Diqin Designer

Chapter 145: First Meeting with the Princes of Daqin
Yongcheng. It was still summer when Li Nian traveled to the Qin Dynasty, but it was already winter now. However, the winter in the Qin Dynasty at this time was not too cold and was much warmer than the modern one.

This is also one of the reasons why both the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty established their capitals here. The climate, water resources, vegetation, soil and other aspects are quite favorable, and it is far from a place that has been eroded and worn out over a long history.

Li Nian got up before dawn, because today was the first day of the ceremony for Boss Zheng to be crowned emperor, but it was nearly two months later than in history.

According to what should have happened in history, the First Emperor should have been crowned emperor in October, but due to Li Nian's arrival, it is now the end of November.

Li Nian is very excited and looking forward to the ceremony of Emperor Qin Shihuang's enthronement. Not only will he witness this historical event in person, but he will also participate in it. Many things come from him, and he will also be able to meet many historical figures at the ceremony.

After washing up and putting on the formal dress sent by Ying Zheng, Li Nian started to eat. The ceremony process would not be completed in a short time, so he had to eat something to fill his stomach. He also had a job to do, which was to take pictures of the ceremony of Qin Shihuang's enthronement with his mobile phone. He probably didn't have much time to eat.

While eating, check your mobile phone and power bank to make sure the power bank is fully charged and the mobile phone is working properly.

After dinner, I went to the toilet in a hurry. I guess I not only don’t have much time to eat today, but I even have to hold back when going to the toilet.

Just after leaving the toilet and washing his hands, a messenger sent by Ying Zheng arrived: "The king has ordered that you go to Tuquan Palace immediately."

Under the escort of the guards, Li Nian arrived at Tuquan Palace.

Seeing him arrive, Ying Zheng asked, "Are you ready?"

Li Nian replied: "Your Majesty, everything is ready!"

Ying Zheng nodded, stood in the hall and looked silently outside the palace. The sky in the distance was still dark, and not even a trace of dawn could be seen. He didn't know what he was looking at.

Maybe it’s not about looking at the night, but seeing the whole world through the night, seeing my past self, and seeing the future...

Not long after Li Nian arrived, more people arrived. They were a group of young men and teenagers. Li Nian knew that these people were the princes of the Qin Dynasty and the sons of the First Emperor!
'The young man who looks very similar to the First Emperor and appears to be the oldest should be Fusu. The child who looks the youngest and is smiling at me should be Hu Hai...'

'Fusu really looks like the First Emperor, just like a younger version of the First Emperor. With the blessing of being the eldest son, it's no wonder that the First Emperor could not make up his mind to make a prince other than Fusu the crown prince.'

"Hu Hai looks cute, but I never thought he would become so cruel in the future."

Hu Hai's appearance was not bad at all. On the contrary, he was quite festive and cute. Just from his appearance, people would like him at first sight. If he could say a few festive words, he would surely make the elders happy.

When Li Nian was observing the princes of Daqin, the princes were also observing him. When they saw the clothes Li Nian was wearing, some of them could not hide their surprise.

The clothes this person was wearing were clearly something only a prince of the Great Qin could wear, which meant that this person was on the same level as them!
Seeing Li Nian’s attire, all the princes of the Great Qin thought to themselves: Does our father have a brother that they don’t know about?
Except for Fusu, the other princes all felt heavy-hearted. They all aspired for that position. There were already many brothers and the competition was fierce. No one wanted another competitor to emerge.

Moreover, this person came earlier than his elder brother Fusu, which means that his father was the first to inform him, which shows that his position in his father's heart is higher than that of his elder brother Fusu. They may not be able to compete with their elder brother Fusu, but if they are higher than their elder brother Fusu, can they still compete and have a chance to ascend to that position?

My father had previously proposed to all the ministers in the court that he wanted to appoint a crown prince. In fact, the person he wanted to appoint was this person. Wasn't that court meeting meant to pave the way for this person?
Thinking about the various things that had been spreading throughout the world during this period, many of which involved the name "Li Nian", the young masters felt even more depressed.

It was obvious that the father was paving the way for this man to gain popularity and reputation in the world so that he could become king smoothly!

Sensing the complicated looks from the princes of Qin, Li Nian felt that this group of people must have had the wrong idea. However, Ying Zheng did not say anything. He just stood there silently looking at the sky outside the palace, pretending to be a philosopher. Not knowing what he meant, Li Nian was not sure how to explain it.

Fusu, on the other hand, did not have that complicated look. He just looked at Li Nian curiously.

He didn't care whether this person was his brother or whether he would be appointed as the crown prince by his father. He knew more than his other brothers and knew that some of the current policies of the Qin Dynasty came from this person.

But in his original idea, Li Nian should be older. Even if he was not an old man, he should not be so young.

He had a good impression of Li Nian, because whether it was the things made by Li Nian or the decrees set by his father, they all benefited the country and the people, and in his opinion were benevolent policies.

What’s more crucial is that he had been admonishing his father for so many years, but his father had never implemented benevolent policies. However, Li Nian, who might be his brother from the same father, succeeded with just one persuasion.

If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Fusu would have liked to have a long talk with Li Nian, talk about his understanding of benevolent government, and ask, "Brother, how did you persuade our father?"

Hu Hai pretended to be a child, looking at Li Nian in a friendly and curious manner, as if asking, "Are you also Hu Hai's brother?" But in his heart he was actually very afraid of Li Nian, because Li Nian was very likely the one who caused him to be punished.

Thinking of the punishment for copying the "Book of Songs", Hu Hai gritted his teeth. Just thinking about it, his hands began to ache again. This bastard, does he know how long he has been copying?
During that period, I couldn't eat or sleep well every day. I would start copying the "Book of Songs" as soon as I opened my eyes. Even when I closed my eyes to sleep, I would dream about copying the "Book of Songs". Even though my hands were covered with blisters and calluses and my arms were sore, I still had to copy.

And the culprit of all this is the person in front of you!

If there is a chance, I will make this bastard copy the Book of Songs until he dies. If he doesn't want to copy, I will chop off his fingers and break his arms.

But Hu Hai did not show his anger and resentment. Instead, he was friendly to Li Nian and behaved very well, like an obedient and sensible younger brother.

Because Hu Hai knew very well that he could not afford to offend this person now, so he could only wait for the opportunity. Only when his father became disgusted with this person would he have a chance to turn the tables.

But he is young and can wait, and who would be on guard against a cute and sensible child?
Thinking of this, Hu Hai's smile became even brighter, but Hu Hai didn't know that his smile was seen by Li Nian as: "Hu Hai keeps smiling at me, I always feel that he has bad intentions. Could it be that he was punished by the First Emperor, so he holds a grudge against me?"

"It seems that there is no room for reconciliation with Hu Hai. If he takes the stage, given his character, I will definitely die! In the future, I will have to tell the First Emperor more about the harm done by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao!"
