After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the second prince was stunned at first, then laughed: "Brother Zhao, don't joke, how is this possible?"

For the second prince, he actually didn't take what Zhao Kuo said seriously, thinking that this might just be a heartless statement from Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo's face turned upright and said seriously: "Brother, this is not a joke.

Brother, please ask you, this Green Willow girl, will you marry me in the future?"

The second prince was obviously hesitant to this question, but after a while, he nodded: "Yes, although I already have a wife, I am still willing to take Miss Green Willow as my concubine."

Don’t underestimate the identity of this concubine. After all, the second prince may become the emperor of the Seleucid Empire in the future. Once this Green Willow girl becomes the concubine of the second prince, she can give birth to the prince of the Seleucid Empire for the second prince in the future.

There is no saying that the eldest son succeeds the throne in the Seleucid Empire. All princes have the hope of competing for the throne, which means that the son of Miss Green Willow will also have the hope of becoming the next emperor of the Seleucid Empire in the future! From a brothel woman to a chance to become the queen mother of the Seleucid Empire in the future, this Miss Green Willow can be said to be very lucky.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "So, after you marry Miss Green Willow, you will become the son-in-law of our Han Kingdom, and even if you are in-laws with our Han Kingdom, you will be considered in-laws.

Since we are all in-laws, it wouldn’t be very simple if we integrate them together in the future.

Just your child with Miss Green Willow is the bridge for the integration and communication between the two major civilizations of the Han Dynasty and the Seleucids."

The second prince beat him up again.

Although Zhao Kuo's words sounded wrong to the second prince's ears, it seemed that this is true.

Zhao Kuo continued to tempt: "Brother, think about it, our Han Kingdom is very powerful, and what about the Seleucid Empire?

Through what you said after drinking in recent times, I can feel that this great empire is actually internal and external troubles.

As a high-level noble of the Seleucid Empire, of course, I can understand your feelings for the Seleucid Empire.

But, what if something happens to the Seleucid Empire in the future?

For example, our Emperor of Han’s personal expedition! By that time, do you really think your Seleucid Empire can resist it?”

The second prince's body trembled slightly, and after a while, he said, "Maybe...it should be possible."

Anyone can see that when the second prince said this, he had no confidence in his heart.

After all, the second prince was the only general in the Seleucid Empire who had fought with the Han Kingdom, and the only person who knew how powerful the Han army was.

As for the others, neither Antioch II nor Doros, they completely did not realize how dangerous the Han Dynasty was to the Seleucid Empire.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to the second prince: "There is a saying in our Han Kingdom, which is called "The Three Holes of Cunning Rabbits". This sentence means that a true wise man should learn to leave more ways for himself.

Of course, I will fully support your actions in the Seleucid Empire. After all, we all want to make money from the Seleucid Empire.

But I also hope that you can think about whether you should leave a way out for our Han Kingdom and give yourself a chance in the future!”

The second prince was silent for a moment and said to Zhao Kuo: "Brother Zhao, are you trying to persuade me to surrender to the Han Kingdom?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to the second prince: "Didn't you say it just now?

This gives you an extra way out and another choice.”

The second prince looked at Zhao Kuo and said calmly: "Since Brother Zhao has such a large industry, I believe there are many ways to go in the Han Dynasty."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you, as long as you don't kill people casually, you can basically help you settle other troubles."

The second prince was not surprised by Zhao Kuo's answer.

For the second prince, he had seen big merchants when he was in the Seleucid Empire, so he had long known that the so-called big merchants were just white gloves for those real big men living in seclusion behind the scenes.

The second prince was silent for a while and said, "Then please ask Brother Zhao to go back and tell those who want to persuade me to surrender. I am indeed willing to work together to make money, but at least for now, I am not willing to betray my motherland."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he immediately laughed: "Brother, you are over-thinking.

Brother, please tell you this too. No one will hope that you will betray your motherland. I just hope that in some cases in the future, you will be able to remember what you said today! Okay, I have almost drunk my wine today, and it’s time for me to go back. Let’s talk about it next time I have time!"

After saying that, Zhao Kuo got up and said goodbye.

Looking at Zhao Kuo's leaving figure, the second prince was also trapped in long-term thinking.

A gust of winter wind blew, and a fragrance came.

The Green Willow girl, who was just redeemed by Zhao Kuo not long ago, gently draped a coat on the second prince and whispered: "Husband, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

The second prince nodded and suddenly asked a question to Miss Green Willow: "Madam, what kind of person do you think the emperor of the Han Kingdom is?"

Miss Green Willow was obviously confused by this question. After a while, she said: "I have never seen the true face of His Majesty the Emperor. I just look at him from afar every year when I am triumphant, so I don't know much about His Majesty.

However, Your Majesty has indeed made our Han Kingdom stronger over the years and made the Chinese people live and work more peacefully. Almost everyone is convinced by Your Majesty and admires him very much."

After hearing the words of Miss Green Willow, the second prince nodded and sighed: "It may be the highest level of an emperor that can be admired by all people!"

...Zhao Kuo sat in the carriage returning to the palace, closing his eyes to rest.

The person sitting in front of Zhao Kuo was nothing but Zhao's intelligence minister Mao Sui.

Mao Sui respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, you have selected a group of nightingales to go to the Seleucid Empire next year according to your requirements. These nightingales are the most elite. I believe that after they go to the Seleucid Empire, they will soon open up a new situation for our Han Kingdom."

As an emperor, Zhao Kuo had to consider the national interests of the Han Dynasty more often.

So this time, making money is one aspect of reaching an agreement with the second prince, but the more important aspect is that it can allow the Nightingale spies to enter the Seleucid to spy on information, and quietly develop the Nightingale's power in the Seleucid Empire.

When the time is right, these nightingale spies in the right position will definitely contribute tremendous strength to the Zhao State conquering the nightingale.

After listening to Mao Sui’s report, Zhao Kuo asked, “Who will act as the leader of the Seleucid Nightingale branch this time?”

Mao Sui smiled and said, "Li Jian.

He is unquestionable for His Majesty, and his abilities are outstanding. He is also very familiar with the second prince. He is definitely the best candidate to perform this mission."

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly and said, "Okay, but this time I went to Seleugu was also a hard job.

Let’s do this, you will pass on my will tomorrow and grant him a doctor. His children can inherit his title in the future and let him do it well."

The doctor is a serious high-ranking noble title. It is very rare to be able to award such title to a spy spy.

Mao Sui was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then said, "Thank you for your reward. I believe that after Li Jian learned about your reward, he will work harder for your Majesty."

Zhao Kuo let out a sip of wine and said lightly: "Let them remember that they are not just doing things for me, but more importantly, they are doing things for all the Chinese people in the Han Dynasty.

The key to whether the Chinese people can sweep the world in the future is whether they can work diligently and well, so that our army in the Han Kingdom can predict the enemy's opportunity first."

Mao Sui nodded.

The carriage continued to move forward, and the carriage became quiet for the time being.

After a while, Mao Sui took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty seems to have the intention to surrender the second prince today. Is this my misunderstanding?"

For Mao Sui, he felt it was necessary to understand His Majesty the Emperor's view of the second prince, so that he could make a more accurate judgment on how to deal with the second prince in the future.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he also laughed and asked Mao Sui a question: "Mao Sui, I ask you, do you think if we forcibly promote Chinese civilization within the Seleucid Empire, the results will be good?"

Mao Sui thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "After all, the Seleucid Empire was a foreign race, and it was completely different from our China in terms of language and writing.

So if you want to assimilate the people of the Seleucid Empire, it will definitely be much more difficult than assimilate the people of the countries like Qin, Qi and Chu."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Yes, that's the reason.

It is not my race, and they also have a very brilliant civilization. How could it be a simple thing to assimilate them?

So, I was wondering, if some of the Seleucid seniors could be role models and take the lead in integrating into our Chinese civilization, would it be possible for other Seleucids to shake and make it easier for them to accept our Chinese civilization?"

When Mao Sui heard this, he felt that he should have fully understood: "So for His Majesty, this second prince may actually become this role model."

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Yes, it's him.

On the one hand, he is very young, and it is precisely because he is young that he is malleable, and we can change him more easily.

On the other hand, his status is also noble enough, and he may even be the future emperor of Seleucid. If such a person can be the first to integrate into our Chinese civilization, he will definitely play a significant role."

Mao Sui thought about it carefully and had to admit that Zhao Kuo's statement was indeed very successful.

Mao Sui said: "I understand what Your Majesty means. At that time, I will remind Li Jian to use Chinese culture to influence the Second Prince on weekdays."

Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is what I mean.

After all, he is the second prince now and is a person who has a very good chance to inherit the Seleucid throne. It is definitely unrealistic to persuade him to surrender to our great Han Kingdom at this time.

But, we can first use our people to influence him, so that he can gradually develop a favorable impression of the Han Dynasty and Chinese civilization in his heart.

In this case, when the Seleucid Empire is destroyed by our great Han army in the future, he will lose all hope of inheriting the throne. We only need to make a little more effort, and then it is a high probability that he will surrender and actively integrate into our Chinese civilization. This will have a huge effect on our great Han country's complete assimilation of the Seleucid people."

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Mao Sui was also full of admiration and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is indeed a clever plan. This second prince can be said to be completely under Your Majesty's control."

For Mao Sui, what he admires most is Zhao Kuo's control over people's hearts.

Many times, those who were plotted by Zhao Kuo may not even notice anything, and Zhao Kuo has quietly changed into what Zhao Kuo hopes to see in secret, and these guys are even ignorant of nothing.

Ploting invisible is the highest level of strategy.

After hearing Mao Sui's words, Zhao Kuo also smiled and looked at the palace city that was gradually approaching outside the window, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, it's all for this country and nation."

From the bottom of my heart, as a time traveler, Zhao Kuo can actually choose to stop after unifying the entire China. From now on, I will enjoy it every day, and no one will say anything about Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo chose another way, which was to help the newly unified China become stronger and allow the Han Kingdom to truly dominate the world.

This is destined to invest more energy and consume more time, and may even make Zhao Kuo have no chance of enjoyment in his life.

But compared with these, Zhao Kuo feels that he can still gain more.

Let Chinese civilization truly become the most brilliant civilization in the world, let all the people of the Han Kingdom confidently and proudly become the people of the world's largest country, and let the entire earth surrender to the great power of the Han Kingdom.

Compared with these achievements, be more tired.

Who made me want to become a truly eternal emperor? Zhao Kuo looked at the palace city that opened in front of him and smiled.

"Okay, I won't go to the queen and the two noble concubines tonight. I'll have a good rest and see this second prince tomorrow!"
