The relationship between the country and me.
My true identity.
I and the throne represent the interests of the group.
The source of my power.
In the examination hall, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was staring at the fourth question, but did not answer it hastily.
Instead, he wrote down the questions that had already appeared on his draft paper.
He already knew how to take exams.
It could be considered that he had figured out the train of thought behind the questions.
This was really testing the emperor.
Compared to how he and Great Qin groomed their successors, it was much more direct and crude, and it was directly related to the nature of an Emperor.
This assessment not only cleared up some of the fog of his governance as an emperor, but also helped him understand the emperor better.
It greatly broadened his train of thought.
For example.
These questions involved problems that he had never considered before.
However, now that he was asked, his thoughts diverged. Combined with his decades of experience in governing, he gradually formed his own view of the emperor.
The formation of this concept allowed him to jump out of the shackles of the emperor's identity and get to know the emperor from a higher perspective.
This feeling was wonderful.
The appearance of each question gave the First Emperor a sense of satisfaction as if he had found a treasure. It greatly expanded his horizons.
Then this question.
It was to test the emperor's understanding of the source of his power.
After some careful consideration, the First Emperor Ying Zheng felt that he had figured out the intention of the question maker.
Therefore…
The first choice was the destiny.
Wrong.
After thinking about the previous questions, the First Emperor immediately judged that this choice was to confuse the examinees and mislead them.
It was equivalent to the second question, who was the emperor…
The Emperor was neither the Son of Heaven nor anyone else. He was a loner and a special ordinary person. Therefore, the so-called power naturally could not be given by the heavens.
The First Emperor immediately listed the first option.
The second one.
The previous emperor.
Power transfer.
Seeing this option, this word appeared in the First Emperor's mind.
He thought back to his dealings with Lu Buwei and the Empress Dowager before he gradually gained power.
Moreover…
Every time the imperial power was handed over, it would be a soul-stirring battle. Many people would even die because of it.
So, the imperial power was obtained through competition?
Or was power originally there, and was it gradually grasped by the means of the successor?
Or maybe.
After the previous emperor left, would the emperor really be able to obtain power so easily?
The First Emperor realized that this ordinary choice was filled with thought and charm. Tsk, it seemed like he didn't lose out to be able to participate in such an examination.
The third option was the civil and military officials.
Do all officials have power?
Yes.
Where did their power come from? The delegation of imperial power.
If I don't let him be an official, what power can he have?
My power is to pardon officials, but my power is to distribute it to officials and then let them use it?
Thinking about this, the First Emperor had a feeling that the so-called imperial power seemed to have become something that could be seen and touched. In the process of thinking, he could even see the direction of the flow of power.
The imperial power seemed to be the spring water from a well.
The emperor was the one who distributed the water.
In that case, this water was the imperial power.
Where did the water come from?
The First Emperor couldn't help but think back to Great Qin's origins. Great Qin was created by a vassal's territory and slowly grew in population. Then…
Yes!
At this moment, Ying Zheng seemed to have grasped something!
People.
Survival.
Fighting.
He quickly looked at the next answer, luck and strength, as well as the people.
Boom!
At this moment, Ying Zheng felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. He seemed to see the people of Great Qin, food…survival, crisis, and expansion.
The reason why Great Qin had developed to this day was because it was the Great Qin Empire.
It was something a person needed to eat…
Therefore, the imperial power actually came from those people! Great Qin's soldiers, Great Qin's citizens, Great Qin's officials…many faces appeared in Qin Shihuang's mind.
The appearance of this answer made him tremble all over, as if he had discovered some shocking secret. It shocked him and made the cells and blood in his body cheer.
This…
He seemed to have discovered a secret.
He couldn't help but raise his head in surprise and look at examiner Qin Feng once more.
He sized up the entire Heavenly Examination Hall once again, sizing up every examinee. He discovered that at this moment, he actually had a feeling of transcendence.
This is how my power comes about!
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, looked at the answers in the choices and found that those ordinary words seemed to glow.
Trembling, he made his choice.
"Hmm?"
"Why would Imperial Father choose the last answer?”
After the First Emperor made his decision, Fu Su was stunned, and all of Great Qin's officials were stunned.
"Did Your Majesty answer wrongly? How can imperial power come from here?”
All the officials raised their doubts because in their eyes, this was the most impossible answer. However, their Emperor had chosen this answer!
They expressed that they could not understand His Majesty.
"Hmm…"
At this moment, Qin Feng was also surprised. He didn't expect the First Emperor to make such a decision.
However, thinking about the First Emperor's actions after his death, it was reasonable.
Why did Great Qin die?
Qin Shihuang had given an order.
The soldiers guarding the border were not allowed to leave the garrison without orders. Otherwise, how could those rebels succeed so easily?
"Time for the fourth question! The fifth question!"
Qin Feng was looking forward to Qin Shi Huang and the others answering the questions. When the time was up, he directly announced the fifth question.
Question 5: As an emperor, how do you think you should lead the country?
A: Relying on the words of the saints
B: Relying on a mature system
C: Relying on violence
D: Relying on the people
5. Relying on Chinese culture
