When the Prime Minister Chen Yan saw the emperor's gaze directed towards the cabinet, he stepped out and said, "I think we can give it a try!"
As soon as he spoke, other officials followed suit, and they all thought it was worth a try. However, Jiang Dejing, who was noticed by Emperor Chongzhen, did not speak.
