The sonorous and powerful voice resonated over the banquet, lingering for a long time.
The Emperor's face was grim.
Duke Chong's face was even grimmer.
He looked at Marquis Dongxiang and said coldly, "Defying an imperial edict is a capital offense!"
Mrs. Tang stood up, walked to Marquis Dongxiang's side, and said with a smile, "You are just too obstinate; what harm is there in a name?"
"Just let the brothers from Feihu Village start as the Su Family Army. When they become invincible and the Emperor thinks they can be compared to the Flying Tiger Army led by the Heir of Duke Chong fifteen years ago, he will naturally grant them the name Flying Tiger Army."
"To go from rejection to recognition, it takes outstanding military achievements, not mere words."
Mrs. Tang's voice was gentle, akin to willows gently brushing the surface of a lake, creating ripples.
What she said was what the entire court of civil and military officials wanted to say.
