Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

With the governorships of the Nine Provinces settled, Xia Taige stood before the nine people and gave them his instructions:

"The division of the various states has already been clearly defined for you within the Cabinet!"

"Once you nine arrive, immediately and as quickly as possible restore local livelihoods."

"The policy of merging land tax with poll tax should be implemented as soon as possible, and those who slip through the net should be severely punished!"

"In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary. Anyone who obstructs or harbors ill intentions shall be killed!"

Apart from Xia Beixuan, everyone present was an outstanding individual, so Xia Taige didn't need to say much. He mainly gave instructions to Xia Beixuan.

Having suddenly transformed from a carefree prince into a powerful regional governor, Xia Taige was somewhat worried that he might lose himself in the pursuit of power.

"We will remember this and will certainly not fail Your Majesty's expectations!" Guo Jia and the others bowed and solemnly promised.

Seeing this, Xia Taige nodded. He had no doubt about the abilities of the group.

This also relieved the pressure on the Great Xia court.

In the future, matters in each state can be resolved within their respective states, and the cabinet members will have more time to face the challenges ahead.

"Let's adjourn the court!" With the important matter announced, Xia Taige decided not to delay any longer.

With a loud shout from Cao Zhengchun, the first morning court session after the unification of China ended abruptly.

Xia Taige was the first to leave the Hall of Diligent Governance and head to the Imperial Study.

Inside the Imperial Study, Emperor Xia had been waiting for a while.

When Emperor Xia saw Xia Taige enter the Imperial Study, he was still quite puzzled.

After all, today was the first morning court session after the unification of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Xia Emperor originally thought it would take all morning to finish.

"What brings Father Emperor here today?" Xia Taige asked casually upon seeing Emperor Xia.

In Xia Taige's memory, since the abdication of Emperor Xia, he has not cared about important matters of the court at all, and he would never take the initiative to come to the Imperial Study.

Even when the Xia Dynasty waged war against the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, the Xia Emperor did not intervene at all.

Xia Taige was puzzled when he saw that the other party had come to him on his own initiative.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia sat upright on his dragon throne and looked at Xia Taige, replying:

"I have come here for two reasons. First, to congratulate you on fulfilling the centuries-old dream of the Great Xia Dynasty under your rule!"

"Secondly, I plan to travel across the Chinese mainland and have come to ask you for a skilled warrior to accompany me!"

"I intend to leave Wei Yong in the palace this time and not allow him to accompany me!"

Since the birth of Emperor Xia, he has never left the capital, and in his heart, he has always longed for the outside world!

Hearing this, Xia Taige was not surprised at all. He had been in the same environment for many years and was quite tired of it.

If it weren't for the many affairs of the court, Xia Taige would also like to travel and see the outside world.

However, Xia Taige was unsure who would be a suitable candidate for the task.

After a moment of contemplation, Xia Taige's eyes suddenly lit up.

Given his temperament, following Emperor Xia would be the most suitable choice.

With a thought, Jian Jiuhuang instantly appeared inside the main hall.

Under the power of Xia Taige, Jian Jiuhuang was unable to resist at all and appeared in front of Xia Taige and the other person with a look of terror on his face.

Looking at Jian Jiuhuang in front of him, he hadn't left the palace for a long time since he ascended the throne, and it had been a long time since he had seen him.

During this period, he has obviously gained a lot of weight.

Emperor Xia looked at the sword Jiuhuang that had suddenly appeared before him and was secretly amazed by Xia Taige's amazing skills.

With his level of understanding, he could not comprehend what level this technique represented.

But in Jian Jiuhuang's heart, it would not be an exaggeration to call this power the might of Heaven.

After regaining his composure, Jian Jiuhuang felt relieved upon seeing the familiar Xia Taige.

"Your Majesty, Old Huang misses you terribly!"

Seeing Jian Jiuhuang's hypocritical appearance, Xia Taige's face darkened.

With such a lively character accompanying the Xia Emperor, he certainly wouldn't be lonely on the journey.

"okay!"

"This is my father, the Emperor!" Xia Taige decisively interrupted Jian Jiuhuang's spellcasting and introduced him.

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang immediately stopped, then faced Emperor Xia and solemnly bowed, saying:

"Your humble servant Jian Jiuhuang pays respects to the Retired Emperor!"

The change was so rapid that Emperor Xia suddenly realized that Xia Taige had many talented people under his command.

Looking at Xia Taige, he couldn't help but smile:

"These are the experts you arranged for me?"

Although reluctant to admit it, Xia Taige nodded in agreement.

"I was worried that Father Emperor would be bored and restless during his travels, so I specially summoned this lively little thing to accompany Father Emperor!"

Listening to their conversation, Jian Jiuhuang immediately understood Xia Taige's purpose in summoning him.

After hiding for half a year, he still couldn't escape the fate of wandering the world.

Given the current situation, it's clear that there's no escaping this time.

Fortunately, Jian Jiuhuang took the opportunity to express his loyalty:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, with your humble servant here, I am ready to go anywhere in the world!"

"Through fire and water, no matter what!"

Upon seeing this, the Xia Emperor couldn't help but rejoice:

"Okay, he's the one!"

The two were birds of a feather and hit it off immediately!

Looking at the two people in front of him, Xia Taige suddenly began to doubt his decision.

After hesitating for a moment, he immediately summoned Cao Zhengchun, who was standing beside him, to fetch the imperial edict.

Xia Taige personally picked up the brush, wrote the character "镇" (zhen, meaning "to suppress") on the imperial edict, stamped it with the Imperial Seal of the State, and solemnly handed it to Jian Jiuhuang, instructing him:

"Only by opening this imperial edict in times of crisis can danger be averted!"

Considering that the barrier would eventually be opened and the Chinese mainland would be plunged into chaos, Xia Taige added an extra layer of protection to ensure safety.

Otherwise, when they reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm in the future, given their personalities, they might not be able to protect their safety.

As for arranging for a terrestrial immortal realm expert to accompany him, Xia Taige had considered it.

However, in the Xia Emperor's mind, terrestrial immortals had always been figures of divine stature, and this concept could not be changed overnight.

If a powerful expert at the Land Immortal Realm were to accompany them, it certainly wouldn't be as unrestrained as having Jian Jiuhuang with them.

Seeing Xia Taige's serious demeanor, Emperor Xia immediately began to doubt Jian Jiuhuang's abilities.

Otherwise, given the current unification of the Chinese mainland, Emperor Xia couldn't fathom what kind of unforeseen event could warrant such serious consideration from Xia Taige.

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang, standing to the side, remained composed. Seeing Xia Taige's seriousness and understanding the implications, he solemnly replied:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, your humble servant will certainly guarantee Your Majesty's safety!"

Seeing this, Emperor Xia pulled Xia Taige aside and asked in a low voice:

"What kind of strength does this Old Huang possess?"

Emperor Xia should have some idea of ​​what's going on, otherwise things might get really messy later.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige was both amused and exasperated.

"Peak Grandmaster, don't worry!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia nodded as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang, who was standing to the side, felt somewhat embarrassed.

"If needed, you may travel by the White Dragon Carriage on this journey!"

Xia Taige mentioned it, not knowing what Emperor Xia's travel plans were.

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang's eyes lit up, but unfortunately, Emperor Xia did not agree.

"No, the white dragon carriage is too conspicuous."
