Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 23 Second Exploration of the Imperial City
Compared with the defensive patrols of the Lin'an Imperial City, the patrols on the walls of Lin'an City are much lower!After a few times of borrowing strength, he successfully climbed over the city wall around Qianhumen and entered Lin'an City again. This time, he finally didn't have to pay the city tax!

Learned and learned, and saved a fortune in the future.These days, the landlord's family has no surplus food, so saving a little is a little bit!
The more Qiu Zhiqing walked on the road, the more he felt something was wrong, because not only were there many government offices here, but the frequency of patrols by officers and soldiers was not low.Fortunately, I saw that there was not a single person in civilian clothes coming and going on the street, and there were very few people, so I resolutely avoided people coming and going.

It was only later that Qiu Zhiqing realized that the places he had been to before were all garrison places, and the places he was now were all six yamen and institutions at all levels, and these two places, that is, the previous Qin Fei kept saying The imperial city!
And the place he was going to was Miyagi...

Although there are also officers and soldiers patrolling, the strength of the patrols here is obviously a stroke of water. According to Qiu Zhiqing's investigation for more than an hour, the focus of the officers and soldiers' deployment is on the line between Hening Gate and Chaotian Gate, while the patrol between the Gebuyamen and Miyagi And the guards are obviously sparser.

After finding out the situation of the guards patrolling the palace wall, Qiu Zhiqing learned his lesson this time and did not act rashly!
Because he suddenly remembered that there is also a word called dark whistle!So he secretly played tricks and threw a pine nut to the top of the Hening Gate tower thirty feet away...

The tinkling sound really alerted the guards, but there was no secret whistle as Qiu Zhiqing imagined.Qiu Zhiqing laughed secretly that he was bitten by a snake once, and heard birds singing everywhere.

Quickly took advantage of this opportunity to climb over the palace wall, and then landed gently, hiding at the foot of the dark palace city wall.After a while, Qiu Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the movement on the city wall gradually subside.

That's right, what in the octagonal pavilion on the bank of Xiaoxi Lake in the palace city.As soon as I heard it, it could only be found in the harem. I foolishly ran to the front side before, I was simply out of my mind!And he almost broke into the soldier's den...

Like the assassin in the novel, Qiu Zhiqing naturally didn't dare to walk the right path, and he didn't dare to walk on the roof. There was a big moon on it, and walking on the roof was like lighting a lantern in the toilet!

So he could only cautiously touch the lake that he had just skimmed over the palace wall before.Be careful all the way, and walk in the dark area specially!
After more than half an hour, Qiu Zhiqing finally came to the lake. There was indeed an octagonal pavilion opposite, and in the pavilion was a Taoist sitting cross-legged as the master said.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Qiu Zhiqing saw the person in the pavilion, the person in the pavilion seemed to glance at him, and just this one glance made Qiu Zhiqing shudder involuntarily.But soon he became dumb, thinking to himself that he was supercilious, how could it be possible!
Cautiously, he wanted to turn around to look for the Taoist priest, but across the whole of the small West Lake, it was naturally impossible to say that he could leap forward lightly and walk on waves, he was afraid of being shot into a hedgehog.Sneaking along the lake, Qiu Zhiqing hurriedly hid when he heard voices coming from the water pavilion in front of him.

Not long after, two figures appeared in Qiu Zhiqing's line of sight, a man in a red robe with a round collar and a collar around his neck, which was very funny.A man in purple robe stood beside him respectfully.

The status of the two of them is very clear at a glance, with the man in the red robe at the head!
The man in the red robe was the first to speak: "The Huaixi army said that the Huaixi transfer envoys corrupted their food and wages. Does Mr. Shi know about this?"

Hearing this, Qiu Zhiqing couldn't help but take another look at this purple-robed man called Shi Xianggong. He was about 60 years old, a little rich, and his overall image was a bit like Di Renjie and Fatty in the TV series he watched. Fat, but much thinner.

Qiu Zhiqing was very curious, didn't it mean that men are not allowed to enter the harem?Why is it that a Taoist priest sat in meditation in the octagonal pavilion by the lake first, and now there is another Shi Xianggong chatting with the emperor in the Hubei waterside pavilion?
It's normal for Qiu Zhiqing not to know, because his impression of the imperial palace comes from the Forbidden City in later generations.However, due to historical reasons, the Imperial Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty was basically located at the North Gate, that is, Hening Gate and Donghua Gate. It is called Donghua Gate, but it is actually not far from the North Gate, which can be regarded as a small North Gate.

Therefore, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty simply took the Xiaoxi Lake as the boundary, and the north of the Xiaoxi Lake was simply set up as the divisions of the Imperial Academy and the Academy of Bachelors. Some royal collections are in this generation.This is one of the reasons why the defense here is so lax.

The water pavilion that Qiu Zhiqing sees now is called Yunjintang, and it is also the place where the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty summoned the ministers who came in from the Donghua Gate.After all, when there is an urgent matter, it is too troublesome to make a big detour and run to the Zichen Palace in front, isn't it!
Shi Miyuan quietly looked at the official's expression, he couldn't see anything, and didn't dare to delay any longer, so he returned carefully:

"Officials, Xu Dehou has actually raised a batch of military funds for the Huaixi Army, but the army thinks that the military funds are insufficient. In addition, last year the Jin Kingdom entered Xichuan, Lianghuai, and Jingxiang. This is why the court cannot make ends meet. .At the time of Mengchun this year, the Kingdom of Jin invaded Xiangyang again, so this year they gave less money. They are making a fuss this time, and they just want to get more benefits!"

Hearing this, Qiu Zhiqing secretly laughed. What Shi Miyuan said seemed to make sense, but Meng Gong told him about it.Although the two battles last year and the beginning of the year suffered a lot of damage, but because of the victory, the seizures were not small!

So he can be sure with [-]% certainty. It is estimated that the Huaixi Army will make a fuss because of layer upon layer of embezzlement.This is also the characteristic of Song Jun. If you make a fuss, you will be given a little more, so that you can taste the sweetness.

When the emperor was young, he also had ambitions for the Northern Expedition. In order to suppress the capitulation faction, he even sat back and watched Han Tuozhou suppress his teacher Zhu Xi's Confucianism, and made a series of measures such as making Yue Fei king.

However, with the failure of the Northern Expedition, and the death of one of his sons, nine sons and one daughter, none of them survived, and one was adopted as the crown prince, who died just this month, so what a tragedy... The edges and corners were gradually smoothed.

Life is like a pig-killing knife, and I am already out of date, so who will come for all my hard work?It's better to let these guys be as they wish, and live a two-year monk's career in peace.how?The power is all given to you, maybe I have some hobbies of my own?

But lie down, lie down, this army riot is not a trivial matter, it may not only affect his lie down, but may also seal his account.So this has to be asked.

But after listening to Shi Miyuan's words, the official still slandered in his heart: "This is all a mess. In one sentence, isn't it that there are too many votes for the people above, and the Huaixi Army asked themselves to take care of these people. This What's there to say, it won't be long after some knocking?"

Thinking of this, the official said leisurely: "According to the intelligence of the Imperial City Department, Xiangyang City has intercepted a batch of ordnance smuggled to the Kingdom of Jin? And it seems that there are ordnance in Shouzhou that have flowed into the territory of the Kingdom of Jin?"

The emperor clearly said that it was the intelligence of the Imperial City Department, not that the officials reported it. It was obvious that he told Shi Miyuan that he already knew the person behind the scenes. His Shi Miyuan's kind of beating!
Qiu Zhiqing felt a little drowsy when he heard it, what is it all about, what happened a month ago, and why don't you hurry up, it's the end of the day, don't you have to go to court tomorrow?And it looks like you guys have been talking inside for a long time, are you still going out to blow some air?
Shi Miyuan obviously ignored Qiu Zhiqing's complaints, and bowed in fear and reverence and said: "The official said, last year the Jin Kingdom invaded southwards but suffered heavy losses, and Mongolia once again swept all the roads in the east of the river. The Jin Kingdom is as evil as a wolf. Mongols are as fierce as tigers, and the wolves of the Song Dynasty can still be dealt with. However, the national treasury is becoming increasingly empty. If things go on like this, I am afraid that it will not be far from repeating the mistakes of Jingkang. Therefore, someone offered this strategy to the old ministers. They can exchange the captured funds for the wealth of the country. It can also drive away wolves and tigers, such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, the veteran feels that there is a lot to do. The minister is afraid that those incompetent yoghurts will fly around all day long and delay the big event, so he sends someone to trade privately. Once the transaction is completed, it can be handed over to the officials together! Please also ask the officials to see Wanli clearly..."

Qiu Zhiqing called him a good guy, and he just said his smuggling operation was awe-inspiring, that unscrupulous Tianzun!Learned and learned, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more difficulties than solutions!
If I hadn't been a witness to this incident, I would have almost believed this guy's nonsense. Maybe his righteous words were true, but he definitely mixed up his own stuff!But can you hurry up, there are mosquitoes!

Qiu Zhiqing has not yet reached the point where it is said that a master of Chinese martial arts cannot add a feather, but it is still possible to keep the "Quanzhen Fa" in operation all the time, so that flies can't fall.But with so many mosquitoes flying around, it was really hard for him to restrain the urge to slap them to death.

Speaking of which, the Quanzhen where he lives does not have a rule against killing. I don’t know if the Quanzhen of later generations has it...
