Chapter 39

The civil and military officials did not think highly of the princes present.

After all, they had never been able to solve these problems themselves.

"These are also problems that have puzzled us for years; if they were so easy to solve, our Great Qin would be in a different state!"

"Your Majesty suddenly took an interest in testing the princes today."

"These problems are too difficult; it would have been better to have a civil and military test."

"There must be a civil and military test; after all, a prince who is proficient in both is the best candidate!"

"You must know, before Your Majesty ascended the throne, he was proficient in both civil and military affairs!"

"It was because of Your Majesty's proficiency in both that our Great Qin was able to sweep across the six states!"

"Civilly able to wield a pen to pacify the world, militarily able to mount a horse to settle the universe!"

"The most powerful prince of Great Qin should be like this!"

Immediately after—

The officials began to speculate about the next day's competition.

The ministers did not believe that the princes present could solve these two problems that had plagued the empire for years.

Not to mention the remnants of the six states.

Just the treasury problem alone, they had been unable to solve it for years.

And these princes wanted to solve it?
