Chapter 1246 Imperial Envoy
On May 28, Handan City.
After the Great Xia Army took over Handan City, Ouyang Shuo came to Handan.
On the square in front of the palace, Dichen was wearing a white robe, holding the letter of credence and the jade seal in his hand, and bowed to offer it. Ouyang Shuo nodded with a calm face, and Xu Chu, who was accompanying him, took it on his behalf and completed the simple surrender ceremony.
Although the ceremony was short, those who witnessed this historical moment will probably never forget it.
…………
In the palace, Ouyang Shuo met Di Chen alone.
Speaking of which, this was the first time the two met alone, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"People from the emperor's family, as long as they have real talents and learning, can serve in Daxia. What they did in Dazhou before, I can also forget the past."
As soon as the scene started, Ouyang Shuo gave Dichen a reassurance, apparently he had no real intention to embarrass the Dichen family. The constraints on those aristocratic families are also counted from the attachment of the Great Zhou, and they are not going to turn over old accounts.
Ouyang Shuo has long understood a truth, to be inclusive of all rivers, one must learn to look ahead.
Ouyang Shuo was very satisfied with Di Chen's understanding.
What Ouyang Shuo wanted to destroy was the whole [Yanhuang League], not the individual ones.
Hearing this, Di Chen heaved a long sigh of relief, this time his bet was finally right. Before entering the room, Di Chen was still worried about whether Ouyang Shuo would take this opportunity to step down the Di family completely.
The sacrifice of giving up dignity finally paid off.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Di Chen said a little jerky, obviously unable to adapt to the relationship with each other for a while.
"So, what about yourself, what are your plans?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"I?"
Di Chen was very surprised. He didn't think that Ouyang Shuo would appoint him to an important position.
"I want to rest for a while." Di Chen said.
Ouyang Shuo just smiled, Di Chen is advancing by retreating, with Di Chen's strong personality, how could he really be free, let alone being compared by Xiong Ba.
"In this way, there is a position that is very suitable for you."
Ouyang Shuo didn't go around in circles, and said, "I'm going to appoint you as the prime minister of Honglu Temple, as the special envoy of the imperial court, responsible for contacting the dynasties around the world, and conveying my goodwill to them, how about it?"
Honglu Temple, as a second-rank institution, was under the direct leadership of Ouyang Shuo. There was one official of Honghe Temple, that is, Zhang Yi, a member of the second-rank official; and one Shaoqing, Violet, who also served as the director of foreign propaganda, was a third-rank official.
Further down, there is one Cheng Cheng of Honglu Temple, who is the fourth rank; and one master book, who is the fourth rank.
Although the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple is only the fourth grade, not as good as the governor of the province, but he is in the center of the imperial court, and he is also the special envoy of the court. His actual power and influence are no worse than that of a governor of the province.
To Di Chen, it was still very tempting.
Ouyang Shuo did this because he wanted to use Dichen, the former core member of the Silver Hand, to establish a normal communication channel with the Silver Hand.
This job, Fei Dichen is not competent.
Establishing communication channels is a very crucial step for Daxia's upcoming global strategy. Ouyang Shuo is very self-aware, knowing that no matter how strong Daxia is, it is impossible to dominate the world within three years.
To achieve the goal of disintegrating the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, we can only start from within them, divide and dissent, and then cooperate with external wars to eliminate the thorns.
Such a two-pronged approach can be effective.
"Minister, take the decree!"
Di Chen was not pretentious, and readily took over the job.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and told Di Chen to step back first. When Dichen left, Jue Dai Fenghua just walked into the room, and the two passed by, which seemed to herald the end of this friendship between monarch and minister.
"sit!"
Of course, Ouyang Shuo is very familiar with the name of peerless elegance.
Among the three major female Zhuges in the Huaxia District, Peerless Fenghua is the most important, and she is also the most important counselor around Dichen. Although she failed to save Da Zhou's fate, it does not negate the value of Peerless Fenghua.
Ouyang Shuo had no intention of exploring the mysterious life experience of Peerless Fenghua, nor would he gossip about the special relationship between her and Dichen. Ouyang Shuo only cared about whether this person could be used by the court.
Undoubtedly, the peerless beauty is amazing, but Ouyang Shuo is calm and unwavering.
"Dichen has just agreed to take up the post of Honglu Temple's prime minister. As the imperial court's special envoy, he will travel around the world and set about establishing communication channels between the imperial court and the Silver Hand dynasties. What is your choice?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
There are two choices before Jue Dai Fenghua, one is not to seek any official position, and is willing to continue to commit himself to Di Chen's side as a shadow; the other is to take this opportunity to work independently in Daxia.
"At the moment when the Great Zhou was destroyed, I was a free man." Peerless Fenghua replied.
Outsiders may not know that when they first entered the game, Jue Dai Fenghua and Di Chen had an agreement that they would serve Di Chen in the game world for ten years, and upon reaching the planet of hope, they would be able to restore their freedom.
However, the world is unpredictable, only seven years after Gaia, Da Zhou was wiped out in ashes.
With Di Chen's current status, if he still brings Peerless Fenghua with him, it will be too an eyesore, and it will not help Di Chen gain a firm foothold in Daxia.
Therefore, the two had a good talk yesterday, and since then, they have gone their separate ways.
"Returning your freedom in advance is the last thing I can do for you." Di Chen said.
Having said that, Peerless Fenghua is still very melancholy. Although he was freed in advance, it is impossible to say that he has no feelings at all for six and a half years of getting along day and night.
This is fate.
Ouyang Shuo ignored Peerless Fenghua's melancholy, thought for a while, and then said, "Since this is the case, you will have a place in the Miwen Pavilion. It is a good story for the three great female Zhuges of China to gather in the Great Xia Miwen Pavilion."
"Your Majesty trusts me so much?" Jue Dai Fenghua was surprised.
Who doesn't know that although the Miwen Pavilion is not well-known and its official rank is not high, it is the central organization closest to Ouyang Shuo, and those who can work in the Miwen Pavilion are people Ouyang Shuo trusts.
Right now, there are four bachelors in the Miwen Pavilion performing their own duties, and each of them is in charge of a share.
Tsing Yi, a bachelor of palm printing, is in charge of the overall situation, Su Zhe, a bachelor, is in charge of drafting memorials, and Feng Qingyue, who has been promoted to a bachelor, is in charge of writing and organizing memorials; Bai Nanpu, who has also been promoted to a bachelor, concurrently serves as the Xuanzhao officer.
Each bachelor leads two secretaries; each secretary leads two secretaries.
Four bachelors, eight secretaries, and sixteen secretaries together formed the Miwen Pavilion, which controlled the central secrets of the Great Xia Dynasty and served Ouyang Shuo alone.
"If I can use Feng Qingyue, I can use you."
Peerless Fenghua remained silent and didn't continue to ask. With her intelligence, she knew that this was just an excuse for Ouyang Shuo. Before Feng Qingyue entered the Miwen Pavilion, she stayed in Sichuan for more than half a year to test her loyalty.
Ouyang Shuo directly skipped the test now, not because he was bewitched by the peerless beauty, or something else, it was just because Da Xia is unprecedentedly powerful today, and he has the confidence to employ people like this.
Peerless Fenghua dared to have a different heart, no doubt he was playing with fire and setting himself on fire.
