There is a secret passage in the palace, which is the top secret news that Song Ci overheard.At first, Song Ci didn't believe it. The construction area of ​​the palace in Chang'an City was very large, which was larger than most of the royal palaces in later generations.If there really is a so-called secret passage, the amount of work must be huge.It is impossible to complete such a huge project in the palace without attracting the attention of others.

But this was overheard by Song Ci, and there was no need for that court lady to lie at that time.Therefore, with the attitude of giving it a try, Song Ci began to search for the so-called secret road to the palace.The first place she looked for was the ice room not far from the empress dowager's bedroom.There are ice storage rooms in many places in the palace, and these ice storage rooms are built below the ground, a bit like cellars.

Song Ci searched the ice room all over, but couldn't find any secret door.She sent messengers to look for it in other places, but couldn't find it.I have searched and searched, I have searched every place I can think of, but I still haven't found anything.It seems that relying on her own strength, it is more difficult to find the so-called tunnel in such a huge place.

Song Ci then set his mind on the maid who was crying in the courtyard that day.Now that she knows that the palace has tunnels, her sister used to use various tunnels to have an underground love affair with King Zhongshan.Then she probably helped her sister out of it, and maybe even walked through the tunnel.

So Song Ci went to find the maid.Song Ci didn't go directly to the door, she was in the middle of the night.After inquiring about the palace lady's residence, Song Ci quietly went to the door, pretending that her sister's ghost had returned to the world, and told the palace lady's words.

The court lady was not afraid when she saw her sister.She also looked very happy, asked her sister about everything, and asked her to take herself away.Song Ci didn't expect her to have such a reaction, he frantically comforted her for a while, and then managed to suppress the palace maid's joyful feelings.

Then Song Ci began to ask about King Zhongshan in a roundabout way.Logically speaking, that court lady and King Zhongshan should not have known each other.After all, one is a maid who lives in a secluded palace, and the other is a king who is not in Beijing all year round.Sure enough, after Song Ci asked in detail, he knew the relationship between the two of them.

When King Zhongshan was still relatively young, he did not go to seal the country, because he stayed in Chang'an because of his brother's favor.He fights cocks and dogs all day long in Chang'an, and makes friends with a lot of wealthy children, he is also a standard dude.That court lady was the daughter of a rich merchant in Chang'an City, and her elder brother was also a frivolous young man who spent all day in the city.After going back and forth, her brother got acquainted with King Zhongshan.

Zhongshan Wang likes to play and play, and he is also a womanizer.Over time, I also got to know that court lady. They were both young at that time, and the two hit it off very well.Over time, they swore to each other forever.Later, King Zhongshan grew up and could no longer stay in Chang'an City, so he returned to his feudal kingdom.

Because of her father's order, the palace lady entered the palace as a palace maid, and the two separated for many years.Later, King Zhongshan came to the capital to meet the emperor.By chance, I reunited with that court lady at a palace banquet.By coincidence, old friends meet again, and old love relapses.Just like that, the two of them started to become gluey again, out of control.

Over the years, King Zhongshan has ruled lawlessly in his feudal kingdom.His courage is getting bigger and bigger, and he dares to do anything.In order to have more time for in-depth communication with that maid.King Zhongshan used the secret passage in the palace to sneak in and have a private meeting with the maid.This caused the tragedy that followed.

Song Ci was right. It is impossible to secretly dig such a large-scale underground tunnel.This was fixed from the start.It is said that when Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang asked people to build these palaces, he was impressed by the fire in Xianyang City.In order to prevent his descendants from repeating the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty, but also to carry out more secret political activities and consolidate his regime.Liu Bang asked people to dig many secret underground passages under the palace.

These palace secrets have been passed down from generation to generation as top secrets of the royal family.Later emperors also followed the example of Gaozu Liu Bang when they built the palace, and built secret roads in a unified way.Moreover, connection points were built between the palaces to communicate with these secret passages.It is said that in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, there is a secret passage leading directly to the front hall of Changle Palace.

After in-depth communication with the court lady, Song Ci figured this out.She began to look for the secret path according to the location that the maid said, and she found it as expected.The secret road that Song Ci found was very neatly built.It is about two meters high and about one meter wide.At regular intervals, there are stone pillars on both sides of the secret passage, and the bottom of the secret passage is paved with cobblestones.This is in line with what the maid said again.If it was built in private later, those secret passages would never be as they are now, even the details are so precise.

After that, Song Ci embarked on a journey of exploring the secret roads of the palace.

When entering the secret passage, the first thing she considered was air.Be aware that the length of these secret passages is very long.If there is no good ventilation equipment, the tunnel will be filled with bad air, and it is impossible to walk in it for a long time.Soon, Song Ci found an authentic vent.These vents are very delicately designed, and their exhaust outlets are all designed in the courtyard, similar to the bottom of the floor drain of later generations.These exits are cleverly hidden in the dark and will not be found.

In fact, Song Ci's worries were unnecessary.Since there are already people using these secret passages, the problem of air is of course not a problem.Otherwise, if you want to suffocate to death, those in front will be suffocated first.

After confirming that these secret passages will not suffocate people, Song Ci will consider the problem of crashing the car.It seems that in the harem, there are many people who know the existence of these secret passages.It is also very possible that someone is using these secret passages.You must choose a good time, otherwise, if you run into other people head-on in the secret path, it will be a lot of fun.

This is not difficult for Song Ci.You must know that the sound transmission function of the secret passage is very strong. As long as Song Ci stands in the tunnel and listens carefully to the wall, he can hear the movement in the entire secret passage.It's not a big problem if you want to avoid others.

After the preparations are done, the most critical thing is the route.These tunnels criss-cross, forming a very complicated underground network.Communicating with the various buildings in the palace is like an underground labyrinth.It would be a joke if you didn't figure out the layout of the secret passage and wandered around the palace after running for a long time.

In this regard, it takes some time to do it.After all, the scale of the tunnel is too large, and the complexity is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.In order not to overturn the car in the end, Song Ci had to quietly go to investigate the tunnel every night.It took her a long time to barely figure out the layout of the tunnels under the North Palace.Fortunately, the area of ​​Beigong is much smaller than that of Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace.Otherwise, Song Ci would not be able to do it if he spent twice as long.

After deciding on the escape route, Song Ci has to start planning how to make himself disappear reasonably.

This is a rather technical question.Although there are many people in the harem, it is impossible for a few people to disappear out of thin air without causing any disturbance.The risk of playing dead is also relatively high, who knows where they will send the body.

Plus, there's a bigger problem.How to settle down after successfully escaping from the palace.This time is no different than before. Now it is the world of the Han Dynasty, not a chaotic world.As the capital of the great Han Dynasty, Chang'an City was very strictly managed.The secret passage of the palace can only allow him to successfully escape from the palace, not allow him to escape directly from Chang'an City.

If he really ran out, he would be a black household in Chang'an City.How to escape from Chang'an City safely without arousing others' suspicion is also very crucial.The current Chang'an City is not a place where you can come when you say it, and you can leave it if you say it.If one does not attract attention, it is likely to be arrested and interrogated.Therefore, before these two problems are resolved, Song Ci cannot escape rashly.

Ever since the news of the defeat of the Huns came back to Chang'an City, the palace gradually returned to its former calm.Everyone started to repeat their old life day after day.Song Ci knew that his time was limited.She had to hurry up and arrange her retreat before the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu entered Beijing.

In fact, there is a very simple way to solve the problem after escaping, and that is money.

It's ridiculous to say that in the Han Dynasty at that time, money could solve many problems.If you have sinned, all you need is money to atone.If you want to be an official, as long as you have money, you can buy an official.Even Lang Guan who served the emperor could be bought with money.These can be solved with money, and the others are even less of a problem.To whomever it is, this is the truth.If Sima Qian had been rich back then, he would not have suffered the shame and humiliation of castration.

As long as you have money, everything is not a problem.

Of course Song Ci understands this truth, but unfortunately she just has no money.Not only did she have no money, but Wang Zhaojun's family also had no money.Wang Zhaojun has been in the palace for so long, and her family has never asked anyone to bring anything in.

Wang Zhaojun's family was very poor.It was because of lack of money that her parents sent her to the palace.She wanted to gain a place in the palace with her outstanding beauty.Then let the natal family's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.In the Han Dynasty, many relatives with power over the government and the public all started their fortunes in this way.

It's a pity that Wang Zhaojun is not that character, and even more so is Song Ci. Their hopes are doomed to fail.Song Ci never counted on them either.She just wanted not to implicate them, and they would live their own lives and not communicate with each other in the future.

Can't rely on money, and can't rely on Wang Zhaojun's family, Song Ci can only rely on himself.In order to let himself have no worries, Song Ci thought of a way for himself.If she used one word to sum up her approach, it would be throwing the pot away.

Who is the target of dumping the pot can also be summed up in one word, it is an unwarranted person.In other words, there may or may not be people.There is nothing wrong with using Schrödinger's people to summarize.
