The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 272 Another Test

The moment the arrow left the bowstring, it made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and Qin En immediately clapped his hands in excitement. "Grandpa, you are so awesome!" The First Emperor turned around upon hearing the voice, and Qin Xingfu hurriedly saluted with the child.

"Your Highness pays homage to the Supreme Emperor. Long live the Emperor!" Qin Ci and Qin En also followed suit.

"Get up! I still remember you, Qin En, right? Let Qi Le take you to get the pastries you liked last time, and let the palace maids play with you." Qin En turned to look at his mother, remembering that the only pastry missing from the things he brought home last time.

So she happily replied, "Thank you, Grandpa! Does my mother have any?" The First Emperor seemed to be in a good mood and patted her head, "Haha... Sure, we have them all."

Qin Xingfu touched Qin Ci's head. "Baby, mom will come to see you in a while, go play with your sister first, and be careful not to go to the water or play with fire." Qin Ci nodded, and left with Qile hand in hand with her sister.

The First Emperor gave her a bow and arrow: "Come and try, how far can you shoot?" Qin Xingfu took it with both hands, only to find it very heavy. "It's too heavy, I'm afraid it won't work." Despite saying this, he didn't stop, picked up the arrow, put it on, pulled the bow as hard as he could, and finally released the arrow. The arrow fell to the ground halfway through its flight, and the First Emperor couldn't help shaking his head. "You have no strength left, you can't even use the bow."

Qin Xingfu felt his arm ache, so he put the bow and arrow away and rubbed his arm. "I can't do anything now, I can't do whatever I want like before, I mainly use my brain."

The First Emperor looked at her rubbing her arm, with a flash of heartache in his eyes. He walked to Qin Xingfu and patted her shoulder gently. "Child, you have done very well. Although your physical condition is not as good as before, your wisdom and courage are still there."

After a short rest, Qin Xingfu continued to practice archery, and the First Emperor patiently guided him. Although the progress was slow, Qin Xingfu always maintained a positive attitude and constantly challenged himself.

Seeing her like this, the First Emperor actually relaxed his vigilance against her, thinking: How much of a threat can a woman who gives up her career for her family pose? But when he thought of her husbands, his brows furrowed even deeper. He originally thought that as long as he didn't allow them to enter the government, he could curb their development, but the facts proved that this didn't seem to have much effect.

"Sit down and have a rest. Do you think your men are useful?" The First Emperor suddenly asked, with a hint of temptation in his tone.

Qin Xingfu's heart tightened, and her spirit immediately became tense, but she still tried to pretend to be casual. When she heard the first emperor ask this, she didn't react for a while to what he meant.

"Ah? Your Majesty, what do you mean? There are so many talented people in Daqin now, so there is no shortage of people, right?" Qin Xingfu answered cautiously.

The First Emperor looked at her nervousness and couldn't help but laugh. He knew that she didn't want her husbands to show their ambitions, but she was worried that once they entered the arena, her children would have no chance.

"There is no shortage of people in Daqin now, but after all, their knowledge is too shallow." The First Emperor sighed and said.

It turned out that he had wanted to cultivate Gongshujia, Mojia and her to form a three-way competition to promote the technological development of Daqin. But he didn't expect that the person he wanted to cultivate was actually abducted by her, which led to the failure of his plan. Later, she built a science city, which made all his efforts come to naught. Now, he has to re-examine his strategy and find new ways to solve this problem.

"I think it's good. Things are always changing. No one and no family remain unchanged forever. A door hinge never rots, and running water never rots. For the people at the bottom, after they have enough food and clothing, they will pursue spiritual things, fame and power. This will make some old families feel a sense of crisis, and there will be fewer people who are greedy and despicable. For those in power, the burden on their shoulders will also be less."

The First Emperor wanted to cultivate someone who would always be loyal to the royal family. She could not guarantee that her descendants would always think the same as her, nor could she give the First Emperor a guarantee.

"Really? What do you think about the incident between the Wang and Meng families this time?"

After the First Emperor asked this question, he lowered his head to drink tea. Qin Xingfu's mind was working at high speed as he carefully considered what to say.

"The facts have been investigated. All parties involved are victims and the children are innocent."

Alas...she has tried her best, but she is not God and she cannot save everyone.

"Really? Do you really think the matter has been clarified?"

The First Emperor didn't believe that she believed it so easily. Would such an intelligent person really be willing to believe such a result?

"Yes, I believe it! The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that she is just a commoner."

Even though she had some guesses in her mind, the one suffering the most now was not her, nor was it caused by their family, and she could not empathize with the pain of others.

The First Emperor put down his teacup and looked at her straight.

"Tell me the story of your world, especially about how you built a country where the people are the masters. I want to know about the person who turned the tide. Tell me about it."

After being busy for decades, he spends every day in his free time thinking about how long the Qin Dynasty can survive in the future. The emergence of Qin Xingfu directly and indirectly promotes various rapid evolutions in history. He can't help but worry about the future of the Qin Dynasty.

"Ah? Really? That's very complicated, and some of the things involved may not be easy to understand."

It’s not that she didn’t say it, but even if she did, he might not understand it.

"It's okay. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask you."

The First Emperor did not think that there was anything he could not understand. Qin Xingfu thought about it and wondered how to explain it so that he could understand it better.

"Okay then. Let me first tell you what socialism, capitalism, imperialism, and class are. It will be easier to understand later if you understand these first."

Perhaps her vision was not broad enough and she really didn't understand what the First Emperor wanted to do. Since she wanted to hear it, she would just tell her the truth. That period of history has always been quite heavy for the Chinese.
