Several days later, the entire capital of the Great Xia Dynasty was under martial law.

At this time, Xia Taige's wedding day was very close.

Officials throughout the capital were constantly busy.

Even many experts who were in other places came to the capital when things stabilized in their local areas.

Zhao Gao, Xiaoyaozi, Gai Nie, and others had already arrived in the capital to protect its safety.

The guests invited to Xia Taige's wedding came from all over the Chinese continent; all the major powers received invitations from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Even the sects and powerful families within the Great Shang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty were invited.

At this time, many masters had already rushed to the capital.

In the capital, on the surface, the Trapped Camp and the Mo Dao Army constantly patrolled the bustling city. Behind the scenes, the Jinyiwei and Zhenwu Division, along with many other elite units, were on standby, secretly conducting reconnaissance and responsible for protecting the security of the capital.

It is likely that at this time, anyone who dares to cause trouble here would be immediately suppressed by the imperial court.

Within the imperial city, the Imperial Guards were stationed every three steps and sentries every five steps.

The experts at the Land Immortal Realm took turns monitoring the capital to prevent unscrupulous individuals from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

Its boundaries are so strict that even a fly probably couldn't get in.

Even if the leader of the cult himself came, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the capital.

With the wedding date approaching, Xia Taige arranged for Consort Yan to provide close protection for the Lin family, which was also under close inspection by powerful cultivators at the Land Immortal Realm.

In the royal study.

"System sign in!"

[Congratulations, host, for signing in and receiving—Master Xun!]

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige was taken aback. "Master Xun, who claims to know no martial arts?"

"System, open the character introduction!"

[Name: Master Xun!]

[Strength: Terrestrial Immortal Realm!]

Upon seeing this, Xia Taige couldn't help but curl his lip, thinking, "What a Xun Fuzi who doesn't know martial arts."

In terms of level alone, he is probably on par with Donghuang Taiyi!

"System Summoning!"

The next moment, an elderly man with white hair suddenly appeared in the main hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The old man nodded slightly to Xia Taige.

"Greetings, Master!" Xia Taige returned the greeting with a clasped hand.

Xia Taige would not show the slightest disrespect to the great sages of antiquity.

"I wonder if you would be willing to serve as the headmaster of the Great Xia Academy!"

Xia Taige had been struggling with the choice of the headmaster of the Great Xia Academy. The people he had summoned so far were all more suited to officialdom, and he felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to use them as the headmaster.

As for the original inhabitants of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Taige had not considered them at all.

The position of headmaster is of great importance, and decades later, he can truly be said to have nurtured countless talents.

Xia Taige wouldn't feel at ease if such an important position wasn't held by one of his own people.

Now that Master Xun has suddenly appeared, there's no need to dwell on it anymore.

It seems that among the people of the Great Xia Dynasty today, there is probably no one more suitable to serve as the headmaster.

"Your Majesty is too kind. Teaching and educating people is simply my duty."

"I thank Your Majesty!" Master Xun stroked his beard and nodded in response.

"That's wonderful. I'll have to trouble you with your work in the future!"

"However, the academy is still under construction, so I will trouble you to wait a little longer."

"I have instructed Cao Zhengchun to find a place for the Master to stay and settle down."

"Tomorrow, Master Xun, you may temporarily assume the position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to select a person in charge of the academy!" Xia Taige expressed his apologies and told Master Xun what he was thinking.

Judging from the construction of the academy, even if the area around the capital is prosperous, it will probably take some time before it is completed.

Moreover, the matter of the academy is not something that Master Xun alone can handle.

The required human and material resources will be enormous.

"I will obey Your Majesty's arrangements!" Master Xun nodded slightly.

"In that case, thank you for your trouble, Master. In the future, if you need anything, you may use the Zhenwu Division and the Embroidered Uniform Guard at your disposal!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige smiled and promised him, then gestured for Cao Zhengchun to go down and arrange accommodations for the teacher.

Cao Zhengchun understood, looking at the powerless old man before him, but daring not to be negligent, he stepped forward to politely ingratiate himself:

"I hope you will come with me, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xun nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Watching the two figures leave, Xia Taige continued to open the system, looked through the rewards he had received from signing in recently, and decided to summon them all at once.

"System Summoning!"

The next moment, three figures appeared inside the hall.

Its brilliance is much fainter than that of Xunzi.

"Chen Qingzhi greets Your Majesty!"

"Zhuge Kongming greets Your Majesty!"

"Ximen Chuixue greets Your Majesty!"

The three consisted of a military general, a civil official, and a swordsman.

Chen Qingzhi, with seven thousand warriors, swept across the Central Plains, capturing thirty-two cities in succession, earning him the reputation of being able to evade the white-robed general.

His exaggerated achievements are so remarkable that even later generations find it hard to believe.

Such a legendary person, with such legendary achievements, was originally a pageboy, which is truly unbelievable.

Zhuge Kongming, needless to say, made the surname Zhuge synonymous with intelligence because of him.

One of the Ten Philosophers of the Martial Temple, a person who left a very important mark in the long river of history of the past.

Xia Taige held him in the highest esteem.

The mere fact that he left behind the "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops" after his death extended the life of the Shu Kingdom by several decades, truly shows that he was a man of extraordinary wisdom.

Ximen Chuixue, a Grandmaster at the peak, an unparalleled swordsman.

She always wore a white dress, exuding unparalleled elegance.

The appearance of these three individuals laid a better foundation for the future unification of China by the Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, with the three signing in, they also received two thousand Mo Dao soldiers and several thousand guaranteed Imperial Guards.

Xia Taige felt quite helpless about being reduced to a mere safety net for the Imperial Guards. Fortunately, the Imperial Guards were quite strong, so it wasn't a complete loss.

Apart from the three, Xia Taige summoned all the other troops and ordered them to report to Li Cunxiao.

"Please rise, gentlemen. It is a great joy to have your help today!" Xia Taige quickly stepped forward and helped the three of them up.

"We are unworthy of Your Majesty's praise!" The three men raised their hands in a gesture of respect.

"Indeed, the Great Xia is currently in a period of great need for reconstruction, and your arrival is like sending charcoal in snowy weather."

"Starting tomorrow, I will trouble you, Kongming, to go to the cabinet for a temporary post for a period of time."

"Qingzhi was forced to accept the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War."

"Ximen Chuixue will first serve as the deputy director of the Zhenwu Division."

"We'll make arrangements when there are available positions in the future!"

Now that Xia Taige's wedding is approaching, some high-ranking officials in the capital have not yet been transferred.

After the grand wedding, once the Great Xia Dynasty is stable, war will surely be launched.

Given the current abilities of many high-ranking officials in the court, they are clearly not qualified for the position.

Now, it's good to let everyone get to know each other for a while, so that they can prepare for taking office in the future.

Given the talents of Kongming, Chen Qingzhi, and others, their abilities will surely spread throughout the entire Chinese continent during the national war.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them bowed in unison.
