"Ling'er has become the martial arts champion of the Primordial Dynasty?"
A dignified-looking middle-aged man in a yellow dragon robe suddenly stood up and asked the eunuch who rushed in.
A hint of surprise appeared on his face. When he learned that Zhao Lingjun was going to the Taichu Dynasty, he was not angry at all, but instead full of anticipation.
No one knows a daughter better than her father, and the person who understood Zhao Lingjun best was the Emperor of Yue.
The Taichu Dynasty is now very powerful, and all twelve mortal dynasties formerly under the Xuantian Sect have been incorporated into the territory of the Taichu Dynasty.
In addition, the news that the Taichu Dynasty had killed Taiyuan Daoist, the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect, Vajra Venerable, the Supreme Elder of the Vajra Temple, and Nie Zhanlong, the Pavilion Master of the Fenglei Pavilion, spread throughout the mortal dynasties of the Burial Land of Immortals.
The Yue emperor was well aware that although there was still some distance between the Taichu Dynasty and the Yue Kingdom, it wouldn't be long before the Yue Kingdom would have to submit to the Taichu Dynasty, given its strength. If they didn't submit, the Yue Kingdom would be completely destroyed by the Taichu Dynasty.
The strength of the Yue Kingdom was not even in the same league as that of the Taichu Dynasty. Crushing the Yue Kingdom would be as easy as crushing an ant.
However, if his beloved daughter could hold a high position in the Taichu Dynasty, even if he submitted to Emperor Li Jing of the Taichu Dynasty and became a member of the Taichu Dynasty, with his daughter's protection, he would have a certain foundation in the Taichu Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. Her Highness the Eldest Princess won second place in the civil service examination of the Taichu Dynasty, becoming the runner-up in the civil service examination."
"He also won first place in the martial arts examination of the Taichu Dynasty and became the champion of the martial arts examination."
"Therefore, he was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Taichu Dynasty as the commander of the seventh legion of the Taichu Dynasty, the Yaoguang Legion."
The eunuch said with an excited and thrilled expression.
"Okay! Okay! Okay..."
The Emperor of Yue burst into laughter, exclaiming, "With a daughter like this, what more could a father ask for!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty..."
All the eunuchs in the entire hall knelt down and offered their congratulations to the Emperor of Yue.
"Someone, summon the ministers of the six ministries to the Taiji Hall for a meeting."
The Emperor of Yue calmed his excited emotions and spoke in a deep and powerful voice.
The State of Yue did not have a prime minister; instead, the six ministers were the most respected, and these six were the true pillars of the State of Yue.
"yes!"
A palace attendant responded and quickly left the hall.
Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a shuttle.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Primordial Dynasty has completely integrated the territories of eleven mortal dynasties into its own domain.
The Taichu Martial Arts Manual, officially taught by the Taichu Dynasty, greatly enhanced the sense of belonging of the people within these territories to the Taichu Dynasty.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Li Jing sat upright on the dragon throne.
Minister of Personnel Zhong Shenxiu stepped forward, cupped his hands to Li Jing, and said, "Your Majesty, all the candidates for the imperial examinations of our Taichu Dynasty have been familiarizing themselves with the administration of the government for a month in the six ministries or the various levels of government offices in the prefectures and counties of our Taichu Dynasty."
They already have the ability to stand on their own!
The time has come for our Primordial Dynasty to unify all mortal dynasties in the Burial Land of Immortals!
"Your Majesty, please issue the order to conquer all mortal dynasties in the entire Burial Grounds!"
Because Li Jing entrusted the task of conquering all the major mortal dynasties and unifying all the mortal dynasties in the Burial Land of Immortals to Zhong Shenxiu, the Minister of Personnel, it was Zhong Shenxiu who made the proposal, not Yan Changqing, the Grand Secretary.
All the officials, both civil and military, turned their gazes toward Li Jing.
In particular, the eight commanders of the Tian Shu Legion, namely Guo Jingfei, Dongfang Yao, Chu Batian, Zhou Li, Gongsun Wangshu, Huangfu Yunhai, Zhao Lingjun, and Beigong Wudi, have already shown their eagerness to try their luck.
Even the Imperial Guard General Beigong Wudi was like this.
The Imperial Guard has now been truly expanded, reaching a size of two million soldiers.
The camp of the Imperial Guard General was also divided into two parts, one of which was the Imperial Guard Camp in the palace.
The other part is located in the original Beijing garrison camp.
After all, the Beijing Garrison had been abolished. Without the Beijing Garrison, the capital city could not be left with only one Imperial Guard.
Or rather, simply having 100,000 Imperial Guards is clearly not enough.
Therefore, on the advice of Minister of War Dongfang Ming, Li Jing decided to expand the Imperial Guard, increasing its size to two million.
As the most elite Imperial Guards of the Taichu Dynasty, the Imperial Guards might need to go on campaigns under certain circumstances.
If it's just 100,000 Imperial Guards, how can you mobilize them for battle when there are only 100,000 in total?
The Imperial Guard, with its two million-strong force, could not cause any problems in Yanjing, the capital of the Taichu Dynasty, even if 1.7 million troops were drawn from it.
It wasn't just the Imperial Guard that was expanded; the seven legions also expanded from 500,000 troops each to 2 million troops each.
The main fighting forces of the Taichu Dynasty today, excluding the Imperial Guards, consist of seven legions and a total of 14 million soldiers.
The number of troops stationed in each state was expanded from 100,000 to 500,000 per state.
The entire Taichu Dynasty now has 129 provinces, which means that the total number of permanent troops stationed in each province alone has reached 64.5 million.
