Chu Anping was the first to come to his senses. He asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this women's unit?"
Chu Fan thought Chu Anping would come up and question him directly. After all, this matter should be difficult for an elderly man like Chu Anping to accept. However, Chu Anping's reaction was unexpectedly calm. He just wanted to understand Chu Fan's true intentions.
Chu Fan had no idea that some of the policies he had introduced in the past year had directly overturned the existence of ancestral precepts. Now, this small matter of forming a women's army could not cause any ripples in Chu Anping's heart.
He even wondered in his heart what the deep meaning of His Majesty's actions was and what changes it would bring to the strength of Wei. So even if Chu Anping was an elder of Chu Fan's ancestor generation, he would not do anything to question Chu Fan's decision.
Chu Fan saw that Chu Anping and the other seven members of the Royal Government Affairs Office were not angry at all, but were instead waiting attentively for his explanation. Chu Fan felt very helpless. It seemed that forcing these princes of the royal family to rebel was probably not going to work.
Chu Fan took a deep breath and explained, "The enemy of this unit is not human."
Chu Fan's first sentence had Chu Anping and the others on edge. If the enemy of this army wasn't human, could it be ghosts? Could the plot in the legend be true? Did ghosts really exist in this world?
After all, His Majesty was a mysterious being, treated like a god by everyone in the State of Wei. If there were gods, there must be ghosts. The princes began to tremble at the thought. If the enemy was human, they would still have the courage to fight to the death. But if the enemy was a ghost, then they didn't know how to defeat it.
Chu Fan was very puzzled as he looked at the seven people who were shaking constantly. At this time, the four girls of Qiuya, who were Chu Fan's personal guards, knelt before him and cried, "Your Majesty, we should not go and fight the ghosts."
Chu Fan's forehead was full of black lines when he heard this. Why do people in this world have such rich associative abilities?
Chu Fan flicked Qiuya's forehead and said, "What do you mean by ghost? I think you are ghosts. Ghosts that specialize in sucking people's souls."
"If it's not a ghost and it's not a human, then what is it?" Qiu Ya raised her head and looked at Chu Fan at a 45-degree angle, asking in confusion.
Chu Fan was almost melted by this expression. He had never thought that the palace maid he had been with day and night could have such a beautiful and adorable side. Chu Fan felt that his nose was about to bleed.
Chu Fan came back to his senses in an instant. After all, Qiuya and the other four palace maids were more familiar to him than Muxi and the other ladies. Moreover, they stayed with him every day. He could carefully appreciate the beauty of Qiuya and the other four palace maids at any time.
Chu Fan coughed, straightened himself, and said, "The enemy I'm talking about isn't an enemy in the traditional sense, but a disease. There are still many people in Wei who can't afford medical treatment and die from various illnesses. The unit I'm going to form is dedicated to treating patients. I call them medical soldiers."
Chu Anping and the others finally put aside their worries and humbly asked, "Your Majesty, what specific operations do we need for this medic?"
Chu Fan said, "Because writing was inconvenient, most doctors in the past passed down their skills orally, or from father to son. If something went wrong in the next generation, the inheritance of these medical skills would easily be broken. This is a very regrettable thing."
Chu Anping said, "Your Majesty, we understand what you're saying, but books aren't easy to make these days, and we're short of them. Copying them one by one would take a lot of time, and not many people are literate these days, let alone the women of Wei."
Chu Fan also knew this situation, but everything had a solution, and he happened to have some ideas that could solve these problems.
Chu Fan said, "Sixth Master, I understand everything you're talking about, and I have ways to solve it. I just want to ask, if I can solve all the problems you've raised, would the prince from your Royal Government Affairs Office take charge of this matter? If you don't, then I'll have no choice but to let Prime Minister Qin Hui take charge."
How could Chu Anping give up such an opportunity? The birth of a new army will not only bring about many new soldiers, but also many new departments and positions. It just so happens that the men in the royal family are starting to have things to do, while the women in the royal family have nothing to do.
Especially for those unmarried women, if Your Majesty really sets up a female army, then the women in the royal family will have the opportunity to find a new direction in their lives, and will no longer have only the option of getting married and having children.
There were many women, not only those in the royal family, but also among the common people of Wei State. They were unwilling to be ordinary, but they had few other options in this world. Even if they were heroes in their youth, they would eventually be forced to marry and have children because they had no better options.
Your Majesty's newly established women's unit will surely create a storm in Wei State and even in Shengwu Continent. It will surely attract many ambitious people, especially those women who are eager to show their talents and abilities. They will have the opportunity to prove their worth.
Chu Anping immediately replied, "If your Majesty can do what he says, then our Royal Government Affairs Office will take on this task."
Chu Fan said, "So who are you going to send to take over this task? After all, the memorials from the Royal Government Affairs Office still need your comments, and you must remember that we are recruiting medical soldiers who can cure illnesses and save lives, not a place for you to choose a princess. Otherwise, I will not let you go because I see that you are fellow royals."
Chu Anping immediately said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. If that little bastard ruins your plans, don't blame me for pulling out his tendons and skinning him alive."
The other seven princes also immediately nodded to indicate that they understood the seriousness of the matter.
At this time, Chu Hongzhi stood up and said, "Let me lead this unit."
Chu Anping immediately refused, "You absolutely can't do that, kid." The other princes in the Imperial Administration Office also frowned. Chu Hongzhi's romantic exploits had long been circulated in Kaifeng City. This was a man who lived directly in a brothel. Putting him in charge of the women's unit would be like sending a wolf among the sheep. They didn't want to receive an imperial decree from His Majesty to execute Chu Hongzhi in just a few days.
