At this moment, the emperor's originally relaxed brows gradually wrinkled slightly, and he fell into deep thought, trying to find the answer to the reason from the bits and pieces of their past interactions and many details.

Could it be that the decisions I made were not wise or intelligent enough, which made her feel worried and keep a certain distance from me?

But after thinking about it, the emperor felt that he was usually kind and lenient towards his subjects, so she shouldn't have such an attitude...

While the emperor was pondering secretly, Ye Zifen on the other side had no idea of ​​the emperor's deep thoughts and ideas.

She was still standing straight and tall as usual, her face was as calm as water and her eyes were as firm as a rock.

At this moment, the only thing on her mind was how she could better devote herself to the court and perform her duties faithfully.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly asked, "Has anything happened in the Ministry of War recently?"

Hearing the emperor's question, the Minister of War stepped forward and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, Duke Chongguo is unfortunately injured, and all affairs of the Tiger Army are now temporarily managed by the deputy generals. It is said that the newly recruited soldiers are currently in an intensive and orderly training stage, but as for the specific situation, someone still needs to go to the Ministry of War to make a detailed report. However, as of now, the relevant report from there has not been delivered."

Ye Zifen walked out of the queue slowly, saluted respectfully towards the emperor on the throne, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I know a thing or two about this matter. As far as I know, the recruitment conditions of the Tiger Army are extremely harsh. Its high requirements and strict standards are the highest among all armies. It is still unknown how many of the soldiers who are currently receiving training will eventually stay and become formal soldiers! Because of this, the Tiger Army is currently unable to report the actual number of soldiers to the Ministry of War."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but frown slightly, and his deep and sharp eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

He asked slowly, "Duke Chongguo's injury this time is a great misfortune for our army and a heavy loss. So, are the deputy generals capable of stabilizing the current situation of the Tiger Army?"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of War stepped forward, clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. These deputy generals are all experienced generals who have fought in many battles. However, military affairs are numerous and complicated. Without a clear number of troops as a basis, many specific arrangements may be missed and difficult to be thorough and meticulous."

After hearing this, the emperor immediately asked, "Can't we let all those soldiers who are in training stay in the Tiger Army?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell into silence, and one could hear a pin drop.

All the ministers' eyes were instantly focused on Ye Zifen.

At this moment, not only the emperor was paying special attention to this matter, but also several princes, respected old princes, and those court officials whose children served in the army, all pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the next answer.

Ye Zifen bowed slightly, her face solemn and frosty, her expression was so serious, as if she was carrying a heavy burden, and she slowly said, "Your Majesty! The reason why the Tiger Army, which is so powerful and famous, is so famous and awe-inspiring is definitely not because of its advantage in numbers, but because of the elite ability of every soldier!"

After saying that, she paused for a moment, and her eyes, bright as stars, slowly swept over the people present, like a cold wind blowing through everyone's heart.

Then, she spoke again: "You know, every soldier in the Tiger Army is a warrior who has the ability to fight ten people at once. However, such extraordinary abilities are not innate, but are forged through hard training day after day and year after year!"

"In the military camp with strict military discipline, high-intensity training scenes are staged every day. Regardless of whether it is extremely cold or hot, or windy, frost, rainy or snowy, these soldiers have never been lazy. Because they know that only by such hard training can they transform themselves into brave and fearless iron-blooded warriors on the bloody and cruel battlefield, charging into battle, killing the enemy and serving the country!"

"After such rigorous training, they will face an even more severe test - an extremely strict assessment system. Only those who are truly exceptional, skilled, and have passed the multiple assessments will be eligible to continue serving in this Tiger Army known as the ace division."

"After all, the Tiger Army has become a banner of our Great Xia Dynasty's army, a trump card that makes those foreign enemies with ill intentions and covetous eyes on us fearful! If we cannot strictly require and check the soldiers, how can we ensure the long-term stability of our vast territory? How can we make those foreign enemies who covet our land and wealth fearful and terrified?"

Finally, Ye Zifen concluded categorically: "Therefore, the issue of whether the soldiers stay or go depends entirely on their actual performance in daily training and the final assessment. Here, there is no personal feelings at all, everything is based on strength and results!"

The atmosphere in the court was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

The officials either kept their heads down in silence or whispered to each other, and each of them had a different expression on their face.

At this moment, the clear and pleasant voice of Princess Fuxia slowly fell, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the silence.

However, her words hit the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer, causing them to fall into deep thought.

Some officials couldn't help but think of their own children sweating profusely and bravely fighting against ten opponents on the training ground, and an indescribable feeling of pride welled up in their hearts.

But when I think about the hard training and hardships the children have gone through, the heartache surges into my heart like a tide.

They couldn't help but ask themselves: In what kind of harsh environment did their children grow up? Can they really persevere through such high-intensity training until the very end?

These questions are like restless butterflies, dancing in the hearts of every official and refusing to stop for a long time.

Among them, those officials who have truly devoted their efforts and made silent contributions to the children are now even more worried and anxious.
