Chapter 979(1/2)
In the cold winter, the weather is cold and the earth is frozen.
Especially in the winter in the north, it's so cold...
But even so, there are still convoys rushing in the cold wind, experiencing snow against the wind and not afraid of the severe cold.
This team of chariots comes from the Xiao clan and comes from the Shi family's legitimate branch...
Two of them are the most sensitive.
One is Shi Peng, Shi Wen’s youngest son.
One is the deposed emperor Xiao Yan, the last emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty.
Wherever the convoy passes, it will attract everyone's attention.
Everyone went out to the street to see the strange things regardless of the cold.
pity……
I only saw a gray carriage.
Everyone was in the carriage, covered with thick quilts, and even their hair was unwilling to be exposed.
Boring!
"Kill them all!"
Someone said this casually, and many people echoed!
"Kill it, save food if you kill."
"Don't dream, Your Majesty's two elder sisters, one is granted the title of Mrs. Wei and the other is granted the title of Mrs. Chu. None of these people will die unless someone deliberately seeks death."
Who would deliberately seek death?
Shi Peng was drinking in the carriage, and he was lit up at the window, sighing for a long time, worrying about his future.
Xiao Yan was stunned and imprisoned for several years, as if he had taken away his energy and made him confused all day long.
It's so boring to live!
Xiao Yan wanted to die, but he couldn't commit suicide. He lacked the courage to commit suicide, so he was terrible.
He thought, whether to ask his fourth aunt to kill him, so that he could be completely free, say goodbye to this world, and be completely finished.
Then I thought, my mother would definitely not agree.
If he dies, the Xiao family's royal family's legitimate lineage will completely cut off the bloodline.
The last one!
He was very depressed, and life was meaningless to him.
The convoy passed by the station and stopped to rest.
The stations on the Northern Zhou Dynasty are not only large, but also fully functional.
The key is that the soldiers still have to pay the money before the inn can be settled.
"At that time, the stations were all free, so they could eat and drink casually."
Dingtao nagged.
Her son Xiao Bu whispered: "Mother said a few words. The post station of the Great Wei is worth money, but the Great Wei is no longer there. Besides, it's not asking us to pay."
"I was just curious and said casually, don't nag. I'll go see the deposed emperor."
Dingtao could see that the deposed emperor Xiao Yan was depressed and had no fighting spirit, and he looked like he was indifferent to life and death.
The food sent by the soldiers was placed on the table without any movement.
She sighed, "Your Majesty..."
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan looked in pain and shook his head repeatedly.
Dingtao immediately changed his words: "Big nephew, eat something! It's at least ten days and half a month away from the capital, following this weather. How can you not eat in such a cold day?
Alas, speaking of this, your mother was pregnant with you in the royal palace in the capital, and finally gave birth to you in Jianzhou City.
After so many years, you have not been to the north yet, so it is understandable that you are not used to the weather here. But you can’t ruin your body!”
In the room, the floor heating is very hot and warm.
If you wear thicker, you will feel sweaty.
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan had a pale and thin face, and his cheeks were concave.
He said slowly, "I have no appetite. Thank you for your concern, so go and rest."
"How can I rest if you don't eat? Eat a little bit! If you don't drink a few sips of soup to warm your stomach. I have promised your mother that you must take good care of you along the way. If you have a few shortcomings, I can't explain to your mother."
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan did not respond, he did not want to speak.
He hadn't seen his mother for many years. He was ashamed of his mother and had no face to see anyone.
Dingtao felt helpless.
She sighed, "I spent some money to find out about your mother. I heard that she had been granted the title of Mrs. Wei and had a mansion. When you arrive in the capital, you can defect to your mother. From now on, you will be an ordinary person, marry and have children, and live a stable life."
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and at least he had a reaction.
"If my aunt is so enthusiastic about taking care of me, wouldn't she be ungrateful? Don't worry, I won't die."
"But if you don't eat, you will die."
Unable to resist Dingtao, the deposed emperor Xiao Yan could only drink two sips of soup, eat two sips of vegetables, but the rice and steamed buns did not move at all.
Dingtao looked worried, how could it be possible to eat such a little?
"I asked someone to bring in a small stove and keep the food warm. Whenever you want to eat, you can eat it hot."
"Thank you aunt."
"If you call me aunt, how can I ignore you? Speaking of which, your situation seems to be bad, but in fact it is much better than our mother and son. At least, your mother will plead for you and let you live a normal life. We mother and son don't know where the future is?"
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan was slow for a while before speaking, "My aunt sent a letter to Ling Changzhi, there should be a reply."
Princess Dingtao said: "Your cousin is not Ling Changzhi's son, he is Ling Changfeng's son. Ling Changfeng can't count on him at all. If Ling Changzhi doesn't care, we mother and son will really have no choice.
I don’t know what the court planned. Could it be that my industries in Jianzhou really confiscated? Without these industries, how can we survive."
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan comforted her, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so don't worry too much."
"I should tell you this. What are you doing with worry all day long? If they wanted to kill you, they would have already made the ruling of the ruling in Jianzhou City. Now they sent us to the capital, it must not be to kill us. It is estimated that it is to move us out of Jianzhou and bring us back to our original form."
Speaking of this, Dingtao couldn't help but sigh.
"That Xiao Xun, you have to call yourself a cousin. I heard that I was teaching in the capital and made money by teaching. The descendants of the former kings and princes completely became ordinary people, and they had to pay taxes like other ordinary people. Who should I ask for advice?"
This is the first time that the deposed emperor Xiao Yan has heard of this.
"Xiao Xun?"
"Do you have an impression? He went to the Northern Wei Dynasty with his mother, and you were still young."
"I remember him."
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan suddenly said, "I remember that there is such a person. He really teaches in the capital? He lives the life of ordinary people?"
"Yes! This is absolutely true, I can't lie to you."
"Thank you aunt!"
"Thank me for what I'm doing. If you are willing to cheer up and eat a few more bites of food, it's better than anything else."
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan lowered his head and smiled.
At this moment, his mood suddenly improved, as if he had seen a beacon.
Dingtao held his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"What are you laughing at? You're so happy about it, do you want to eat a few more bites?"
The deposed emperor Xiao Yan said: "I suddenly thought of what I would do in the future. Maybe I really don't have to die."
"Bao, babe, babe... Why do you kid say you die all the time? It's ridiculous! Don't say it in the future."
Since this day, although the deposed emperor Xiao Yan is still thin, he has become much better.
He seemed to have found his life goal and had a little expectation for the capital.
...,
Their group finally arrived in the capital before the New Year and were placed in batches. They had no news about each other and could not meet each other.
A little panicked!
Everyone was a little panicked!
Every day, people from the yamen come to register for questions. The questions are all kinds of strange and full of all.
boom!
Firecrackers are ringing, it’s the New Year!
