After worrying for five or six days, the verdict of the imperial court finally came down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Chuting violated the military aircraft, fined him for half a year, compensated the family of the deceased with 50 taels of silver, and was demoted to General Congsanpin Yunlu.

For such a punishment, Yang Chuting has long been aware of it, and he doesn't feel anything, after hearing about it from Guan Wei, Yu Ruyan, who was far away in Tongguan, not only regretted that he had affected Yang Chuting, but also secretly rejoiced that he was only punished and demoted.

Unbeknownst to him, another holy decree was quietly being sent to Tongguan.

"Yu Ruyan takes the order." The voice of the eunuch came.

Guan Wei and Yu Ruyan hurriedly came out to receive the order. Yu Ruyan knelt on the ground, only listening to the eunuch who said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, since Yu Ruyan took office, she has been deeply disappointed, has no repentance, and has repeatedly made trouble in Tongguan, destroying the unity of the border guards. I was heartbroken, dismissed Yu Ruyan from all official positions, and sent Mobei to admire this. ”

"The Ministers are grateful. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

"Jade Book, the emperor is extremely dissatisfied with your behavior in Tongguan, you are ready to pack up and leave immediately."

"I know, I'll leave tomorrow." Yu Ruyan looked at the two officials who escorted her.

Han Wei sighed: "Pity the book, a woman, will be sent to Mobei to suffer. It's the middle of winter, and I don't know what the cold looks like over there. ”

"It's okay, I'm the same everywhere." Yu Ruyan said.

Han Wei said: "I will instruct my subordinates to take care of you." ”

"Thank you General Han for taking care of me these days." Yu Ruyan saluted and said, "Say goodbye today, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you again in the future, General Han, take care." ”

Han Wei said: "You also take care." ”

Mobei is miserable and barren, and the people are fierce, but Yu Ruyan is indifferent to the place she wants to go. Without Tang Yunluo, in fact, it is the same everywhere you go.

Seeing that the New Year was coming to an end, there was a scene of joyful welcome to the New Year everywhere, but Yu Ruyan was wearing chains on her hands and feet, escorted by two officials, and went to the bitter cold land.

"Miss Yu, don't worry, before we leave Beijing, Lord Xiao and General Chu have already explained to us, and we will treat the girl well along the way."

Yu Ruyan nodded and said with a light smile: "Thank you two poor masters." ”

The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August.

Yu Ruyan was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and headed all the way north. The farther north you go, the more bitter the wind becomes, and it hurts to cut jade. This winter seems to be extremely cold, Yu Ruyan's feet have been frozen to the point of being unconscious, the snow is thick enough to reach her calves, and the biting cold makes her knees red and swollen.

It snowed again, and the snowflakes fell like goose feathers, and the cold north wind blew so hard that people couldn't open their eyes.

Yu Ruyan thought that when she was a child, her family was also ruined and she was outcast, but fortunately she met Emperor Chen Wendi. More than ten years have passed, and no one will come to save him in this exile.

Yu Ruyan's lips turned purple from the cold, and she stumbled all the way.

On the mountainside in the distance, a man stood proudly, standing there looking at Yu Ruyan. The man's fists clenched tightly. A tear slipped down the man's face, and before it reached the ground, it had frozen into ice. It wasn't until Yu Ruyan's figure disappeared in the vast white snow that she turned around and left.

In the capital hundreds of miles away, Zhao Wenzheng stood in front of the Qianyuan Palace, standing with his hands in his hands. Xiao Muzi bent down to report: "Your Majesty, the people have already set off." ”

"Got it." Zhao Wenzheng waved his hand, and Xiao Muzi retreated.

Looking at the snow on the ground in front of Qianyuan Palace, he sighed.

Similarly, Yang Chuting stood on the city tower, looking into the distance with remorse. If she hadn't been reckless that day, she wouldn't have been sent to a bitter cold place to suffer and suffer when the weather was cold. Yang Chuting has already played Zhao Wenzheng and asked for the border guard. I just want to be closer, closer.

And the most silent person is Xiao Feiqing.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was burning with charcoal, and the whole mansion was as warm as spring, but Xiao Feiqing's heart was as cold as being covered by snowflakes.

A red post, with a faint scent of orchids, was written with the name and birth date of a woman in the capital - this is what Zhao Wenzheng meant.

Xiao Feiqing has seven out of twenty, and he has already reached the age when he should get married. After being the chief assistant of the two dynasties, his family background was prominent, and his status above 10,000 people in the Chen Dynasty was above 10,000 people, and many people in the capital revealed that they wanted to get married. Zhao Wenzheng followed this reason, directly selected some women of the same age and good background among the high-ranking ladies, and drafted a list and sent it to Xiao Feiqing's house.

Xiao Feiqing took the roster and felt that it was hot, so he threw it on the ground casually.

Lao Xiangguo walked over, picked up the list, and said, "This was personally selected by the emperor, how can you throw it on the ground?" ”

"I don't want it at all." Xiao Feiqing said lightly.

"Whether you want it or not, you have to accept it." The old minister said, "The king is a minister, this is the emperor's holy decree, do you dare to disobey?" ”

Xiao Feiqing was silent.

Lao Xiangguo continued: "Actually, my father knows who you are thinking in your heart. But she has now been sent to Mobei, and her life and death are uncertain. Feiqing, it doesn't matter who you marry, what matters is your future and the status of our Xiao family. ”

"Isn't my happiness important?" Xiao Feiqing asked sadly.

Lao Xiangguo sighed: "Men are ambitious in all directions, and they should not be bound by their children's affection." The three generations of the Yang family are loyal and martyred, but they are so embarrassed because of a He family, maybe the Yang family's today is our Xiao family's tomorrow. Feiqing, you are the bloodline of the Xiao family, and when necessary, you should make some sacrifices for the family. Look at your cousin, the emperor's concubine in the next year, she is willing to invite herself into the palace. A woman is willing to sacrifice for her family, let alone a seven-foot man? ”

Xiao Feiqing took the name card in Lao Xiangguo's hand, and heard his father sigh: "Feiqing, if you hate, hate yourself for being a member of the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Feiqing looked out the window and thought sadly: She is not in front of her, and her heart is dead, why should I be obsessed? My father is right, my sister is willing to sacrifice her lifelong happiness and voluntarily enter the palace to choose a concubine the year after tomorrow, am I not even as good as my sister?

"Father, that's her." Xiao Feiqing casually pointed to a name on it.

Who to marry, Xiao Feiqing doesn't care anymore. Since it can't be her in this life, what does it matter who the person next to the pillow is?

The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, since ancient times, everyone has lived like this. Xiao Feiqing smiled bitterly, either or not.

Lao Xiangguo knew Xiao Feiqing's mood at this time, and took the list to take a look, Xiao Feiqing pointed to Chu Yang's sister Chu Han. Lao Xiangguo nodded, took the list and left.

The wind and snow in Mobei were cold, and Yu Ruyan walked for nearly a month before arriving at the border with the Xiongnu in Mobei of Chen State. Yu Ruyan was arranged in the Huan Wash, responsible for washing and sewing clothes for the border soldiers.

At this time, it is already the end of the year.

Although it is a border, there is still some New Year's atmosphere. People's hopes for a better New Year are not diminished by the cold weather and the poverty of life, but rather pay more attention to the New Year's wishes.

Two days before coming to Mobei, Yu Ruyan was so cold that she couldn't sleep. Although his body was covered with a thick quilt, his hands and feet were still cold. In addition, the weather is extremely cold, it is difficult to have hot water, and the water that washes her face and drinks is ice water, and Yu Ruyan has stomach pain for several days.

It was almost Chinese New Year's Eve, and the border soldiers would gather once on Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was a shortage of manpower in the military kitchen, so Yu Ruyan and several women were transferred to help in the kitchen.

The border pass is bitterly cold, even under the New Year's Festival, there is nothing to eat, the defenders are stationed hard at the border pass, and every year the kitchen hopes to make some new tricks to comfort the soldiers.

Two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, the kitchen had steamed more than a dozen baskets of white noodle steamed buns, killed more than a dozen pigs, cut the meat, and prepared to burn it on Chinese New Year's Eve. Naturally, there were no fresh vegetables, only the cabbage stored in the cellar and the pickled dried greens were also taken out. This year, the kitchen also specially prepared goat's milk gnocchi for the soldiers to drink.

How does the chef calculate, how do you think that the dishes are still missing. Yu Ruyan suggested that the radish from the cellar could be boiled in the stew, which not only dissolved the greasy meat of the stew, but also made the radish sweeter. You can also go to the surface of the river to fish, the river has been frozen, and a few people with great strength have gone to dig ice to get fish. The fish caught are disemboweled, marinated with salt and ginger, and the big fish is stewed and the small fish are fried on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the early morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole kitchen was already busy. The noodles and noodles, the washing of vegetables, the boiling of meat, in the blink of an eye, it is already evening. Yu Ruyan cut the rest of the vegetables into cubes, stir-fried them with the broth of the stew, and poured them on the hot noodle soup, which immediately increased her appetite. The soldiers all said that as soon as they entered the canteen, a smell of meat entered their noses, and even some people passed by the kitchen, and they couldn't help but drool. This year's stewed meat is fat but not greasy, the radish is fragrant, the cabbage is soft and glutinous, the stewed fish is delicious, the fried fish is served with wine, the steamed buns are soft, and even the noodles are smooth and fragrant. The soldiers ate exceptionally happily.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, people are celebrating the New Year, except for one person who is sad.

At this time last year, Yu Ruyan was still having a reunion dinner at Yang Chuting's house, Tang Yunluo and Tang Rao were both there, and Zhao Wenzheng also came to join in the excitement and took the children to set off fireworks.

However, when did that laughing boy become a cold-blooded emperor?

In a year, the Yang family collapsed, Yunluo was innocently given to death, and he was exiled to the border as a slave.
