Chapter Thirty-Eight: Nan Xuan Sends Troops
Now that the six princes are excluded, there are only two people left, the crown prince and the second prince, but who should they choose? Yang Xin struggled alone for a long time, and finally made a decision--- the second prince, nothing can stand the emperor's liking, as long as the emperor likes it, nothing is a problem, and the second prince is clean and popular, even the prince is not afraid.

Yang Xin guessed the purpose of his coming at this time, but he didn't know what way he could eliminate the second prince from his alternatives, "What is the prince going to say?" ”
"I'm talking about what the county lord is most interested in."
"Isn't there still deliberation in the main hall?"
"No, it's not."
"What's that?"
"Could it be that the county lord is not most interested in the affairs of King Nanming?"
Yang Xin really didn't know that everyone knew that he liked Yang Ming, so he blushed, and at this moment, he squirmed like a little girl, lowered his head and asked gently, "What news does the prince have about King Nanming?" ”
"There's a message?"
Yang Xin instantly raised his head and looked directly at the crown prince Gu Yan, "What?!" ”
Gu Yan sneered, but the words changed, "King Nanming is so blessed, the county lord is so concerned and hardworking!" ”
Yang Xin saw him abusing him again, and he didn't do anything like a little daughter, "It's worth it for me to work for him, but I don't know if the prince is worth it?" ”
Gu Yan sneered again, "Whether this prince is worth it or not depends on the county lord's own judgment, just send a sentence to the county lord: seeing is not believing, just like King Nanming." ”
Yang Xin thought that Gu Yan was just slandering Yang Ming, but after thinking about it, there was no reason, and after thinking about it, he finally understood: Yang Ming was the most liked by Emperor Dongsheng on the surface, but it was just a trick, no one knew about Emperor Dongsheng's favorite prince, Yang Xin thought that it was most likely to be Yang Zheng, after all, he loved the house and Wu, but Yang Zheng has neither a title nor an official position, let alone merits, and Yang Feng is the same, the other princes are still young, and they can't see anything, Emperor Dongsheng's mind is the most difficult to guess, and Emperor Nanxuan has also been the emperor for many years, Is it easy to guess the mind?
Yang Xin's first entry into officialdom is the first time he has a heavy responsibility, but he already feels that people's hearts are complicated, society is sinister, and he feels a sense of powerlessness when he relaxes, and this prince Gu Yan is really a bit impressive, and even Emperor Dongsheng's favorite thing is not Yang Ming's secret thing, it is really not to be underestimated, and sure enough, seeing is not necessarily believing!
In this way, it took another seven or eight days for the matter of Nan Xuan's deliberation to be completed, and Yang Xin was able to summon him, and the hall was still full of people on this day, but they were all ministers in official uniforms, but they were all nervous, as if they couldn't even stand firmly, and the emperor on the high seat seemed to be weaker, and he even had to take a breath after coughing a few times.
Yang Xin came to see him a few days ago and was blocked from the palace, only saying that the emperor was unwell, but he didn't expect it to become like this, although the situation was not optimistic when he negotiated with himself more than ten days ago, but it was not like half a leg into the coffin, and his condition deteriorated so badly.
Yang thought that something big must have happened again, but he didn't know what it was.
"Is it still customary for the Dongsheng envoy to live in the palace?"
"Xi is not used to it, but secondly, I Dongsheng is in dire straits, no matter how superior the conditions are, I can't lie in peace."
"Today you have been summoned to formally discuss the matter of sending troops."
"The emperor only said that the result is."
"There's no hurry, but there's still something to discuss with the messenger."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Of course, our court can send troops, but the person who leads the troops is not easy to decide", the emperor reluctantly only said that he needed to rest for a while, and when he said it, he could only say one word at a time, "The prince is astute, but he is the prince, it is not good to lead the troops directly, my sixth son is slightly ill, and he cannot be sent, and the rest of the princes are all young and cannot be sent", he coughed twice, "Only my second son is quite familiar with the war, and I intend to let the second son go, but the ministers are mostly interested in the prince", so he coughed twice, "What do the envoys think?" ”
Dongsheng has been discussing for a long time but this is the result, in the end, he still has the opinion of an outsider, although he doesn't have to open his mouth to recommend it to the emperor, but this kind of efficiency still makes Yang Xin want to vomit blood, "It is said that this is the matter of Nanxuan's own country, but since the emperor asked, the lord of this county will say it directly." Although the second prince broke through the war, but after all, he is the prince, just to boost the morale of the army, it is far from the crown prince, if your country is willing to help 500,000 soldiers, the second prince can go, but if it is less than 500,000, it is natural that the prince can hope to win. ”
When Yang Xin's words came out, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty took a deep breath, this collection of history is so big, as soon as it is exported, it is 500,000, thinking that the total number of troops in the south is less than 300,000, how can there be 500,000 to send, but the most angry is the second prince Gu Shan, "You envoy is so rampant, no one in your eyes, and you actually speak such wild words in the palace?!" ”
Yang Xin glared back, "Kyoyan? The emperor asked about the suggestion of the county lord, and the county lord said this, if your country does not have 500,000 troops, send less, how can the county lord be arrogant? ”
"You, you ・・・・・・"
Gu Shan's two words are no longer refuted and straightforward, and people have not said it full, and it is reasonable, how else can they refute it? And Emperor Nan Xuan didn't seem to feel this rampant words, and his tone was still calm, "The envoy doesn't know, my Nan Xuan army is only 200,000 in total, cough cough, there are still some naval troops that cannot be sent, and then remove some old, weak, sick and disabled, and soldiers who are not satisfied with the water and soil, and it will be 100,000 to be sent when they are full", and took a deep breath, "It's not that I Nan Xuan doesn't want to help, but the troops are really insufficient, if the envoy thinks it's okay, he will send the prince to lead 100,000 troops to help Dongsheng, what does the envoy think?" ”
Well, the emperor said that there were 100,000 left of the 300,000 almost army, and Yang Xin could only try his best to fight, "Even if you send troops, you should be foolproof, so that you can win, otherwise not only Dongsheng and Nanxuan will also have endless troubles." ”
"I know it, but these 100,000 are already the limit, and even if I have the heart, I am no longer powerless."
"Then you can only be wronged by the prince Gan as a deputy general, and 100,000 troops cannot control the overall situation."
As soon as these words came out of the hall, it boiled again, and the prince of a dignified country took the risk of leading troops, and he had to succumb to the deputy general, how could he bear it, a courtier spoke, "How can I be a deputy general?" ”
Yang Xin was also anxious this time, took a few steps forward, turned around and looked at the courtiers one by one before saying, "I believe that everyone present understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth, if I am defeated in Dongsheng, the next one is you Nanxuan, at such a critical moment of survival, your country does not say that you will send troops in time and take precautions, but you are still entangled in such trivial matters. ”
"You, you messenger full of nonsense, you ・・・・・・"
The courtiers were also so angry that they couldn't say anything, but Emperor Nanxuan's originally chaotic eyes suddenly became bright, and he looked at Yang Xin, "The truth of the county lord, the monarch of your country has made it clear, and I, Nanxuan, am not all cowardly and incompetent, since I should send troops, I will not delay", and coughed twice, "Spread my will, order the crown prince Gu Yan to worship the general, and lead an army of 100,000 to immediately send troops to support Dongsheng." ”
The courtiers couldn't, stopped talking, and knelt on the ground, "The emperor is sage!" ”
Only Yang Xin stood and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”
