    Winter comes and summer comes, and another year comes in a hurry.

    On Longshouyuan, Daxing City, which is approaching evening, is bathed in the glow of the setting sun and looks particularly colorful.

    At this time, the city gate will be closed, there will be few people around, and the prosperous age that has been noisy for a day will also calm down.  The sound of horse hooves coming from the south passed by lightly, breaking the tranquility of the evening.

    Outside Tonghua Gate, Huang Mingyuan reined in the galloping horse and breathed a sigh of relief.  It¡¯s been a long journey, day and night, and finally I¡¯m back.  I haven¡¯t been to Chang¡¯an for two years, but the scenery of Chang¡¯an remains the same.

    It is February at this time, the ice and snow have not yet melted, the spring is cold and the young people are freezing.  It's just that Huang Mingyuan was worried about the Northern Expedition, so as soon as the heavy snowfall in Fengzhou stopped for days, he didn't have time to wait for the spring to bloom, so he hurriedly came to Chang'an.

    "Enter the city!"

    Xiongkuohai stepped forward and showed Huang Mingyuan's official seal to the city guards, and the large group of people followed Huang Mingyuan straight into the city.

    After entering the city, it was already very late. Huang Mingyuan ordered Xiong Kuohai to take all the generals back to his house to settle down, while he went to the Ministry of Personnel in person to report his identity.

    When Huang Mingyuan entered the Suzaku Gate with a golden sword, the general guarding the gate was the gatekeeper two years ago.  When he saw Huang Mingyuan was shocked, he couldn't stop muttering in his heart.  It was also in the evening two years ago that Huang Mingyuan, dressed in blood, hurriedly arrived in Beijing and knelt in front of Guangyang Gate, which changed the color of the entire Sui Dynasty.  Huang Mingyuan's destructive power is so great, and it is here again today, how can this general not be surprised?

    Huang Mingyuan no longer recognized him, let alone what the other party was saying, so he asked a servant to come forward and show him the official seal, and went straight into the imperial city.

    At this time, all government offices have gone off duty, and apart from the personnel on duty and patrol, there are not many people in the imperial city.  In fact, it is appropriate for Huang Mingyuan to come here tomorrow, but he puts business before private affairs, and Huang Mingyuan does not want to give people a reason to talk.

    Huang Mingyuan entered the staff department, went through the work reporting procedures according to the procedures, and left.  Although he was a foreign official, given Huang Mingyuan's status and his illustrious reputation, no unscrupulous subordinates dared to take advantage of him.

    Today, it was Huang Mingyuan's father-in-law Pei Ju who was on duty at the Ministry of Personnel. Hearing that Huang Mingyuan had come to the Ministry of Personnel, he hurried over to talk.

    "I have met my father-in-law."

    Huang Mingyuan saw Pei Ju and quickly bowed.  As the prime minister, Pei Ju was mainly on duty in the Zhongshu Province. Under normal circumstances, he did not need to be on duty in the Ministry of Personnel.

    "Changping has arrived. I think it will only take two days, and I am preparing to send someone to your house to inquire."

    Pei Ju is as kind as before, making people feel like a spring breeze.

    "My father-in-law is worried about me!"

    After all, the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is unusual, and Pei Ju does not need to show off in front of his son-in-law.  After hearing the reason for Huang Mingyuan's return to the capital to report on his duties, Pei Ju said with some worry: "Since your last letter saying that you were coming to the capital to meet the saint and requesting troops to attack the Turks in the north, I have been worried. I also went there several times in the early years.  The Turks can be considered to understand the situation in Mobei. The Turks are huge beasts, with hundreds of thousands of armored men, and should not be underestimated. Although the Turks have been weak in the past two years, the centipede has not died. It is still the overlord of the grassland and has strong strength.  . Although the Northern Expedition to Mobei is glorious, no one has done it for five hundred years since Wei Huo and Dou Xian of the Han Dynasty. The journey is extremely dangerous, are you sure?"

    Pei Ju was very worried that Huang Mingyuan had lost his normalcy because of his repeated victories.  He does not have a strong family background to rely on. If he is overly arrogant and acts recklessly, he may be in danger.

    "Father-in-law, please don't worry. The Northern Expedition is not a whim of Mingyuan. It is actually the product of long-term thinking and preparation. Now Mingyuan is fully prepared for the Northern Expedition. Now that the Turks are divided, it is the final step to eliminate this powerful enemy in one fell swoop.  good time."

    Although Huang Mingyuan's words were conclusive, Pei Ju was not optimistic about his son-in-law's trip.  In his opinion, although Huang Mingyuan is capable, he is a young man with a lot of energy and has never suffered any setbacks. He is naturally fearless, so it is easy for him to make a big mistake.  If it is not possible, Pei Ju really doesn't want Huang Mingyuan to take this risk. With his current identity and status, he will be safe and sound. When Yang Guang takes the throne and Yang Su dies, Huang Mingyuan will be the number one person in the military. There is really no need for it.  So eager for quick success.

    It¡¯s a pity that Huang Mingyuan is not an affiliate of the Pei family, and Pei Ju cannot interfere with Huang Mingyuan¡¯s actions.

    Pei Ju also knew that Huang Mingyuan could not be persuaded, so he had to say: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you, but you must be mentally prepared. This matter will not be passed easily. Although once this matter is successful, it will definitely benefit the country."  , but the risk is also high. Above the imperial court, there are all old foxes who do not seek merit, but seek no fault. Not many people dare to take such a risk. Moreover, the saint has been very different from before in the past two years, and he may not necessarily  Agree with your plan."

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s faceHowever, he also knew how strong the resistance of the Northern Expedition to the Turks was, otherwise Huang Mingyang would not have returned to Chang'an from the Fengzhou front line all the way at this critical moment of preparation for the war.

    Since Queen Dugu died, Yang Jian seemed to have lost all his ambitions.  Yang Jian, who originally advocated frugality, diligence and caring for the people, has turned into a person who is arrogant and extravagant and punishes harshly; the noble Chen family is good at pampering and is in charge of the harem; he builds palaces and carries out large-scale construction; there is serious strife within the court, and the entire Sui Dynasty has become  A smoky atmosphere.

    Huang Mingyuan bowed and said: "Ming Yuan came here because he hopes to persuade the saint. Above the imperial court, I also ask my father-in-law to make more changes."

    This kind of political attitude is too involved, and Huang Mingyuan cannot ask Pei Ju to stand on the same line as him.

    Pei Ju did not refuse. After all, he was Huang Mingyuan's father-in-law. The two of them were so deeply involved that they could not stay out of the matter just by being sensible. So he said, "Don't worry too much. After all, the imperial court has won several great victories in the past few years.  The military morale and the morale of the people have been greatly inspired. Now that the prince in the court supports you, plus me and Su Wei, you are not bad at all. But I think it will be difficult for Liu Shu and Yuan Yan to support you. If the saint doesn't  Nodding will only lead to a farce of disputes. So I advise Chang Ping to start with the saints. The saints are the key to deciding whether this matter can be done."

    Huang Mingyuan was a little surprised. If Liu Shu had the support of the emperor, he might not be able to compete with Yang Guang.

    "My father-in-law, has the power of Liu Shu and others developed to this extent? After all, the prince has returned from the Northern Expedition and is so popular in the world that even the emperor may not be able to completely suppress him."

    Pei Ju said with a helpless look: "What would the saint not do to restrain the prince? Besides, you are the prince, so there is no guarantee that the saint will not get angry and veto the matter."

    Huang Mingyuan had a sullen face. Although he knew that the Northern Expedition would not be easy, he always felt that it would not hurt to have the support of Yang Guang, who was very happy with his success.  I just didn't expect that the struggle within the court would be so fierce, beyond my imagination.

    "If the trip cannot be made this year, and Yang Jian dies next year, and then Yang Liang's rebellion and war sweep across the north, the Northern Expedition may not be possible within three or four years. By then, the Turks will have slowed down, and there will be no need to talk about the Northern Expedition.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
