1. Yang Huairen quickly understood the meaning of Zhang Xuan's words, this was the real purpose of Zhao Xu sending him to attend the inauguration ceremony of the college today.

For Zhao Xu, Zhang Dian is currently his minister in reforming the government, and Yang Huairen is for him, although Yang Huairen can't help in the affairs of the court and politics, but to a certain extent, he is also a good friend, and he is regarded as his right-hand man.

Zhang Dian had just returned to Beijing, and many people needed to get to know and make friends, but the inauguration ceremony of a small academy had to ask a dignified prime minister to take time out of his busy schedule to participate, which also meant that Zhang Dian and Yang Huairen would make friends.

Yang Huairen will not fail to understand this, he is still very happy to make friends with a prime minister, and he doesn't have to be intimate to make friends, the age gap and the experience gap are also destined to make it impossible for two people to become good friends like their peers.

It's just that if you talk more about friendship, it won't hurt if the two of you are easy to do things in the future, since Yang Huairen is a lot younger, respect him and treat him as a teacher, and he won't suffer.

Zhao Hao wants to dismiss the official and give the funeral, in the eyes of others, there may be many understandings of Lord Jia's approach.

His mother, the Empress Dowager Gao, died of illness so suddenly, Zhao Hao must have felt too sudden, and during the period when the Empress Dowager Gao was "seriously ill", Zhao Hao did not get the opportunity to serve his mother, and his emperor's nephew prevaricated for various reasons, which easily made Zhao Hao suspicious.

What kind of things will happen in the palace, and what are the reasons and consequences, Zhao Hao, as a prince and prince, naturally knows that the reason why he stays away from the court and sends love poems and paintings is also to avoid suspicion.

But when such a thing really happened to his dearest relatives, that kind of sadness and sadness could not be dissipated so easily.

On one side is his mother, on the other hand is his emperor's nephew, Zhao Hao is already in a dilemma in the middle, now that Zhao Xu is back in charge of the government, Zhao Hao can't help but worry, what kind of image is he in his nephew's heart?

Since ancient times, there have been countless things that have disregarded flesh and blood for the sake of power, and it is not impossible to kill his son and father, not to mention that the relationship between him and Zhao Xu is just an uncle and nephew?

Therefore, Zhao Hao took the initiative to dismiss the official and go to the Empress Dowager Gao to fulfill his filial piety.

Such a move is to retreat into advance, which is also the most common practice of a prince like him, everyone's purpose is obvious, no one needs to say it, just know it.

It's just that this time Zhao Xu didn't really doubt what ambitions his uncle would have, he was now in high spirits, busy realizing his ideal of governing the country, and he didn't have time to doubt his own uncle, who had always been harmless to humans and animals.

So Zhao Hao insisted on going to the imperial tomb to keep filial piety for his mother for three years, Zhao Xu felt that his uncle was making a bit of a fuss, so he naturally wanted to find someone to persuade Zhao Hao and let him not worry too much.

And this person who can persuade Zhao Hao, Zhao Xu thought about it a little, and only Yang Huairen was more suitable.

Yang Huairen had no reason to refuse Zhao Xu, so he had to agree in front of Zhang Xuan, and he also felt that it was time to have a good chat with Zhao Xu.

Zhang Dian completed all the purposes of his trip, and when he saw that Yang Huairen treated him like a teacher, he kept toasting, and he would not lose the etiquette of an elder, and he also gave Yang Huairen a few glasses in return.

When the wine was half-drunk, Zhang Duan seemed to remember one more thing, and said to Yang Huairen, "Does Yang Jungong know that the Liao State sent an envoy to the Empress Dowager to Beijing?" ”

Yang Huairen was stunned, but immediately changed his smile and replied, "This kid really doesn't know very well. ”

What Yang Huairen was puzzled about was not that the Liao Congress sent someone to mourn the Empress Dowager Gao, because the current relationship between Song and Liao was still good in name, and it was commensurate with brothers, and the old people of the brother's family were outdated, and it was also common sense for the elder brother to send someone to mourn.

Song Liao has frequent exchanges between Song and Liao, and there are envoys visiting each other almost every year, and if there is something to do, they will also send people to communicate with each other, and there is no shortage of etiquette.

However, Zhang Dian suddenly mentioned this matter, and what made Yang Huairen puzzled was that Zhang Dian suddenly mentioned this matter, he didn't deliberately tell him, and he was going to test something, right?

I believe that the relationship between Yang Huairen and the Khitans will not be unknown to Zhang Dan, because some things were really boiling at that time, and almost all the city knew about it.

First, the Liao mission people opened a restaurant opposite Yang Huairen's Suiyuan and had a malicious competition with Yang Huairen, and the result at that time was that Yang Huairen won a big victory, and later the Juyuan also became Yang Huairen's hotel.

Ordinary people who don't know the inside story will naturally simply think that Yang Huairen won in this normal business competition through cooking, and few people know what happened behind the scenes.

But many bigwigs in the court are in the know, so Zhang Dian should not know what happened between Yang Huairen and the Liao envoy.

Later, Yang Huairen went to Huanzhou, and was framed by the Khitan conspiracy in Huanzhou, which also triggered a war between Song and Xia, although the result was that the Great Song side represented by Yang Huairen won the victory, but from the results of this war, the Western Xia was damaged, the Great Song Dynasty benefited slightly, and the Khitans still reaped the benefits.

When Yang Huairen came back from Huanzhou, he found out that King Pu and the Khitan people secretly communicated with each other, which caused the government and the opposition to shake, although the Khitan people quickly made an explanation and did not let the relationship between Song and Liao deteriorate, but everyone knew that the Khitan people's explanation was not justified at all, and the Great Song Dynasty did not pursue it, just because of their own cowardice.

The relationship between the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao and the Western Xia is actually delicate, both enemies and friends, and the relationship between them is very complicated.

At present, the Western Xia were dissatisfied with the Great Liao because the Khitans instigated the relationship between the Song and Xia and caused a major war, especially the Western Xia suffered heavy losses in this matter, and began to doubt the private alliance between the two countries.

Liang Yikui, the minister of power in Western Xia, was the most at a loss, he died a son, and the enemy originally thought it was Yang Huairen, but later according to the analysis of Yang Huairen's letter to him, it was judged that his real enemy was actually a Khitan.

In a fit of rage, Chen Bing Xia Liao asked the Khitans for an explanation, but the gap in military strength between the two sides was really huge, and in the end, Da Liao did not know what benefits or compensation he had promised, and finally the matter was settled.

From this point of view, the Khitans sent envoys to mourn after learning of the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the purpose was not just to mourn the Empress Dowager Gao.

Yang Huairen can think about this slowly, Zhang Dian suddenly said this matter in front of him, was it his unintentional words after drinking, or did he deliberately say it to test Yang Huairen's reaction?

Even, did Zhao Xu deliberately let Zhang Dian do this?
