The ceremony continues.
As army formations appeared one after another, everyone present, including civil and military officials, distinguished nobles, and ordinary people, cheered continuously.
Some people on the viewing platform even stood there excitedly and kept waving their hands.
This military parade greatly increased the self-confidence and cohesion of the people of Dayu.
Not just dignitaries, but more common people.
"Dad, I want to be a soldier when I grow up!"
"Good son, you did a good job, dad supports you!"
"The soldiers of Dayu are different from the soldiers of the past. The military salary alone is as much as five taels a month, and there are various allowances!"
"If one person serves as a soldier, the whole family will be honored...!"
Amidst the noisy discussion, the military parade came to its final stage.
"Look! What is that!"
"I know, that's a hot air balloon!"
"Hot air balloons! So many hot air balloons!"
"I heard that this is our Dayu air force, which can attack the enemy from the sky!"
"There is someone up there! A god, a god!"
"Too strong..."
"Flying over!"
Amid the exclamations, colorful hot air balloons took off from a distance and flew towards the square one after another.
There are a total of fifty of these hot air balloons, all driven by dedicated personnel, serving as the 'air force' of Dayu's army.
After so many years of research, the Dayu Ministry of Industry's research on hot air balloons has reached a very high level.
Especially a few years ago, under the order of Zheng Yi, personnel from the Ministry of Industry were dispatched to discover a kind of "black water" that could burn in Binzhou.
The research on hot air balloons has reached an explosive stage.
Some people in the Ministry of Industry are even dreaming of building a 'giant ship' that can travel in the air!
If this giant ship is successfully developed, it will be able to lift at least fifty people into the air at one time.
By then, Dayu's air force will be even more powerful!
But for some reason, this plan was put on hold for a year when it was submitted to the cabinet.
There are even rumors that His Majesty does not intend to build a flying ‘giant ship’. ’
That giant hot air balloon called...an airship.
"What the hell is that? It can actually fly!"
In the crowd, several mysterious people stared at the hot air balloon in mid-air, their eyes full of shock.
"It can actually fly? Although it is very slow, I can destroy it all by myself, but..."
"I heard it's called a hot air balloon? Strange, how does it fly?"
"Is it the work of those Taoist friends who took refuge in Dayu's court? Assisting Dayu with the art of refining weapons?"
"This...such a number of weapon refining requires a large amount of spiritual stones to support it. How come there are so many Yu spirit stones?"
"Hehehe, as far as I know, the Dayu court has sent out several teams to win over the Tang family of Shuzhou, and they all brought a large number of spiritual stones!"
"Hiss... is it true or false?"
"How did you know?"
"I have some connection with the Du family in Beimang Mountain. I got the news from them."
"The Du family in Beimang Mountain? Are they going to be born too?"
"I don't know..."
"Bang!"
While many people were discussing it, a dull explosion suddenly came from the fifty hot air globes that had floated directly above the square.
Balls were thrown from the sky by them, and then exploded violently in mid-air.
In an instant, a large number of colorful petals carrying golden silk suddenly exploded in the air and fell from the air.
"Colorful flowers!"
“So beautiful!”
"It smells so good..."
Countless people and children shouted, scrambling to grab the colorful petals and golden threads falling from the air, and the whole square was very lively.
With the arrival of a large number of hot air balloons, this magnificent military parade also came to an end.
"My dear friends."
On the upper floor of the city gate, Zheng Yi said: "Follow me down."
Xu Mujun was the first to say: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Later, surrounded by many ministers, Zheng Yi took the lead to arrive at the city gate, got on his horse, and climbed onto the 'Dragon Blood Horse' that came as tribute from Heishanguan Pass.
"唏伦~!"
The dragon-blooded horse made a series of hooting sounds, and then, surrounded by many ministers, it galloped out.
"Father is so mighty!"
At this time, there was still a group of people parked on the city gate tower.
It was the many concubines headed by Lu Lin'er, as well as the princes, princesses, etc.
At this time, Zheng Chengji, the eldest son of the emperor, who was in the center of the crowd, looked at Zheng Yi and the civil and military officials downstairs of the city gate, and said subconsciously.
Next to him were the second prince Zheng Chengwu, the third prince Zheng Chengrui, and the fourth prince Zheng Chengqian.
These four princes were all a bit precocious because they were born earlier and because of their mother's clan.
Although he is less than ten years old, he is somewhat similar to adults in terms of speech and communication.
Zheng Chengrui raised his head and said innocently: "Brother, you can follow me. Didn't my father prepare a pony for you? It's waiting downstairs at the city gate."
"Hmph!"
Zheng Chengji snorted arrogantly and said, "Brother, I haven't learned to ride a horse yet. How about I take you with me when I learn?"
"Really? Thank you, brother!"
"Brother, you haven't learned to ride a horse yet?"
Zheng Chengwu on the side curled his lips and said: "I learned how to ride a horse last year, and I even shot a deer!"
"Shooting a deer? The Master teaches us that we should be compassionate and teach the world with benevolence and righteousness. At such a young age, you kill at will..."
"Are you annoyed~"
Zheng Chengwu waved his hand and said, "I just killed a deer. My father didn't even praise me, so why are you talking about me?"
"Besides, I, Dayu, will soon conquer the world. The royal family is proficient in martial arts. My father even said that he would personally take me hunting!"
"The sage said: When a disciple enters, he will be filial, and when he goes out, he will be disloyal. He will be sincere and trustworthy. He will love others and be kind. If he can do what he can, he will learn literature."
Zheng Chengji shook his head and said: "Second brother, Master said, now that the world is settled, we should rule the world with civility. When can you change your temper of fighting and killing?"
"You...!"
Zheng Chengqian whispered: "Big brother and second brother, can you stop arguing?"
"Ji'er, what are you talking about?"
At this moment, Lu Lin'er, dressed in a phoenix robe, came over. Next to her were Xu Qingluan, Cui Xiabing, Lan Lingrong and others.
Zheng Chengji said respectfully: "I have seen my mother, I have seen Concubine Cui, Concubine Duan and Concubine Lan."
"No need to be polite."
"What are you talking about?"
"The child is discussing the words of the sage with his younger brother."
"Oh?"
The girls became interested, and Queen Lu Lin'er even asked happily: "What did you say? Tell all the ladies."
"Yes, Queen Mother~!"
Upstairs at the city gate, the concubines and princes were chatting and laughing in harmony.
At this time, Zheng Yi had already brought Xu Mujun and several cabinet ministers to the place where the soldiers gathered.
As Zheng Yi moved forward, the eyes of many soldiers at the front stared at Zheng Yi, turning as he moved forward.
"Soldiers, thank you for your hard work!"
Zheng Yi waved and received loud shouts from many soldiers in response.
"Be loyal to Dayu!"
Today's military parade originally had a monk coming forward, and Xuan Jizi, Xiong Gang, Tian Xingzi and others were already prepared.
But after careful consideration, Zheng Yi gave up the idea.
Instead, Tian Xingzi was asked to visit many monk families with gifts and secretly spread the news to attract many casual cultivators.
The monk, for Zheng Yi, is the secret weapon in his hand. He would not let many monks appear in front of ordinary people unless necessary.
The team continued to move forward, and the soldiers in the second phalanx focused their eyes again.
"Soldiers, thank you for your hard work!"
"Serve the people!"
"Soldiers, thank you for your hard work!"
"Death serving His Majesty!!!"
The shouts sounded extremely loud and clear in the noisy square.
In this case, Xu Mujun and others who were following Zheng Yi were already filled with tears.
This is Dayu.
This is His Majesty they are loyal to!
With your majesty and soldiers like this, why should Yu worry about being uncertain? Why should Yu worry about being insecure?
Such a grand occasion lasted until late at night.
The people in the square had already dispersed.
Banquets began to be held all over the capital.
No matter whether it is in the civil and military palaces, the only remaining aristocratic families, the mansions of wealthy businessmen, or even the homes of ordinary people, dinner parties have begun to be held.
In important neighborhoods and theaters, shadow puppet performers, opera singers, and jugglers began to cheer, and they used all their skills to win unanimous applause from the people of the capital.
Outside the capital, in many state-owned factories, more than 200,000 factory workers also gathered for dinner under the command of their respective captains and managers.
A large number of actors, jugglers, etc. were even invited to celebrate the occasion.
That night, the capital was bustling with joy and lights, all night long.
In the palace, the lights also illuminated the entire palace, making the palace look like daylight.
The gate of Baiyujing was opened, and Zheng Yi and all the civil and military officials held a banquet, drank and had fun in the hall.
In Bai Yujing's square, there were also a large number of low-level officials and soldiers, as well as invited elderly people over seventy years old, who were also having fun at the spouses' forum.
"My dear friends, please drink this cup to the full."
"Long live your Majesty!"
Zheng Yi raised his wine glass, and many officials immediately stood up respectfully.
After shouting "Long Live the Mountain", everyone drank the wine one after another.
Accompanied by bursts of crisp pipa sounds, groups of singing girls swam out from all over the hall, spread out their enchanting postures, and began to dance the dance they had rehearsed for a long time.
The dancing postures were swaying, like singing and dancing in awe, and many civil and military officials nodded incessantly.
Zheng Yi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also looked at the dancers in the hall with satisfaction, his eyes full of smiles.
Most of these dancers look to be in their teens, but they are all outstanding in appearance and figure.
Especially the main dancer, who has a plump waist, beautiful eyes, and an absolutely beautiful appearance.
If you look closely, you can see that she is somewhat similar to Queen Lu Lin'er.
"Your Majesty~"
Lu Lin'er came over and said softly: "The people dancing tonight are all the show girls of this year. I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied?"
"Hmm~"
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, bright eyes, graceful and tender, Lin'er, you did a good job this time."
Compared with the first time we met, Lu Lin'er today is a little less green and a little more enchanting.
Moreover, her many years of career as a queen have made her temperament even more solemn at this time.
In Zheng Yi's opinion, Lu Lin'er today is more like a ripe peach, which will drip water when you pinch it. It is really tempting.
Lu Lin'er also smiled charmingly and said: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the person who leads the dance..."
"Leading the dance?"
Zheng Yi looked at it carefully, and then focused on Lu Lin'er: "This woman is charming but not charming, delicate but not pretty, and she is somewhat similar to you, the queen~"
Lu Lin'er blushed shyly and said, "This girl's name is Lu Xian'er, and she is my concubine's...niece."
"Huh?"
"She is also one of the show girls."
"Haha, yes, yes, well, then tonight... let Lu Xian'er serve you in the Queen's Kunning Palace, how about it?"
"Your Majesty, you~"
Lu Lin'er's beautiful eyes were stunned, and then she said with shame: "You are really a...foolish king!"
"Hahaha~"
With shouts of "Long Live the Mountain", the dinner party gradually came to an end.
Under the respectful farewell of many civil and military officials, Zheng Yi returned to Kunning Palace with the Queen and Lu Xian'er, surrounded by a large number of eunuchs and maids.
And many civil and military officials also dispersed on their own.
The moon was sparse, the night wind was blowing, and the entire capital and palace gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Inside Kunning Palace.
On the large bed, Zheng Yi hugged Lu Lin'er on his left side and leaned against Lu Xian'er on his right side, sighing with satisfaction.
Perhaps it was because of her new menstruation, Lu Xianer's face was full of tears at this time, her brows were tightly knitted together, and she seemed to have fainted.
At this time, Zheng Yi entered the depths of the sea of consciousness and connected to the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.
[Absorb pure Yin energy, life span +16. 】
A sixteen-year-old girl becomes an adult overnight.
Unfortunately, for Zheng Yi, it was just an ordinary exercise.
Without spiritual roots, he is just a mortal.
It was destined that Lu Xianer's future life would become dull.
His belief moved again, and another series of information appeared in front of him.
【Lord: Zheng Yi】
【Talent 1: Yin and Yang】
【Talent 2: Illusion】
【Lifespan: 34/123】
[Spiritual roots: water (high grade 4580/10000), earth (middle grade 1000/1000), wood (medium grade 1000/1000), gold (medium grade 1000/1000), fire (low grade 100/100), wind (middle grade) 1000/1000)】
【Mana: 5850/80000】
[Physique: The body of a hundred flowers]
[Comprehensive Strength: Eighth Level of Qi Training]
[Innate Spiritual Energy Progress (Level 2): 0/20 (Banned)]
[Progress of Three Thousand Worlds (Level 2: 10/10 (banned)]
Today, his entire spiritual root attributes have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The water attribute spiritual root has already broken through to the top level due to the addition of Tuoba Qingying.
Over time, as long as he works hard to cultivate both, he will surely enter the realm of top-quality spiritual roots.
As for the spiritual roots of earth, wood, and metal, their consciousness has reached the middle level of perfection.
Unfortunately, there is no corresponding high-grade spiritual root, which makes the spiritual root qualifications stagnant.
For this reason, Zheng Yi had nothing to do, either continue to absorb women with middle-grade spiritual roots, or look for women with high-grade spiritual roots.
I hope this draft girl can give him a surprise.
In addition, his cultivation has reached the top of the middle stage of Qi training, and is only one step away from the late stage of Qi training.
Canglan Realm Bai Zhirui has been arranged. After this military parade, he is going to retreat for a period of time to improve his strength.
Strive to enter the foundation building period.
The sky was getting brighter, Zheng Yi did not disturb Lu Lin'er and the other two, but summoned the palace maid alone, and walked out in the dragon robe on the boat.
Outside the dim Kunning Palace Square, there was a thin old man waiting for Zheng Yi.
"Mr. Chen?"
Zheng Yi seemed to have known it for a long time and said quietly: "What's the matter?"
"Old slave, see your Majesty!"
Chen Liancang walked over quickly and said respectfully: "There is a group of people asking to see you."
"Oh, who is it?"
"Loose cultivator." (End of this chapter)
