Chapter Seventy-Four: The Emperor's Assassination

85_85249 The cause is Zhong Zhao's secret report, a group of more than 300 desperate rangers is gathering somewhere in Xingzhou, and there may be a big move. The letter attracted Ouyang Xuan's attention, and Xingzhou (in present-day northern Pakistan, eastern Iran, southern Turkmenistan to the Himalayas) was now an important passage of the Silk Road, with four important railway lines passing through it, and was a hub for trade between the East and the West. There are more than 30 cities here, because most of them are deserts, and the population is only 3 million. Caravans were usually escorted by train or by hired military convoys, and the Xingzhou was located in the city of Hansha (near present-day Kunduz in northern Afghanistan), where the group was assembled, probably targeting the caravans.

Ouyang Xuan immediately recruited the White Wolf Team who were still training into the palace and ordered them to pretend to be envoys of the Huaxia Kingdom and escort the national gift to the State of Rest. Lead those bandits to show up and destroy them. When these people finished putting on makeup and drove the carriage out of the palace, Ouyang Xuan actually saw two bears following him, and his nose was almost crooked. Pulling over the captain and asking, this guy has a good word, and in order to disguise his identity and increase the value of the goods, Ouyang Xuan will let them mess around, as long as the task is completed.

As soon as people were sent here, news came from the imperial court that Ouyang Dan was assassinated and critically ill. This made Ouyang Xuan thunderous, and the rest of the people dared to assassinate the emperor, this was not a rebellion. Overnight, he flew straight to Xiagu with Uncle Xuan's mother and daughter, guards and surgical instruments, and recalled Huang Tingzhong in Liaozhou, stabbing the emperor This is a big deal.

When he arrived in Xia Valley, he settled Uncle Xuan's mother and daughter in the eldest princess's mansion, and Ouyang Xuan only took five guards and went straight to the palace overnight. When Ouyang Xuan saw Ouyang Dan, he was already in a state of shock. He also had a bow and arrow stuck in his left chest, and bandages were also wrapped around his abdomen and legs. Empress Zhang looked at Ouyang Xuan with teary eyes beside her. After Ouyang Xuan checked the injury, Empress Zhang knelt down on her knees: "Ask the ancestor to save Your Majesty", Ouyang Xuan hurriedly helped Empress Zhang up and said: "Treatment is necessary, just figure out the reason first." Sooner than I do".

"Your Majesty was invited by the Li family yesterday to go to the Li hunting ground in the west of the city to hunt, and when hunting, a strong man suddenly broke in, fired several arrows at His Majesty, escaped, His Majesty was hit by four arrows, and his life was on the verge of death. Yesterday, the cabinet officials failed to arrest the fugitives overnight, and the Li family had already fled. Only three arrows were taken from His Majesty's body, and one imperial doctor did not dare to take any more, so the mourning family ordered the cabinet to notify the ancestors to come." After speaking, Zhang clapped his hands, and two imperial doctors walked out from behind the screen, and Ouyang Xuan also recognized them, both of them were the descendants of the righteous concubine, and they were also his own apprentices. As long as Ouyang Xuan is not there, they will be stationed in the palace to diagnose and treat diseases for the royal family. Everyone was holding a porcelain plate in their hands, and on it was the arrow taken from Ouyang Dan's body. Ouyang Xuan picked up an arrow and looked at it carefully, sure enough, it was a sharp weapon, the arrow was triangular, the tail of the arrow was very wide, there were barbs behind each edge, and there were evenly arranged and raised barbs on the arrow shaft at the back of the arrow, which ensured that the arrow would not pass through the body after being shot, and if the arrow penetrated the body artificially when taking the arrow, it would only cause more serious damage. If it is pulled upside down, the injury is more severe. This kind of bow and arrow has long been discontinued in Huaxia, and this is still the style made by Ouyang Xuanping during the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but there are no barbs on the shaft of the arrow. The arrowheads are made of stainless steel and are extremely delicately made. Ouyang Xuan took out a crossbow arrow from his crossbow quiver, and the fifty crossbow arrows he made at the beginning are still there. The style of the arrow is similar to that of the crossbow arrow, except that the tail of the crossbow arrow is thinner and the barbs are somewhat rough. If there are still people who use this kind of arrowhead, they should all be in Handi. Triangular weapons have been banned in China, and even the army is only used for spearmen. As for the bow and arrow, because of the drag, it has long been discontinued, and the more aerodynamic arc multi-edged arrow is used.

After reading the arrow, Ouyang Xuan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare an operating room. I touched the pulse, there was a weak heartbeat, and the body temperature was a little high, with the assistance of the imperial doctor, a general anesthesia was done for Ouyang Dan, and the drugs used were a new type of preparation developed by the School of Medicine of Huaxia University under the guidance of Du Liba. There are two operating rooms in the palace, one in the Seven Star Palace where Ouyang Xuan lived, and the other in the imperial hospital. Ouyang Dan's surgery was arranged in the operating room of the Imperial Hospital, after all, it is commonly used here and is well-equipped. Ouyang Xuan personally operated the surgery, and the two imperial doctors were quite excited, what an honor it was to be able to operate on the same stage as the ancestor for the emperor. Although more than 160 years have passed, Ouyang Xuan's medical skills have not only not been thrown away, but have become more sophisticated. After all, there are many wounded people on the battlefield, and more people are killed, and the people healed may be the sum of the patients treated by ten doctors and surgeons in a lifetime. Especially in the Dawan Palace, which is close to the mountain village, people there who have a headache and brain fever will go to the hospital on the edge of the palace to see a doctor.

Ouyang Dan's surgery was also very thrilling, because there was no imaging equipment, so he could only rely on his feelings, explore first, and then do the next step. It is also God's favor for Ouyang Dan, this crossbow arrow grabs the aortic arch tightly, if it is a millimeter down, Ouyang Dan should also die. Ouyang Xuan took the arrow with extreme care, removed the necrotic tissue, and after meticulous debridement, he was sutured layer by layer, and the operation was completed after decompression of the pleural cavity. The whole operation lasted two hours, after the operation, Ouyang Dan's blood pressure also returned to normal after intravenous rehydration, and his face was still pale, Ouyang Xuan judged from experience that as long as the infection was controlled, Ouyang Dan was no longer in danger of life. Fortunately, Ouyang Dan does not lose a lot of blood, if you need a blood transfusion, it is a very troublesome thing, affected by the concept of this era, collecting plasma has always been a difficult thing, although Huaxia already has no less than the technology of collecting and storing plasma in later generations.

Ouyang Xuan observed in the imperial hospital all night, and it was not until noon on the second day that Ouyang Dan slowly woke up. Ouyang Xuan did a detailed inspection for him again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he let Ouyang Dan continue to recuperate and rest, and the affairs of the DPRK and China were temporarily represented by himself. But Ouyang Dan's words made Ouyang Xuan a little surprised. "Ancestor, don't implicate too much in Dan'er's affairs. Just catch the thief, and there will be no more killing. After all, the Li family is one of the four great wealthy families of our dynasty, and if it is implicated, the country will be damaged."

"Silly boy, the Li family has already scattered their wealth and fled to the Han land, that is, it is premeditated, how can there be a reason not to leave a backhand? Seeking and moving, acting and rear, this Li still played well. I have sent someone to investigate the cause of this matter, so you can just calm down and recuperate. For the time being, I and the cabinet will act as agents for the time being."

"Ancestor, if I die, who should the throne pass on? Please show it to your ancestors."

"Among my children, only Duo'er can take on the responsibility today. You can rest in peace and don't think about the future. Don't forget, you still have me behind you. The reason why you are not allowed to run the army is because you are afraid that the military power will be sidelined and the state will be in danger. Otherwise, the last time the wealthy clan messed up the government, it was enough to break up the state affairs."

Ouyang Xuan returned to his palace room, summoned officials at all levels of the Criminal Department and the Yulin guards sent to Ouyang Dan's side, and inquired in detail about the situation before and after Ouyang Dan's assassination, which was similar to what Empress Zhang described. It's just that afterwards, when I went to check the Li family again, the house was already empty. The account in the money bank had already been emptied a few months ago, and the reason they gave Nie Sheng for the withdrawal was to buy the bulk goods of Anxi and Rome, which did not attract Nie Sheng's attention. Now the Li clan suddenly disappeared from China, which also surprised him, and quickly ordered the recovery of all the passenger and cargo ships jointly operated with the Li family. On the recovered ships, a large number of gold yuan were seized, two of which had docked at a wharf in Qiancheng County, Handi, and after receiving the return order, they directly ripped off the cable and returned to Wanghai, bringing back the goods that Li had not had time to unload.

After Ouyang Xuan understood the cause and effect, he sent another order to Zhong Zhao to find out the origin of the Li family and the Han court. It should not be the work of domestic people who dare to openly assassinate the emperor, because the Chinese royal family and officials know Ouyang Dan's status and the actual ruler of Huaxia. Assassinating the emperor is equivalent to sending him to death, this is something that the Chinese royal family and officials know, and it is even more impossible to assassinate Ouyang Xuan, first of all, his whereabouts are uncertain, he may be in the capital today, and the second day is already in Dongyang, which is thousands of miles away, and the second Ouyang Xuan is highly skilled, and several assassination failures have already explained the problem, and the third is that the guards around Ouyang Xuan are well guarded, and each is an enemy of a hundred. The above three items were enough to make the assassin fearful, and the emperor's status was only the role of Ouyang Xuan's front spokesperson.

After Ouyang Xuan learned about the situation, he ordered a battalion of Yulin Army to be transferred into the palace to protect the emperor and the royal family. This time Ouyang Dan was assassinated, and it really had nothing to do with the Yulin guards, it was Ouyang Dan who refused to accompany the Yulin guards and only brought two palace guards. Ouyang Xuan also ordered someone to make the soft armor for the Yulin Army for the emperor and empress, of course, using the same material as Ouyang Xuan.

The next day, Ouyang Xuan went to check on Ouyang Dan's injuries again, under the influence of the hail energy, the wounds healed quickly, but his body was still very weak. After explaining the precautions to the imperial doctor, Ouyang Xuan went out of the palace and went to the princess's mansion, Ouyang Xuan felt that it was more comfortable than the palace, and the palace gave Ouyang Xuan more depression and responsibility. The continuous events also made Ouyang Xuan a little depressed. According to Ouyang Xuan's character, he prefers a free life, and outside of life is that responsibility, but now Ouyang Xuan feels that his burden is getting heavier and heavier, if he completely lets go, then the space-time potential energy will pull the historical space-time he created back to the original track, which is absolutely unacceptable to Ouyang Xuan.

In the princess's mansion, it is natural to satisfy Tai Shuxuan's appetite, and personally cook a table of first-class dishes, Ouyang Qian and Tai Shuxuan are both extroverted people, naturally they each hold a baby regardless of it, and feast in the restaurant, Ouyang Xuan and Tai Shuyuan are pushing cups in the pavilion to change the lamp, Uncle Tai just accompanied him for a while and then went back to his room, looking at his lonely and departing figure, Ouyang Xuan always felt that the old man seemed to have a lot to say. Ouyang Xuan didn't think much about it, and continued to chat with Tai Shuyuan, Tai Shuyuan still maintained the attitude of not caring about national affairs in the past, still talking about the university, talking about his chemistry major, and talking about the electron cloud around the atom that he had just learned from the Duliba people. Tell why an electron on the periphery of a hydrogen atom works and closely combines two atoms, although the discipline of chemistry was created by Ouyang Xuan, it is just for the convenience of making gunpowder and gasoline in the future, Ouyang Xuan already has a very deep chemical foundation, what Tai Shuyuan said, Ouyang Xuan may know more than him, the two of them held a pen and paper on the wine table and discussed the profound scientific knowledge back and forth, completely forgetting that this was drinking, and did not stop until nightfall, and continued to drink. When Ouyang Xuan helped the already drunk to the bed, Tai Shuyuan said drunkenly: "Governing the country and being a man is not like this." The Holy Emperor knows this way, why not do it", and fell asleep after speaking.

On the way back to the room, Ouyang Xuan kept thinking about this, and gradually Ouyang Xuan understood the mystery. I am more and more impressed by this uncle, the connection between atoms is the intersection of this electron cloud, and the denser and larger this intersection is, the stronger the binding force between atoms, what a vivid metaphor, and Ouyang Xuan has always rejected this kind of intersection, especially the intersection of officials and businessmen, businessmen will also have political interests appeals, and they will naturally collude with each other, and there will be *, and atomic intersections will have a fixed form and place, so why don't you provide them with such a place, so that all levels of society will converge together. This is what Ouyang Xuan had thought about setting up a deliberative body before, after Tai Shuyuan's analogy, it turned out that he only wanted to be officials and businessmen, and now with the addition of other groups of people in society, this is a wonderful move. Lying on the bed, Ouyang Xuan was still figuring out how to set up this deliberative body, completely ignoring the cat-like Uncle Xuan.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ouyang Xuan hurried to the palace, and after discussing with Ouyang Dan for a day, Ouyang Xuan rushed to Massachusetts Wencheng with Huang Tingzhong and Li Mu overnight, and continued to discuss with Tang De how to establish this deliberative body, and after five days of repeated consultations, a complete plan was finally formed. After returning to Xia Gu and handing it over to Ouyang Dan, a formal plan was finally formed. In fact, it is very simple, there is a council under the Zhongshu Province, with 364 seats, two people are elected by each county, and the term of office is five years, called Zhongshu, the first term, one of whom has a term of office of three years, and then five years, and then selected by each county after the expiration of the term, and the responsibility is to draft and deliberate on various decisions. It belongs to a non-governmental political participation body, and the decision-making of the parliamentary chamber is equivalent to the emperor's edict, and the proposal proposed by each Zhongshu must be jointly signed by five Zhongshu and passed by 60% of the seats before the decision can be formed. During the term of office of the Zhongshu, the counties shall not be abolished without authorization, and if there is any violation of the law, it must be deliberated and approved by the Senate before it can be arrested and abolished, and the emperor and the Emperor Taishang have the right to dissolve the Senate at any time and re-elect. However, there is one exception, if Zhongshu is a scholar of Confucianism or puts forward a proposal involving Confucianism, after verification, he can be arrested by the Criminal Department and punished by the three clans.

Originally, Ouyang Xuan planned to establish a two-level parliamentary system, but considering the cognitive and humanistic development of society, he chose a transitional plan. The Li clan who fled to the Han land, after Zhong Zhao used the network in his hands, gradually found out that he was bewitched by Wang Mang Xu Yi Marquis, and originally wanted to move to the Han land, plus the mother of the Li clan patriarch was a Xianbei person, Ouyang Xuan's matter also made the current Li family have some fear, so they had the idea of assassinating the emperor Na Tou name. It's just that it backfired, if it weren't for Ouyang Xuan's presence, it would have really fulfilled their wishes. It was also the news that they released to purchase a large amount of materials that attracted more than 100 rangers to Xingzhou.

The assets of the Li family are also rich and rival the country, ranking fourth among the wealthy families in China in the statistics of the household department last year, ranking behind the Nie family, the Wei family, and the Ling family, which has made the Huaxia market a lot colder, but this is only temporary, with the strong productivity and prosperous business in Huaxia, it will soon make up for the vacancy left by the Li family, and also give other businesses an opportunity, maybe next year when the Hao family counts, there will be a new clan to catch up. Ouyang Xuan looked at the account books of the household department and let out such an emotion.

After Ouyang Dan's physical condition returned to normal, Ouyang Xuan took the reluctant Tai Shuxuan mother and daughter back to Dawan Palace, because it involved the secret of flying saucers, he was going to take his uncle back to Dawan together, but he had to leave some health medicine before returning to Dawan on his own.

Returning from the summer valley, it was early summer, and the herdsmen were on the way to the field, Ouyang Gui, who had just learned to walk, liked this season full of flowers in the mountains, and had to stagger around the green alpine meadows every day. Buick and Gu Li naturally escorted on both sides, since Ouyang Gui came to the world, Buick and Gu Li would revolve around her every day, and they no longer competed with the two Phoenix Emperors. The more than 100 rangers were all arrested under the pursuit of the White Wolves, and after interrogation, there were more than 70 people wanted by the government among the more than 100 people, including more than 20 people who were killed, and Ouyang Xuan ordered them to hand over these people to the Xingzhou government.

Things don't always go according to people's wishes, and on the second day after handing over these people to the government, they were robbed by a group of unknown people, and they also assassinated the Xingzhou prefect and the Xingzhou public security governor, hearing this news, Ouyang Xuan's anger has reached the extreme. Personally rushed to Hansha City with a thousand guards to meet these rangers in person
