    The chaos in the south of the Yangtze River swept away the gloom that had gripped the court in recent months, so Yang Guang decided to hold a grand banquet in the palace to celebrate the incident.

    When he was in Luoyang, Huang Mingyuan was very strict and always used the rebellion to restrain Yang Guang, so Yang Guang couldn't be so happy for a long time.

    During the day, the streets are filled with performances of various operas. At night, Luoyang City becomes even more lively.

    The banquet was held outside the palace on the side of the green pond in Fanghua Garden. Yang Guang ordered people to set up ten "volcanoes" around them, burning agarwood. Each "volcano" would consume several carts of agarwood.  Because armor was added to the fire, the light from the bonfire was as brilliant as glass.

    After burning agarwood and Jia Jian, they emit a strange aroma that can be smelled dozens of miles away in Dongdu.  People are all immersed in this fragrance for a while.

    Yang Guang also ordered one hundred and twenty huge pearls to be hung around the palace. The light emitted by these pearls illuminated the palace like daylight.

    ??Everyone is immersed in it, and they are as crazy as drunk.

    Looking at this colorful and colorful scene, Huang Mingyuan kept shaking his head.  Is Yang Guang going crazy because of the repression these days? Such a scene is really too luxurious.

    After Huang Mingyuan brought his second son Wei Lie to the banquet, he found a remote corner to sit down.  Over the years, everyone in the court has been aware of Huang Mingyuan's habits. In previous years, there were still people who tried to get close to Huang Mingyuan to gain opportunities, but in the past two years, there have been fewer such people.

    Yang Guang also knew that Huang Mingyuan didn't like to participate in such activities, and he didn't want anyone to disturb him.

    Huang Mingyuan sat down and drank a glass of water, then asked his second son to go find Yang Ji, the grandson of the emperor.  I don't like making noises, so I don't need to restrain my son.

    "Besides, Wei Lie has been scratching his head and head anxiously for a long time, but he just doesn't know how to tell his father. After all, Princess Qinghe is also attending the banquet today.  They see each other only a handful of times a year.

    The love between teenagers is the most pure and beautiful. I hope they can enjoy this last moment of relaxation.

    Gradually, all the people attending the banquet arrived. Princes, emperors, grandsons, officials and nobles, men and women, gathered together happily. They had no idea that the people outside were already living a life of dire straits, and life was worse than death.

    People are not afraid of enjoying life, but what they are afraid of is taking this enjoyment for granted.

    Huang Mingyuan poured himself a drink, and his father-in-law, Pei Ju, came over with a wine glass and sat on Huang Mingyuan's side.

    At this time, only Pei Ju dared to come.

    Pei Ju put down his cup and Huang Mingyuan filled it for Pei Ju.

    "Is it confirmed about going north?"

    Huang Mingyuan nodded and said: "The emperor and I have made an agreement. I will leave Luoyang in mid-April and return to Liaodong. In May, I will officially launch a new round of offensive against Goguryeo."

    After hearing this, Pei Ju replied: "Staying away from Luoyang is a good choice. If it weren't for the emperor's obsession with Goguryeo, I'm afraid he would never let you go to Liaodong. But in the court, you are considered inferior to one person and ten thousand people."  Above all, now that the situation between the DPRK and China is very good for you, are you willing to just leave like this?"

    Huang Mingyuan smiled softly.

    ¡°Father-in-law, you still don¡¯t understand me, but this is never what I want.¡±

    Pei Ju was a little silent. Sometimes, he really didn't know what his son-in-law wanted. Although he was the prime minister, he didn't love fighting for power. Apart from marching, fighting, and expanding the territory, he had almost no personal desires or desires.  Pei Ju even sometimes doubts, is his son-in-law really going to be a sage?

    Thinking of this, Pei Ju couldn't help but shake his head. His son-in-law has been like this for more than ten years. Even if he is pretending, no one can pretend for so many years.

    At this time, Pei Ju thought of a nursery rhyme circulating in Luoyang these days: "The poplar flowers have fallen, and the plum blossoms have bloomed; peaches and plums have the world."  As soon as this nursery rhyme appeared, it quickly spread throughout Luoyang, and the prophecy that "Li Shi should be the emperor" spread among the court.  For a moment, people were panicked.

    Pei Ju said softly to Huang Mingyuan: "Mingyuan, you have heard the prophecy."

    "What prophecy?"

    Huang Mingyuan didn't react for a while, but he realized what Pei Ju meant later.

    "Things like prophecies can hurt others and hurt ourselves. I never believe in these things. If the ownership of the country can be determined by just a prophecy, then what use is it for us and other soldiers? Why don't we all pray to God and worship Buddha. It's nothing.  It¡¯s ordained.¡±

    Pei Ju replied: "Of course I know this kind of thing. It has no practical significance. It's just who does Mingyuan think will release this turmoil?"

    Huang Mingyuan put down the wine glass he was holding, thought for a moment, and then said: "Whoever gets the advantage does it."

    Huang Mingyuan said it but didn't say it. Pei Ju couldn't tell the depth of this muddy water for a while.  Pei Ju could guess who the other party's target might be. After all, the Li family was the most conspicuous family in the world and most likely to fit the prophecy. But whether he wanted to push them one step further or directly push them into the abyss.

    If it were normal, Pei Ju would be dismissive of such prophecies.  He has been in the officialdom for so many years, has experienced many ups and downs, and has seen everything.

    In just the past two years, the situation of the Sui Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline. Although it still looks like a giant, its decline has become more and more obvious.  Pei Ju can't connect this scene with the prosperous age in any case. Instead, it looks like the end of the world. What if the Sui Dynasty is really going to change?

    Pei Ju is a man with a hint of slickness in his wisdom, and he is best at finding a career.

    Therefore, Pei Ju could not help but whisper: "Looking at the current situation, Mingyuan, can the Sui Dynasty survive?"

    Huang Mingyuan immediately interrupted Pei Ju and said, "My father-in-law is the prime minister, so there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense."

    Pei Ju just looked at the current situation and felt a little worried.  However, the son-in-law interrupted him so decisively, which made Pei Ju feel that his son-in-law was a little guilty. Could it be that the Sui Dynasty really couldn't hold on any longer.

    Weng and son-in-law were both silent for a moment.

    After a while, Pei Ju found a way to say something: "Will Shuning and the children stay in Luoyang this time?"

    Huang Mingyuan said: "We won't leave for the time being. After Shuning holds the wedding for Yi Nu (the nickname of the elder Erlie) in the second half of the year, she will go to Liaodong. As for Diao Lang and Yi Nu, they both got married and stayed in Luoyang.  . Several other small ones followed Shuning to Liaodong."

    By March of this year, the Huang family was out of service, and Huang Mingyuan was preparing to marry his eldest son, Wei Yang, even though the eldest son was not very old.  The main reason is that Yang Guang, the second eldest child, has already decided to get married. The elder brother must come before the younger brother. Moreover, Huang Mingyuan is in a hurry to return to Liaodong, so the wedding has to be postponed in early April.  The eldest child is thirteen, and the second child is only eleven. In future generations, they will only be primary school students or junior high school students. Now they are all getting married.

    Pei Ju nodded. Huang Mingyuan's five legitimate sons left the eldest son and second son behind, which reassured the emperor.  As for the concubine giving birth to a son, no one took it seriously.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
