"My son, I accept the decree!"

Xia Taige bowed respectfully, then pursed his lips. His father was really generous, not even providing a single soldier for the three thousand iron cavalry!

He glanced around and said with a smile, "My lords, I will inevitably have to deal with you all in the future. If I offend you in any way, I hope you will forgive me!"

"Where there!"

"Your Highness is serious!"

The civil and military officials all had different expressions. In this important capital city, the emperor actually allowed a prince to hold a large army. Was this compensation for Prince Xuan?

Cai Quanzhi sighed slightly, his gaze towards Prince Xuan filled with mockery. He wanted to see how Prince Xuan would handle the situation!

After some pleasantries, the morning court session officially entered its drawn-out phase. In short, after a long, drawn-out discussion, Xia Taige was starting to feel drowsy!

"Retreat!"

A melodious voice rang out, and Xia Taige's spirits lifted; it was finally over. He strode out of the Hall of Diligent Governance, paused briefly, and then headed straight for the Imperial Study!

……

Emperor Xia seemed to have known that Xia Taige was coming all along, and ordered people to prepare two breakfasts. He watched with a smile as Xia Taige walked into the imperial study!

"My son has met my father!"

"Alright, come and sit down. What are your thoughts on today's court session?"

"Reporting to Father Emperor, it's nothing interesting, just incredibly sleepy. If it weren't for the Zhenwu Division, even a dog wouldn't come to a place like this!"

Seeing Xia Taige's nonchalant attitude, Emperor Xia's face contorted with rage, and he couldn't resist the urge to slap him in the nose. This wretched child, what does he take my civil and military officials for?

"Hmph!" Emperor Xia snorted lightly, saying irritably:

"Don't think that just because I've granted you power you can act recklessly. The world of martial arts is a deep and dangerous place!"

"The powerful families behind this won't just sit idly by; we mustn't be careless!"

"If you're not careful, you might drown, or you might not even make a splash!"

"Your patriotic heart brings me great comfort!"

"But the foundation of a powerful family's valves is not something you alone can shake!"

The Xia Emperor's expression was somewhat solemn, his face conveying a sense of admonition.

"In the past, you stayed away from the court, acted recklessly, and did some outrageous things, but in the end, you didn't infringe on their interests. So, naturally, no one made a move against you!"

“Things are different now. You hold the power of life and death,”

"We're right in the eye of the storm; there's no escaping it!"

"Think carefully before you act!"

After listening to Emperor Xia's words, Xia Taige nodded slightly: "Your subject will remember your teachings, Father!"

“However, Father,” Xia Taige said with a sly glint in his eyes, “if they really dare to make a move, I will not be one to be trifled with. I want to see just how capable these so-called aristocratic families really are.”

Looking at Xia Taige's confident demeanor, Emperor Xia couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He knew that Xia Taige was not a reckless person, but simply needed some experience.

"Very well, since you have made this decision, I will not say anything more. Remember, no matter when or where, you must protect yourself." Emperor Xia patted Xia Taige on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Xia Taige nodded, finished his meal, bid farewell to Emperor Xia, and turned to leave.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission—establishing the Zhenwu Division and assuming the position of its head!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Zhenwu Division office!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 30000 sets of the Zhenwu Division uniform!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a White Dragon Carriage!]

“System check-in!” Xia Taige suddenly remembered that he hadn’t checked in today.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have signed in and received one chef from each of the eight major cuisines! One hundred maids from the Prince's mansion!] (Basic seasonings included!)

Seeing such a generous reward, Xia Taige was overjoyed. The system is indeed my thoughtful little helper!

The Zhenwu Division covers an area of ​​300 mu (approximately 20 hectares) and includes government offices, a prison, a drill ground, training grounds, and barracks. It also features a scripture repository!

The Zhenwu uniform comes in six color schemes: red, purple, white, green, black, and blue. Neutral colors such as white, gray, gold, and silver are used to outline the patterns, separating the contrasting colors and creating a harmonious overall effect.

The White Dragon Carriage, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day, is said to be worth a thousand soldiers. It is also known as the world's number one prison! Its overall color is ivory white!

[The chefs of the eight major cuisines can ensure that the host will not suffer from food shortages in this other world. Wherever the host goes, it will taste like home!]

[A maid who is familiar with all kinds of household chores!]

Upon seeing the system's reward description, Xia Taige couldn't help but exclaim how thoughtful, generous, and sensible it was!

Needless to say, the Zhenwu Division's government office solved Xia Taige's immediate problem. He was originally worried about where to set up his office, but now the system has conveniently delivered it right to his doorstep!

The Zhenwu uniform is a symbol of prestige for the Zhenwu Guards, a mark of a legitimate institution certified by the imperial court. Otherwise, if each Zhenwu Guard wore different uniforms, they would lack authority and appear like a ragtag army!

Xia Taige still remembered the White Dragon Carriage! It was Tuoba Yu'er's White Dragon Carriage! The interior was enormous, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day, and the white dragon could breathe fire. More importantly, it could even navigate automatically. It was practically an essential tool for any travel adventure!

In this era, any chef from one of the eight major Chinese cuisines would be far superior to the imperial chefs! (Of course, Cantonese chefs should be excluded!)

One hundred maids are just the right amount to take over the affairs of the Prince's mansion. Just yesterday, we were talking about getting rid of some of the maids and guards in the Prince's mansion, and today the system has thoughtfully sent people over!

As the morning court session ended, a piece of news that shocked the entire Great Xia Dynasty arrived!

The Great Xia Dynasty has established the Zhenwu Division today!

There shall be one Director, of the third rank!

Two deputy directors, of the third rank!

There are four directors, all of the fourth rank!

Sixteen men in a thousand households, of the fourth rank!

It was under the jurisdiction of various units, including centurions, generals, and junior officers.

This is how they control the martial arts world.

The establishment of the Zhenwu Division attracted the attention of various factions in the martial arts world; no one wanted to have an axe hanging over their head! Spies from various factions flocked to the capital in a frenzy, trying to obtain valuable information!

Prince Xuan has become an insurmountable obstacle for those in the martial arts world! Outside Prince Xuan's residence, spies from various factions will gather here!

Outside the imperial city, Zhao Gao was waiting in his white dragon carriage! Xia Taige walked out of the palace gate and headed straight for the white dragon carriage.

The tall and mighty white dragon was covered in snow-white scales that shimmered with light, and its eyes were sharp as lightning.

Xia Taige boarded the car, which was spacious and luxurious, filled with a pleasant fragrance. It was fully equipped with a mattress and a desk!

Immediately, Zhao Gao drove his white dragon carriage toward the Xuanwang Mansion, and pedestrians on the road avoided him like the plague!

Along the way, people turned their heads to look at the magnificent white dragon carriage.

Xia Taige sat upright in the car, contemplating the future of the Zhenwu Division.

Upon arriving at the Xuanwang Mansion, Xia Taige alighted from the carriage, where he was respectfully greeted by everyone present.

Zhao Gao stayed by her side at all times, taking charge of Xia Taige's personal safety outside the palace.

As the head of the Zhenwu Division, Xia Taige felt truly ashamed of his own meager martial arts skills. Fortunately, the people rewarded by the system were all extremely loyal!

Inside the Prince's mansion, one hundred maids were already performing their duties. Chefs from the eight major cuisines had taken over the kitchen, and apart from the personnel awarded by the system, there was no one else in the entire mansion!
