The bone joint looked left and right, bent down, this gilded wooden box was not locked, he thought in his heart, is this prince going to reward something, the treasures of the Qin State naturally have a great attraction to the barbarians, he no longer hesitated, reached out and lifted the lid of the box, saw the things in the box, "ah" screamed, and took two steps back.

Everyone was surprised, and when they looked out, they saw that the box contained a head, apparently to prevent damage to the skull, and a layer of ice was placed on the edge of the skull.

In the winter season, in order to prevent the summer heat, the dignitaries will also stock some ice cubes in the depths of the ground, but the preservation of the craft is more complicated, and the price is not low, and ordinary people can't enjoy it at all.

Although there are ice cubes to dispel the heat, this head has been somewhat deformed, its face is swollen, and it exudes a bad smell, but everyone can recognize it at a glance, this is the head of Feng Yuanpo, the once beautiful governor of Hexi.

The Bone Union was born in a barbarian background, so he had naturally seen countless heads, but he thought that this box was a treasure, but who knew that it was a deformed head, so he was naturally taken aback.

"You have already seen that Feng Yuanpo's head is here." The crown prince glanced at everyone and calmed down, "This person has conspired to rebel and has been killed by the imperial court, so naturally you all know him?" ”

Thinking of the once famous governor of Hexi, now there is only one head here, and the prince of Qin who looks thin and pale in front of him is actually with a faint smile, a chill of fire suddenly rises on the chiefs.

"This palace said that I want you to make a choice." The prince said: "The barbarian cavalry came from Mobei, I heard Feng Yuanpo say, you are here to help Daqin quell the rebellion, but the palace did not hear it with my own ears, and the palace also heard that Feng Yuanpo is very harsh to you barbarians, and the palace wants to know very much, you led the troops to come, whether you were forced by Feng Yuanpo, or really helped me ...... Daqin to quell the rebellion!" He raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a cold light, "Or, is there something else?" ”

Seeing that the prince's expression was not good, the bone union hurriedly said, "The prince...... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we sent troops to the barbarians because we sincerely wanted to help Great Qin quell the rebellion! ”

Seeing this, the other chiefs also said: "Sincerely suppress the rebellion, sincerely suppress the rebellion!" ”

The crown prince smiled gently, "Is that really the case? I know that you barbarians are honest and not good at lying. If you don't want to get involved in the disputes of the Qin State, this palace can let you lead the barbarian elite cavalry under your command back to Mobei, and will also give gifts...... Of course, if you stay, this palace will be very happy, and this palace promises you that as long as you barbarians do your best to help this palace put down the rebellion, and when you destroy the rebels, this palace will give you a heavy reward. ”

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

He already understood that these chieftains had clearly divided into two factions, and some seemed to be willing to stay, but half of the chieftains seemed to want to lead their troops back to Mobei.

The prince glanced at the snowflake lady, and the snowflake lady saw the prince's gaze, hurriedly stepped forward and said a few words to those chiefs, although she also said barbarian words, but her voice was delicate and crisp, and the prince listened to it in his ears, but he didn't think that barbarian words were so ugly.

Snow Lady said a few words, then there was a barbarian chief seemed to be asking something, Snow Lady in front of this group of barbarian chiefs, but calm, a moment later, all the chiefs nodded slightly, Snow Lady said a few more words, the bone union also raised his hands, to the group of chiefs for a while, and then said a few words to the Snow Lady, and even pointed at the prince with his finger.

Snow Lady glanced back at the prince, frowned, her pretty face showed embarrassment, her voice was softer, the bone union frowned, and said a few words, looking at the prince.

The prince asked lightly, "What are they talking about?" Looking at Snowflake Niang, she was obviously asking.

Xuehua Niangniang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Prince, they ...... They said they were willing to help Great Qin put down the rebellion, but ...... There is one condition though! ”

"Conditions?" The prince said: "What conditions?" ”

Snowflake opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but she couldn't speak.

The prince said: "You can say that as long as they sincerely help this palace, even if the conditions are harsh, this palace is not impossible to consider." ”

Snowflake Niang said cautiously: "They ...... They said that since they wanted to make them loyal to Great Qin, why didn't the Holy Lord summon them ......! ”

The crown prince said: "You can sue them, my father has died, and this palace is now the lord of Great Qin!" ”

"I ...... I have sued them, but they say...... They said......! Snowflake Lady seemed to be a little embarrassed, and she spoke hesitantly.

The prince frowned and said: "If you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, even if you say it wrong, this palace will not blame, you don't have to spit it out." ”

Xuehua Niangniang lowered her head and said softly: "They said that the concubine was originally the emperor's concubine, but now that the emperor is gone, the concubine ...... Concubines are not noble in the Qin State...... They say that if ...... If the crown prince can let his concubines serve on his side and become the prince's concubine, he can regain his noble status, and the rebellion of the Qin State, that is, the family affairs of the barbarians, they should do their best to ......! ”

The crown prince's brows tightened, and he was slightly familiar with Qin language, and his arms were on his chest, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we are willing to help the Qin State to quell the chaos, I just hope that you can let Eliza maintain her noble status, which is also the respect for our barbarians!" ”

The crown prince glanced at Eliza and asked, "What if the palace doesn't agree?" ”

The Bone Union said: "The prince just said that we are allowed to lead the elite soldiers back to Mobei, if His Royal Highness the prince refuses our conditions, which is contempt for our barbarians, we can only choose to leave." ”

The crown prince did not know much about the customs of the barbarians, and the customs of the barbarians were that once the father died, in addition to the biological mother, the heirs who inherited the family business could marry the father's other wives as their own, so as to ensure that they continued to enjoy their original status in the family and the group, but the wives who could not be accepted would be looked down upon by everyone, which also became a custom passed down from generation to generation by the barbarians.

For the bone union and many chiefs, since the emperor of Great Qin is dead, then the status of the Snow Lady is plummeting, and the only honor they have in the Qin State is only the Snow Niangniang, if the status of the Snow Lady has plummeted, it is of course unacceptable for the Yi Man, but if the prince can follow the customs of the Yi Barbarians, the Snow Niang Niang will be accepted as a harem, as the new master of the Great Qin Empire, the Snow Niang Niang will continue to maintain her status in the Qin State.

The prince naturally didn't expect that the barbarians would put forward such a condition that was completely inconsistent with the Central Plains Code of Ethics, his brows were locked, and the snowflake lady secretly glanced at the prince, and said cautiously: "Prince, they ......!" ”

The prince raised his hand and said to the bone union: "Although the father and the emperor died, but the status of the snowflake lady in the empire will not be shaken, he is the concubine of the palace, according to the Central Plains Lunchang, it cannot be accommodated, but the palace can promise you, after the palace ascends the throne, you can canonize the snowflake lady as the queen mother of Daqin, so you are satisfied?" ”

"If that's the case, then there's another way." Bone Union said: "We still have many beautiful girls in Yiman, we can choose to send a beautiful girl to come to Qin, the prince marries the girl of Yiman, gives her a noble status, and we can also continue to serve the prince." ”

The prince knew that such a barbarian had a tendon, because of the Snow Lady, their glory was greatly increased, in the past, they would not have this mind, but with the Snow Lady, they naturally wanted to continue this glory.

The crown prince even understood that even if he did not agree to their conditions, with the current form, he controlled this group of chiefs, and the barbarian cavalry would still become a sharp weapon in his hands, but in this way, it would inevitably lead to the resentment of these barbarian chieftains against him, and forcibly control them, which may be temporary, but not a long-term solution.

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

The prince was silent for a moment, and finally said: "This palace has promised you conditions, not only will Xuehua Niangniang become the queen mother, but also this palace can let the barbarian girl you selected enter the palace and become the concubine of this palace!" ”

The barbarian chieftains looked at each other, and after a few more words, the bone union took the lead in his cross-arm on his chest, and said in a loud voice: "The Slavic clan bone union na, make an oath to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and from now on, the Slavic tribe will be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The other chiefs also crossed their arms and made an oath to the prince.

Only then did the prince smile.

At the moment, he comforted the chiefs, and rewarded some treasures, and after the chiefs were satisfied and retreated, the prince smiled to the snowflake Niangniang: "Today's matter, thank you for your help, you can rest assured, the things promised by the palace will not change, and after the palace ascends the throne, you will become the queen mother!" ”

Xuehua Niangniang lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before she said softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you ...... If you don't dislike it, in fact...... In fact, the concubines are very willing to serve you! ”

The prince glanced at Xuehua Niangniang and said lightly: "Since Niangniang is already a member of the Great Qin Imperial Family, you should figure out the etiquette system of Great Qin, it will definitely be useful to you." ”

Snowflake Niang's face was hot, and she was embarrassed, and she lowered her head and retreated.

After the snowflake lady retreated, the prince said softly: "Come out!" ”

Behind the screen, a person walked out quickly and arched his hand: "Your Highness! ”

"Xuanwu, this group of chiefs, you have to send people to keep an eye on it." The crown prince stared at the person in front of him, "The four thousand households of the divine clothes, now you are the only one by the side of the palace, and the Divine Clothes Guard has passed away, you should be clear!" ”

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

"The gods and guards of Hexi will be handed over to you to command." The prince said: "From now on, all the actions of the Shenyi Guard will be ordered by the palace himself, and without the order of the palace, the Shenyi Guard cannot act rashly!" ”

Xuanwu said: "When the Holy Lord formed the Divine Guard, he directly served the Saint, and now that the Holy Lord has died, the Divine Guard will serve His Royal Highness the Prince!" He fell on one knee before the prince.

The crown prince bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "This palace has prepared some silver taels, and you will reward them to the brothers in Shenyi when you go back, tell them, this palace still trusts you, and you are still the most loyal yamen in Great Qin!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Xuanwu, there is something in this palace, I want to ask you!" The prince leaned forward slightly, and his voice was lowered: "Do you know anything about Feng Hanxiao?" ”

Xuanwu looked up at the crown prince and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"The Battle of Changtian Valley that year." The prince said solemnly: "This palace asks you, Feng Hanxiao was really killed by Qinglong and the people of Xiliang?" Who sent Qinglong to kill Feng Hanxiao outside the gate? ”
