Chapter eight hundred and fourth bone revenge
Empress Dowager Gao regarded Bones as an ordinary woman in the Song Dynasty, but she didn't know that Bones grew up with the Jurchens, and the children there dared to kick the heads as balls. Killing people is actually no different from killing a chicken for them. Bones who grew up in this environment will naturally not be afraid of killing people, let alone the other party is her enemy.
It is precisely because of this that the method of killing people by bones is very clean and neat. Although Wang Lun felt something was wrong and wanted to dodge backwards, bones jumped in front of him, and the hairpin in his hand stabbed Wang Lun's neck fiercely. Wang Lun was just a scholar, and he was old and could not dodge at all. In a panic, he instinctively blocked his arm, which made the bone twitch and hit his shoulder. This made him scream and hurriedly retreat.
However, the bone was determined to kill Wang Lun with his own hands to avenge the whole family, so he immediately pulled out his hairpin without hitting the blow and stabbed it again. As a result, Wang Lun could not dodge his shoulder again. Although he did not hurt the vital point, he was also bleeding. At the same time, Wang Lun fell to the ground in pain. At this time, the bone stabbed again for the third time. Wang Lun could no longer dodge, and his arm was pressed by the other hand of the bone. As a result, his throat was stabbed by the bone. This caused his whole body to twitch a few times, and then he stopped moving again.
It was not until this time that the other people in the hall reacted. Unfortunately, the bones had stabbed Wang Lun to death at this time, and the blood was winding along the ground, which made the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall scream. However, they soon thought of Empress Dowager Gao here, and they all covered their mouths in fear. As for Sima Guang and others, although they were shocked, they could at least maintain the demeanor of a prime minister and did not move when they stood there.
"Dingdengdeng~" Then the guards outside finally rushed over. When they saw a dead person lying on the ground, they were all scared and ran away. They immediately pulled out their weapons and wanted to control the bones that killed people.
"Stop," Zhao Yan shouted immediately. He didn't expect that Bottom's movements were so fast. In the blink of an eye, he stabbed Wang Lun to death, which made him feel a little headache. Because this is the Chuigong Hall, Bottom kills people in front of Empress Dowager Gao as at least a crime of ruthlessness, and this is to be exiled.
The imperial guards in the palace recognized Zhao Yan. When they saw him stopping him, they didn't know whether to arrest or release him for a while. They had to stand there and look at Zhao Yan, and then look at Empress Dowager Gao behind the pearl curtain, waiting for them to have a definite result.
Although she couldn't see the expression of Empress Dowager Gao behind the pearl curtain, she probably was as shocked as Sima Guang and others. After a while, she finally spoke: "So brave. Although the Ai family promised to ask you to take revenge with you, you actually dared to kill people in the Chuigong Hall. It's really..."
Hearing the bad tone in Empress Dowager Gao's words, Zhou Tong, who was originally holding Gu Tianjie's body, was extremely anxious. At that moment, he picked up Gu Tianjie's body, then took a few steps and knelt down heavily and interrupted Empress Dowager Gao's words: "The Empress Dowager calmed down. My wife grew up in a barbarian land since childhood, and her father-in-law was seriously ill. She could not teach her etiquette, so she did such a rude thing. However, as the saying goes, she followed her husband. I am willing to bear the faults she made."
"The Queen Mother is the one who was sent to the Jurchen guard Zhou Tong. If he had not been protected by him, he would have died in the mountains and forests of the extreme north. Moreover, the Queen Mother and Gu Tianjie and his daughter depended on each other for life. Although Bones did not know etiquette, they were very filial to their father. Since she was sensible, she has always been taking care of the seriously ill Gu Tianjie. Today, Gu Tianjie passed away. She must have been extremely sad and wanted to fulfill her final wish for her deceased father. In addition, she had received the Queen Mother's permission, and misunderstood the Queen Mother's intention for a while. This was why she did such a reckless thing and asked Queen Mother to forgive her." At this time, Zhao Yan also came forward again to plead for Bones, and at the same time pointed out that Zhou Tong had saved his life, so he would not sit idly by and watch Bones be punished for it.
Empress Dowager Gao was actually a little depressed, because as Zhao Yan said at the end, she agreed to let her take revenge with her, but because the other party did not understand the rules, the accident caused. To be honest, when she saw that the bones on her small body burst out with such a great force and stabbed Wang Lun to death with just a hairpin, it also caused a lot of shock to her. She never thought that there was such a fierce woman in this world.
At this time, Botou finally knew that he had done something wrong. He came to Zhou Tong without saying a word and then knelt down with his husband. However, when he saw the father's body in his husband's arms, tears also burst out again, dripping one by one on the hall.
"Empress Dowager, although she does not know etiquette, she is filial to her father. Although the incident just now is reckless, it is understandable, and it is even comparable to the women in the biographies of women. If it is spread, it will be a good talk. So I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to be kind to avoid the crime of ceremonial offense." At this time, Su Shi also came from shock and realized that he was also an acquaintance of Bottom, so he naturally helped him speak.
Maybe it was because he was concerned about Zhao Yan, or Su Shi had a great face. After a moment of silence, Empress Dowager Gao finally sighed and said, "Well, since King Yue and Grand Secretary Su are willing to plead for you, the little woman, the Ai family will not be this evil person. If you think about your life experience, you will not be investigated."
When he heard Empress Dowager Gao's words, Zhou Tong, who was kneeling there, also looked ecstatic. He hurriedly thanked Empress Dowager Gao. Although his bones were still a little confused, he knew that he was fine. He kowtowed Empress Dowager Gao with Zhou Tong. Seeing that Zhou Tong was still holding Gu Tianjie's body in his arms, he could not stay in the hall forever, so he asked the couple to go back, at least he had to deal with Gu Tianjie's funeral first. As for Wang Lun's body, someone naturally carried it out, and the hall was cleaned up.
Seeing that the matter was over, and Zhao Yan and Gu Tianjie were friends, Zhao Yan would attend his funeral anyway, so he said to Empress Dowager Gao: "Mother, since Wang Lun's affairs have been over, my son will take his leave."
Although the relationship between Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Yan has eased, she did not want Zhao Yan to have too much government affairs, so she just wanted to agree to let Zhao Yan leave, but at this moment, an eunuch hurriedly ran in, then went behind the pearl curtain and said a few words to Empress Dowager Gao. As a result, she soon heard Empress Dowager Gao speak again: "King Yue, there are some new changes in the Jurchens. You know the situation there more, so stay and listen."
After Empress Dowager Gao finished speaking, the eunuch who reported the news immediately ran out hurriedly. After a while, he saw him bringing someone in. When Zhao Yan saw this person, he was also stunned because he was Xue Lang.
Xue Lang looked a little anxious. After stepping into the hall, he saluted Empress Dowager Gao and others, and then immediately reported: "Reported to the Emperor, the news came from the Liao Kingdom that a drastic change occurred within the Jurchens. The original leader Yingge was killed, and his nephew Aguda became the new leader."
"What? A Guda became the leader of Wanyan's tribe." Zhao Yan almost jumped up when he heard this news. He never expected that he had already tortured the Jurchens so badly, but the history of the Jurchens did not change much. In the end, A Guda became the leader of the Jurchens. If this continues, wouldn't the history of the previous life be repeated?
"Yes, Aguda not only became the new leader of the Wanyan tribe, but also led the Jurchens to bypass the Liao army from both east and west that attacked them, and raided the Tongzhou City where Yelu Jun was located. As a result, the Liao army in Tongzhou City was defeated. Yelu Jun fled in a panic and almost captured by the Jurchens." At this time, Xue Lang reported the report again.
"It's really amazing. He can bypass so many Liao troops and fight behind them. He is worthy of being a hero of a generation." Zhao Yan also changed his color when he heard this. Although Xue Lang seemed to say it easily, if you think about it carefully, Aguda had to bypass the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of Liao troops and have the remaining strength to attack Tongzhou City where Yelu Jun is located. This is not something that ordinary generals can do, which makes Zhao Yan even more afraid of Aguda.
"King of Yue, who is this Aguda? Why do you feel so afraid?" At this time, Gao Taihuang saw Zhao Yan's performance and said in confusion. Sima Guang and others were also very surprised by Zhao Yan's performance, because in their opinion, Zhao Yan seemed to be confident and calm in everything, but this time he heard that Aguda took the position of Jurchen leader and made him lose his composure, so they couldn't help but become a little interested in Aguda.
"Qi Bian's mother, Aguda is the son of the former leader of Wanyan tribe, Silibo, who was killed in anger by me. I had met him when I was in Wanyan tribe, but he was still a child less than ten years old at that time. But he didn't expect that after so many years, he actually killed his uncle and retake the position of leader of Wanyan tribe." Zhao Yan could not explain the terrible consequences that Aguda might have after becoming the leader of the Jurchen tribe, so he could only tell that he had a grudge against Aguda to kill his father.
"So that's it. If you kill Aguda's father, now he becomes the leader of the Jurchens. It is definitely impossible to form an alliance with our Song Dynasty. Fortunately, their main enemy is the Liao Kingdom. If there is Liao Kingdom blocking us, there is no need to worry." Empress Dowager Gao said again at this time, with a little disregard in her tone. After all, in her opinion, the Jurchens are too far from the Song Dynasty, and there is Liao Kingdom blocking it in the middle. Although the Liao Kingdom has declined a little in recent years, it is still the most powerful country besides the Song Dynasty. A Jurchen is probably only able to consume some energy, and it is even more impossible to destroy the Liao Kingdom and threaten the Song Dynasty.
However, Zhao Yan knew that Empress Dowager Gao underestimated the Jurchens too much. If he did not interfere, the Jurchens would probably sweep the land of Liao in a few years. It would be the Song Dynasty's turn to have a headache for them.
