Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

The emperor muttered, "It's so late, what does Jian'er want to see me for?"

He then said, "Okay, the moonlight is beautiful, let Jian'er come and accompany me to enjoy the delicious food and the moonlight."

Eunuch Qi brought Qiao Jianer into the imperial study.

Qiao Lian'er saw that on the emperor's desk were durian, milk coconut water, lychees, and a roasted chicken that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with cumin and chopped green onions. The sweet and roasted aromas were intertwined. From this position, one could just see the bright moon rising higher and higher, shining brightly, covering the red walls, flying eaves, long corridors, courtyards, and palaces.

The view from the emperor's seat is very good.

This old uncle really knows how to enjoy himself, Qiao Lianer thought.

After the greetings, the emperor immediately asked Eunuch Qi to move a chair over.

"Jian'er, please sit down and chat with me about something relaxing." The emperor's brows were filled with joy.

Yes, now the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The emperor does not have many worries. In addition, there are delicious foods every day. He feels that he should be considered the happiest emperor.

Qiao Jianer sat down obediently.

The emperor had someone cut a chicken leg for her.

On the stove nearby, a few pieces of durian were roasting on a sheet of tin foil. The skin had already turned deep orange and the aroma emanating from it filled the imperial study, turning it into a paradise for foodies.

This is also the way of eating that Qiao Jianer taught us, and she also provided the tin foil.

Qiao Jian'er had been busy at home preparing to see the Emperor, so she wasn't actually very full. There was still some room left in her stomach. She picked up her third chicken leg of the day and took a bite, feeling the warm, fresh aroma spread across her mouth. She said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you."

Hearing the word "please", the emperor paused while chewing on a roasted durian. "Jian'er rarely asks me for anything. Now that you've asked, it must be something important."

There was a hint of pampering and indulgence in his tone.

Qiao Jianer said, "I would like to recruit a team of female soldiers. I wonder if the emperor would approve it."

"Female soldiers?" The emperor seemed unfamiliar with the name and a little surprised.

For a moment, he was unable to connect the woman's identity with the word "soldier team", because in this dynasty, or almost all dynasties, female soldiers were not recruited.

What Qiao Jianer mentioned may seem like a trivial matter, but if you look at the bigger picture, it’s hard to say for sure.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Since ancient times, men have protected their country and their families, while women have worked in the fields and wove at home. It is natural for them to cooperate with each other."

"Of course there are talented women among us. If someone can break through and possess an unobstructed brilliance, we won't deny them a chance, just like you, Princess Feiluan. However, most women adhere strictly to the traditions passed down since ancient times."

"This isn't a bad thing for them. During wartime, they can stay home and save their lives. What's more important than staying alive? Everything has two sides. They don't have much room to maneuver, but this also protects their safety to a certain extent."

Qiao Jian'er listened carefully and said, "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. Your Majesty has a heart full of love and care for all his people. It is truly touching."

"However, I feel that as the emperor's subjects, under his protection, the people live a peaceful life. All the people in the world are grateful, and some are deeply moved by his kindness. This includes not only men but also women. They want to devote their blood to repaying the emperor's great grace, even considering this more important than their own lifelong affairs, and taking it as their life's belief. Some have even gone on hunger strike and become depressed because of this. I beg the emperor to fulfill their wishes."

The emperor was stunned. He had not expected that those girls whom he thought were only thinking about marrying into a good family would have such thoughts and wishes. It really moved him.

Yes, all the people in the world are his subjects, including men and women. Although men and women should perform their respective duties, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for his world and even give up their own families. How can he not be moved?

The emperor was silent for a long time. He said, "A maximum of one thousand places."

One thousand places is enough for Qiao Jianer, and it may not even be enough to recruit enough.

Because there are very few girls who have this wish.

But since it exists, it is very precious. She will not let this pearl be covered in dust, as long as it exists.

She was glad that she had come to ask the emperor for permission in advance, otherwise, if she set this precedent, there would be trouble.

The Qiao family was waiting for news, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

They were worried that the emperor would be angry if Qiao Jianer brought this up. After all, recruiting female soldiers was unprecedented except during the reign of the empress.

However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qiao Jianer coming in so relaxed.

"One thousand places is enough. We can divide them into two brigades." Dacheng said.

"Recruit enough people first, and then I will train them." Qiao Lianer said.

The next day, a notice recruiting female soldiers was posted on the outer wall of the watchtower of the garrison, attracting many people from the fiefdom to come and see.

"They're recruiting female soldiers. This is the first time I've heard of this. Can my daughter join the army?"

"Oh my god, I'm really surprised! How dare you, Princess, think that? Aren't girls supposed to stay home and do needlework, waiting to marry into a good family? But you want to train in the army and even go into battle? How ridiculous!"

Although the local residents supported Qiao Jianer very much, they had very traditional ideas about this kind of thing and many people could not accept it.

But others say, "Whether a girl is missing eyes, nose, or mouth, hands, or feet, she can do anything a man can do. Fighting in battle is just a training of skills and strength. As long as you have a normal brain and are diligent and motivated, you can train yourself to do it."

"That's not wrong, but it's not a rule like this, and no one can accept it right away."

"Daughters can also defend their country, and their blood is bright red." Qiao Jian'er walked out of the watchtower, her eyes filled with stern majesty. "When daughters go to the battlefield, you are also the ones they risk their lives to protect."

Everyone was touched and fell silent.

"Any daughter who wants to join the army and meets the requirements can just come and sign up."

"I will also establish a promotion system. If you excel, you can become a general. If you achieve merit on the battlefield, I will commend you to the emperor and request a title, bringing honor to our family."

When the people heard this, their blood boiled. You know, the ancients were very fertile, and almost every family had several sons and daughters. Sending one or two of them to join the army was no problem at all.

Besides, this is the capital area. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the troops here will not be deployed, so it is still very safe.

"Mom, I want to join the army and become a soldier." A girl with a sturdy build and dark skin said loudly.

She walked towards the pile of rocks used to test physical fitness.
