Yang Huairen and Zhang Dian said polite words to the chairman, and Yang Huairen saw that Zhang Dian was also a person who loved fine wine, so he kept adding wine to Zhang Tun.

Yang Huairen thought of the achievements made in the next ten years after Zhang Dian took power in the future, and then looked at the people in front of him, and seemed to have a sense of trance, as if it was not easy to put those things into the right seat.

The Zhang Dian in front of him has a straightforward temperament, and he is also bold when he drinks wine, without the slightest hint of the sour Confucian literati's falsehood. When talking about his demeanor, he naturally reveals an elegant and free literati temperament, which seems to be a bit inconsistent with his upright appearance.

Zhang Chun talked about the things in the court today, and talked eloquently, which sounded very insightful to Yang Huairen, a later generation, which shows that this person is a person with outstanding intelligence and profound knowledge.

The most important thing is that this person has thoughts and can think, not just follow the ideas of his predecessors and have no opinions, especially about the reform content formulated by Zhao Xu, and he also directly stated the pros and cons in front of Yang Huairen, Zhao Xu's favorite minister, and did not lie.

Zhang Dan's character is quite worthy of Yang Huairen's temperament, but Yang Huairen vaguely feels that something is not right, and he always feels a little uncomfortable.

First, because Yang Huairen didn't care much about the affairs in the court and the reforms that Zhao Xu was currently undertaking, and even Zhao Xu didn't force Yang Huairen to participate in it, so Yang Huairen was even less interested.

The second is Zhang Dan's attitude towards Yang Huairen, which is a bit shallow and deep. This is the first time the two have met, and on such a special occasion, even if they have a few more drinks, some of the words Zhang Dian said are too straightforward.

Yang Huairen is no longer the simple young man who just came to the Great Song Dynasty, after experiencing so many things, he at least will not easily do some things now, or say something that should not be said.

On the other hand, Zhang Dan, a man in his 60s, has many years of experience as an official, and the officialdom has experienced several ups and downs, so it is even more unlikely that he is not as mature as Yang Huairen, a 20-year-old young man, in this regard.

Even if you really want to make friends, there is no such reason.

Interactions between people, often have rules to follow, make friends when you are young, there is no taboo to make such a thing, everyone can talk, can play together, that is the smell of the same.

Everyone makes friends just to have a playmate, there is no complicated interest relationship at all, and the conversation is more casual.

But after people grow up slowly, especially after stepping into society, people's feelings are not as simple as when they are young.

It's easy to make friends, but it seems difficult to make a close friend, a friend who can say anything without taboo.

Friends at work, partners in business, even between neighbors, there is always no feeling that it is easy to make friends, and there are too many interests involved, which is easy to produce an invisible estrangement.

Most of my friends are also general friends, nodding friends, and the friendship is shallow, so naturally they can't say everything deeply, and it is easy to have some unnecessary misunderstandings.

Zhang Dian will definitely not understand such a truth, especially the current identity of the two people, he is a new prime minister, and Yang Huairen is a new county prince.

Two people with such identities drinking and chatting should not be like this. This made Yang Huairen a little suspicious of the purpose of Zhang Dan's visit, in addition to Zhao Xu appointing him to support the inauguration ceremony of the college, perhaps Zhang Duan personally had his own purpose for Yang Huairen.

So those intimate or taboo words came out of Zhang Dan's mouth, and when he heard Yang Huairen's ears, he felt more and more wrong, and it felt like ...... Zhang Dian is testing Yang Huairen.

Yang Huairen gradually figured it out, perhaps because Zhang Dian had been up and down in officialdom for too long, and after this recovery, an ambitious person like him finally saw an opportunity for him to realize his ideals.

Although Zhao Xu valued him very much, and gave him the title of prime minister at once, Zhang Xuan would not be stupid enough to do things with great fanfare at the beginning.

There are still seven or eight people wearing the title of prime minister in the court, and Zhang Dan, the prime minister with real power, does not dare to take it lightly.

And Yang Huairen, a close minister whom Zhao Xu trusted and was overly favored, seemed to be too indulged by Zhao Xu in Zhang Chun's eyes, and he had to use such a method to test it, maybe in the future, Yang Huairen would become his biggest obstacle on the road to realizing his political ideals.

Yang Huairen had no intention of mixing with his reform ideals, and he was still not very comfortable in his heart when he was tempted by Zhang Dian like this, so he directly stated his position.

"Zhang Xianggong doesn't have to work hard, the kid doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all, and he doesn't mean to get involved, I'm just a little person, I don't have much ambition, I can make enough money and then be a gentleman, I'm very content."

Zhang Duan was so broken by Yang Huairen, not only did he not get angry, but he went to toast Yang Huairen with a satisfied smile, maybe Yang Huairen's attitude was exactly what he wanted.

Although a sentence can't just make him believe in Yang Huairen, judging from the fact that Yang Huairen has nothing to do and spends a lot of money to build such an academy that teaches chefs, this person really doesn't have much ambition.

"Actually, there is another thing for the official family to let the old man come this time."

Zhang Dian took the initiative to divert the topic, and Yang Huairen followed him, there was no need to continue to dwell on a matter that he didn't care about at all.

"Oh? I wonder what else the Holy One commands? ”

"I can't talk about the order, it's just that there is something, and the official family wants to ask Yang Jungong to help with it. Yang Jungong heard that Lord Jia wrote to the saint to dismiss the official and give the funeral? ”

The simple understanding of dismissal is to relieve officials and go to their parents to keep filial piety. The Song Dynasty paid the most attention to filial piety, if there were parents in the family who died, when the children had three years of filial piety.

Of course, for ordinary people, giving up their livelihood and keeping filial piety to their parents for three years is indeed a manifestation of filial piety, but under the pressure of actual life, few people really keep filial piety for three years.

The normal one is filial piety for one month, and the long one is filial piety for three months. Scholars, as well as those who have become officials, seem to be very particular about this, and in addition to following the words of the sages, there are also a large number of cases where they are made for others to see.

After their parents died, they would be dismissed and go home to keep their filial piety, and when the period of filial piety expired, they would come out again as officials.

Whether it is the officials above the court or the emperor, they also attach great importance to those who follow filial piety, such as Zhang Dian who was dismissed from the official funeral many years ago and went home to keep filial piety for three years.
