Chapter 87 Messenger

Author: Sigui Beihong

The news that Mo Yunxiao became the first female minister in the Song Dynasty has spread a lot in Tokyo, and her defiance of the imperial edict has been compiled into a storybook and played back and forth among Goulanwashe. If it weren't for Song Wusao's firm prohibition, I'm afraid this would have happened

If so, I would have to talk about it in Fan Lou.

It has been six days since she was named the "Reconqueror within and outside the city". Although she did not leave the house, the gossip outside had already become rampant, which made her feel upset.

Annoyance creates chaos, and her heart is a mess.

The women who lost their virginity in Guifan Tower were indeed pitiable, but Zhao Ji fed such a mouthful of hot tofu into his mouth. He really couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out. I'm afraid it's hard for others to understand this kind of suffering.

So she hasn't seen anyone these days. Even Sister-in-law Song Wu and her family have been turned away. Logically speaking, as a guest, it is very rude to do this, but who calls her Mo Yunxiao, who calls her Mo Yunxiao?

The official newly appointed "Envoy of Punishment inside and outside the city".

At this time, she was sitting in front of the table. On the table was a set of exquisite tea sets, and the fragrance of mountain purple clouds spread everywhere. In her hand was an open book. She was pointing at the words on the book with her slender finger.

Move with the movement of your eyes.

Books of this era were all written in traditional Chinese characters, with no punctuation marks or annotations. The vertical arrangement undoubtedly made reading more difficult.

Of course, this was not all the obstacles. The noisy street market outside the window made her even more irritated. She could only close the hanging window tightly. Although it could block some sounds, it could not guarantee complete silence.

Mo Yunxiao had difficulty reading, so he could only point with his fingers and read word by word.

At this moment, the servant outside the door called softly: "Madam Mo, someone is here to see you."

"No, I don't see anyone." Mo Yunxiao frowned and said without raising his head.

"Why, could it be that after becoming an official, my wife no longer recognizes her old friends?" came a faint voice.

Mo Yunxiao's heart was shocked, and a rare smile appeared on her face. She hurriedly opened the door, and Mrs. Wei stood at the door and looked at her with a smile on her face.

Both of them smiled reservedly. Mo Yunxiao said to the boy, "I have something to say to Mrs. Wei. You can go ahead."

The boy agreed and left. Mo Yunxiao watched him leave, then took Mrs. Wei's hand and went into the house together.

"Yuru, you're here, I've been really worried these days." Mo Yunxiao said while pouring tea for Mrs. Wei.

But Mrs. Wei laughed, cupped her hands and said, "I would like to congratulate you first. There has never been a woman who can do errands since ancient times."

"Oh Yuru!" Mo Yunxiao handed the teacup to her and said with a hint of complaint, "Why are you making fun of me too?"

"I'm not sarcastic at you." Mrs. Wei sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "It's just that the news in Tokyo has become uproar now. Everyone is looking at you eagerly."

"Do you want me to make a fool of myself?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

"There is no shortage of people." Mrs. Wei did not refute. However, after saying this, her smile gradually faded.

She picked up the tea cake again with tweezers and put it into the soup bottle, and said: "In the past few days, not only the people have been talking about this, but also the court has been quarreling. My master, together with Xu General, Li Gefei, Li Qingchen and other senior ministers, tried their best to appeal to the government

Go up to Zhazi and hope that the officials can take back this fate."

"What did the officials say?" Mo Yunxiao asked curiously.

Mrs. Wei shook her head with a wry smile and said: "The officials fought against all opinions. Once the quarrel became so serious that they even revealed the Long Case, which frightened the ministers of the two governments and knelt on the ground."

"Why does he insist on asking me to do this?" Mo Yunxiao frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

"Well, our official family is really unpredictable." Mrs. Wei had already prepared a bowl of tea and distributed it to herself and Mo Yunxiao, and asked, "What are your plans?"

Mo Yunxiao sighed quietly and said, "What other plans can I have? Let me give it a try."

When Mrs. Wei was sipping tea, she glanced at the book on Mo Yunxiao's table, took it to take a look, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey! Our female dispatcher is planning to become a general again?" Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "Why is she even reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu?"

Mo Yunxiao smiled shyly: "When I'm at a loss, I can only comfort myself."

Mrs. Wei closed the book with a snap and said: "Know yourself and your enemy and you will fight a hundred battles. He Lu, if you want to break the current predicament, you only need to remember this sentence."

Mo Yunxiao still looked confused and asked: "Yu Ru, what do you mean by this?"

"Where did the decisive Mo Helu go? Why is he so sluggish?" Mrs. Wei said half-jokingly before explaining: "The official asked you to deal with the lost woman in Guifanlou. This is true.

It’s hard to be caught off guard. But if we analyze it carefully, we have three advantages and three disadvantages. This is the first step to become a confidant.”

"Oh?" Mo Yunxiao became more energetic. She couldn't help but straighten her body and asked, "What are three benefits?"

"One advantage lies in power." Mrs. Wei took a small tea bowl from the tea tray and placed it on the table, and said: "It is very knowledgeable to condemn this mission inside and outside the city. Inside and outside the city refers to the inside and outside of Tokyo City, that is,

He said, as long as you don't leave Tokyo, your orders, Mo Horu's, can be carried out as smoothly as the king's orders, and even the current prime minister has no right to interfere. Isn't it a great benefit to have such power in your hands?"

"What about the two benefits?" Mo Yunxiao continued to ask.

"These two benefits belong to the people." Mrs. Wei placed another small tea bowl and explained: "The Caobang and Guifanlou are doing the opposite and are completely unconscionable. They have long been angry and resentful in Tokyo. It's just that the Caobang has the support of the Zhang brothers.

, everyone is angry, but they dare not speak out. But now there are people who can do justice for heaven and relieve the people. This is a matter of conformity to the will of the world and the people. As long as things are done in the right way, one can respond to a hundred responses."

After Mrs. Wei finished speaking, she took another sip of hot tea and continued: "As for the three benefits, it's you, Mo Haolu." As she said that, she placed the big teapot next to the two small teacups.

Mo Yunxiao was stunned and asked: "Yu Ru, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Hehe!" Mrs. Wei smiled and said: "You, Mo Helu, have been hanging out with a group of wandering children since you were a child. When you grow up, you often ride horses in the downtown area. People talk about your change of attitude and send you to

The nickname of the female Yama."

"So what?" Mo Yunxiao was still confused.

Mrs. Wei smiled and said: "I'm afraid that in Tokyo, you, Mo Helu, are the most eye-catching after becoming an official. Although your behavior is a bit eccentric, you have not caused any major troubles in these years. And this time

King Jian, the dragon among flowers, was dethroned, and it is also your contribution. How can such a character not make people love and hate him at the same time? How can he not make people admire him with admiration? "

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and held Mo Yunxiao's hand. Mo Yunxiao instinctively wanted to dodge, but Mrs. Wei's grip was so tight that she didn't ask her to take her hand away.

"What's more important is that you are a woman." Mrs. Wei put away her smile and said earnestly: "The officials are right, women can understand women the most. As a woman, you can do many things that men cannot do.

, How many people in the world can have such courage and magnanimity? Officials are going against all opinions, and their good intentions may be here."

Looking at Mrs. Wei's sincere eyes, Mo Yunxiao felt the blood surge in her heart.

She took a long breath, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Yu Ru, if you say that, it makes me uncomfortable."

"He Lu, don't underestimate yourself." Mrs. Wei withdrew her hand, poured herself some hot tea, and said, "With these three benefits, this matter is not impossible to handle. In addition, as long as you make up your mind,

My sister-in-law and I will also do our best to help."

"What are the three disadvantages?" Mo Yunxiao became worried again.

Mrs. Wei paused for a moment and then said slowly: "Yes, there are still three disadvantages. But if we deal with it properly, there are always ways to resolve it."

As she said that, she picked up the lid of the tea bowl and placed it gently on the first tea bowl, saying: "If it's not good, everyone will talk about it. Alas, this is also what makes things difficult for the officials and the court."

"In our dynasty, it is no different than in the Tang Dynasty. It has become a fashion for women to observe etiquette. If a woman loses her virginity and the bad reputation spreads, even if her relatives do not blame her, it will be difficult for her to marry." Mrs. Wei said with a somewhat heavy expression.

He said in a tone of voice: "What's more, most of these lost women come from the countryside. They and their parents are ignorant and chaotic. There are many who want to die because they can't think about it, who are scolded and tortured to death, or who are wronged and die after marrying as concubines."

Mo Yunxiao nodded in agreement and said, "If this is the case, saving people is the same as killing people."

Mrs. Wei nodded and said: "There are many good people in the world. It is impossible to prevent people from making unreasonable opinions. So this is a disadvantage."

After she finished speaking, she picked up a bowl lid and put it on the second tea bowl, saying: "The second disadvantage is the dispute between the Cao Gang and the Beggar Gang. The Beggar Gang just wants to occupy the magpie's nest, while the Cao Gang wants to make a living."

I'm afraid we have to fight to the death. The city gate is on fire and the fish in the pond suffer. These are the two disadvantages."

Mo Yunxiao nodded silently, his expression becoming more solemn.

"As for these three disadvantages, alas..." Mrs. Wei also let out a long sigh, and then gently closed the lid of the teapot with a sense of sadness.

"The struggle between the DPRK and China is full of twists and turns. Since you have gained such great power, you will naturally get involved in this boring and dangerous dispute."

Mrs. Wei said with some worry: "I'm really afraid that your reckless temper will cause others to take advantage of you. In the end, not only will you not be able to save others, but you will also harm yourself."

"I know you know this, and all the officials in Tokyo are aware of it." Mrs. Wei said, "If someone wants to harm you, they will inevitably do it in disguise, so that your authority cannot be extended."

After listening to Mrs. Wei's analysis, Mo Yunxiao fell into a long silence. She closed her eyes with a sullen face, and could clearly hear her breathing and beating heartbeat.

"Anyway, this road is very dangerous. If you don't want to go, I will go back and tell my master to go to the palace immediately and die to remonstrate with him. Maybe the official can take back his life."

Mo Yunxiao just closed her eyes and meditated, but then she said something that Mrs. Wei didn't expect.

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for him too."

Mrs. Wei was stunned and asked: "He? Which him?"

Mo Yunxiao then opened her eyes quietly, looked at Mrs. Wei and said, "I mean the official family."

Mrs. Wei took a breath and was quite surprised. After all, she had never heard anyone dare to call the emperor "he".

"Yes, the officials are very busy these days." Mrs. Wei calmed her breathing and said slowly: "The governors are arguing with the officials about your matter. King Jian has deep roots in the court. Even though there is a joint trial by the three judges, he can't be touched for a while.

. And between the Beggar Clan and the Cao Clan... Well, the official family has been involved in these three things. According to my master, everyone has lost weight."

Mo Yunxiao glared and said: "The crux of these three things probably lies with me. If I can properly arrange the women in Guifan Tower, the disputes between the DPRK and the Central Committee will subside, and everything will develop in a clear direction.

.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei looked surprised and said, "He Lu, are you willing to do it?"

Mo Yunxiao smiled slightly: "I never said I wouldn't do it, I just don't know how to do it. The authorities are confused, but fortunately you have Yuru to guide me. Now that all my doubts are gone, there is no reason not to do it."

"Okay!" Mrs. Wei slammed the table excitedly, stood up and said, "I knew that my He Lu was still the good daughter who didn't want to be married to a man!"
