First of all, there is no denying that there are some problems in Dafuqin. As some netizens spit out, what they want to see is how Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries, not the palace fighting drama. "Dafuqin" does use a lot of space to describe the palace fight between Qin Shihuang and Empress Dowager Huayang, Lv Buwei and Laoyi, and the pace is a bit slow. However, considering that the total number of episodes of Dafuqin is as high as 78, it is still barely acceptable.
Secondly, I don't agree with the view that Ying Zheng is too kind. In fact, Ying Zheng's version of "Dafuqin" is very hypocritical. He is often full of benevolence and morality, but he is extremely ruthless in doing things.
Take Lao Ai's rebellion as an example. Ying Zheng had at least two chances to kill Ed. For the first time, Ying Zheng went to Ganquan Palace alone and found two illegitimate children of Evonne and Laoyi. At that time, due to panic, Lao Ai had to lie on the ground shivering.
The second time, while Evonne and Laoyi were asleep, Ying Zheng hung a sword over Laoyi's head. With this kung fu of hanging a sword, Zheng Can killed Laoyi with a sword.
Including cutting off his arm and preventing him from exposing the scandal between Evonne and Ed. When Lv Buwei wanted to hang Ai, Ying Zheng not only stopped him personally, but also sent someone to report to Evonne. Admittedly, Ying Zheng's purpose is to stimulate Laoyi and make Laoyi have to oppose it. Lao Ai's rebellion was implicated in Lv Buwei. After all, Ai was introduced to Evonne by Lv Buwei. The ultimate goal was achieved, and Lv Buwei was dismissed for his crimes.
But in the process, Ying Zheng sacrificed many people. Knowing that Lao Ai is going to rebel, what does it mean to leave his son Fu Su in Xianyang and Fu Su in Xianyang? Ying Zheng is ready to sacrifice his son in order to fool Ed. Fortunately, Fu Su escaped this robbery, and others were not so lucky.
Wei won the battle to protect Fu Su, the soldiers who stayed in Xianyang and were loyal to Ying Zheng, and the people who participated in the trial. How many people died? In other words, Ying Zheng deliberately sacrificed many people in order to "strike". The most important thing is to be loyal to your subjects at all costs. How can such a kind Zheng be said?
If Ying Zheng really did as he said, it was for the benefit of the people all over the world. He would never let so many people die in vain just because he wanted to be photogenic, and directly killed Ai. As for Lv Buwei, it is only a matter of time before Ying Zheng takes office and gradually surrenders power. But at this time, Ying Zheng's thirst for power can't wait. In order to satisfy his desire for power, no matter how many people die.
From this perspective, Ying Zheng's version of Dafuqin is still relatively close to history, at least in terms of characters. When many people mention Qin Shihuang, the image of a tyrant comes to mind. But at this time, Ying Zheng of Dafuqin is just in his early years, and he hasn't had a chance to show his tyrant side, including "burning books to bury Confucianism" and so on.
PS: "Burning books to bury Confucianism" is controversial, and there is textual research on "burning books", but there is no conclusive evidence of "burning books to bury Confucianism".
Edward Zhang, who is about forty years old, plays the young Ying Zheng, giving the audience the illusion that Ying Zheng is nearly middle-aged. From common sense, young Ying Zheng should be treacherous and cunning. After all, at that time, the State of Qin had the Truman of Huayang Queen, the clan headed by Benxi, and many foreign forces such as Lv Buwei, among which the young Ying Zheng was bound to have incomparable scheming.
Admittedly, Dafuqin did not meet many people's expectations, but Ying Zheng's version of Dafuqin was absolutely unkind.
Personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it.
