Chapter 9?? Brutal Reality
The first thing I did when I got home was to burn the bath water. The smell of wine all over my body made Pei Changhao very uncomfortable.
Taking a bath in Heluo Village is a very luxurious act. There is not much water source in the village. If it weren't for resisting the attacks of bandits, they saved the market town and village and made contributions, Pei Changhao would not have been likely to go to the well to fetch water anytime and anywhere.
In this era, medicine is underdeveloped. Maintaining personal hygiene can well resist the invasion of diseases. Only with a healthy body can you survive well. Therefore, Pei Changhao attaches great importance to bathing.
Entering the bathtub, the heat churned, Pei Changhao's body began to tremble, and the fragments in his memory began to piece together again.
Pei Tianhao was frightened in the desert and his memory was a little confused. This gave Pei Changhao great confusion when he traveled through time. He was not completely clear about the situation of traveling through this era, nor did he know his own life experience. The memory fragments that occasionally popped up in his mind could not form a holistic thinking.
With those fragments of memory, Pei Changhao knew that he had traveled to the end of the Tang Dynasty. This was a very tragic era, which could be called a chaotic era in history. The entire country was in an unprecedented era of division. Separatist forces were rising one after another, and human lives were like grass. It was really not easy to gain a foothold in such an era.
A dizzy feeling came, and the stomach began to swell. Pei Changhao hurriedly lay down next to the wooden barrel.
The big vomiting made Pei Changhao's body tremble violently again.
After drinking, you need to be quiet and you cannot take a hot bath immediately. This is a very simple truth. However, Pei Changhao, who has traveled through time, has been spinning at high speed. He urgently needs to restore his memory and know everything. If he is always in a state of ignorance, it is very dangerous. I am afraid he will not know how to die at that time.
...
The water in the bathtub was a little cold.
There was still a smell of alcohol floating in the room. Pei Changhao woke up with a black look on his face.
The memory has finally been completely restored.
Out of the wooden barrel, the naked Pei Changhao had no time to put on his clothes, walked to the bed and lifted up the quilt.
Pull out the bed boards and a wooden box is exposed in the corner.
Pei Changhao sweated heavily when he moved the wooden box out with great force.
Wiping away the sweat from his body and putting on his clothes, Pei Changhao sat on the chair and quietly looked at the wooden box.
Pei Changhao, who had traveled through time, had always had a huge worry, that was, there must be a reason to hide in Heluo Village on the edge of the desert, and this reason was quite fatal, which may be an unbearable and huge blow to him.
This is indeed the case.
Open the wooden box, a letter, a note, and a cloth bag.
He opened the cloth bag with his hands trembling, thirty ingots of gold, fifty ingots of silver, and a jade plaque. The front of the jade plaque was engraved with the word Pei, and the back was engraved with a roaring tiger.
When Pei Changhao saw the letter, his body shivered a little.
Forced himself to calm down, Pei Changhao opened the letter.
"Chang Haowuer, when you saw the letter, you have already left for your father..."
"If you have passed things, you are unwilling to say more. It is useless to say more. If you are just a father, you only hope that you will live well and leave you money to support your livelihood. Today's situation is different from the sun. Don't be extravagant..."
The servant who was under heavy responsibility rushed to Jiyuan, Henan with his wife. He was frightened and displaced all the way. He finally took Pei Changhao away and arrived in Huaiyuan County under Lingzhou. His wife fell ill and had to live temporarily in Heluo Village.
In less than half a year, the servant and his wife died one after another, leaving Pei Changhao behind.
Pei Changhao was also dead, but Pei Changhao, who had the same name and surname, traveled through time.
The Pei family in Hedong was a prominent family in the Tang Dynasty. It was powerful and divided into the east family, the west family, the middle family, and the Pei family. There were many people who were prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty. Pei Che belonged to the east family and had been an official in the court. Perhaps because the Pei family in Hedong was too strong, Pei Che was dependent on Li Ying and was killed mercilessly by Wang Chongrong, and all his family members in Chang'an were beheaded.
Pei Changhao sat down for a full hour, his mind was blank and he was at a loss.
The third year of Guangqi when he traveled through time, in 887 AD, it was only twenty years before the complete destruction of the Tang Dynasty. Now, the Tang court, the nominal court, was in name only, and the governors from all over the country, were respectful and did not obey the court's orders at all.
The current emperor, Emperor Xizong of Tang, was a relatively tragic emperor. He was only 12 years old when he was supported by eunuchs. Under the deliberate training of eunuchs, he grew up to be an excellent polo player. He knew nothing about governing the country. All major national affairs were controlled by eunuchs who watched him grow up, which led to the Tang Dynasty becoming even more corrupt and degenerate.
Retribution always comes quickly. Huang Chao's uprising forced Emperor Xizong of Tang to leave Chang'an and take refuge in Chengdu, Sichuan. He finally wiped out Huang Chao's rebellion. Tian Lingzi was also authoritarian, which aroused the anger of many governors. Li Keyong, Zhu Mei and Wang Chongrong and other governors raised troops to attack Chang'an and attacked Tian Lingzi. Emperor Xizong of Tang was forced to leave Chang'an by Tian Lingzi and went to Fengxiang and Chengdu. He was displaced all the way and had no emperor's dignity at all.
Emperor Xizong of Tang also became the only emperor in the history of the Tang Dynasty to be driven out of the capital twice.
Returning to Chang'an again, Emperor Xizong of Tang relieved Tian Lingzi of all his positions and completely got rid of his "adoptive father".
According to the development of history, there are still seven months left, that is, in March of the first year of Wende and March of 888 AD, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty returned to heaven, and died, and was only 27 years old when he died.
...
Pei Changhao is more familiar with the history of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and this period of history has become a mess.
In history, in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, wars continued, bloody everywhere, life was like grass, rulers valued martial arts over literature, and people's lives were in vain.
The first twenty years between the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, from 888 to 908 AD, belonged to the era of two strong and strong. The two strong were King Li Keyong of Jin and King Zhu Wen of Liang. Duoqiang was more than 30 people who rebelled as the governor and raised troops before and after the rebellion. Most of these people died in misfortune, and some became emperors and left a lot of marks in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Wanting to stand out in this era is like reaching the sky.
Pei Changhao traveled to this era, and he was also the son of a criminal minister in the court.
This is equivalent to entering the stove directly during the journey, either knocking over the stove or being roasted to death by the stove.
