1244 TWO Chapter 1244-Imperial Court special ambassador (1/2)
Chapter 1244 – Imperial Court Special Ambassador
5th month, 28th day, Handan City.
After the Great Xia Army took over control of Handan City, Ouyang Shuo arrived.
On the square in front of the palace, Di Chen was wearing a white robe. He personally handed the seal over. Ouyang Shuo's face was really calm as he nodded. Xu Chu accepted the items on his behalf and completed the simple surrendering ceremony.
Although the ceremony was short, it was unforgettable for anyone who had witnessed the historical moment.
...
Within the palace, Ouyang Shuo met Di Chen alone.
Speaking of which, this was the first time the two of them had met alone, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
”The Di family people, as long as they learn well, they can take up jobs in Great Xia. Whatever they did in Great Zhou, I will not bother about.”
Right at the start, Ouyang Shuo calmed down Di Chen's heart, showing no intentions of making things difficult for the Di family. His restraint toward the aristocratic family would begin from this moment on, and he would not dig up old matters.
Ouyang Shuo had understood a theory, which was to accept everyone. One had to learn how to move forward.
Seeing that Di Chen knew his position, Ouyang Shuo was really satisfied.
What Ouyang Shuo wanted to destroy was the Yanhuang Alliance as a whole, not them individually.
When Di Chen heard that, he heaved a long sigh of relief. This time, he had taken the right gamble. Before entering the room, Di Chen was worried that Ouyang Shuo would take the chance to step the Di Family to the ground.
Giving up his pride finally netted him some rewards.
”Thank you, your majesty!” Di Chen hesitated, obviously not used to their current relationship.
”Then what about you. What plans do you have?” Ouyang Shuo asked.
”Me?”
Di Chen was surprised. He did not think that Ouyang Shuo would give him an appointment.
”I think I would like to take a rest.” Di Chen replied.
Ouyang Shuo smiled. Di Chen wanted to take a step back now so that he could take a few steps forward in the future. With his determined personality, he definitely would not rest, as he could not help but compete against Xiong Ba and the others.
”I think I have a suitable position for you.”
Ouyang Shuo did not beat around the bush and said, ”I am prepared to appoint you as the Honglu Temple assistant to act as a special ambassador to contact all the dynasties in the world to express the goodwill of our dynasty. How about that?”
As a grade organization, the Honglu Temple was led by Ouyang Shuo directly and had one minister, Zhang Yi, a Grade 2 official. There was also the outreach secretary Zi Luolan, who was primary Grade 3.
Next would be one assistant, who was primary grade 4, and the one official registrar, who was secondary grade 4.
Although the assistant was primary grade 4 and could not be compared to a Provincial Governor, it was a core position in the Imperial Court and held the position of Imperial Court special ambassador. Its power and influence was no worse than that of a Provincial Governor.
To Di Chen, this was quite tempting.
Ouyang Shuo decided on this appointment to make use of Di Chen's identity as an ex-Silver Hand member to build up a channel with Silver Hand.
This job could only be done by Di Chen.
Building up this communication channel was really crucial for Great Xia's global approach. Ouyang Shuo knew that no matter how strong they grew, they would not be able to unify the world within three years.
To disband Silver Hand and Azure Badge could only be done by acting on their members, making them fight internal wars and removing them one by one.
