In the hall, Gu Tianjie was confronting Wang Lun, but he didn't expect that he would spit out a mouthful of blood because he was seriously ill. This made Zhao Yan shocked and worried that his body would not be able to bear it. However, Gu Tianjie was far stronger than he thought. Although he was extremely listless after vomiting blood, he still held on to him and did not faint. His two angry eyes were still staring at Wang Lun firmly.

Facing the fierce Gu Tianjie, Wang Lun did lose his temper at the beginning, but when he saw that Gu Tianjie's body was so weak, it seemed that he might fall down at any time, which made his eyes lit up suddenly. He gritted his teeth and refused to admit it: "Brother Gu, when your family suffered a sudden disaster, Wang was also sad. He thought you were no longer in the world, but he didn't expect that seeing you here was a great pleasure 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 there was something wrong with Gu Tianjie's health, so he wanted to resist it. Anyway, that was something that happened decades ago, and it happened in the Liao Kingdom. In addition, he was the first scholar to take the initiative to surrender from the Liao Kingdom, which was still useful to the Song Dynasty, so he also wanted to take a gamble, and maybe the Song Dynasty court would stop pursuing this matter.

Seeing that Wang Lun refused to admit his account, Gu Tianjie couldn't help but tremble all over. In fact, with his usual calmness and wisdom, he had a way to deal with Wang Lun, but at this time his body had reached an extremely bad situation, and even thinking became very difficult, let alone calmly dealing with the current situation.

Zhao Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore. He originally 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 he had to stand up and say, "What a shame, but Wang Lun, you should not forget that the old man standing in front of you is no longer the powerless scholar in the past. But an official from my Song Dynasty. The students he taught in the military academy were all over my Song Dynasty army. It would be fine if he didn't know it before. Now that I know that he is wronged, my Song Dynasty will naturally not sit idly by and I must send someone to check it out clearly. Don't think that our Song Dynasty can't find out the matter of the Liao Kingdom!"

Zhao Yan's words hit Wang Lun's key points. What he was most worried about was Gu Tianjie's identity. Now that he heard Zhao Yan's words, he suddenly broke Wang Lun's luck mentality, making his face pale again, and his face showed a look of fear. You must know that he had no foundation in the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty court pursued this matter, the fate of their family would be completely in the hands of the other party. Even the tragedy of the Gu family's execution that year would have happened to him.

Seeing the change of expression on Wang Lun's face, everyone present could also conclude that everything Gu Tianjie said before should be true, which made Sima Guang's old face flushed with shame. After talking to Wang Lun, he felt that the other party was knowledgeable and should be a knowledgeable and talented person, but he did not expect that he was a villain with no virtue. If such a person was allowed to enter the court, he would probably be a laughing stock in the future.

Gu Tianjie could no longer speak at this time, but after hearing Zhao Yan's words, he also showed a gratitude to him. Zhao Yan nodded to him and signaled him to take a break. Then Zhao Yan continued: "Mother, my husband, you may not know Gu Tianjie very much, but for me, Gu Tianjie is a friend who shares life and death with me. When I was wandering to the Jurchens, I saw Gu Tianjie who was paralyzed all over. At that time, he could have exposed my false lie of forming a fake alliance, but he did not. Instead, he helped me cover it up many times. It was from then on that I learned that he was persecuted by the Liao Kingdom because of his heart to the Song Dynasty and had to escape to the wild land in the extreme north. If he had to take care of his young daughter, he would have been unable to survive long ago..."

Zhao Yan said that he talked about the process of acquaintance between Jurchens and Gu Tianjie in detail, which particularly highlighted that it was not easy for Gu Tianjie to survive. Then he talked about Gu Tianjie's contributions when he was brought back to the Song Dynasty. Speaking of Gu Tianjie, he was the first moral instructor of the military academy. His national theory was also accepted by teachers and students of the military academy, and even passed on to the Academy of Governance and Physical Sciences, and it was spread more widely through the academy. Therefore, Gu Tianjie's influence has long been not limited to the military academy, but has had a significant impact among many young scholars, strengthening the scholar's idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Sima Guang and others knew that Gu Tianjie was just a small virtue instructor, and they still looked down upon him. However, after listening to Zhao Yan's story, they were very sympathetic to Gu Tianjie's experience and admired his contribution to the Song Dynasty. This also made their eyes look at Wang Lun a little bad. After all, they were both officials of the Song Dynasty, so they were naturally closer to Gu Tianjie.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan was also secretly happy. He bowed to Empress Dowager Gao behind the pearl curtain and said again: "Mother, Gu Tianjie was in Liao Kingdom and was devastated by his heart, which led to the family destruction. After that, he suffered a lot and came to the Song Dynasty and made considerable contributions to our Song Dynasty. It is really respectable and admirable. Now the enemy who reported him was right in front of him. My son asked his mother to make the decision for Gu Tianjie, otherwise even if he died, he would not be able to rest in peace!"

"I am also willing to beg the Empress Dowager for Gu Tianjie to make the decision for him!" As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, Su Shi was the first to agree. He knew better than anyone else about Gu Tianjie's experience. If it weren't for Zhao Yan's presence, he would have helped Gu Tianjie fight against him just now.

Su Shi was the first, and then Su Song also expressed his intention to ask Empress Dowager Gao to make the decision for Gu Tianjie. Chen Shengzhi and several other ministers also made statements one after another, and even Sima Guang stood on Gu Tianjie's side. Although he was Wang Lun's recommender, he was deceived by Wang Lun in advance. Now that he knew Wang Lun's true face, he naturally would not be with the other party anymore. In this regard, he was more informative than Wang Anshi.

Seeing so many people plead for Gu Tianjie, Empress Dowager Gao naturally could not have violated the wishes of so many ministers because of just Wang Lun, let alone Zhao Yan, so she finally spoke to Wang Lun: "Wang Lun, Gu Tianjie accused you of reporting him to the Liao Kingdom, which led to the execution of their Gu family. Do you admit your guilt in this matter?"

"I..." Wang Lun originally wanted to force himself to not admit his guilt, but he suddenly thought that even if he did not admit his guilt, it was not difficult to find out the truth of the matter back then with the ability of the Song Dynasty. What's more, his family is now in the Song Dynasty. If he angered the Song Dynasty, he would probably not even think of leaving alive if dozens of people from the Wang family were left.

Thinking of the above, Wang Lun also became dejected and finally nodded powerlessly: "I confessed my guilt. I was jealous of Gu Tianjie's talent back then, and I often heard him say something in front of me that rejected the Liao Kingdom's closeness to the Song Dynasty. I reported him to the Liao Kingdom in a moment of confusion. However, this matter was just my own actions and had nothing to do with my family. I hope the Song Dynasty can be handled impartially and not implicated my family!"

Seeing that Wang Lun finally confessed his guilt, Gu Tianjie finally smiled when he was dying. Then Zhou Tong, who slowly closed his eyes, supported him, only felt Gu Tianjie's body sinking, and then his bones made a heart-wrenching cry. In fact, Gu Tianjie's body was no longer good, and he only had to hold on with one last breath. Now that he saw Wang Lun confessing his guilt, his last wish was fulfilled, so he naturally left without any worries.

When Zhao Yan saw that Gu Tianjie had passed away peacefully, he was stunned for a while and it took him a long time to react. At this time, the bones were still crying. However, this was the Chuigong Hall, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to be so noisy as her. Zhao Yan was afraid that Empress Dowager Gao would blame him, so he saluted behind the pearl curtain and said, "Gu Tianjie has a deep affection, and I hope that the queen of mother will not blame him!"

As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, before Empress Dowager Gao could answer, she saw the crying bone suddenly wiping tears. She walked a few steps and knelt down to Empress Dowager Gao behind the pearl curtain and said, "The civilian woman begged the empress dowager to kill the enemy with her own hands and avenge the lives of my grandfather, grandmother, and dozens of people from the Gu family!"

"Huh? You, a little woman, dares to kill someone?" Empress Dowager Gao was surprised when she heard the words of Jitou. Jitou grew up in Wanyan before she was a teenager. She was malnourished by hunger and fullness, so she grew thinner. Although she had eaten well and lived well in recent years, she missed the best age to grow up, so she still looked petite and delicate. So Empress Dowager Gao was so surprised when she heard Jitou wanted to kill her enemy with her own hands to take revenge.

"As long as the empress dowager allows, the civilian woman dares!" Bottom was originally a wild girl, and she was shockingly brave. At this time, she had just experienced the pain of her close relative's death, so she had no scruples. As for Zhou Tong, although he felt that his wife's actions were a bit inappropriate, he did not dare to stop him because he knew the consequences of Bottom's crazy.

"This is interesting. Judging from your thin and weak appearance, the Ai family really can't believe that you dare to kill your enemy!" Empress Dowager Gao paused at this point, as if she was really thinking about something, and then chuckled, "Okay, anyway, the crimes committed by Wang Lun are also death sentences, so the Ai 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 his own hands, she meant that after interrogating Wang Lun's crimes, she gave him to Wang Lun with his own hands. However, Bone believed that Wang Lun had pleaded guilty 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 going to do?" Wang Lun was frightened to retreat after seeing Bottom's murderous look on his face, and a look of panic appeared on his face. Empress Dowager Gao also realized something was wrong at this time. She was about to stop Bottom from committing murder, but she didn't expect Bottom to roar and pounced on Wang Lun with a roar.
