Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

"Please rise, everyone!"

After the twelve figures expressed their gratitude, they stood up.

Now, everyone could finally see what they looked like.

Fang Xuanling, with his gentle appearance, gave the impression of being a man of great strategic acumen.

Li Jing had a dignified appearance, clearly the mark of a peerless general who had fought on the battlefield.

Name: Fang Xuanling.

Realm: Early stage of Human Immortal Realm.

Combat strength: Mid-stage Human Immortal Realm.

...

Name: Li Jing.

Realm: Early stage of Human Immortal.

Combat strength: Mid-stage Human Immortal.

Due to the limitations of the world's status, the combat power of these immortal beings in Tianhuang can only cross one minor realm.

If it weren't for the limitations of their rank, these people would all have the combat power of a late-stage Human Immortal.

Fang Xuanling was one of the meritorious officials in the early Tang Dynasty.

He was exceptionally intelligent and was recognized as the greatest wise minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing was not only a military genius of the Tang Dynasty, but also a military genius in history.

He is one of the Ten Sages of the Temple of Martial Arts, and it can be said that he is the universally recognized role model among historical military commanders, a figure with almost no controversy.

He never lost a battle in his life, and his achievements would have been enough to overshadow the emperor in any dynasty.

However, he was able to die peacefully, which shows that his strategic wisdom was in no way inferior to his military talent.

"Thanks to you all, my Great Xia has saved thousands of years of development time."

Instantly, Li Jing and Fang Xuanling bowed respectfully in deference.

As exceptional individuals, they wouldn't readily accept such praise at this time.

Xia Zhaoyan smiled and didn't care. In any case, the future development of the Great Xia Dynasty would ultimately depend on the support of civil and military officials.

Of course, this is not to say that those extraordinary people are not important.

On the contrary, their role in the myriad realms will be irreplaceable in the future.

"Minister Fang, I hereby appoint you as one of the high-ranking officials of the court, a member of the cabinet, and concurrently as the Vice President of the Censorate!"

"Yao Shu, Xue Yuanchao, Hao Chujun, Zhang Wenguan, and Li Jingchen are hereby granted the rank of fourth grade and will be assigned to local posts after the next court assembly."

These five individuals, though seemingly rated as third-rate talents by the system, could easily govern a state.

Moreover, each of them possessed the cultivation level of the early stage of the Celestial Realm.

The officials of the court, the members of the cabinet, and the deputy head of the Censorate all held positions and powers no less than those of the Six Ministries and Nine Temples.

Fang Xuanling was naturally satisfied; from beginning to end, he had never considered becoming prime minister.

The situation of the Great Xia court had already appeared in his mind when he was resurrected.

Of the two prime ministers, the Left Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng was someone even Fang Xuanling himself admitted he might not have been able to match in that era.

That extended the life of the crumbling Ming Dynasty by at least fifty years.

How many people in the entire Chinese nation possess such abilities? Or, besides Zhang Juzheng, who else could it be?

Therefore, he could not plan for the position of Left Chancellor, and as intelligent as he was, he was even less capable of planning for the position of Right Chancellor.

That's a position His Majesty uses to win over local forces.

The foundation of this country lies with its native people.

The local forces, led by Right Chancellor Meng Zhou, Xing Wudi (one of the Three Dukes), and Mu Wenhan of the Heavenly Punishment Division, are an existence that no outstanding figure dares to touch.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan looked at Li Jing.

He had already considered this arrangement for a long time.

"Li Jing, I hereby appoint you as Grand Commandant of the Great Xia Dynasty and Deputy Chief of the Privy Council. Simultaneously, you are to establish the First Legion of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

"At the same time, Shi Jingfeng, Wang Pei, Cao Hua, Li Ting, and Tian Bu were granted the title of General of Great Xia and temporarily appointed as deputy commanders of the First Army of the Great Tang Dynasty."

"The legion will consist mainly of your respective personal guards and 100,000 elite Tang troops, with the rest recruited from the local area."

Li Jing's job assignment would have been impossible in the previous Great Xia Dynasty.

Firstly, those serving in the Privy Council cannot directly command the military.

But now, who in the court or among the people dares to stand up against Xia Zhaoyan's decree?

As for the position of Grand Commandant, although it is not one of the Three Dukes of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is still one of the dukes.

His status was in no way inferior to the Three Dukes, and as for the former Grand Commandant, he could only be forced to step down.

Now that Xia Zhaoyan has more and more people under his command, more of those veteran officials will retire in the future.

Of course, he couldn't possibly make all the veteran officials step down.

At least one-third of the senior officials should remain in the court.

After all, governing a region requires local officials.

Finally, after Mao Xiang was born, the spatial gate behind him completely disappeared.

"Your subject Mao Xiang, leading his troops, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

The hundred people behind him knelt down to worship.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

...

"Please rise, everyone!"

Mao Xiang's birth allowed Xia Zhaoyan to begin working on some things.

Name: Mao Xiang.

Realm: Early stage of Dragon Transformation.

Combat strength: Late stage of Dragon Transformation Realm.

This man was the one who single-handedly established the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Although he did not have a good end, his abilities cannot be denied.

He was recognized by the system as a first-rate historical figure.

Above them are top-tier talents and unparalleled geniuses.

Of the hundred people Mao Xiang brought, five were subordinates at the early stage of the Shattered Realm.

Twenty subordinates at the late stage of the Celestial Realm.

The rest are all at the Dharma Aspect Realm; as for those below the Dharma Aspect Realm, there are none.

Clearly, as Xia Zhaoyan's cultivation level increases, the cultivation level of those who emerge from the world will also become stronger.

"Mao Xiang, I hereby appoint you as the Deputy Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. You have the authority to meet me directly and do not need to report to the Commander."

A glint flashed in everyone's eyes; this person had essentially achieved success in one fell swoop.

Although he may not be able to become the true commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the future, his power will definitely not be weaker than any third-rank minister in the imperial court.

Because everyone can see that His Majesty is preparing to take action against the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Come to think of it, among the major special agencies of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is the most incompetent.

Even the Imperial City Guard is stronger than the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Mao Xiang will certainly live up to Your Majesty's trust."

...

"Very good, you should know the first problem you need to solve after taking the job."

"I have tolerated the Embroidered Uniform Guard for a long time."

"For so many years, we have not resolved our internal problems."

"It's clear that all those high-ranking officials are completely rotten. You must be ruthless and take drastic measures. I want to see a completely new Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Whether the Embroidered Uniform Guard can dominate all the heavens and myriad realms in the future depends on how you reform it.

Instantly, Mao Xiang's pressure increased dramatically.

Although he rose to the top in one step, becoming the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

In terms of status, he was equivalent to Mu Wenhan today.

But the pressure is immense; Mao Xiang is well aware of the current problems facing the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

This Imperial Guard was not something I established single-handedly.

"Alright, I will give you the authority to appoint positions to your one hundred men."

"However, they can only serve in the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

At this moment, everyone else looked at Mao Xiang with a hint of pity and sigh.

Good heavens, who would pose such an enormous problem right off the bat?

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard was completely corrupt, its internal complexity was truly exceptional.

The current commander is a figure from the previous emperor's era.

Some of the higher-ups were even people from the previous emperor's era.

Among the lower and middle classes, there are even people planted by forces from various regions.

Some of them were even bigwigs in the imperial court!
