room, Ximenqing saw that there were only two soldiers at the door of the imperial dining room, and he was still dozing, and he was secretly happy. Find a place to hide, roll over and jump over a high wall.

Looking for the aroma of wine, Ximenqing kept going straight inside. Turning a corner, suddenly the fragrance overflowed, a small building in front of him, Ximen Qing saw a great joy, this must be a wine cellar.

The door was not locked, so were there no eunuchs and soldiers in the palace who were stealing and drinking?

Ximenqing entered the wine cellar, closed the door, and with his sensitive sense of smell, it was easy to find the 'beauty drunk', and the 'beauty drunk' on the shelf was no less than a hundred altars. The emperor is also an expert in wine, Ximenqing was amazed in his heart, I will unceremoniously enjoy it for you.
