[@MorningStarEntertainmentV: Restoring history, stepping into the Great Zhou Dynasty, the TV series "The First Emperor of All Time" officially premieres this Saturday at 8:00 PM. Let's look forward to the performances of @JieYuan and @LiHuaner~]
This news became a trending topic as soon as it was released.
A post appeared on an entertainment forum: "Did everyone see the cast of 'The Great Emperor of All Time'... Emperor Gaozu must be turning in his grave laughing."
[1L: No way, Li Huan'er is playing Emperor Gaozu???]
[2L: Speechless, why is Jieyuan cast as Qiao Zhuo?!]
[3L: The two people upstairs are just being sarcastic. Your older brother and sister are even less qualified to act.]
[4L: LOL, does 3L have any culture? Do they even know how history books describe Shang Shaoyan and Qiao Zhuo? Shang Shaoyan was a renowned beauty in his youth. Your sister isn't exactly the same, but she's completely unrelated.]
[5L: It's not just about looks. The reason Shang Shaoyan is considered one of the greatest emperors in history is because she was truly amazing! During the Zhou Dynasty, the entire Eurasian continent was our territory, and two-thirds of it was conquered by Shang Shaoyan personally leading her armies...]
[6L: Is nobody paying attention to the casting of Shang Yunlan?? I'd really appreciate it. That guy looks so greasy, how can he play the regent?]
[7L: Wow, Emperor Gaozu was so powerful, she even had a regent during her reign?]
[8L: The person upstairs should read more books. For the six years after Shang Shaoyan ascended the throne, he was always away fighting wars. Shang Yunlan was her biological brother, and when Shang Shaoyan was away, Shang Yunlan acted as regent.]
[9L: Shang Yunlan is so famous, and 7L doesn't even know him? Is he in elementary school? He invented a lot of things; the light bulbs and air conditioners we use now were all developed by him.]
[10L: I do know that. Shang Shaoyan often reviewed memorials at night, and Shang Yunlan invented the electric light because she was worried about her sister's eyes getting hurt; Shang Shaoyan was afraid of the heat and didn't want to waste resources building a summer palace, so Shang Yunlan invented air conditioning. These are all written in history books.]
[11L: Wow, if I had a brother like that, I'd be laughing in my sleep.]
[12L: Aren't you guys focusing on the wrong thing?]
[13L: Never mind if the focus is off-topic!! I just heard from my teacher that Emperor Gaozu's tomb has been discovered, and it will probably be announced in the next few days.]
[14L: Stop talking nonsense. Who doesn't know that the tomb of Emperor Gaozu is one of the world's top ten unsolved mysteries?]
[15L: Look at the IP address of 13L upstairs, it's at Tsinghua University, so it's very likely true...]
[...]
[100L: Holy crap, 13L is telling the truth, Emperor Gaozu's tomb has been discovered! I'm speechless, everyone, go check out the trending topics!]
[101L: I'm back after watching... I'm genuinely shocked! The sketches of Shang Shaoyan and Qiao Zhuo are so well preserved! And they're both so handsome, indescribably handsome, absolutely amazing.]
[102L: Did the person upstairs only notice their good looks?! I think this tomb is so luxurious, no wonder it's an imperial mausoleum. In the video, the old professor was introducing the tomb when something hit him, and when he picked it up, he found it was a pearl the size of a fist...and many other treasures.]
[103L: Shang Shaoyan probably has OCD, haha. Look, those gems are arranged by color, it's so pleasing to the eye.]
[104L: You guys only care about the Empress's looks and her fortune, but am I the only one who cares about that newly unearthed diary?!]
[105L: I also read her diary! I must say, it's very well preserved, and it seems quite interesting... I heard it'll be compiled into a book soon, I'll definitely buy it then!!]
[106L: I've already compiled part of it and posted it online. I read a few clips, and I almost died laughing. Shang Shaoyan is actually a funny girl, and Qiao Zhuo is actually a love-struck fool—it's completely different from the unofficial history!]
[107L: I copied a passage: "March 27th, rain. Today, Qiao Xiuyu and I had a fight. Qiao Xiuyu insisted that I go flower viewing with him because he thought it was romantic. But I felt it was inconvenient because of the rain. After the fight, we took a nap in separate rooms. When I woke up, I found that he had picked a lot of flowers in the rain and put them on my bedside table. I was quite touched, if only I hadn't been stung three times by bees attracted by the flowers."]
[108L: Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! I feel like they have that high school romance vibe!]
[109L: Replying to the comment above, I just calculated the time. Shang Shaoyan was exactly eighteen years old back then, which would be a high school student now.]
[110L: I also copied a paragraph: "April 20th, sunny. Today is my brother's birthday. Qiao Xiuyu is preparing a birthday surprise for him. I really want to tell him that no matter what you give him, as long as you are his brother-in-law, he will never give you a good look..." Hahahaha, Regent Shang Yunlan is actually a sister-obsessed brother! Help!]
[111L: The Empress is truly beautiful, has an interesting soul, and is rich too! I'm confident I can have a great time with my wife!]
[112L: Upstairs, be careful, Qiao Zhuo might come looking for you in the middle of the night.]
[113L: Wasn't Qiao Zhuo in the history books supposed to be very upright and gentle? He seems a bit simple-minded...]
[114L: That's unlikely. After all, Qiao Zhuo was married to the Empress as the ruler of Northern Zhou; his intelligence couldn't be lacking.]
[115L: Yeah, these two are practically married before falling in love, right? Shang Shaoyan is so smart, how could he possibly fall for a simpleton like him?]
[116L: Here comes the slap in the face... "January 13th, overcast. My brother said Qiao Xiuyu is too stupid. He's annoyed with Qiao Xiuyu every day, but I think it's fine. Our Seventh Brother isn't stupid; he's clearly wise in his apparent foolishness. If my brother keeps saying that, I'll arrange a marriage for him. I'm so angry." So even if Qiao Zhuo is a simpleton, Shang Shaoyan thinks it's wise in his apparent foolishness, hahaha.]
[117L: Following up on the previous comment, these two didn't fall in love after marriage. According to historical records, when Shang Shaoyan was still the Princess of Nanchen County, he kept a male concubine. This concubine was quite favored and always stayed by Shang Shaoyan's side. Later, his whereabouts are unknown, but experts have compared the timelines and believe there is a 90% chance that the male concubine was Qiao Zhuo. I just found solid evidence in Shang Shaoyan's diary...]
Not long after, the post was deleted by the administrator.
Professor Wu looked at the "404 Not Found" screen on his phone, took off his glasses, and smiled at the staff around him, saying, "Let future generations judge our merits and demerits... It would be better if we could wait until we have studied this tomb more thoroughly before making a public announcement."
He squatted down and gently brushed away the sand covering a protruding object, revealing a shimmering light—a path adorned with luminous pearls, leading directly to the coffins of Empress Shang Shaoyan and Duke Duancheng Qiao Zhuo.
His merits and demerits will be judged by posterity.
People from the past will eventually be buried in the dust of history; some will be remembered, and some will be forgotten.
But everyone has a reason to exist.
