Chapter 1439: Sealing the Tiger Army

Ye Zifen's white clothes blended into the soldiers' silver-white armor.

At the rear of the soldiers were the captured enemy generals, sitting in prison carts.

At the end were the civil and military officials, who still walked on the streets of the capital in the traditional way.

Most of the soldiers of the Blade Army were experiencing such a scene for the first time. They had never seen the people lining the streets to welcome them so warmly.

However, they understood that now was not the time to be distracted, and everyone remained highly alert and focused on the road ahead.

After walking a few steps, the crowd began to shout "Tiger Army" again. The voices were louder and louder, and they were uniform and as firm and powerful as the steps of the Tiger Army.

When Ye Zifen and the others arrived at the street where Fu Ke Lai was located, they saw the banners hanging on Fu Ke Lai from afar. Now there was another banner on the third floor, with the words "Tiger Army" written in large letters on it.

The news spread so quickly that even Ye Zifen was surprised.

The emperor was riding a horse, his eyes attracted by the banner, and he nodded with satisfaction as he walked.

Then he turned to Ye Zifen and asked, "Is this your shop?"

Ye Zifen replied, "I opened it in partnership with others, but I used most of the money to purchase and sell food."

The emperor nodded slightly in approval and continued, "Yes, the idea of ​​writing on cloth is very clever and ingenious. It's very good."

Ye Zifen quickly responded: "I don't know who came up with this idea, maybe the shopkeeper."

As she spoke, she glanced at the people around her.

Soon, the long line arrived at the location of Fukelai.

At this time, Fu Ke Lai was crowded with people inside and out, including not only the shop assistants and kitchen staff, but even the owner Xiang Zhibo was mixed in the crowd.

When they saw the two people in extra costumes, they could no longer suppress their inner pride, especially Xiang Zhibo, who was the first to cheer.

However, this was just the beginning, as the shouts grew louder as they saw the familiar faces of the soldiers behind them.

Among these people, more than 80% are familiar faces to them.

It can be said that they have witnessed the entire process of Fokla from its establishment to the present, and they understand the past of these people.

They had seen these people sneaking out late at night to trade watches, and had also witnessed them traveling back and forth between Lujia Village and the capital.

Their departure made us worried, but now that they are back here safely, how can we not be excited?

The people at Fukelai wanted to cheer, but they knew that they had become soldiers and needed to maintain their military dignity and could not cheer casually.

So they chose to express their inner excitement by shouting, and cheer for the soldiers who made them proud.

Zhang Gaoyi, who was walking beside the emperor, always kept a serious expression on his face. He followed closely behind the emperor, always staying vigilant and guarding the emperor like a protector.

The emperor originally wanted to talk to him, but when he saw how serious he was, he gave up the idea.

After all, there will be many opportunities to speak in the future, so there is no need to rush.

After a tour of the capital, it was discovered that the hardest-working people were not the soldiers who were walking, but the civil servants who were sitting in sedan chairs at the back.

They felt that they had been sitting in the sedan chair for so long that not only did their backs and waists ache, but those who had been fine in the sedan chair before even felt like vomiting after getting out of the sedan chair.

However, the sedan chair was parked in the palace, so they could only endure it. Fortunately, after walking for a while, their physical condition improved.

Everyone finally arrived at Chengqian Hall. The soldiers stood in neat rows outside the door of Chengqian Hall, while Zhang Gaoyi and Ye Zifen walked into the palace.

Ye Zifen stood on the far left, while Zhang Gaoyi walked to the front of all the court officials.

After the emperor sat down, everyone knelt down again to pay homage.

The emperor did not ask everyone to stand up, but turned his head slightly and waved gently to the eunuch beside him.

The father-in-law understood what he meant, took a few steps forward with steady steps, and then carefully unfolded the imperial edict in his hand.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I, the Emperor, have received the Will of Heaven and rule the country. To ensure the safety of the nation, I hereby promote Zhang Gaoyi to be the Grand General of the Tiger Army and to lead the Tiger Army. General Zhang is both loyal and brave, and has extraordinary wisdom and strategy. He has made many outstanding achievements and made great contributions to Daxia, bringing peace to the border. I know his ability very well, so I hereby appoint him as the Grand General and bestow him with a golden seal and purple ribbon to show my respect. The Tiger Army is directly under the command of the Emperor, so here is the Tiger Talisman! The Tiger Army was rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

Zhang Gaoyi straightened his body, looked solemn and dignified, bowed his head reverently, and knelt deeply again.

He shouted: "Thank God for your grace!"

The resonant voice echoed in the court for a long time.

At this moment, Zhang Gaoyi is no longer an ordinary boy from a farming family, but a general of an army, and a great general personally appointed by the emperor.

At this moment, the people outside the door also heard the contents of the imperial edict, and they all knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace!"

The shouts were deafening, as if they were going to break through the sky.

"My dear ministers, please don't bow!" The emperor said, "Stand up!"

Then everyone stood up together.

Ye Zifen was very happy when she saw Zhang Gaoyi and the soldiers outside the door.

After all, this was a glorious moment for the Tiger Army, and the emperor rewarded them with ten thousand taels of gold, which was no small sum.

For those soldiers, this money could help them improve their lives and even allow them to marry a wife.

Moreover, they directly obey the emperor's orders, so even if they are transferred to other military camps in the future, their status will be higher than others.

This way, you never have to worry about being bullied again.

The emperor looked at his ministers with satisfaction and said with emotion: "The situation on the border is no longer as tense as before. I am very pleased that we have such a brave and fearless army in Daxia. I have not let down the late emperor's entrustment, and I have also lived up to the protection of King Rui in the past. How about this, then let's posthumously confer the title of Prince Rui on King Rui and Princess Fu Rui as Princess Fu Rui!"

Ye Zifen couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard this.

She didn't understand why the emperor suddenly made this decision, but she still listened carefully and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

The court officials also expressed their surprise; they did not expect the emperor to suddenly posthumously confer the title of King Rui on him, even though he had been dead for many years.

However, for a dead person, no matter how many posthumous titles he receives, they are just empty honors and will not have much impact on reality.

But they also heard the news that Prince Rui's palace was being renovated, and they wondered what the emperor was planning.

Ye Zifen was distracted when she suddenly heard the eunuch shout again, "Miss Ye, accept the order."
