"Pei Hansan is actually a woman, this... this is simply humiliating for us!"
A woman invented the mortar and grenades, led troops to repel the Wa Ci, and subdued the Rong Clan, arguably saving Great Chu. It truly shamed all the civil and military chancellors of the Imperial Court!
Several Elder Statesmen lamented their shame for quite some time before they returned to the main topic. "Pei... Pei Hansan wants to resign, this matter..." Since being Above First Rank, they in the Cabinet couldn't solely decide on her resignation, as it needed the Emperor's decree. But she was not a man, she was a woman. Not to mention women taking official roles, the rules of successive dynasties had always been that women should not meddle in politics; yet, she had... achieved the position of Tiance General.
A huge problem had landed squarely on their heads, one that was also pressing. Jiang Gan and Shen Bi, together with several other senior Cabinet officers, found it hard to cope.
