With the deaths of Wanyan Wugunai and Yelü Xin, the profound heritage of this great kingdom was once again showcased.
Facing an unexpected strong expert of the Guiyuan realm, Xu Chu stepped out from the river of history by imperial decree, protecting the majesty of the Han kingdom!
After the founding ceremony, to maintain border stability and prevent surprise attacks from the Jin kingdom, many ancient heroes rushed across the land of Han that very night, reaching their respective army encampments to guard their territories.
That night, Yang Hao inherited the Emperor's Scripture of the Boundless Firmament, and his cultivation advanced from the third level of Grandmaster to the fifth, his body filled with kingly aura.
Subsequently, Yang Hao used six hundred thousand faith points to purchase sixty Silver Blind Boxes. A massive expenditure, the blind box level was also upgraded, unlocking Gold Blind Boxes, each costing one hundred thousand faith points.
The sixty Silver Blind Boxes summoned the Factory Guards, Tiger Guard Army, and Brocade-clad Guards, and also yielded one chance to summon an ancient hero.
"Use the ancient hero summon!"
"Ding! Deduction successful!"
Golden light permeated the first level of the Samsara Profound Yellow Tower, the sound of the Great Dao echoed in all directions, a galaxy spread out, starlight flowed, slowly traveling from the Spring and Autumn period to the Great Ming!
Witnessing the passage of time, stars scattered densely, banners unfurled and rolled, a golden human figure materialized on the first level of the tower!
A figure stepped out from the river of history!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning into existence - Qi Jiguang."
Yang Hao silently listened to the prompt: "View Qi Jiguang's profile."
"Name: Qi Jiguang"
"Courtesy Name: Yuanjing"
"Dynasty: Ming Dynasty"
"Cultivation: Guiyuan third level"
"Cultivation Technique: Mountain-Taming Tiger Fist Scripture"
"Troop Type: Top-tier Troop - Qi Family Army, one hundred thousand strong"
Experience: For over ten years, Qi Jiguang fought against Japanese pirates along the southeastern coast, eradicating the pirates who had plagued the coast for years and ensuring the safety of life and property for coastal dwellers.
He later spent over ten years defending against Mongolian incursions in the north, safeguarding the northern territories, and promoting peaceful development between the Mongolian and Han peoples. He authored the eighteen-volume "Xin Shu of Military Preparedness" and the fourteen-volume "Records of Military Training," along with other famous military treatises, as well as "Collected Works from the Hall of Stopping" and memorials and proposals submitted to the court during various historical periods.
"Use Slaughter Points to summon!"
Xu Chu was needed to guard the royal palace; if a full-scale war with the Jin kingdom were to break out, the top fighting force would be significantly weakened.
"Ding! The system begins summoning!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning into existence - Di Renjie."
Yang Hao silently listened to the prompt: "View Di Renjie's profile."
"Name: Di Renjie"
"Courtesy Name: Huaiying"
"Dynasty: Tang Dynasty"
"Cultivation: Grandmaster seventh level"
"Cultivation Technique: Wisdom Scripture of Discriminatory Judgment"
Experience: "In his early years, he passed the Mingjing examination and served successively as an assistant magistrate of Bianzhou, an official of Bingzhou, a minister of Dali Temple, the prefectural governor of Luozhou, and so on, known for his fearlessness in the face of power.
In the second year of Tianshou, he was appointed as minister, serving as Vice Minister of the Court of the Exalted and Concurrent Minister of the Council of State. However, after only four months, he was falsely accused of treason by the cruel official Lai Junchen, stripped of his post, and imprisoned. After being exonerated, he was demoted to the position of magistrate of Pengze County.
He was reinstated during the Yingzhou Rebellion and was again appointed minister in the first year of Shenggong, serving as Vice Minister of the Imperial Secretariat and Concurrent Minister of the Council of State, and was promoted to Nayan.
Later, he boldly remonstrated, earnestly persuading Empress Wu Zetian to reinstate Prince Li Xian of Luling as Crown Prince, thus ensuring the continuation of the Tang dynasty's imperial line. Sudan Novels."
Yang Hao gently opened his eyes. Although this batch of Slaughter Points did not summon any heroes of the Guiyuan realm, he still had no fear of the northern powerful nation!
The second day of the first month of the Han Kingdom's founding year.

With three bell tolls, the Vermilion Bird Gate slowly opened, its vermilion paint and imposing aura exuding royal opulence. Two majestic lions roared to the sky before the gate, their kingly presence undeniable.
A host of civil and military officials, braving the faint starlight, slowly entered the royal palace. Today was the second day since the founding of the nation, and it marked the first morning court of the Han kingdom. Numerous officials had risen early and arrived at the palace, eagerly awaiting the summons of the Han King.
Today was an extremely important day; it was the time for these loyal subjects who had followed the dragon to reap their rewards. Today, power would be distributed and demarcated.

"Morning court!" Wei Zhongxian stood at the entrance of the Xuanzheng Hall, his sharp voice ringing out.
The grand doors of the Xuanzheng Hall slowly opened. Civil officials, led by Chen Gong, Zhu Sheng, Wu Yong, and Di Renjie, entered in order from the right side of the gate.
Military generals, including Qi Jiguang and Xu Chu, entered from the left side of the gate. The crowd lined up on both sides, awaiting the arrival of the Han King Yang Hao.
Soon, the sky began to lighten.
"The Han King arrives!" Wei Zhongxian stood to the left of the throne and shouted loudly, his resonant voice piercing the Xuanzheng Hall and echoing throughout the royal palace.
Yang Hao, clad in royal robes and wearing a crown, sat upon the throne with a solemn and majestic expression.
"Your subjects pay respects to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
Yang Hao's face was obscured by beaded curtains, making his expression unreadable. The only sound was the dragon's roar that suddenly emanated from the empty hall: "All my esteemed ministers, rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers bowed in thanks, then rose and took their positions on either side.
Yang Hao surveyed all directions with evident majesty: "I hereby confer upon Qi Jiguang the title of Great Han Divine Mountain General, a second-rank noble, and order him to immediately take charge of the Bingzhou fortress, with full responsibility for border defense."

After a quarter of an hour, the bestowal of titles was complete, and the allocation of power was finalized. Thus, all civil and military officials of the vast Han court had taken their posts, driving the colossal kingdom forward.
"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live forever!"
All the civil and military officials knelt down and bowed in gratitude!
Yang Hao took a deep breath: "You shall all familiarize yourselves with your respective duties immediately, and under no circumstances shall there be any delay that compromises the nation's affairs."
"Zhu Sheng, Bao Zheng."
"Your servant is here!"
Zhu Sheng and Bao Zheng stepped forward.
"The Han kingdom has just been established and urgently needs the support of the populace. I decree that you shall forthwith announce to the entire nation the implementation of the imperial examination system, selecting officials based solely on merit!"
"Your servant obeys the decree!"
Zhu Sheng and Bao Zheng bowed in salutation.
