The eyeballs of Emperor Dalong, who was lying on the table, moved, and he seemed to be about to wake up. Minister Yang was about to stand up and ask, but he found that his knees seemed to no longer belong to him. His arms and legs were old. After struggling for a long time, he could only sigh heavily and wait silently for Emperor Dalong to wake up on his own.

After a while, when Minister Yang was so bored that he fell asleep, Emperor Dalong finally woke him up.

Emperor Dalong slowly sat up straight, turned his stiff neck, opened his eyes inadvertently and was startled. He was about to ask why Minister Yang appeared in front of him, but then he realized that it was he who ordered someone to summon Minister Yang to meet him.

Emperor Dalong could not help but frown, helpless as his memory was not as good as before.

"Your Majesty, where is the discomfort?"

Emperor Dalong's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his temples felt slightly swollen, but he still waved at Minister Yang.

"It's okay. When did Minister Yang come?"

Minister Yang was slightly startled.

"Your Majesty, I came here at noon."

Hearing this, Emperor Dalong leaned forward to look outside the house. It was still too dark outside to see anything. Upon seeing this, Minister Yang immediately spoke.

"Your Majesty, it is now the evening hour."

Emperor Dalong was shocked when he heard this. He had originally just wanted to take a rest while waiting for Minister Yang to come and see him, but he didn't expect that he slept for almost two hours, and Minister Yang had probably been kneeling in front of him waiting for more than an hour.

In fact, Emperor Dalong did not sleep well at all. Instead, he had constant nightmares. However, he slept so deeply that he could not wake up no matter what.

"Why don't you wake me up?"

"Well, I think it's hard for Your Majesty to get a good night's sleep, so I have the heart to disturb Your Majesty."

Minister Yang was still thinking about himself as usual. Emperor Dalong, who had been sad these days, was now somewhat comforted, and his tone of voice became less irritable.

"No need to do this in the future. Minister Yang, please come over and sit down."

After Emperor Dalong finished speaking, he waved to Minister Yang, who was still kneeling there without moving, and motioned him to sit in front of the desk. However, the latter looked embarrassed and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.

"Your Majesty, I will just sit here..."

No matter how well Minister Yang tried to conceal his appearance, he could not hide the unnatural state of his body. Emperor Dalong also felt helpless. How could this man still be so inflexible on certain things after all these years? However, most of his life had passed, so the two of them didn't care anymore.

Emperor Dalong glanced at Minister Yang, then retracted his gaze, tacitly agreeing to Minister Yang's request. The palace fell into strange silence again. Before, when Emperor Dalong was still asleep, Minister Yang could still tolerate it, but now that he was awake, he still didn't speak. What was the point of calling him here? Wasn't there something important to discuss?

Emperor Dalong actually didn't mean to remain silent, he just kept his head down, thinking about how to talk about this matter with Minister Yang. After all, Minister Yang had suggested to him before that the position of Crown Prince should be reconsidered, but they had a big quarrel without paying attention to the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.

Emperor Dalong vowed at that time that he would never regret it. He believed that Mu Bai must be a potential emperor and the best candidate for the crown prince.

But how should he bring it up now and ask Minister Yang to help him find a way to resolve the issue of the Crown Prince?

"Your Majesty, this is about the Crown Prince."

Minister Yang could roughly guess why Emperor Dalong was so concerned about how to start the conversation and why he couldn't save face, but the matter was urgent, so it was up to Minister Yang himself to give Emperor Dalong a way out.

Emperor Dalong looked at Minister Yang in front of him with some surprise at first, but then he felt that Minister Yang could guess other people's thoughts, even his own thoughts were not surprising at all, as he was very clear about Minister Yang's abilities.

Since Minister Yang had already guessed it, there was nothing for him to hide anymore, so he just went down the stairs.

Emperor Dalong listened to Minister Yang's words, nodded slowly, and spoke helplessly.

"Minister Yang is right. I really summoned you here because of the Crown Prince's matter..."

Minister Yang was indeed one of the few people that Emperor Dalong was willing to trust, so there was nothing to hide from Minister Yang. Mu Bai explained to Minister Yang everything that had happened in recent days, and the latter's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.

It’s not for any other reason, but I just realized that it’s too late for me to have this idea.

In the past, Mu Bai was quite obedient to Emperor Dalong, but that was just an illusion, an illusion he was forced to show because he did not have real military power and greater power. It was only a matter of time before Mu Bai became like this.

Such was Mopper's nature.

Seeing Minister Yang's somewhat solemn expression, Emperor Dalong could not help but sigh. In front of Minister Yang, who was fully focused on making Dalong prosperous, he also completely put down those useless airs. After all, there were only the two of them here.

"I know this matter is not easy to resolve, but please Minister Yang, please think of a solution."

"My health is getting worse day by day. Mu Bo's behavior made me realize that I was wrong after all. I was too stubborn."

"I just hope Minister Yang can still think of a way to save Dalong's future."

Emperor Dalong looked at Minister Yang solemnly, and every word he said hit Minister Yang's heart heavily.

Minister Yang knew very well that Emperor Dalong was a wise ruler. He still remembered how much Emperor Dalong had done for the people of Dalong during his heyday.

At the moment, it is just a matter of one thought, and there is a problem in teaching your children.

It's not that there is no room for redemption.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan that can not only test His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's feelings towards you, but also let you see who is capable of becoming the crown prince."

Minister Yang's words attracted the interest of Emperor Dalong.

"Oh? Minister Yang, please tell us about it?"

After a long period of relaxation, Minister Yang was finally able to move his legs. Just now, he couldn't talk because they were too far away, so he still needed to get closer.

"Your Majesty, may I come forward and speak?"

Originally, Emperor Dalong had no intention of discussing these complicated matters with Minister Yang, but now that he was in the mood, he didn't care and just waved his hand to let him do as he pleased.

Minister Yang uttered an "ah", then stood up and slowly walked to the desk and sat down.

"This method is very simple. All His Majesty needs to do is gather all the princes in the court, and then give them a difficult problem to solve on their own. The one who solves it best will be the best candidate for the crown prince."
