"Your Majesty, when can we go out? The soldiers will go crazy in the next few days! Also, after we run out of food, we have to catch rats to eat."
Emperor Wu Ding believed that he was not the reincarnation of Bei Yede (although his vitality was extremely tenacious), nor could he swallow a bamboo rat in one mouthful like someone did, so he said to Zhang Mazi:
"Remember not to eat rats. I bet there is still plague outside. Mazi, have you forgotten how Yang Shoufu died?"
If Yang Hao, the chief minister of the cabinet, had not contracted the plague on the eve of the city's fall, he would probably be living with Liu Zhao, Sun Zhang, Mazi and others in the dark tomb of the emperor, five or six feet underground five or six feet above the ground.
After Yang Hao contracted the plague, in order not to implicate others, he finally chose to stay in Guang'anmen Urn City instead of following the emperor into the secret passage.
The original purpose of letting Lei Jiantou build the tunnel was to facilitate the emperor's access to the mausoleum and to mourn his deceased wife, but unexpectedly, it actually played a role in escaping at the critical moment.
Zhang Yan's mausoleum used to be the tomb of Emperor Chongzhen. It is located in Jundu Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing. Jundu Mountain winds from the southwest. The east and west mountains on both sides are Qinglong Sand and Baihu Sand. The peaks and mountains behind it are mountain guard sand. Dongshankou is Shuikou Sand, and the dragon, cave, sand and water in Feng Shui are all available.
The planning and design of this mausoleum was written by Ke Zhen'e, the No. 1 Feng Shui master in Daqi, and it was built manually by the Leijiangtou of the workshop. It took three years to build the imperial mausoleum. When Zhu Youxiao was sent to Jeju Island by Emperor Wuding (who was still the protector of the country at the time), half of the mausoleum project was not completed. Emperor Wuding insisted on burying Zhang Yan in spite of the opposition of his ministers. here.
Maybe his father-in-law's choice was the right one, Liu Zhaosun thought. Yang Hao finally passed away in the explosion, peacefully and without any pain, and he had to continue living underground without being human or ghost. .
What's more, what's even more tragic is that on the eve of the big explosion, everyone had just stepped into the tomb, and before they had time to close the stone door, a huge shock wave destroyed the entrance to the tomb and rushed towards the tomb along the tomb passage.
At the last moment, Emperor Wu Ding asked everyone to go down the tomb passage first, and he was the last one. Therefore, when the shock wave hit, the emperor was knocked down by the huge energy and passed out on the spot.
This coma lasted three days and three nights.
When Liu Zhaosun was unconscious in Zhang Yan's tomb, the world outside was undergoing great changes. First, Li Xianzhong and his army of more than 100,000 bandits were almost completely wiped out, and the Tang regime existed in name only. Da Qi, which Liu Zhaosun had founded with his own hands, was facing disintegration. The remnants of the Qi army either fled to Liaodong or moved closer to Linqing. There was no way to escape. The soldiers were all killed by bandits. Dudu from Liaodong united with North Korea to rebel and wanted to wipe out the Kaiyuan Army. The Hongguang court in the south was also getting ready to launch a Northern Expedition that was destined to go down in history...
During the three days when the traveler was in coma, he had a long dream, which spanned ten years (perhaps longer). It was a complex and bizarre dream. At the beginning of the dream, the traveler's consciousness returned to his original body. More than a hundred years later, in the Handong Province of the Daqi Empire, he woke up in a mental hospital specializing in electroshock therapy. He was then taken away by a robot disguised as Yang Qing'er. The two left the hospital and were on the way in an aircraft. He realized that something was wrong. He suddenly exerted his strength and fought hard with the robot killer...
Thank god, just a nightmare.
Three days later, Liu Zhaosun finally woke up from a severe pain and found that he was surrounded by a large group of guards. These twelve guards were the last ones to follow the emperor. Before Emperor Wu Ding could feel too sad, he learned of their current situation. Very bad:
The big explosion caused the tomb chamber to collapse. The heavy bluestone slab blocked the exit of the tomb passage, completely cutting off the way to the ground. Only a few tiny vents were open on the top of the tomb more than ten meters above the ground. People stood there. From below, you can vaguely see the square inch of sky outside.
Fortunately, the food, fruits and vegetables stored in the imperial mausoleum were enough for the thirteen guards and soldiers. Thanks also to Emperor Wu Ding's deep love for Madam Gaoming (Zhang Yan) - in order to cope with the emperor's frequent sneaking into secret passages, the imperial mausoleum stored a considerable amount of food. Food and fresh water, before entering the tomb passage, Zhang Mazi took two guards to the imperial kitchen and brought in some food...
Soon after waking up, Liu Zhaosun began to worry about whether he had been exposed to nuclear radiation—if the big explosion outside was really caused by a nuclear bomb.
Soon, Emperor Wu Ding discovered that some terrible changes had occurred in his body. His bones and muscles were significantly stronger, and his body pain was reduced. Once, when the tomb collapsed and a stone hit the emperor's arm, he did not feel any obvious pain. Instead, he felt pain easily. Just push that stone away...
To put it simply, after waking up, the time traveler is stronger in force and stronger in resisting attacks. Even the old wounds on his ribs during the bloody battle in Hunhe healed without treatment. Later generations have poems to prove it:
Taizu starts with a gun, and all equipment and materials rely on looting.
The wife found her husband without a trace, and the son ascended the throne and fled to a foreign land.
The Conscience Emperor’s Tomb Refuge, the Light of Humanity, Old Popsicle.
He devoted himself to serving the people and Zhao Sun, and united to open up the original army.
Of course, the only side effect is that the original black and shiny hair on Wu Yanzu's head in Liaodong has now turned a little gray. Liu Zhaosun was surprised to find that the number of white hairs on his head now was like the lice on his subordinates. more and more.
Fortunately, Emperor Wu Ding always wore a crown on weekdays, and the light in the tomb passage was dim, so no one noticed the changes that were happening to the emperor.
"Of course the general knows about the plague, but if he doesn't go out, the brothers will really go crazy,"
Liu Zhaosun patted Zhang Dong's shoulder, and then dimmed the candlelight, and the pockmarks on his face became even more pockmarked.
Through the vent holes of the glazed tiles, Liu Zhaosun saw that it was getting late at night, with clouds floating in the sky, the moon appearing and disappearing among the dark clouds, and the night wind blowing the dead branches and leaves in the woods, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
"When the door of the tomb is opened, I will take you out. No matter what is outside now, I will take you out..."
After Emperor Wu Ding finished speaking, he left Zhang Dong behind and silently walked towards the depths of the tomb.
Walking through the dark and gloomy tomb passage, there is a disgusting rotten smell all around. Thirteen grown men have been eating and drinking in this imperial tomb for more than a month. Although the imperial tomb is spacious enough, the capital has hot flashes in May and June. Weather, thousands of corpses are rotting on the ground...
Various strange smells mix in the air.
Liu Zhaosun held his nose and quickly passed the arched tomb passage under the vent, passed two large locked stone doors, walked through a section of brackets covered with brick carvings with phoenix tail patterns, and finally arrived at the main tomb chamber.
Under the illumination of the whale oil lamp, a gold-lacquered coffin with the words "filial piety, pure purity, Renduansu, Bi Tianzuo and the Holy Queen" on the cover suddenly appeared in front of the eyes. Under the gold-lacquered outer coffin, there was a mouth of gold threads. Zhang Yan, who has been dead for more than half a year, is currently lying quietly in this expensive nanmu coffin.
Liu Zhaosun came to the coffin, lifted up his sleeves and wiped the mud on his hands. He touched his wife's coffin with his hand, and the bones in his whole body creaked like a beast about to explode.
"Zhang Yan, I will leave when the tomb is dug. From now on, you will be the only one staying here. Don't worry, I will take good care of Kan'er..."
He left Zhang Yan's tomb, returned the same way, and came to the front construction site. A group of guards who looked like gaunt trees were wielding pickaxes and shovels, digging out rocks like crazy.
Liu Zhaosun looked at these loyal subordinates and couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.
The guards were soaked with sweat and were still wielding pickaxes. When they saw the emperor coming, they turned around and saluted.
Liu Zhaosun waved everyone to sit down and asked his subordinates to save their energy. He took the pickaxe from a guard and slammed it into the pile of rocks piled up into the mountain. Under the emperor's huge impact, sparks flew from the pickaxe in his hand, and the surrounding stones were Retreating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liu Zhaosun had no idea what the outside world was like, but one thing was certain: the capital after nuclear radiation was by no means a livable place for humans.
The life below without seeing the light of day for more than a month has made the most elite guards in front of them feel depressed and inhuman shape.
Liu Zhaosun dug for a long time, but could not see the end.
He secretly made up his mind that instead of going crazy in the tomb passage, it would be better to get out.
Nuclear radiation is not as scary as imagined. It is said that people went to and from get off work normally the day after the atomic bomb in Hiroshima...
"I wonder what happened to Jin Yuji and Kan'er, and I wonder if Li Xianzhong is dead,"
Countless questions lingered in the emperor's mind, and he became more and more eager to escape from this dark and cold tomb passage, return to the ground, and restart his great journey to conquer the world.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from my ears.
"stop!"
The time traveler who had been mutated by nuclear radiation ordered the guards to stand down. In the eyes of everyone with panic, Liu Zhaosun put his ears on the rocks and listened like a mole. After waking up, his hearing and vision were also strengthened. All of these are God's compensation for his ill-fated life, and sometimes he would comfort himself like this.
The sound of gunpowder explosion clearly reached Liu Zhaosun's ears.
"Go to the tomb to get weapons, there are people robbing the tomb outside!"
