Chapter Forty-Nine: The Banquet Assassination

When the eldest princess Ouyang Qian followed Ouyang Xuan into the banquet hall, these Xianbei people felt a trace of coolness. Until Ouyang Xuan's attitude towards the domestic ethnicity, accepting the rule is the people, and if he does not accept it, he is the enemy. Today's Qiang, Xiongnu, Wusun, Yue, Serb, Fuyu, Goryeo, and Sushen have all integrated into today's prosperous Huaxia after a hundred years of enlightenment and education. Nowadays, the Qiang, Sushen, Fuyu, Goryeo and other yellow? The race of people of color has nearly died out through intermarriage, and is now collectively referred to as the Chinese. The languages of the various ethnic groups also died out one after another, and the Chinese language was adopted instead. Only the Xianbei and Murwei people are still making their last struggle, rejecting the rule of the Chinese court and still following their old system. Because Ouyang Xuan didn't want to kill again, he set aside an autonomous area for the Xianbei people and the Murowei people, and paid taxes to the central government every year.

Now the new leader of the Xianbei people, in order to expand the scope of Xianbei people's activities, has begun to expand continuously, and has privately divided the entire Xianbei Mountain (Daxing'an Mountains) and Hulunbuir grassland into his own sphere of influence. Ouyang Dan never wanted to fight again, so he chose to endure. There was a drama of sending Ouyang Qian and his relatives, and now the first thing Ouyang Xuan did when he came back actually took the husband and wife to attend the state banquet. This can't help but make the Xianbei officials break out in a cold sweat. Ouyang Xuan's words were ashamed, which reminded them of the exterminated Xiongnu tribesmen.

"As soon as I entered the capital, I heard that there was a big hero and a lover in Huaxia. For the sake of his beloved, he risked his head to kill him, robbed the team of relatives with the power of one person, and killed the officials of the alien race. I am very gratified that the blood of my Chinese children has not diminished. The depth of love shows the high virtue of it. I also know that this person was deprived of his knighthood after he was originally a meritorious service. I am willing to live an ordinary life with the market, and I have just learned that for the sake of the stability and prosperity of the country, this person has persuaded the cabinet to suppress this matter, and I feel very much." After speaking, he looked at Ouyang Dan, who was sitting there a little embarrassed, and swept the cabinet again. Then he said: "I have abdicated for several years now, and I must have said something that is unspeakable, but I still want to say something that exceeds my authority and issue some orders that exceed my authority. I don't know if it's possible? ”。 After speaking, he swept the facial expressions of everyone in the audience.

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor's words are holy words, and we will obey them all", Ouyang Dan was the first to stand up and salute Ouyang Xuan and said loudly. This is also his decision after receiving the news from Tai Shuyuan through the eldest prince, and after careful consideration. He is just a puppet with real power in this country, if he annoys the Holy Emperor Taishang, his throne will not be guaranteed, and the new situation he has worked so hard to create will be stopped. So Ouyang Dan chose to settle for the next best, as long as Ouyang Xuan is alive, he is the actual ruler of the country, and the emperor is just taking him to supervise the country.

With the emperor taking the lead in expressing his position, the rest also echoed it. Ouyang Xuan was very satisfied, smiled slightly and continued: "That's good, Zhongshu Province drafted an edict and passed on my will: because Taishuyuan has made great contributions to the country in blocking the pro-car frame, Taishuyuan is specially named as the halberd city candidate, and Ouyang Qian, the eldest daughter of the emperor, is the eldest princess of Wuwei, and I will purchase a mansion in the capital at my expense and place the eldest princess's mansion." In addition, the Xianbei people moved to Kangzhou (now the mountainous areas of western Sichuan and southeastern Qinghai) as its autonomous territory, and were not subject to the control of China, and were responsible for maintaining railways and highways. The relocation was jointly monitored by the Northern Army and the Central Army. If there is any dissatisfaction, the whole clan will be destroyed immediately, and the original Xianbei territory will be owned by the imperial court and punished according to the system." As soon as Ouyang Xuan's words fell, Ouyang Dan and the cabinet princes surrendered their promises to take orders. Ouyang Xuan's trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle is indeed very spicy, Kangzhou was originally the territory of the Qiang people, as the Qiang people went down the mountain to integrate into Chinese society and moved to various places, today's Kangzhou is already deserted, and ten years ago it has been withdrawn from the state capital and merged into the Qiang Zhou administration. Only roads and railways leading to Lingnan pass through here.

This order, the Xianbei people are like five thunderbolts, Kangzhou they know, there is a threat from the Xiqiang people on the plateau in the west, and Yizhou in the Han court in the east, out of two threats. These people stepped forward regardless of it, kneeling in front of Ouyang Xuan, "Please ask Your Majesty the Holy Emperor to take back your fate, Xianbei people have lived in Xianbei Mountain for more than a thousand years, and it is the land of their ancestors." If they leave their homeland, the Xianbei people will lose their souls, and I beg your majesty to retract their lives."

Ouyang Xuan didn't even look at it, waved his hand and called the palace guards, "Drag it out, cut it." After all, the palace guards were the emperor's cronies, and they would not obey Ouyang Xuan's orders, and they all looked at Ouyang Dan. Just when Ouyang Dan was still hesitating, several Yulin guards came in from outside the door and stood by, and Ouyang Xuan didn't have any nonsense: "Come on, drag it out, and cut it." Even if you have threatened with your life, I will fulfill you." The Yulin guards only listened to Ouyang Xuan and stepped forward. One person mentioned a Xianbei person and was about to drag him out of the door, but the palace guards saw Ouyang Dan hesitate and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Where is the Yulin Army willing to do it, just a photo, these more than ten palace guards have already fallen to the ground, and the weapons in their hands have already reached the hands of the Yulin Army. If it weren't for the fact that these palace guards were all Chinese, they might have been bloodied on the spot. Ouyang Xuan waved his hand, and the Yulin guards dragged the limp Xianbei official out of the hall door. Ouyang Xuan continued: "When I personally conquered Mobei, I once said that those who offend my Huaxia Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away. Bring this to the Xianbei people as it is". "No!" At the same time, the ministers of the cabinet said that they had received the order. Ouyang Dan could only get up awkwardly and give up. At the same time, he ordered someone to carry the injured palace guards down for treatment, and seeing that Ouyang Xuan had returned to his seat, he signaled the banquet of the officials of the Ministry of Rites to continue.

As for the rest of the banquet, it was not affected at all by what it was just now, and the cups were changed on each table as usual, and the dishes were listed. Tai Shuxuan only ate a few bites, then stopped eating, and whispered in Ouyang Xuan's ear: "Your Majesty, these dishes are far less delicious than when they were in the middle of the line." "Haha, let's eat, not all the chefs in the world are my apprentices." "Well, when are we going to go?"

"When I finish dealing with the affairs of the Xianbei people, I can do it. You have been staying in your brother's house honestly for the past few days, and I will order someone to pick you up when the time comes."

"Well, it's up to Your Majesty to decide." After speaking, he lazily leaned his head on Ouyang Xuan's shoulder, looking at the performance that was about to start on the stage in the hall. Performances have always been a must-have program at banquets, and Huaxia is no exception, and the performances are in charge of the palace music. Ouyang Xuan was not interested in this kind of performance at all, and only glanced at it occasionally, while talking to Ouyang Dan next to him about the Xianbei people. Because Ouyang Xuan abandoned the customs of three palaces and six courtyards at the beginning of the founding of the country. Monogamy was also decreed, and even the emperor had to obey it. Therefore, Huaxia Kingdom has fewer disturbing palace fights, and naturally the Yellow Gate has been abandoned. Now Ouyang Dan's queen is still the original match, and she has three sons and two daughters under her knees. Because of the existence of Ouyang Xuan, a strong figure, these three sons are also not interested in government affairs, the eldest son of the emperor is now working in the Investigation Department of the Criminal Department, the second prince Zifu is serving as the vice president of Huaxia University, and the youngest son is now studying at Huaxia University and studying mechanical manufacturing. The second daughter, Lan, has just married the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and is in charge of the emperor's internal affairs, and is also Ouyang Xuan's biggest competitor in the economic field.

In the noisy and chaotic environment, the singing and dancing piano music is also nearing the end, and it is very boring. At this moment, Ouyang Xuan suddenly felt uneasy, and inadvertently glanced at the stage, and saw that the musician was playing the piano, but his eyes were not on the strings, but kept looking at Ouyang Xuan's chairman. They are all people in the industry who play music, and Ouyang Xuan is a little wary of this person's approach. stabbed Uncle Xuan, who was already drowsy, and gestured to the musician on the stage with his eyes. Uncle Tai Xuan looked at the stands with sleepy eyes, and immediately felt a lot more energetic, what he and Ouyang Xuan saw was different. She noticed the hand playing the piano, and the thick callus on the tiger's mouth was very obvious in the light. It's a little dark, and at first glance, it looks like a man with a weapon in his hand all year round.

whispered in Ouyang Xuan's ear: "Your Majesty, this person is probably a perennial forbearance."

Ouyang Xuan looked at the stands again with his spare eyes, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Keep an eye on this person for me, if there is any change, capture him." Tai Shuxuan still looked at the stage with a smile and glanced at the people in the hall. She noticed that there were many young officials who were staring at him just like her, and the music was very boring, but it attracted many listeners to stare at the luthier.

After a song was played, the next song was another, the sound of the piano music has never been broken, Ouyang Xuan has never looked at the stage again, but talked and laughed with Ouyang Duo, who came forward to greet him, and told the child about the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and the Northern Expedition to the Huns, and the little doll also asked some more professional questions from time to time. Just when Ouyang Xuan was talking and laughing while holding Ouyang Duo, the pianist on the stage was about to play a song again when he suddenly flipped his wrist and pulled a string violently. Of course, none of this could escape the eyes of these people under the stage, and the mechanism on the qin shot a crossbow arrow as the violinist's movements ended, heading straight for Ouyang Xuan. At the moment when the crossbow arrow was fired, Tai Shuxuan, who had already used the knife in his hand, swung his knife to block the rapid crossbow arrow. As soon as he heard that, a crossbow arrow hit the short knife of Tai Shuxuan, who was blocking Ouyang Xuan's forehead, and fell on the desk. Before the violinist could fire a second bolt, he was captured by several people who rushed onto the stage, and at the same time broke both of his arms. The zhengqin was naturally controlled for the first time. The whole process was completed in an instant, especially the young officials in the audience, who used the chopsticks in their hands as weapons.

The sudden change immediately caused panic in the audience, and those Yulin officials who were suspended from duty naturally took on the duty of guarding and quickly controlled the audience. Ouyang Dan was also panicked about this sudden change. was stunned there, but Ouyang Xuan looked calm, hugging Ouyang Duo, still talking and laughing. Soon, the Yulin Army guards, who were guarding outside, entered the hall and took over the responsibility of guarding and maintaining order from the Yulin officials. Ouyang Xuan only let go of Ouyang Duo at this time and let him return to his position. Waiting for the little doll to go down happily, Ouyang Xuan took the crossbow arrow that fell on the table, and looked at it repeatedly for a long time before he said to the guard commander who had already rushed over: "I have seen this arrow, it is a kind of sleeve arrow. One hundred and fifty years ago, I had seen this kind of sleeve arrow, which was owned by the heirs of Yunmeng Mountain, and I would strictly investigate this matter on my behalf", and handed the crossbow arrow to the commander. "No! subordinates receive orders".

Ouyang Xuan waved his hand to let the Yulin guards take the pianist to retreat, and handed over the responsibility of maintaining this place to Ouyang Dan's palace guards. After all, this is still the emperor's home field, and he can't do anything to take the lead from the crowd, Tai Shuxuan still maintained that vigilant expression, and glanced at all the people he thought were suspicious with a serious face. Ouyang Xuan turned to Ouyang Dan, who was still in a daze, and said, "Dan'er, don't panic. The assassin is my old enemy, and he has been fighting with him for more than 150 years." "Dan'er also knows a little about the ancestors, but this Yunmeng Mountain descendant, why is he against the ancestors all the year round?" I don't know the details of this, I'm afraid it has something to do with the immortal master. Whatever it is, just turn it into something. Your Majesty also needs to guard against such killings, and if you need manpower, I can send some people to guard you all year round. You're a little worse than the Imperial Guard." "In this way, Dan'er thanked his ancestors."

"In this case, my palace guards will be responsible for the protection of the entire palace. As for the royal front, it is up to Dan'er to decide."

"Dan'er thanked his ancestors". Ouyang Dan still chose to obey, if there was no Tai Shuxuan and those officials today, the consequences would be unpredictable. Once something goes wrong with Ouyang Xuan, the surrounding alien races, the Han Court, and even the domestic army will change. Thinking about it, Ouyang Dan felt afraid. looked at Tai Shuxuan carefully, and never imagined that a squeamish lady would be so fast. It was actually Ouyang Xuan's close-fitting short knife, which made Ouyang Dan even more confused. And it is actually the sister of today's eldest princess and concubine, the facts are incredible.

There was such an accident, and the banquet naturally could not be carried out, and Ouyang Dan announced the dismissal of the banquet after seeking Ouyang Xuan's opinion. Under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, everyone withdrew from the banquet hall one after another according to the etiquette system and dispersed.

The edict at the banquet and the killing of Xianbei officials drew a happy ending to the rumor among the people. As for the later assassination attempt of the violinist, it is also rumored that he was rescued by a mysterious person around the Holy Emperor, and this mysterious person is the hero's sister, and a play is also being rehearsed.

After Ouyang Xuan returned to the palace, he immediately ordered the entire army of the Central Army and the Northern Army to press towards Xianbei Mountain, and the envoys also set off at night and went straight to Longcheng, where the Xianbei people were stationed. A great migration of nationalities was staged in the land of China, which also laid the root of the bane for the later Xianbei * chaos in the land of the Chinese and Han Dynasty, and the final outcome was the same as that of the Xiongnu in the main department.

When the deployment of troops was completed and the Xianbei people were forced to start moving, it was half a month later. Under the heavy escort, the Xianbei people dragged their families and led their mouths along the edge of the desert to the west to the Yellow River, and then changed to the south, entered Qiangzhou, and went over the mountains to the territory of Kangzhou, the whole journey was 5,000 miles, and the road was extremely difficult. There were nearly 2 million Xianbei people at the time of departure, and less than 600,000 people made it to Connecticut alive.

After arranging all the matters, Ouyang Xuan and Nie Sheng were sent to be the matchmaker according to the Chinese etiquette system, and chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and Ouyang Dan personally presided over the wedding, and Ouyang Xuan officially married Uncle Xuan and was canonized as the queen mother. After everything was ready, Ouyang Xuan took Tai Shuxuan, Ouyang Duo and fifty guards to embark on a three-year micro-service parade, and Tai Shuxuan was also tied to Ouyang Xuan's chariot from then on.

Note: The story of Tai Shuyuan and Ouyang Qian was originally going to write two chapters, but considering that it has little to do with the main body of the book, it will be abbreviated, of course, if you shoot a TV series, this section can also be used as a focus. If you like this book, please bookmark it in time. The follow-up story is even more exciting. The second and third parts of this book will be put together in the war and chaos of the late Western Han Dynasty, and will not be in a new volume. Because the territory of China has not changed, it is still in an inverted A-shape to surround Han and Xiqiang (Tibet)
