Chapter 1674: Go to the Selection Again

In sharp contrast are those officials who have ulterior motives and try to get away with it by finding someone to replace them.

They secretly rejoiced that their conspiracy had not yet been exposed, and prayed in their hearts that they could continue to conceal the truth.

Just as the entire court was in chaos, a firm and loud voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty! Regarding what happened on the day of the Tiger Army selection, after several days of intensive investigation, we have now found out who the impostors are. The selection of soldiers for the Tiger Army was supervised by the Emperor himself, but some people dared to disobey the order, which is truly a heinous act! I ask the Emperor to be vigilant and severely punish these daring people!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was Ye Zifen, who had a righteous look on her face.

She stood in the center of the court with her head held high and her chest puffed out, staring intently at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

As soon as these words were spoken, the already noisy court suddenly exploded.

After hearing this, those officials who had something to hide were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled all over.

Those honest and upright officials showed satisfaction and expectation on their faces, and cast approving glances at Ye Zifen.

In the court, the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly froze, as if time had stood still.

All the ministers' eyes were focused on the emperor who was high above them, as if attracted by a magnet. Everyone had an expression of confusion, nervousness, or expectation on their face, and they were quietly waiting for the emperor to make the final decision.

I saw the current emperor sitting on the magnificent golden dragon throne. His already majestic face was now even more gloomy, making people dare not look directly at him.

In fact, the emperor knew the whole situation clearly. He was well aware that he had secretly let people in.

Faced with such a difficult situation, he was really unwilling to investigate the matter in depth.

However, just as he was thinking about how to start, Princess Fuxia had already taken a step forward and stood steadily in front of the hall.

The eldest princess raised her head slightly, and her sharp eyes like a sword swept across the many ministers of His Highness.

She opened her red lips slightly and spoke again: "I believe you all know the old saying 'Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country'! Today, the Tiger Army is in our Great Xia territory, in the capital. I believe everyone here knows what kind of reputation they have."

At this point, the princess paused for a moment, looked around and continued, "You know, the reason why the Tiger Army has such a great reputation is all thanks to the countless brave and fearless soldiers under its command who fought bloody battles! Don't these soldiers feel pain? Are they really not afraid of death? Of course not!"

The eldest princess became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes flashing with mixed grief and indignation, yet at the same time revealing an unwavering passion.

"Every citizen of Daxia should have the firm awareness of defending the country and facing death with equanimity! This is not only a responsibility, but also our innate mission! Moreover, all the adults here, your children have grown up in a wealthy and prosperous place since childhood, enjoying all kinds of extremely generous resources and conditions. According to common sense, they should have received better education and should be more reasonable and sensible than ordinary people!"

The eldest princess's impassioned speech was like the sound of a huge bell, echoing repeatedly throughout the magnificent and solemn hall. Its sound was deafening and pierced everyone's hearts.

The princess bowed slightly, and continued with a solemn and resolute expression: "Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter."

After saying this, she raised her head and looked directly at the Emperor above with her sharp eyes.

At this moment, the emperor, sitting on the high dragon throne, was tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrests, as if he was thinking about something important.

He frowned and looked worried. He was obviously deeply moved by what the princess said and fell into deep thought for a long time.

The many ministers standing before His Highness looked at each other in bewilderment, each of them remaining silent and not daring to express their opinions easily.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely solemn, as if even the air around it became heavier, making people feel a little depressed and suffocated.

At this moment, Ye Zifen had pushed everyone present into dire straits.

You must know that this decree was issued by the Supreme Emperor himself!

And just yesterday, the retired emperor abdicated the throne to the new emperor. Today, these people dared to turn a blind eye to the imperial edict issued by the retired emperor at that time. Such behavior is simply a capital crime!

For a moment, most people's faces were as gloomy as water and extremely solemn. The atmosphere in the entire court was tense to the extreme, like a taut bowstring that would break at the slightest mistake.

In this suffocating silence, Master Hong II stepped forward resolutely and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think the impersonation incident this time must be because the officials in the court know that their children are not talented and have little knowledge, and they are afraid that they will be embarrassed. In my opinion, it is better to let those who are accused of impersonation go back to the Tiger Army for selection. Even if they are not selected in the end, they can be trained with those who have successfully passed the selection. As for the training time, it can be the same as other soldiers. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

As soon as Master Hong II said this, the originally silent court suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the young emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

The emperor frowned slightly, and his deep eyes were flashing with thought, as if he was carefully considering the suggestion made by Master Hong Er.

After a while, the emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, finally raised his noble head slightly, and slowly glanced at the ministers below. Then, he spoke in a leisurely, steady and majestic tone: "What Master Hong said, after careful consideration, is indeed a solution that can be tried. However, the many details involved in this method still require us, the emperor and the ministers, to calm down and think and discuss it carefully."

As the emperor finished speaking, the originally quiet and solemn court suddenly began to ripple as if a stone had been thrown into a lake.
