After finishing the government affairs, the weather outside was a bit gloomy, and Zhao Qingrui no longer felt like going out to play.
At this time in the Xiongnu territory, Sui Shicong successfully entered the Xiongnu royal court by virtue of his appearance being similar to that of the Xiongnu people, and established a good relationship with one of the royal court's guards.
"Brother Sui, can you really get food from the Qin Dynasty?" The captain of the guards stared at Sui Shicong with wide eyes.
"Of course, look at my name and my household registration. I have been lurking in Daqin for several years. I did this for the Huns and for my hometown." Sui Shicong said righteously.
He had inquired in advance before choosing this person. This captain of the guards had a good relationship with a guard around Prince Maodun in secret. This person was secretly Prince Maodun's man.
Zhao Qingrui asked him to come to the Xiongnu for trade, for a large number of cattle and sheep.
Zhao Qingrui gave Chu Yan the task of killing Prince Maodun. Chu Yan was in Shangjun, and it was too difficult for him to kill his way to the Xiongnu royal court.
He was ready to help Chu Yan complete this task. Someone who was considered a thorn in the young lady's side must not be that simple. However, he liked such challenging tasks.
He could easily name several ways to kill someone without even thinking.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he can get in touch with Prince Maodun.
However, he had a large amount of food, so he was not afraid of not being able to contact the Hun prince.
Now Touman Chanyu favors the little prince, but the eldest prince Maodun is no ordinary person either. He secretly inquired and found out that this prince is training his troops and is becoming more and more powerful.
The current Touman Chanyu also admires this son very much. He is very surprised by the abilities shown by Prince Maodun. He is worthy of being his son.
The captain of the guard looked at Sui Shicong, and thought about how generous Sui Shicong had been to him since they became friends, and he secretly envied him.
Although he was the captain of the guards, his salary was considered high and he had enough food and drink, but it was far less than that of the inhumane Sui Shicong.
However, Sui Shicong was a good person and would send him some things from time to time, most of which were rare things in the Qin Dynasty.
He likes this brother very much.
"Brother Sui is a righteous man. If you can really get a large amount of food, I will recommend you to the Chanyu." The captain of the guards said in a low voice.
"Thank you very much, brother." Sui Shicong looked grateful and then stuffed a pearl into his hand.
He calmly put the pearls away and said, "We are brothers, who cares about who? If I hadn't met you just now, I would have sworn brotherhood with you long ago."
After Sui Shicong left, the captain of the guards quietly came to Prince Maodun's palace and said, "Prince, this is the news I learned from Sui Shicong."
"Well, is this person reliable?" Prince Maodun leaned on the tiger skin. Although he was young, his voice was full of majesty.
"He only said that he had been lurking in Daqin for a few years, but he was indeed a Xiongnu man." The captain of the guards hesitated and said.
Sui Shicong is a mixed-race person with a rougher appearance and more Xiongnu bloodline. There is nothing wrong with the places he mentioned.
If you simply define Sui Shicong based on his appearance, you will probably be cheated out of everything by him.
"Okay, I understand. You go back first." Maodun wiped the dagger in his hand and said casually.
The captain of the guard left, and only Prince Maodun was left in the palace. If this man could really get a large amount of food.
His eyes narrowed slightly, the dagger in his hand was inserted into his waist, and he had an idea in his mind.
A few days later, Sui Shicong was taken to Prince Maodun's palace.

Zhao Qingrui frowned slightly as he looked at the memorial submitted today. Chunyu Yue was about to be released from the ban.
The Confucian scholars submitted a memorial, hoping that Chunyu Yue would continue in his original position.
He put down the pen in his hand and ate the cold drink brought by the palace maid. The weather outside was getting even hotter and gloomy, as if a rainstorm was brewing.
Daqin's water conservancy construction is still good, so Zhao Qingrui is not too worried.
How should Chunyu Yue arrange this person?
Personally, she didn't like this man.
During this period, the Confucian scholars were constantly taking action, trying to ruin her reputation, support Prince Fusu to ascend to the throne, publicize Fusu's benevolence, and so on.
Although it didn't cause any impact, it still made Zhao Qingrui a little annoyed, as if there was an annoying mosquito next to her, and she couldn't hit it, and it kept buzzing there.
Zhao Qingrui looked at Wang Xian and Zhang Liang. "Chun Yuyue's ban will be lifted soon. All officials in the court are retained after an assessment. Chun Yuyue hasn't been assessed yet. What should we do with him? Do you have any good ideas?"
"Your Highness, we don't have enough manpower to edit the books. Lord Wang has already submitted petitions several times. I hope Your Highness can assign more people to go over there." There are many books in the Qin Dynasty, and it is too difficult to recompile them. They are still being sorted out.
The corners of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched. If Chunyu Yue was sent there directly, this guy would probably be angry to death.
"What about you?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Liang.
"Your Highness, there are alternatives to the questions posed by Prime Minister Li and others some time ago. Just give one to Lord Chunyu for a test. He is an old man in the court and also the teacher of Prince Fusu, so he needs to be properly arranged." After pondering for a moment, Zhang Liang said respectfully.
The First Emperor disliked Confucian scholars, and the little princess didn't have much affection for them either. She brought Chunyu Yue into the court to make things difficult for her.
He had also read Lunyu sold in bookstores. After the book was published, it dealt a heavy blow to those Confucian scholars.
This feud had been formed a long time ago, and now that Zhao Qingrui was reviewing memorials, those Confucian scholars had made a lot of articles about it, although it didn't cause any waves.
Hearing Han Xin's words, Zhao Qingrui's eyes turned, "Go call Li Si over."
Li Si did not get along with those Confucian scholars. Li Si was the representative of the Legalists.
Confucianism emphasizes the differences between noble and humble, superior and inferior, close and distant, old and young, so it has to give diversity and use complex rituals as a tool to maintain social order, and opposes the law of unification.
The Legalist school of thought, on the other hand, sought to constrain all people in the country with the same, simple law, emphasizing uniformity. Therefore, it advocated the rule of law and opposed different rituals for different people.
Although Zhao Qingrui doesn't like Confucian scholars very much, they still have many good points.
The two companies have different starting points, but the results are the same, and they achieve the same goal.
Rule by ritual and rule by law are merely different tools used by Confucianism and Legalism to achieve their different ideal social orders.
The people who set the questions were Li Si and Feng Quji. Li Si disliked those Confucian scholars, and it was Li Si who proposed the book burning.
Although those books were preserved, even so, Li Si and those Confucian scholars could be said to be incompatible.
Zhang Liang's eyes flashed slightly, then he bowed and retreated to find Li Si.
