When Ouyang Xuan's figure reappeared in the simply restored Zhongnan Villa, it was already November. Heavy snow has just shrouded the land of Guan, and now the whole territory of Shu has been easily captured by the Chinese army of the two roads, Gongsun Shu was killed, the Huaxia army seized the land of Guan, almost bloodless, almost all of them fell from the wind, but in Chang'an Wang Yi led the remnants of the army to resist a little, that is, it was defeated, Wang Yi died under artillery fire, and the bones remained.

In Weiyang Palace, the Huaxia Army found Wang Mang's daughter Wang Yan, who was also the queen of Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and was demoted to the head of the Huang Imperial Family, and also found the abdicated Han King Liu Ying in Chang'an, Ouyang Xuan ordered someone to place him in Changle Palace, and also seized the jade seal of the country. Ouyang Xuan is not interested in this jade seal, it is just a symbolic thing, if you want to talk about the quality of jade, the mountain and river map that Ouyang Xuan gave to Ouyang Duo is stronger than the jade seal of the Han Court. The reason why Ouyang Xuan wanted this thing was also for the revival of the Han family in the future. Now Liu Xiu in Handan fortune teller Wang Lang pretended to be Liu Yu was set up as the emperor by Liu Lin, the descendant of Zhao Miao, and began to grab the territory of Hebei with Liu Xiu, and began to chase and kill Liu Xiu in Jixian County, Liu Xiu and his subordinates began to flee, under the instruction of Ouyang Xuan, Zhong Zhao and others in Zhuo County and Bohai County did not show up to rescue, but continued to secretly recruit troops and horses, train soldiers, and now have a well-equipped cavalry team of 50,000 people. The horses were naturally provided by Huaxia, all of them were excellent Mongolian horses outside the Guan, and the weapons and armor were also supported by Huaxia. Zhong Zhao described in the military newspaper that this cavalry alone could sweep Hebei, but Ouyang Xuan only asked them to continue to secretly train soldiers in the mountains, and they were not allowed to move without orders.

After Liu Xuan repeatedly attacked Hangu Pass several times and returned defeated, he chose to give up and began to live a drunken life in Luoyang, wantonly crowned the king, and handed over all government affairs to his father-in-law Zhao Meng to take care of. The righteous army Li Yi and Zhu Kun plundered in Shandong and other places, and the people were not able to make a living, Wang Kuang and Zhang Wei were rampant in Henan, and most of the officials and lords awarded by Liu Xuan were some small merchants and hawkers, and even some peasants and men who did not know a single word. Officials at all levels in China, who were worried about the vast land and sparse population, were overjoyed as if they had obtained a supreme treasure, and they had a home for these nearly one million refugees, and they were given land and money, and they kept robbing people in Sanshui. With people, there will be grain, cattle and sheep, and with production, there will be more taxes. Therefore, some remote areas such as Shenzhou (present-day Heilongjiang Province and the northern region), Shuzhou (the area east of the Ural Mountains), and Jinzhou (the area north of the Altai Mountains) have entered a state of frenzy, and most of them have been robbed by them, plus the refugees robbed at the border passes such as Juyongguan, these prefectures have robbed millions of people in just a few months. The same is true at the southern border. People who had received news in other parts of Han China also began to flee, and Ouyang Xuan ordered the navy to receive refugees in Shandong and other coastal areas and send them to other parts of China except Australia and Kezhou. These refugees must be trained in Chinese national law and environmental protection, and even agricultural skills must be retrained before they can be resettled. At the same time, these Confucian scholars were screened and sent back to Han once they were discovered, which was the law of Huaxia Iron.

Feng Yi, Deng Yu, Wang Ba, Cho Period, Pi Tong, etc., who stayed by Liu Xiu's side, also honed Liu Xiu's will along the way, and also honed Liu Xiu's will, and also ran into the team around Liu Xiu. But Liu Xiu seemed to have forgotten the proverb he gave him, and he was running blindly all the way. I almost forgot Ouyang Xuan's warning when he left.

Ouyang Xuan saw Wang Mang, who was already full of white hair and a lonely expression, in the simple and dim house of the South Villa, and when he saw Ouyang Xuan coming in, he immediately got up, bowed down and said, "The sinner Wang Mang has seen His Royal Highness King Xia."

Ouyang Xuan saw his down-and-out appearance, the murderous intent in his heart was completely gone, and he said slowly: "Jujun, have you ever thought about today's disaster?" I originally wanted to give you twenty years as I said back then, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, if I sent out a few days later, I am afraid that your head would have already been handed over to Luoyang."

"Thank you for your majesty's mercy. Thank you for that."

Ouyang Xuan waved his hand and said: "The word benevolence is commonly used in sour rot, but it is not benevolent. Treat the grass people as ants, let them be killed, and martyred. Those who want to take your life in the world run the country, and there are even more people who want to eat your meat. It seems that you are already angry. Confucian scholars such as you only know how to be inferior and inferior, and they don't know what true benevolence is. Benevolent government needs to be based on humanity in order to benefit all people, otherwise it will be hypocritical and will be spurned by all people sooner or later. You Confucian scholars only know the foolish people, but do not dare to enlighten the people's wisdom. will only teach the people to be obedient, but not to teach the people to think. Kong Zeng said: The people can make it, but they can't know it, and this is where the root of the bane lies. Do you know why? ”。

Wang Mang shook his head in confusion, Ouyang Xuan didn't bother to look at him, and dipped water on the table and wrote the words benevolence and people. Then he said: "You are full of benevolence and morality, but why are you plotting to usurp the throne? You want to restore the system of the ancient sages, but you forget that wolves are always wolves, and they love sheep for food, but the way of Confucius and Mencius, the people are taught that wolves will love sheep, and when the people know that they have been deceived, of course they will be angry."

"What King Xia said is extremely true, reckless knows that he is wrong, and only asks King Xia to spare reckless and his people."

"Do you know that there are people? My own daughters are eager to kill you now, and then quickly, do you think I can spare your people? This is not Ouyang Xuan scaring Wang Mang, but really punishing the Wang family, leaving only Wang Yan and Wang Mang. As for Wang Yan, after all, he was from the Han family, and he also hated Wang Mang very much, so Ouyang Xuan let him spend the rest of his life in Changle Palace, and it was even possible to send him to Huaxia or hand it over to Liu Xiu for support.

After listening to this, Wang Mang collapsed to the ground, sat on the ground and muttered to himself, Ouyang Xuan was so close that he didn't hear what he said. "Wang Mang, for the sake of you and me, let you see what the prosperous world is, and it's not too late to die. As for your people, all those who are in the capital except for the queen will be executed, and your royal family will no longer exist in the world." After speaking, Ouyang Xuan whispered a few words in the guard's ear before turning around and leaving the house. Arrived at the base through the secret passage, and took a flying saucer to the Hutuo River at night.

Looking at the rushing river from a distance, Ouyang Xuan really didn't know how Liu Xiu and his party were going to cross the river. Sent people to search around the upstream and downstream but did not find a boat, so Ouyang Xuan had no choice but to take people to camp on a high ground not far from the river, and the rest could only be resigned to fate. Maybe it's really Liu Xiu, the temperature was very low that night, so low that the surging Hutuo River got up in the morning and formed a thick layer of ice. Seeing Liu Xiu and his party crossing the Hutuo River in embarrassment, Ouyang Xuan ordered two guards to follow Liu Xiu secretly, guiding him to Xindu County when no one was directing him. Could it be that the old man who guided Liu Xiu in the history books was also a traverser? Ouyang Xuan wanted to know who this person was.

Ouyang Xuan watched Liu Xiu and his party cross the river and disappear on the path in the southwest from this height. In the evening, two guards led an old man back to the camp, the old man's beard was already white, and his white beard was fluttering, like a fairy's demeanor, Ouyang Xuan immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "Dare to ask who is the master?" Can you guide Liu Zhijun to Xindu? ”。

"Haha, who should I be, it turns out that King Xia is here. Cao Minshang Shan Hongfang has seen His Royal Highness King Xia".

"Oh? Do you recognize so-and-so? ”。

"Shangshan and Zhongnan Mountain are not far apart, and the family teacher has also seen the King of Xia, and he has painted the appearance of the King of Xia, and he remembers it."

"I would appreciate if you can tell me the name of the teacher."

"Oh, forgive the grass people for being rude, the family teacher once said that when you meet the king of Xia, you must not tell your name. Forty years ago, the family teacher had gone to the Western Regions to preach and preach. Before leaving, he had asked a certain to help the Han room, but he was depressed for many years, he had taught with Chang'an, where he met Liu Yuanjun, and when he raised the army, he also thought about helping him, but he was old and did not adapt to the fatigue of the boat, so he gave up. Recently, I heard that the envoy was in trouble in Hebei, and he came here to point the way to the king."

"Fu Hong? Are you Fu Hong's apprentice? ”

Hong Fang was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and said: "King Xia is really a heavenly man, and Fu Hongnai is an alias of a family teacher."

"Haha, it turned out to be the heir of Wei Sheng, it's so interesting, it's the same door as Han Xin."

"Exactly, I just heard that King Xia was also taught by the family teacher, why didn't the family teacher mention it."

Ouyang Xuan smiled slightly, did not continue, and let Hong Fang into the camp.

In the barracks tent, the best tea was brewed and the tea was tasted. Ouyang Xuan said, "What does Mr. think of this tea ceremony?" ”

"Well, tea originated from Xun and flourished because of the law of the King of Xia. It can be called pure and elegant. The people of the country often say that the king of Xia made tea to prosper the world, making Hu Lu abandon Yin Mountain; Filial piety and martial piety are also declining, and the world is prosperous on three sides and the sea on one side."

"Haha, the ballad is just a joke, and the gentleman laughs. Tea is just a medicinal drink, often drink to clear the heart and eyes, and eliminate minced meat. Usually drinking tea to talk about the world's affairs, the Chinese people often do it. What does the gentleman think? ”

"People are born to be equal, discuss national affairs together, and rule the world together, King Xia has opened a precedent for governing the country, just like the taste of this tea is different, it is the same thing, and it varies from person to person. Accept the words of the people to govern the country, and the country can prosper".

"Sir, is it as intentional as Huaxiahu?"

"The old man has no enterprising heart, only between joy and sorrow and mountains and rivers. This time to help Liu Yuanjun is also a free thought, but also to seek some benefits for the common people of our country. Old, I'm really a little overwhelmed, and I ask King Xia to forgive me."

"It's okay, the land of China, Mr. can go, and now Wang Mang is also traveling around Huaxia under escort. If you can, you can go with him and correct him for his mistakes."

"It's okay, Fang also happens to meet this lord who has brought disaster to the country and the people. It's just that Huaxia is only north and south, and the transportation is very inconvenient, and the old man's bones may be a little dragged."

"Haha, if you can make Mr. tired, Xuan has his own way to save Mr. from the tiredness of the journey. Just ask the gentleman to keep it a secret."

"Oh, it's nature".

"If Mr. is willing, how can he learn from the professor of Huaxia University in his life?"

"Haha, thanks to King Xia's kindness, Rufang still has some spare strength, and it is also the best choice to teach."

"This is very good, Xuan's Chinese science is still a little lacking, and Mr. should be able to teach."

"What King Xia said about science is the reason of people and things?"

"Exactly, in my Chinese world, this is also called philosophy. Mr. can also choose to be good at teaching students, and Xuan gives Mr. Guoshi treatment, which is equivalent to the prince of the Han Dynasty. It's just that it can't be passed on, and Xuan gives Mr. another thing to prolong life." This is Ouyang Xuan's ultimate goal, because Ouyang Xuan believes that Fu Hong's apprentice can be seen from Han Xin and Tai Shuxuan's knowledge, this Hong Fang is definitely not an ordinary man.

"In this way, Fang has thanked King Xia for his kindness here", after speaking, Hong Fang got up and bowed deeply.

Next, Ouyang Xuan and Hong Fang talked for a long time about the situation in Han Land, and through the conversation, Ouyang Xuan had a deeper understanding of Hong Fang, and determined that this person was the philosophical master he wanted, and at the same time he was proficient in the art of war and politics, which made Ouyang Xuan very relieved that he did not bury a figure who could have gone down in history.

It wasn't until nightfall that Ouyang Xuan took Hong Fang on a flying saucer, went to Sanshui Pass, picked up Wang Mang, and went straight to the Xiagu base. Pick up Tai Shuxuan there, transfer to one of the few vehicles with a graupel energy engine and travel around China. Tai Shuxuan seemed to know about Hong Fang's existence, and when they met, he could directly say Hong Fang's name: Yuanchu, which made Ouyang Xuan more curious about Tai Shuxuan's past apprenticeship experience.

Ouyang Xuan brought a total of four cars on this trip, an RV that can do eight people far beyond the performance of later vehicles, two off-road vehicles equipped with weapons, and a van for logistics support. If such a fleet is placed in the future generations, it is absolutely luxurious, with excellent performance, and it is a land vehicle jointly developed with the Duliba people, if it were not for Ouyang Xuan's restriction on the use of oil, this kind of vehicle may be all over China. Some of these wealthy families have also purchased some as a means of transportation, but there are only 100 vehicles in the country.

Wang Mang sat in the car, very lonely, without saying a word looking at the different scenery driving outside the car window, the happy cultivators in the countryside, and the flow of people shuttling in and out of the town, all made Wang Mang feel in a trance. On this trip, Ouyang Xuan had no other purpose, and it was not a private visit to Weifu. But he didn't disturb the local government, but he took Wang Mang and Hong Fang around the market every time he went. Sometimes the vehicle is also put on the train and taken further afield. This trip lasted half a year, and his footprints almost covered all states and counties except Kezhou, which opened the eyes of Wang Mang and Hong Fang.

In a Gobi oasis in Fuzhou (east of the Tianshan Mountains to the Dunhuang region), Wang Mang pointed outside and said the first sentence along the way: "I have been here before, and it is here that I saw the white light." Ouyang Xuan looked out the window and said, "This is the vast Gobi, if you enter here without a way to survive, it will be a place of death." Here, Ouyang Xuan naturally knew that it was the Liuyuan Town of the later generations, close to Gansu. Now it is still a barren Gobi oasis.

After half a year of travel, Hong Fang was also shocked, he never thought that the Chinese Congress was so big, the population was so large, the transportation was so convenient, the land train, the steamer in the sea, the developed land transportation network, and the interwoven canals and waterways all gave Hong Fang and Wang Mang, who were accustomed to seeing the desolation of the Han land, with a great shock.

In the summer of the twenty-fourth year AD, Ouyang Xuan returned to Chang'an with Hong Fang and Wang Mang. In Weiyang Palace, Hong Fang said with infinite emotion: "The great achievements of King Xia are comparable to those of the emperor."

"Mr. has already said that before the war in Han is over, Mr. will recuperate here." After speaking, he made a cup of tea for Hong Fang and handed it over, and at the same time turned his head to Wang Mang and said, "Does the giant monarch know where you failed?" ”

Wang Mang looked at the door of the palace with blank eyes, "Up to now, Mang Fang knows that everyone in the world is greedy, reckless and tongue-in-cheek, but not restrained, reusing villains, and losing great talents." Back then, someone recommended Mr. Hong, but he missed it because of the slander of the people around him. If it had been for Mr. Hong's help, we wouldn't be where we are today."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xuan shook his head and said, "Jujun hasn't comprehended it today, it's hateful. What you have lost is that although the edict is good, there is no way to do it. The Hao clan lost control and joined forces to harm the people. Although the ancient system is good, it is because of the limited conditions at that time, even if there is greed, it will be restricted. Today, it is no longer a wild place in the time of Yao Shun, there are sufficient materials, and greed is suddenly rising. It's just that your face is good, and your heart is not good", Ouyang Xuan was about to continue, and the guards interrupted Ouyang Xuan.
