After October, the heavy snow slowly came, and the first snow fell very quickly and heavily. According to the thickness of the current heavy snow, it can be called a disaster in the future, but in this era, although the snow outside is already half a meter thick, for the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, as long as the house does not collapse and the weather is not a huge cold, it is not a big problem. The warm winter at the junction of the fourth and fifth years of Emperor Jingdi led to the coming of this blizzard. Waiting for the snow to stop, Ouyang Xuan sent a letter to the imperial court, asking for food aid to the Huns, through the wind and the high cold after the snow, it is conceivable that the north and south of the desert must be a white disaster.

At the beginning of the spring season, after going out for half a year, Zhushan finally came back, "Back to the prince, a certain to find out that the Shandong clan has the intention of kidnapping the princess of Ningling to threaten the prince, and has now been punished by the Taishou Zhi according to the law of the nine clans, and his subordinate guest Han Wubi, Xue Jing, Han Ru, etc. have all fled, and Zhi Taishou is still in pursuit."

"It doesn't seem that things are going to be so simple, how can a little ranger family make such wild words? actually wants to kidnap the princess and blackmail Benhou, there must be something strange in this. You go to find out the cause of King Liang Huai's fall from his horse and the secret friendship between the Liang clan and King Liang Huai."

"Junhou, this is a matter of the past, and this matter still involves the king, and it is not good for the prince to investigate deeply."

"Thou shalt search, with or without results." Ouyang Xuan felt more and more helpless, he seemed to be trapped in a big cage, and he couldn't get out, Liu Qi's order to patrol the border was not issued for some reason, but a letter came two days ago because there was no war for the time being, Ouyang Xuan was dismissed from the post of general of the chariot and cavalry, and the government and his own soldiers were handed over to the lieutenant, and only Ouyang Xuan was allowed to deploy a thousand people.

Winter goes to spring, Ouyang Xuan's wedding also came as scheduled, because Ouyang Xuan rarely interacted with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, few people came to the wedding except Wei Juan. The wedding is very simple, according to the etiquette system, although she is marrying a princess, but after all, she is the queen's daughter, there is not such a big pomp, Ouyang Xuan can't be like the husbands of other princesses, he can only be Shang, but he can't marry. Until the day of the wedding, Ouyang Xuan saw Gongliangshu, who had not been seen for more than a year, as the adoptive father of Princess Ningling, he sat in the guest position, and the wedding was organized by Nie Ping*. There is not too much luxury, no noise, no playfulness, but in a respectful and solemn atmosphere, the procedures of marrying, eating together, drinking together, and burning the table are completed, and it is only a short day to end. The newlywed is no stranger to Ouyang Xuan, and he is familiar with a series of procedures.

In the morning, he and Liu Hui came to the altar built by the order to worship King Liang Huai, and came to the guest room to say goodbye to Gongliangshu, "Gonglianggong, this farewell, it has been more than a year, I have not seen it, and when I came back, I was already a woman." Can you tell us the reason for this? ”

"The prince still doesn't know it, there are too many cumbersome deliveries. When a certain person is gone, it is in the prince's way."

"It doesn't matter, when I'm afraid of complicated things, just come."

"Don't be in a hurry, when the time comes, a certain self-confessor will tell him about this. The prince only needs to know that Momen and the prince only have help, and it will not be harmful. Jun Shangyuan suspected the monarch and marquis, and now he is the cornerstone of the pillar. It's just trapped in the views of a hundred schools, and can't trust the monarch. As for the matter of the king, the prince should not ask about it. As long as the emperor is too fond of the king, the final outcome will be miserable. That's how it is."

"Oh, that's right. We will inform you at a later date at your convenience."

"Father-in-law, the little daughter has been raised for many years. I can't repay it, and I ask my father to live in the house often. Let women enter the righteousness of filial piety".

"Haha, okay, Dad. There are women like you, and fathers are enough."

said goodbye to Gongliang Shu, and went to Changle Palace to visit Queen Bo. Through the long palace corridor bypassing the fairy hall, behind is many palaces, Jiaofang Hall is the most magnificent of them, due to the death of the Empress Dowager Bo, Queen Bo lost power, the palace is somewhat defeated. The barren grass proves how unwilling the owner is. Queen Bo can't be regarded as the best beauty, her appearance is average, her temperament is elegant, and her simple makeup and appearance are not unworldly.

Ouyang Xuan and his wife sat down in the hall after paying a visit according to the ritual system. "Queen Mother, my father does not come to the palace all the year round, so it is better to ask for an order and often go to the Hou Mansion to live." Liu Hui said softly.

"Forget it, the queen mother doesn't have that kind of thought. Although there is nothing to do in this temple, it is also at ease, and there are not so many troubles."

"Queen, the minister thinks that what Hui'er said is reasonable, although the minister has no position and no power in the court, it is not something that others can teach. This palace has been in arrears for a long time, and the minister thought that he could ask for a decree to go to the Hou Mansion to live. It is also convenient for ministers and Hui'er to enter filial piety."

"Forget it, you guys go back first. After going to the Queen Mother's meeting, let's go back to the fiefdom. What happens in the future, don't worry about it."

Since the queen said so, she could only exit the hall and turn her head to see the Empress Dowager Dou. Since Ouyang Xuan cured his eye disease, he now has to study books with the palace every day, drink tea and listen to music, and purify his heart and nourish his qi. Today, the eldest princess Liu Concubine is also there, talking and laughing with the Queen Mother. Seeing Ouyang Xuan coming in, he only nodded slightly, "Come on, give a seat to the husband and wife."

"Xie, Queen Mother. Xuan came only to worship him this time, and there was no him." After Ouyang Xuan and Liu Hui sat down, they said slowly.

"I know the meaning of your entry into the palace. It's just that the old body has a word first, and he waited for the last time Tu Ru's murderous aura was too heavy. In order to appease the anger of the public, the post of general was temporarily dismissed. Go back to live and recuperate, and don't have another incident." "Commanded by the minister".

"I heard that Hu Hou took care of the emperor's body. If there is any home remedies, can you leak them to this palace?"

"It's all a little trick, which makes the eldest princess smile. If you have any illness, you can go to the hospital for treatment, and you should be a personal doctor."

"Just do your duty, and don't go beyond it. Let's go down", Empress Dowager Dou issued an order to expel the guests.

After returning to the fiefdom, Ouyang Xuan lost his official position and devoted himself more wholeheartedly to teaching and research and development. Due to the weak high temperature resistance of shellac, electricity cannot be used on a large scale, nor can it be used as a high-temperature sealing material. Several steam engines were made with lathes and alloy steel, all of which were poor in terms of sealing. After many explorations, a substance similar to rubber was obtained after vulcanization with lac and high-temperature treatment with the residue of petroleum to refine gasoline, and the sealing and insulation properties were good. Since the craftsmen learned to use electricity, under the guidance of Ouyang Xuan, a welding machine and welding rod have also been made, and the effect is quite good.

In terms of science and technology, Ouyang Xuan has a unique advantage, and this advantage is transformed into productivity, which is a substantial improvement in agricultural tools, and iron agricultural tools are deeply rooted in the homes of the people in the fiefdom. The use of electricity has also gradually penetrated into the fiefdom, and due to the improvement of shellac, electricity has been pumped for irrigation, and tap water has penetrated into every household. Nothing outside seems to have anything to do with Ouyang Xuan, whether it is the princess and relatives, or the abolition of the crown prince, it has nothing to do with Ouyang Xuan.

In a hurry, it was another five years, and in the blink of an eye, it was February of the second year of Emperor Jingdi (148 BC), over the years, Ouyang Xuan was almost forgotten, except for openly taking over the Empress Bo to live in the Hou Mansion, causing the government and the opposition to shake up and down, other times people have forgotten about this Hou, and some new officials who returned to Beijing from other places did not know that there was such a person.

When I got up in the morning, I tucked the quilt for Liu Hui, who was still asleep, and went out to exercise as usual. The white wolf brothers and sisters are already very strong, they get up early to exercise with Ouyang Xuan every day, if they can't see Ouyang Xuan one day, the two guys will always be restless, they used to be able to play and frolic with the concubine and the main father, but now the two of them are also big girls, and they are a lot more reserved, and the concubine learns medical skills in the medical hall every day. The main father, Yeon, also studied textile technology with students from other colleges.

As soon as I went out, I saw Nie Xuan standing in the courtyard, "Prince, Your Majesty has a messenger, and now he is in the living room", seeing Ouyang Xuan going downstairs, he stepped forward and said.

"What is the urgency when the sun comes before sunrise? Have you ever asked? ”。

"A few days ago, King Zuoxian of the Huns entered Yan and plundered countless people. His Majesty's envoy has come to deliver the decree, and I am afraid that he will have a new life."

It was none other than Tian Wei, the younger brother of the current queen who Ouyang Xuan didn't want to see the most, and when he saw Ouyang Xuan enter the door, he stood upright, bowed his hand and said, "Zhonglang General Wei has seen Hu Hou." "What is Your Majesty's will, come quickly", Ouyang Xuan said impatiently.

"Wait for Ouyang Shixuan to receive the order", said Tian Wei and pulled out the yellow satin edict from his sleeve pocket. Ouyang Xuan bowed down and listened to Tian Wei's decree a few days ago.

"Pardon the order of the Han Emperor, and the edict said: Now the Xiongnu have invaded the border, and the people will not be at peace. The generals at the border gates can't drive them away, and the good generals who quell the chaos are old and can't fight. Yafu was transferred to his post and was not allowed to lead troops. He was specially ordered to wait for Ouyang Shixuan's resumption of the cavalry general, led the general Yulin, and led the Yulin army to attack the Xiongnu to pacify the border troubles from now on. Live up to the emperor's mandate. Chin this. February 2nd day of the year of the Emperor". After Tian Wei finished reading his will, he handed over the silk silk and the tiger talisman to Ouyang Xuan.

"Congratulations to Hu Hou, the first person to be promoted to the military position." "Abolishing the establishment is not a word of Your Majesty. Please return to Your Majesty Hou Wu'an, Xuan will prepare for one day, and tomorrow he will be able to pay homage to the general." "Okay, I'll get back. The will of the prince and the prince to accept it, and the lower officials will retire". After saying that, he bowed his hand, went out of the door, and left angrily. "Dogs fighting human power", Ouyang Xuan blurted out, and he didn't know if Tian Wei heard it.

Since you are going to go on the expedition, you naturally have to prepare. Thousands of guards Ouyang Xuan were all taken away, and the guards of the Zhuang Courtyard were taken over by the domestic servants in training, and the master father Hong was in charge. Teaching matters are left to the students to take care of, Ouyang Xuan did not recruit any more students, it is still the original 200 people, five years of study, can already be independent, there are more than 30 students with the potential of scientists, like to explore unknown things, is already the main force in the research and development in the workshop. The gunpowder brought 5,000 catties, and the small 60 cannon developed carried 50 units and 1,000 shells. The current guards are all equipped with semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and sabers, and each of the Dawan Liangju has two horses. explained some matters related to Nie Hire, in the past five years, Ouyang Xuan has been in the fiefdom of Chang'an, but secretly transferred the ironware, porcelain, and glass workshops to the Dongou Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River to prevent changes.

Took the tiger talisman to the Yulin military camp and the newly appointed lieutenant Zhi handed over the military power, gathered in the general hall, and announced the order to go out. Ouyang Xuan didn't have much confidence in the current Yulin Army, after all, he hadn't managed this glorious army for five years, and he went to the school to randomly inspect the training of thousands of soldiers, which was obviously much worse. Both physical fitness and individual skills have declined to a great extent, and the officers are now relatives of some princes and nobles. Ouyang Xuan was so angry that he beheaded four captains and arrested more than 500 lazy officers, planning to worship the generals and sacrifice the flag tomorrow. Zhi Du looked at this general who was even more ruthless than himself, and trembled. None of these officers have a strong force behind them, and this is a bit too ruthless to kill and arrest.

Now that he has established his authority, Ouyang Xuan doesn't care too much, and appoints the officers who originally followed him to fill the vacancies one by one. Lang Shou and Zhang Jian have released the Minister of State and Taishou, and now the Yulin Army is taken care of by the captains. Now it is too late to ask for the appointment of a deputy general, and we have no choice but to promote and appoint them in actual combat.

The next day, the ceremony was even more solemn than the last time, this time the officials of the six hundred stones and the princes in Beijing were all present, and the difference from the last ceremony was that this time there was a more flag sacrifice ceremony. After receiving the scepter from Liu Qi's hand, Ouyang Xuan shouted for his life: "The minister inspected the Yulin barracks with the tiger talisman yesterday and found people who were negligent in forging training. "I heard about this, but these people are all relatives of the DPRK and China, and I hope that the general's subordinates will show mercy."

"Your Majesty, if the army is not trained, it cannot fight. If you don't stand up, what will you do? ”。

"This, this, this, that. According to the general's wishes, he prepared for the flag sacrifice ceremony."

Five hundred former Yulin officers were pressed onto a makeshift altar, and 50,000 Yulin troops stood in front of the stage. Ouyang Xuan personally came to the stage, raised his sword and shouted: "What a glory the Yulin Army was, it had made great achievements in the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms and exalted the kings. A single rider can defeat five people, and now these feather forest moths have destroyed the rules and slackened training, resulting in a sharp decrease in the combat strength of the Yulin army, which is not as good as a battle, and the crime is unforgivable. Today's army is about to set out, and the disaster is here to sacrifice the flag. I hope that you will be trained in the march and according to the law." After speaking, he walked up to a bound officer, and without asking his name, he raised his meteoric iron sword high and slashed it hard, causing the head to roll off and blood splattered ten steps. Although these people were still lucky when they were arrested, they were extremely arrogant and arrogant. Until he was pressed onto the altar, he also spoke wildly, insulting Ouyang Xuan. It wasn't until the first human head hit the ground that I remembered to beg for mercy. But it was too late, Ouyang Xuan slashed down with a sword, and the heads rolled down one by one, and in the end, before Ouyang Xuan could make a move, they were already scared to death on the altar.

The princes and nobles in the audience were all terrified, and they always thought that Ouyang Xuan was hidden in the fiefdom and had lost his sharpness. Now it seems that not only has the sharpness not dissipated, but has become more intense. At one time, he personally beheaded 500 officers who had all kinds of connections with the princes of the DPRK and China, completely ruining the plan of these people to infiltrate the Yulin Army, and now these people hate the Huns extremely much, but at this time, they committed a large-scale offense, so that their plan was completely defeated.

Those original Yulin soldiers who had been suppressed for a long time were now raising their eyebrows and admiring Ouyang Xuan. Ouyang Xuan returned to the altar and bid farewell to Liu Qi. With a wave of the flag, the army marched east and began a difficult journey.
