Zhao Yan never thought that he would meet Gu Tianjie and Zhou Dong's family in front of the palace gate, and the family was kneeling in front of the palace gate, as if there was some grievance, when he asked Zhou Dong, the other party just looked at Gu Tianjie, and it seemed that this matter must be related to Gu Tianjie.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan didn't rush into the palace, let the carriage stop outside the palace gate, and then got into the carriage himself, Gu Tianjie had already sat down in the carriage with the support of bones at this time, but his face was still very pale, and he coughed violently from time to time, it seemed that his physical condition was not very optimistic.

Seeing this situation, Su Song and Su Shi also temporarily retired to Zhao Yan with great interest, and then came to wait outside the car, and only then did Zhao Yan speak: "Brother Gu, why are you kneeling in front of the palace gate because of this, why don't you go to me for something?" ”

As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, Gu Tianjie didn't have time to speak, but the bones next to him, who was already a wife, still wiped his tears with a straight mouth: "Your Highness, my husband and I originally wanted to go to you for help in this matter, but my father said that you have been ignoring the government for many years, and I really don't want to trouble you, so I thought of such a way, hoping to meet the Queen Mother to avenge our ancient family!" ”

"Redress? What grievances? What the hell is going on? Zhao Yan was even more confused when he heard this, Gu Tianjie was originally a Liao, but he was forced to live in exile with the Jurchens, and then came to the Great Song Dynasty as an official, with his current status, no one could dare to oppress him, right?

Seeing that Zhao Yan insisted on taking care of this matter, Gu Tianjie, who didn't want to trouble Zhao Yan, couldn't help but sigh, and then told the story with a sad expression.

It turns out that this matter is a long story, Gu Tianjie was originally a Han from Liao, and their ancient family was also a scholarly family in Liao, and they lived near Zhongjing in Liaoguo for generations. Gu Tianjie was talented and intelligent when he was young, and he also studied hard, so he was also extremely outstanding among the younger generation, and many people said that he would definitely ascend to the palace in the future and become the pillar of the Liao State.

However, Gu Tianjie is young and outstanding, and his ideas are different from those around him. Especially after he read the history books, he didn't have much sense of belonging to the Liao State ruled by foreign races, but felt very close to the Great Song Dynasty, of course, although he was young and frivolous, but he was not without brains, and naturally he would not express his thoughts in public, but when he got together with friends in private, he didn't have so many scruples, and some of his friends knew that his heart was in the Great Song Dynasty.

The word friend carries a lot of weight in Gu Tianjie's heart. As long as it is someone he thinks is a friend, he will trust the other party unreservedly, but unfortunately he is still too young and naïve, and he never thought that he would be betrayed by his friends one day, maybe because he was jealous of his talent, maybe because of some other reason, anyway, a friend around Gu Tianjie actually reported him to the government, and also listed some of Gu Tianjie's private dissatisfaction with Liao.

Originally, something like Gu Tianjie could be big or small. If you meet some generous officials, I'm afraid you will only laugh it off. But the person who reported him this time was eager to kill him, and even deliberately found a Liao official from the royal family to report, which made the official very annoyed, and ordered someone to arrest all the Gu family. After he hid outside for a few days, he heard the news that the Gu family was beheaded, which was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Gu Tianjie, and he wanted to kill himself directly at that time.

It's just that although Gu Tianjie wants to die, he can't let go of his newly married wife. After all, what would she do if she died? And what is even more coincidental is that at this time, Gu Tianjie's wife suddenly found out that she was pregnant, which made Gu Tianjie finally completely dispel the idea of seeking death, and fled from his homeland with his wife, originally they wanted to go to the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately the people who were chasing him at that time also guessed this, so the road to the south was blocked, and he had no choice but to take his wife to the north, and finally arrived at Wanyan by chance and secretly survived, and his wife also died due to difficult living conditions after giving birth to bones, which caused a major blow to Gu Tianjie again, For this reason, he couldn't afford to be sick, if it weren't for the bones who were sensible since childhood, I'm afraid that their father and daughter would have starved to death in Changbai Mountain.

Gu Tianjie's subsequent experience is also related to Zhao Yan, after being brought back to the Great Song Dynasty by Zhao Yan, Gu Tianjie's health is not very good, and he only has a daughter like Bone, plus the person who killed him back then is far away in Liao, so Gu Tianjie also has the idea of revenge, and even he didn't mention it to Bones at all, just want her and Zhou Tong to live a safe and peaceful life.

But just a few days ago, Gu Tianjie had an illness again, and the bones took him to the Xianwei next to Gewu Academy to seek treatment from Cao Tong in a carriage, which was also a coincidence, just when their carriage passed in front of Sima Guang's mansion, Gu Tianjie inadvertently saw a figure almost engraved in his bones from the car window, this person was the person who reported him who caused his family to be ruined.

"The enemy you are talking about will not be the Wang Lun from the Liao Kingdom, right?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"Yes, I didn't expect His Royal Highness to already know Wang Lun, when I saw him, I thought that the sky had eyes, and sent him to me so that I could take revenge, but then I learned that he had become a guest of honor in Sima Xianggong's mansion, and even saw the Queen Mother because of this, I knew that Wang Lun was scheming, and I was worried that he would deceive the Queen Mother, so I came to the palace gate to kneel down, hoping to see the Queen Mother and expose Wang Lun's true face to face!" Gu Tianjie forced himself to finish his words in one breath, and then there was a heart-rending cough.

Hearing that this Wang Lun turned out to be the murderer who killed Gu Tianjie's family, Zhao Yan couldn't help but be very angry, and said without hesitation: "It turns out that this Wang Lun is such a despicable villain, it's ridiculous that he claimed that he had always been close to the Great Song Dynasty, so he won the trust of the Queen Mother and others, and even wanted my Great Song Dynasty to help the Jurchens, it's really wishful thinking!" ”

"Aid the Jurchens? Wang Lun, he actually made this suggestion to the Queen Mother? Gu Tianjie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhao Yan's words, but he knew the grievances between Zhao Yan and the Jurchens, so he was also very surprised and curious when he heard this ridiculous plan.

"Yes, this Wang Lun is really a-stirring stick, he suddenly ran to my Great Song Dynasty before......" Zhao Yan said and told Wang Lun about what happened after he came to the Great Song Dynasty with his family, although Gu Tianjie had seen Wang Lun before, he didn't know Wang Lun's intentions, after all, Wang Lun's contact with the Great Song Dynasty was top secret, and even Zhao Yan didn't know it before, let alone an official like Gu Tianjie who had retired.

"Hahahaha~, God help me, I didn't expect Wang Lun to come to his death, my ancient family's revenge has been avenged!" After listening to Zhao Yan's words, Gu Tianjie couldn't help laughing, but he shed tears while laughing. With his understanding of Wang Lun, the other party must have seen the weakening of the Liao State, and saw the Jurchens' role in the Liao State, so he wanted to take a risk and offer a plan to help the Jurchens in exchange for fame and fortune, but he didn't know the grievances between Zhao Yan and the Jurchens, let alone that he was still alive, if his true face was exposed to his face, he would definitely not escape death.

Zhao Yan finally reacted at this time, Gu Tianjie's experience could also become an important pawn to sabotage the plan to aid the Jurchens, which also made him overjoyed, and immediately took Gu Tianjie's family and Su Song and Su Shi into the palace. Speaking of which, Su Shi and Gu Tianjie are also old acquaintances, and they had shared hardships in the Wanyan Department at the beginning, so on the way, he couldn't help but ask the other party why he knelt in front of the palace gate, and Gu Tianjie did not hide this, but after Su Shi and Su Song heard what happened to Gu Tianjie, they were all extremely indignant, and swore on the spot that they must help avenge the revenge.

Soon Zhao Yan and the others came to the Vertical Arch Palace, this palace was originally used by the emperor to deal with government affairs, but now Zhao Xu is young, so the Empress Dowager Gao is here to listen to the government for the time being. When Zhao Yan saw this palace again, he was also a little emotional for a while, because he thought that his father Zhao Xu and his brother Zhao Xu had lived here, and this was also the place where he came most often to enter the palace, but since he handed over power a few years ago, he has never been here, and today is the first time.

The news of Zhao Yan's arrival was immediately sent to the main hall by the inner attendant, and after a while, the Empress Dowager Gao invited him to go in with Su Song and Su Shi, as for Gu Tianjie's family, because their position was too low, they could not enter the vertical arch hall for the time being, so Zhao Yan could only let them wait outside, and then call them in when they needed to come out to testify, and Gu Tianjie's family also understood this very well.

At the moment, Zhao Yan and the three of them entered the vertical arch hall, compared to Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji when they were alive, the interior of the vertical arch hall has undergone a lot of changes, it is estimated that the Empress Dowager Gao stays here every day, and when she sees some familiar decorations here, she will think of her husband and son, so that people have changed the interior decoration of the vertical arch hall, which allows Zhao Yan to avoid the pain of seeing things and thinking about people.

After entering the inner hall, Zhao Yan immediately saw that Sima Guang, Chen Shengzhi and other ministers were also here, in addition to them, there was also an old man in his fifties standing in the hall, I saw that this old man was of medium stature, with gray hair, a long face and a square mouth, and a pair of Danfeng eyes under a pair of thick eyebrows.

"Sons meet the queen mother!" After Zhao Yan came in, he first saluted to the Empress Dowager Gao behind the curtain next to the dragon chair.

"Excuse me, I don't know why you suddenly entered the palace, the emperor?" I only heard the calm voice of the Empress Dowager Gao from behind the curtain, I am afraid that she is also very strange now, since the two made a deal three years ago, Zhao Yan has always kept his promise to ignore the government, but today he suddenly entered the palace, which is a little strange.
