Chapter 802: Face to face

Wang Lun also felt helpless at this time, he was a good step to the rank, but he was messed up by this King Yue who was killed inexplicably, and he didn't dare to say anything, after all, his identity was not comparable to him. Compared with Wang Lun's depression, Sima Guang and other ministers were also helpless, thinking and meditating for a long time, but they couldn't think of any remedy, and finally everyone looked at the Empress Dowager Gao behind the bead curtain.

I saw a long silence behind the bead curtain, and finally I only heard the voice of the Empress Dowager Gao come out again: "I didn't expect that my Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchen still have such a secret, but this is all many years ago, and it is no wonder that King Yue, since this is the case, then the matter of forming an alliance with the Jurchen will be stopped!" ”

Although I can't see the expression of the Empress Dowager Gao, I can also feel from her voice that the Empress Dowager Gao is not very willing to give up the alliance with the Jurchens, but unfortunately it is clear that it is impossible to form an alliance with the Jurchens again, so it is useless for her to be unwilling, and it is impossible to blame Zhao Yan for this, after all, Zhao Shu has already punished Zhao Yan at the beginning, not to mention that Zhao Yan is not what it used to be now, although he ignores the government and politics, but he can influence the court situation, so the Empress Dowager Gao does not want to provoke him too much.

Although he had been mentally prepared before, Wang Lun couldn't help but feel a little heartache when he heard the words of the Empress Dowager Gao give up the alliance with the Jurchens, a good promotion level was gone, but he couldn't be regarded as completely ungained, at least this time he saw the Empress Dowager Gao, and he had a good relationship with Sima Guang and others, which was extremely beneficial to his future in the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that what Wang Lun never expected was that Zhao Yan suddenly turned his gaze to him at this time, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Wang offered the imperial court a plan to form an alliance with the Jurchens, which was originally a heart of loyalty to serve the country, but unfortunately because of some mistakes made by this king, this plan could not be implemented, and this king is really a little unhappy!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yue is too polite. This matter is all to blame for the old decay's lack of consideration, and it really has nothing to do with His Highness! Wang Lun saw that Zhao Yan was so polite to him, and he was a little flattered at the moment, and at the same time, he was also a little happy in his heart, he also knew that Zhao Yan's influence in the Great Song Dynasty was if he could climb this high branch. Then his future will be even brighter.

It's a pity that although Zhao Yan smiled on the surface, he despised this Wang Lun very much in his heart because of Gu Tianjie's matter, and he smiled again at this time and said: "Mr. Wang, you have traveled thousands of miles from Liao to my Great Song Dynasty, and such a move towards your homeland really touches this king's heart!" ”

"His Royal Highness said seriously, although the old man was born in the Liao country, but in his heart he has always regarded himself as a Han person, although the Liao country has invited the old man to be an official several times over the years. But the old decay resigned, and the older he gets, the more he misses his homeland, and finally decides to flee from the Liao Kingdom to join the Great Song Dynasty, even if he dies old and old, he will die in the land of the Great Song Dynasty! Wang Lun said impassionedly at this time, and when he said the end, he was even more sincere, and Sima Guang and other people who didn't know the inside story saw this. They couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

"Oh? Mr. Wang is really sincere to my Great Song, but it is also a coincidence. When the king entered the palace before, he happened to meet an old gentleman, he said that he and Mr. Wang were the old people of the Liao Kingdom, I wonder if Mr. Wang can imagine seeing each other? Zhao Yan finally revealed his true face at this time, and there was a sneer in his eyes.

"The deceased?" Wang Lun was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Yan's words, and then there was a bit of panic in his eyes. However, his city was very deep, and he quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "This is strange, not many people know about the fact that the old man came to the Great Song Dynasty, and most of the old people are in the Liao Kingdom." It seems that there has never been anyone I know in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Hehe, if you know him, just ask him in!" Zhao Yan didn't bother to play any more at this time, and his tone turned cold at the moment, which made Wang Lun also startled, and a feeling of panic suddenly welled up in his heart for no reason, and he even wanted to turn around and run away.

"The queen mother, the son wants to invite an old man who has already been a priest into the palace!" Zhao Yan turned around and asked the Empress Dowager Gao at this time, after all, this is the Vertical Arch Palace, and if you want to let Gu Tianjie's family in, you must get the consent of the Empress Dowager Gao.

"King Yue, what's the matter with you?" Empress Dowager Gao was a little inexplicable at this time, she also saw the change in the expression on Zhao Yan's face, and naturally understood that Zhao Yan was targeting Wang Lun, but Wang Lun was the first scholar in Liao to take the initiative to join the Great Song Dynasty, if this matter was publicized, it would definitely make the Great Song Dynasty have a bright face, so she didn't want Zhao Yan to embarrass Wang Lun.

"Queen Mother, this matter is too complicated, and the sons can't explain it in a few words, but as long as you let people from outside in, you will definitely understand!" Zhao Yan asked again at this time, he also understood the thoughts in the heart of the Empress Dowager Gao, but whether it was public or private, he would not let a deceitful and famous thief like Wang Lun mix in the court of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing Zhao Yan so insistent, Empress Dowager Gao was also a little helpless, so she had to agree to Zhao Yan's request, and announced that the people outside came in, but after a while, I saw Zhou Tong and Gu Tianjie coming in with his bones, Zhao Yan keenly found at this time that Gu Tianjie's face was even more ugly than before, which made him worry again about whether Gu Tianjie's body could explain his grievances clearly?

"Gu Tianjie, the former moral instructor of the military academy, meet the Empress Dowager!" Although Gu Tianjie was extremely weak, but under the support of his daughter and son-in-law, he walked very steadily, and now bowed to the Empress Dowager Gao, the moral instructor is one of the military academy instructors, in addition to martial arts instructors, art of war instructors, etc., the moral instructor is ostensibly an instructor who teaches the personal qualities of military academy students, but in fact, it is mainly to instill the concept of loyalty and patriotism in the students, so as to ensure that these students will not do things that endanger the Great Song Dynasty after graduation, and the virtue instructor has great rights in the military academy, If the moral instructor thinks that a student's qualities are problematic, then the student is unlikely to graduate from a military school.

Originally, when Gu Tianjie came in, Wang Lun didn't recognize him, after all, decades have passed, and Gu Tianjie has been suffering from illness all the year round, so he has long lost the demeanor of the year, and even his appearance has undergone some changes, of course Wang Lun can't recognize him, but when he heard Gu Tianjie report his name, his face suddenly turned pale, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he never expected that Gu Tianjie, who was ruined by him, was still alive!

"Oh? You turned out to be an instructor at the military academy, but why did King Yue just say that you were the old man of Mr. Wang Lunwang? At this time, Empress Dowager Gao was also a little surprised when she heard Gu Tianjie's identity, she really couldn't think of why the instructor of the military academy was an old acquaintance with Wang Lun?

"Empress Dowager, the grievances between the old minister and Wang Lun cannot be said clearly, but the old minister implores the Queen Mother to allow the old minister and Wang Lun to say a few words face to face!" Gu Tianjie was very calm at this time, and even after entering the main hall, he didn't even look at Wang Lun, but Zhao Yan could feel that on Gu Tianjie's calm surface, there was anger like a volcano.

"Accurate!" Empress Dowager Gao found that although Gu Tianjie had only been a low-level official such as a moral instructor, he had behaved extremely calmly since he entered the main hall, and although his body was weak, he had his own bearing in his words and deeds, which was no worse than Sima Guang and other ministers next to him. In addition, Empress Dowager Gao also discovered Wang Lun's abnormality, so she was also very curious about what grievances existed between Gu Tianjie and Wang Lun?

With the permission of the Empress Dowager Gao, Gu Tianjie's face also swelled up with an abnormal flush, and he coughed violently a few times at the moment, and finally stopped, and then he let the bones and Zhou Tong support him and slowly came to the pale Wang Lun, but he was not in a hurry to speak, but slowly looked at him a few times, and then said slowly: "Wang Lun, I haven't seen you for decades, I guess you have long forgotten about me, right?" ”

The calmer Gu Tianjie was, the more panicked Wang Lun became, and at the same time more empty-hearted, after all, it was precisely because of his report that all Gu Tianjie's family was killed, although Gu Tianjie and his wife escaped at the beginning, but they had not seen each other for decades, which made Wang Lun think that Gu Tianjie and his wife had died outside, but he never expected to meet him in the Great Song Dynasty, thousands of miles away, and the other party was also an official of the Great Song Dynasty, which made Wang Lun unable to keep calm anymore, and said in a hoarse voice at the moment: "You ...... Aren't you long dead? ”

"Hahahaha...... cough cough ~ " Seeing Wang Lun so panicked, Gu Tianjie let out a series of hearty laughter, but unfortunately his illness was too serious, and after half laughing, he coughed violently again, and after a while, he relieved his breath and said, "I regarded you as a friend at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to report my heart to the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao Imperial Court, which led to my ancient family being beheaded, I fled to the Jurchens with my wife and secretly survived, I thought that this life was hopeless, but I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness King Yue and bring me back to the Great Song Dynasty, Originally, I just wanted to be satisfied with watching my daughter get married and have children, plus I have been seriously ill all these years, and I have no intention of revenge, but I didn't expect God to finally open his eyes, and before I died, I actually saw you, the enemy who ruined my family, and let me get revenge! ”

Just when Gu Tianjie just said the last word "report", suddenly a change protruded, and he saw that his face suddenly became extremely red, as if he was enduring something, but in the end, he suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and the whole person suddenly became extremely aggrieved, if it weren't for Zhou Dong and the bones to support him, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground at this time, which made Zhao Yan also shocked, worried that if Gu Tianjie fell, I am afraid it would be difficult to wake up again.
