"slow!"
Just as Shen Jinchen took a step to leave the royal tent, Touman stood up and blocked his way.
"Has Your Majesty thought this through?"
Shen Jinchen stopped and asked.
Are you sure we can survive?
Touman still couldn't believe what he had just heard.
“I always keep my word, but I have my conditions. This is your only chance to live.”
Knowing he had convinced the group, Shen Jinchen returned to the head seat and sat down with an air of authority.
"What are your conditions? Why don't you tell me?"
Being able to live and remain the king of the North, he naturally didn't want to die, so he would fight for every glimmer of hope.
"All the tribes in the north must form marriage alliances with the people of the Great Banquet. Every man in every tribe must marry a woman from the Central Plains, and similarly, every woman in every tribe must marry a man from the Central Plains, including you, Great Chanyu!"
"And for the next twenty years, you shall not raise an army!"
"If you agree to all of the above conditions, then you will all be free today."
Shen Jinchen raised his handsome peach blossom eyes and began to state his conditions, word by word.
The only way to resolve the competitive spirit of these small northern countries is through blood fusion, ensuring that all future generations become of Han descent.
Even if they really want to fight, they still have some humanity left.
Otherwise, even if we conquer them by force and kill their leader, the border will still be in chaos a few years later.
"no!"
"no!"
“The Great Chanyu cannot agree to his conditions. If he does, our entire north will no longer be the same north we knew.”
Before the Great Chanyu Touman could even speak after Shen Jinchen finished speaking, his ministers immediately objected.
This is using bloodlines to dissolve their ethnicity, how can this be allowed?
"If you disagree, that's fine too. Anyway, after today, your Di Rong army will be completely annihilated. As for the future Great Chanyu here, I can simply replace him with someone else."
Shen Jinchen glanced contemptuously at the people who were speaking, telling them to face reality.
If it weren't for Yan Tuojue's pleading, he wouldn't have wasted his breath here.
"We swear to protect our bloodline to the death. Do with us as you please!"
Among these people, there were always a few tough guys who glared at Shen Jinchen with resentment, making their stance clear.
"Alright! Bai Ze! Drag these disobedient people out and behead them."
Shen Jinchen hated wasting time talking to people. Since these people wanted to die, he decided to make an example of them.
"yes!"
Bai Ze glanced at the person sitting in the most important position in the royal tent with a complicated expression.
This man's boldness and style of handling affairs are rare throughout history; they are so deeply intertwined that he could come up with such a method.
He's truly a genius; no wonder he can keep their master in check.
Bai Ze couldn't help but admire him.
Soon, the heads of those ministers who had been clamoring for death fell to the ground.
After the bloody head was thrown into the royal tent, those who had initially wanted to show their pride all shrank back and remained silent.
Touman was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground again.
He remained silent for a long time, and seeing that Shen Jinchen was about to leave again, he hurriedly spoke:
“We agree to all your conditions. If we want to merge, then we will merge. From now on, the Di and Rong will be a vassal state of Da Yan, paying tribute and paying homage every year. We will comply with everything. Please spare our lives.”
"As expected, those who have sat on the throne are the best at judging the situation. Let's leave it at that for today. I forgot to tell you something, Great Chanyu: all the soldiers within a hundred miles of your royal court have been wiped out. Afterwards, I will provide you with a personal guard to protect your safety, Great Chanyu."
Shen Jinchen's handsome and sexy thin lips curled into an unreadable smile as he slowly explained his arrangements for the king.
"this…!"
"good…!"
Touman's eyes flashed with resentment, but what could he do? The victor is king, the loser is villain. He was now a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others.
"From now on, your queen and your concubines will all marry Han men. I have seven princesses in my grand banquet, all of whom are of marriageable age and would be perfect to be your queens. Your Majesty, please make preparations for their marriage."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Shen Jinchen took it upon himself to make arrangements for his harem.
"you…!"
Touman was finally enraged. He never expected that the bloodline fusion he spoke of would start with him.
"Not only you, but your son, daughter, and ministers will all receive the same treatment. Don't get agitated! Cooperating is the right thing to do."
Shen Jinchen looked at him coldly, but anyone could tell that it was a threat.
"you…!"
Touman was so angry that he fainted.
"Someone, help your online friends back to rest!"
"Gentlemen, go back and prepare to divorce your wives and marry Han Chinese. A policy requires officials to set an example so that the people below have nothing to say. Do you agree with what I'm saying?"
Shen Jinchen never expected that a mere mention of marriage would frighten the Great Chanyu into fainting.
But he still had to do what needed to be done, so he turned his attention to the ministers below him.
"Yes! We...we will definitely do as Prime Minister Shen says."
The ministers were dejected and looked grim, but they had no choice but to comply with what Shen Jinchen said.
Refusing means death; those people from earlier are the best proof of that, and they don't want to die.
"Good that you know when to back down! That's enough for today, you can leave now."
Shen Jinchen was very satisfied with these people's compromise.
According to his battle strategy, there would be good news for the three armies the next day, so he would wait and see.
Furthermore, a group of people need to be selected to be stationed permanently in Di Rong to stabilize the current situation.
Consider that he still has a lot to do, including dealing with such a large family as the Peng family.
There's really no time to spare right now.
Cen Xi…
He missed her a little, but unfortunately, that woman was always heartless. He was thinking of her, but in the end, she ended up resenting him.
It really is...
That makes absolutely no sense.
Two days have passed, and no one knows where that woman has gone.
The butterfly could not find her, so she must have already taken the jade ring with her again.
Will she return to the Hidden Sect?
Or should we go to Feifeng Mountain?
"The Prime Minister has already left those who were supposed to leave. What should we do next?"
After Bai Ze saw that everyone had left, Shen Jinchen fell into his own thoughts and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Let's set up camp here first! We'll deal with things in the north later."
Shen Jinchen closed his eyes wearily and responded lazily.
"Where has the Princess gone? Why hasn't she replied to my letters?"
Bai Ze felt that the prince consort and the princess must have had a falling out, otherwise he wouldn't have this expression.
"Bai Ze! You've overstepped your bounds. She is my wife. Only I can show her care and concern. You should only fulfill your duties as a subordinate. Do you understand?"
Seeing Bai Ze showing concern for Cen Xi in front of him, Shen Jinchen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Bai Ze with a strange and unpredictable expression.
