Chapter 252: Nostalgia for the Homeland
"Hehe, the king of the county obviously knew that Yelu Chongyuan would carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, so he prepared a hot air balloon to escape early, you didn't tell me in your words just now, and the king of the county may not know that Quite Thorn Shu is actually my student, with my understanding of him, it is absolutely impossible for him to suddenly make the decision to ask for support from the Great Song Dynasty!" When Gu Tianjie said this, his face full of illness also showed a look of pride, obviously he was also extremely confident in his own judgment.
Zhao Yan never expected that this sick Gu Tianjie would be so shrewd, first he seized the loophole in his words, and suddenly guessed that he had already known about Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, and then with his understanding of Quite Thorny, he judged that it was impossible for the other party to ask him to help Wanyan, which made Zhao Yan and Yelu Si both shocked, because if this matter was known to Impeachment Libo and others, then they would be in danger.
However, after Zhao Yan's initial panic, he quickly calmed down again, and glanced at Gu Tianjie at the moment and said: "Mr. Gu is really shrewd, I did know in advance that Yelu Chongyuan was going to rebel, but you guessed wrong about this matter, at that time, he was insulted by the envoys of Western Xia, and he talked with this king very speculatively, so he had the idea of forming an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty." β
Anyway, now there is no evidence of guilt in Shu's death, so Zhao Yan plans to bite this matter to the death and not let go, and this matter is also a good thing for Wanyan, so he believes that the impeachment of Libo is more willing to believe him.
Seeing Zhao Yan's reaction, he saw Gu Tianjie smile calmly and said, "The king of the county doesn't need to panic, although I guessed something." But in the Wanyan Department, I was a humble person, except for the fact that I was more taken care of by the thorny lady in the past, other people like Impeachment Libo and others thought I was just a useless waste, so even if I told the truth, no one would believe it. β
"So what exactly do you want to do?" Yelusi didn't have any scheming in the end, and when she heard this, she was relieved and immediately opened her mouth to ask, but her opening was tantamount to proving that Gu Tianjie's previous guess was correct, which made Zhao Yan next to him angry and anxious. I tried to stop her, but it was too late.
"Hahahaha~. It seems that the grass people guessed correctly, and the king of the county really did not discuss the alliance with the Wanyan Ministry with Po Thorn Shu, but only because he fell into the hands of the impeachment bowl, in order to survive. I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of the County to know how to change. It's really rare! Gu Tianjie laughed at this time. Although he was very confident just now, it was actually just a guess, but now Yeluth's words made him confirm his guess at once.
At this time, Jerus finally understood. It turned out that she had fallen into the trap of the other party, which made her glare at the other party viciously, originally she had some pity for this Gu Tianjie just now, but now she wanted to kill the other party in her heart.
"Mr. Gu, what is your purpose, it's better to say it directly, you don't have to beat around the bush like this!" Zhao Yan calmed down at this time, glanced at Gu Tianjie seriously, and then slowly spoke, from the moment he saw the other party just now, he felt that this Gu Tianjie was not simple, and even seemed to have some purpose?
Sure enough, after Gu Tianjie heard Zhao Yan's words, he also glanced at Zhao Yan with great admiration and said: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, if His Royal Highness King Ying is also as smart as the king of the county, then the strength of the Great Song Dynasty will be just around the corner, and it will not be difficult to destroy Western Xia and defeat Northern Liao in the future!" β
"Hey! Aren't you from Liao, why do you listen to the meaning of your words, and it seems to be more inclined to the Song Kingdom? Yelusi was angry with this Gu Tianjie, and when she heard this, she immediately shouted very dissatisfied, how can she say that she is also the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and now she sees that the other party is not helping her own country but helping the Song Kingdom, she is naturally very angry.
"Although I was born in the Liao State, I have never forgotten that I am a Han person, and compared to the Liao State established by the Khitans, the Song State established by the Han people is where I should go, so I naturally hope that the Song State can recover its homeland and bring the Yanbei area back into the rule of the Han people." Gu Tianjie looked at Yelusi and said very solemnly.
"I see, no wonder you said before that you were not tolerated by the township, and you were oppressed by the Khitan nobles, so you had to flee here, presumably because of your heart for the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Yan suddenly said at this time, he finally understood why the bones were so enthusiastic about him, but he was a little cold to Yelusi, it turned out that it was all because of Gu Tianjie.
Before, after Zhao Yan entered the Liao State, he deliberately learned about the attitude of the Han people living in the Liao State towards the Great Song Dynasty, but the result made him very disappointed, because ordinary Han people don't care much about who rules them, as long as they can let them eat enough, as for those upper-class scholars, most of them agree with the rule of the Liao State, but think that the Great Song Dynasty is a traitor who stole the land of the Liao State, of course, there are a few readers who agree with the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Yan did not encounter it, I didn't expect to see a scholar who was interested in the Great Song Dynasty here in Wanyan Ministry.
"Yes, back then, I was blamed for being too young, showing my edge everywhere, and preaching the difference between Han and Hu everywhere, but as a result, not only the Khitan people hated me, but even some Han scholars hated me to the bone, and finally I had to flee here with my whole family, so I was able to survive in secret." Gu Tianjie did not deny it, but said very indifferently, after years of suffering, he has already matured and stabilized, and he is also outspoken about the mistakes he made back then.
Zhao Yan looked at Gu Tianjie and the bones next to him with some sympathy when he heard this, although the other party did not tell in detail how they were driven out of the Liao Kingdom back then, but Zhao Yan can also imagine it, if he was not forced to a dead end, I am afraid that Gu Tianjie would not have fled with his family to this poor mountain and bad water.
"I see, I didn't expect to meet a person like Mr. Gu who cherishes his homeland in this kind of place, which really touches the king!" Zhao Yan said, bowed down and bowed to Gu Tianjie, although it is still impossible to determine whether what the other party said is true or false, but the intuition tells Zhao Yan that the other party should not be lying.
"The king of the county has tormented the grass people!" Seeing that Zhao Yan was a county king who actually saluted himself, Gu Tianjie was also shocked and wanted to help, but because his body was too weak, he could only raise his hands after several efforts, and his face also showed anxiety.
However, after Zhao Yan saluted Gu Tianjie, he suddenly spoke again: "Mr. Gu, everyone is a smart person, you should guess that I will definitely come to see you after seeing the bones, and you seem to have something to say to me, this king doesn't like to go around in circles, so if you have anything to say, you should just say it directly!" β
Hearing Zhao Yan so straightforward, Gu Tianjie was stunned for a moment, and then said to the bone next to him: "Daughter, you go outside to guard first, I have something to say to the county king!" β
Bones was a dutiful woman, and when she heard her father's command, she immediately agreed and left. Gu Tianjie looked at his daughter's distant back, and finally turned his head to Zhao Yan and said: "King of the county, the grass people are already a dying person, except for the bones, there is no one worth caring about in this world, so the grass people want to ask the county king to take the bones away when he leaves, even if she is to be a subordinate next to the county king, it is better than being a wild man here in Wanyanbu." β
Hearing Gu Tianjie say that he was a dying person, Zhao Yan and Yelusi both looked at each other in surprise, although Gu Tianjie's body was very weak, but he spoke in an extremely orderly manner, not like a person who was going to die at all.
Maybe it was because he saw the surprise in Zhao Yan and Yelusi's eyes, but Gu Tianjie explained with a wry smile: "I also know some medical skills, and ordinary minor illnesses can't be difficult for me, originally my original illness was not serious, as long as I can take medicine according to it, I can recover for a month or two, but Wanyan is too closed here, even if I prescribe medicine to myself, there is no place to grab medicine, and in the end, I drag a small illness into a major illness." β
When he said this, he saw Gu Tianjie pick up the herb he hadn't eaten just now and said: "I have been taking this herb for the past two years, it can't treat my illness, but it can stimulate my body's vitality, so as to adapt to the harsh conditions of the face, such as diet, cold and heat, etc., but this herb itself is poisonous, plus a person's vitality is not endless, and I can't use other drugs to help myself replenish my vitality, so during this time I feel that my body is getting weaker and weaker, and I'm afraid I won't last long." β
Although Zhao Yan doesn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, he also knows that in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, vitality is the foundation of a person, Gu Tianjie's use of herbs to stimulate his own vitality, in fact, is equivalent to stimulating his own physical potential, this is actually a method of self-harm, but in the case of Wanyan, I am afraid this is also Gu Tianjie's only way, otherwise he may have died two years ago because he could not adapt to the difficult conditions of Wanyan.
"I see!" After Zhao Yan listened to Gu Tianjie's words, his heart was also a little heavy, but he quickly raised his head and said, "Actually, even if you don't say it, I will take the bones away, I have already told her about it on the road just now, and the bones are also very happy, and even I hope to be able to take Mr. Gu back to the Great Song Dynasty, with Mr. Gu's understanding of the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchens, he will definitely be able to make a heavy contribution to my Great Song Dynasty!" β
Hearing that Zhao Yan not only agreed to take away the bones, but even he wanted to take them away, this made Gu Tianjie's somewhat cloudy eyes couldn't help but flash a fine light, but he quickly shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Thank you for your kindness, although I really want to go to the Great Song Dynasty to have a look, but with my crippled body, I'm afraid I won't live that day at all." β
As soon as Gu Tianjie's words fell, Zhao Yan also just wanted to persuade the other party not to give up hope, after all, as long as he returned to the Great Song Dynasty, there were still two great doctors living in his own mansion, Cao Tong and Zhilugu, and there should be a way to restore his body. But at this moment, I suddenly saw the big banya impeacher running in a panic, and when he saw Zhao Yan, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "The king of the county, come with me!"
