Chapter 1449 Not easy to surrender
Marquis, did you also invite Princess Asia?"
In the silence, Sun Shujiu stood up hesitantly, and the gossip fire seemed to be burning in his eyes.
Chen Xu stood up and rolled his eyes in anger and said, "I'll invite you to dinner. You came early in the morning. Why don't you ask for it if you don't?"
Many guests blushed in an instant, and of course many pretended not to hear it. They turned their heads and looked around and said, "The chess and the chess players played cards and the chess players played cards, and the atmosphere in the living room became lively and lively again."
"Everyone sit down, I will go and greet you!"
Chen Xu sorted out his clothes and brought a group of servants to the gate of the other courtyard again. Sure enough, he saw Asia had got off the car, wearing a long skirt and applying thin powder on her face, and her eyebrows were slim in shape. Every move was full of incomparable charm. At this time, she was talking to the old housekeeper with three inseparable maids.
Seeing Chen Xu strode, Asia and the three maids quickly bent down and greeted: "Asia came uninvited, and I would like to forgive me!"
Chen Xu looked at this beautiful woman with a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and said with a warm smile on her face: "Princess Asia can come, so that the mansion will shine brightly. It's windy outside. Please in the living room!"
"Please, Master!" Asia bowed again and followed Chen Xu to the living room with three maids.
After coming to Xianyang for a while, Asia had gradually adapted to the prosperity of Xianyang and the Qin Dynasty. Although the emperor did not agree to her request, she still ordered the Ministry of Rites to place her according to the treatment of princes and princesses. Therefore, everything was imitated by the royal princesses. In addition, the Qin Dynasty is not short of money at the moment, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are the best items in the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, silk, satin, glass, porcelain, soap, etc. are not stingy.
Asia and the three maids were wearing dresses tailor-made by the Shaofu Weaving, which were both fit and simple. It was the latest trendy style that the current noble women in the Qin Dynasty liked the most. In addition, Asia's slim figure and beautiful appearance, so when Chen Xu accompanied Asia into the living room, the lively living room instantly quieted again. Almost everyone's eyes fell on Asia. There were a lot of swallowing saliva in the quietness, and there were even many eyes scanning Chen Xu and Asia back and forth, and the scene became a little weird for a moment.
Chen Xu also knows a little about the strange reasons.
As Li Shun's mission to the West spread more and more widely, some inside stories became clearer. Although the First Emperor did not refuse, he did not agree. It has been almost a month since the woman came to Daqin to ask for troops to conquer and restore Susa's country.
Now as the news spreads, the people of Daqin have had huge differences in the discussions of helping Asia and not helping Asia. They sympathize and radicals support Asia. Many people gather outside the inn and shout slogans to support Asia. These people are composed of disciples and rangers of the family, while others do not agree to send troops, believing that the Qin Dynasty's helping Asia is not worth the loss and is of no benefit to Daqin. These people are composed of officials and gentry.
But no matter which sect holds, it shows a great sense of vanity and pride for Asia's arrival. That is, the Qin Dynasty is no longer the former Chinese princes, but has grown into a superpower with an influence of tens of thousands of miles away.
In order to achieve her own goals, Asia gradually became familiar with Xianyang's enthusiasm and opening up, she began to use her relationships to visit many princes, princes, ministers and important officials in the court, hoping that they could help him write to the First Emperor, but these requests were rejected without exception. During this period, Asia also visited the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion three times, but Chen Xu did not meet her. She just asked her three wives to have a good hospitality and chat for a long time, and gave some perfume and silk and other gifts before leaving. After hitting a wall, Asia slowly calmed down recently.
But today Chen Xu treats a meal, and Asia suddenly comes with the excuse of attending a banquet. Chen Xu has no reason to refuse. After all, he is a dignified princess of a country. He can't drive the guests back and not give them food. If the matter spreads, I'm afraid that the Hou Qinghe will lose a lot of fans among the people.
"Take Princess Asia to the backyard and ask the three marquises to take good care of them!" Because there were too many people, Chen Xu asked the maid to take Asia away without saying a few words to Asia.
Asia's sudden arrival suddenly made all the guests feel a little strange, and the look of Chen Xu looked at him was a little wrong.
Because there are people talking about it in private, and I heard that Asia said that as long as someone is willing to help persuade His Majesty the First Emperor to send troops to attack Anxue, Asia is willing to pay all the price.
For Susa, who had long been destroyed, Asia was poor and deserted, and her greatest wealth was her youthful body and her beautiful appearance.
All the guests knew the purpose of Asia's arrival, which was to ask the Marquis of Qinghe to come forward and help plead with the First Emperor.
The only person who can convince the First Emperor to send troops to fight for peace and help her restore the country is Qinghe Hou.
If the Qinghe Marquis succeeds, Asia's only way to repay is to promise her.
The Queen of Qinghe already has three real wives, and this is the only one in the world. It is no longer possible for the Ming Dynasty to marry a wife. So the princess of a country will be stumped to be a concubine in the end?
Because of this incident, there are many erotic versions circulating among the people, which are the peach-colored stories that Qinghehou and the princess of Susa have to do.
"Brother, who is that foreign woman just now? I've never seen her before..."
Shortly after Asia left, Han Xin, who was hurried out of the backyard, mysteriously pulled Chen Xu into the corner and asked excitedly.
"Princess Asia, Susa!" Chen Xu said with a bitter face.
"So it's her!" Han Xin suddenly realized.
Chen Xu's heart moved and smiled: "What? Are you interested in her?"
Han Xin immediately shook his head: "Beautiful is beautiful, but it is not the type I like, and my brother should be careful. This girl is afraid that it will not be easy to surrender. If she marryes her, she may be uneasy!"
Chen Xu looked at Han Xin in surprise and said, "You can see clearly that this woman is indeed not like my Central Plains woman. She has a firm and courageous personality and is meticulous. She is indeed not easy to surrender. However, I have no intention of marrying her at all. It's just that the world likes this kind of speculation that storms the country. This woman is eager to restore the country and will not plan to stay in Daqin, and I will not touch her even more!"
"It turns out that brother has seen it clearly, so I feel relieved!" Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xu patted Han Xin's shoulder with a giggle and said, "Don't worry about me. Although my brother is only two years older than you, he has four wives and concubines. You are already twenty-one this year and should have started a family long time ago. As the saying goes, starting a family and starting a career. You are running around like this, your aunt and father are also worried. Asia's status is not bad, she is worthy of you and her appearance is also beautiful. You can indeed think about it carefully!"
"Brother, don't mention this. I still like women in the Central Plains. If I can meet a woman who is as gentle, beautiful, well-educated as a few sisters-in-law, I will be content. Besides, I have read the matter of Li Shun's mission in the newspaper and have heard some rumors about Asia. She wants to ask His Majesty to send troops to avenge her and help her restore the country. I am afraid that there are many difficulties. Brother, it is best not to get involved in her affairs. It will be a big trouble to stick to it!"
"How did you make this judgment?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.
"One is that the price is too high and the gain is not worth the loss. Secondly, the identity and practice of this woman made His Majesty dislike him. This is a disobedience to the morality of my Daqin. Although Your Majesty did not refuse his request, he would not agree. There is a lot of debate about this matter. We have also argued in Langya. President Cao and many people expressed that they did not support the Daqin army. Moreover, even my brother was afraid that he would not support it. Otherwise, this matter would have been delayed until now. And I heard that my brother had refused to see her several times..."
"You have inquired clearly, but your judgment is indeed correct. Your Majesty and many important officials do not support sending troops for an inexplicable woman, but this does not mean that I do not support me. The reason why I reject Asia for my brother is because the time is not yet ripe, and this woman is determined and brave. The Qin Dynasty devotes its efforts to fight for peace and help him restore the country. It must obey the Qin Dynasty. In the future, Susa must be the most docile vassal state of the Qin Dynasty, rather than cultivating a white man who turns against him afterwards.
Eyed wolf, if Asia doesn't understand this, if she tries to use her pretended weakness and beautiful appearance to confuse His Majesty and the cultural relics of the court, she will probably not get anything in the end. Compared to me, His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the court are all a group of people who came out of the battles of the princes. They can see clearly at a glance about war and interests. His Majesty can be angry and aroused the revenge of Li Shun's delegation, but she will never fight a life-and-death war for a woman..."
Speaking of this, Chen Xu stopped, pinched his chin and pondered for a moment before continuing: "If Asia wants to succeed, she must lower her attitude and impress His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the court with the future attitude of Susa and sufficient interests. Perhaps there will be some chance. Moreover, the Qin Dynasty does not require a large army to dispatch labor troops to expedition, and there are more convenient and quick methods!"
"Brother, are you talking about the Sea Division Fleet?" Han Xin woke up and showed a look of surprise on his face.
Chen Xu looked back at the cheerful and lively situation of the guests in the room, and found that Fusu, who was watching chess, was constantly watching him, so he waved his hand and said, "There are too many people today. I will talk to you slowly later. If you are willing to do this, you will definitely gain a lot. You can help greet the guests first!"
"Yes, I'll leave!" Han Xin respectfully bowed and left to greet the guests.
Chen Xu shook his head and turned to find Fusu. It was obvious that Fusu came uninvited today and had an ulterior motive secret like Asia.
Chen Xu also felt that he really wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Fusu about what to do next year.
