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

Emperor Xia knew clearly that the Great Xia Dynasty was now at a critical turning point.

Once upon a time, the Xia Emperor harbored great ambitions, wanting to carry out sweeping reforms to revitalize the Xia Dynasty.

However, whenever he was about to make up his mind, a trace of hesitation and worry would always well up in his heart, which prevented Emperor Xia from truly taking that step.

The questions raised by Xia Taige struck Emperor Xia's heartstrings like heavy hammer blows.

In fact, these questions had long been deeply imprinted in Emperor Xia's mind, troubling him day and night.

Although the current situation suggests that the Great Xia dynasty remains as stable as a mountain, a long-term perspective reveals that what Xia Taige spoke of will undoubtedly be a severe challenge that the Great Xia dynasty will inevitably face in the future.

"If you don't do it, and I don't do it, are we really going to leave all this to the next emperor to solve?"

Emperor Xia muttered to himself, his voice filled with helplessness and anxiety.

As his thoughts deepened, a flood of possible events and their subsequent chain reactions began to emerge in Emperor Xia's mind, and were analyzed and deduced one by one.

At this moment, for Emperor Xia, perhaps it truly is time to make a decision.

After all, many mysterious experts have recently emerged under Xia Taige's command, which has multiplied the overall strength of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In the eyes of the Xia Emperor, the power wielded by Xia Taige was already quite formidable, perhaps even comparable to the profound foundation accumulated by the Great Xia Dynasty over many years.

Of course, if we had to find a shortcoming, it would be that the number of top-tier combatants, that is, those above the Grandmaster level, is still somewhat lacking.

Even so, the unprecedentedly favorable situation at present still gives Emperor Xia enough confidence and courage to promote this reform.

Seeing that Emperor Xia was deep in thought, Xia Taige, who was standing nearby, wisely chose to remain silent and not make a sound, so as to give Emperor Xia enough time to think.

Wei Yong, standing next to Xia Taige, was even more cautious.

His eyes were lowered, his gaze fixed on the tip of his nose, as if that were the center of the world;

At the same time, Wei Yong's breathing became extremely shallow, as if afraid of causing any disturbance.

At this moment, Wei Yong wished he could be as invisible as possible, trying his best to minimize his presence, and secretly prayed that he would not be noticed by the two old men in front of him.

Thus, an unusually eerie and tranquil atmosphere permeated the Imperial Study.

Time ticked by, half an hour passed, and the suffocating silence continued.

However, just when the two thought this situation would continue, Emperor Xia finally slowly came back to his senses from his deep thoughts.

When Emperor Xia raised his head again, the worry and hesitation that had been in his eyes had vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was an unwavering light, a determination to forge ahead without hesitation or retreat.

All that could be heard was the Xia Emperor speaking in a deep and powerful voice:

“Just go ahead and do it!”

"What kind of cooperation is needed from the imperial court?"

Having said that, the Xia Emperor's unwavering gaze shot straight at Xia Taige like two torches.

For the Xia Emperor, making such a decision was nothing short of a thrilling gamble.

If they ultimately win the gamble, the entire Great Xia Dynasty will successfully shed its heavy burdens, allowing it to move forward with a lighter load and usher in new development opportunities.

But if the gamble fails, the fate awaiting the Great Xia Dynasty will likely be one of gradual decline, or even the possibility of its demise.

But Xia Taige had none of these worries; she had absolute confidence in herself.

Or rather, you have absolute confidence in the system!

Just then, the system suddenly beeped!

[Host detected to have ambitions for domination; task issued!]

[Task Issued: Take charge of the Crown Prince's Palace!]

[Mission Introduction: The first step of a long march begins with the Crown Prince!]

Upon hearing the system notification, Xia Taige paused but ignored it, only revealing an unprecedented ambition in his eyes!

"Your Majesty! Your son desires the position of Crown Prince!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yong, who was standing to the side, lowered his head even further!

Is this something I can hear?

Wei Yong glanced at the door of the Imperial Study, and felt an increasing longing for the atmosphere outside.

Emperor Xia showed no reaction, as if he had expected this all along!

From the current perspective, Xia Taige is indeed the best candidate.

There's absolutely no need to worry about them becoming arrogant after gaining access to the Great Xia's resources!

Given the current strength and resources of the Great Xia Dynasty, it's not necessarily true that it can surpass the strength of the Zhenwu Division.

Emperor Xia was also completely baffled as to where Xia Taige and other experts came from.

"can!"

"The investiture can be held at the morning court tomorrow, and the ceremony can be completed after the ancestral worship!"

Xia Taige was taken aback upon hearing this, never expecting the Xia Emperor to have such strong support.

According to etiquette, the appointment of a crown prince is a matter of great importance, a grand event for the country.

However, at this moment, Emperor Xia chose to keep things simple, first bestowing the title of Crown Prince and establishing the name of Crown Prince, and then holding a ceremony later.

The level of support is considerable!

"Thank you, Father!"

Xia Taige's voice trembled slightly as she stared wide-eyed at her father, who was high above her yet always trusted her implicitly.

For a moment, I didn't know how to express my gratitude.

This concerns the position of Crown Prince!

However, Emperor Xia's attitude towards Xia Taige remained steadfast and unwavering throughout.

This trust is like the warm sun in winter.

Emperor Xia nodded slightly, his majestic face showing no change in expression, as if the matter of establishing a crown prince was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

Then, he slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on Wei Yong, whose head was almost touching the ground, and immediately gave the order in an unquestionable tone:

"Quickly fetch the bamboo slips, immediately engrave the edict appointing the Crown Prince, and affix my imperial seal!"

Wei Yong dared not hesitate or slack off in the slightest. He hurriedly bowed and agreed, then ran off to carry out the emperor's order.

Watching Wei Yong's departing figure, Xia Taige felt a surge of indescribable emotion.

Everything that was happening at that moment gave him a dreamlike illusion.

In just a few short days, since obtaining that mysterious system, he is about to be named Crown Prince?

Thinking of this, Xia Taige composed himself, stepped forward, and began to advise:

"Father, I think there is no need to be in such a hurry."

Before Xia Taige could finish speaking, Emperor Xia casually waved his hand, interrupting him with an indifferent expression:

"It doesn't matter, it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway, what difference does it make if it happens sooner or later?"
