"Since you already have a plan in mind, the Ancestor will certainly support you!" The Ancestor did not force the matter. As for the Qilin son of the Xia Clan, the Ancestor would fully support whatever Xia Taige wanted to do.

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Xia Taige was very grateful to the old man in front of him.

In order to conceal his strength, Xia Taige had the patriarch take action several times within a few days.

Even during the more than twenty years that Emperor Xia reigned, the Great Xia Ancestor never made a move.

Of course, this is also related to the Xia emperor's complacency and lack of decisiveness.

"After you ascend the throne, the experts in the imperial mausoleum will serve under the Zhenwu Division!"

"Instead of keeping it in the imperial mausoleum, why not let it come out and continue to serve its purpose!"

At this moment, the ancestor no longer held back his strength; the success or failure of the Great Xia Dynasty depended entirely on Xia Taige.

If successful, the Great Xia Dynasty would dominate the Chinese mainland; if it failed, the Xia family would become a thing of the past.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia felt somewhat jealous, as the ancestor's support for Xia Taige was too great.

"Yes!" Xia Taige had no objection to the patriarch's suggestion. At present, the Zhenwu Division was scattered and was in dire need of manpower.

The experts in the imperial mausoleum were all trained by the ancestor. In the past, Xia Taige could not easily mobilize them for a long time. Now that the ancestor has spoken, he is naturally happy to see it happen.

Seeing this, the patriarch nodded, then looked at Emperor Xia and said:

"I have come to pay my respects at tomorrow's abdication ceremony!" After saying this, without waiting for the Xia Emperor's response, the Great Xia Ancestor disappeared from the main hall, leaving the Xia Emperor still feeling jealous and unable to react.

"My son, please retire!"

Seeing this, Xia Taige immediately took his leave. He hadn't even checked the system's rewards yet; he was already quite impatient.

Inside the Eastern Palace, Xia Taige, who had just returned to her bedchamber, hurriedly opened the system to check her rewards.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission—Taking Control of the Divine Artifact!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the Grand Gift Pack of Civil and Military Officials!]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired 6,000 members of the Iron Pagoda!]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Sacred Sword—the Xuanyuan Sword!]

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the powerful organization—the Eastern Depot! (Enhanced System Version!)]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained—a black dragon robe!]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Nine Cauldrons!]

Seeing this, Xia Taige was overjoyed. As expected of the coronation gift package, the rewards were plentiful.

"System, open the Civil and Military Generals Gift Pack!"

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the civil official Liu Ji!]

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the civil official Fang Qiao!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the general Li Cunxiao!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the general Li Jing!]

How thoughtful! The system is truly thoughtful.

The four civil and military officials, any one of them would be a figure who will be remembered for all time.

Liu Ji, courtesy name Bowen, was a renowned figure in history, often referred to as Zhuge Liang who divided the world into three kingdoms and Liu Bowen who unified the country.

Fang Qiao, courtesy name Xuanling, was one of the twenty-four meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion. He later rose to the position of prime minister, so his talent is beyond question.

Li Cunxiao, needless to say, was the fiercest general in the land, and was even praised as "no king surpasses Xiang Yu, no general surpasses Li Cunxiao," which shows his extraordinary martial prowess.

Li Jing, courtesy name Yaoshi, was one of the Ten Philosophers of the Martial Temple and one of the Twenty-Four Meritorious Officials of the Lingyan Pavilion. He was also known as the God of War, and his military talent was so great that he could be described as a god of war!

With these four people present, Xia Taige believed that even if wars were to be waged against the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty in the future, there would be no shortage of capable people.

The Iron Pagoda was considered the pinnacle of ancient heavy cavalry, with both riders and horses fully armored, only their eyes exposed. Each rider was accompanied by three horsemen, wielding heavy lances and iron maces, and their might shook the world.

Xia Taige believed that the six thousand Iron Pagodas charging into battle would be a nightmare for both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty.

The Xuanyuan Sword, the sword of the holy path, is the foremost of the ten divine swords. One side is engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other side is engraved with mountains, rivers, plants, and trees.

There are countless legends about the Xuanyuan Sword. It is said that the Xuanyuan Sword is the first of the ten ancient divine weapons. Xia Taige is very familiar with its illustrious reputation.

This sword can be considered a standard accessory for emperors.

The Eastern Depot, officially known as the Eastern Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, includes one Director Cao Zhengchun, two Commanders Cao Shaoqing, three Commanders Liu Xi, ten Heads of the Bureau, and more than 5,000 other guards within the system's reward system.

The emergence of the Eastern Depot was just right to replace the eunuchs in the palace and take charge of the security of the entire palace.

Xia Taige no longer needs to worry about information leaks due to using the original team.

Within the Great Xia Dynasty, the power of aristocratic families and cliques is intricate and complex. Xia Taige would never believe that there were no informants within the capital.

Now that the Eastern Depot is in place, the entire imperial city will be like the Xuan Prince's Mansion before, as solid as an iron gate, with no one secretly serving other forces within the mansion.

The black dragon robe, entirely black in color, was the exclusive attire of the emperor, representing authority and nobility.

Black, or black, symbolizes majesty, mystery, and nobility.

Wearing this dragon robe, one will exude an aura of authority without anger, greatly enhancing the majesty of the emperor.

According to Xia Taige's knowledge, among all the emperors throughout history, only the First Emperor of Qin wore a black dragon robe.

In the history of the Chinese mainland, there has never been a black dragon robe.

The concept of the Five Elements does not exist in the Chinese mainland, so the dragon robes of each of the three major dynasties are different, and each dragon robe is made according to the preferences of the ruler.

The dragon robes of the Great Zhou and Great Shang dynasties were generally red and yellow, as were those of the Great Xia dynasty.

Xia Taige, however, was captivated by the exquisite black dragon robe before him.

As someone who has always regarded the First Emperor as an idol, Xia Taige naturally made the black dragon robe his first choice because of his affection for the emperor.

The Nine Tripods are legendary objects, used to suppress the flow of fortune, and are said to have been cast by Yu the Great of the Xia Dynasty.

There are nine tripods in total: Jizhou Tripod, Yanzhou Tripod, Qingzhou Tripod, Xuzhou Tripod, Yangzhou Tripod, Jingzhou Tripod, Yuzhou Tripod, Liangzhou Tripod, and Yongzhou Tripod. Placing these nine tripods at the highest point of the Great Xia Dynasty can ensure favorable weather, abundant harvests, and national peace and prosperity.

Xia Taige was overjoyed upon seeing the system introduction.

In ancient times, when people depended on the weather for their livelihood, natural disasters would cause immense suffering, and it was common for the harvest to fail completely.

Now, with the Nine Cauldrons suppressing the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty, it can ensure favorable weather, national prosperity, and peace, and greatly guarantee the basic needs of the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Once potatoes and sweet potatoes are introduced, the era when everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty can have enough to eat is not far off.

Once the living standards of the people of Great Xia are guaranteed, the Great Xia empire will become increasingly stable.

After the Great Xia Dynasty, the money used for disaster relief can be saved. Unlike before, when a portion of the national treasury revenue had to be allocated to disaster relief every year, the money saved can be used for more beneficial things for the people.

After unifying China, the Nine Cauldrons will be scattered throughout the entire Chinese continent. At that time, everyone in China will be completely free from the life of starvation.

The more Xia Taige thought about it, the more satisfied he became. To Xia Taige, the Nine Cauldrons were simply divine artifacts.
