"Could it be that some unlucky person has died for the cover again?"

"This disguise looks very real. I wonder how much money did you spend on it?"

…

The people were talking about it. They didn't believe Qi Yanzhen's words at all. They just thought that everything was just a show! He did it on purpose for them to see!

The officers and soldiers explained for a long time, and although the people believed it on the surface, they were actually looking at it in their hearts: Do I look like a fool? So easy to be fooled?

Having been fooled once, they will never trust Qi Yanzhen again!

At this moment, in the palace, the imperial physician brought medicine to Qi Yanzhen. When he was about to sit up and drink the medicine, he heard the eunuch come to report that there were eight hundred emergency patients.

Qi Yanzhen came in immediately.

After reading the letter, Qi Yanzhen spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted completely.

When Qi Yanzhen woke up again, an hour had passed.

There were many people surrounding his bed, including the empress dowager, concubines...they were all there.

Especially the concubines were crying, which made Qi Yanzhen upset.

He yelled at the concubines:

"I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?

Do you think I'm not dying fast enough?

Get out of here!"

The concubines were frightened and immediately got up and left.

When the Queen Mother saw this, she guessed that something big must have happened!

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!

The Queen Mother did not ask any more questions. She gave a few instructions and then left.

Suddenly, Qi Yanzhen was the only one left in the room!

He calmed down and thought about a solution...

After thinking for a long time, Qi Yanzhen couldn't think of any good countermeasures...

The next morning, Qi Yanzhen told the civil and military officials that two more cities had been lost at the border, and asked the ministers what countermeasures they had.

No civil or military official dared to speak.

Everyone knows about Qi Yanzhen's recent affairs, and of course these ministers also know about it.

The Grand Tutor has been absent from court for several days, using the excuse of being ill...

Everyone can understand the Master’s feelings!

By the way, Qi Yanzhen really made them hopeless. Is such an emperor really worthy of their continued loyalty?

Besides, in the current situation, they were also worried that they might say something wrong and anger Qi Yanzhen, who would then blame all his recent misfortunes on them, the ministers.

It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Qi Yanzhen has always been a petty and suspicious person. With what happened recently, I am afraid that he will bear a grudge and retaliate later.

It would be better for these ministers to speak less!

Qi Yanzhen waited for a long time but saw no one spoke. Anger surged in his heart. None of them could be used at the critical moment. They were all a bunch of trash. However, he did not show it on his face.

Qi Yanzhen looked around at the ministers below and started to call out their names:

"Minister of Revenue, what are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty."

"Tell me what you think!"

"yes……"

…

The morning court session ended without reaching a final conclusion.

Some ministers suggested that the princess marry a foreign prince, while others opposed...

Qi Yanzhen did not express his opinion, he was also hesitant...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and another battle report came from the border. The army of Tianfeng Kingdom occupied another city...
