Chapter 1726 Subduing

The bone union looked around and bent down. The gilded wooden box was locked. He thought to himself, could the prince want to reward something? The treasures of Qin naturally had great attraction to the barbarians. He no longer hesitated, reached out and lifted the lid of the box, saw the things in the box, shouted "ah" and took two steps back.

Everyone was surprised and looked at it, but they saw a head filled with a head. Obviously, to prevent damage to the head, a layer of ice was placed on the edge of the head.

In winter, in order to prevent the hot summer, high-ranking officials will stock some ice cubes deep underground. However, the preservation technology is complicated and the price is not low, which ordinary people cannot enjoy.

Although there are ice cubes to relieve heat, the head has become a little deformed, its face is swollen, and it emits an unpleasant smell. However, everyone can recognize it at a glance. This is the head of Feng Yuanpo, the former glorious governor of Hexi.

The Bone Union, who was born in the barbarians, naturally saw countless heads. However, he thought the box was a treasure, but who knew it was a deformed head, so he was naturally surprised.

"You have seen that Feng Yuanpo's head is here." The prince glanced at everyone and was calm. "This person conspired to rebel and had been killed by the court. Of course you all know him?"

Thinking of the once famous Governor of Hexi, now there is only one head here. The thin and pale prince of Qin in front of him was actually smiling with a faint smile, and a chill of fire suddenly arose on the chiefs.

"I said that I want you to make a choice." The prince said: "The Yi barbarian cavalry came from the north of Mo. Feng Yuanpo said that you were to help the Qin Dynasty quell the rebellion, but I did not hear it with my own ears. Moreover, I also heard that Feng Yuanpo was very harsh to you Yi barbarians. I really want to know whether you were leading the troops to come, were you forced by Feng Yuanpo, or really helped the Qin Dynasty quell the rebellion...!" He raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were cold, "Or, is it something else?"

Seeing that the prince was not good-looking, the Gu Lianna hurriedly said, "Crown Prince... The noble Prince, our barbarians sent troops to help the Qin Dynasty quell the rebellion!"

Seeing this, the other chiefs also said, "I am truly trying to quell the rebellion, and I am truly trying to quell the rebellion!"

The prince smiled gently, "Is this true? I know that you barbarians are honest and not good at lying. Let's do this, I will give you two choices now. If you don't want to get involved in the disputes between Qin, I can let you lead your barbarian cavalry back to Mobei and give gifts... Of course, if you stay, I will be very happy, and I promise you that as long as you barbarians help me to quell the rebellion, I will give you a heavy reward when you destroy the rebels."

The bone union showed hesitation and turned around, and the chiefs immediately gathered together, gurgling, and soon the prince saw that there seemed to be a dispute among the chiefs.

He observed his expression and understood that these chiefs had obviously been divided into two factions. Some of them seemed willing to stay, but half of them seemed to want to lead their troops back to Mobei.

The prince glanced at the Snowflake Empress. Seeing the Prince's gaze, the Snowflake Empress hurried forward and said a few words to the chiefs. Although she was also speaking Yiman's words, her voice was delicate and crisp. The prince did not think that Yiman's words were so ugly.

After the Snowflake Queen said a few words, the Yiman Chief seemed to be asking something. The Snowflake Queen was calm in front of the group of Yiman Chiefs. After a while, most of the chiefs nodded slightly. The Snowflake Queen said a few more words. The Bone Lianna raised his hands and spoke to the group of chiefs. Then he said a few words to the Snowflake Queen, and even pointed at the prince with his fingers.

The Snowflake Empress turned around and looked at the prince, frowned, and looked embarrassed on her pretty face. Her voice became lighter. She frowned and looked at the prince with a few words.

The prince asked lightly: "What are they talking about?" Looking at the Snowflake Empress, it was obviously asking.

The Snowflake Empress hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Crown Prince, they... they said they were willing to help the Qin Dynasty quell the rebellion, but... there is only one condition!"

"Condition?" said the prince: "What conditions?"

The Snowflake Queen opened her mouth, wanted to speak but stopped, but she couldn't speak.

The prince said: "You can say that as long as they sincerely help me, even if the conditions are more harsh, I will not be unable to consider it."

The Snowflake Queen said carefully: "They...they said, since they wanted to be loyal to the Qin Dynasty, why didn't the emperor summon them..."

The prince said: "You can tell them that the father has passed away and that this palace is now the lord of the Great Qin!"

"I...I've told them, but they said...they said...!" The Snowflake Queen seemed a little embarrassed and spoke hesitantly.

The prince frowned and said, "It's okay to say something. Even if you say something wrong, I won't blame you, and there's no need to hesitate."

The Snowflake Empress lowered her head and said softly: "They said that I was the emperor's concubine, but now that the emperor is gone, I am not a noble identity in Qin State... They said that if... if the prince could be with me and become the prince's concubine, they could regain his noble identity. The rebellion of Qin State, that is, the barbarian family affairs, they should do their best...!"

The prince's brows tightly, his bones united with the slightly connected Qin language, and his arms were crossed. "Dignified Prince, our Yi Barbarians are willing to help Qin quell the rebellion. I just hope that you can let Eliza maintain a noble identity, which is also a respect for our Yi Barbarians!"

The prince glanced at Eliza and asked, "What if I don't agree?"

The Gu Lianna said seriously: "The Prince just said that we are allowed to lead the elite troops back to Mobei. If His Highness rejects our conditions, that is, his contempt for our barbarians, we can only choose to leave."

The prince did not know much about the customs of the Yiman people. Once the father dies, in addition to his biological mother, the descendants who inherit the family business can marry their father's other wives for themselves to ensure that they continue to enjoy their original status in the family and ethnic group. On the contrary, wives who cannot be accepted will be looked down upon by everyone, which has become a custom passed down by the Yiman people from generation to generation.

For the Bone Union and many chiefs, since the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty died, the status of the Snowflake Queen has plummeted. The only honor they retained in Qin is Snowflake Queen. If the Snowflake Queen’s status plummeted, it is of course unacceptable for the Yiman. On the contrary, if the prince could store the Snowflake Queen as a harem according to the customs of the Yiman people, and as the new master of the Great Qin Empire, Snowflake Queen would continue to maintain her status in Qin.

The prince naturally did not expect that the Yi barbarians would propose such conditions that were completely incompatible with the ethics of the Central Plains. He frowned and the Snowflake Queen glanced at the prince and said carefully: "Crown Prince, they...!"

The prince raised his hand and said to the bones: "Although the father has passed away, the status of Snowflake in the empire will not be shaken. He is my concubine's mother. According to the ethics of the Central Plains, he cannot be stored. However, I can agree to you that after I ascend the throne, I can appoint Snowflake as the empress dowager of the Qin Dynasty. Is it so that you can be satisfied?"

"If this is the case, then there is another way." Gu Lianna said: "We Yiman still have many beautiful girls. We can choose to send a beautiful girl to Qin. The prince marrys the Yiman girl and gives her a noble identity. We can also continue to serve the prince."

The prince knew that such barbarians were stubborn, and because of the Snowflake Empress, their glory increased greatly. In the past, they would not have such thoughts. However, with the Snowflake Empress, they naturally hoped to continue such glory.

The prince even understood that even if he did not agree to their conditions, under the current situation, he would still become a weapon in his hands. However, this would inevitably lead to these Yi barbarian chiefs' resentment towards him. Forcibly controlling them may be possible for a while, but it is not a long-term plan.

Once the world is really pacified, the barbarians who have made enemies because of this matter will definitely not give up. On the contrary, if they form a good relationship with them at this time, it will naturally be of great benefit to the Qin State in the long run.

The prince was silent for a moment and finally said: "The conditions I promised to you will not only make Snowflake Queen Mother, but also let the Yiman girl you selected enter the palace and become my concubine!"

The barbarian chiefs looked at each other and chatted a few more times. The bones and the arms of the chest were first crossed, and said loudly: "The Slav tribes and the bones and the bones are united, and they made a vow to His Highness the Prince. From now on, the Slav tribe will be loyal to His Highness the noble Prince." The other chiefs also crossed their arms and made a vow to His Highness the Prince.

The prince then smiled.

Now, he comforted the chiefs and rewarded some treasures. After the chiefs were satisfied and retreated, the prince smiled at Empress Snow and said, "For today's matter, thank you for your help. Don't worry, what I promised will not change. After I ascend the throne, I will make you the Queen Mother!"

The Snowflake Empress lowered her head, hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Your Highness, if... if... if you don't dislike it, actually... I am willing to serve you!"

The prince glanced at the Snowflake Empress and said lightly: "Since the Empress is already a member of the Royal Family of the Great Qin, we should figure out the etiquette and laws of the Great Qin, which will definitely be useful to you."

The Snowflake Empress's face became hot and she felt embarrassed. She lowered her head and retreated.

After the Snowflake Empress retreated, the prince whispered: "Come out!"

Behind the screen, a man quickly walked out and bowed, "Your Highness!"

"Xuanwu, Yiman and other chiefs, you have to send someone to continue staring at him." The prince stared at the person in front of him, "There are only you around me now. The God-Clothing Guardian has passed away, you should know!"

"Yes!" Xuanwu Qianhu, who was rescued from the underground prison of the Heavenly Dao Hall, said respectfully.

"The God-in-law in Hexi is all given to you to command." The prince said: "From now on, all actions of the God-in-law will be ordered by our palace in person. Without our palace's orders, the God-in-law should not act rashly!"

Xuanwu said: "The Emperor formed the Divine Uniform Guard and served directly to the Emperor. Now the Emperor has passed away, and the Divine Uniform Guard will serve His Highness the Prince!" He knelt on one knee in front of the prince.

The prince nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have prepared some silver. When you look back, you will reward the brothers in the divine clothes. Tell them that I still trust you and you are still the most loyal yamen in the Qin Dynasty!"

"I thank you for your highness!"

"Xuanwu, I have something to ask you!" The prince leaned forward slightly and his voice lowered: "Do you know about Feng Hanxiao?"

Xuanwu looked up at the prince and asked, "What is your highness referring to?"

"The Battle of Changtian Valley back then." The prince said solemnly: "I ask you, Feng Hanxiao was really killed by Qinglong and the people of Xiliang? Who sent Qinglong to the outside of the pass to kill Feng Hanxiao?"
