"Haha, Mr. Gongsun is too worried." Ouyang Xuan said with a smile.

"No, remember, the real enemy often comes from within. To defeat a strong man, you must use extraordinary means. And now you are unmatched in terms of status, personal ability, subordinate loyalty, military ability, intelligence ability, and escort ability, and you cannot be attacked, only food is your only possible weakness", Gongsun Diemao finished speaking, took out a box from his pocket, opened it gently, put it in front of Ouyang Xuan's eyes, and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”。

In the middle of the box is a very fine yellow substance, like a grain of sand. Ouyang Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it."

"This was found in your ceramic tableware, which is a very rare poison that was extracted from a type of mushroom. If you are an ordinary person, just a few grains can be fatal, but you have found so many poisons in your ceramic dining and tea set, which is enough to kill five strong men. If it weren't for the dual repair of your space-time potential energy and the graupel energy group, I'm afraid you would have gone to exchange time and space and ...... with you", Gongsun Diemao paused for a moment, and then said: "But don't worry, your Si Zhi and the chief manager have already known about this matter, investigated more than a thousand people, and found three kitchen handymen involved in this matter, and they are under trial."

This was the first time Ouyang Xuan had heard of this, and he hurriedly used sign language to ask the guards to inform Wei Yu and Dongfang Xu to come to the Sea Pavilion. Ouyang Xuan took the box and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see any clues. "Don't look at it, find a death row prisoner and try it, it's poisoned. This is made from a yellow mushroom from the Tibetan Plateau, and Songtsen Jama specially instructed me before leaving to eradicate this mushroom, so that I can run around the world with your scientific expedition team. I thought it was all eradicated on this planet, but I found a finished product on your tea set."

Ouyang Xuan also broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, he knew enough secrets, but he never thought that there were secrets behind this that he didn't know, especially when it came to himself.

By the time Wei Yu and Dongfang Xu came, it was already half an hour later, and Ouyang Xuan summoned the two of them in the study of Lihai Pavilion. "What Mr. Gongsun said just now, how is the investigation going?" , Ouyang Xuan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the three miscellaneous servants did not know, but a kind of detergent for His Majesty's dining and tea washing was artificially polluted, and the pollution link was in the car before entering the palace, and the subordinates have joined the secret department to handle the case, and the suspects have been basically determined, three people from the Qiang West Qiang tribe. The specific details are still under investigation," Dongfang Xu replied.

"Well, even if you don't know, settle down and don't be wronged," Ouyang Xuan said.

"This is natural, I have been introduced to Shaofu by my subordinates to work, and all the food and utensils in the palace are in charge of the guard regiment and the guard team", Ouyang Xuan nodded and did not ask any further. After briefly inquiring about the safety arrangement and protection plan of the Thousand Family Banquet, the two of them went down to do things. I picked up the letter and newspaper handed over by Wei Yu and read it carefully. Now Russia has a female tsar and is cleaning up external forces; Hongli returned to Xuzhou to be much more honest, did not patrol all the way and set up the examination room all the way, announced the abolition of the text prison in Yangzhou, and now looks at the severed finger every day in a silent daze; The Qing people have always been worried about the attack on the forbidden army and Tianji Mountain, but they have never been able to find out why; Louis XV of France in Europe stirred up Europe, and fought several major battles with Britain in the colonies of Africa and North America, evenly matched; After killing and wounding more than 5,000 British soldiers, Nigeria's new king Penganillo announced his accession to the Treaty of the Union for the Mediterranean.

Seeing the end, Ouyang Xuan wanted to laugh, Hu Tianao's hand was really beautiful, and he didn't need Huaxia to come forward directly to get African allies, and also got a strategic location in West Africa, and joined the "Mediterranean Alliance Treaty", Huaxia could station troops in the country and start a military base. It has also brought a demonstration effect to the rest of Africa, and negotiations to join the covenant are underway in Chang'an.

After reading the letter, Ouyang Xuan felt a lot more relaxed, signed the charge, put it on the desk, and thought about Gongsun Diemao's words, and always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it for a long time, Ouyang Xuan seemed to feel something.

In the evening, the Supreme Court sent three dissenting death sentences for the execution of three police officers who had committed corruption and dereliction of duty in Jingzhou. Please Ouyang Xuan cut it. If it seems to others that this is a bit of a shirk of responsibility, those who know the inside story know that the final judgment has been transferred to Ouyang Xuan, and they will use the secret affairs department that knows everything in the eyes of the people to investigate the origin of the incident. And Ouyang Xuan is like this every time, and it is the same today, after receiving the approval letter, he directly called Wu Qinfeng.

Wu Qinfeng only glanced at it briefly and said: "Your Majesty, the contents of these three approval letters are all facts, but the truth is far more complicated than this, there are many other insiders involved here, and now the lawsuit is just to kill the mouth, and these three people are not guilty of death." His subordinates are doing their best to investigate, and His Majesty can return and the sentence will be commuted to 10 years in prison."

"What are they involved in? What makes you so aggressive? ”。

"Jointly with the British to trade slaves, open up a passage from China to North America, and smuggle tea and tobacco at the same time."

Ouyang Xuan nodded, and gave instructions on the approval letter: the capital crime was suspended, the sentence was commuted to ten years in prison, and he was handed over to the secret affairs department to be held in solitary confinement. "Are there other people who have already been sentenced?"

"Yes. The subordinates have a list of people who have been sentenced to death here, and the subordinates ask His Majesty to ****, or hand them over to their subordinates for custody and trial." Wu Qinfeng said.

Ouyang Xuan also knew this, and soon a **** order and a golden jade token were handed over to Wu Qinfeng. At the same time, an edict was drafted to submit the case to the General Administration of Integrity and Integrity of the Joint Staff Headquarters of the Secret Affairs Department for full investigation. On the list provided by Wu Qinfeng, Ouyang Xuan saw that there were middle-level generals of the border guard army involved.

A week later, the Thousand Family Banquet in Golden Lion Square went on as scheduled, and this time Ouyang Xuan did not wander between the families in the square as before. Instead, they sat quietly on the Golden Lion Gate and watched the brightly lit square, where the guard regiment dressed as tourists shuttled through it, feeling the grand event of this thousand-year-old inheritance. In the crowd, Ouyang Xuan also noticed a person who was dressed exactly like himself, which was unexpected. "Go see who's dressed up?". Ouyang Xuan commanded.

After a while, the guard reported: "Your Majesty, it's Mr. Gongsun, and next to you are Wei Si and Dongfang Steward."

"Oh, I see. When I return to Linhai Pavilion, I will not come forward." "No!".

This was also the first time Ouyang Xuan had used a stand-in, and he was passively substituted, until the second half of the night, when a noisy sound alarmed Ouyang Xuan, and he hurriedly walked out of the palace. "Your Majesty, poison was found in the back kitchen, placed by a night walker, and this person is now being searched in the palace. In addition, this person has a very good job of flying the eaves and walking the wall, and he was injured in the leg by the secret sentry in the palace, and he is being searched." The deacon's guard at the door replied.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Gongsun and Wei Si found an unusual family in the Thousand Family Banquet, and they have been detained and examined by the Oriental Governor."

"Oh? What kind of people are these, so rampant? ...", before the words fell, the guard beside him pushed Ouyang Xuan, and his body blocked the back. The sudden change made Ouyang Xuan a lot more alert, and when he looked at it, a black shadow held a Yanling knife that had not been seen in China for a long time, and stabbed the guard. The energy-absorbing inner armor still protects the guards very well. Ouyang Xuan pulled the guard back, detached himself from the long knife, quickly turned his left foot as the axis, turned around sharply to protect the guard, and leaned forward with two fingers, clamping the Yanling knife. Between the lightning and flint, Ouyang Xuan did not hesitate, his body flickered, and he brought the knife to the same side where he turned around. The right foot swept and kicked heavily on the right waist of the man in black. Hearing a click, the lumbar vertebrae were broken, which showed the strength of Ouyang Xuan's flying kick. The other guards quickly stepped forward and subdued the man in black with three strikes and five divisions. The guard who was hit by the knife rubbed his chest, straightened his body, and scolded: "I actually sneak attacked, I really don't know whether to live or die." Ouyang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "You didn't break your bones, did you?" ”。

"Back to Your Majesty, this sucking soft armor is good, it's okay."

Ouyang Xuan leaned over and picked up the Yanling knife and looked at it carefully. It is very similar to the saber used in Huaxia now, except that the saber head of Huaxia is wider, the center of gravity is on the knife head, and the blade is wider than that of Yanling knife. The body of the Huaxia saber is straight, the back of the knife has a small sharp serration, which can be used for multiple purposes, and the Huaxia saber is made of tough iron high-temperature vacuum casting and forging, with excellent toughness and firmness, and is not afraid of cutting the edge. This knife is an ordinary forged steel Yanling knife, which is carved with exquisite ornamentation, and is engraved on one side of the front of the block: Xingsheng Longyou, and the other side is engraved: Long Heaven Drinking Hatred. Seeing this, Ouyang Xuan looked at the man in black with a smile, "Central Plains Changtianmen, it seems that that Hongli kid actually found you." Haha"

"How do you know? How would you know? ......", before the words fell, Ouyang Xuan twisted his neck, used the Yanling knife to pick open the black clothes, hung a crossbow on his waist, and a sleeve arrow on the cuff. "Check whether the crossbow arrows and hidden arrows are poisonous, and according to the equipment of Changtianmen, there is also a shoe thorn on each of his shoes."

"Your Majesty, who are they?" , Dongfang Xu, who rushed over, asked.

"The Changtianmen of Mount Tai in the Central Plains is a branch of the Xianbei Murong clan in those years, which has been bred in Mount Tai for more than 1,000 years, and has always been hidden in the eyes of the world. The men and men all use good knife skills, especially this kind of Tang knife, what they have been doing is to take the opportunity to restore the country", Ouyang Xuan said thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send troops to clean it up? They're a threat to your safety."

"No, I only know one place in Mount Tai, and from their exchange information, there should be at least two other clans living in seclusion."

"Wu Sima of the Secret Affairs Division and I will see you tomorrow morning, they still have a very secret inheritance, and I don't know what it is," Ouyang Xuan commanded. "No!". The guards disposed of the corpse as quickly as they could, burned it to the earth, and buried it in the Imperial Garden. The few people captured at the Thousand Family Banquet died of poison before they could be interrogated.

Early the next morning, Ouyang Xuan handed Wu Qinfeng a detailed description of Changtianmen. "Remember not to startle the snake, these people have studied the plan for the restoration of the country for more than 1,000 years, and they are very cunning."

"The subordinates understand, so they will send someone to investigate", Wu Qinfeng took the order and retreated.

"Have you been in contact with them?" , Gongsun Diemao, who had been behind him, asked.

"Well, I dealt with them when I was in seclusion".

In this case, the old man is relieved. There's one more thing you have to do."

"What's the matter?"

"Destroyed the second space-time orb, we can't keep it anymore. Once the space-time sphere is out of control, the two will combine and cause a devastating disaster."

"How did you know that I found the space-time orb, sir?" , Ouyang Xuan asked with some surprise.

"The dislocation of the tunnel in the seven-dimensional space confirms that you have found the space-time orb, or destroy it, or close it completely. Otherwise, it will cause even greater disaster, believe me", Gongsun Diemao said very sincerely.

Since the gentleman said so, Xuan naturally did so. Over the years, Xuan has also discovered that the union of two spheres changes the unidirectional linearity of time. And they often join forces on a regular basis. Tomorrow I'll start closing that space-time orb."

"If it is turned off, it is hidden in the rings of Jupiter, and the energy contained in the space-time sphere can be worth hundreds of millions of times the total energy of the sun, which can be gradually extracted by the dark matter field."

Ouyang Xuan nodded, without words, because what Gongsun Diemao was worried about was exactly what Ouyang Xuan was worried about. Therefore, the two space-time balls have always been used separately, and the existence of the second space-time ball has always been classified as a first-class secret, and even Wei Yu does not know about its existence.

The next day, Ouyang Xuan only took Gongsun Diemao to the Kezhou base, and Gongsun Diemao directly closed the space-time ball, and then made an energy extraction device, and then transported it to the moon base by the astronauts, temporarily stored there in the energy base, first extracted part of the energy, filled the lunar base warehouse, and transferred it to Jupiter's rings. As for why it was placed here, Ouyang Xuan didn't ask.

By the time I returned to Kyoto, it was mid-January 1742, and the National Education Convention, organized by the House of Councillors, was held every four years, at which the next four years of education expenditure would be discussed, the new public and private universities would be approved, the presidents of seven national universities would be evaluated, and the education budgets for the first four years would be reviewed. The participants were members of the education committees of parliaments at all levels, principals of state schools, officials of education departments at all levels, state and county premiers, cabinets, interior governments, representatives of parliamentarians at all levels, and academics and educators, who accounted for 40% of the total number of participants. Ouyang Xuan saw Montesquieu and Voltaire, the representatives of international students, on the list of participants, and said to Wei Yu: "How are these two people learning?" ”。

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard from the professors of the School of Philosophy and Law of Huaxia University that the two of them are studying very seriously, and their grades are also good, they are already studying for a doctorate in law, and there is still one year left, and if there is nothing unusual, they can graduate and return to China."

"It's good that they've been here for fourteen years, and it's time to go back."

"This education conference is also at their strong request, and they are attending as observers. He has also attended many meetings in the Chang'an Provincial Assembly, the Senate and the House of Representatives, and has also interned in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate."

"If you want to learn, they can toss within a limited range, and when the money is insufficient, let the inner government pay for it." "No! Your Majesty still has one more thing to be decided by Your Majesty."
