Although Chen Xu was a little moved, he knew that Asia might still be pretending to be pitiful.

As Asia herself said, a woman came to Daqin without fear of life and death because she had great hope for Daqin, but what she got was rejection and helplessness. This huge psychological gap and blow was not something that ordinary people could bear.

However, as the left prime minister, he had to make enough judgments for a battle that would sway the country. Interests between countries are always the first priority. If there is no sufficient interests, he would never ask for help. What's more, there was a huge debate between the court and the people. If the Qin Dynasty wants to develop on an ideal path in the future, he had to consider the sentiment of the people. If a country wants long-term stability, democracy is the only way, and the rule of law can only be used as an auxiliary means. It is a delusion to hope for wise monarchs and wise ministers from generation to generation.

Chen Xu would definitely not do it when he avenged Asia to conquer Anxi. This was not what wise ministers did. If he really did this, it would inevitably become a stain on him, or even a stain on Chinese history. However, conquering Anxi Daqin must do it. Even the First Emperor had already started to do it for the sake of Li Shun's mission. The order to conquer Anxi has been issued, and food, grass and weapons have begun to be prepared. Now that Li Shun's mission has returned successfully, the war has lost its meaning. Chen Xu has been thinking about finding an opportunity to convince the First Emperor that he can change a military strategy and require less investment to take effect quickly, which will not affect the deepening reform and economic development of the Qin Dynasty.

You should know that at present, there are shortages of people in all walks of life in the Qin Dynasty. Once a war begins, tens of thousands of troops will require hundreds of thousands of logistics to resolve the problem. To draw so many people, a large number of engineering construction and factories and mines will inevitably be shut down. Moreover, the large amount of expenditure of the imperial court will give priority to supporting the war, and many projects that support people's livelihood development will fall into an unsustainable state. This war is destined not to end in one or two years, three or five years is the norm, and ten or eight years is not uncommon. The variables of the labor expedition are too great. The broken places in Central Asia and the Iranian Plateau cannot be conquered by excellent weapons alone. Once it is delayed for ten or eight years, Chen Xu feels that the little wealth he has accumulated for the Qin Dynasty will soon be defeated. In addition, if the First Emperor suddenly collapses in the middle of the journey, more variables will be added.

Therefore, in Chen Xu's opinion, it is best for Daqin to do nothing in the next year, so that he can have enough energy to arrange and deal with the arrival of the catastrophe.

"Asia, you have traveled thousands of miles to Daqin. You have indeed suffered a lot on the way and suffered a lot of sins. But I, Daqin and Anxi have no grudges. Your Majesty will not fight against Anxi for your troops. You must be clear about your current identity and status. You have nothing except the title of a princess who lost his country. Do you know the interests? There is no sufficient benefit. Not only the First Emperor will not agree, but this marquis will not agree, because I will not suffer at least hundreds of thousands of people to help you revenge and restore the country. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars in expenses. What do you pay for this price?" After thinking about it, Chen Xu put away his not much sympathy and spoke.

"Asia understands that I thought it was too simple at the beginning. In Susa, I have always been growing up under the care of my parents and my brothers and sisters. I have never experienced such sadness and pain. These days, under the care of three marquises and some famous Qin scholars who care about Asia, I also know that I am too reckless and self-righteous. Today, I just want to ask the Marquis to forgive Asia's ignorance and give Asia a clear way. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Asia is willing to go to anything, and I am not afraid of suffering and suffering. I am even willing to give up the title of princess. No matter whether she can succeed in the end, she will never forget the kindness of the Marquis!"

"It turns out that she is an extremely smart woman!" Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

From Asia's words, he had already clearly understood that in less than a month, Asia had really understood his current situation, and the thoughts of the First Emperor and the civil and military officials of the court.

Give up the so-called identity, give up the so-called persistence, give up the unrealistic fantasy, but use weakness and pity to impress yourself, the imperial prime minister, who is known as the disciple of the immortal family.

Chen Xu believed that this was not only a change from Asia's own, but also countless so-called famous scholars from the Qin Dynasty gave Asia advice behind the scenes, including his three wives, especially the big wife sitting next to her.

Chen Xu glared at Shui Qingrou slightly, and Shui Qingrou instantly put away the concern on her face, and her cheeks were slightly red and she dared not look at Chen Xu.

It is said that no one knows husbands than wife. These three wives have become sympathetic since they learned that Asia had encountered them. Perhaps they know that Chen Xu will not turn a blind eye to this matter in the end.

"I'll ask you a question, you must answer truthfully, otherwise you can't get any help from me!" Chen Xu gently tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers and spoke after a long time.

"What does the Marquis want to know?" Asia asked with her tears gently wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"What would you do if Susa recovers from the future?"

"After the restoration of the country..." Asia's body trembled slightly and grabbed her skirt tightly. She hesitated for a long time. She seemed to not know how to answer.

"Well, you don't have to rush to answer this question. Go back and think it through before telling me. If the answer satisfies me, I will give you a perfect road to revenge and rejuvenation. In the future, you will not only kill Antioch with your own hands to avenge your parents and brothers, but also make you Susa the most prosperous and beautiful city in the West again. Like Xianyang, it is full of porcelain, silk, glass, enamel, sugar and wine, soap, perfume and other dazzling products. Susa's subjects all live a happy and fulfilling life, and you can also become the supreme queen of Susa..."

Every time Chen Xu said something, Asia's face became more shocked and joyful. When Chen Xu said the word "Queen", Asia suddenly straightened her back and looked at Chen Xu with big blue eyes, as if she was judging whether she had heard it wrong.

The two words "Queen Chen Xu" also made the Shui Qingrou, who was sitting next to her, instantly stunned.

"Husband, how could a woman be a king in the world?" Shui Qingrou woke up and asked in surprise.

"There is not in the East, but in the West, if you don't believe me, please ask Princess Asia!" Chen Xu threw the question to Asia with uncertainty.

Western history is very chaotic, and it seems that there has always been a tradition of women becoming kings, such as the legend of Cleopatra, but I don’t know if it appears now.

"Returning to the Marquis, in our West, there is indeed a precedent for women to be kings. The place where our country of Susa is located is called Mesopotamia, which is a beautiful plain flowing with two great rivers. There was once the oldest country in the West, called Sumer, the ancestor of our Elamites, and the earliest race to live in Mesopotamia. They built many cities, conquered vast areas, and formed a huge empire. In the Sumer Empire, a great queen once appeared..." Asia knelt on the ground and explained softly.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this time the show was successful, so he waved his hand and said, "Get up, my promise has always been effective, but your answer is the most critical. Please remember that there is no free dinner in the world. Daqin cannot help you restore your country and revenge without paying any returns. Everything requires effort. Only if you understand this, you may find the correct answer!"

"Thank you, Marquis. After Asia returns, she will definitely think carefully and give the Marquis a satisfactory answer!" After Asia stood up, she saluted slowly, and most of the misery and helplessness on her face disappeared.

"Go and invite the second master to send Princess Asia back to the inn!" Chen Xu turned around and ordered the maid standing at the door to find Han Xin.

Soon Han Xin came quickly and after listening to Chen Xu's instructions, he took Asia away with him very readily.

Seeing the two people's backs disappear into the path in the backyard, Shui Qingrou looked at Chen Xu with a strange face: "Is Husband trying to fulfill my second uncle?"

"Well, my second brother is not young anymore. Last time Xing'er and Dashi came home with a marriage, I was scolded by my father. Aunt Han also cried in front of me, which made me very embarrassed. My second brother was extremely intelligent and arrogant. I have mentioned some daughters of princes and princes before, but he was all excused. However, when I met Asia today, I felt that this was a great opportunity, but unfortunately he was not very interested... Alas, if you say that he didn't want to get married, you would blame your sister-in-law!" Chen Xu sighed and shook his head.

"Why are we blamed? We have mentioned kissing to our second uncle several times before, but he tried to refuse!" Shui Qingrou was even more puzzled.

"Haha, that's not, but because you are all so excellent, so my second brother has always used yours as the standard, so this marriage is naturally hard to find. I'm afraid there are not many women like you and Caiying Caiwei who are both beautiful, gentle, intelligent and capable in the world. You can see Asia too. It's not just ordinary women as simple as ordinary women, and their status is very special. If I help Asia restore the country, I must find a person who can completely control her. Second brother, I think it's the best candidate. Let's go, it's getting late, let's see a few daughters..." Chen Xu stood up with a smile.

"I'm afraid Asia doesn't like her second uncle!" Shui Qingrou stood up and took Chen Xu's arm, and said with some concern when she went out.

"Fall in love over time, who can tell the truth clearly? And I plan to arrange for my second brother to lead a fleet to escort her back to restore the country. I also hope that she can see the situation clearly, otherwise the hope for the future may not be as beautiful as she imagined!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"My husband is going to take this matter as a condition?" Shui Qingrou stopped in surprise.

"No, Susa is too far away. If you want to conquer Anxu from land and then restore your country, there is no hope. What you can do now is to find a route to the West as soon as possible, so that the Qin fleet can reach Susa directly from the sea, and use the powerful power of muskets and cannons to seize Susa from Anxu first. With the call of Asia, the princess of Susa and the strong support of Daqin, Susa will be able to restore your country soon, and then use Susa as a strong base to slowly expand around. In one or two years, Susa will inevitably grow into a great country that can compete with Anxu. As one goes, Anxu's strength will be damaged, and Seleucor and other Western majors will be greatly improved.

The country will not give up this opportunity to erode peace. Two years later, Daqin, with Dayuan as its base, gradually increased its troops and first conquered Kangju and Daxia. At the same time, with the help of Daqin, King Ning also built a batch of factories and workshops that can build stirrup saddles, make carriages, repair weapons, etc. After completely gaining a foothold, Daqin can begin to conquer Anxu. In this way, under the attack of the east and west, Anxu will inevitably collapse soon. Only then will Asia have the opportunity to take revenge. If she wants to fulfill this ideal, she must have solid support and an invincible commander support. The second brother is the best candidate..."

"Actually, I feel that my husband is the best candidate!"

"Forget it, my husband, I have three of you, it's enough. Besides, I don't like women with too complicated thoughts and ambitions. Besides, as the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the emperor's grand tutor, how could my husband leave behind the government affairs of the court and do such things? A person like Asia is more suitable for his second brother. If they become two of them, the future king of Susa will probably change his surname to Han..."

"Didn't you just say that you want to help Asia become Queen Susa?" Shui Qingrou looked at Chen Xu with even more suspicion.

"If you don't say that, how to arouse her ambitions and desires, but if she is smart enough, she will definitely give up this plan. The civil and military officials of the Great Qin Dynasty will definitely not allow the king of the vastige to be a woman. If she wants to get rid of the Great Qin after she succeeds, it will be when Susa's country completely changes hands, and the ships and artillery of the Great Qin will definitely make her regret..."
