Capital City.
Inside Longevity Palace.
All the senior officials had arrived at court, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Due to the delay in news from the war in Ming State, the Emperor was preparing to lead the expedition himself.
"Your Majesty, please consider carefully!"
Yan Liang and others knelt and pleaded, "You possess the body of a True Dragon, the sovereign of our nation, how can you lightly go to war!"
"Indeed, Your Majesty."
Minister of War, Gao Bo, emphatically said, "Your Majesty is the stabilizer of our Great Sheng Dynasty, and should not be moved lightly unless absolutely necessary."
"Father Emperor, your son is willing to go!"
The gray-haired Regent Crown Prince, leaning on a cane, slowly made his way into the hall, set down his cane, and knelt gently: "Father Emperor, allow your son to lead the expedition!"
"Rise first."
