Chapter 699: Analogy of the Three Kingdoms (Part I)
Yang Huairen thought about it for a while, and felt that Zhao Xu should not suspect that he was also betraying the country, otherwise he would not seem to find out about King Pu's collusion with the Khitans.
If it weren't for Zhao Xu, that would be Zhang Xuan's personal meaning.
In Yang Huairen's opinion, it may just be Zhang Dan's personal curiosity, and it may not be as complicated as he imagined.
Judging from some of the things recorded in the history of Zhangdun, he was a person who hated foreign races very much, and as long as it was about foreign affairs in Western Xia or Daliao during his reign, his attitude was very tough.
According to this analysis, perhaps the relationship between Yang Huairen and the Khitans is incomprehensible, which is to let Zhang Duan deliberately bring up the fact that the Liao envoy who mourned the Empress Dowager Gao has entered Beijing to test Yang Huairen's reason.
So instead of hiding some things, it is better to say it openly and frankly, Zhang Dian still has more than ten years to be the prime minister to do, and the two of them have spoken thoroughly and avoided mutual suspicion in the future.
Yang Huairen's face was calm, and he told several things about his relationship with the Khitans, the general process and key points of his relationship with the Khitans, as if he were telling a drunken story.
After telling the story, Yang Huairen looked at Zhang Dan's face again, and found that he was not so confused, as if he believed Yang Huairen for seven or eight points, and also retained two or three conservative opinions.
Yang Huairen felt that he was nothing, and there was nothing to be angry about being suspicious, since the matter was said, if others still suspected him of something, he didn't have to blush to refute it, the matter of the clear self-purification, it would be useless to say more.
As if in his concluding remarks, he said, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different." Whether it is the Khitan or the Tangut people, they have long been eyeing my Great Song Dynasty.
Many people in the court couldn't see it, but the old man believed that the old man and Yang Jungong should be understanding people. ”
Zhang Duan gestured back and forth with his wine glass, and Yang Huairen raised his glass and nodded and smiled, expressing his approval of this statement.
"The Emperor of Liao sent an envoy to mourn, I'm afraid that things will not be as simple as just condolences. First, the end of the year is approaching, and the Liao people will always take the trouble to revisit the matter of increasing the year's currency at this time.
The second is that after the incident in Huanzhou, the relationship between our Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Great Liao and Western Xia has been completely disrupted, and a relatively balanced relationship has been reconstructed, and the old man seems to be less likely. ”
Zhang Dan's statement seemed to speak to Yang Huairen's heart, "Zhang Xianggong is right, and the kid thinks so too." ”
Zhang Dian nodded and smiled approvingly, "I wonder what the new balance will look like in Yang Jungong's opinion?" ”
Yang Huairen shook his head in his heart, Zhang Dian said that he was not an old fox, and he had just finished the test, and he came to test him again.
However, some things may not be appropriate to talk to others, and to say to Zhangdun that maybe Zhangdun can help him realize some plans in the future.
Perhaps Yang Huairen's views on political reform are different from those of Zhang, but in terms of foreign relations, the two people's ideas do coincide.
"The kid is humble in his opinion, I'm afraid I'm going to make Zhang Xianggong laugh."
"Hey," Zhang Dian held Yang Yanren's arm and smiled, "The two of us are drinking and chatting with each other for the New Year, and no one will take it seriously when we drink and talk about it, so we will just talk about the drama." ”
This is to lower Yang Huairen's vigilance, but the truth is also sufficient, and Yang Huairen will not shirk anything.
"From the boy's point of view, a new balance will not arise between the three parties."
"Oh? Why? ”
Yang Huairen put down the wine glass in his hand, and took the other two wine glasses to form a triangle, "Zhang Xianggong, please see, between the Three Kingdoms of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao and the Western Xia, is it easy to remind people of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty?" ”
Zhang Dian stared at the three wine glasses that Yang Huairen had set up, shook his head and said, "At the time of the Three Kingdoms, the comparison of strength was different from the present in the first place.
Besides, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was divided into three parts, no matter how it was said that it was an internal struggle between our Han people, and the old man seemed to see that no matter which side of Wei, Shu and Wu finally won and unified the Central Plains, it was still the world of the Han people.
But today's Western Xia and Da Liao are indeed foreign clans, and if the beacon fire rises again in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will have no room to lose. ”
Looking at Zhang Dan's suddenly worried look, Yang Huairen didn't expect a metaphor to lead Zhang Dian to such a concern.
He wanted to say in his heart that in fact, Western Xia and Da Liao were really not the biggest threat to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Dajin Kingdom that would bring down the Northern Song Dynasty in the future was still worried about the fact that they couldn't get the special medicinal materials that Yelu Hongji asked them to pay tribute to.
Western Xia and Da Liao, in Yang Huairen's heart, are really nothing, they each have their own death holes, maybe people today can't understand it, but Yang Huairen, a person from later generations, knows.
It's just that the current Yang Huairen and Da Song don't have enough strength to use their dead hole to defeat them, and what Yang Huairen is doing is to gradually increase the strength of himself and Da Song.
For Zhang Dan, Yang Huairen suddenly felt that there were some things to say to him now, and it seemed that the time had come.
"The Great Song Dynasty will never be defeated in this situation between the three kingdoms."
Zhang Dan was shocked when he heard this, and he also felt that Yang Huairen might have eaten too much wine and talked big at a young age, but when he came into contact with Yang Huairen's eyes, he saw incomparable confidence and perseverance in those shining eyes.
"Oh? What did Yang Jungong say? ”
"Hehe, the kid is crazy. Merely...... This nonsense is not necessarily a mouthful. The three kingdoms of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, and the Western Xia, actually each had their own dead holes. ”
In front of a prime minister, it is okay to say that there are dead holes in the Great Liao and Western Xia, and if it were not for Yang Huairen to get drunk, I am afraid that Zhang Dian would mistakenly think that he was dissatisfied with the current court and officials.
Fortunately, Zhang Dian is not a person who cares about such subsections, and seeing that Yang Huairen said it so firmly, he became even more curious.
Seeing that Yang Huairen suddenly closed his mouth, Zhang Duan seemed to understand the reason why Yang Huairen was cautious, and he took the first step and asked in a low voice in Yang Huairen's ear, "Yang Jungong is talking about Taizu's testament?" ”
Yang Huairen didn't speak, smiled and nodded.
Zhang Duan also nodded, and then shook his head. Nodding his head means that he also has such a cognition, and shaking his head means that the current situation is no longer something that he and Yang Huairen have the ability to change.
The idea of Yang Wen suppressing martial arts has been prevalent for more than 100 years, Zhang Dian and Yang Huairen have the same opinion, in fact, it is not surprising, few literati dare to think like Zhang Tun, the martial artists think so, but no one dares to say it.
