The matter of the military parade was decided in just a few words between Zheng Yi and Xu Mujun.
The other ministers had no opportunity to interject at all.
Even Cai Dashi agreed smoothly.
Originally, he intended to use the celebration ceremony to increase his own political achievents and thus vie for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
But now, it has been changed into a military parade by Your Majesty and Xu Mujun.
His role as the organizer also beca auxiliary.
However, for Cai Dashi, not only did he have no dissatisfaction, but he even planned to listen entirely to Grand General Xu Mujun on this matter.
After all.
The military parade is definitely led by the military.
He only needs to do his duty, that’s all.
Afterwards, everyone discussed so other matters, and all the cabinet ministers withdrew.
Only Xu Mujun remained behind.
Zheng Yi said, "What else is there, Xu Qing?"
Xu Mujun took a deep breath, and with a sweep of his robe, knelt down, saying solemnly, "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness."
"Xu Qing, what cri have you committed?"
"I have the cri of failing to educate my son properly and failing to instruct my clan properly, causing my clan to run amok in the countryside, bullying n and won, and even committing murder, disregarding the law of the land."
"I beg Your Majesty for punishnt!"
Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "The Xu clan mbers are the Xu clan mbers; Xu Qing is Xu Qing. How could I punish you for the cris of the Xu clan mbers?"
Several months ago, Xu Mujun returned to the capital and, due to the cris committed by his clan mbers, initiated a clan eting.
The specific content of the clan eting was not imdiately known to Zheng Yi.
Later, after investigation by the Shadow Guard, he vaguely learned what had happened.
Xu Mujun wanted to rectify the clan, but he was obstructed by several clan elders who even used clan rules and ancestral plaques to coerce him.
Even Xu Mujun’s elders used ’filial piety’ to force him, causing the clan eting to end unhappily.
In the past few months, Xu Mujun has taken no action and nobody knows what he’s planning.
Xu Mujun said, "Your Majesty, since my clan disregards the law of the land, I ought to be punished."
"However, since they are after all the Xu clan mbers, I want... to use this opportunity to rectify the family."
"Moreover, I also want to rectify the court!"
Zheng Yi flashed a look and said, "What do you an, Xu Qing?"
Xu Mujun suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Xu clan mbers have now grown too big to control, even I have to consider the faces of several clan elders and elders, making the clan mbers increasingly arrogant."
"Not only the clan mbers, but even in the court there are many officials and nobles who actively try to draw close, and they even get involved in the struggle for the succession..."
"Struggle for the succession?"
Zheng Yi frowned and said, "I’m not dead yet, what succession struggle?"
Xu Mujun laughed bitterly and said, "It’s nothing more than for their own interests."
"So, I want to take the initiative to offer you, Your Majesty... a knife."
"Although the rebellion in the south was suppressed, the masterminds behind it were still many noble families."
"So of these families have indeed been eradicated, but others still hide within the Imperial Court."
"I want to take this opportunity... to purge the court!"
Zheng Yi gazed deeply at Xu Mujun and said, "I understand, I agree to this."
No wonder Xu Mujun has not taken any action in the months following the clan eting; it turned out his intentions were here.
Purge the court?
Xu Mujun’s thoughts... truly extend far!
"Go ahead and do it. After the military parade, I will enter seclusion for a while."
"I hope that after coming out, you can give a surprise!"
Xu Mujun bowed his head again, "I... obey the edict!"
After concluding court affairs, Zheng Yi went to Qingying Palace.
Tuoba Qingying was healing her injuries, and Zheng Yi specifically waited for several hours.
When Tuoba Qingying, who had just changed clothes, saw Zheng Yi, she frowned and said, "You... why are you here again?"
"Oh? Not welcoming ?"
Zheng Yi stepped forward, taking Tuoba Qingying’s small hand, and said, "What, my beloved concubine is not welcoming?"
Tuoba Qingying twitched her mouth and said, "Wel-Welco... huh?"
Her eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Zheng Yi with surprise, saying, "How did you break through!"
Eighth-layer Qi Cultivation!
Wasn’t it just breaking through to the Seventh-layer Qi Cultivation before, how did it advance to the eighth so quickly?
Zheng Yi hugged Tuoba Qingying and said, "I’ve always said that I’m a man of destiny, what is a re breakthrough?"
"You..."
Instinctively hugging Zheng Yi’s neck, Tuoba Qingying’s eyes were full of shock.
To advance from the seventh to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation took less than half a year.
Such speed is beyond her reach!
Could it be...
The man in front of her is truly the so-called man of destiny?
[Absorbed Pure Yin Qi, Water Attribute Spirit Root 20;]
[Absorbed Pure Yin Qi, Magical Power 20.]
[Absorbed Pure Yin Qi, Water Attribute Spirit Root 20;]
[Absorbed Pure Yin Qi, Magical Power 20...]
After another round of dual cultivation, he gained a total of 120 points in the Water Attribute Spirit Root, and even his internal Magical Power increased quite a bit.
Tuoba Qingying gasped for breath, taking a full cup of tea’s ti to recover.
She suddenly sat up, grabbing the quilt to cover her modesty with one hand, supporting herself on the bed with the other, and glared angrily at Zheng Yi, saying, "Tell ! Did you master the Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation cultivation technique? Otherwise, how could your cultivation progress so fast!"
"I’ve always wondered why you have so many beautiful won in your harem, yet you only favor those with cultivation, as it turns out, it’s for the Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation!"
"Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation?"
Zheng Yi, resting on the pillow, looked with interest at the exquisite beauty partially exposed in spring light, saying, "Why would you think that?"
"It’s rumored that Demonic Cultivators are adept at taking shortcuts, relying on dual cultivation or the Blood Sacrifice Technique to advance rapidly."
Tuoba Qingying glared at Zheng Yi and said, "You’ve progressed so quickly in cultivation, yet you still deny practicing Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation!"
Zheng Yi laughed, "If it were truly Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation, wouldn’t you feel anything?"
"For instance, do you feel dry-mouthed, have weak knees, or feel like you’re floating to immortality?"
"Yes!"
Tuoba Qingying gritted her teeth and said, "You truly are a Demonic Cultivator, I’ll fight you to the end..."
"Are you a fool?"
Zheng Yi said helplessly, "What I’ve described are just normal experiences after a man and woman have been together."
"Do a little introspection of your dantian, see if your cultivation and foundation have decreased, stop coming up with silly ideas all the ti."
"I..."
Tuoba Qingying paused for a mont, quickly introspected herself, and found that her cultivation not only hadn’t diminished but had even beco more substantial.
"What’s... what’s going on?"
Zheng Yi suddenly beca interested and teased, "I indeed mastered a Secret Technique, but it’s not Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation, it’s the Supre Dual Cultivation Secret Technique!"
"Through this Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, both male and female cultivators can assist each other in dual cultivation, with rapid progress in cultivation."
"Such dual cultivation is excellent, whether for or for the won."
"Otherwise, how could I have so many Daoist Companions, and how else could my cultivation advance so rapidly?"
"Dual Cultivation Secret Technique?"
Tuoba Qingying murmured, her eyes full of thought, her beautiful eyes slightly moving.
Zheng Yi was resting when he suddenly felt a pair of small hands reaching in.
He opened his eyes, seeing Tuoba Qingying beside him, looking hesitant and shy, frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"I, I... would like to..."
