I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

The second volume, in the world, has finally come to an end.

This volume contains a lot of content and is very diverse.

First, let’s talk about what Bennett experienced on his way to the royal capital.

Here, I feel like I should apologize to the readers, because there are only a few things that happened on the way to the royal capital, and they are laying the groundwork for the content that follows.

Most of these contents are what Bennett experienced and what is happening in this world.

For Bennett, this is necessary. He needs to look at these things and make his own choices and form his own values ​​after these things happen.

This is difficult to write, and online articles do not recommend writing this kind of thing.

In this part, Sera was his teacher.

What followed was what happened in the royal capital. The teacher here was replaced by a great wizard.

When we arrived at the royal capital, many things happened: Alan's story, Hannibal's story, the secret of the great wizard, the emergence of the orc saint, the Church of Bethel coming onto the historical stage, the story of Adam and Grand Duke Rose, and the appearance of the dragon.

Some of these characters are just minor figures in history, such as Allen, but I think his life is worth writing about.

For the remaining main characters, there is always only one theme, which is the continuation of the race.

After I finished writing it, I realized that it seemed a little difficult to find a real villain in it.

A big taboo in online literature is not to have any villains in it.

Even the Grand Duke of Rose, a character that makes readers hate him, is an excellent lord in his own territory. Even from a human perspective, he rescued humans from another continent. It is difficult to judge this person.

Hannibal, the life of a legendary warrior. Although he stands on the opposite side of the protagonist, he is my favorite character.

The Dragon King, I myself cannot evaluate this character, you say he is a villain, but from the perspective of the monster, he is really a hero. He even saved humanity in the confrontation with the great wizard.

Without a villain, it would be difficult to clearly identify the position of the protagonist who is opposed to him.

Moreover, these villains are so awesome that the protagonists seem a bit rubbish.

When I was writing this novel, I watched a series of documentaries such as Rise of the Barbarians, The Real Game of Thrones, and The Germanic Tribes, and looked up a lot of medieval information, and then started writing.

The characters in history are all very complex. This feeling has become even stronger as I have read Records of the Grand Historian recently.

Even someone as powerful as the First Emperor had an unbearable side to his character.

The characters in the book all have their own selfish motives, especially the women. Many times, I dare not write them down because it would make everyone feel uncomfortable. I am really afraid of being criticized.

After finishing this book, I have to write a cool story, a completely cool story.

At the end of this volume, Bennett and others still failed to kill the Dragon King.

Some people said that I was deliberately slowing down the pace, so I released this Fire King.

However, if you analyze this Dragon King, do you really think that this Fire King was specially arranged by me?

Considering the Dragon King's status among monsters and his status as a monster, do I still need to make special arrangements?

Maybe I didn't explain the matter of the Dragon King clearly. If I didn't, please leave a comment here and I will go back and see what's wrong.

..............................

I have been reading Records of the Grand Historian recently, and today I will write an article about Qin and Qin Shihuang.

Qin II died.

There is a very interesting statement on the Internet that Qin Shihuang was the child of Lu Buwei.

After I read The Book of Qin and The Book of Qin Shi Huang, I think it's nonsense.

There were 31 kings in the Qin State, and the personalities of these kings were almost exactly the same.

Qin Shihuang's character is almost exactly the same as that of his ancestors, especially those ancestors who had accomplished great things.

This kind of personality is somewhat like Cao Cao as described by Mr. Yi Zhongtian, sentimental and suspicious.

When they trust you, they will let you eat at the same table with the monarch and hand over the entire government to you. When they don't trust you, they want to kill you on the spot.

I first wrote about the death of Qin Ershi, and then wrote about the life experience and personality of Qin Shihuang, as well as the personalities of their ancestors. You may think that this is off topic.

On the contrary, it was this character passed down from generation to generation, the reputation they left among the people, and their philosophy of governing the country that were the root cause of their country's demise.

Let’s first write about the first great ruler of the Qin State, Duke Mu of Qin.

He redeemed Bai Li Xi from the people of Chu, reused Pi Bao who fled from Jin to Qin, and made an alliance with Jin. Later, he supported Jin Prince Chong'er who had been in exile for many years, and used You Yu's strategy to capture the King of Rong alive.

Expanding territory and sorting out internal affairs allowed the Qin State to become the overlord for the first time.

However, when he died, he buried with him all his meritorious, capable and wise officials, a total of 177 people.

It can be said that we don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but we ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.

Come on, good brothers for life, good king and ministers share the same tomb.

The second powerful ruler was Duke Xiao of Qin.

This lord was not as powerful as Duke Mu of Qin, but he was also a heroic lord. His achievements in land included recovering the lands lost during the reign of Duke Mu of Qin and defeating the State of Wei, which prevented it from rising again.

In terms of his achievements in domestic affairs, this lord was truly strong. He appointed Shang Yang to carry out reforms, merged villages into counties, appointed county magistrates, measured land, and promulgated a new taxation system, all of which cut into the aorta of the nobility.

Shang Yang, or Wei Yang, made great contributions to the State of Qin.

It was very embarrassing. After Duke Xiao of Qin died, Duke Hui of Qin took over.

Everyone knows what happened to Shang Yang.

This man had offended the nobles, so perhaps someone would try to clear the name of Duke Hui of Qin. Ah, Duke Hui of Qin had no choice, as Shang Yang had offended too many people.

But the next one is beyond words.

During the reign of Duke Hui of Qin, another wise minister came - Zhang Yi.

The vertical and horizontal alliances, Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi really worked hard for Qin. He went on many diplomatic missions to the six countries, lobbying them with the strategy of "lianheng" and breaking the strategy of "hezong". As a result, all the countries changed from "hezong" to "lianheng" to "hezong". (I'm too lazy to finish, so I just used Baidu)

What was Zhang Yi’s final outcome?

King Huiwen of Qin died and King Wu of Qin came to power. King Wu had an old relationship with Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi fled to the State of Wei and died of illness in the State of Wei.

After Zhang Yi, you will never see another civil servant who is willing to fight for the Qin State.

The State of Qin killed two capable ministers, Shang Yang, who was in charge of internal affairs, and Zhang Yi, who was in charge of foreign affairs. Ambitious literati in the world could no longer be loyal to Qin, which also laid the groundwork for Bai Qi's death.

The one after that is even more of a classic.

King Wu competed with Meng Shuo in lifting a tripod, and King Wu's leg was broken.

The Qin State killed Meng Shuo's entire clan. If Meng Shuo went to the underworld, he would probably have to say, "I can't afford to play with you, sir."

The next person to succeed to the throne was the famous King Zhao of Qin, also known as King Zhaoxiang.

The famous Mi Bazi, the Queen Dowager Xuan of the Qin Dynasty, and the story of the Queen Dowager Xuan and King Yiqiu that must be told in those years, also happened during the reign of this lord.

During this period, a famous general emerged, Bai Qi.

Bai Qi, Marquis of Wu'an, was first demoted to a soldier and exiled to Yinmi, and then was executed on the way.

When it comes to the First Emperor, um...

Let’s talk about Wang Jian here. There is a little story, and you can compare it with Bai Qi’s ending.

When attacking Chu, the First Emperor asked Wang Jian: How many soldiers do you want? Wang Jian said: 600,000. Li Xin said: 200,000 is enough.

So Wang Jian retired.

After Li Xin was defeated, the First Emperor personally went to invite Wang Jian, and only then was the State of Chu defeated.

At this point, the defeat of Qin was actually inevitable.

After Zhang Yi's death, only those who put power first would go to Qin to serve as officials.

Most of the officials of Qin were flatterers. In the early period of Emperor Qin Shihuang, Li Si dared to give some advice, but in the later period, Li Si didn't even dare to fart.

It can be said that what Qin Shihuang took over was a giant in the middle stage of cancer. After this giant conquered the world, cancer broke out.

Did Hu Hai have problems? Yes, but they were far from the point of causing the whole world to rebel. There have been many outrageous emperors in history, and he was not the most outrageous one.

But the situation was too bad to be reversed. Starting from the First Emperor, the ministers only knew how to speak flattering words. The First Emperor was capable and could make the distinction, but the Second Emperor, who was 12 years old, succeeded to the throne.

The next emperor, Ziying, was really a pity. He killed Zhao Gao and became the new emperor. Unfortunately, just as he ascended the throne, he met Liu Bang outside the city. Liu Bang did not kill him, but Xiang Yu killed him.

If you are interested, you can learn about the last emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He reigned for only forty-six days. If he had not been born in the wrong era, he would have been a heroic ruler.

Ziying is Fusu's son. How could Fusu be a waste if he had such a child? I'm afraid the reason behind Fusu's suicide is far more than just a secret order.
