Chu Anping knew that to realize this grand plan, he had to rely on the joint efforts and cooperation of the Wei court officials and the people. Although it was impossible for every citizen of Wei to understand all the details of the plan, at least the six ministers of the court had to be aware of the plan.
Because once the war really breaks out, they will be responsible for the distribution of supplies and the dispatch of troops, which is crucial to the smooth progress of the war and requires their full cooperation.
In addition, they also need to coordinate and cooperate to ensure that when His Majesty needs a large number of ships in the future, there will be sufficient ships for His Majesty to dispatch and use. Chu Anping also knows that such a major decision cannot be made by him alone. He must ask His Majesty for approval and instructions.
Therefore, Chu Anping decided to go to the palace to meet His Majesty in the afternoon. He chose the afternoon because he knew that if he went to the palace in the morning, Chu Fan might not have gotten up yet, and he would not be able to see Chu Fan then. So in order to ensure that he could meet His Majesty smoothly and report on his work, Chu Anping chose the afternoon time.
Chu Anping met Chu Fan in the garden outside his bedroom. He saluted respectfully and said in a solemn tone, "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report to you."
While Chu Anping was speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Liu Ruyan who was following behind Chu Fan. He did this because Liu Ruyan was not from the Wei Kingdom, and if things really developed as he had imagined, then the Canglan Empire would most likely be the target of His Majesty's conquest.
If Liu Ruyan were here and knew about His Majesty's plan, she would most likely pass the news back to Canglan, adversely affecting Wei's future strategy. Therefore, Chu Anping was always extremely cautious when mentioning sensitive topics to avoid unnecessary leaks.
While eating his "breakfast", Chu Fan said to Chu Anping, "Sixth Master, just tell me what you want to say. There's no need to be so reserved."
Seeing that Chu Fan hadn't asked Liu Ruyan to avoid the topic, Chu Anping carefully avoided the sensitive topic, only mentioning the issue of the students' textbooks and asking Chu Fan questions. He understood that some things needed to be discussed at the appropriate time and place.
Chu Anping said to Chu Fan, "Your Majesty, regarding your request for Qin Hui to compile textbooks for the students, I think it is not appropriate. Although Qin Hui is talented, his ideas may not fully conform to the national conditions and cultural traditions of our Wei State."
Chu Fan didn't know why Chu Anping had objections to Qin Hui's compilation of textbooks for students, but Chu Fan knew that Chu Anping's judgments always had deep meanings, so Chu Fan asked:
"Sixth Master, why do you think Qin Hui's textbook writing is inappropriate? Is it because you doubt his knowledge is deep enough, or is there some other unknown reason? Please elaborate. I would also like to hear your opinion."
Chu Anping pondered for a moment, then slowly replied, "Although Qin Hui is talented, he has a sinister streak. He is keen on vying for power and has even been addicted to forming cliques and flattering others.
If he is allowed to write textbooks, I worry that he will use this opportunity to instill his own selfish ideas into students, thereby influencing their thinking and potentially shaking the foundation of the country."
Chu Fan couldn't help but think of a notorious figure on Blue Star. Although Qin Hui in this world hadn't caused any real damage to the foundation of Wei, if someone else had been emperor, the situation might have been very different.
Recalling Qin Hui's impeachment of Mu Yunfeng, Chu Fan ignored her because he wanted Mu Yunfeng to gain enough prestige and military strength for a rebellion. At the same time, Chu Fan established the Royal Affairs Office to allow the royal princes to establish their own power within the court and rebel. This effectively cut off Qin Hui's path to power.
Furthermore, since Chu Fan rarely attended court and rarely summoned court ministers to the palace to discuss state affairs, Qin Hui's chances of gaining power through flattery were slim. Therefore, in this particular world, Qin Hui's ambitions were difficult to realize, and he did nothing to endanger the stability of the Wei Kingdom.
In reality, many historical achievements cannot be accomplished by a single person. If Chu Fan had granted this world's Qin Hui greater power and opportunities, Qin Hui might have already caused immense damage to the State of Wei, significantly reducing national strength and causing hardship for the people. It's even possible that the Xiongnu still remain rampant in the border areas, even to this day.
Chu Fan thought about this and nodded in agreement: "Sixth Master's concerns are indeed reasonable. But I have already issued an order for Qin Hui to compile the textbook. It depends on how he will act next.
If he can sincerely care about the students and contribute to education, then I will naturally feel gratified. If he uses this opportunity to seek personal gain, then I will definitely not tolerate it. "
After all, in this world, Qin Hui hadn't done anything to actually harm the State of Wei. If he followed Chu Anping's advice and suppressed Qin Hui without hesitation, wouldn't that be using a trumped-up charge to punish someone who hadn't done anything wrong?
After hearing Chu Fan's answer, Chu Anping understood that Chu Fan had already made up his mind, so he stopped talking. After all, all he had to do was remind Chu Fan to pay attention to this aspect when handling things. That's all.
He knew very well that his responsibility was to make reasonable suggestions for the long-term development of the country, and the final decision-making power lay in Chu Fan's hands.
Seeing that Chu Anping had no intention of leaving, Chu Fan continued to ask, "Sixth Master, do you have anything else to discuss?"
After hearing Chu Fan's question, Chu Anping said, "Your Majesty, I do have something I would like to ask you. However, this matter is quite sensitive. I wonder if Your Majesty and I can discuss it privately?"
Seeing Chu Anping being so cautious, Chu Fan knew that this matter must be very serious. So he signaled Qiu Ya, Liu Ruyan and others to leave, and even did not leave Eunuch Li, who had been following them, to ensure that their conversation would not be overheard by others.
After Liu Ruyan left, Chu Anping slowly asked his question, "Your Majesty, regarding our upcoming grand plan to destroy the Japanese and attack the Xiongnu and Gan states, do we need to inform the ministers of the six ministries?
After all, the actions of the imperial elders last night had already caused quite a stir in Kaifeng, and many officials were uneasy. This morning, they all came to inquire about the situation. If timely action is not taken, I'm worried that this might cause unnecessary panic and chaos.
Furthermore, such a grand war plan also requires the overall coordination of the six ministries to ensure the adequate supply of materials and the effective deployment of soldiers."
