Chapter Seventy-Nine: State and Family Affairs
85_85249After presiding over Ouyang Dan's funeral and Ouyang Duo's succession ceremony, Ouyang Xuan had a long talk with Ouyang Duo for three days before he took Uncle Xuan and Ouyang Gui back to Dawan Palace with confidence. At the beginning of his tenure, Ouyang Duo began drastic reforms, changing the original system of three provinces, six ministries and one chamber to one government, four courts and nine ministries, and changing the original Shangshu Province into a state government, with one prime minister and two squires, who were responsible for the implementation of the edicts of the emperor and the parliamentary court, and led the national government affairs; The Privy Council was established, which was responsible for reviewing and issuing the emperor's edicts, the resolutions of the Parliamentary Council and the regulations of various ministries, and performing the functions of the original Zhongshu Province. The province was changed into a supervisory yuan, with one supervisor and five supervisors, who were responsible for supervising the implementation of the emperor's edict and the resolutions of the parliamentary council of various ministries, and set up an anti-corruption bureau. On the basis of the original six ministries, the household ministry was split into the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of the Interior; The Criminal Department was split into the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Education was newly established to be responsible for the management of education throughout the country. The military department was abolished, and the Military and Political Yuan was established, with one general and ten generals, to oversee the country's soldiers, horses, and defense, and the Military and Political Yuan only obeyed the orders of the Emperor Taishang and the current emperor. On the basis of the original land policy and tax policy, the military tax system will be implemented, and family taxes will be appropriately reduced or exempted according to the situation of military service. At the same time, it also set up a craftsman technology bureau under the Ministry of Industry, promulgated the craftsman technology law, rewarded social science and technology reform, and was responsible for the registration and trading of science and technology patents.
This series of reform measures has set off a new wave in various parts of China, which has made people feel refreshed. The same drought caused little in China, crisscrossing the canals effectively alleviating the drought in the Hetao Plain, and the flood situation of the Yellow River was also dissipated by the dense network of reservoirs and dams. Because of the improvement of water conservancy projects, the floods in the south hardly caused a wave, but became a paradise for people to fish and fish. This is related to the flood prevention and drought control measures implemented by Ouyang Xuan at the beginning, there will be one or more reservoirs around each village and town, which are used to dredge rivers for drinking water irrigation in normal times, and are used to regulate floods during drought and flood periods, forming a set of effective mechanisms in China.
Ouyang Xuan in Dawan Palace looked at the information of the Han land transferred by Zhong Zhao, and was very sad, now the Han land is starving all over the field, the military disasters are repeated, the wheel of history is still running strongly, the Red Mei Army and the Green Forest Army have successively raised troops to fight against the reckless, Liu Xiu is also secretly contacting Haojie, making preparations for the incident. The number of Han Chinese who fled to China through various passes has reached a million, and they have all been properly settled in various parts of China.
After reading the letter, Ouyang Xuan ordered that the Huaxia Army stationed in Chencang and Gaoping enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to attack Guanzhong at any time; Zhong Zhao was ordered to contact the Huaxia Army stationed in Jiangxia to support Liu Xiu's uprising at any time. After Ouyang Xuan gave the order, he prepared to leave for South Taihang. Ouyang Gui, who is now a fifteen-year-old girl, saw that Ouyang Xuan was leaving, and took Ouyang Xuan's arm and said in a coquettish voice: "Can my father take Brother Yan with him on this expedition?" ”
"Oh? This is a little inappropriate, now Yan'er is also a tiger general under Duo'er, I am recruiting him, I am afraid that I am suspected of taking love. If it weren't for your fate, I really wanted to be included in Yulin's command, since I was appointed as the commander of the Dan'er Flying Tiger Army, I would work hard there, and when the time came, it would not be too late to make meritorious contributions to the battle. In a few days, I will return to the capital with your mother."
"Okay, it's up to my father's arrangement," Ouyang Gui said with a pout. "When I arrived in the capital, I studied hard. If you don't get into the university, I will not allow you to eat for three days." Before Ouyang Xuan's words were finished, the little guy had long since disappeared, and the unique kung fu taught by Uncle Xuan since he was a child was swift.
Ouyang Xuan also shook his head helplessly, this girl let herself be a little uncomfortable. Ouyang Duo is most afraid of this girl returning to Beijing, as long as he returns to Beijing, the quasi-security will make the quiet palace jump, or else he will take Ouyang Duo in civilian clothes and wander between Huaxia University and various schools in Xia Gu to find a queen for Ouyang Duo. When Ouyang Gui and Tai Shuxuan appeared at the gate of Xia Gu Palace, the first thing Ouyang Duo did was to hide in the State Mansion and inform Zhao Yan that except for officials at all levels, the rest would not be seen.
Naturally, the entire palace has become Ouyang Gui's world, with the white wolf and the Phoenix Emperor looking for Ouyang Duo everywhere in the palace, the entire palace except for the Flying Tiger Army is the Yulin female soldiers and all kinds of miscellaneous servants, because Ouyang Xuan abolished the Yellow Gate system, and also abolished the three palaces and six courts, stipulating that the emperor is only allowed to marry one wife, so the palace has always been very clean, and adult married princes have to move out of the palace. He was often teased by Ouyang Gui and the White Wolf Phoenix Emperor, but he never went too far, and the most serious thing was to take Buick and Gu Li to threaten the imperial chef to hand over the freshly roasted venison. Ouyang Xuan also let this go, as long as there is no bullying happening, Ouyang Xuan will turn a blind eye. For Ouyang Duo's marriage, Ouyang Xuan really thought about it seriously, and finally chose Uncle Xuan's distant niece, who is now studying at Huaxia University, so he let Ouyang Gui take Ouyang Duo around various universities, if there is a fate, they will meet, if not, they will go with him.
It's really hard to say about fate, just when Ouyang Gui didn't find Ouyang Duo for a few days, he didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he had to pull Uncle Xuan to go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to see his uncle and aunt, and just after leaving the palace gate, he happened to bump into Ouyang Duo's frame from the Privy Council and returned to the Mansion, Ouyang Duo didn't even have a chance to hide, so he was pulled by Ouyang Gui and went straight to the Eldest Princess's Mansion. According to the seniority, Ouyang Qian should be Ouyang Duo's aunt, and Ouyang Gui wants to be older than Ouyang Duo for several generations, because Zong Zhengsi has never agreed to the matter of succession, so Ouyang Duo is still the original generational theory.
Ouyang Duo had thought of various reasons to shirk it, but he was not Ouyang Gui's opponent in terms of fist and foot kung fu and lip kung fu. had to hand over the book to Zhao Yan, order him to hand it over to Tang De, and follow Ouyang Gui to drive to the eldest princess's mansion. If you ask who has the most power in Huaxia, the officials and parliamentarians in the court all know that it is this eldest princess Hutu, and the current emperor and the Taishang Holy Emperor are very kind to this eldest princess, as long as she wants the two most powerful people today, they will do their best, and before they reach the age of going to the fiefdom, they already have two mansions in the capital and Hutu County.
When Ouyang Gui escorted Ouyang Duo to the eldest princess's mansion, he was just in time for Uncle Xuan's niece to visit his uncle in the mansion, maybe this is fate, at the dinner, Ouyang Duo and Uncle Xuan's niece chatted very speculatively, and they talked about everything. Uncle Tai Yan and Ouyang Duo are the same age, and they are not very outstanding in appearance, but they are dignified and elegant, and their manners are significantly graceful and luxurious, because the Uncle Tai family pays attention to knowledge and has always maintained a low profile in Huaxia, so few people know what the queen mother's family is, and even some new officials don't know that the eldest princess is a marquis, let alone the brother of the current queen mother, which is also an important reason why Ouyang Xuan chose Uncle Tai Yan as the queen.
Seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing there, and heard from the conversation that the two of them were going to compete in painting, Tai Shuxuan was very pleased, and he admired Ouyang Xuan even more. Pulling Ouyang Gui over and signaling with his eyes, smart people don't need too many words to communicate, and they immediately understand what they mean. got up and walked to Ouyang Duo's side, and also joined in, whispering in the ears of the two people from time to time. Because it was a family banquet, there were not so many rules, and before the dinner was over, the two of them were dragged to the garden by Ouyang Gui.
"Sister, could it be that the Holy Emperor intends to let Yan'er enter the harem", Tai Shuyuan said as he looked at the backs of the three of them leaving.
"What my brother said is exactly what the Holy Emperor meant, and Premier Tang has also taken the school to Yan'er, thinking that Yan'er is the best candidate for the harem. Zeng Yanshu and His Majesty, the rest depends on the marriage between the two. Today, Gui'er came to visit her brother and sister-in-law at home on a whim, but she never thought that she would meet Duo'er on the road, and she met Yan'er here, this is fate." Uncle Tai Xuan ate a piece of barbecue and said.
"Sister, you think you are the queen mother. If Yan'er is in the harem, has the Holy Emperor ever thought about his relatives? ”。
"My brother is too worried, as long as our family does not enter the court as officials, abides by the law in the local area, and abides by the way of serving the people, we can be safe."
"Yuan'er, you can relax in this matter, and I will repair the book and set a family motto with each family later", Uncle Tai, who had not spoken, said slowly. Uncle Tai, who is already eighty years old, is still strong and strong, and under Ouyang Xuan's careful care, he has mastered a set of Taijiquan martial arts. It was precisely out of trust in Uncle Tai that Ouyang Xuan chose Uncle Tai Yan as the queen's candidate.
Half a year later, the news of the emperor's wedding spread all over China and the surrounding countries, all kinds of congratulatory gifts have flocked to the capital through the developed transportation network of Huaxia China, and the congratulatory gifts of various states and counties are just local specialties, but the congratulatory gifts sent by the rest country, the Roman state, the Xiongnu, and the kingdom of Satavarna (South India) are not simple, they are all extremely valuable gifts purchased by the country, especially the galloping horse sculpture made of 500 catties of gold sent by the Roman emperor Tiberius is the most valuable. This sculpture has been kept in the Huaxia Imperial Palace, and more than 2,000 years later, it was collected by the National Museum, causing a lot of vibrations in European countries.
Ouyang Xuan, who was far away in Nantaihang, heard the news of the emperor's wedding, and a hanging heart finally landed, and he believed that the Taishu clan would have a correct choice. Just when people were talking about the queen's mysterious family background, Ouyang Xuan's congratulatory gifts also came, a mountain ornament carved from a person's high hail energy body and a picture of the mountains and rivers of China carved from a huge Hetian white jade. The two congratulatory gifts also caused a national uproar, not to mention that the shimmering blue ornaments were enough to make the eyes of jewelry connoisseurs a little insufficient, let alone such a huge white jade that had never been heard of for a long time. These two items were also collected by later museums, but because the material of the graupel body was not owned by the earth, it also caused a lot of doubts about Ouyang Xuan.
Of course, as a matchmaker, Ouyang Gui's reward must not be described as rich, on the basis of the original fief, Ouyang Duo gave Tiancheng County to Ouyang Gui. But this is not what Ouyang Gui wants, he looks down on money, he originally wanted Ouyang Duo to use the emperor's special recruitment authority to get himself a place to enter Huaxia University without examination, but he was rejected by the old president Bai Yang's descendant Bai Yang. Ouyang Gui had to take the White Wolf Phoenix Emperor and the children of the nobles to carry out the entrance education together. Ouyang Duo had to use the reward fief as compensation for Ouyang Gui, and he had no choice, Ouyang Xuan decided when he formulated the cultural reform that the government should not interfere in education except for paying all kinds of government-run school funds according to the law and mobilizing the whole people to receive education. It is precisely because of education that there has been a thousand-year leap in science and technology, art, and the guidance of Ouyang Xuan that Chinese culture has presented a thriving scene. Because of Ouyang Xuan's childhood experience, he pays special attention to educational fairness, and both rich and poor have the same right to education. There is no privilege in re-education, even if Ouyang Xuan comes forward, Ouyang Duo's situation will also happen.
At the same time of the development of culture in China, the style of martial arts is also prevalent, because military service has preferential treatment since the founding of the country, so adult men have been proud of killing the enemy, twice a year in spring and autumn, military training, almost become a man's festival, riding horse archery, wrestling and fighting, running and jumping and other competitive events, the record has been refreshed every year, almost the state of the whole people are soldiers. Military skills in schools have been compulsory for men since the beginning of the country. According to the statistics of the original Ministry of War, if a foreign war breaks out in China, the total number of available soldiers is 80 million. It is precisely because of this that the Huns, who had defeated the Slavs and occupied Eastern Europe, never dared to approach the ten-mile buffer zone of the Great Wall, and the Anxi Empire and the Roman Empire, under the threat of the Chinese garrison, willingly surrendered and called the ministers to pay tribute. Because of Ouyang Xuan's birth and occupation of northern India and Central Asia, the original European ethnic migration changed its route and destination, isolating South India from Europe, and preserving the Indian civilization from being invaded.
Ouyang Xuan, who enjoyed the scenery in the deep mountains and valleys of Taihang Mountain, was now also full of thoughts, if it weren't for repaying Liu Qi's kindness and commitment to Liu Che, Ouyang Xuan would have been able to classify the Han land as Huaxia a long time ago, and the people of the Han region today are not happy, which also makes Ouyang Xuan worried, if he sends troops to obtain the Han land now, it is not easy to explain Liu Qi's spirit in the sky, but if he assists Liu Xiu to easily win the world, I am afraid that because the foundation is too shallow and the regime is unstable, the Han land will still fall into turmoil. Ouyang Xuan waited a little longer, waiting for Liu Xiu to rely on his own ability to win a place, and then send troops to capture Guanzhong, as for Wang Mang, Ouyang Xuan didn't want him to die so inexplicably. The reason why I chose here to assist Liu Xiu is because the famous battle of winning more with less is also a battle that changed Wang Mang's fate, and it is also a battle for Liu Xiu's fame. Now Zhong Zhao has become a capable general under Liu Xiu, and is recruiting troops and buying weapons for Liu Xiu's uprising. Of course, except for the soldiers, the others were provided by the Southern Army stationed in Jiangxia, and Liu Xiu's crotch was no longer the scalper in history, but a handsome sweaty BMW. Ouyang Xuan had been waiting, waiting for that moment to come
