Empress of all ages?
As soon as Ying Yinman's words came out, the whole room suddenly became silent, especially the warlocks, who lowered their heads and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Was there a problem with Ying Yinman's words?
Of course there was a problem!
Even though every Emperor would consider the matter of the successor to the throne, and even though the First Emperor of Qin had always been searching for the Elixir of Immortality, wanting to create a Great Qin that would never fall, ideals were one thing, and reality was another. He knew that his lifespan was limited, and sooner or later, he would have to choose someone from his descendants to inherit his throne.
This person could be Fu Su, Huhai, or even other princes, but it would never be Ying Yinman.
Because she was a woman.
No matter how much she was loved by Qin Shi Huang, no matter how much talent she had when she was born, as a woman, she was destined to be inferior in this era, and destined to not inherit the throne.
What's more, Qin Shi Huang was still alive. Although he was not young, he didn't look old or dead. As long as there were no accidents, he could at least live for more than ten years. Ying Yinman was now clamoring to be the Empress of all ages. From another perspective, this was like cursing her father to die!
At this time, how could the warlocks casually interrupt?
Only Ying Yinman, an eight-year-old girl, could be treated as a child's babble. If it was Fu Su or Huhai who said this, it would be a complete rebellion!
"Your Majesty, a child's babble carries no harm." Xu Fu was also a little nervous, and immediately bowed.
But obviously, the warlocks' worries were a little superfluous. Qin Shi Huang really doted on this little daughter. When he heard such words, he just smiled faintly and said, "Hahaha, child, you are much more ambitious than your elder brother. If it was your elder brother, he would never dare to say such words in front of me. Unfortunately, you are a woman. If you were a man, I might really agree to your request."
Ying Yinman suddenly pouted, "What's wrong with being a woman? Being a man at the top and a woman at the bottom, women can also hold up half the sky. Imperial Father, your views are already outdated. Even the sages have said that women in the new era are not weaker than men. Women should also have the awareness and conviction to gamble everything for their ideals. "
"Also … the women of our Moon World are stronger than the men. In the distant west, there is a woman named Ahoge King. She pulled out the holy sword at the age of fifteen and became the ruler of a country. She led the people to resist the foreign enemies and led the country to prosperity. In a faraway place, there was a girl named Jeanne d'Arc. She received the revelation of God as a village girl. She was invincible and invincible. She became a hero who saved the country. There's also Rome's Nero and Egypt's Cleopatra. They were all women, but they all became emperors. Since they can do it, why can't I? "
"Eh?" Emperor Qin was taken aback. "Where did you hear all this from?"
What Adorkable Queen Zhende Nero? How come he had never heard of such a person? Also, women in the new era were no weaker than men? Which saint said that?
"Uh …" Little Yin Man was stumped by the question. She looked at Tang Hao carefully and then quickly lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
But such actions were clearly not enough to hide from Emperor Qin.
"You know the Zero Form." Emperor Qin's face immediately darkened. "Tell me, what did you say to my daughter?"
Tang Hao knew that when the names Ahoge King and Jeanne d'Arc came out, he could no longer hide it. He said, "Your Majesty, I only told Little Yin Man a few stories about kings. Of course, there are some who are not kings."
"Oh, so it's a story."
"Eh, just a story?" Little Yin Man immediately raised her head and looked at Tang Hao in disappointment. "Then, the people and things in these stories, are they all fake?"
Tang Hao smiled. "A story is a story, but there are real people and things. It's just that they are relatively far away from us, separated by endless time and space. I'm afraid we will never meet them in this life."
"I see, that's a pity …" Little Yin Man was still somewhat disappointed. She had originally thought that after she became the Empress, she would have a good talk with these people and compete to see who was the most powerful Empress.
But —
"Brother Funny Face, in your stories, these women finally became kings after a lot of hard work. Can Yin Man become an Empress if she works hard?"
"Well …"
Tang Hao was a little speechless. Ying Yinman could say this kind of thing. After all, she was just a child, and Emperor Qin would not care about it. However, if he were to comment on this matter, it would be a little disgraceful … No, he had already asked Brother Zheng to kill Huhai, which was already disgraceful. Now, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with commenting on Second King Qin?
"You asked me if I support you to be the Empress. Of course, I support you. But before that, the most important thing is that you have to get His Majesty's approval."
"Father …?" Little Yin Man turned her head and looked at Emperor Qin expectantly.
"Your Majesty, we still have to study the demon god pillars' corpses. We will take our leave first." Before Emperor Qin could speak, Xu Fu bowed and said. When Emperor Qin nodded, he immediately left the room with the warlocks.
Then, Emperor Qin gave Tang Hao a look. Tang Hao understood and asked Yuji to take little Yin Man out to play. In the blink of an eye, only Emperor Qin and Tang Hao were left in the empty room.
"Are you serious?" Emperor Qin looked into Tang Hao's eyes. "It seems that you didn't instigate me to kill Huhai on a whim. You had planned this from the beginning. Do you really want me to pass the throne to Yin Man and make her the Empress?"
"This …" Tang Hao wanted to say something but stopped. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know either."
Tang Hao really didn't know.
First of all, he had to understand that although the Great Qin Era was similar to a singularity, it was not a singularity, nor was it a strange era. It was the official history of the Great Qin Era!
When he came to the Great Qin Era, he was not like Gooda and Mashu who wanted to eliminate the singularities or cut off the anomalies. Instead, he wanted to make changes to the original history and create a new history to complete the puzzle of human continuity.
There were two points that he had to pay attention to. First, Emperor Qin couldn't live forever. Otherwise, this world would become the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom in FGO 2.3, and then it might be invaded by alien star gods. Second, history couldn't remain unchanged. Otherwise, there would be no way to complete the puzzle of human continuity.
It was actually very difficult to find a compromise between these two points. Even with the direction provided by the mission progress, he didn't know where to start most of the time.
Take the matter of killing Huhai for example. In fact, Huhai didn't have to be killed. The reason why he brought it up was that he had been with Ying Yinman for a long time and liked this innocent little girl very much. He couldn't bear to think about her future. On the other hand, it was also to test the limits of Emperor Qin's tolerance for him.
If Emperor Qin really saw him as a traitor and wanted to kill him, then he could only make his move from another place.
Even though the First Emperor of Qin and the Twelve Metal Colossi were very powerful, and Great Qin was invincible in this era, he had the chatroom as a cheat, Eight Cloud Violet as external help, and an expert like Yu Ji by his side. It would not be difficult for him to escape from Xianyang City, and he would not be courting death.
In the end, Emperor Qin acquiesced to his proposal to kill Huhai. This result was better than he had expected.
But what about after killing Huhai?
Just as Emperor Qin said, this wouldn't solve the problem.
Without Huhai, he still had to choose someone to be the second Qin Emperor. Fu Su wasn't good enough. Tang Hao had seen the other princes, but they couldn't even compare to Huhai, let alone Fu Su. At least Huhai still had ambition, scheming, and forbearance, but the remaining princes didn't even have ambition or scheming.
Perhaps the talents and luck of Ying Zheng's line were all concentrated on Brother Zheng alone, which was why it had become such a powerless situation.
In the end, Tang Hao was surprised to find that the eight-year-old Ying Yinman turned out to be the most courageous of Brother Zheng's children. Especially after listening to the stories of the future, she gained a bit of the ideals and confidence of a modern strong woman.
Cultivate her into an empress … Tang Hao indeed had such an idea.
But whether it would work on human reason, Tang Hao couldn't guarantee.
Was hard work useful?
In this world line, Guda and Mashu had already worked very hard, but they still couldn't save human reason. Roman also worked very hard, and at the cost of his own life, he only opened up a path to the past. As for what to do after that, perhaps even he himself didn't know.
Therefore, even if Ying Yinman really became the first empress throughout the ages, what kind of impact it would have, Tang Hao couldn't predict. Perhaps it would be worse than Huhai becoming the second Qin Emperor. This was also a possibility.
But-
"At least the future is unpredictable."
In the end, Tang Hao replied like this.
Emperor Qin was silent for a long time. He had never thought of making a woman the crown prince before. Even now, it seemed a bit ridiculous, and Tang Hao didn't give him the answer he wanted. However … the unpredictable future, these words made his heart stir.
Being able to know the future in advance was no longer the future, because the person who knew the future would change in advance. But even Tang Hao couldn't predict the future, so the only thing left was the efforts of human beings.
If Great Qin wanted to continue, it depended on the efforts of human beings.
If people wanted to continue their ideals, it also depended on the efforts of human beings!
A person who worked hard was at least better than a person who lived off his past achievements.
If Ying Yinman wanted to become the empress, she would face endless resistance, so she had to work even harder!
In the end, Emperor Qin took the brocade box and said, "I will keep this pill for her. From tomorrow onwards, I will let Li Si be her mentor to teach her knowledge and politics. In addition … since this is your suggestion, you can't do nothing. Let Fairy Yu teach her swordsmanship."
"As for the final result, let's see how hard she works."
