Sheng Guanping was chatting with Zhao Qingrui in the yard, he was mainly talking and Zhao Qingrui was listening.
Ying Zheng and Meng Yi came over aggressively.
When Ying Zheng saw this boy so close to his daughter, he became even angrier.
Sheng Guanping also noticed Ying Zheng immediately and quickly stood up, "Uncle Zhao, how are you?"
"Dad, you're back. Are you tired? Are you hungry?" Zhao Qingrui immediately asked with concern.
Although Dad's health has recovered a little in the past few days, his complexion is still not very good. According to her, it is best to let Dad recuperate at home before doing anything else.
"I'm not tired. There are guests at home again. I remember you are the son of the county lieutenant on the other side of Jingshui River." Ying Zheng shook his head. He was kind to his daughter, but his eyes were as sharp as knives towards Sheng Guanping.
This guy even wants to take advantage of his daughter.
He looked Sheng Guanping up and down. With his thin arms and legs, it was obvious that he had never suffered any hardship. Most importantly, this man was the Confucian scholar he hated the most. Based on this point alone, Sheng Guanping was already out in his mind.
"Yes, Father Sheng Yan." Uncle Zhao was so powerful that Sheng Guanping felt weak in the knees when he was stared at.
Isn't this guy a businessman? Why does he have such a strong aura? It's outrageous.
"Isn't your home in Beidi County? What are you doing in Xianyang?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes. Qin law restricted the movement of people, but this man actually ran to Xianyang. He must be quite capable.
"Uncle Zhao, I came to Xianyang to apply for a position as an official." Sheng Guanping said seriously, indicating that he was still capable.
"Dad, his uncle is Doctor Shusun Tong." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile. Since the talent has been brought to him, he naturally has to win him over.
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Shusun Tong?"
This guy is actually related to Shusun Tong. Among that group of doctors, the most active one is Chunyu Yue, who is also Fusu's teacher.
Since the burning of books and burying of scholars, these Confucian scholars have become much more honest.
"Yes, I am living in my uncle's house now, not far from Zhao's house." Being stared at by Ying Zheng, Sheng Guanping's heart trembled.
"Okay, we'll visit him later." There was suddenly a hint of evil interest in Ying Zheng's eyes. He didn't know what it would be like to see this kid after he really entered the officialdom.
Meng Yi stood aside, listening to what Sheng Guanping said, with a smile in his eyes, ready to watch the fun.
After having dinner at the Zhao family, Sheng Guanping quickly said goodbye and left. He felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ying Zheng.
"What's so good about that guy? You're still staring at him. The man has already run away. You're too timid." Seeing his daughter staring at the direction where Sheng Guanping left, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes.
Zhao Qingrui withdrew her gaze and took Ying Zheng's arm. "I didn't see him. We made a big discovery today. Let's go back and talk about it."
Zhao Qingrui was in a very good mood and began to think about how to win over Shusun Tong.
"Chunxi, you step back and guard the gate of the courtyard. Don't let anyone get close." When they arrived at the main courtyard, Zhao Qingrui asked the maid to guard the gate and only let Ying Zheng and Meng Yi in.
Seeing his daughter acting mysteriously again, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed. What his daughter wanted to say must be something serious.
The small courtyard was quiet, and Meng Yi was still standing behind Ying Zheng like a wooden man.
Zhao Qingrui made a cup of tea for Ying Zheng and said, "Dad, today I want to talk to you about Shusun Tong. He is a very capable man."
"Oh? What's so special about this person that you admire him?" Ying Zheng was really curious.
Shusun Tong was a doctor waiting to be appointed. Above him was a charismatic Chunyu Yue, but he didn't pay much attention to this person.
I just know that this person has real ability, otherwise he would not have chosen him to be a doctor.
Zhao Qingrui slowly recounted this man's deeds. "When Shusun Tong saw that the Qin Dynasty was about to be destroyed..., Shusun Tong went to Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, where he established court rituals for the Han Dynasty, recommended talented people, and pushed Confucianism to the forefront of politics."
After hearing his daughter say that Shusun Tong fooled Qin II Hu Hai, then ran away and defected to Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, Ying Zheng breathed quickly and wanted to chop this bastard to death.
After taking several deep breaths, Ying Zheng finally suppressed his anger. "Han Dynasty? Who is this Liu Bang?"
Meng Yi was shocked. He didn't expect that Shusun Tong was such a shameless guy who betrayed his master several times, but could still do so well. He was indeed very capable.
"The head of Sishui Pavilion in Pei County killed a white snake and started an uprising, calling himself the son of the Red Emperor. He followed the magistrate of Pei County in the uprising, with the assistance of Xiao He and Cao Shen. Everyone responded to the uprising, defeated the Chu army, and eventually ruled the world and established the Han Dynasty." Zhao Qingrui sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"A Sishui Pavilion Chief is so capable?" Ying Zheng was stunned. He was just a small pavilion chief.
"He had neither family background nor the talent for governing a country, yet he conquered the world in just seven years. This was mainly due to his ability to use talents wisely. He had many talented people under his command, including the military genius Han Xin, the statecraft Xiao He, the strategic planner Zhang Liang, and the both civil and military virtuous Cao Shen, to name a few."
It’s a pity that few of them have a good ending.
"I remember someone said a few days ago that you had Han Xin taken back to Jingshui Pavilion."
"That's right. Now that we know these people, we naturally have to catch all these talents in one fell swoop." Zhao Qingrui calmly poured a glass of warm water for Ying Zheng.
This is her advantage, how could she let it go unused?
Ying Zheng looked at his daughter meaningfully. She had prepared a lot.
"Tell me about the others."
Zhao Qingrui had no doubts and explained the origins of these people in detail.
"In addition to these people, there is another person who needs attention, Zhang Han, the Shaofu of the Qin Dynasty."
"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng launched a rebellion in the wilds. The princes rose up and an army of hundreds of thousands approached Hangu Pass. Zhang Han was appointed to take charge of the situation. He made an impromptu organization of the prisoners of Mount Li and defeated Zhou Wen's army of hundreds of thousands. He then defeated the combined forces of Qi and Chu. After first defeating them, he won and defeated the Chu commander Xiang Liang and killed him in Dingtao."
"It was him who almost saved the Qin Empire from collapse."
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow, very surprised, "Isn't he a civil servant? He actually has the ability to lead troops."
"Yeah, who would have thought."
Ying Zheng tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and ordered people to arrest these people and bring them to Xianyang.
Since they are all capable people, let's call them all to serve the Qin Dynasty.
However, among these people, there was one who gave him a headache, and that was Zhang Liang. When he was on his third tour, he was attacked in Bolingsha, and the assassins were led by Zhang Liang.
He frowned, a gleam in his eyes. He now knew roughly where these people were, and it would be much easier to capture Zhang Liang.
And this Zhang Han, we need to pay special attention to him after we go back. What arrangements should we make?
It just so happened that Fusu was called back by him, so he let Zhang Han go to Shangjun. The Huns there invaded from time to time, so it was a good opportunity to see Zhang Han's ability.
