After a year, I finally finished watching this historical drama. Although the ending is expected, I still feel a little unacceptable. Seeing that the Qin empire rose from the Shang Yang Reform after six generations of kings, it went to extinction in just three years. The last movie looks very painful. The heroes died miserably one by one, and the plot succeeded step by step. I have been expecting someone to stand up and stop Zhao Gao and Hu Hai from running amok. If Fu Su didn't commit suicide, if Meng Tian didn't obey the king's orders so meekly, if Reese could wake up at the last minute and kill Zhao Gao to establish a new emperor, would the outcome change? There may be Qin V, Qin VI or even a dozen generations, but I'm afraid I can't escape the last death after all. Just like six extinct countries.

It is accidental that Qin ruled the country. It can be seen that the demise of every country can actually be attributed to the monarch. Whenever we meet a wise monarch, the country can reform and strengthen itself. Once you meet a bad king, you will soon consume empty national strength. Even though Shang Yang's political reform in Qin was much deeper than that in the six countries, and the whole country was a country ruled by law completely, the power of the king was still above everything else, so even a monarch like Ying Zheng sometimes lost his mind and "marched". Therefore, the strength of Qin depends on the personal ability of the monarch. Fortunately, the luck of Qin is really better than that of the six countries. Among the six generations of kings after Qin Xiaogong 140 years, there are only three mediocre people, and the combined ruling time of these three people is only eight years, while the combined ruling time of men like Qin Xiaogong, Qin Huiwen, Qin Zhaowang and Ying Zheng is 132 years. Lao Wang's twilight reign is also a period prone to problems. In the State of Qin, except for Qin Zhao, who was in danger of ruling in the late 56th year, almost all other wise monarchs died young. Almost died in the line of duty

Finally, after the death of a generation of wise SHEN WOO masters like Ying Zheng, the Qin Empire finally met the most fatuous king in history, which made the traitor realize the truth and become a martyr of the country, and died in less than three years. Seeing that history has entered a retrogression period, the road of rule of law established since Shang Yang's political reform has been completely destroyed, and all the wealth and big projects accumulated by the empire have been destroyed. What a heartbreaker! The only gratifying thing is that after the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, many systems after Ying Zheng unified the world were actually restored, which enabled Chinese civilization to continue.

Although it is a novel, it contains a profound historical view and is explained by official history. Suddenly, it is a terrible thing to know only one historical fact but not the story and reason behind it when studying history. I really hope that Mr. Sun can continue to write after the Chu-Han dispute and let me study history again.
