Chapter 770 Queen Helan's Intentions (3)
"Northern people?" Ye Li paused for a moment and said, "Isn't it the North Country?" There are now two types of people in the North Country, native people from the North Country and the Central Plains who used to regard themselves as the Central Plains. These so-called survivors of the previous dynasty are just the people of the Great Chu who have defected to orthodox people in recent years or taken over by Ren Qining. Ren Qining trusts more people in the Central Plains. If he wants to restore the orthodox tradition of the previous dynasty, the more he has to suppress the people in the North Country, and even in the end he must completely abandon the people in the North Country.
However, his so-called orthodox Central Plains is not worthy of his name and cannot be accepted by the literati of the Central Plains. Unless he is willing to use the northern border as a country name and rule the Central Plains as a foreign race. However, in this way, not only will the resistance he is subject to will be several times or even hundreds of times as original. Even the Central Plains people who were originally loyal to him may turn against him. From the beginning, there were irreconcilable contradictions among the two tribes. So Mr. Qingyun told Ren Qining that he was wrong from the beginning.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Li asked curiously: "Can Queen Holland decide on such a thing?"
Queen Helan raised her head and said proudly: "Since I am here, I will naturally decide. Our northern border is not like you, Central Plains, only locks up your daughter in your boudoir. We can do what men can do. There have been few children in our family, and I have no brothers and sisters. After my father passed away, I should be the leader of the clan. And after my cousin passed away, their clan will be replaced by me or my children according to regulations. But the annoying Central Plains people around Ren Qining control the rights of our northern people. We only want to get back what belongs to us."
Ye Li had considered what to do through Queen Helan, but she didn't expect that the young Queen Helan was such an important person. She was a little surprised for a moment, but she had always been calm and calm, so Queen Helan naturally couldn't see what she was thinking. Ye Li looked at her and said softly: "I heard that the former Queen of the North is also a beautiful woman, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance to meet her."
When Queen Helan mentioned this, her eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "If it weren't for Ren Qining, how could my cousin feel so wronged? My cousin gave up the position of patriarch for him. He guarded her everywhere, so that those women would anger her. She also found an opportunity to kill everyone she trusted. If she hadn't saved him, how could this ungrateful person have been today?"
Looking at Queen Helan's angry look, Ye Li sighed in her heart. With Ren Qining's martial arts and power, how could he be so coincidental in such a place in the North? I'm afraid that the encounter was a conspiracy in itself. However, Ren Qining was willing to pay for his so-called great cause. "Queen, I think you should know. Let my cousin's death..." This was not a secret at all, and Ye Li thought it would be better to make it clear. Otherwise, if she was stabbed in half of the cooperation, she would not feel that she would not want to accept it at all.
Queen Helan said firmly: "I know, my father said that these grievances can be put aside for the time being. We all keep our promises. As long as the princess helps us drive Ren Qining out, we will not go against Prince Ding's Mansion." Ye Li raised her eyebrows and smiled: "If so, what benefits can this concubine get?"
Queen Helan said: "The army of the northern border will all retreat to the original border with the Great Chu. Although you are good at Central Plains, our northern border is not bad. We just want to live our own lives." It's not that the people in the northern border have no ambition at all, but that the development of the people in the northern border has not reached the point where they can carry ambition. Before Ren Qining appeared in the northern border, the northern border lived in tribes. The people in the northern border were also surrounded by fishing and hunting. Not to mention the people in the Central Plains farming, they even had horses and sheep like Beirong.
Yes. The residents are naturally very simple, and Ren Qining has brought too many changes. However, not everyone can accept the earth-shaking changes in less than twenty years. From the occasional fighting between tribes in the past to the current battle with regular Dachu and Mo family soldiers, the people who have suffered the most losses are also the people in the North. People in the North are not all fools. It is almost foreseeable that if this continues, even if one day Ren Qining really unifies the world, the people in the North are probably going to die.
Therefore, they decided to drive Ren Qining and his confidants out and take back their rights to the people of the North. Perhaps one day they will also participate in this battle to compete for the world, but that happened a long time later, definitely not now.
Ye Li was silent for a long time before nodding: "Mr. Holland's proposal made me very moved. If Queen. Holland cooperates sincerely, then I think it's OK."
After returning so readily, Queen Helan was stunned for a moment. In her impression, people in the Central Plains always like to think twice before acting. It is very rare to be as clean as Ye Li. "Can the princess make a decision?" Ye Li smiled, "If I can't sit and make a decision, wouldn't the queen come to me to tell me about this?"
Queen Helan felt a little guilty, "I originally wanted to ask the princess to give me a message to the king. Moreover, I have heard that the princess is very powerful. Maybe the princess can help me convince King Ding, and King Ding may not be willing to cooperate with me. You people in the Central Plains always like women to interfere in these things."
Ye Li smiled and said, "I can really make the decision. But... the queen always wants me to see the sincerity of the northern border? Otherwise, how can this concubine trust the queen?"
Queen Helan nodded, took out a box and put it in front of Ye Li and said, "It contains the holy object of my ancestors in the North. Having it can be exchanged for all the members of the twenty-six tribes in the North to do something for you. As long as it is proposed, all the people in the North will definitely go through fire and water to complete it for you. This is the most noble treasure in our North. It is temporarily handed over to the princess for safekeeping."
Ye Li opened the box and the box was covered with brown patterned animal skin, which looked like the skin of a tiger. There was a short knife on the skin, which looked a bit rough, but many of the marks on it were blurred and round. It was obviously a constant period of time. The material of the short knife was neither iron nor copper, nor was it a jade knife that was usually played with, but it looked like it was made of some stone. Although Ye Li was not superstitious about the binding force of the token, he also knew that some ethnic groups believed in the so-called holy objects.
"Are you not afraid that I will not return it?"
Queen Helan said seriously: "If this is the case, everyone in the North will fight for everything, and the holy objects will be welcomed back. But I believe that neither the Princess nor the Prince Ding are such people."
Ye Li put away the box and nodded, "At the latest tomorrow, I and the prince will definitely give the queen an answer."
Queen Helan then showed a smile and nodded, "thank you, the princess."
