Chapter 1 The Second Life
A shocking thunder exploded. The young man lying on the bed groaned and tried hard to open his eyes. The figures of several slender women in the blurry sight were shaking in front of his eyes, and the crisp and nice voices were chirping.
Occasionally, a slight conversation sounded in the room. After a while, an old man with a messy beard took his pulse. The bright firelight outside illuminated the dark room. He vaguely saw a wizard wearing a monster mask dancing an unknown dance beside the fire.
Suddenly, I found that my whole body was sore and uncontrollable that I could not tell the difference between the east, west, south and north as if I had been hit by a stick. Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and the figure standing in front of me was shaking around.
He just felt dark before his eyes and fainted.
I don’t know how long it takes to go, the frequency of the earth trembling is getting lower and lower, the world returns to calm, and the chaotic consciousness gradually awakens.
"Where is this? Who are these people? Filming? Traveling through the world after death? Am I kidnapped?" His head was messy like a ball of paste. He vaguely remembered that he was hiking across the Gobi Desert. He chose the wrong route to cross the desert from north to south. He lost his direction under the strong sunlight in less than five days.
The final clip seemed to fall headlong into the desert. He still remembered the hellish sunshine of Taklamakan and the endless yellow sand. The nightmare scene made him scared.
His head was like thousands of bees buzzing. He carefully observed and found that there was no one in the room. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief and knew that he was not dead.
Although he couldn't lift up a little strength in his body, he was still happy that he had escaped from the desert known as the sea of death.
Listening carefully to the vague noisy sound coming from the outside, but he still couldn't understand the strange accent. He looked at the home decoration full of ancient style and saw the gilded ladies' lamps very familiar.
Suddenly I remembered that the Changxin Palace Lantern I saw in the museum was exactly the same as the gilded ladies' lamp in his room. He still remembered that the Changxin Palace Lantern mentioned that the Changxin Palace Lantern came from the home of a marquis of the Western Han Dynasty.
Could it be that I traveled to the Han Dynasty!
Suddenly, the river water in his head seemed to be opened with the floodgates. The tide of rushing memory rushed into his mind, like thousands of steel needles piercing into the cerebral cortex. The severe pain made him shudder all over his body, and his goose bumps immediately exploded.
Inexplicable fragments of memories popped up in my head, and the messy memories of growing from birth to a handsome boy filled my mind.
"My name is Cao Shi, and my Marquis of Pingyang, I have traveled through time!"
This memory belongs to a young marquis who was more than two thousand years ago. The era now is the end of the famous Wenjing reign of the Western Han Dynasty. The emperor who is now in power is Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of Han, and the current crown prince Liu Che.
With his few historical knowledge, he also knew the feat of Emperor Wu of Han in the north to attack the Xiongnu for thousands of miles, but this era was too far away for him, and the history and the faces of the characters were somewhat blurred.
Lying in bed, I couldn't even move. I checked my memories and found that this predecessor fell into illness due to long-term mourning, eating and sleeping, and he endured the pain until he took the medicine. After taking the medicine, he was lingering in bed for two months and suddenly took advantage of the situation and replaced his predecessor.
He also learned ancient Chinese from his few memories. Before the Five Barbarians and Incredibles, there were many ancient tones and tremolo sounds. Trying to say a few words is quite easy. Perhaps it is an advantage of physical habits, and he did not encounter a terrible language barrier.
After a while, the small maid came in with something in her arms. Seeing Cao Shi lying obliquely on the bed, his eyes wide open, the cup in his hand fell down with a ping-pong sound.
"Mr. Husband wakes up!"
Several old men hurried in and saw Cao Shi immediately knelt down and bowed. The old man who had just met came over to take his pulse, and then carefully pressed his internal organs to ask. After a moment, he was overjoyed and said, "You are safe!"
Cao Shi barely understood these words, and the servants guarding the outdoors were overjoyed and quickly bowed to the old man to thank him. The little maid helped him up and poured the turbid medicine drink. However, Cao Shi felt his mind heavy and fell into a deep sleep again.
Cao Shi's body quickly recovered in the next few days. He occasionally talked with his maids in his spare time and gradually became familiar with this era. At this time, he also understood his life experience.
During the reign of the Marquis of Pingyang, Cao Shen, his great-grandfather was Cao Shen, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty. He was the protagonist of the famous allusion "Xiao Gui Cao Sui". He also had Princess Yangxin, the daughter of Liu Qi, the daughter of the wife of Han Jingdi.
This name may be a bit strange, but she has another famous title, Princess Pingyang.
He was the first husband of Princess Pingyang. When Cao Shi, the Marquis of Yihou of Pingyang, who died young, was written in history books. However, in official history and unofficial history or soap opera, this Marquis of Pingyang was a life of being a supporting role.
Cao Shi sighed, not knowing that he should curse God for being unfair to him. The savage-tongued Shi Ling, who had been castrated and inhumane, did not write a few more words. After scrambling for a long time, he only remembered that Pingyang Hou returned to his country after being sick and then stayed in the fief until he died of illness.
Princess Pingyang has been married for more than two years and has never set foot in the Pingyang Marquis Kingdom. It is not that Princess Jiaojiao is reluctant to let go of the prosperous life of Chang'an, the capital. According to the Han system, a married woman must follow her husband to mourn. Cao Shi's mother died of illness on the third day after his wedding.
According to the "Book of Zhou", the filial son returned to his hometown to attend the mourning system for twenty-five months. During this period, the couple was not allowed to perform human ethics. Princess Pingyang was left to mourn in Chang'an. Cao Shi returned to the fief of Pingyang Houguo to mourn for his mother.
The maids told him that in April last year, Liang Wang Liu Wu died of illness, and then a solar eclipse occurred on July 29. The ancients were more superstitious about disasters and strangeness, so Emperor Jing of Han decided to change the lunar calendar to record the new Yuan number. This year was the first year of Emperor Jing of Han’s Houyuan.
Today is May 27, the first year of Houyuan. In recent days, major earthquakes have occurred continuously near Guanzhong. The emperor ordered the prefects of various counties to urgently treat the victims. The news from the capital was also panic.
"In the first year of Houyuan, then Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, will succeed to the throne and become the emperor in another one and a half years." Cao Shi suddenly felt a little nervous. Emperor Wu of Han was a great king. During his rule, he was famous for his centralization, respect for Confucianism and launched the Huns war. In the middle and late periods, he was famous for his cruelty and bloodthirsty death. His cruelty was even more cruel than that of Qin Shihuang. It was not until his later years that he left the imperial edict to end his tyranny.
Cao Shi didn't remember when the Marquis of Pingyang was finished. He knew that in the era of Emperor Wu of Han, all the meritorious officials and Marquis were solved with each other. When this emperor of the age passed away, the so-called meritorious officials group of Marquis had turned into a stream of green smoke and ascended to heaven with this "great king".
"The Emperor Liu has always been ruthless and cruel. I must cheer up and be careful in being a human being!" Cao Shi knew nothing about Han Lu, but his predecessor had systematically learned Han Lu. As long as he glanced at the densely packed Da Pi Zheng, he couldn't help but secretly sweat for his future.
Suddenly, the dispute coming from the outdoors attracted his attention.
"The Hu family order should not make things difficult for you. Junhou is not in good health and cannot meet guests. Please tell me if Princess Yangxin has any instructions. After you recover from your illness, I will tell you."
"Chen Jiacheng, you know that I am from the Princess's Mansion. My princess ordered me to come and pay homage to the Lord. Don't block the way. If you violate the princess' order, you will not be able to afford to be guilty!"
A rude voice came from the yard. Cao Shi knew that the surname Hu was the family order of Princess Yangxin. Although he and Princess Yangxin had already been married, the couple had been separated from each other for a long time because they were filial to their mothers. The Hu family order was responsible for conveying the news from the two places. In his memory, he was very disrespectful to the servants of the Marquis's family.
"Princess Yangxin asked you to greet my lord. Hu family ordered not to scare people with the name of the princess. We will not be able to cause trouble, and you will not be able to afford to be guilty."
"Well, don't let others think that the people in the Marquis' Mansion are afraid of trouble!"
The quarrel became more and more intense, and the two sides were arguing that they were rushing to death by an old man who rushed over: "What are you doing? It disturbed the king and the prince who was restless and had no one to take care of him, so he didn't retreat quickly."
The tone of the argument suddenly decreased and gradually returned to silence. After a while, the old man with white hair and hair tiptoed in. When he saw Cao Shi's bright eyes, he was startled and then he was overjoyed: "Bless by Tai Yi Shen, Jun Hou's face is rosy. It seems that the cold symptoms are already very good!"
Cao Shi recognized this old man, who served the heads of the family for three generations, and asked softly: "Uncle Chen, what's going on with the noise just now?"
The old man named Uncle Chen sighed and said, "The princess's mansion ordered Hu Sui to urge the lord to return to the capital as soon as possible several times. He had a quarrel with the slaves of the lord's mansion. The old servant had sent him to the inn first. I think he would not dare to come to the lord's mansion to disturb the lord's rest in the past few days."
"Uncle Chen, my illness has been cured, don't worry." Cao Shi held up half of his body and smiled: "Look, I can sit up."
"Mr. Wang must not get up. Medical Worker Feng said that Jun. Wang must take at least ten days to walk outside. He cannot be affected by evil winds in these ten days." The old man in his sixties jumped up like a spring to stop him, with a solemn and anxious expression. Cao Shi felt funny and lay down as he wanted.
Uncle Chen wanted to get up and take his leave and was stopped by Cao. The old man saw that Junhou was in a good mood and knelt down to say things about the Hou Mansion. Uncle Chen was old and his mouth was a little broken. ⑸?

What he cares most about is still life health and safety. His second life is even more like a person. If God gives him a chance to start over, he will never go to Takramagan to die again. Because of his good youth, he cannot be ruined under the loess. It is better to live a peaceful life.
His view was also very happy that Uncle Chen was very happy. The authentic lineage of the Marquis of Pingyang was a single descendant of three generations. According to the inheritance law of the Han Dynasty, only the brothers of the Marquis, legitimate sons, concubine sons, and children could inherit. The closest branch to Cao Shi was the concubine sons left by their great-grandfather Cao Shen. According to the Han law, they did not have the legal inheritance rights.
Cao Shi was the authentic legitimate son and grandson of the Cao family. Once he had a few shortcomings and had no heirs left, the Pingyang Marquis State would be not included in the treasury by the emperor, and then it would be completely ruined.
"Junhou was very sick a few days ago. Many medical workers in the Hou's Mansion couldn't be cured. Fortunately, the Feng Medical Worker from Qi State came to Hedong and was invited by his old servant to treat Junhou. In a few days, Junhou was cured. Speaking of which, this Feng Medical Worker was also a high disciple of Cang Gong. It is said that he married Cang Gong's daughter and had to teach the true teachings."
Cao Shi asked curiously: "Mr. Cang? Who is he?"
