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

Any power will become increasingly bloated and corrupt the longer it exists.

Even a dynasty like the Great Xia was no exception, let alone a special internal institution.

The Heavenly Punishment Division did not become bloated because it was previously dismantled and its power was usurped.

But it also decayed, only because of good luck that it was taken over by Xia Zhaoyan.

However, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, from the very beginning, has never lost its power.

This has led to the current situation where the entire organization is corrupt and bloated, with too many idle people in the middle and upper management.

Furthermore, the lower levels are entangled with various local powers. Just imagine how such forces can guarantee their own combat strength.

Unfortunately, ever since Xia Zhaoyan ascended the throne, he has been busy with all sorts of unexpected situations.

Internally, the focus was merely on purging the cultivation world; there was no energy left to reorganize powerful institutions and departments such as the Censorate, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Imperial City Guard, and the Privy Council.

Firstly, he lacked the energy; previous external alliances and matters concerning the Heavenly Dao had already consumed most of the court's and his own energy.

The remaining energy should be used to improve one's own abilities.

Secondly, there are no spare personnel; that's right, there are no suitable personnel.

He did indeed have many powerful subordinates, but these people all came from the martial arts world and were not suited to the system of the imperial court.

Pushing them forward rashly will only make things worse.

Xia Zhaoyan has always advocated that professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

Those who cultivate in the martial world are suited for fighting and killing, not for serving as officials in the imperial court.

This is why he values ​​historical figures.

Compared to the heroes of the martial arts world, the heroes of history have more comprehensive abilities.

He excels in cultivation, combat power, and strategy.

In the Hall of State Affairs, after Xia Zhaoyan finished reading the imperial edict in his hand and found no errors or omissions, he realized that there were no mistakes or omissions.

They were then preparing to make an announcement to the public.

He didn't turn his head, but his voice was calm.

"Feng Bao, have their residences been arranged?"

...

"Your Majesty, the residences of all the officials have been arranged, and they have already moved in."

"In each residence, dozens to hundreds of servants were assigned to serve them."

Xia Zhaoyan nodded in satisfaction; there were plenty of mansions in the imperial city these days.

Most of them were once the residences of nobles, while a small portion were residences left behind by cultivation forces.

"The inner city of the imperial city is already somewhat insufficient in size!"

He had already realized this.

As the number of people under his command increases, the inner city will inevitably become somewhat small.

After all, the powerful figures from Baiyujing and the Underworld each have their own residences within the inner city.

"Feng Bao, tell me, what a huge shock this imperial edict will cause both inside and outside the Great Xia Dynasty!"

Feng Bao couldn't describe or answer this question specifically.

He could only speak vaguely.

"Your Majesty, the shock is considerable, given the number of people appointed this time."

...

"Yes, I could also feel it; the tremors were definitely not small."

Having said that, Xia Zhaoyan tossed the imperial edict in his hand lightly.

The next moment, the imperial edict floated into the void, radiating brilliant light.

It then began to expand, directly covering half of the imperial city.

Above the imperial edict, the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty was scattered.

The contents of this imperial edict should be visible to everyone in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

The imperial city was completely silent at this moment, and everyone looked up at the imperial edict that was enveloped in light.

Suddenly, the light of the imperial edict disappeared, and a majestic voice began to resound.

[By imperial decree, effective immediately, Fang Xuanling is appointed as one of the Grand Dukes of Xia, a member of the Cabinet, and concurrently serves as the Vice President of the Censorate.]

This very first appointment caused a huge uproar in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Regardless of who Fang Xuanling was, the fact that he concurrently served as the Vice Director of the Censorate while holding the positions of a high-ranking official and a member of the cabinet was astonishing enough.

It should be noted that in the past, the deputy head of the academy was only a fourth-rank official.

He was not qualified to be one of the gentlemen, let alone enter the cabinet.

A clever person immediately realized something!

Some people's expressions changed!

Effective immediately, Li Jing is appointed as the new Grand Commandant and concurrently serves as the Deputy Privy Councilor. Li Jing is permitted to form the First Army of the Tang Dynasty.

[The former Grand Commandant has been transferred from his original post and will be used for another purpose!]

This second appointment was seen by many as even more outrageous than the first.

Effective immediately, Nie Feng is hereby appointed...

Effective immediately...

...

Effective immediately, Mao Xiang is appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, assisting the Commander in overseeing the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

[So be it!]

By the time the last appointment was made, everyone had long since become numb.

"Oh, he's just a deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Someone breathed a sigh of relief, but then, as if realizing something, their pupils widened instantly!

Those people in front were either the Underworld Emperor or the Martial Emperor, and one of them even served as the Deputy Hall Master of the Offering Hall.

But in the end, the Hall of Offerings doesn't wield much power. Although it holds a high position, it's filled with powerful individuals.

Therefore, for those who were keen on official positions, the Hall of Offerings was an institution outside the imperial court system.

However, this final appointment of the Embroidered Uniform Guard made some people instantly guess Xia Zhaoyan's intentions.

"A person I've never heard of or seen before was suddenly appointed as the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard..."

...

"Those are the Embroidered Uniform Guards! Clearly, His Majesty has lost patience!"

...

The imperial edict disappeared, but the tremors it caused were only just beginning.

"I'm certain that the officials and Grand Commandant appointed by His Majesty are top-tier experts, and might even be..."

...

"That's right, this is very similar to the last appointment of General Xu, the Left Chancellor."

...

"A paradise on earth! I never imagined that our Great Xia would have another paradise on earth..."

No one who's discussing this is a fool.

Based on the previous situation, everyone had already guessed that, at least among these unfamiliar officials, Li Jing and Fang Xuanling were definitely at the level of immortals.

Such speculation began to spread beyond the Great Xia Dynasty.

In just one night, by the next day, the entire human race knew about the Great Xia's appointment.

On the Tianhuang Mountains, many of the Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators of the Butian Sect awakened once again.

They now fondly remember the old days.

He slept soundly undisturbed, and his days were peaceful and tranquil.

"Gentlemen, please don't carry such resentment."

"I've woken you up this time to tell you something bad."

What could be worse than the current situation?

The Great Xia Dynasty held absolute power, and even the Heavenly Dao dared not punish it.

Today's desolate land is a world shrouded in darkness.

"Just yesterday, the Great Xia appointed some unfamiliar officials."

"What's so important about this?" some Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators started complaining.

That's it?

It's just appointing officials, what's the big deal? Are the new officials of the Great Xia going to destroy the world?

"Unfortunately, everyone, based on my deduction, there are at least two experts at the Human Immortal Realm among them this time!"

The Emperor Taizu's voice had just fallen.

Their pupils constricted, and their faces suddenly turned pale!

At this moment, no one doubted the founding emperor's deduction, even though the status of the Bu Tian Sect was not as high as before.

However, he did not abandon his ability to make inferences; the Taizu Emperor's inferences were absolutely accurate.

"Emperor Taizu, don't scare us!"

...

"If two people live in a paradise, what chance do our human forces have left to survive?!"
