The total solar eclipse took place as scheduled, and at three o'clock, the heavens and the earth were plunged into darkness and the temperature plummeted. The sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout Chang'an City, and the Yulin army running around Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace shuttled like a forest. The generals of the Northern and Southern Army guarding the gate of the palace and the generals of the Yulin Department of Korea and Central Africa were very nervous, and their swords were tense, as if they were facing a great enemy. On the other hand, the generals of the Yulin Department were relaxed, and they were still looking at the changing sun with the eyes they got from Ouyang Xuan. When the beautiful Bailey bead appeared, there was a shout of excitement. One by one, the total solar eclipse landscape described by Ouyang Xuan, especially the loud voice of Lang Xuan, when he saw Bai Lizhu is scream, Huang Men, who was frightened by the deacon, almost fell to the ground.

Time is still passing, but people's hearts have changed. Due to Ouyang Xuan's arrangement in advance, the noble relatives who wanted to see the Queen Mother and Queen Wang were all intercepted outside the palace gate, if it weren't for Ouyang Xuan's order, these people would most likely have done the knife again. Although these Yulin soldiers are Liu Qi's own soldiers, they are absolutely loyal to Ouyang Xuan, after all, they are all poor people in society, and they have obtained their due status through training and war, plus Ouyang Xuan has never put on a shelf in front of the soldiers, and often eats and lives together, which makes these soldiers live and die together. It was noon until the end of the solar eclipse, and the city of Chang'an was unusually calm. Except for the sound of gongs, which is the running footsteps of the Yulin Army, there is no other noise. All the strange voices were drowned out by the power.

When the sky returned to its former tranquility, the world was mixed with gossip. When it reached Ouyang Xuan, it was three days later, and he bowed down and stood at his side: "Lord, there is a saying among the people: the ministers are on the side of the king, and the solstice is eclipsed; The stars are contradictory to the northwest, and the sky is reflected in the sky." "Haha, let them go, as long as the courtiers don't move." "My lord, the prime minister is sparse this morning, please check the truth according to Amaterasu, so as to appease the hearts of the people."

"Well, got it, keep exploring. General Chuanlang and General Zhang came to the mansion to discuss something." "No!".

In the evening, Lang Oath and Zhang Jian came with their own soldiers. After giving a salute in the warm pavilion, stand on the side. Ouyang Xuan said: "Order the Yulin Army to implement a curfew in Gyeonggi, and station a military near the home of the official eunuchs and nobles, and if there is any change, they will be killed." "No!" , the two of them were about to come out, and Ouyang Xuan hurriedly pulled them to sit down and taste tea. "These are all small things, just tell your subordinates to do it, and there are other big things to worry about. A certain person wants to build a rich land in the Zhongxia and Zuoxia areas, and urgently needs middle-earth farmers to open up wasteland and cultivate land. When the two generals have free time, they can move the families and relatives of the soldiers to the two places and secretly move the people. The required money and grain are all supported by the government, and the agricultural technology department of the government is responsible for the wasteland, and each household is at least 100 acres or more, exempt from tax for five years, and the rent is halved. You can freely exchange cattle and sheep with the Huns, can you see it? ”。

"The subordinates receive orders, such good things, and those who follow themselves are like a bird. Poor and landless peasants, there are many lands in Shandong Jianghuai, and there is no livelihood. The subordinate led the villagers and peasants to thank the prince". "Go ahead and do it, just do it in secret, and don't make a noise." "No!" The two drank two cups of tea and came out.

The folk rumors gradually faded with Ouyang Xuan's cold treatment and the coercion of the high-level. Liu Qi is very depressed now, he has just gotten rid of the control of the Queen Mother, and now he is threatened by the powerful Xiahou, and he spends his days in the palace every day. Although Ouyang Xuan ignored the government all day long, the coercion was still there, and the Yulin Army on duty was like a steel knife on his head, and if he was not careful, his head would fall to the ground. I don't know what kind of psychology it is, the degraded queen Wang took back to Weiyang Palace, and Liu Che was also picked up at the same time. These were also the result of Ouyang Xuan's indulgence.

In the blink of an eye, it was May of the second year, and the drought in winter and spring made the locust plague in summer come as scheduled, but the land of Guanzhong and the middle summer was less affected, and the most serious was in Hanzhong, Shandong, and Henan. Looking at the bare fields, the villagers wanted to cry without tears. I had to take advantage of some of the grain stocks to leave my hometown, and go straight to the places of Zuoxia and Zhongxia that could give them money and grain. A locust plague caused the migration of nearly a million people in Middle-earth, and this was also the first time that Ouyang Xuan had a population migration north in this era. In the original history, it was during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that large-scale immigration filled in the border.

The time of day once again doomed Ouyang Xuan's fate, and when another solar eclipse came in mid-October, Ouyang Xuan had to make a choice. There is no way, power can't hide your mouth after all. Under the repeated bombardment of courtiers and nobles in Chang'an, Liu Qi had to compromise. After a long talk with Ouyang Xuan at Zhongnan Villa. Finally, Ouyang Xuan was named the king of Xia, and the fief was occupied from the Xiongnu, and he paid tribute every year according to the vassal state, and once every five years, the expanded territory was used for its purposes, and the fief of Juxian County was recovered, and he immediately went to the fief to take office.

This is also a compromise plan, and it is also the only realistic plan that Ouyang Xuan will discuss with Nie Ping and others after a year of thinking. After more than a year of construction, Xia Gu City has begun to take shape. The locust plague migrants have also been properly resettled, and the original pastures of the Xiongnu herdsmen have been effectively and reasonably protected. Ouyang Xuan, under Sima Ji's fortune plan, chose to set off for the fiefdom on an auspicious day in mid-November. It was not only the Yulin Army that was taken away, but also most of the people in the fiefdom of Juxian County.

On the day of departure, Liu Qi personally led hundreds of officials to see him off, and as for Ouyang Xuan's affairs of bringing troops and people, he could only let it go under coercion. This humiliation brought to the Liu dynasty led to a war thirty years later.

"Your Majesty, the minister will take his leave, take care. Just follow the prescription prescribed by the minister, and your majesty can live to old age. Listen to the advice, establish the way of the old Huang, abolish Confucianism, and the Han family will prosper. If His Majesty needs ministers, Xuan Zi will help him."

"After King Xia took office, he had to guard the border for the Han family more, and he was not allowed to pick up side affairs."

"The minister swears here, if the Xia State is good at provoking a war with the Han, the sky will split and thunder."

"Very well. What else does King Xia want, just bring it."

"Your Majesty has only one request, please allow your courtier's caravan to walk around Middle-earth, to trade merchants, and buy and sell supplies."

"I am approved, and I will give a special edict to announce to the world that the tax rate will be implemented according to the Han family."

"So, thank you, Your Majesty. Before leaving, he gave a jade atlas to His Majesty." After speaking, he ordered the person to give Liu Qi the world map carved in jade that took several days to complete.

"Your Majesty, this picture is an atlas of the world, and it is engraved here. If the geography is unknown, please refer to this object". Liu Qi carefully took over the jade relief with the assistance of the Yellow Gate, which clearly showed the various counties of the Han Dynasty, the distribution of rivers and mountains was clearly identifiable, and the Xiongnu, Xia and the Western Regions were all marked one by one, which was simply a three-dimensional topographic map of the world. Although Liu Qi was buried in the Yang Mausoleum later, when the archaeological excavation was discovered, it was already after Ouyang Xuan entered the five-dimensional space again, causing an uproar in the world. Because Ouyang Xuan clearly marked the door of the five-dimensional space on the jade. A new round of energy controversy has been triggered.

"King Xia took care all the way to this trip. The Han family is also the foundation of the Xia king, and if necessary, the Han family will do its best to help."

Bidding farewell to everyone one by one, Ouyang Xuan led the white wolf and the Yulin army to follow behind the immigration team, out of Chencang, went to Gaoping, passed through Sanshui, crossed the Yellow River, and entered the land of Zhongxia, and when he arrived at Xiagu City, it was the end of December. Along the way, the migrants were resettled, all guarding the good fields of the river valley, and the houses that had already been built to avoid the cold of winter. When they arrived in Xia Valley, only the 10,000 personal soldiers led by Ouyang Xuan remained.

As soon as the cold winter passed, it was a doomed year, the spring of 145 BC had more rain, and the water of the rivers increased compared with previous years, Ouyang Xuan ordered all the people to dredge the rivers, drink water for irrigation, and make the Yellow River loop area into a dense river network area. For the Zuoxia area, ditches are still dug for irrigation, afforestation, and each type of land can get a bucket of grain. For the Xiongnu who liked grazing, they moved to the Later Xia region, and the spring, autumn and summer pastures were demarcated according to the tribe. Those who don't like grazing learn to farm from the Han people and are exempt from paying taxes for ten years. Han and Hungarian intermarriages were exempt from taxes and miscellaneous labor for ten years. Due to the dense river network, the summer flood did not cause any damage to the Xia land, but made the corn and potatoes more robust. In the autumn, grain crops increased by two percent. The news from Han showed that the opposition forces were still not willing to be lonely, Liu Qi still restored Liu Che to the crown prince, and Wang Mo also restored the queen. The abolished queen Bo was brought to the Xia Kingdom by Ouyang Xuan, and led the white wolf with Liu Hui, Yi Fei, and the main father Yan every day, symbolically put a few brightly colored sheep, and the surrounding Huns learned to speak the Xiongnu language, drank milk tea, and lived quite happily, and accepted the righteous concubine as a righteous daughter. It wasn't until Liu Hui became pregnant that she gave up those lovely sheep. Every day, he led the white wolf and the concubine, and the main father Yan around Liu Hui, seeing that the posture was more nervous than her pregnancy. The summer floods in the Guanzhong area of Handi, Henan, Shandong and other places flooded countless fertile fields, once again forcing the villagers to leave their hometowns and go to the Xia Kingdom.

Ouyang Xuan's first son was finally born in the beginning of spring, for the birth of this child, the whole Xia Kingdom, including the Xiongnu herdsmen, sang and danced, Liu Qi also sent a congratulatory gift, and the congratulatory gift of the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu came relatively late. After discussing with Nie Ping and others, it was finally decided by Empress Bo and named Ouyang Hong. With the bumper harvest of high-yield corn and potatoes, Xia Guo's year was very relaxed and comfortable, and various measures were implemented one by one under Ouyang Xuan's suggestion, such as promoting agriculture, opening kindergartens, building cities, and repairing Chi Road. The 200 students trained at the beginning have now become the main force of scientific research and construction in the Xia Kingdom, three bridges have been built over the Yellow River, dozens of factories such as porcelain, steel, textiles, and weapons have been opened, troops have been sent to seize the Liaodong Peninsula from Wei Joseon, and a shipyard has been built on the site of Port Arthur in the later era. More than 10 copper mines were surveyed in many places in the territory of Mo Nan and Zuo Xian Wang, and a large number of copper mines were mined and smelted. Five-baht coins were issued, and three currencies of gold, silver and copper were circulated.

After more than 20 years of production and construction, the Xia Kingdom has a population of 20 million, and has successively eliminated the Wuhuan, Xianbei, Fuyu, Sushen, Wei's Joseon and other departments, and drove the people down the mountain to civilize and educate. Every five years of Hajj, Ouyang Xuan has never returned to Chang'an. After Ouyang Xuan withdrew from Middle Earth, under the instigation of Yuan Ang and Wei Juan, Confucianism gradually returned to its former prosperity. Now that Liu Qi is old and old, he sent a letter to Xia Valley, and Ouyang Xuan set off for Chang'an with the white wolf and his own soldiers overnight.

Weiyang Palace, Qingliang Palace.

Liu Che stood in front of Liu Qi's sickbed, "Che'er, does Xia Guo have a letter?" ”

"Back to my father, King Xia replied to the letter, and I will be able to enter the court and see him in a few days. It's just that the retainers think that this son is unfaithful and untrustworthy."

"A bunch of nonsense, cough, cough, cough, if King Xia is disloyal, the Han family will have already turned into ashes. Although the current national strength is prosperous, it is far less prosperous than the Xia country, why not? At the beginning of my teaching, I drove the Xia king, otherwise the land of the Han family would be like the Xia country, with strong national strength and sufficient soldiers. After a hundred years, remember not to anger King Xia, otherwise the country will not exist."

"It's not a vassal country, there's nothing to be afraid of. The feather forest of the door during the training period of the sons is enough to resist it."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, never. You still don't know the strength of the soldiers of the Xia State, when they swept through Monan, broke through Chencang, and broke Chang'an only in a moment, you want to do so, I will abolish you immediately. I should not have listened to the parting words of King Xia."

At this time, the deacon Huang Men at the gate of the hall came to report: "Your Majesty, King Xia will see you in the court." "Hurry up and come here!" Promise! ”

"You should retreat first, there must be no misdeeds", Liu Qi waved his hand at Liu Che and said. "No!" Liu Che was extremely reluctant and turned around. In less than a quarter of an hour, Ouyang Xuan, under the guidance of the Yellow Gate, walked to the hall and bowed in front of Liu Qi's couch. "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, Your Majesty is fine."

"Xia Wang Chang'an farewell, the year of double ten. I am very worried, but I am too old and my body is declining. There is no longer the ability of the past".

Ouyang Xuan stepped forward to do the diagnosis position and take the pulse. The pulse is like a gossamer, and the breath is dying. I took out my stethoscope and listened to the lung sounds, and the crackles became heavier. "Your Majesty has been suffering from lung disease for a long time, and he is unable to return to heaven. If it had been earlier, the minister would have been able to heal." "It's okay, I summoned King Xia to come, just for some trust. Che'er is full of impermanence, and I ask King Xia for more help in the future." "Your Majesty's words are serious, and the ministers will swear an oath and must abide by them."

Ouyang Xuan hurriedly took out the hardcover gold and stone powder, asked Huang Men to fetch water, and sprinkled the gold and stone powder into the water. "Your Majesty, take this water for the time being, it can relieve it for a while." "I know the destiny of heaven, and I don't need the king of Xia to work." "Where did the words come from, if it weren't for His Majesty's kindness to his ministers in the past, there would be no Xuan today." Under the service of Huangmen, Liu Qimian reluctantly drank the water, and Ouyang Xuan gave him another injection of streptomycin. watched Liu Qi fall asleep before leaving the palace and returning to the post house. Chang'an City has not changed much from 20 years ago, and it is still as lifeless as ever.

The next day, Ouyang Xuan did not enter the palace, but took the guards around Chang'an to take a look at his original fiefdom. The potatoes and corn that have been widely planted in the Xia Kingdom are not seen in the Guanzhong Plain, and they are still those low-yielding corns. Although in the past 20 years, the territory of the Han Dynasty has not felt a trace of change, and he returned to the post house with a strong sense of loss. There was a man standing at the door, who seemed to be somewhat familiar. When Ouyang Xuan walked in, the man stepped forward and bowed and said, "Sima Xiangru of the grass people has seen King Xia." "Changqing, why didn't you come a few years ago?".

"A few years ago, the grass people followed King Liang, and after King Liang was imprisoned, he seemed to have nowhere to go, so he returned to his hometown to live. Some time ago, I heard that the king of Xia entered Beijing, and he went out of Shu to meet the king of Xia." "Well, it's narrated." Invited Sima Xiangru to the Guanyi hall and ordered the guards to fill it with tea. Tasting tea, Ouyang Xuan said slowly: "What are Changqing's plans in the future?" ”。“ I never thought that it was just in vain, and there was no other skill." "It's okay, I don't know if I can go to the king's place and teach some poetry and poetry in the university." "It's like thanking King Xia", after speaking, he got up and bowed. "Go back and put your small belongings in place, and set off with this king in a few days." "It is like being driven by the saddle horse of the king of Xia."

"This king is now employing people, if there are talented people, you can recommend one or two." "It's nature. It's just that the talented people in the Han family are all Confucianists, I wonder if King Xia is willing? ”。“ Haha, if a Confucian student goes to a bitter cold place to teach, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult, and this king will also behead him." "Oh, so, I know how to do it." "Xia Guo's current book of conduct, Changqing should learn more. Don't make jokes". "Well, it's nature". Before the words were finished, the guards hurriedly came to report: "My lord, the Xiongnu Yizhi slanted a single day, crossed the desert a few days ago, and invaded many cities on the banks of the Yellow River in the Xia Kingdom three days ago. The Minister of State asks the king to show me." "Rabbit cub, how dare you be so bold. Quickly go to pass the order, and order the minister of the country to gather troops and the east bank of the Yellow River. Someone wants to kill it and then hurry up". Turning to Sima Xiangru, he said, "The soldiers are urgent, and I ask Changqing to clean up and go to Xia Gu on his own." The king will immediately set out for the summer." "In this way, King Xia should focus on the overall situation and retire as well." "Changqing walks slowly, and people come to see off guests."

Ouyang Xuan hurriedly dressed neatly and entered the palace to meet Liu Qi and resign.

"Your Majesty, now that the Huns have taken advantage of the king's entry into the dynasty to attack the border passes, please resign and return to Shiping to the border troubles." "Oh, that's fine, I can't help each other, King Xia has a lot to do."

"Please keep your Majesty's promise and strictly prevent the generals of the court from provoking the Hanxia border affairs. embarrass the ministers". "It's nature. Please rest assured that King Xia will move forward." The two monarchs and ministers were talking here, but they didn't know that there was still one person outside the palace, who was complacent.

After finishing his resignation with Liu Qi, he took his own soldiers and guards, beat the horse and went straight to Chen Cang. The first general held a spear in his hand, pointed at Ouyang Xuan and said, "Ouyang Xiao'er, stay your life."
