When Ouyang Xuan and his family rushed to Xinzhou when the meteorite rain fell to the ground, it was already afternoon, and the huge impact force forcibly moved the originally hilly landform into a plain, and black broken meteorites were scattered everywhere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe high temperature melts the rocks of the hill and cools them down to create a strange appearance. Judging from the coordinates of the map, Ouyang Xuan could conclude that this was the strange stone pile where the Chemurchek steppe stone people in the Altay region of Xinjiang were located in the later generations, which was the core area of the stone people in the Central Asian steppe, with all kinds of strange strange stones and groups of black meteorite piles.
"Daddy, are there any casualties?" Fortunately, this is the place where the military horses are located, and more than 10,000 horses have been lost, but the personnel are fine." Ouyang Xuan replied.
"That's good, natural disasters are not terrible. The terrible thing is **, it is better to lose some money and goods than to lose manpower", Ouyang Yan commented like a little adult.
Gangdi is not Fang Yu Taishu Gang's old hatred Qiu Xian "It is rumored that the White Wolf Team and the Wolf Warrior Team are assembled here, and the edict is drafted: Because the queen entered the Tang Dynasty and ran for funeral, her whereabouts are unknown, Chen Bing is millions and border passes everywhere, close the trade passes, and expel the Tang merchants. In addition, the whole army of the Yulin Army will be transferred to Tianshui and be ready for battle at any time."
"Counting the victims and calculating the losses should be paid by the national treasury, not by the local states and counties. The power of the state and county lies in the manpower to provide a place to relocate. Daddy often said: There is no danger of relieving the present, or unexpected changes. People are also happy to help. The rich are also the hearts of people. Its heart is broken, and its original injury is bumpy. In the event of a natural disaster, the people should come first, and in the name of the king, the damaged goods should be repaired, and their homes should be returned."
Ouyang Xuan was very happy, he never expected that some of the ways of governing the country that he had extracted from the "Zizhi Tongjian" would actually evolve into such many truths in Ouyang Yan's mouth, and he was very satisfied. Lovingly touched the little one's head, "Well, according to my son's description." For the sake of the Father, I will do it." Ouyang Xuan found Ou Shu, "Spread the edict and supervise the cabinet, allocate disaster relief money and materials from the state treasury, count the affected population in Xinzhou and Shanyang County, assess the damage, and relocate the damaged pastures, and the ICAC will supervise it." In addition, the General Administration of the Military Department was ordered to build a military horse farm in a different place, and the officers and soldiers in the field were awarded first-class merit once. The required amount will be funded by the Shaofu." "No!" , Ou Shu wrote the edict on the special edict paper, and Ouyang Xuan signed and stamped it after verification, and handed it to Ou Shu. Ou Shu put the two edicts into the edict barrel, sealed them with lead seals, handed them to Feng Dong, and immediately went to Kyoto to deliver the edict.
After Ouyang Xuan dealt with the matter here, he secretly summoned Xian Yushun, the governor of the Western Military Region, the governor of Xinzhou, the governor of Jinzhou, the magistrate of Shanyang County and others, asked about the meteorite rain, and said his thoughts on how the Wuhuan people were. It is recommended to open Shantouguan, which is located at the southern foot of the Ural Mountains, and provide necessary assistance to the Wuhuan people if necessary. Increase air power to ensure the safety of the Wuhuan people's northward passage. Ouyang Xuan has done everything he can, as long as the head of Wuhuan proposes to enter the customs, Ouyang Xuan will definitely agree without hesitation.
After admiring the Northern Lights and watching the meteor shower and meteorite shower, Ouyang Xuan took the family and continued to drive off, without a destination, and walked by feeling. Along the way, stop-and-go, it took three years to transform every county in China, and every corner and some places Ouyang Xuan also went for the first time. When I returned to Kyoto again, the two dolls suddenly seemed to have grown up. When he saw Li Yuan, he was also polite, occasionally made some jokes, and discussed the gains and losses of Central Plains politics with Li Yuan from time to time. For these two children, Li Yuan also likes them very much, and every day he will let Ouyang Yan and Ouyang Yan push them to the square for a walk, and the old and the young get along very well. But the good times did not last long, on March 16, 641 AD, Li Yuan suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the way back from attending the entrance ceremony of his two children, fell into a deep coma, and regained his consciousness for a short time after rescue. Trembling and trembling, he said to Ouyang Xuan: "The old man has ten sons in his life, and there are less than one or two talented people, and the skill of a virtuous son-in-law to raise children is very good. Now that the old man is dying soon, he only hopes that his soul will return to his hometown and enter the main temple." Ouyang Xuan nodded, agreeing to his last request.
When Ouyang Xuan and his family rushed to Xinzhou when the meteorite rain fell to the ground, it was already afternoon, and the huge impact force forcibly moved the originally hilly landform into a plain, and black broken meteorites were scattered everywhere. The high temperature melts the rocks of the hill and cools them down to create a strange appearance. Judging from the coordinates of the map, Ouyang Xuan could conclude that this was the strange stone pile where the Chemurchek steppe stone people in the Altay region of Xinjiang were located in the later generations, which was the core area of the stone people in the Central Asian steppe, with all kinds of strange strange stones and groups of black meteorite piles.
In 640 A.D., on the first day of April in 756 Huaxia, Li Yuan died of illness in Huaxia Imperial Hospital at the age of 75. According to Li Yuan's last words, Ouyang Xuan notified the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to transport Li Yuan's coffin back to Tianshui Pass on the third day of the fourth month. Originally, Ouyang Xuan planned to assign Zhao Liang to be responsible for escorting the coffin back to Chang'an, but as soon as Li Shuning was requested, he also agreed that Li Shuning, Li Yuanjia, Li Lingkui, Yu Wenzhao and Concubine Bin, who wanted to return to Chang'an, would help Ling return to Chang'an, and Xu Yuan would bring more than 100 people to be responsible for escorting.
Li Shimin's honor guard outside the Tianshui Pass was also quite spectacular, and the crown prince Li Chengqian led all the officials of the Zongzheng Mansion and the important ministers of the court to greet the coffin at the Shili Pavilion outside the Guan. Today's Tang Dynasty after Li Shimin's years of operation, the national strength gradually restored to the level of Emperor Wen of Sui in the middle of the period, coupled with the prosperity of commerce, so that the Tang Dynasty showed a kind of vitality, some commodities in China are now the daily necessities of the Tang Dynasty, the degree of dependence on China is increasing day by day, now as long as China closes the border, the Tang Dynasty immediately returned to fifty years ago, Li Shimin's original intention is good, want to introduce technology through commodities, but forget the inertia of Confucian thinking that dominates the society. Now the court is even more chaotic, the hero faction headed by the eldest grandson Wuji and the prince faction headed by the prince are fighting fiercely, among the Tang officials, Ouyang Xuan did not see Ma Zhou, who he had always wanted to see, and the secret affairs department did not inquire about Ma Zhou in the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the Xingzhou governor Ma Zhou was seen in the system of officials and parliamentarians in Huaxia that the investigation was stopped. After Li Yuan became seriously ill for the first time, Ma Zhou, who had just stepped down as governor, was transferred to serve as prime minister and became Hua Ying's deputy.
After the handover, Li Shuning insisted on sending the coffin into the mausoleum before returning to Kyoto, and after consulting Ouyang Xuan, Xu Yuan took a hundred guards to fully armed guards. As Li Yuan's two most proud sons in his later years, he naturally helped Ling into Chang'an with Li Shuning and participated in the funeral. Along the way, the guards were all highly vigilant, because the information report from the secret affairs department showed that Li Shimin had the idea of kidnapping Li Shuning, and he had to guard against it.
It was safe along the way, Li Shimin and the courtiers ten miles away greeted Li Yuan's coffin, and called Li Shuning with a third sister, and took good care of the two younger brothers. According to the Tang envoy in China, Li Yuanjia graduated from Mianzhou State University with excellent grades, and was already working in the Mianzhou Department of Education, but because Li Yuan died of sudden illness, he resigned from his post and escorted the coffin back to Chang'an, and he had the Tang Dynasty Zhibao "Lanting Collection Preface" sticker. Li Lingkui studied at Huaxia University and studied bridge construction, and his grades were also good. These two people, Li Shimin, did not intend to let them go back, so as soon as the coffin entered Chang'an, Li Yuanjia was named the king of Han, and the governor of Luzhou was sealed, and Li Lingkui was the king of Lu, and the thousand households were sealed, and the governor of Yanzhou was added. It can be seen that Li Shimin's expectations for the two of them, and at the same time renamed Li Shuning as the eldest princess of Jinyang, and sealed ten thousand households. Feng Yuwen Zhao is the princess of the Taishang Emperor, and the other princes who came back together also have corresponding rewards, Li Yuanliang was crowned the King of Shu, Yizhou Thorn History, Li Yuanqing was named King of Dao, Yuzhou Thorn History, etc., the princess also sealed a bunch, it seems that Li Yuan's children will stay in the Tang Dynasty, but except for Li Yuanjia, other Li Yuan's children refused Li Shimin's reward in court, which made Li Shimin very faceless.
Li Yuan's funeral was very grand, according to the etiquette system, it should have been buried by Li Shuning, but Li Shimin changed it to himself and Li Yuanjia to help the spirit, and Li Shuning was only allowed to accompany the female dependents. After the funeral, Li Shimin strongly demanded that Li Yuan's children and concubines should guard Li Yuan's mausoleum for one year, and Li Shuning was also on the list. Xu Yuan and other guards were arranged to the right guard camp in Chang'an on the grounds that it was against etiquette for non-Tang people to dance swords in front of the mausoleum, and they were not allowed to enter or leave. Xu Yuan rushed to the wrong time, and hurriedly looked for the communicator to contact Ouyang Xuan, but found that the communicator was also missing. After carefully recalling the entire funeral process, Xu Yuan understood the reason.
After listening to this, Ouyang Xuan was very ashamed of Li Shimin's actions, and ordered the UFO squadron to set off overnight to drop communicators and weapons of mass destruction. For this kind of accurate airdrop in the dark, the flying saucer squadron also thought about it for a long time, and then thought of using a silent drone to accurately airdrop in the night, and now it seems that Li Shuning's communicator has also been stolen. It's just that I don't know the specific location, and I can't get in touch, so I can only give up temporarily in order not to cause Li Shimin to comply. On the night of the second day, under the guidance of the uninjured guards, a small flying saucer flew to the left guard barracks at an altitude of 10,000 meters without light, released a small silent drone carrying more than 100 communicators, and slowly found the house where the guards lived in the air and slowly descended, and when they arrived in the courtyard, they attracted the attention of the guards by hitting the door, took the package, and then flew back to the flying saucer.
There were a lot of people in the whole process, and the guards' attention was on the guards, but they ignored the communicator, few people would fight this idea in the Central Plains, and few people would fight this idea even in Huaxia, and they ignored this matter for a while, and now Xu Yuan can be sure that there must be a master of stealing in the crowd of funeral mourners, and they stole the communicator unconsciously. For this, Xu Yuan found three guards to take advantage of the night, cover each other, leave the barracks, and go straight to the Zhongnan Mountain base, striving to get in touch with Ouyang Xuan as soon as possible.
The three guards were dressed in black, disappeared into the night, and it was quite difficult to get out in the heavy barracks. There are ambushes everywhere, the three of them are masked and fight hard, in order not to reveal their identities can only use ordinary Tang knives, I don't know how many knives are broken, how many people have been killed, at the moment of rushing to the camp gate, the two hands and legs without soft armor were injured, killed three cavalry near the camp gate, took the horses, and then rushed out of the army, when they arrived at the Zhongnanshan base, the two guards finally fell into a state of shock due to injury and blood loss. After the other guard explained the situation, he also fell into a deep sleep. The Ninth Division immediately contacted Ouyang Xuan and explained the situation.
After hearing this, Ouyang Xuan was very ashamed of Li Shimin's behavior, and ordered the flying saucer squadron to set off overnight and airdrop communicators and weapons of mass destruction. For this kind of accurate airdrop in the dark, the flying saucer squadron also thought about it for a long time, and then thought of using a silent drone to accurately airdrop in the night, and now it seems that Li Shuning's communicator has also been stolen. It's just that I don't know the specific location, and I can't get in touch, so I can only give up temporarily in order not to cause Li Shimin to comply. On the night of the second day, under the guidance of the uninjured guards, a small flying saucer flew to the left guard barracks at an altitude of 10,000 meters without light, released a small silent drone carrying more than 100 communicators, and slowly found the house where the guards lived in the air and slowly descended, and when they arrived in the courtyard, they attracted the attention of the guards by hitting the door, took the package, and then flew back to the flying saucer.
As for how to send a communicator to Li Shuning, we have to wait for further news from the Secret Affairs Division. Li Shuning, Li Lingkui and Li Yuan's sons were placed under house arrest in Xianling, Li Shimin actually sent the left and right guards and the left and right guards to block the Xianling, and some of Li Yuan's old ministers were placed under house arrest. If the guards were slightly abnormal, Li Shimin could dispose of anyone in the tomb for any reason. Ouyang Xuan also knew this clearly, it was not that Ouyang Xuan was afraid, but now he had fallen into the full set set by Li Shimin and Li Yuan.
At the Zhongnan Mountain base, Ouyang Xuan paced back and forth, thinking about the solution. "Your Majesty, King Tang's plan is very poisonous, and the slightest mistake will hurt the queen, and it is a mixed guard with heavy troops, and the wolf warrior team cannot be dispatched. If there is a war, it will cause the righteous indignation of the people of the Tang State, and they will take Chinese businessmen hostage and threaten Huaxia. If you don't fight, you don't know when you will be trapped, and the only way to do this now is to wait for the filial piety period to pass, to make it, or to reproduce the art of the year's development." Huang Tingzhong, who was temporarily called over as a staff officer, said.
Feng Ke is not too secret, hating the most Jike Yuan, "Your Majesty is only a threat, I'm afraid it will backfire." Today's Tang Dynasty is also full of hidden dangers, and the princelings have a tendency to rebel, so it is better to use the hands of the prince to kill the Tang king."
"This time I was careless, and I fell in love with Li Shimin's way. Since you are playing yin, I will also give him a yang", after thinking for a long time, Ouyang Xuan said.
"It is rumored that the White Wolf Team and the Wolf Warrior Team are assembled here, and the edict is drafted: Because the queen entered the Tang Dynasty and ran for funeral, her whereabouts are unknown, Chen Bing is millions and border gates everywhere, close the trade passes, and expel the Tang merchants. In addition, the whole army of the Yulin Army will be transferred to Tianshui and be ready for battle at any time."
"Your Majesty is only a threat to this, and I am afraid it will backfire. Today's Tang Dynasty is also full of hidden dangers, and the princelings have a tendency to rebel, so it is better to use the hands of the prince to kill the Tang king."
Huang Tingzhong also began to pace back and forth in the pavilion, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, there is no truth to raise troops now, it is better to wait for the filial piety period to pass before marching the army.
After the handover, Li Shuning insisted on sending the coffin into the mausoleum before returning to Kyoto, and after asking Ouyang Xuan, Xu Yuan took a hundred guards to fully armed guards. As Li Yuan's two most proud sons in his later years, he naturally helped Ling into Chang'an with Li Shuning and participated in the funeral. Along the way, the guards were all highly vigilant, because the information report from the secret affairs department showed that Li Shimin had the idea of kidnapping Li Shuning, and he had to guard against it.
"Your Majesty can send an envoy to the Prophet and the Empress in advance, and secretly send a communicator to understand the internal situation. After all, His Majesty had promised Li Gong not to go first with the Tang Dynasty, so it was better to punish him with celestial phenomena first, cut off the Guanzhong River, and caused a great drought in Guanzhong. Spread rumors that the Tang King was acting against the sky".
"No, the people of Guanzhong have suffered too much. This time, don't be angry about this, and start the art of mysticism. Wait for the opportunity, after the filial piety period, if Li Shimin is still reckless, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Shuning took Li Yuanjia, Li Yuankui and other brothers to walk slowly in the cemetery every day when they had nothing to do, and there was no nervousness at all, just like a vacation. "Third sister, why did the imperial brother imprison us here?" , Li Yuankui asked.
After the war, Li Shuning took Li Yuanjia, Li Yuankui and other brothers to walk slowly in the cemetery every day when they had nothing to do, and there was no feeling of tension at all, just like a vacation. "Third sister, why did the imperial brother imprison us here?" , Li Yuankui asked.
"Why? And not for the sake of imperial power and interests. Imprisoning me is tantamount to this, just as a hostage. After all, above the court, the second brother's reward was refuted, and he was also a Li family, and he was in a foreign country, which would bring stigma to the second brother's imperial power. Killing his brother and seizing the throne, his brother is far away, and I am afraid that he will not be able to let go. can only be temporarily placed under house arrest, and now there are many Chinese businessmen in the Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that they will now be reduced to protons. It is also the best policy to control China by coercion", Li Yuanjia said lightly.
"Yuan Jia said very well, rest assured, Your Majesty may not ignore it. The strength of the country cannot be coerced, and this Li Tang should also change the sky", the last sentence Li Shuning said very loudly, so loud that the officials who were looking at the door could hear it clearly.
