All the civil and military officials and the First Emperor sat quietly and listened to Chen Xu pointing to the map and bragging.

This is a very wonderful treat.

Everyone will not suspect that Chen Xu was wrong, because these things all come from the contents of the three volumes of the Heavenly Book. If you can listen to the contents of the Heavenly Book in such detail, everyone has a feeling of sublimation of the soul, and their vision is suddenly clear, and their understanding of the world has improved a lot.

"Just as His Majesty said just now, it is a very unwise choice for our Daqin to recruit troops from land to fight Anxue war head-on. It not only consumes huge amounts but also time. However, if we can join forces with Western countries such as Seleucid in Egypt to fight Anxue, our Daqin will slowly mobilize troops from land to squeeze, and we can even command the Daqin Hai Master to land on the coast of Anxue. In this way, the cost of conquering Anxue will be much smaller..."

After the explanation, Chen Xu turned to look at Asia and said, "You took the initiative to follow the mission to Daqin, which not only aroused Antioch's anger, but also subconsciously made him treat Daqin as an enemy, thus destroying Daqin's plan to confuse Anxu. At the beginning of the war to conquer Anxu in the future, I, Daqin, will have to devote more energy and sacrifice the lives of more soldiers..."

Asia looked pale and shivered all over her body, looking at the world map that she had never seen before, her face was dull. Her big blue eyes stared at Susa's position and her lips were slightly shaking, but she felt that she had no strength to speak.

"Asia, you can hear the words of the Grand Master clearly. Because of your reasons, the matter of our Great Qin sent to the Western countries may be wrong. In the future, it may cause more trouble and casualties to the Great Qin. I will consider what you ask for, but you cannot control the matter of pursuing rest. This matter will be given up for the time being. Officials of the Ministry of Rites will take him out of the court and properly place him in the inn! "

"I obey the order!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites who came in with Asia quickly bowed and asked Asia to leave with her. At this time, Asia's mind was blank, and her body was trembling with a cold body, walking out of the court like a puppet.

At the time of the Chen Dynasty, the morning court was dispersed, and all civil and military officials retreated to the court to work on their own. Soon, the matter in the court spread among the people. The news that Princess Asia came to Daqin for help quickly aroused heated discussion and discussion among the people.

Regarding the matter of sending troops to avenge and restore the country for Princess Asia of Susa, the people are clearly divided into two factions.

Most people who are merciful or righteous in their hearts all advocate that the Qin Dynasty will send troops directly and use a righteous army to help them go all out and do everything they can. It is the Qin Dynasty’s unshirkable responsibility to destroy and rest in peace and maintain the justice of the Western countries.

There are many other mature, persistent or far-sighted people who understand that if the Qin Dynasty sends troops to the West, it will inevitably be a huge and even tragic war, which will be not worth the cost for the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, there are also many people who oppose the Qin Dynasty's troops to help Asia revenge and restore the country.

The two absolutely opposite arguments have caused huge debate among the people. People can be seen rolling up their sleeves and spitting or even drawing their swords toward each other, and they will not give in to each other to protect their right to speak. There are even many people who support Asia who even ran to the inn to pay homage to this foreign princess who was hit hard in the court, and express their respect for her experience and bravery and fearlessness with spiritual encouragement.

Asia, who was secretly crying and at a loss, was also moved by the enthusiasm of the people of the Qin Dynasty. She met with some famous scholars in the inn and expressed her determination, saying that she would not be afraid of difficulties and hardships, avenge her family, and restore the country to Susa. Even if she had nothing now, she would still not give up. As long as the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty was willing to send troops, she could even join the Qin army and take revenge as an ordinary soldier.

Asia's beauty, determination to revenge, courage and perseverance deeply touched more people in Xianyang. People from all walks of life began to express their own opinions in the Quyuan Miscellaneous House, waving their fists to express their support for Asia, and preparing to write to Emperor Chen Qing to send troops to fight for peace.

After all, the discussion among the people was just a noisy and noisy. The guards, the Ministry of War, the newspaper office, and even the offices of many censors and doctors received memorials from folk people, but these memorials eventually fell into the hands of officials of the three provinces and six ministries, and were just thrown into the pile of old papers.

It is not that we do not pay attention to folk comments, nor that we are disdainful of folk memorials.

Although the Qin Dynasty is currently free of speech, it also allows people to write to the court to propose strategies to govern the country.

However, in such major decisions, the emperor can only make the decisions themselves.

Moreover, the matter has almost set the tone in the court, Emperor Shihuang and the Hou of Qinghe, who believed that this matter was not worth the cost for the Qin Dynasty and the time was not ripe, so civil and military officials would not interfere for the time being, and no matter how lively the folk discussion was, it would be useless.

Around noon, Chen Xu got home from get off work from Secretariat and went home for dinner.

At the dining table, a group of wives, concubines and daughters also surrounded him to discuss the topic lively.

"Husband, my father really rejected Asia's request. So where should she go? Should she send her back to rest?" Ying Shiman, who is also a princess, seems to be most concerned about Asia's identity and experience.

"Your Majesty did not completely refuse this matter, but the time is not ripe and the price is too high. Therefore, Asia will stay in Xianyang for the time being, and His Majesty will never send him back to rest. Moreover, His Majesty had issued a recruitment order a month ago and planned to send troops to the West after the beginning of spring, but it had nothing to do with helping Asia. Now that Li Shun's delegation has returned successfully, I feel that we should persuade His Majesty to take back this order..." Chen Xu frowned slightly while eating.

October Jiang Hu sent him back to report that Li Shun's delegation was missing and Anxi was chasing him. This caused the First Emperor to be furious and ordered the whole country to start collecting food, grass, and armies to train troops, preparing to send troops to teach Anxi. However, at the moment, Li Shun's delegation returned successfully, and brought back more Western news and more detailed information. The plan to arrange the army to conquer Anxi was out of place. Moreover, Chen Xu felt that he was not doing well when he thought about it.

The Qin Dynasty is just overwhelming now and can't stand the tossing at all.

Even if only one hundred thousand soldiers are mobilized, two or three years of people will eat horses and chew them with war damage, it will consume at least hundreds of millions of wealth. If this money is invested in China, it can support the completion of several major engineering projects. If it is used to build ships, it can build a hundred super fleets equipped with full firepower. There is no big problem to release them to conquer the entire West. Therefore, in Chen Xu's view, a large-scale traditional land war can be paused, changing military tactics and strategies, taking advantage of the advantages of the Qin pawns, and adopting more flexible and changeable small-scale and high-frequency guerrilla tactics. The main combat force is the naval division fleet, wherever the ships are strong, the cannons go, and no civilization can resist in this primitive era.

"Husband, Asia is the princess of Susa. I think her identity will actually have a great effect on the conquest of Western countries in the future!" Shui Qingrou reminded her slightly unbearable.

"Well, this is also the reason why Your Majesty did not refuse at once, but you must gain something when you pay. National interests are paramount. How could Your Majesty agree easily!" Chen Xu nodded.

"That means that your Majesty will eventually agree to help Asia!" The three women's eyes lit up at the same time, and they stopped eating and looked at Chen Xu.

"It's hard to say at the moment. According to my guess, Your Majesty did not plan to help her at first, but today, Asia prepared a careful speech to touch His Majesty, which made all the civil and military officials in the court look at him with admiration. His Majesty was a little moved and did not refuse. But I'm afraid that His Majesty will not think about how to deal with Asia's request for a while. I'm not anxious about this matter, and I'll see it later..."

Chen Xu said this and gently tapped the dining table. He reminded him, "What do you care so much about Asia? Your Majesty has his own arrangements for this matter. The food is going to be cold. I have to go to the job after eating. I will have to work hard for a few days recently. By the way, since you are so concerned about national affairs, you have taken the time to go to the Women's College to design a few sets of military uniforms. The First Emperor has approved the memorial to reorganize the military factory and design and make new military uniforms last time. The clothing factory has started to purchase fabrics. I have drawn a few sketches of the new military uniforms in the study. You can find a few imperial guards of different heights to make reasonable improvements to the standards. We must take into account the beauty, comfort, practicality, and trendy. After the samples are made, listen to the opinions and suggestions of the imperial guards after wearing them. This version of military uniform will be equipped with soldiers of the Fourth Battalion of Guanzhong before next year's Cold Food Festival. There may be some other uses at that time!"

"Don't worry, husband, we'll go after lunch, but you'll also care about Princess Asia. She's here from all over the world, she's so lonely and pitiful!" Shui Qingru said to Chen Xu gently.

"Asia has seen this today. All the civil and military officials in the court are swallowing their saliva. It is really a beauty in the world. Are you not afraid that I will be too concerned about it?" Chen Xu nodded jokingly.

"That would be better. My husband hasn't taken a concubine for several years!" Meng Wan spoke suddenly.

Chen Xu:...

"Didn't I just collected four girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter?"

Although I agree with the good tradition of helping my husband find suitable concubines to add children to the family in ancient times, Chen Xu felt that he had enough wives. He was busy every day and could not take care of him. If he married too much, he would naturally neglect some of them, and his family relationship naturally became no longer harmonious. Although people in this era did not seem to care about the idea of ​​concubines, Chen Xu still cared very much. He felt that the family should be harmonious and had to eat neatly every day. Therefore, even if he followed the etiquette of superiority and inferiority in spring, summer, autumn and winter, he did not have a deskmate with Chen Xu and others, but the cost of various meals every day was not much different from that of Ying Shiman and others, and he lived a life that other families had envied.

But even so, it seems that the three wives still feel that the Grand Tutor's Mansion is not lively enough, and they also need to take more concubines and have more children to show the prosperous and lively scene of the family.

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the concubines that my father gave to his husband. I can't count it. You have been married to Caiwei for three years. It is rare among the princes and princes and nobles. The mother of the mother asked about it last time when she entered the palace. And now the mansion is full of daughters. The father seems to have a little complaint, and I blame me for not caring for my husband..." Ying Shiman said with her eyes slightly red, "We can't add children to my husband. You are the Grand Tutor and the Shuangjuan, how can you inherit the family property and the Lord without children? Although you estimate that our family must have seven daughters, after all, children can pass on the family line. How can we ruin the reputation of our husband and the future of the Chen family because of competing for favor. In the past year, our mansion has not even had a daughter!"

"My husband is the Grand Tutor and the Left Prime Minister of the current dynasty. How can he take a concubine be the same as ordinary ministers? First of all, his appearance is natural and national. At least he cannot be ugly than us, and his status is consistent. He must not be casual. Princess Asia is the first choice in terms of status and appearance. Although Wan'er sees her beauty and taste, she still hopes that her husband can marry her!" Meng Wan also spoke a little sadly.

"The most important thing is that once you marry Asia, you will help Susa restore the country in the future, and your children will be the only royal bloodline of Susa. You can inherit the throne of Susa in the future, which will kill two birds with one stone."

Chen Xu looked at his three wives and was amused and laughed, "No wonder you like Asia so much, but don't worry too much about this. This woman is extraordinary. This is also the reason why Your Majesty wants to neglect her. Moreover, the living habits and cultural traditions of the West and the East are very different. It is easy to marry, and it is afraid that the family will be uneasy!"

After hearing what Chen Xu said, the three women's faces immediately changed a little, and then they all bowed their heads and started eating.

After lunch, Chen Xu took a short break and went to the Secretariat to continue working. The three women also took several new Qin military uniforms drawn by Chen Xu to the Women's College as Chen Xu told him.
Chapter completed!
