Chapter 154: Grand Ceremony Photographs, Today is Full

When Lu Zhi entered Xianyang, Ying Zheng originally wanted to marry her to his eldest son Fusu as his principal wife, using Lu Zhi to make up for Fusu's character flaws.

But Ying Zheng thought of all the "glorious" deeds of Lu Zhi that Li Nian had mentioned when she was talking about Lu Zhi's history, and Ying Zheng decisively decided not to let Lu Zhi marry Fusu.

If Fusu became the crown prince in the future and ascended the throne to become emperor after his death, wouldn't Lu Zhi become the empress?

If Fusu cannot suppress Lü Zhi, and Lü Zhi becomes the "Empress Lü" in the Qin Dynasty, she will rule the country, slaughter the meritorious officials of the Qin Dynasty, and kill the royal family of the Qin Dynasty...

Just thinking about it, Ying Zheng felt that this possibility was not only possible, but also very high. Fusu was a loser in history, but Lu Zhi was the first queen whose name was recorded in history.

As for letting Lu Zhi marry Li Nian, Ying Zheng never had this idea at all. Li Nian could only marry his daughter, not other princesses of the royal family, only his daughter.

If there is no suitable daughter to marry, then let Li Nian wait a few more years. Anyway, this kid has already lived to be twenty-six in the future, so a few more years won't make a difference. There is no way that Li Nian will be allowed to marry another man's daughter!

But Lu Zhi could not marry Fusu or Li Nian, but she could marry other sons. When Ying Zheng looked among his many sons, he happened to see that Prince Gao did not have a wife yet.

According to the history told by Li Nian, when Hu Hai massacred his brothers, Prince Gao committed suicide to protect his family from Hu Hai's murderous hands. Isn't this exactly the right husband for Lu Zhi?
The fact that Lü Zhi became Empress Lü and was extremely cruel, even inventing such a brutal method as turning people into pigs, was largely due to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji's lust for women and his tendency to forget the old one when he found a new one made Lu Zhi feel very insecure.

Moreover, Liu Ji once wanted to depose Liu Ying, his son with Lu Zhi, and make Liu Ruyi, the son of Concubine Qi, the crown prince, which made Lu Zhi feel even more insecure.

Because once Liu Ying was deposed, Liu Ji would depose her and make Concubine Qi the queen.

Even if Liu Ji took their old friendship into consideration and only deposed Liu Ying from the position of crown prince but not her, after Liu Ji's death, when Liu Ruyi ascended the throne as emperor, how would he treat her?

Given Lady Qi's usual attitude towards her, how would her son treat her when he becomes emperor?

Although Liu Ji was able to achieve great things, he was not very good to his wife. Gongzi Gao was just different. A man who was afraid of bringing trouble to his family and was determined to die to protect his family would probably not be bad to his wife. He was just the right match for Lu Zhi.

And Lu Zhi's political talents and means were just right for assisting Prince Gao in governing the local area, and even when Prince Gao was granted an overseas fiefdom in the future, she could help him govern the country well.

As for whether Lu Zhi would intervene in politics and take charge of the country after they went overseas, while Prince Gao was sidelined and became a powerless king, Ying Zheng did not care too much. If his son was so incompetent, what else could he do?
If the daughter-in-law is capable, then let her do it. It is difficult for him to manage her that far!

In addition, letting Lu Zhi marry Prince Gao was also a disguised compensation from Ying Zheng to Prince Gao. Before his son committed suicide, he said that he wanted to be buried with him and asked to die with him and be buried at the foot of Mount Li.

Although these historical events should not happen again, Ying Zheng still wanted to give some compensation to his children who were killed by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, including his nephew Ying.

He set up the Ministry of Clan Affairs and appointed Prince Ying as the head of the clan to take charge of the affairs of the Qin royal family. This was his compensation to Prince Ying.

His nephew did not do anything bad. Instead, he helped the Qin Dynasty get rid of the treacherous minister Zhao Gao. However, he eventually had to surrender to the rebels on behalf of the Qin Dynasty and died at the hands of Xiang Yu.

Lu Zhi married Gongzi Gao. The man was good to Lu Zhi and Gongzi Gao, and as far as the world is concerned, he was good to the entire Qin Dynasty and the world. However, he was not very friendly to Liu Ji, and the only one who was hurt was Liu Ji.

Although he already knew that Ying Zheng was going to marry Lü Zhi to Gongzi Gao, Li Nian still glanced at Liu Ji and thought to himself: "Brother Bang, you're wife is gone!"

Ying Zheng issued several more decrees: The Qin Empire will unify its writing system, language, currency, weights and measures, and calendar...

However, the unification of currency and weights and measures could be implemented immediately, but as for the writing and language, Ying Zheng did not specify what kind of writing and language to use, nor did he say when it would be implemented.

Because the text and language had to wait until the world's wise men came to Xianyang, Li Nian and I revised it together.

Thinking of writing, Ying Zheng remembered something Li Nian had said that made him depressed. The Qin Dynasty used small seal script as the official script, but the promotion of small seal script was not beneficial, and the official script became popular. This was because the official script was easier to write and more beautiful, so the small seal script, which he thought was more beautiful, was naturally eliminated.

The calendar still follows the Zhuanxu calendar used in the Qin Dynasty today.

When mentioning the use of a unified calendar, Ying Zheng deliberately glanced at Li Nian. The new calendar that Li Nian mentioned that could be used to assist farming had not yet been developed.

Li Nian's explanation was that he did not yet understand the climate of that era and could not determine the solar terms, so he needed to collect more information.

The formal affairs of the coronation ceremony were almost over. Ying Zheng said to his ministers: "The success of the Qin Dynasty today is not due to my own efforts, but also to the dedication of the officials in the court and the dedication of the soldiers outside."

"Without you gentlemen, without you generals, without you people, neither I nor the Great Qin would be where we are today."

"Today is an auspicious day. It is a grand event for me, for the Great Qin, for all the officials and generals, and for all the people in the world. It would be a pity if we cannot pass this grand event down to future generations!"

"Li Nian has something that can pass down the memory of me and you gentlemen to future generations. Li Nian!"

Ying Zheng called out, and Li Nian immediately responded, "I'm here!"

"You make the arrangements."

This was his coronation ceremony, the only one in his life. How could he not take photos with his ministers and generals to record this scene forever and pass it on to future generations?
The reason why painters are not often arranged to record these classic historical scenes is that no matter how skilled the painters are, they cannot draw so many people quickly.

Besides, it is impossible to ask the emperor and his ministers to stand there motionless until the painting is finished, right?
Therefore, even if a painter was arranged, he could only draw part of the scene of the ceremony and could not record the entire process in detail.

However, now with Li Nian’s mobile phone, things are different. She can take a picture of the scene first and then let the painter slowly paint it.

Li Nian said: "As you command!"

He was also very excited, as he wanted to take a picture of the First Emperor and all the ministers and generals of the Qin Dynasty, and even the founding group of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu were dead, so they could not be recorded.

Everyone finally realized that Li Nian had been using the strange object to record them. Fortunately, they did not do anything inappropriate when they saw Li Nian pointing the strange object at them. Otherwise, if it was recorded and passed down to future generations, their descendants would see it...

The first thing Li Nian arranged was a group photo of the First Emperor with all the ministers and generals of the Qin Dynasty. The First Emperor stood in the middle, and Wang Wan and Wang Jian, one civil and one military, stood on his left and right keeping a certain distance from the First Emperor. The other civil and military officials stood on the side or behind Wang Wan and Wang Jian respectively.

This is the founding group of the Qin Dynasty, many of whom are famous in history: Li Si, Feng Jie, and Wang Wan are good at literature, and Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Meng Tian are good at military affairs...

Everyone was full of energy and looked forward solemnly with the First Emperor, as if, under the leadership of the First Emperor, they were going to embark on an unknown road and go to a place they had never been to.

After filming of the ministers and generals, it was the princes, the empresses, daughters and clan members of the Qin Dynasty that appeared. The princes and princesses of Qin followed behind the First Emperor, followed by the empresses and clan members of the Qin Dynasty.

Seeing Li Nian holding the phone towards them, Ying Shunying looked at him curiously. Compared to the shyness when she first knew who Li Nian was, the girl now seemed a lot more generous. But when Li Nian noticed her, smiled and nodded at her, the girl quickly lowered her head again.

Then came Liu Ji and others who were invited by Ying Zheng to watch the ceremony in Xianyang. This was also the scene Li Nian had been looking forward to. The Emperor Qin and Emperor Gaozu of Han were in the same frame, as well as Empress Lü, Prime Minister Xiao, and the God of War...

Ying Zheng also understood this well and intended to place Liu Ji and Xiao He behind him.

So what if he is the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty and the first meritorious minister of the Han Dynasty? He still has to come after him to watch his coronation ceremony. Is there anything in the world that can satisfy his vanity more than this?

Li Nian took a picture of the Qin Emperor and Han Gao standing together. Although she doesn’t know what the future will be like, the present is perfect!
