Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 177 Anxious Yao Guangyun!

"Isn't this your connector outside the palace?"

"Why is the other party also a court official?"

"Or the big red official robe?"

"How is this going?"

Xu Shouyun saw Yao Guangyun.

For a moment, the whole person froze in place.

In my mind, many thoughts emerged at this moment.

"Eunuch Xu? Master Xu?"

An official next to him called out to Xu Shouyun.

This official does not belong to the three parties in the court.

is a marginal figure.

Like Xu Shouyun, he is also an official of the fifth rank.

The official positions of the Great Wei are actually similar to those of later generations, with two systems of rank and position.

High grade does not mean great power.

Depends on what your job is.

Like Xu Shouyun, although he is only a fifth rank, he is in charge of Dongchang, and tens of thousands of people rely on him, so he can be said to be a real power figure.

And this official, although also a fifth-rank, is a civil official who repairs history books and has no real power.

Let alone oil and water.

Live on that little money every year.

"Ok?"

Xu Shouyun came back to his senses.

Yao Guangyun has gone far.

At this time, it is not good to rush forward to say hello.

"Master Xu, my historian Zhou Feng, if you have time, why don't you go to a teahouse for a meeting?"

Zhou Feng said with a smile.

He is independent.

The actions of the three parties themselves are not cold.

So never walk with those officials.

Of course, this is also related to his powerlessness.

Zhou Feng was very interested in the newly established Lord of the East Factory in the court.

At such a young age, he was able to rank among the fifth rank and control the East Factory.

There are some other thoughts in mind.

"Master Zhou is polite, please!"

Xu Shouyun was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Immediately back to God.

What does a historian want to do with himself?

Is it the people of the three parties?

Shouldn't it?

Someone came to touch me on the first day I went to court?
Someone came to win him over?

Xu Shouyun had guessed about this.

Converge your thoughts and don't think so much anymore.

Regardless of what the other party thinks, agree first and then talk.

Then the two of them walked directly towards the teahouse not far from the street outside the palace.

Opened a private room.

After Duan sat down, Xu Shouyun spoke up.

"I don't know what Master Zhou is looking for next time?"

It's a bit interesting for a historian to contact himself when he first went to court.

You know, after retiring from the court, it takes more than ten minutes to walk from the court hall to the gate of the palace.

During this journey, there was not a single official who greeted him.

He happened to come together.

"It's nothing important, I just want to get to know Mr. Xu!"

Zhou Feng picked up the teacup and took a casual sip.

Xu Shouyun heard it, but did not believe it.

He has been an official for more than ten years, would he do such a reckless thing?

He expressed disbelief.

Zhou Feng seemed to have sensed Xu Shouyun's thoughts, and immediately spoke again: "Master Xu, I, Zhou Feng, have been an official in the court for 18 years and have never joined any party. I have always been a marginal figure in the court."

He picked up his teacup and took another sip.

"From the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to the reporter of Dali Temple, to the historian who compiled history, the attendant, and finally to the current servant!"

Zhou Feng put down the teacup in his hand and laughed at himself.

"This court hall is not a court hall. I don't know what Master Xu thinks?"

When Xu Shouyun heard it, he realized that there was meaning in the other party's words.

On the surface, it seems to be complaining, but it is actually testing.

interesting.

Xu Shouyun did not expect that there would be such a person in the hall.

"The court is always the court, the court of His Majesty, this will never change!"

Xu Shouyun didn't fall for the opponent's trap.

He now probably understands why the other party is looking for him.

And Zhou Feng's eyes lit up when he heard Xu Shouyun's words.

"Master Xu..."

Xu Shouyun interrupted the other party's words, and said lightly: "Drink tea!"

How can an official who can be a historian and recorder be a fake person?
This is a misunderstanding, to be corrected!

A person who can stand in the court without joining the three parties, and who has survived for more than ten years, even if he is a historian with no power or power, is still a capable historian.

Xu Shouyun understood that Zhou Feng came to find him today because he came to seek refuge.

What he said just now is also very simple, just a cliché.

Although what Dongchang did a while ago was very secretive, anyone in the court could see it if they wanted to.

The East Factory belongs to His Majesty.

But Zhou Feng's intention was even simpler this time.

Take refuge in His Majesty.

Although Zhou Feng was a little impatient, he still picked up his teacup and took a sip when he heard what Xu Shouyun said.

Xu Shouyun drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Master Zhou, we smart people don't speak secret words or hide them anymore. I know the reason for your visit, but now is not the time, do you understand?"

What Xu Shouyun said was straightforward.

Now is not the time.

The East Factory has not yet developed.

This is not a good time to be in the limelight.

Only when the Dongchang develops, then is the time to absorb people.

When Zhou Feng heard this, he immediately understood.

Being inactive for so many years doesn't mean he's stupid, it's just that he has his own bottom line.

"Understood!"

Zhou Feng nodded to express his understanding.

The two of them didn't chat much after that.

……

Leave the teahouse and return to Dongchang.

Xu Shouyun simply ate something.

He leisurely returned to the palace.

Since having the identity of Dongchang, the treatment of the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Along the way, greetings from various eunuchs, court ladies, and imperial guards were heard.

For Xu Shouyun, it was a kind of enjoyment, the enjoyment of power.

……

Chen Yun is feeling very uncomfortable these days.

I dare not go back to the East Factory.

He was afraid, afraid of Xu Shouyun.

He was afraid of death for treating him like that that day.

So, for the past few days, he has fulfilled the tasks of going out to the East Factory.

A majestic one thousand households, down to the point of competing with ten and hundreds of households for the task, Chen Yun only felt that he had lost all face.

But there is no way!

He is afraid!

I really regret why I was so cheap that day!
Sitting in a restaurant in the southern suburbs of Kyoto, he drank heavily, with an ugly expression on his face.

"No, I can't go on like this anymore, I have to find a way."

Chen Yun immediately thought of his backer, the young son of King Qin.

Thinking of this, he got up immediately, threw a piece of silver, and left the restaurant!

……

And in Kyoto.

Yao Guangyun returned to the government office.

This was a sigh of relief.

Although there were many controversies at today's court meeting, his mind was not on it.

Instead, he has been secretly watching Xu Shouyun.

Fortunately, my position is at the front, and Xu Shouyun's position is in the middle.

There is some distance between the two.

Originally, I thought that today's court meeting would just go by like this.

As a result, after leaving the palace, the other party actually saw him.

Obviously, that look definitely recognized him.

Thinking of this, Yao Guangyun couldn't calm down.

I always feel that this is not a thing.

At this time, a eunuch suddenly came.

"Lord Yao, His Majesty ordered that Lord Yao be invited into the palace!"

……
