Except for the soldiers guarding the city, other people have begun to resume their peaceful lives.

Officials also began to attend the morning court.

"Your Majesty, Prince Chen and Prince Chu have been resisting the rebels' siege for more than ten days. Some of the rebels are coming from the direction of Henan..."

When the emperor heard that only a small number of rebels were coming, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Now the major enemies in Mobei and the northern border have been dealt with.

"These rebels are nothing to be feared."

"Your Majesty, the rebels in Liaodong have now been stopped."

"Your Majesty, the rebels in Jiangnan were also wiped out by the Prince of Ningyuan."

Hearing these words, the emperor was very happy.

"Your Majesty, the people outside the city have begun to return home."

The emperor looked at them and said with a smile.

"My dear ministers, you have all worked hard this time. I will reward them according to their merits. No matter who it is, as long as they have made contributions, they will not be left without credit."

Whether it was a verbal reward or a sinecure, the emperor was planning to reward them in his heart, and this was also a means of making people submit.

After the emperor returned to the harem, he went to the Empress Dowager's palace on purpose.

Tell the Queen Mother all these good things.

After hearing the emperor's words, the empress dowager was also very happy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Emperor."

"Mother, I am not tired. It is the Queen who has been taking care of me these days. I have seen it all."

The emperor praised Queen Zheng, and Queen Zheng's face was indifferent. She smiled and said.

"Your Majesty, I am not tired."

The emperor suddenly spoke and brought up the matter of appointing a crown prince.

"Mother, Queen, after this incident, I am somewhat thinking of appointing a crown prince. I wonder what you think?"

The Empress Dowager was a little surprised to hear the Emperor's words.

"You thought it was not the right time yet, how come you suddenly figured it out?"

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, the Emperor said.

"Mother, after this incident, I have really figured it out. I also want to hear your and the Queen's opinions. You are the people closest to me..."

Hearing the emperor's words, Queen Zheng laughed in her heart.

She would not believe a single word of the emperor's words. If the emperor really wanted to appoint a crown prince, he would definitely issue an order to let people propose it, instead of asking questions here.

"I have no idea."

"Your Majesty, please let the ministers submit a memorial on this matter. I am from the harem and do not understand these things."

The emperor heard what they said and said again.

"Of course I have to listen to you on this matter. One of you is the empress dowager and the other is the queen." The emperor paused and continued.

"Queen, no matter who becomes the crown prince, I intend to put it under your name."

The Queen Mother was even more surprised when she heard this.

However, Empress Zheng had indeed been wronged over the years. The Empress Dowager did not think there was anything wrong with this statement.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness. No matter who he is, he is my son. I think it's all right."

No matter what the emperor said, Queen Zheng still did not express her opinion.

After the emperor left, he quietly sent people to spread the news in the palace. He wanted to see who would be interested in it.

The emperor also wanted the concubines in the harem to fight each other so that he could watch the show.

When Yang Guifei and Concubine Li heard about this, they were naturally tempted.

In the past, they would definitely not be tempted, but now they are really tempted.

After all, it is normal for the emperor to change his mind after this incident.

"My lady, this is a great joyous event."

"The other concubines will also compete for it."
