杨士骧和李鸿章有过一段不寻常的关系。李鸿章任两广总督时招杨士骧入幕,庚子年杨士骧随李鸿章进京议和,参与机密,大显身手,在和议中出力颇多,成为李鸿章的得力助手,从而受到李鸿章的赏识和提拔。李鸿章死后,杨士骧仍不忘李鸿章对他的知遇之恩。 Yang Shizhen and Li Hongzhang had an unusual relationship. When Li Hung-chang became Governor-General of both Guangdong and Guangzhou, Yang Shih-t’ang went into the scene. In the year of Gengzang, Yang Shih-t’ao went to Beijing to discuss with Li Hongzhang, took part in the confidentiality and gave full play to his strengths and made a lot of contributions in the peace talks. He became Li Hongzhang’s right-hand man and was appreciated and promoted by Li Hung-chang. After Li Hongzhang’s death, Yang Shizhen still did not forget the grace that Li Hung-chang had given him.
