His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

When Xu Bing truly stepped into the political affairs of Da Xi, he realized that it was complex and could not be summarized in a few words.

Obstacles are everywhere.

His understanding of the situation in Da Xi deepened. This turmoil had killed several high-ranking officials and countless lower-ranking officials...

The impact was widespread and the harm was immense, throwing the world into chaos. Fortunately, the Xuanjia Army appeared out of nowhere, like ghosts and demons, and quelled the unrest in an instant.

Otherwise, the impact will spread, and the consequences will be terrifying.

As a result, vacant positions were created in the court, and Xu Bing personally selected talented individuals to work together to build the Great Xi Dynasty, while also placing his own trusted confidants in these positions.

However, things are not that simple.

The lists of recommended individuals from various regions almost exclusively consisted of people with clan backgrounds.

Not a single grassroots individual.

He had no choice but to fill the vacancy with a relatively capable and clean candidate so that Dae Hee could operate smoothly.

Even so.

The daily court assemblies were also filled with chatter, with a large number of people saying they wanted to go to His Majesty the Emperor to file a complaint against him.

Not only that…

Within the city of Da Xi, rumors about him were rampant, claiming he was a sorcerer who brought chaos to the country.

Even more extreme, some say he bewitched His Majesty.

……

Three days have passed since the execution of the traitors, and it is also the fifth day after the end of the Tranquil Festival.

In short, there were quite a few rumors and gossip.

However, Xu Bing's prestige was steadily rising.

[Prestige: 30]

His daily, persistent exercise has also yielded considerable progress. Half of his previous physical limitations have been eliminated, and his entire body is now full of energy and vitality, with a strong physique.

Although most people in the court disliked him.

But few dare to make eye contact with him for more than three seconds.

His tall stature, his furrowed brow, and the aura of an imperial tutor spread out... almost no one could resist him.

Everyone felt that Xu Bing seemed like a completely different person.

Knowing the truth about the change of emperors, Song Si felt this far more deeply than others.

During the morning court session that day, she held an incense burner and looked detachedly at Xu Bing, who stood at the very front of the hall.

I just feel...

Although they have the same appearance and the same figure, they are no longer the same person.

Xu Bing was dressed in the robes of the Imperial Preceptor. Although there were many dissenting voices in the court, the court was surprisingly quiet when he strode into the court.

You can hear the needle drop.

That invisible aura enveloped the magnificent golden hall.

Long Wei also lowered his head by half.

Song Si was surprised, but unexpectedly, she did not object to Xu Bing's actions, because to some extent, this was also what Ji Yuan intended to do.

……

After the Zhao and Sun families' homes were searched, a large amount of gold and silver jewelry was found inside. All of it was added to the national treasury, which filled a huge gap in the national treasury.

This money could be used for many things, giving Xu Bing room to maneuver, either to subsidize military expenses or to hoard rice and grain.

One tricky aspect is that whenever he tries to take any major action, a large number of opposing voices emerge in the court.

I won't go into the details of the trivial matters of government affairs.

Xu Bing proceeded steadily, desperately pulling Da Xi back.

In addition, Xu Bing never slacked off in his daily training, and now he has mastered the Nine-Sound Fist to its fullest extent.

With a single punch, nine thunderclaps resounded in an instant.

Its power is astonishing.

During these three days, Xu Bing checked in daily as usual and received a total of three decent items.

[Spell: Wind Blade]

[Essence: Water-Repelling Pill]

[Heavy Weapon: A Thousand-Jin Spear!]

……

Wutong Palace.

Dressed in black robes and carrying a dragon-patterned incense burner, Song Si walked gracefully towards them. Zhou Xiaoyou, who bore the appearance of Ji Yuan, dismissed the eunuchs who were attending to her.

"Sister Song," she said anxiously, "Any leads? Where exactly is Sister Ji Yuan hiding?"

She waited anxiously, worried about Ji Yuan's safety.

Song Si frowned. "Don't rush."

"He didn't kill His Majesty during the Tranquil Heart Festival, which means he won't do it again."

"The most urgent task is to locate Her Majesty and rescue her, and I already have some leads on that."

Just saying.

Song Si suddenly frowned.

She opened the stove she had been holding, and wisps of white smoke drifted out.

She gently blew into the white smoke.

The white smoke instantly scattered in all directions, enveloping the surroundings in a layer of white mist.

That way, you won't have to worry about being watched.

This move is a spell: White Mist.

Song Si is also a Qi cultivator. As mentioned before, the fortune of a country can be inherited by one or two Qi cultivators. Such Qi cultivators usually serve as "national advisors".

Song Si, the master of the Star Gazing Tower who was deeply trusted by Ji Yuan, was such a Qi cultivator.

“The acting commander of the Imperial Guards, Gong Zhonghou, may be one of Xu Bing’s men,” Song Si said. “They are in charge of protecting His Majesty, but in reality, they are monitoring us.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, I've already been exposed."

Song Si pondered, while glancing outwards, where a crow was perched on a distant branch.

"what--"

Zhou Xiaoyou blinked, unsure of what to do. This Xu Bing was too cunning; he had actually sent someone to monitor him!

Song Si continued, "The commander of the Xuanjia Army, Cui Chen, is also a close friend of His Majesty and someone he trusts. However, due to the special nature of the Xuanjia Army, he cannot easily show his face unless it is an important moment."

"Although there is no evidence, I suspect that His Majesty may be hiding in the Imperial Preceptor's residence."

Song Si's eyes flickered slightly.

If she remembered correctly, tomorrow was the military exercise, and she had her own way of dealing with this Xu Bing!

If the plan goes smoothly... tomorrow will be the day this sick man dies!

……

Thanks to the auspicious aura of this blessed place, the vegetation within the Imperial Preceptor's Residence is becoming increasingly vibrant.

Xu Bing practiced every day without stopping, running, doing push-ups, and practicing boxing.

Today he has also entered the profound realm of martial arts.

The blood and qi in the body are extremely abundant.

At the dantian, a profound power was generated, which was extremely mysterious. When this power was added to the fists and feet, it could unleash tremendous force.

No wonder Ji Yuan, who was at the ninth level of the Profound Realm, was so confident of victory from the beginning.

The mere golden rope was indeed no match for her.

Xu Bing added another item to the curriculum: practicing with a gun. The thousand-pound gun was the item he had to sign in with, weighing a thousand pounds.

With Xu Bing's current strength, he would be out of breath after just a few swings.

The profound energy in the dantian quickly ran out of energy. Unlike the vital energy of a Qi cultivator, the profound energy in the dantian is generated from the physical body and has nothing to do with breathing exercises.

The method to increase one's profound power is not difficult; it simply requires two words: "diligent practice."

He constantly used up all his profound power, then recovered, and then used it up again, practicing diligently over and over again.

And this moment.

Forced to stand on tiptoe and covered in sweat, Ji Yuan saw Xu Bing practicing martial arts again.

His brows were furrowed.

This guy is improving every day, while I am... Ji Yuan clenched his fist.

It's not the enemy's cunning that's frightening, but the enemy's combination of cunning and strength.

"Song Si...aren't you going to take action yet?" Ji Yuan murmured.

……

[Prestige: 32]

【Charm: 99】

[Capital of the Great Dao: 5]

Xu Bing checked his own panel and found that he had made further progress.

After washing up, he went to the back room as usual to check on Ji Yuan.

For the past three days, every time he went out, he would tie Ji Yuan up so that her toes barely touched the ground, in order to exhaust her strength.

In the candlelight.

Those fair and tender little feet were very eye-catching.

Every evening is washing up time.

Today is no different.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Bing finally put Ji Yuan on solid ground. She braced herself against the table, her legs going numb.

As an emperor, it's bad enough that you can't be free, but you're also subject to restrictions at every turn.

Whether to stand or sit was not up to him. Ji Yuan tightened his grip, this humiliation lingering in his heart, almost causing him to feel depressed.

however.

When she saw Xu Bing today, she couldn't help but be in a daze for a moment.

Is this person... truly suffering from chronic illness?

She paused for a moment.

Standing before him at this moment, Xu Bing was tall and imposing, with eyes like cold stars.

She's still very fat, but... the difference from before is just too great.

We arrived at the bathroom.

Xu Bing waved his hand, and before he entered, the powerful wind raged across Ji Yuan's body.

"Go ahead," he said calmly.

Ji Yuan's beautiful eyes were tightly closed. She, the dignified Empress of the Great Xi Dynasty, had been repeatedly betrayed by this villain...
