Chapter 82

Jing Feng's method is closely related to the formation of the Union Soldiers Talisman.

The Northern Union Soldiers Talisman, engraved on jade, quenched by dripping blood.

A hundred years ago, the Murong family, the king of the Northern Kingdom, established the Allied Forces Talisman to call upon the Northern Region's troops.

Later, the Murong family was destroyed, and the twelve tribes in the north became kings on their own.There are endless wars among the tribes, and the people are in dire straits.Therefore, in order to end the war, the kings of all countries reshaped the alliance talisman.

They carved the totems of various countries on the ancient jade, and begged the descendants of Princess Murong to give blood.The blood penetrated into the jade pattern, quenched for five days and five nights, and formed a new alliance talisman.

The new coalition talisman, like the previous one, can call upon all the troops in the north.It's just that, after the coalition talisman was molded, it was cut into twelve parts, which were kept by the twelve northern countries.

And what each country preserves is the totem of another country.In other words, each country controls the strength and lifeline of another country.

It is also because of this that although the people of the Northland are warlike, they have never had a major battle in the past hundred years.

They are afraid of the power of the coalition talisman, and they are afraid that if they fight together, their own forces will not be controlled, and they will be used by other countries instead, and they will end up subjugated.

However, in this world, there is rarely a system of rights that can last forever.

The North Land Coalition Talisman maintains only superficial peace.However, the hundreds of years of dissatisfaction among the twelve northern countries, because they could not be resolved by war, accumulated over time and turned into grievances.Such grievances are really the biggest drawback of the coalition talisman system.

It is this shortcoming that Jing Feng wants to take advantage of.

"The betrothal gift that the eldest son gave to Miss Xiaotang, is my jade seal from Daying Dynasty?" Bai Gui asked.

Xiaotang of the Shu family nodded: "Well, I put it in the house, does the old man need it?"

Bai Gui pondered.

He passed Jing Feng's entrusted words in his heart again, and turned to Shu Tang, and respectfully gave a big gift: "This old slave begs Princess Murong to give blood, use the jade seal of Da Ying, and make another side of me, Da Ying." The coalition talisman between the North and the Twelve Northern Kingdoms—”

Shu Tang thought for a while, and said: "But, even if I use Daying's jade seal, and another side makes a joint soldier talisman between Daying Dynasty and the Twelve Kingdoms, what should I do if this jade seal is not recognized by the people in the North?"

Bai Guidao: "Miss Xiaotang, have you ever thought that the power of the northern royal family is overwhelming, and you have been living among the people for 21 years. How could they not know your identity and your whereabouts? Since they know, why do you want to do it at this time? The price, to bring you back to the Northland?"

"I..." Shu Tang thought for a while, and said, "Brother Yuwen said that it is because the alliance talisman is the tradition of the Northland. Moreover, the guardian of Princess Murong's lineage of the alliance talisman can only stay in the Northland for generations. Marry someone from the northern royal family. So...so I can't marry someone from Yunguan."

"It's really not possible." Bai Gui said, "But it's not because of any tradition or blood, but because of the eldest son, because the person you married is the prince of my Daying Dynasty and the heir to the throne of the Ying Dynasty. .”

"In other words, Miss Xiaotang, as far as the twelve northern kingdoms are concerned, you can actually marry anyone, except you cannot marry Ying Jingxuan, the eldest prince of Yingchao."

Shu Tang was stunned, and hurriedly said: "But I'm already married to Guanren Yun. No matter what they say, I will only marry Guanren Yun in my life, and I don't want to marry anyone else."

"Yes. But Miss Xiaotang, marrying the eldest prince not only means that you can stay with him as simple as that, but also means the alliance of the two forces. Behind the eldest prince is my Daying's thousands of miles of land, millions of miles. Troop strength. And behind you is the system of the Northern Allied Soldiers Talisman."

"The twelve northern countries love and hate the alliance talisman system. On the one hand, they hope that the alliance talisman will disappear, so that they can conquer each other and vent their grievances."

"But on the other hand, they are soberly aware that if the coalition talisman disappears, once a war is provoked, it will be like a spark igniting a prairie fire. A small battle may cause all twelve countries to be conquered."

"So, with this contradictory feeling, even though they knew you were in Nanjun, they haven't brought you back all these years."

"It wasn't until three years ago that the eldest prince came to Nanjun. Because the power of the Daying Dynasty intervened in the southern coalition talisman, the twelve northern countries became suspicious and wanted to find out the truth. That's why Yu Wentao contacted Du Liang." , with the north-south trading of highland barley. If I'm not mistaken, Shentang wine is also a member of the northern royal family, and secretly appointed you to brew it."

"Speaking of which, three years ago, the eldest prince intervened in the Southern Alliance Bingfu, just because he didn't want the situation in the south to fall into a stalemate during the civil strife in Daying. People from the north reacted like this, but they were thinking too much."

"However, because the people in the north are extremely sensitive to the coalition talisman, even though the eldest prince has not done anything to the coalition talisman, the people in the north still have the idea of ​​taking you back."

"Because of this, Du Liang was afraid that you would be accused of guilt when you returned to the North, so he pushed you out of the scene, and wanted to use the identity of Princess Murong to save your life."

"Unexpectedly, at this time, the First Prince has fallen in love with you. He doesn't want the Southern Alliance Soldiers Talisman to be repaired, and he doesn't want you to regain your identity as Princess Murong and lose your freedom from then on. So in Minghe Pianyuan, He intentionally injured himself seriously, and demanded that Du Liang should be exiled and the system of the Southern Alliance's military talisman be abolished with a reason that could declare war on Nan Jun."

"The royal families of the twelve northern countries really decided to take you back after the eldest prince decided to marry you."

"Miss Xiaotang, if the eldest prince marries you, you can no longer hide your identity. Once you return to Daying Dynasty with him and become the real eldest imperial concubine, it means that from now on, Yingchao will be the real princess." It is possible to interfere with the military strength of the Twelve Northern Countries on the grounds of 'family affairs'."

"The old slave has already said that if there is no coalition talisman, the situation that the twelve northern kingdoms are most afraid of will be the outbreak of war, the twelve kingdoms will fall into conquest, and the people will have no means of living."

"In fact, apart from canceling the coalition talisman, there is another situation that can lead to this situation. It is an external force that appears out of thin air and intervenes in the twelve northern countries."

"Miss Xiaotang, if you marry the eldest prince, then I, Da Yingchao, will become this external force."

"That's why the Twelve Northern Kingdoms will take you back to the Northern Lands before you return to the Ying Dynasty with the First Prince. That's why they said, if the First Prince doesn't return you, then the Twelve Northern Kingdoms will definitely unite their forces. Take the lead in attacking me, Daying Dynasty."

In late autumn, when Jing Feng was still in Yunfu, he said to Bai Gui that since the biggest drawback of the coalition talisman system is that the twelve northern countries are real enemies but not friends, and the relationship between faces and hearts is not compatible, it means that there is no relationship between the twelve northern countries. , there is extreme distrust.

And the consequence of their distrust of each other is that once an external force intervenes, the twelve northern countries may cause military chaos and conquer each other.

This is the deadly point of the Twelve Kingdoms in the north, and it is also the situation that the kings of the Twelve Kingdoms are most willing to see, and also least willing to see.

So at this moment, the twelve countries in the north unite to fight against the Daying Dynasty.Why doesn't Yingchao act deceitfully, and first intervene in the twelve northern countries as an external force, causing them to confuse themselves.

"I understand." Shu Tang said, "Mr. Jing Feng means, let me use the jade seal of the Daying Dynasty to reshape the alliance talisman between the Ying Dynasty and the Twelve Northern Kingdoms. Whether the Twelve Kingdoms bring me back or not, Da Yingchao can intervene in them."

"That's true. Moreover, whether this coalition talisman is convincing or not is secondary. The most important thing is that such a coalition talisman can make the Twelve Northern Kingdoms mess up and can be used to negotiate terms with Yu Wenshuo. And what we want is an opportunity to discuss conditions with Yu Wenshuo and make him retreat."

Shu Tang said: "The old man is saying that the purpose of our forming this coalition talisman is not for war, but to use it to negotiate with Brother Yuwen?"

Bai Gui nodded: "Miss Xiaotang is smart."

Shu Tang said shyly: "No, these days, I have asked sister Axue a lot about the twelve northern countries and the coalition talisman. Sister Axue is very kind, if you encounter someone who doesn't understand, go to Find out and let me know. So once you mention it, old gentleman, I will know something."

"It's just..." Bai Gui took a deep breath, "It's just that reshaping one side's coalition talisman is only the first step. How to negotiate with Yuwenshuo and how to make concessions can only depend on Miss Xiaotang."

Shu Tang was stunned: "But, but I won't argue with others."

Bai Gui was silent for a moment.After a while, he suddenly walked across to Shu Tang, and made a big bow to her.

"Sir?"

"The second prince asked me to do this bow for him. The second prince asked me to speak for Miss Xiaotang. The heavier the burden, the greater the sacrifice. Sometimes, there are some things that really can't be both method. So when necessary, we can only make concessions."

"The Second Prince also said that the First Prince is extremely intelligent, so the First Prince must have guessed this method. It's just that he doesn't want to do it. Therefore, I hope that Miss Xiaotang will finish the matter before the First Prince finds out. The second prince said that he was ashamed of treating Miss Xiaotang this time, and one day, he will definitely come to Nan Jun to personally apologize to Miss Xiaotang."

At dusk and dusk, the winter scenery of the garden is bleak.

Shu Tang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Old man, I understand." She licked the corners of her dry lips, "Actually, this method is the best. These days, Guan Yun has been worrying about , I couldn’t help him. Today I can finally help him. I don’t want to embarrass Guan Yun, and I don’t want to see Daying Dynasty start a war with the Twelve Northern Kingdoms. So, Mr. Jing Feng doesn’t have to apologize to me , but I should thank him. At least I don't have to be separated from my father, and I don't have to go to Maoliang country. It's Guan Yun..."

When Shu Tang said this, he paused slowly.

After a while, she shook her head, and said softly: "Mr., in the future... that is, a long time later, when you return to Daying Dynasty, remember to tell Yunguan that I have saved some money in the past few years. , when Daddy's legs and feet get better, I, I will go to Daying to see him..."

Bai Gui let out a long sigh: "When I first got married with Miss Xiaotang, I felt that she was pure and honest, and her heart was extremely tough. To be honest, Miss Xiaotang's decision today was prompted by the old slave. At this moment, if the old slave apologized, it would be a bit hypocritical. So if Miss Xiaotang has any orders, this old slave will try her best to do so.”

Shu Tang thought for a while, and said: "It's nothing, I just need to bother the old man to prepare a Northern Palace outfit for me. Also... I want to write a letter to Yunguan, but my handwriting is not good-looking. , I have to practice quickly in the past few days. Old man, you go back to Daying Dynasty, and give this letter to Guan Yun."
