Chapter 332 Military Parade

September 18th, the 14th year of the Shoei era.

Tuoba Wugou returned to Yunmengze alone to discuss with his family members, and brought a lot of information about Fairy Peak, Canglong Peak, and the various treatments of the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.

All the cultivators in the Tuoba family were shocked by the generosity of Emperor Zhengyong.

If it is really as calculated by Emperor Zhengyong, the monthly salary and spirit stones issued to the joining monks will far exceed the inventory of their Tuoba family!
For this reason, the remaining monks in the clan had a heated discussion on this matter.

Even Tuoba Wufeng, who was seriously injured and had long been like a candle in the wind, came out to discuss the matter.

September 21st, the 14th year of the Zhengei era.

Tuoba Wufeng dragged his seriously injured body and said, "Emperor Zhengyong is a man of great strategy, wise and intelligent, recruiting talents and caring for the world. It seems that we are judging him by our own standards."

"In the past, I was bewitched by a traitor and had no choice but to assassinate Emperor Yu Zhengyong, but I was convinced by him."

"This is the heart of an emperor!"

"This condition is also an opportunity for cultivators like us."

"My Tuoba family is willing to merge into the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty as a whole!"

September 24th, the 14th year of the Shoei era.

Tuoba Wujiu and Tuoba Wuying, two late-stage Qi training cultivators of the Tuoba family, were the first to arrive in the capital.

The subsequent family population is migrating slowly with the assistance of the navy.

According to preliminary calculations, the relocation can be completed in about two months.

And during this period of time, Tianxingzi personally went out to look for the two cultivators, Xiong Gang and Xuanjizi.

After a long talk all night, the three of them made a decision.

A few days later, deep inside the imperial palace, a palace named 'Palace of Samsara' was completed.

Zheng Yi dispatched a large number of imperial guards and warriors from the Shangwu Division to guard it heavily.

At the same time, Xuanjizi also personally stationed here to guard it.

When it was opened for the first time, a total of twenty-six soul lamps were sent into the Hall of Reincarnation.

These eighteen soul lamps belong to three seniors in the late stage of Qi training: Tianxingzi, Xuanjizi and Xiong Bin.

There are nine disciples: Xu Fengxiong, Shi Xiaofeng, Tong Tao, Zheng Chengwen, Lu Qing'er, Xia Houling, Dai Shu, Aunt Mei, and Chen Hai.

There are eight concubines including Tuoba Qingying, Cui Xiabing, Yuechan, Zhuang Yuheng, Dong Yunjie, Dong Yunyu, Princess Lingyin, and Yang Liuqing.

As well as the six Tuoba family cultivators who have recently joined the Dayu Immortal Dynasty: Tuoba Wugou, Tuoba Wuying, Tuoba Lingyun, Zhao Qingshan, Tuoba Lingshan, and Wang Xiaoyu.

Twenty-six lamps.

These are all the monks under Zheng Yi who have spiritual roots and have embarked on the path of cultivation in the past ten years.

Under his command, whether willing or not, all of them contributed a bit of their soul power, thus condensing into soul lamps.

From then on, this group of people were truly loyal to him!
Except Wang Anshi.

For some unknown reason, Wang Anshi had spiritual roots and spiritual energy fluctuations on his body, but he was not a cultivator and was unable to separate his soul power to light the soul lamp.

It's really weird.

However, Zhengyi was not worried. He still trusted Wang Anshi very much.

Of course, Zheng Yi believed that no matter whether it was the Shadow Guards, the concubines in the harem, or the children he found from the Spirit Testing Ceremony, they were all 100% loyal to him.

Only the Tuoba family, whose loyalties are unclear, would use such means to control them.

From then on, any cultivator who wanted to join the Dayu Immortal Dynasty had to contribute his soul power and condense soul fire in order to be appointed by him and receive a large salary.

Those who are unwilling to contribute their soul power can only be treated as ordinary subordinates.

Of course, this was the initial setting.

Once the Dayu Immortal Dynasty is truly established and becomes powerful, it will be possible to select a fixed group of people, have them donate their soul power, and condense soul fire.

Only those with high status, talent, spiritual roots and position are qualified to condense soul fire with soul power.

Ordinary cultivators can only be regarded as ordinary subordinates and are not qualified to contribute their soul power and condense soul fire!
Just when Zheng Yi was dealing with the soul fires of many cultivators and establishing the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.

Time passed slowly as he occasionally looked at Bai Zhirui through the fragments of the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror.

In the fourteenth year of Zhengyong, on the first day of October, the Azure Dragon and the Yellow Road, the Taiyi Star and the Tiangui Star are in the sky. It is auspicious to go anywhere, and whatever you do will be successful and whatever you ask for will be granted.

Good luck.

On this day, as early as half a month ago, countless people rushed to the capital from all over the country.

Countless people poured into Youzhou and Binzhou in the north, Yongzhou and Liangzhou in the west, Qingzhou and Jizhou in the east, and especially Jiangzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places in the south.

As early as a month ago, news broke that the imperial court was preparing to hold a military parade.

This was the first time in history that Dayu had been established for more than 300 years, but had never heard of a military parade.

However, now that Dayu had released a military parade to celebrate its achievements in pacifying the chaos in the world, it immediately attracted the attention of the world.

Not only the people of Dayu, but also some small countries around Dayu sent a large number of delegations to visit.

At the same time, under the command of Tian Xingzi, teams carried valuable gifts to various states of Dayu and marched through some deep forests and famous mountains and rivers.

In addition to a large number of various gifts, the most important things that accompanied them were the fifty spirit stones hidden in the team and a handwritten letter from Tian Xingzi.

The destination of these teams is to find the places where many cultivator families are located in Dayu, or the places where individual cultivators gather.

Their purpose is obvious, which is to summon all the cultivators in Dayu.

The first day of October.

As soon as the sun rose, countless people poured in from twenty different gates of the capital, all heading towards the imperial palace.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi had anticipated this situation and arranged a large number of imperial guards and soldiers from the Five Cities Army to maintain order in the streets.

At the same time, a large number of temporary seats and bamboo sheds were built at the gate of the palace, especially where the military parade was held, to accommodate many people, officials, etc.

Of course, the number of people pouring into Jincheng this time was really too large, at least more than 200,000 people.

If the original people in the capital are included, the number is even greater.

"Huge crowds" is not enough to describe the crowds in this grand event.

Outside the palace, among the bustling crowd, countless people followed the command of the imperial guards and poured into different viewing positions in batches.

The military parade had not yet taken place, but a large number of imperial guards were already standing guard outside the city walls.

In front of the White Star Viewing Platform are many viewing platforms specially prepared for special groups such as foreign envoys, officials, the Martial Arts Department, the military, and representatives from other states and counties.

"Wow! So many people!"

"Many days ago, many outsiders flocked to the capital. The inns in the capital have been eating out for a long time!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is Dayu's first military parade, of course there are a lot of people coming!"

"Brother Chen, what is the military parade?"

"I don't know either, but my uncle works in the Ministry of War. According to him, this military parade was commanded by His Majesty himself and led by General Xu!"

"Your Majesty? General Xu?"

"By the way, has the matter with General Xu's clan been dealt with?"

"Hush... Keep your voice down. Didn't His Majesty say that he would not pursue the matter further..."

"Today the whole country is celebrating, don't talk nonsense about state affairs!"

"Alas, I left home a little early today and didn't eat anything. I'm a little hungry now..."

"There's food for sale over there."

"Really?"

“Dumplings! Steaming hot dumpling!” “Chuibing! Chuibing!”

Many people were talking and clamoring.

In front of them, the crowd of dignitaries sitting on the viewing platform were also whispering about something.

"I heard that there will be cultivators appearing in this military parade!"

"really?"

"It's absolutely true! I have a clansman on duty in the Shangwu Division. Many people in the Shangwu Division were borrowed by the Immortal Master. I don't know what they are doing."

"Master...If we can really meet you, it will be a great honor for us!"

"Your Majesty is truly an emperor of all ages. He is able to recruit so many immortal masters!"

"What a pity! Your Majesty is also a cultivator. I heard from the ministers that Your Majesty hasn't attended court for more than half a year!"

"Shh...shut up!"

"Your Majesty, your actions will be handled by the nobles in the court. We can just wait patiently."

"Yes, yes, the ceremony will begin soon..."

On the other side, many envoys from other small countries looked at the crowd around them and the towering imperial palace in the distance with shock, fear, or disdain.

The largest number of them came from the envoys of the State of Wu.

"Humph! What does it matter if Dayu has a lot of people? Under the millions of cavalrymen of my Wu Kingdom, they can only retreat to the Black Mountain Pass obediently, hahahaha~"

"The people of Dayu are nothing but two-legged sheep. The warriors of our Wu Nation can take their lives at any time!"

"Hehehe... In the entire Dayu, the only person who can be called a 'hero' is Xu Mujun!"

"It's a pity that Xu Mujun doesn't know what's good for him. The Empress of Wu wanted to marry him and even offered him the title of King, but he refused. How despicable!"

"The 'military parade' held by Dayu this time is nothing more than a show of force to gain popularity. Once we have investigated Dayu's strengths and weaknesses, it will be time for our Wu Kingdom to march south!"

Several envoys from the Wu State ignored the strange looks from the people around them and were still talking loudly.

The envoys from other small countries around them subconsciously moved away from them and gathered in groups of three or four.

"As expected of Dayu, there are too many people!"

"I heard that their army has millions of troops and they have firearms..."

"Hiss... Firearms! Is that the kind of terrifying thing that can destroy a city in a day?"

"That's right! The Black Mountain Pass of Wu State was taken down by the firearms of Dayu. Now the entire Black Mountain Pass is impregnable. Wu State has mobilized hundreds of thousands of cavalry, but it is helpless against this..."

"I heard that Dayu actually sent troops to defend the country in the early stages..."

"I know about this matter. It seems that the king of Wei died, and the third son of Wei, together with the former king and queen, launched a rebellion, ascended the throne, and forced the former king's son to revolt."

"The former prince escaped to Dayu under the protection of several loyal men. We beg Dayu to help!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Wei State is located in the mountains, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. In history, Dayu was defeated twice in Wei State. I wonder if this time..."

Countless people were talking on and off the viewing stand, their voices and expressions showing great excitement.

On the wall of the imperial palace, Zheng Yi was walking slowly, surrounded by countless people.

Beside him was Queen Lu Lin'er.

Other concubines followed behind her, and soon they arrived at the main seat on the city wall.

"Your Majesty, I bow to you. May our Emperor live long and long!"

Under the leadership of Zheng Xuanyue and Xu Mujun, all civil and military officials immediately knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor".

And the shouting was carried outside the city wall by the wind and was heard by the imperial guards and the people outside the city wall.

In an instant, shouts came from the crowd.

"I kowtow to Your Majesty. May our Emperor live long and long!"

"I kowtow to Your Majesty. May our Emperor live long and long!"

"I kowtow to Your Majesty. May our emperor live long and long..."

Countless people either knelt down or, because the place was too small, bowed and shouted "Long live the emperor!"

Even the large number of royal relatives, clan officials, envoys from foreign countries, etc. on the viewing stand knelt on the ground to salute.

"I kowtow to Your Majesty. May our Emperor live long and long...!"

The sound was carried along by the wind and traveled far and wide.

Zheng Yi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also nodded slightly at this time.

Looking down from a high place, looking at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, as well as hundreds of thousands of civilians, he couldn't help but feel a sense of confidence and satisfaction in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was just a small shadow, living from hand to mouth.

How could he have imagined at that time that he would end up where he is today?
Emperor Dayu, the current emperor, is respected by the world and supported by countless people?
From now on, it can be proved that he is the real chosen one, the real emperor!
"Everyone is safe!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

“Thank you, Your Majesty…!”

"Xu Qing."

"Your Majesty, here is my minister."

"How are the preparations for the military parade going?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, just waiting for your order."

"it is good……!"

Zheng Yi stood up, followed by Lu Lin'er, and then all the civil and military officials filed into the city wall.

With the appearance of Zheng Yi, countless white stars outside the city wall subconsciously stopped talking and looked at Zheng Yi from afar.

With the support of magic power, Zheng Yi's voice spread throughout the palace and even the entire capital city.

The following is an example of an ancient emperor's sacrificial text to heaven and earth:

"In the fourteenth year of the Zhengei era, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I personally led all the ministers to pay respect to heaven and earth and offer a small tribute."

"Look up at the vast sky, look down at the earth. The great virtue of heaven and earth gives birth to all things and nurtures all living things. I have received the mandate of heaven and rule the world. I am cautious and diligent day and night."

"I offer this sacrifice today and pray to God: good weather, good harvests, abundant crops, and peace and prosperity for the people. May the gods protect our country, eradicate disasters, stop wars, keep our frontiers peaceful, and bring peace to the world."

"I will work hard to govern the country, implement benevolent policies, select virtuous people and appoint capable people to positions to benefit the people. I will uphold the rites and teachings, cultivate good customs, and make the people know propriety and righteousness, practice filial piety and respect for elders, be friendly and friendly with their neighbors, and share the blessing of peace."

"I humbly pray that the gods of heaven and earth will see my sincerity, show mercy and bless me, and keep my country prosperous and blessed forever."

"Only today, I will hold a military parade to inform heaven and earth, to show the might of Dayu, and to bring victory to heaven and earth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless voices rang out, shouting "Long live the emperor".

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live His Majesty~!"

"Long live!!!"

Zheng Yi turned around and said, "Xu Qing, you are the commander of this parade, so you will be in charge."

"Here!"

Xu Mujun looked respectful and stepped forward and said, "The military parade... begins!!!" (End of this chapter)
