The ministers glanced at the Emperor, then at Yan Huisheng, and then at the old Duke. All fell silent.
Grand Tutor Qin had naturally learned about this matter from Yan Huisheng early on and he agreed with it, saying, "Since Daliang has formed an alliance with the Nanchu Princess, mutual assistance should be expected. Daliang will lend three hundred thousand troops to Nanchu to help the princess seize the throne. When the princess comes into power, she will join forces with Daliang to fend off Dawei. This is a win-win situation. However, troops and horses are valuable assets. If we lend them out, they should naturally be returned. How about we listen to the princess' plan on how long she intends to borrow them before we discuss how to formulate the agreement?"
Hearing these words, everyone agreed and all eyes turned to Su Rong.
Su Rong laughed and said, "I plan to borrow them until the day we go to war with Dawei."
