Just when everyone thought that the emperor would be furious, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace.

Then, a guard rushed in, knelt on one knee and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the Tiger Army has successfully wiped out the rebels in one fell swoop!"

When the news came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

After a brief silence, the princes began to whisper to each other again.

Some people looked happy, secretly rejoicing that the storm had finally subsided; others felt unwilling, thinking that the wealth that should have belonged to them had now fallen into the hands of others.

However, more people were looking at the emperor eagerly, waiting for his decision on how to deal with the seized property.

After all, according to convention, the money always belongs to whoever seized it.

But could the emperor let the Tiger Army take out the things? The emperor had never thought of this.

Ye Zifen bowed respectfully and then slowly said, "Your Majesty, you haven't had a moment's rest for two whole days. Your health is the most important thing, please take a rest. I beg you to summon another imperial physician to take your pulse."

When the emperor heard this, he just waved his hand gently, indicating that there was no need to say more.

Seeing this, the eunuch standing by turned around and ran out the door, hurriedly summoning the imperial physician.

In fact, the imperial doctors had already been waiting in the small hall next to the side hall.

They have been paying close attention to General Zhang Gaoyi's condition from beginning to end, and at this moment, they are gathered together to concentrate on studying the pills!

When the eunuch appeared hurriedly at the door of the small hall, the imperial doctors immediately stopped what they were doing, quickly picked up their medicine boxes, and trotted after the eunuch to where the emperor was, ready to see him.

However, just as the eunuch left, Ye Zifen spoke again to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the ministers in the court have also not slept for two days and two nights. Their families at home must be worried and concerned. How about... Your Majesty, please allow the ministers to go home and visit first?"

When the emperor heard this, he felt waves of irresistible fatigue coming over him like a tide, heavily impacting his mind.

He nodded slightly and said slowly, "Well, then you all should leave. You don't have to go to court tomorrow. You can go home and arrange your family affairs properly."

After that, the Emperor turned his gaze to the Crown Prince, and then ordered: "The follow-up matters of this matter will be fully handled by you, the Crown Prince! In addition, this time the general fought bravely on the battlefield, fought bloody battles, and remained calm when he was seriously injured. He managed to call for reinforcements with wisdom and courage, successfully solved the problem, and turned the tide. Such illustrious military exploits and outstanding achievements are really amazing and extraordinary! After careful consideration, I have decided to confer the title of Chongguo Duke on this brave and fearless general to highlight his unparalleled achievements and great contributions to the country and society."

At this moment, Ye Zifen hurriedly stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty!"

She looked anxious and seemed to have something to say.

Obviously, in his opinion, although Zhang Gaoyi's contributions were worthy of praise, they were not worthy of being conferred such a lofty title as Duke.

However, the emperor did not give him a chance to continue speaking, but raised his hand slightly and said, "No need to say more, I have made up my mind!"

The tone was firm and unquestionable.

After the announcement was made, the emperor slowly stood up.

Seeing that he looked a little tired, the clever eunuch beside him hurried forward to support the emperor and carefully led him towards the side hall.

At this time, Ye Zifen knelt down respectfully with the officials in the court.

When the emperor's receding figure completely disappeared from his sight, Master Hong Er, who had been unable to suppress his anxiety, finally couldn't help but come to Ye Zifen to ask about the situation at home.

However, before he could take a step, Master Hong, who had hurried over, stopped him and shook his head gently to indicate that he should not act rashly.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zifen nodded slightly to the two masters of the Hong family, indicating that she was fine and asked them to rest assured.

Then, she did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly stood up and ran towards the side hall.

Master Hong lowered his voice and said, "Zifen has entered the palace now, so I believe everything is fine at home. We must not go and disturb her at this moment. Besides, Duke Chongguo was just injured, and the emperor has gone to the side hall. Zifen must hurry over to serve him."

Master Hong Er showed a guilty look on his face and whispered, "Alas, I was too impatient. Forget it, what my elder brother said is absolutely right. Let's go, let's go home quickly! We were lucky enough to escape this disaster this time, all thanks to the protection of the general. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid at least one of us brothers would have to explain ourselves here."

Thinking back to the thrilling experience of last night, Master Hong was filled with fear.

But at this moment, the crisis has been resolved, and everything has become a thing of the past. Being an official in this court, ups and downs are commonplace.

Thinking of this, Master Hong couldn't help but let out a long sigh, patted his brother's arm, and then he and Master Hong supported each other and slowly left this majestic and solemn palace.

Their current situation is pretty good. At least the brothers can still support and rely on each other.

However, others were not so lucky and could only rely on their own strength to move forward step by step.

After two whole days, everyone's spirits were exhausted. Standing for a long time had seriously depleted their physical strength, making it difficult for them to keep up with the pace.

You have to know that when in the court, there are still various affairs that occupy everyone's attention, and they can barely hold on by relying on willpower.

But now, not only did he have to keep walking to the palace gate, but each step he took seemed to become increasingly difficult, as if his legs were weighed down by lead blocks.

Fortunately, Ye Zifen reacted quickly at this moment. She quickly signaled to her father-in-law beside her and asked him to arrange some help for the adults.

After all, these officials who are able to attend court meetings and discuss state affairs have been promoted step by step through years of hard work, so they are naturally not too young.

Compared with military officers, civil servants usually focus on clerical work and have relatively weak physical fitness.

After receiving the order, those clever and well-behaved eunuchs acted quickly and came forward to support the officials.

In this way, with the help of the eunuchs and after going through untold hardships, they finally successfully sent a group of officials to the palace gate.

The pillar of the family has not returned in the past two days. No matter which family it is, they will definitely send people to the palace gate to inquire about the news.
