Chapter 803: Gu Tianjie's Death
Gu Tianjie was confronting Wang Lun in the main hall, but he didn't expect to spurt out a mouthful of blood because he was seriously ill, which made Zhao Yan also shocked, worried that his body would not be able to bear it, but Gu Tianjie was far stronger than he imagined, although he was extremely depressed after vomiting blood, he still held on and did not faint, and his two eyes full of anger were still firmly staring at Wang Lun.
In the face of the menacing Gu Tianjie, Wang Lun did lose his square inch at the beginning, but when he saw that Gu Tianjie's body was so weak, as if he might fall down at any time, this made his eyes suddenly brighten, and he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it: "Brother Gu, when your family suffered a catastrophe, Wang Mou was also sad in his heart, I thought you were no longer alive, but I didn't expect to see you here, it is really a great joy in life, but I don't know why you said that I reported you as soon as you met, is this a misunderstanding?" ”
Wang Lun also saw that Gu Tianjie's body was wrong, so he wanted to die and deny it, anyway, it was a few decades ago, and it happened in Liao, plus he was the first scholar to take refuge in Liao, which is still a bit useful for the Great Song Dynasty, so he also wants to gamble, maybe the Great Song Dynasty will not pursue this matter.
Seeing that Wang Lun didn't admit it, Gu Tianjie couldn't help but tremble with anger, in fact, with his usual calmness and wisdom, there was a way to deal with Wang Lun, but at this time, his body had reached an extremely bad situation, and it became very difficult to even think, let alone deal with the current situation calmly.
Zhao Yan finally couldn't stand it at this time, originally he wanted Gu Tianjie to personally expose Wang Lun's true face, but now it seems that his body does not allow it at all, so at this time he had to stand up and say: "It's a good death and doesn't admit it, but Wang Lun, don't forget that the old man standing in front of you is no longer the powerless scholar he was back then." It's an official of my Great Song Dynasty, the students he taught in the military academy are all over my Great Song Army, and I didn't know it before, but now that I know that he has grievances, my Great Song Dynasty will naturally not sit idly by, and must send someone to find out. Don't think that we can't find out about the affairs of Liao, the Great Song Dynasty! ”
Zhao Yan's words can be said to be the key to Wang Lun, what he is most worried about is Gu Tianjie's identity, and now hearing Zhao Yan's words, it suddenly broke Wang Lun's luck psychology, making his face extremely pale again, and his face also showed fear, you must know that he has no foundation in the Great Song Dynasty, if the Great Song Dynasty pursues this matter, then the fate of their family will be completely in the hands of the other party. Even the tragedy of the Gu family's beheading will happen to him.
Seeing the change in the expression on Wang Lun's face, the other people present could also conclude that what Gu Tianjie said before should be true, which made Sima Guang's old face flush with shame, after talking to Wang Lun before, he felt that the other party was knowledgeable and should be a knowledgeable person, but he didn't expect that he would be a villain without virtue, if this kind of person was allowed to enter the court. I'm afraid I'll make myself a laughing stock in the future.
Gu Tianjie was speechless at this time, but after hearing Zhao Yan's words, he also showed a grateful look to him. And Zhao Yan nodded to him and motioned for him to take a break, and then saw Zhao Yan continue: "Queen Mother, ladies and gentlemen, you may not know much about Gu Tianjie, but for me. Gu Tianjie is a friend who shares life and death with me, when I was exiled to the Jurchens, I saw Gu Tianjie who was paralyzed, and he could have exposed the lie of my fake alliance, but he didn't. On the contrary, he helped me cover up many times, and it was then that I learned that he was persecuted by the Liao State because of his heart for the Great Song Dynasty, and he had to flee with his family to the wilderness of the far north, and if he had to take care of his young daughter, I am afraid he would not have survived for a long time......"
Zhao Yan said that he talked about the process of his acquaintance with Gu Tianjie in the Jurchen in detail, which especially highlighted that it was not easy for Gu Tianjie to survive, and then talked about Gu Tianjie's contribution to teaching in the military academy after he was brought back to the Great Song Dynasty, speaking of which Gu Tianjie was the first moral instructor of the military academy, and his national theory was also accepted by the teachers and students of the military academy, and even spread to Gewu Academy, and spread more widely through the academy, so Gu Tianjie's influence has long been not limited to military schools, On the contrary, it has had a considerable impact on many young scholars, and has strengthened their thinking of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism.
When Sima Guang and the others knew that Gu Tianjie was just a small moral instructor, they still had some contempt for him in their hearts, but after listening to Zhao Yan's story, they were very sympathetic to Gu Tianjie's plight in their hearts, and they admired his contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, which also made their eyes look at Wang Lun a little unkindly, after all, they were also officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were naturally closer to Gu Tianjie.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan was also secretly happy in his heart, and immediately saluted the Empress Dowager Gao behind the bead curtain and said: "Queen Mother, when Gu Tianjie was in the Liao Kingdom, he was destroyed because of his heart to the Great Song Dynasty, and then he suffered a lot and came to the Great Song Dynasty and made a lot of contributions to my Great Song Dynasty, which is really admirable. ”
"The minister is also willing to beg the Empress Dowager to be the master for Gu Tianjie!" As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, Su Shi was the first to speak in agreement, he knew better than anyone what happened to Gu Tianjie, if it wasn't for Zhao Yan, he would have helped Gu Tianjie fight just now.
Su Shi was the first, and then Su Song also said that he asked the Empress Dowager Gao to make the decision for Gu Tianjie, and then Chen Shengzhi and several other ministers also expressed their positions one after another, and even Sima Guang finally stood on Gu Tianjie's side, although he was Wang Lun's recommender, but he was also deceived by Wang Lun in advance, and now that he knows Wang Lun's true face, he will naturally not be with the other party again, and he is more accessible than Wang Anshi in this regard.
Seeing so many people interceding for Gu Tianjie, it was naturally impossible for Empress Dowager Gao to go against the will of so many ministers because of just one Wang Lun, not to mention that there was Zhao Yan among them, so she finally said to Wang Lun: "Wang Lun, Gu Tianjie pointed out that you reported him to the Liao State at the beginning, causing their Gu family to be beheaded, can you plead guilty to this matter?" ”
"I ......" Wang Lun wanted to insist on not admitting his guilt, but he suddenly thought at this time, even if he didn't admit his guilt, it was not very difficult to find out the truth of the matter with the ability of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that his family was now in the Great Song Dynasty, if he angered the Great Song Dynasty because of this, I am afraid that dozens of people in their Wang family would not want to leave alive.
Thinking of the above, Wang Lun also became depressed, and finally nodded weakly and said: "I confess, I was jealous of Gu Tianjie's talent back then, and I often heard him say something in front of me that excluded the Liao State from being close to the Great Song Dynasty, and I reported him to the Liao State in a moment of confusion, but this matter is only done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with my family, I hope that the Great Song Dynasty can be dealt with impartially and not implicate my family!" ”
Seeing that Wang Lun finally confessed, Gu Tianjie, who had entered the dying moment, finally showed a smile, and then slowly closed his eyes, Zhou Tong, who was supporting him, only felt Gu Tianjie's body sink at this time, and then the bones emitted a heart-rending cry, in fact, Gu Tianjie's body had long been dead, and he only relied on his last breath to hold on, and now seeing Wang Lun confess, this last wish was also gone, and he naturally left without worry.
Zhao Yan saw that Gu Tianjie died so peacefully, he was also stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to react, at this time the bones were still crying, but this is the vertical arch hall, it is indeed a little inappropriate to be so noisy like her, Zhao Yan was afraid that the Empress Dowager Gao would blame, so he saluted behind the bead curtain and said: "Gu Tianjie's father and daughter have a deep relationship, and I hope that the queen mother will not blame!" ”
As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, before the Empress Dowager Gao answered, she saw that the bones that were crying suddenly wiped tears, and she took a few steps to kneel down to the Empress Dowager Gao behind the bead curtain and said: "The women beg the Empress Dowager to let the women kill the enemy with their own hands, and avenge the lives of my grandfather, grandmother, and dozens of people from the Gu family!" ”
"Huh? You, a little woman, dare to kill someone? "Empress Dowager Gao was very surprised when she heard the words of the bones, the bones were grown up in Wanyan before they were teenagers, and they were hungry and malnourished, so they grew thinner, although they ate well and lived well over the years, but they missed the best age to grow up, so they still look like a petite and delicate woman, so Empress Dowager Gao was so surprised when she heard that the bones wanted to kill the enemy with her own hands to take revenge.
"As long as the Queen Mother allows, the women will dare!" The bones were originally wild girls, and she was amazingly bold, and at this time, she had just experienced the pain of the death of her loved ones, so she had no scruples, as for Zhou Tong, although he felt that his wife's actions were a little inappropriate, but he didn't dare to stop it, because he knew the consequences of the bones going crazy.
"This is interesting, looking at your thin and weak appearance, the mourning family really can't believe that you dare to slash the enemy!" Empress Dowager Gao paused when she said this, as if she was really thinking about something, and then chuckled and said, "It's okay, anyway, the crime committed by Wang Lun is also a capital crime, so the mourning family will give you a chance to kill him with your own hands to avenge your whole family." ”
Although Empress Dowager Gao agreed to kill Wang Lun with her own hands, she meant that after interrogating Wang Lun's crimes, she would hand them over to Bones to take revenge with her own hands, but Bones thought that Wang Lun had confessed and could kill him at any time to avenge the whole family, so when she heard Empress Dowager Gao's consent, she immediately turned around and walked towards Wang Lun.
"You...... What are you doing? Wang Lun saw that the bones were full of murderous looks and retreated again and again, and his face also showed a frightened look, and the Empress Dowager Gao also noticed that something was wrong at this time, and just wanted to stop the bones from committing the murder, but she didn't expect the bones to roar and pounce on them, pull out the hairpin from the head as a dagger, and stab at Wang Lun fiercely.
