Chapter 1: Resurrection

"I never expected that I could live to the third life!" A deep sigh was drowned out by countless sobs. In this unnoticed corner, a strange smile crept onto Liu De's lips.

After Liu Rong committed suicide following his disgrace, he became like a torch in the darkness, attracting the attention of countless people, with every move and action scrutinized and interpreted under a magnifying glass

One misstep leads to a series of mistakes

The guards, wearing mourning caps and draped in silk and hemp, stand silently on either side, holding long halberds

The emperor, supreme and unparalleled

Indeed...

This hatred has grown too great to be resolved

It is precisely the year of Bingwu

As for living again in this life, will I help Liu Rong to seize the position of Crown Prince

In an instant, countless gazes were focused on Liu De.

Even if he learns from Liu Sheng to drink, eat meat, and indulge in women every day, or if he becomes self-destructive like Liu Duan, it would still be of no use

Liu De let out a faint sigh

Once the old lady departs, the queen's days will surely become difficult

That would merely be handing a knife to Liu Che, without even needing to gather evidence of his crimes, allowing for his life to be taken.

As a time traveler, he felt somewhat embarrassed and flustered—his previous life truly brought shame to time travelers!

After struggling for more than ten years, he unfortunately could not escape the fate of a poisoned cup in the end

In the imperial court, the Son of Heaven sets an example by his own conduct

Then Liu Rong's crown prince was deposed, and his mother was sent to the cold palace, while Liu De was also expelled back to his fief.

In a previous life, Liu De was criticized for his conduct during a funeral, being labeled with the heavy accusations of "disrespect" and "unfilial behavior," and he found it difficult to defend himself.

Wailing, thousands upon thousands of people weep simultaneously, the atmosphere of sorrow does not require cultivation, as it naturally draws everyone into a shared state of grief. Within and outside the grand palace, there is no one who is not crying.

Things do not happen more than three times; I should not be so fortunate as to have a fourth life to squander! Liu De thought to himself, his peripheral vision inadvertently catching sight of a figure kneeling not far in front of him.

On the garlic chives, the dew rests; when will the dawn break? The dew and dawn will fall again tomorrow. When a person dies and departs, when will they return?

This is Liu De's previous life

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, known for his filial piety, and Liu Heng, the grandfather of Liu De, are both exemplary models of filial devotion

Dying and coming back to life, returning to the beginning of the journey, this should be considered the third life

Reflecting on the humble and subservient existence of a past life, the years spent struggling for survival

The so-called Era of Emperor Jing is divided into the Early Yuan, Middle Yuan, and Late Yuan, all of which were established only after the passing of the esteemed elder.

People around are whispering: "The queen has fainted!"

This year is referred to in historical texts as the second year of the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, known as "Qian Yuan". Of course, no one dares to say this now, not even the royal historians who would record it on paper.

In a previous life, Liu Rong was the crown prince for two years

In his previous life, Liu De was merely a commoner who suddenly found himself in a different body due to time travel. However, at that time, he was completely unprepared for this transition. The abrupt change in his identity left him unable to adapt, resulting in several etiquette blunders at the funeral, which led some malicious individuals to criticize him as "unfilial".

Just four words made the blood in Liu De's chest boil instantly

Hehe... Liu De smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth

His frail body seems as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind, and the slightly low and hoarse sound of his crying indicates that he is indeed very sad

Thus, at this moment, filial piety is not merely a matter of personal morality, but is also fundamentally related to the significant issues of political correctness.

This is an extremely severe political accusation

In the twenty-first century, more than two thousand one hundred years later, having lived a mundane life for twenty-seven years, this is the first life

It is a pity that decayed wood cannot be carved, and rotten mud cannot support a wall

Moreover

Liu De has been cleaning up after this crown prince brother for two years

Silence ... ... Silence ... ...

In the summer of the fourth month of the year of Bingwu, Empress Dowager Bo passed away, leading to a national mourning

"It's coming..." Reflecting on the memories of a past life, Liu De used his sleeve to cover his head and uttered a phrase.

Even though Liu De has been very low-key, his actions have still attracted the attention of many people

Liu De's resolve became even more steadfast

As long as one takes that position, it signifies ... ...

He found himself in a very awkward situation and position; even if he were not labeled as "unfilial," his circumstances would still not change

Seven years after the death of Emperor Dad, in the first year of the Yuan Guang era, a cup of poison wine sent Liu De on his way

The Han Dynasty prides itself on governing the world through filial piety, greatly extolling the virtue of filial conduct. In this era, a renowned filial son not only receives recognition from local authorities and respect from neighbors but also has the opportunity to serve as an official.

The sound of sobbing is everywhere

Liu De knelt on the cold tiled floor, tears streaming down his face in large drops.

In addition to his indecisive and overly cautious brother, Liu De also has to help his uncles, who have never known what it means to be worry-free, clean up after their messes, and he must also put out fires for his indiscreet stepmother.

Before the words had left his mouth, a commotion arose ahead.

Listening to the discussions of these people, Liu De quietly stood up, bent his body, tried not to disturb anyone, and slowly edged his way forward, taking small steps towards the corner.

At this time of national mourning, let alone a prince, even a lowly attendant would not dare to move easily.

Several maidservants quietly assisted a woman, who was fully dressed in mourning attire and had already fainted, as they exited the mourning hall

This is not all

Liu De did not care about the opinions of those people. In the last few years of his previous life, Liu De often reflected on the various events he encountered today and the subsequent choices he made.

Reflecting on the demeanor of Liu Che's mother and the character of his uncle, Liu De scoffed at them

But he is not crying out of sadness; he is shedding tears out of excitement

If given the opportunity, who could resist the temptation of the throne

It is detestable to be burdened year after year, sewing garments for others... Once is enough to feel disgusted by such things! Liu De thought to himself: "In this life... I want to be the emperor!"

Who claims that he is Liu Rong's biological younger brother, the natural heir to Liu Rong's political legacy

Who called him Liu Rong's younger brother, and during the struggle for succession, he provided strategies for Liu Rong, almost solidifying Liu Rong's position as the crown prince

Traversing over 2,100 years of time, I arrived in the Western Han Dynasty of 202 BC, becoming Liu De, the third son of Emperor Jing of Han, a notable figure in historical records; this is the second life

However, all the efforts made with great difficulty were ultimately shattered by a single remark from his cheap mother: "old dog"

Looking at that familiar figure, Liu De's mouth twitched slightly, and he silently lowered his head.

Generally speaking, people use the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to record the years

As for the early bet, it is now called Liu Zhi, referring to Liu Che.

Having lived once more, Liu De no longer wished to live that kind of life

That is the elder brother, Crown Prince Liu Rong, who has caused him a lifetime of trouble in his past life

Suddenly, a low and mournful choral sound echoed in my ears, and as I looked around, the entire world was enveloped in a pure white.

Thinking of this, Liu De let out a sigh

In his previous life, after being labeled as "unfilial" by others, he struggled desperately, and in order to seek a stable life, he exerted great effort to devise plans and strategies for Liu Rong

I am the state
