"Call the new Yuanwu warriors into the hall."

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the palace eunuch came out of the hall and stood on the high platform to announce the meeting.

After hearing this, Zhou Yuan and his party formed a team of three rows and six columns, and went up the left imperial road from the Mingshentai to the Wude Hall.

As soon as they entered the hall, they attracted everyone's attention.

The generals stood on the left side of the hall, and the scholars stood on the right side of the hall. There was a golden step imperial platform in the hall, and on it was the Wude Emperor's throne.

The Great Wei Emperor and the court officials had obviously finished the court meeting, and they looked at the new scholars entering the hall with interest.

"Look, everyone. This is our successor. He is brave and extraordinary, young and promising."

"We congratulate the Great Wei and Your Majesty. The dynasty continues and the people are strong."

"I am happy for you all. The military fortune of our dynasty is continuous and orderly, and brave warriors can also be found in the people.

This is the merit of your governance and the proof of the peace of our Great Wei."

The Emperor of the Great Wei first encouraged the court officials, and then handed a document to the palace attendant, asking him to read it aloud.

"May God bless the Wei Dynasty. In the 132 years since the founding of the country, the people have been prosperous and the country has been prosperous, and the military fortune has been growing day by day.

Now we have 18 national warriors as the colors of the new Yuan Dynasty. We will use them to serve as the military equipment of our country, as shields for defense and swords for war."

"All the warriors should know that the spirit comes before the martial arts, and it is the root of the martial arts. The imperial court's spiritual objects are obtained by the bravery and bloody battles of the soldiers in the camp and the people.

Spiritual objects are precious and difficult to accumulate. Since you are enjoying the support of the people of the country, you should defend the country with a public heart and protect the people."

"We will repay the country's grace after receiving the order."

After the new Yuan warriors received the order and accepted the country's grace, they were more directly rewarded.

Among them, the tenth to the eighteenth were almost all transferred to the eight camps of the capital and the Western Army to guard the border.

The only exception was the seventeenth sorcerer Cui Hong, who was transferred to the Shangfang Court under the Nine Ministers and Shaofu, and served as Shangfang Daizhi, mainly making talismans and artifacts.

The third to the ninth were transferred to the Zhenfa Academy to study government orders and set out to guard the local area on a chosen day.

Zhou Yuan and the second-ranked son of a noble, Du Yi, were granted the privilege of being a military advisor and a teacher in the Imperial Guards, and were both granted the title of Commander of the Imperial Guards.

From then on, all eighteen of them had spiritual salaries to eat and the power to write to the court.

When Zhou Yuan thanked the emperor and left, he looked up at the important officials in the court.

There were many humanoid monsters with names, but most of the important officials were normal people.

Although the Emperor of Wei looked old, he was still majestic and powerful, and he had no identity information, so he was also a normal person.

"These guys dared to stare at me before they left. It was a bit rude. I must punish them with a few more glasses of wine during the Lantern Festival."

"Haha... Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will make them drunk when the time comes."

"After all, we are the people of the Great Wei. We are born to be blessed by the emperor and have heard of the name of the Great Wei. How can we not be curious about your Majesty's appearance?"

Perhaps because of the martial spirit, the court of the Great Wei is not as serious as imagined.

As soon as Zhou Yuan and his party left the Five Virtues Hall, they became the topic of the emperor and the ministers to liven up the atmosphere.

Of course, this was a joke limited to the emperor, the three ministers, and the nine ministers. Other ministers could only laugh and could not participate.

"Generals, follow me."

As soon as Zhou Yuan and his party walked down the imperial road, the officials of the Taichang Temple who had been waiting for a long time at the Mingshen Terrace came to greet them.

They came to explain the meaning of each position, where to go on duty, and who was the new chief officer.

Through their explanation, Zhou Yuan knew that he had two more chief officers.

One is Taizhong Dafu, and the other is Yulin Jishe Xiaowei.

Taizhong Dafu is a subordinate of Guanglu Xun, one of the Nine Ministers. Zhou Yuan's military affairs are to follow Taizhong Dafu and listen to some of the Wei army's discussions.

However, he has no power to advise, and he doesn't need to serve tea and water. His main purpose is to broaden his horizons and make up for his lack of innate vision.

Yulin Jishe Xiaowei is the archer general of the Yulin Army among the four imperial guards in the capital.

Zhou Yuan's treatment of Yulin teaching is to practice martial arts in the Yulin Army, and by the way, he will be coated with a layer of the emperor's personal army, which will enhance his origin and facilitate subsequent promotion.

It can be said that as long as he enters the Yulin camp, his origin will be gone.

When others mention him again, the first impression will be that he is a personal soldier of the emperor, not a country boy.

This change in identity can enable him to do many things that he could not do before, and can also gain more goodwill support.

"Captain Zhou, please keep the Yulin Lang seal and the Changshi document. With these two certificates, you can enter and leave the Yulin Camp and Guanglu Pavilion."

"Thank you for the guidance of the Taichang Yuan. Otherwise, I don't know where to work."

"Captain Zhou is too polite. These positions are all supplementary positions, not real positions.

I hope you will perform well during your participation in the lectures and not let down your majesty's grace."

After bidding farewell to the officials of the Taichang Temple, Zhou Yuan and his colleagues left the palace.

Their positions are not urgent, and they have a vacation to rest. They will officially take up their duties after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Since the governors of various states will also come to Beijing to pay homage during the Lantern Festival, Zhou Yuan set a private celebration banquet on the 13th day of the first lunar month.

Then he sent letters to the governor of Huaizhou, the lieutenant of Jing'an, the military Sima Cai Cheng, and the lieutenant of Shangle County Cheng Fei.

The general contents of the letters are similar, all describing the experience since entering Beijing and reporting good news.

Only in the letter to Shangle County Lieutenant Cheng Fei did he mention Zhao Ergou from Qiaoxi and ask him to help take care of him.

Then he bought some gifts and went to visit Jiang Mansion in Chongyifang, Dongcheng, which was the home of Jing'an Lieutenant Jiang Ren in the capital.

When he arrived at Jiang Mansion to deliver the visiting card, Zhou Yuan learned that Jing'an Lieutenant had already delivered the letter to his family.

For this reason, everyone in the Jiang Mansion had already made sufficient preparations and waited for him to visit.

However, the generals in the Beijing Camp were strict, so he never went.

When the news that he became the top of the spiritual test spread throughout the capital, everyone in the Jiang family hurriedly changed the scale of the reception.

"Little Master, please take a seat quickly. If you don't come again, I don't know how to explain to my Dalang.

If he knew that I didn't entertain you, he would definitely blame me for not helping him take care of his brothers."

"Uncle misunderstood. It was really because I was too busy taking the test and didn't dare to be distracted, so I delayed my trip.

As soon as I got free time after leaving the palace today, I prepared some greetings and hurried here."

"You, child, are too distant. You are Dalang's good friend. Just treat this place as your own home. Why do you need to bring any gifts?

Wait a minute, I will find some good things to give you, and you will definitely return with a full load."

Jiang Ren's father was also a general in the army, but he was injured and only had one left arm left, so he was idle at home.

After he left, Jiang Ren's wife asked the boy beside her to bow and greet him.

"Uncle's Wu Kui card is really famous. I wonder if you can write one for my child as well."

"Of course, may I ask if your son's name is Wei."

"He actually forgot to tell uncle the name of his child, which is rude. My son's name is Zhen. I hope to borrow uncle's name to increase his military luck."

Jiang Ren's wife looked a little cold, but her love for her child was very direct.

Perhaps she waited until Jiang's father left to ask for the Wu Kui card because she was afraid that each child in the family would get one, which would dilute her son's specialness.

But it didn't matter. Zhou Yuan should take care of the son of Jing'an School Lieutenant Jiang Ren.

Therefore, he not only wrote an invitation to Jiang Zhen, but also personally invited Jiang Zhen to attend his celebration banquet.

Facing Zhou Yuan's invitation, the eleven-year-old Jiang Zhen was very mature and steady. When he took the invitation, he bowed solemnly.

"Thank you Uncle Zhou for the invitation. I won't let you down."
