Chapter 117: Entering the Palace
Zhao Tiancheng returned to Lin'an in order to prevent being discovered, he made a simple disguise outside the city in advance, and put on a hat, a team of eleven people is not uncommon in Lin'an City, except for the entrance fee and paid a little more silver taels to the soldiers guarding the door, and even let Zhao Tiancheng and them go in without checking.
According to the address mentioned by Zhuge Guanlan, Zhao Tiancheng and his party finally found the courtyard that Zhuge Guanlan bought. The courtyard is located in the northeast corner and is very remote.
Looking at the high brick and stone courtyard wall, in front of which was a two-meter-wide wooden door, Zhang Dexia pulled the copper ring on the door and knocked it three times.
After a while, a doorman looked out with the door half-covered, and said to Zhang De: "I don't know what is going on with this eldest brother, my master usually doesn't see outsiders." β
Zhang Dedao: "Notify your master and say that the son has arrived." β
The doorman didn't dare to slack off, because he knew about Zhao Tiancheng in Zhuge Guanlan's mouth, so he hurriedly went in to inform him.
"Childe, you are finally here, Guanlan thought that Childe was trapped in the gentle township and didn't want to come to Lin'an. Zhuge Guanlan, dressed as a scribe, complained when he opened the door and saw Zhao Tiancheng.
"I'm talking about going in. Zhao Tiancheng said with a serious expression.
Brought all these people to the hall, and looked at the courtyard from the outside, but the layout inside was quite elegant, so that Zhao Tiancheng was the main seat, Zhuge Guanlan sat in the place where he started, and the rest of the people found a place to sit down at will.
introduced them to each other, and those village owners knew that Zhuge Guanlan was a figure like a military advisor here, so although they could see that Zhuge Guanlan's strength was not very good, they were very polite.
"Let's introduce the situation in Lin'an!"
Speaking of business, Zhuge Guanlan hurriedly said: "Childe, there is no news about the disappearance of the prince, it should be hidden by someone, the subordinates suspect that it should be the instructions of the official family, and at the beginning, they secretly visited the whereabouts of the prince, but after the subordinates came to Lin'an, it may have been too long, and I don't know if the official family gave up or because of something, the visit has stopped." There is also the fact that the subordinates found out that the person who did something to the son should be Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the dynasty. may want to abolish the prince and set up another person to support a good control person as the prince. β
Zhao Tiancheng doesn't know much about the history of the Song Dynasty, and the most familiar time period is the period of the Water Margin, what Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others. But he had never heard of this Shi Miyuan, and after frowning and thinking about it, he didn't have any impression, so he said, "Who is Shi Miyuan?"
"Shi Miyuan is now serving as the right prime minister and privy envoy, the word is the same uncle, is the son of Shi Hao, the prime minister of the Xiaozong era, the implementation of a compromise policy against the Jin State, the Han Yanxuan Han who advocated the Northern Expedition was murdered by him, and the people were tyrannical, and the people around Lin'an hated him to the core. But now it has the trust of the officials. β
"It's still a second-generation official. Hearing that Shi Miyuan was the son of the former prime minister, Zhao Tiancheng muttered.
"What second generation?" asked Zhuge Guanlan curiously.
Zhao Tiancheng waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you won't just find out about this news!"
Zhuge Guanlan didn't care too much about whether strange words came out of Zhao Tiancheng's mouth, and he didn't dwell on the matter anymore and continued: " I believe that the relationship between the adults in the court does not want to know about the prince, but I heard that the official family is not in good health, and it may not stop for long, Shi Miyuan has received the descendant of King Yi from Yuezhou, Zhao Guicheng, but the body of the prince has not been found, so the official family still can't make up their minds about whether to re-establish the prince, but the prince, our plan is going to be accelerated, once the official family has something to do, it is estimated that Shi Miyuan will immediately support Zhao Guicheng as the prince. β
Hearing that the current emperor was about to die, Zhao Tiancheng sighed in his heart, "If you really don't have a long life as an emperor!" Originally, when he was in Lin'an, he already knew that the current Emperor Jiading was in the prime of life, and he should be able to live for many years, so he was not in a hurry, but he didn't expect to say no.
Zhao Tiancheng frowned, he didn't expect the time to become so tight, so he had to order: "Send a message to Lu Guanying immediately, let him bring people to Lin'an immediately, and let his subordinates disperse into the city after they arrive." β
"Yes!" said the owner of the village.
"Childe, we should now mainly find out the evidence of Shi Miyuan's crimes, you meet with the official family, at least ensure that you can hold power when the official family immortal goes. β
Waving his hand to signal Zhuge Guanlan that there was no need to say any more, Zhao Tiancheng said: "I'll go to the palace tonight." β

Lin'an City at night is not as prosperous as imagined, except for some lights in the royal street, the rest of the place is pitch black, and the moon in the sky is also blocked under thick dark clouds.
Zhao Tiancheng, who was dressed in black, walked through Lin'an City like a ghost, avoiding the soldiers patrolling the streets at night, and came to the palace wall.
The defense above the palace wall is even tighter, not only is there a torch lit at a distance of a few meters, but people patrolling can be seen back and forth from time to time. Taking advantage of the fact that a group of people had just passed, Zhao Tiancheng easily flew up to the palace wall, although the palace wall was several zhang high, but for Zhao Tiancheng, who was now a congenital master, it was like walking on the ground.
After going up, the reality was hidden in the shadow of the torch, and the moment the patrolling people changed direction, Zhao Tiancheng's figure immediately floated to the part near the inside, and then easily climbed over. With a slight smile, his figure fluttered towards the depths of the palace. In fact, the defense of this palace is very tight, that is, a very powerful innate master like Zhao Tiancheng can come and go freely, like the innate master Zabu who met before, if he comes, the city wall may not be able to pass.
The palace in the palace is majestic, carved beams and painted buildings, many corridors are depicted in the art of extreme, Zhao Tiancheng is also the first time to come to the imperial city of Lin'an, although in the Ming Dynasty also went to Beijing City, but due to the terrain and the reason of the dynasty, the style of the two is very different.
Zhao Tiancheng found that the imperial city of the Song Dynasty was more like a garden, although it was luxurious, but the artistic atmosphere was stronger, but it did not have the luxurious atmosphere of the Forbidden City. He is not really Zhao Cheng, naturally he is not familiar with the layout of this palace, but he knows that as long as the emperor's resting place must be in the back, because the office of the minister of the front hall or the place where the emperor will meet, this layout has not changed for thousands of years.
