The court discussed this matter for an hour without reaching a conclusion.
At this moment, Jiang Congzhi felt the time was right. "Imperial Uncle, I am willing to go to the Yellow River to give it a try. Please grant me permission!"
"Oh? Young Master, do you have any insightful opinions?" The Emperor was pleased to see that someone had finally stepped forward.
