Zhao Tiancheng taught those arrogant village owners a good lesson, and the next day he went to the East Water Gate next to the Imperial City, the East Water Gate is a small gate, not the main gate of the Imperial City, and there is still a lot of distance from the Royal Street.

Zhao Tiancheng walked along the royal street, although it was still morning, but the royal street was already full of people, and the sound of various vendors was often seen even by some people from the Western Regions or the north.

When you come to the end of the royal street, it is the north gate and Ning Gate of the imperial city, and it is also the largest gate in the north, after entering is the back garden of the imperial palace, usually only the emperor and the concubine can enter, although here is still far away from the dense place of the building in front, but it is also a golden nail Zhu household, the painting building carved railing, the roof is covered with copper tiles, engraved dragon and phoenix flying in the shape, majestic and magnificent, dazzling.

"This Song Dynasty is worthy of being the richest court. Zhao Tiancheng sighed, which also gave Zhao Tiancheng more confidence to prevent the rise of Mongolia.

You must know that only by virtue of the Southern Song Dynasty in a corner of the southeast, the annual income can reach 100 million taels of silver, which is unimaginable in the history of China's feudal dynasties, the population of the Southern Song Dynasty is not much, the territory is not large, but the income is dozens of times that of the rest of the feudal dynasties, even hundreds of times, the highest income of the Ming Dynasty is only more than 4 million taels, and most of the rest of the time are more than 2 million taels, even when the Qing Dynasty's industry and commerce have developed, it is only in the last years of the Qing Dynasty that it can reach an income of nearly 100 million taels of silver。

Although the economy cannot represent the overall strength of a country, it is in vain to do anything if there is no money, and it is the economy that fights a big war.

Walking along the imperial city of Zhao Tiancheng, not only pay attention to the forbidden army patrolling above, but also pay attention to the defensive measures of the imperial city, which will be helpful when conflicts may break out in the future.

Although the imperial city is big enough, it didn't take long to reach the East Water Gate of the Imperial City, although the East Water Gate is a small gate, but there are also a lot of forbidden troops standing in front of it, but Zhao Tiancheng has already seen a person dressed as a eunuch standing next to the door.

The eunuch was looking around, as if he was looking for someone, and when he saw Zhao Tiancheng, his eyes lit up, and he trotted all the way to Zhao Tiancheng's side and said respectfully: "This son is the prince of the prince?"

"It's down here, you're the person arranged by the head of the line!"

"Yes, yes, Childe, please go this way. The eunuch took Zhao Tiancheng into the East Water Gate, and he may have greeted the forbidden army in advance, and the forbidden army standing on both sides of the door didn't mean to ask at all.

After entering the Donghua Gate and walking all the way to the southwest, after walking I don't know how many courtyards, the eunuch finally stopped, pointed to a house and said to Zhao Tiancheng: "Wang Gongzi, this is where you rest in the palace, and the official uniform and official seal are inside." ”

Saying that, he led Zhao Tiancheng to open the door and enter, the area of the whole house was not large, and the decoration was not luxurious, but the little eunuch had an envious expression, because the forbidden soldiers who served in the palace were all in the palace when they were on duty, and once it was time to change shifts, they had to leave the imperial city, and he had not heard that the leader of the forbidden army had a place to live in the palace. What's more, Zhao Tiancheng is just a small capital, and his subordinates are only more than 100 people.

In fact, if this little eunuch meets someone like Dutou after leaving the palace, he will be very respectful to him, but this little eunuch knows Zhao Tiancheng's background, not only arranged by the head of the bank himself. I heard that it is still canonized by the emperor's holy decree, and the ordinary capital head is just to report it after the appointment of the officials.

After changing into official clothes in the house, the little eunuch led Zhao Tiancheng to the place where he was pointed, pointed to a very large courtyard and said: "Wang Dutou, this is the place where Dutou is responsible, and the forbidden army stationed in the east of the entire East Palace is in charge of Dutou, because the prince is not in the East Palace now, so there is no need to see Shangguan Dianmao in ordinary times, and the specific things are not something that the villain can know." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for leading the way. He said with a smile, and at the same time put his hand into his sleeve and actually took out a silver ingot from the stone chamber and handed it to the father-in-law in front of him.

"If there is anything that can help Dutou, Dutou can come to the villain. Quietly put away the silver, and the father-in-law said flatteringly. After saying that, he retreated.

The area of the whole courtyard is quite large, and there are a lot of exercise equipment, stone locks, wooden stakes and so on on the open space. But now there is no one.

In fact, there were only more than 500 guards in the entire East Palace, and the highest official position was a Yu Hou. These more than 500 people guarded the southeast, northwest, and northwest sides of the East Palace, in fact, the original establishment was more than 600 people, and the remaining 100 people should be responsible for the safety of the prince, and they were also guards, but because of the disappearance of the prince, the team was finally executed by Zhao Kuo.

It can be said that the guards belonging to the East Palace in the imperial city are the most unpopular, after all, the prince has disappeared, if the prince can't come back, he can only set up a new prince, and then they may have to be arranged to the rest of the places, maybe many people will be demoted.

In fact, more than 100 people in the east also had a capital head, this person's surname was Guan Mingzhong, and he was also the queen of Zhongliang, but because of Zhao Tiancheng, he has now been reduced to the deputy head of the capital, and his subordinates also wanted to give Zhao Tiancheng a dismount, but he was stopped by Guan Zhong, and now the disappearance of the prince is really not a time to cause trouble.

The courtyard is still relatively large, there are a lot of stone locks, wooden stakes and other exercise things, although the forbidden army is not resting in the imperial city, but most of the time has to rest here, at this time there are many people in the courtyard, are waiting for Zhao Tiancheng to order.

Zhao Tiancheng walked into the courtyard wearing an official uniform, and at this time, the forbidden soldiers in the courtyard looked at the newcomer with their eyes.

When I saw that Zhao Tiancheng was just a teenager, and he was thin and weak, and he was wearing loose armor, it was like a martial artist born from a book. The eyes of these people suddenly showed disdain, contempt, and anger.

Guan Zhong is a person from Jinan, after Guan Sheng, Liu Yu was lured by the Jin people, killed Guan Sheng, and reduced the gold. Guan Zhong and his family moved to Lin'an. With his family martial arts, he became the head of the capital. Because of the family history, familiar with military books, outstanding martial arts, and love for soldiers, these hundreds of people are very respectful of Guan Zhong, but they didn't expect the position of the head of the capital to be taken for no reason, and finally sent a powerless scholar to come. The soldiers thought that the scholar was bribing the officials and placed him in the forbidden army.
