Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Fate of a Past Life

June 2033, Amagi-gun, on the shores of Swan Lake. Thanks to the water diversion project, there are many fish in the lake, which has become a delicacy in the mouths of water birds and herdsmen. The mountains in the distance are lush and green, often infested with wolves, insects and beasts. Because the Chinese law stipulates that if a person kills wild animals without permission, there will be thirty rods, and each county has a civil organization that is regulated accordingly, which is also due to the natural affection of the Wusun people, the Xiongnu people, the Dawan people and the Yueshi people for wild animals, and this decree was passed in the parliamentary house.

Ouyang Xuan, dressed in white, strolled along the shore of Swan Lake under the strict protection of the guards, and not far away was the rather magnificent tomb of the Nanwang couple. In order to ensure that the cemetery is not eroded by the surrounding water, a corresponding impermeable wall was built. After three months of cultivation, Ouyang Xuan has fully recovered, and today he finished worshipping the King of the South. When the mountain flowers were blooming, Ouyang Xuan suddenly felt it, so he walked along the lake and enjoyed the lake and mountains under the shade of the mountain flowers. Occasionally pick up a stone and throw it into the lake, startling countless water birds, the white wolf and phoenix emperor is now the symbol of the empress of China, and Ouyang Xuan has not taken four divine beasts for a walk in this beautiful wasteland for a long time, they come here every year.

A leisurely walk is also a super enjoyment, the scenery here is still very primitive, quaint, there is no utilitarian development in later generations, June is the time when the grassland wildflowers are at their peak, and the feet have been submerged with yellow or red wildflowers when they go down. Ouyang Xuan liked this feeling very much, and the intimate contact with nature was what he longed for the most. Not far away, a marmot is looking around, and the eagle in the sky is hovering low, ready to strike a fatal blow at its prey.

Ouyang Xuan took off his crossbow arrows and prepared to shoot a hare that was running wild to avoid the eagle. A doll voice came from the side: "You're going to be miserable".

Ouyang Xuan turned his head and saw a four-year-old female doll, carrying a basket of wild vegetables, pinching her waist and looking at Ouyang Xuan. Oh, why do you say I'm miserable? Ouyang Xuan took off the wound crossbow arrow, hung up the crossbow, squatted down, and asked with a smile.

"You're going to shoot that rabbit, I saw it. I'm going to sue the official and beat you with thirty boards, but it hurts."

"yes, I'm glad you reminded me. Say, how do you want me to thank you? ”。

"Daddy often said that doing good deeds with others is to accumulate virtue, and there will be good rewards."

"Oh, your daddy is right. It's the uncle's fault, where is your father? Can I see it? ”。

"He was stopped by the soldiers outside, who only allowed me to enter, bullying me as a child."

Ouyang Xuan glanced at the guard next to him, the guard immediately understood what was going on, and gestured to the guard in the distance, and a young man came to Ouyang Xuan under the escort of two guards, and the moment that person saw Ouyang Xuan, he directly knelt down on one knee and bowed deeply: "Grass people Wei Ling has seen the Holy Emperor!" The little girl Wei Meng disturbed the Holy Emperor's recuperation, and she was very frightened."

"Oh? Do you recognize me? There are not many people in the world who can recognize me at a glance. Flatten".

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's divine army is here, and there is no doubt that it will be Your Majesty."

After listening to this, Ouyang Xuan smiled slightly, and looked at the guards around him, he was indeed different, all of them were burly and extremely young, although they were dressed as civilians, the kind of spirit on his body looked like a person in the army, coupled with the special training all year round, he had a different aura on his body, which was indeed very different from other soldiers.

"Haha, good eyesight. It seems that my guards need to be replaced, they are all born to kill, so naturally there will be some differences. Your last name is Wei? Where are you from? ”。

"Back to Your Majesty, Caomin Township-level Guizhou. Respect the ancestors on the family motto, come here to guard the tomb of the king of the south".

"Oh, after Wei Zheng. Well, I have been looking for you for more than 400 years, and today I have found you."

"There is a precept from the ancestors: unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not ask for help from the Holy Emperor, and you must not disclose your identity. The clansmen did not interact with the government, and there were no officials who entered the court."

"It's not Liu Bang and Empress Lu who made trouble, forget it, tell your clansmen that the country of China is not the Han family, and Han Xin, the king of Chu, is a hero through the ages. I see that your ancestral teachings should also be changed, and I have a lot of connections with your ancestors, so if I can't do it, I will change it for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for justifying your ancestors." After speaking, Wei Ling bowed deeply again.

"Calm down, where is the cemetery of your ancestors, I want to go and worship."

"Back to Your Majesty, the ancestral tomb is still in Yangtan County, Guizhou."

Ouyang Xuan walked forward slowly, Wei Meng sat on Ouyang Xuan's broad shoulders, and Wei Ling followed on the left side. "I will pay some money to move your ancestors here, and I will repair a tomb for them here. They are all people who are kind to me, where will I forget, I am not Liu Bang and Lu Hou, don't worry too much. If there is a world today, you Weishi and Wusun people have made great contributions. Someone is coming", a guard bowed to the left side and stood by.

"In order to thank Wei's for helping me back then, I changed my surname to Han. Wei Zheng's descendants passed on the eldest son to seal Tiancheng County, and the Wei family will always enjoy the benefits of exemption from asset tax. Go down and draw up the purpose." "No!".

"Slow, Your Majesty must not, the ancestral precepts must not be violated. His Majesty's surname is already a blessing from heaven, and the ancestors are only a small merit, so how can they receive too much grace. The patriarch of the grass people thanked His Majesty for giving him his surname. For the rest, Your Majesty must not. It's not just the grass people who don't agree, the people will reject it."

Ouyang Xuan smiled and waved his hand to make the guards retreat, "You are the legendary Holy Emperor?" Wei Meng said dangling his legs on Ouyang Xuan's shoulders.

"Haha, you've seen it all, or is it a legend?"

"Legend has it that the Holy Emperor fought giant beasts, slaughtered thousands of sand wolves, and saved hundreds of merchants, but is there such a thing?"

"Oh? Good guys, it's all spread like a fairy, haha, here's the thing, it was three hundred and fifty-seven years ago."

Ouyang Xuan and the little girl talked about the past of killing wolves by the manhole in Dunhuang, and also talked a lot about their own past. The little girl listened very carefully, and asked from time to time. It wasn't until the guard reminded Ouyang Xuan that it was time to take the medicine that he put the little guy down.

"The grass people say goodbye, where the little girl disturbs Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty Haihan."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Go ahead, see that your wild vegetable basket is still empty, go pick more, this spring wild vegetable is very good."

"You've eaten it too?" , the little girl asked suddenly.

"I eat it often, and now it's a delicacy on the table every day."

Wei Ling picked up Wei Meng and gave Ouyang Xuan a deep salute and walked towards the cows in the distance, the little girl lay on Wei Ling's shoulder and looked at Ouyang Xuan and suddenly said loudly: "I have seen you in my dreams", after speaking, she waved her little hand and made a gesture that Ouyang Xuan wanted to see in her dreams, although she was a little immature, but she still looked good. The middle finger and ring finger are bent, the index finger and little finger are cocked, and the thumb is turned out, which Ouyang Xuan handed over to Liu Hui back then, and he has never handed it over to anyone else. There is no one else in this world who knows this gesture except Ouyang Xuan himself, and Uncle Xuan also subconsciously made this gesture. Ouyang Xuan saw it again today, and he was a little excited. He turned around and handed over to the two guards, explained something, and then slowly returned to the palace.

The communication guard took a stack of newspapers and put them on Ouyang Xuan's desk, almost all of which were Han information. Since Ouyang Xuan left Qingzhou, Tang De and Li Mu made every effort to govern Qingzhou and Liangzhou, recruiting soldiers and training troops, and the Qingzhou army was divided into three armies, each with 500,000 people, each led by Peng Fei, Zhong Zhao, and Ling Huzhang. Among the recruited soldiers, a young man from Qu Aming Zou Heng attracted Zhong Zhao, and through the test, this Zou Heng's martial arts are very high, and he can join forces with Zhong Zhao and Ling Hu Zhang to fight hundreds of rounds without being defeated, which is a genius in Han China, and he was only ten years old at the time, and Tai Shi Ci studied with Tang De to learn the most advanced military tactics in the cold weapon era, and at the same time received special training from Zhong Zhao, Peng Fei, and Ling Hu Zhang. In 193 AD, Zhao Yun took five hundred townsmen to Qingzhou under the pursuit of Yuan Shao, and was warmly welcomed by Peng Fei, one of the tasks assigned by Ouyang Xuan before leaving was to find Zhao Yun, after Peng Fei's test, Zhao Yun's elusive marksmanship, so that Peng Fei sometimes couldn't parry, and the happy Peng Fei directly appointed Zhao Yun as the deputy general, the lieutenant of Beihai. He personally taught Zhao Yun the art of marching warfare. Tang De temporarily set up a military academy in Qingzhou, and unified the officers above Sima level from other departments to Linzi for a four-year military and martial arts training. After the training, they were entrusted with important tasks one by one, including famous generals of the Three Kingdoms such as Lejin, Li Dian, and Bao Xin's old department Yu Ban, as well as generals like Li Cheng, Huang Mu, Shang Lang, etc., who had never appeared in the original history, and these people stood out under the cultivation of Tang De, Peng Fei, Ling Huzhang and Yu Linjun.

Because of the population restrictions, the Liangzhou army only recruited 300,000, all of which were elite iron cavalry, under the unified command of Li Mu, and under the command of Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, Beidi Taishou Zhang Liao, and Chang'an Commander Gao Shun, after Li Mu personally taught martial arts and the art of war, and now he is also a general of ten thousand enemies.

The peace of the Han land lasted only five years, the first to be broken by Yuan Shu, after sufficient preparations, Yuan Shu raised troops to attack Cao Cao in Yanzhou, after more than a year of campaigning, and finally in the battle of Dachi Mountain, Mi County, Xingyang County, Cao Cao was defeated, on the way to escape and Yangcheng Mountain was pushed off the cliff by the general and fell to death, the rest surrendered to Cao Cao, since then Cao Cao took charge of the division, marched to Luoyang in the same year, beheaded Wang Yun and others, self-proclaimed prime minister, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

In the spring of 197 AD, after Cao Cao stabilized the government, he prepared to go south to seize Yingchuan, Runan, Jingzhou, Yuzhou. But Yuan Shao raided Dongjun, Yangping County, Cao Cao had to change the strategy, and Yuan Shao launched a three-year fight, in June 199 A.D. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao finally duel with Guangzong, under the effect of Yuan Shao's arrogant character, defeated and lost, fled north, and was chased and killed by Gongsun Zhan's old department Tian Kai, and finally fled to the Chinese border, when he asked to enter the customs, he was refused, and was killed by Tian Kai who caught up, and his clan was wiped out. Tian Kai led his troops eastward, borrowing through Qingzhou, and Xuzhou defected to Liu Bei in Yuzhou.

Cao Cao completely controlled Youzhou after the victory over Yuan Shao, and forced Jingzhou with the battle of Yu Wei of the three states, and in the first battle of Nanyang County, Liu Biao's 100,000 army was defeated by Cao Hong, and Liu Biao had to ask Liu Bei of Yuzhou for help, Liu Bei adopted Xu Shu's suggestion, Guan Yu led the troops to attack Chenliu, and Zhang Fei's troops went out of Yingchuan to take Hanoi County, forcing Cao's army to return to the rescue. Just when Cao Bing withdrew from Jingzhou, Guan Yu, under the arrangement of Xu Shu, crossed Yingchuan and entered Nanyang. After Zhang Fei defeated Xiahou Yuan in Xinzheng, he went northeast through Kaifeng to enter Chenliu, turned to the southeast, and returned to Chen State in Yuzhou through Fugou County. After this march and transfer, Cao's army, which was originally in a strategic advantageous position, was always in motion and transferred out of the original defense area, providing sufficient time for Guan Yu to redeploy the strategic defense in Nanyang. By the time Cao Cao reacted, Guan Yu had already completed the deployment in Nanyang, and the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou had also completed a major mobilization, and Chen soldiers Yingchuan, Chen Guo, Liang Guo, and Peiguo were on the front line to strictly prevent Cao's army from attacking. Sun Jian was not idle, when Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, he launched an attack on Jingzhou along the river, and was unfortunately killed by an arrow when chasing and defeating the retreating Jingzhou military horse, and the Yangzhou army had to retreat, and the position of Yangzhou Mu was taken over by his Sun Sun Ce. After Sun Ce took over as the pastor of Yangzhou, he continued to recruit troops and buy horses, expanded to the north and east, completely pacified the southeast, encouraged farming, vigorously developed agriculture, and built water conservancy.

Ouyang Xuan read the letter and handed it over to the guards for archiving. At the same time, he gave Tang De an order and ordered his Chen soldiers to Taishan County and Beihai County to contain Cao Cao from behind. At the same time, he ordered Li Mu to march into the state and clear the remnants of Dong Zhuo's forces there, and then Chen Bingwei County and Yangping County to further contain Cao Cao. Ouyang Xuan didn't want to participate in the battle between Han and Di now, since the completion of the space-time tunnel, Han Di has become a dispensable need in addition to the regional population. In addition, greater investment is needed for later management and investment, so it is better to choose to give up according to Huang Tingzhong's suggestion. Or after the occupation, the king was returned to the Liu family.

Ouyang Xuan is also very contradictory now, the current Han land is a chicken rib for today's Huaxia, the population is less than a state in Huaxia, and the total economic volume is not even as good as a county in Huaxia. In the face of such a chaotic situation, Ouyang Xuan has long lost the ambition he had when he governed Huaxia, and time has dulled the enthusiasm for entrepreneurship in Ouyang Xuan's heart, and today's modern life in China has also made Ouyang Xuan lose the original impulse to transform the Han land. Now Huaxia has formed a primary constitutional monarchy, during Ouyang Xuan's absence, Ouyang Gui reformed the parliamentary court, and the emperor's edict must be reviewed by the parliamentary council and the privy council before it can take effect. The power of the emperor was reduced to a minimum, and the governors of the prefectures and counties were now elected by their respective deliberative bodies, and were no longer appointed by the emperor, who only retained the right to recall. This is the famous wolf and phoenix in Chinese history. The only exception is Ouyang Xuan, the founding emperor, who also has some right to kill, and the military power is now all controlled by the emperor and Ouyang Xuan.

Ouyang Xuan has been recuperating on the shore of Swan Lake for three months, after worshiping the King of the South, Ouyang Xuan turned around and went to Jinshan, the Kanas Lake in June is also the time when the mountains are full of flowers, now here is the colorful lake named by Ouyang Xuan, strolling on the top of the lake mountain, a pool of turquoise lake water lies quietly in the valley, it seems so peaceful and quiet, there are some Ding Ling people who surrendered that year, and then shepherd the sheep, guarding this beautiful lake, forming a unique scenery on the shore of the colorful lake, the smoke curls in front of the wooden house, The flagpole erected high in the village hangs the new national flag of China, and under the national flag is the shepherd children's school jointly established by Jinshan Zhongjun and Momen.

Ouyang Xuan came here today because of a letter forwarded by a mysterious person through the Hutu County Palace, and the letter asked to come here in late June to meet him. Ouyang Xuan looked at the lake in a daze, there are too many things that he doesn't know in this world, mysterious characters emerge in endlessly, who will this mysterious person be, Ouyang Xuan is eager to know, it has been five days since he came here, everything is so dull, the life of a herdsman is still the same, and the lake is rippling under the swimming of red fish. If this person doesn't come today, Ouyang Xuan plans to return to the Han land, or call off the army and return to China, or continue to fight the world.

In the location of the Fish Pavilion in later generations, Jinshan Zhongjun built a maple pavilion here for people who come here to enjoy the scenery and rest. Ouyang Xuan sat down with the pavilion, and the guards around him stood in accordance with the directions, and there were six guards in different directions in front of and behind him, echoing each other. Even a fly may not be able to escape the eyes of the guards, and after a long time, the call of the guards under the mountain came from the earphones: Sima Hui greets the Holy Emperor. The communication guards around him immediately reported to Ouyang Xuan, Sima Hui, this name is very familiar to Ouyang Xuan, who has just read the Three Kingdoms, and the history of the Three Kingdoms is actually his own Three Kingdoms. "Bring it here. He is also a strange person in the Han region".

A moment later, led by two guards, a gray-haired old man slowly walked towards the Maple Pavilion. Ouyang Xuan stood in the pavilion dressed in white, his clothes swaying in the wind, and the sword with the sunken wood scabbard was carried at his waist. Now the short knife hit by the meteorite has become Ouyang Gui's weapon. Sima Hui was dressed in a cyan cloth robe, with spacious cuffs, a square scarf on his head, and gray hair, which looked quite fairy.

Sima Hui walked in front of Ouyang Xuan and gave a deep salute, arched his hand on the left side and said, "Sima Hui of the grass people has seen His Majesty the Holy Emperor of China."

"How could Decao choose such a remote place to see me? Could it be that I am afraid that I will kill you? ”。

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people will also go thousands of miles away to meet Your Majesty here with the guidance of a master."

"Oh? Sir, please come in and talk in detail", Ouyang Xuan made an inviting gesture, invited Sima Hui into the pavilion, the guests and hosts sat down, and the guards poured the best tea for the two of them.

Ouyang Xuan took a sip of tea and said, "Could it be that Mr. Decao has a request for me?" ”。

"It is precisely that Hui learned Confucian scriptures from his teacher since childhood. However, these scriptures can only be imprisoned in the Han land, but not promoted to the world. Last month, a friend of the grass people passed through Nanyang, and talked about the matter with him, and he said, you can go to Jinshan Qicai Lake, find the Chinese Holy Emperor, and clarify the root of Confucianism. Hui Cai came from thousands of miles here to meet His Majesty the Holy Emperor."

"Oh? The person who sent the letter was not virtuous? ”。

"Letter? Hui did not write a letter with His Majesty. Where did this letter come from? ”

Ouyang Xuan glanced around, saw that there was nothing abnormal, and then tasted tea and said to Sima Hui, "Who is your friend?" What is the last name? ”。

"The surname Hui has never been known, only that his name is Fu Hong, I heard that he was called the Holy Father of Wei Yu in his early years, and he studied under the Holy Father when he was a child."

"Oh, I see. Haha, it's also fate. Since it is shown by the immortal master, I don't care" After speaking, he waved his hand to the guards beside him, and the guards immediately dispersed in battle formation.

"Can you find some help for the spread of Confucianism in China?"

"That's right, this is also the consensus of Han Confucian scholars."

"Don't hide it, sir, you can't do it. Why did I behead Dong Zhongshu in the court, kill Confucian scholars all over the place, and destroy his classics? Just because Confucianism is retro and teaches people's hearts, but it does not teach people to system, and re-enacts ancient rituals, and does not know the current development. If I also believe in Confucianism, how can Mr. Lai go out of the customs in one day and walk the door of thousands of miles? Therefore, I will not allow any more Confucian scholars to preach in the land of China. Confucius is still a despicable person, how can he educate the world? The governance of China is rooted in people and law, while the governance of Confucianism is based on benevolence and harmony. Am I wrong? Ouyang Xuan wrote the words "Renren" on the stone table with tea sticking to it.

"Your Majesty has made up your mind, and the grass people are speechless. Today, China is violating the pre-emptive system, changing clothing privately, and there is no superiority or inferiority, which is very different from Confucianism. The grass people just asked His Majesty not to re-rule China in the Han Dynasty, which will affect the thousand-year-old inheritance."

"Haha, don't worry, sir, Confucianism will not enter the court in my territory, and he can only teach some young children to read and write in the countryside, and he has nothing to do. I have said that I have done it, and I can consider it."

"Hui understands, but now His Majesty is involved in the Han land, Qingliang and Sanzhou are already His Majesty's belonging, as long as Your Majesty is willing, Youzhou is also down in an instant, Hui thousands of miles to come, just ask Your Majesty to allow the essence of Confucianism to carry forward with the Han land."

"It is worthy of being the master of the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, admire, I have such a layout, and I am also noticed by Mr., admired! Admire! For the sake of Mr. Wanli to see, I am just as you wish, but Confucianism can be transmitted, and Confucianism will be killed. Whether it is retro or welcoming, as long as I don't participate in political affairs, I can tolerate it, and the wealthy families of Confucian scholars such as a number of politicians, chaotic politics, I will punish them. I am not afraid of bearing the notoriety that you have spread in the Han land, that is, my reputation in the land of China is not as good as that of several emperors, as long as I fulfill my wishes, it is the greatest satisfaction. If there is no me, now this is still the nomadic land of the Huns, if there is no me, here is not far from the desert Hanhai, if there is no me, less than a hundred years, the Han people will not exist in the big river basin, if there is no me, this Han world, I am afraid that it has been war, the lives are devastated, that is, the current Han land is not as good as a county in China. DID YOU KNOW? ”。

"Haha, Hui's old friend has never deceived me. This emblem is enough, I can recognize His Majesty's earth-shattering strategy, and I have no regrets in this life. I also ask Your Majesty for permission to travel to the land of China."

"It's better if you can bring your students. Come, prepare a travel itinerary for Mr., and send a group of brothers to escort the whole tour guide." "No!" The commander of the guards bowed down to receive the order.

"Your Majesty's Emblem has another question, the Emblem has never mentioned the font size and students, how does Your Majesty know?"

"Haha, the people of the Han land, how can they escape my ears and eyes. Zhuge Kongming compares himself to Zhong Leyi, and Pang Shiyuan has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, but his appearance is slightly rough. Haha, do you want me to continue? ”。

"No need, Hui thinks he can make the world, but now it seems that he is just a frog at the bottom of the well."

"Sir, let's take a walk more and see more, what is the difference between today's China and the prosperous era called by Confucius and Mencius. and the Han land to tell me and me".

After Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, he raised the teacup and drank the tea, strode down the mountain very heroically, and returned to the temporary camp. Sima Hui, accompanied by fifty guards, also began his travels in China. It was Sima Hui who wrote a "Chinese Lieji" during this travel, which caused a sensation in Han and influenced Han for thousands of years.
