How is it? Lu Wu was wearing a royal blue robe, raised his hands and moved a few times, and then asked Li Zhang.

"It fits so well! Uncle Wu, you are wearing it and you are more than ten years younger all of a sudden! Li Zhang immediately praised.

Empress Dowager Li left, but quietly asked him to give Lu Wu a pair of clothes, and Li Zhang recognized at a glance that this was a dress made by Empress Dowager Li herself, because every year Empress Dowager Li had to make a set of clothes for Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang, which almost became her habit, so Li Zhang also recognized at a glance that the stitches on Lu Wu's clothes were sewn by Empress Dowager Li herself.

Hearing Li Zhang's praise, Lu Wu unexpectedly showed a rare expression of embarrassment, and then smoothed out a few small folds on his clothes with both hands, and his face also showed a contemplative look, only to see him take off his clothes again after a while.

"Uncle Wu, why don't you wear it?" Li Zhang also asked with a strange expression when he saw this.

"It's nothing, I'm afraid I'm going to wear it out!" I saw that Lu Wu carefully folded his clothes at this time, and then seemed to think of something, and immediately raised his head and said to Li Zhang again, "If I die in the future, you will let me wear this clothes and be buried!" ”

"Uncle Wu, don't say such unlucky things, I ......"

Li Zhang heard Lu Wu's words and just wanted to persuade a few words, but was interrupted by Lu Wu waving his hand, and he also showed a somewhat depressed look on his face, as if he had thought of something sad, which made Li Zhang helplessly shut up, at this time he no longer wanted to ask Lu Wu and Empress Dowager Li about the past, so as not to arouse his sadness again.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang just got up, but he was summoned to the palace by someone sent by Zhao Zhen, which made him a little worried. But it shouldn't be, except for himself, Empress Dowager Li, and Lu Wu, no outsiders know about this matter at all, how could Zhao Zhen know?

However, this time Zhao Zhen did not see Li Zhang in the Vertical Arch Palace, but changed to the Wende Hall in the first half of the imperial city, and when he entered the main hall, he saw an acquaintance at a glance, and he didn't expect to see the other party here.

"Jereman first!" Li Zhang's eyes widened at this time at Yelu Renxian who was standing in the main hall, and even he wondered if he was dreaming, otherwise how could he see this important minister of the Liao State here.

"Liao envoy Yeluren first saw the Marquis of Dingbei, but he hasn't seen him for many years, and the demeanor of the Marquis of Dingbei is even better than in the past!" I saw that Yelu Renxian saluted Li Zhang at this time, and there was a gentle smile on his face.

Li Zhang and Yeluren were the same age first, when the two met for the first time, they were both about twenty years old, but Li Zhang was an envoy at that time, and Yeluren was Yeluren's true confidant, but now the identities of the two are reversed.

Both of them are over thirty years old this year, but they are very different in appearance, although Li Zhang is over thirty years old, but he is usually well-maintained and young, so he doesn't look much different from back then, in contrast, Yelu Renxian is described as haggard, his temples are even gray, there are a few more wrinkles on his forehead, plus a full beard, I am afraid that no one will doubt him when he is fifty.

"The envoy sent by the Liao State turned out to be you!" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard this, and looked at the other party.

Some time ago, the Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to send people to contact the Liao State to discuss the alliance between the two countries to jointly deal with the party, and the probability of success in this matter was not high, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is strong now, and the Liao State and the party are weak, so it is the most rational choice for the Liao State and the party to form an alliance against the Great Song Dynasty.

However, Yelu Zongzhen refused to put down his waist and form an alliance with the party, and the result was that Yelu Zongzhen was able to disagree with the public, and finally agreed to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the party together, in fact, some people persuaded Yelu Zongzhen not to pay attention to the Great Song Dynasty and the party, and not to ally with both sides, but Yelu Zongzhen was worried that the Great Song and the party were united, this kind of thing had happened before, so he finally chose the Great Song Dynasty.

"With the dignity of the Marquis of Dingbei, he also served as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty back then, not to mention that he was just below?" Yelu Renxian spoke again, and he kept looking at Li Zhang as he spoke.

In fact, when Yeluren first saw Li Zhang, he didn't take Li Zhang very seriously, in fact, these Khitan nobles originally looked down on the Song people, and he only took Li Zhang to make a bowl, so there was no communication on the road, but he never dreamed that it was Li Zhang, who he looked down on at the beginning, but single-handedly planned the attack on their Liao State, which made them fall to the point where they are now.

"Cousin, this Yelu envoy named and said that he wanted to see you, and said that you were old people back then, and it just so happened that he came to discuss the alliance, why don't you come to receive him?" At this moment, I saw Zhao Zhen in the palace say with a smile, he naturally knew Yeluren's status in the Liao State, and apart from Li Zhang, he couldn't think of any suitable person who could suppress this important minister of the Liao State.

"No problem, if Brother Ren Xian needs anything in the capital, just come to me, it just so happens that I also want to have a long talk with Brother Ren Xian!" Li Zhang immediately nodded and said, Zhao Zhen just asked him to be in charge of the reception, as for the negotiation of the alliance between the two countries, there are naturally other ministers to deal with it, and Li Zhang does not like this kind of negotiation.

"Then there is Laoding Beihou!" Yeluren saluted Li Zhang again at this time, and his eyes never left Li Zhang's figure since Li Zhang came in.

In fact, the main purpose of Yelu Renxian coming to the Great Song Dynasty in person was not to discuss the alliance, in fact, he was resolutely opposed to the alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, but Yelu Zongzhen insisted on going his own way, and no one could persuade him, and in the end he could only accept it helplessly.

However, Yelu Renxian wanted to take this opportunity to come to the Great Song Dynasty, because he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of changes had taken place in the Great Song Dynasty, and he was able to sweep away the previous weakness, not only swept away the party and penetrated his own power into the Western Regions, but also took away Yan Yun and defeated their Liao Iron Cavalry, this change was by no means a day's work, but they were too careless before the Liao State, and they didn't notice the changes in the Great Song Dynasty at all.

Li Zhang had already guessed Yelu Renxian's intentions, after all, the alliance was not very important, and there was no need to labor Yelu Renxian, the first important minister of the Liao State, but the other party still came, and the only explanation was that he wanted to test the reality of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, Li Zhang is not afraid at all, the internal changes in the Great Song Dynasty are actually just the beginning, but the trend of this change has already formed, and in the face of the general trend, no one can stop it, even if Yeluren first sees all the top and bottom of the Great Song Dynasty, it still can't change the final outcome of the Liao Kingdom.
