Listening to Zhao Hao's words, Yang Huairen shook his head, "Do you feel like you're doing what you're supposed to do, or do you feel like you're doing what you have to do?" ”

The difference between what should be done and what has to be done is one that is surprisingly large.

"Actually, it doesn't make a difference."

Zhao Hao seemed to have seen through life, and slowly asked, "Brother Yang, is there any difference between what you say now?" The official family regained the power of the court in this way, do you think I still have room to stay in the capital? ”

Yang Huairen heard from Zhao Hao's tone that he was also helpless, as if a person had good eyesight, but it was dark, and it was foggy, and he couldn't see his five fingers clearly when he stretched out his hand.

"Things may not be the same as you imagined, and the official may have his own troubles when he does it, such as ...... It doesn't have to be that he did it first, this kind of thing is often forced to do it out of desperation. ”

"Forced to be helpless? Maybe...... However, his subsequent approach to the queen mother was a bit ......"

"Hmm...... Maybe it was a little hasty, but the proper number of courtesies was still enough. ”

Zhao Hao sighed again, lowered his head and was silent for a while, "It's just for others to see." We Song people, the most important thing is filial piety, what if the official family has done enough etiquette? In his heart, he still resented his mother. ”

"Well, I'm a foreign minister, I really don't dare to make judgments."

Yang Huairen pointed to the sky again, "For me, the sky is very far away, and it can always be seen, but it can never be touched.

And for you, the color of the sky may change, that piece of blue, sometimes it is heavy, sometimes it is empty, in fact, you don't have to change yourself because of the change of the sky.

In the eyes of the official family, you are still the imperial uncle who is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, he is not in charge of the court, and his opinion of you has not changed. ”

Zhao Hao suddenly smiled bitterly, but immediately regained his helpless expression, "It's okay to say that, but even if this is said to me by the official family himself, do I dare to believe it?" ”

"Uh......"

Yang Huairen didn't have a definite answer to this question, Zhao Hao didn't deceive himself, and he didn't have to deceive this good friend.

It is said that female cousins are ruthless and dramas are unrighteous, but when it comes to ruthlessness, people who have been born in the emperor's family since ancient times seem to be the most ruthless and unrighteous people in the world.

Between brothers, fathers and sons, how many people turn against each other in order to fight for power and profit? There are too many to count.

The people in the world are cold, and every one of us in this world has a similar experience, and Zhao Hao, as a person born in the emperor's family, naturally has a deeper understanding of this.

When Zhao Xu became the emperor, because he was young and ignorant, because he only had the emperor's order but no emperor's power, Zhao Xu, the emperor's uncle, was the closest relative in his eyes.

As he grew up and understood what he meant as an emperor, whether his opinion on this changed was something that others could speculate about.

It is said that the emperor is lonely, there is no doubt about this, and the reason why the emperor is lonely cannot be blamed on others, but it is just a person's nature.

When his position is at the top, it is natural to feel that he is overwhelmed by the cold, and who would believe that he has never worried that someone will pose a threat to his status and power?

His brothers are still young, like Duanwang Zhao Ji, who is just a child in his early tens, maybe his personality is more mature than ordinary children, but after all, his age and experience are there, he has ambitions, and he doesn't have enough scheming and ability to do anything.

But Zhao Hao is different for Zhao Xu, Zhao Hao is the image of a virtuous king in the eyes of the ministers of the court, and his reputation is also good among other imperial relatives and powerful relatives.

If Zhao Xu has the intention to rebel, he has enough ability and influence to set off a storm, and if he thinks so, Zhao Xu is destined to be jealous of his uncle.

Maybe the gesture made on the surface is very generous, but what you think in your heart, outsiders really can't say.

Zhao Hao understands this, he has to go to the Empress Dowager Gao's mausoleum to guard filial piety, which is to show his attitude that he has no ambition for power.

And Zhao Xu didn't allow it, and did everything possible to find Yang Huairen, a lobbyist, to comfort Zhao Hao, but also to show his attitude - I am generous, I believe in you.

Yang Huairen now understood what the two people in this matter were thinking, they were both acting, one was for self-preservation, and the other was for their own reputation.

And Yang Huairen is caught in the middle, in fact, he is just acting for others to see, but he is not active, just like the question he asked Zhao Hao at the beginning, maybe he thinks it should be, but in fact he has to do it.

Fortunately, Yang Huairen is only a supporting role in this scene, and he has no key influence on the direction of this drama from the beginning.

The more Yang Huairen thought about it, the more thoroughly he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the colder he became. When family affection needs to be acted for others to see, what is it called?

He suddenly didn't want to speak, as long as he was in his position, whether it was Zhao Hao or Zhao Xu, he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a friend, and he didn't have enough power to change anything.

Especially when I understand that I was originally a supporting role, I said too much and did too much, but I was suspected of stealing the show.

Since life is like a drama and depends on acting skills, Yang Huairen feels that he is not qualified to compete for Best Actor, and it is good to win a Best Supporting Actor, and never take bean sprouts as a big dish.

Seeing that Yang Huairen was not talking, Zhao Hao smiled again, but there was a kind of open-mindedness in this smile.

People have experienced their own character and temper in continuous experience, and only when they suffer losses can they accelerate their growth, and they will always be smooth sailing, and they may never grow up.

Zhao Hao felt that he was not far from Beijing, and suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and grabbed Yang Huairen's hand and said, "I went out of Beijing to the imperial tomb alone, and the princess and Fei'er will not go with me."

After I'm gone, if there's anything going on in the palace, I'll ask you to take care of it. ”

Yang Huairen felt that Zhao Hao's expression was too in place, giving people the feeling that there was a little bit of support for loneliness, and he said in his heart that you are willing to go to the imperial mausoleum to do your filial piety, but it is only three or five years of work, and it is not that you can't come back, why do you talk so ambiguously.

Remembering that a year ago, when Yang Huairen was still alone, he borrowed the power of others, let alone the benefits of Zhao Hao, but now that his position suddenly changed, he felt that he was not very adaptable.

Yang Huairen nodded firmly, "Don't worry." ”
