Chapter 7: The Brother and Sister in the Cabin

A team of blue-clothed guards rode out of the general's mansion at a gallop on high-headed horses.

The leader is Wei Rong.

In the moonlight, he rode on a silver-white sweaty horse, and his scarlet cloak was hunting and fluttering behind him, heroic and cool, but his expression was solemn.

A group of people galloped through the empty long street and headed straight for the east gate of Kyoto.

Wei Rong's departure from Beijing on an errand this time stemmed from the emperor's recent dreams.

This nightmare had plagued the emperor for seven days in a row.

In my dream, a large rusty lock was placed on a broken wooden door.

The sight inside the door is disgusting:

In the dim light, there were mountains of dirty clothes, leftovers and delicacies all over the floor, a few rats burrowing around, and flies and cockroaches flying freely, as if they had made this pickled house their paradise.

A broken wooden bed in the corner of the wall was covered with a dirty black and broken quilt, and the two heads were buried in the quilt, revealing dirty hair.

At the head of the bed, a pair of scissors is shocking.

The girl's treacherous cry for help filled the room: "It's me, it's me, it's me...... Save me, save me, save me......"

The voice came from the dream to the outside: "It's me, it's me, it's me...... Save me, save me, save me......"

When the emperor woke up from a dream, he heard the governor and the servant Ning Gonggong come to report: "The emperor is not good, the national teacher went mad in retreat and went." ”

The national teacher accidentally went mad during the retreat, and finally lost his breath and died of holding his breath, until he was discovered seven days later, and the emperor's strange dream happened to be seven days old.

The emperor expected that the dream was related to the death of the national teacher, so he ordered Wei Rong to leave Beijing to find someone.

The morning gate, who was in charge of the opening and closing of the city gate, saw that Wei Rong and his subordinates were the commander of the red man Ming Wei in front of him today, and did not dare to stop it, but immediately opened the city gate and released the people.

As soon as the city gate opened, Wei Rong and his entourage were about to step on their horses, but there was a carriage entering the city at this time, and the morning gate hurriedly went to stop it, and the girl in the carriage begged: "Because it is late to come back from the city to incense, please be accommodating at the morning gate." ”

Chenmen was reluctant to be accommodating, and the girl reported to her family that she was the fourth girl in the Anguo Mansion.

Chenmen said who knows if it's fake.

Wei Rong said to Chenmen: "Whether it is a girl from the Guogong Mansion or not, the girl is alone outside the city, and it is the middle of the night, it is always dangerous, it is better to make it convenient." ”

Wei Rong pleaded, how could there be no one in the morning gate? So let the girl's carriage enter the city, and Wei Rong and his party went out of the city.

The morning gate closed the gate again, but saw that the girl's carriage had not left.

A maid came out of the carriage, gave Chenmen a piece of silver, and asked, "Who is the one who went out of the city at the right time?" ”

Chenmen said: "That's the commander of the Ming Guard, the Han general Wei Rong. ”

Wei Rong didn't know that his gesture had planted a love root in the heart of Miss Zhusi.

In accordance with the dream instructions given by the emperor, Wei Rong and his entourage overcame obstacles and galloped all the way, and finally arrived at a dilapidated wooden house a few days later.

Wei Rong's gaze fell on the rusty lock on the wooden door, which was no different from the scene the emperor described in his dream, and this was the right place.

The lock was knocked open, and the guard Qin Niu Zhengwei led a few Ming guards to break into the cabin, and in a moment, the sound of a girl screaming came out.

Wei Rong turned over and dismounted, and entered the cabin.

But on a dirty wooden bed covered with a black quilt, a young girl with scissors in hand watched them vigilantly, and behind her lay a chubby, demented, middle-aged fool.

Half a month later, Wei Rong successfully brought the man and woman back to the capital and took them to the palace to restore their lives.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Wei Rong told the emperor about the life history of the two: "It is a pair of sisters and brothers, both parents died, and they were imprisoned in a small wooden house by their grandmother for twenty years. ”

"Why did their grandmother do that?" Emperor Changming asked.

"It is said that the mother of the sisters and brothers is because the father of the sisters and brothers died, and the grandmother feels sorry for her daughter, so she wants to take revenge on their father by abusing the two children, this level is 20 years, it is completely stupid for the sisters and brothers, and now, the grandmother has passed away."

After listening to Wei Rong's report, Emperor Changming felt incredible, is there such a stupid grandmother in the world? Isn't the abusive son-in-law's child also his daughter's child, his own grandson? Aren't you afraid that the daughter under Jiuquan will be distressed and resentful?

Now that this grandmother has also died, let her go underground and explain it to her daughter.

The emperor is just a little strange, why did such an unrelated pair of siblings fall into his dream?

So Emperor Changming summoned the two siblings.

The Governor and the Servant Ning Gonggong led the two sisters and brothers to the Xuanzheng Hall to see Emperor Changming, Emperor Changming couldn't help but be surprised, that sister was thirty years old, but she looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger brother was obviously a middle-aged man in his thirties, and he had been locked up stupidly, and his sister was still normal.

The emperor thought that it was no wonder that the nobles were particular about staying at home, and even if they went out, they had to wear a fence or hold an umbrella, for fear that they would be exposed to the wind and rain and the sun, and their faces would become ugly and their skin would become rough. Not to mention the fact that the woman who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old in front of her was not old, her skin was still fair and delicate, and she was blown through, which was really a miraculous thing.

The overseer led his sister and brother in, and said like a child, "You two come and see the emperor." ”

The overseer felt that the sister and brother were fools, and they should speak well and coax, lest they make a mistake in the Xuanzheng Hall and collide with the emperor.

The younger brother was still obedient, and when he asked him to kneel, he knelt, but the elder sister was still standing.

"Girl, come and see the emperor!" Father-in-law Ning urged again.

My sister opened her mouth and said, "Your Majesty, it's a poor way!" ”

The emperor was taken aback, thinking of the death of the national teacher's retreat, so he dismissed Wei Rong and the others, and asked the governor to lead his younger brother to retreat, leaving his sister alone for questioning.

"Who do you say you are?" The Emperor has stepped down from the Imperial Case.

My sister said, "Your Majesty, it's a poor way." ”

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and the emperor said tentatively, "You are the national teacher?" ”

"The emperor's eyes are like torches, and he can be regarded as recognizing the poor way." The woman smiled, looking like an innocent little girl.

Emperor Changming relied on the national teacher very much, although he was able to become the emperor, and the left and right prime ministers designed to pull down the king of Zhongshan, which also had the credit of the national teacher, so Emperor Changming ascended the throne after the courtesy of the national teacher was unmatched.

The national teacher visited the emperor on weekdays, and Emperor Changming also deliberately exempted him from the number of courtesies, no need to kneel or luggage, which shows the emperor's reliance on the national teacher, but the national teacher died during the retreat, which was a big blow to Emperor Changming, but fortunately, the national teacher borrowed the corpse to return the soul.

"It's great that I haven't lost my arm." The emperor was excited.

Wei Rong ended his half-month search trip and returned to the General's Mansion, only to find that in addition to the Yu Tao bought by the Nanfeng Pavilion, his sister Wei Ruhua's courtyard had another face.

It's only been half a month, and I like the new and hate the old, and it's inevitably too fast.

Wei Ruhua said: "It's not the blessing of my brother, this new face and flame heart was sent by the fourth girl of the Anguo Mansion." ”
