The Minister of War had already been paralyzed. When he saw the play had reached this point, he immediately began to cover his face and cry, shouting that he had something important to report!

In the past, when it came to this point, the soldiers pretended not to hear anything. But today, after the Minister of War shouted a few times, the soldiers whispered to each other, and suddenly sent out a man who walked up to the Minister of War with an apologetic look on his face.

"Sir, today is already the fifth day since you came here. The brothers also know that you must have something to report concerning the country."

"But we have an order from above. Please don't make things difficult for us. Otherwise, please write down the urgent matters and we will send the contents to the palace for you! What do you think?"

These soldiers spoke sincerely.

The Minister of War had just shouted until his mouth was dry, and when he saw that the soldiers' attitudes had softened, he thought it was the result of his hard work over the past few days.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the content is sent in or not. The main thing is that the Minister of War wants to let the people know that the situation in the palace is unclear and the government is controlled by Zhao Ji.

Want to ruin Zhao Ji's reputation.

Moreover, the Minister of War was also very clear that Zhao Ji might not read the things he sent in, and even if Zhao Ji read them, he might not approve them, and it was impossible for him to be allowed in.

So if the time comes and these people see that Zhao Ji has rejected them again, wouldn't that be a better way to ruin Zhao Ji's reputation?

Thinking of the several large boxes of gold and gold, silver and jewelry sent by the prime minister from his mansion, the Minister of War felt full of energy.

In fact, every time the Minister of War came to Nangong Gate to make trouble in the past few days, the Prime Minister would secretly send someone to deliver a box of gold, silver and jewelry to the Minister of War at night.

That's why the Minister of War is so energetic every day. He is already fifty years old, but he still insists on coming every day.

So when the Minister of War heard what the soldiers said, he first acted hesitant, and then asked someone in his mansion to bring him paper and pen.

He wrote a letter in full view of everyone, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the soldier guarding the palace gate.

"I'd like to trouble you to pass the message inside!" The Minister of War pretended to be kind.

The soldiers also acted grateful and sent someone to trot into the palace gate.

Several others began to gather around the Minister of War.

"Sir, we have already delivered the letter. Why don't you go back to the mansion and wait for the result?"

The soldier did not hesitate to speak in a loud voice.

The Minister of War also raised his voice deliberately so that the people watching behind him could hear him.

"How can this be possible? Although you have delivered the letter, I am really anxious about this matter! I will wait for your reply here! If there is any news in the palace, let me know as soon as possible! I will wait here!"

Things had come to this point, and the soldiers had no way to persuade them any further. They could only sigh with regret.

"Then you, Lord Shangshu, please wait here for a while!"

I didn’t expect that this wait would last an hour.

The Minister of War could have stood here, looking at the situation at the palace gate, with an anxious waiting attitude.

But unexpectedly, an hour passed and no news came.

During this period, the Minister of War gradually became unable to stand. After all, he was old, and standing outside in such an environment for an hour made his back and waist ache. Moreover, because there were so many people watching him outside the palace gate, he could only pace back and forth.

After an hour and a half, the crowd of onlookers had changed by seven or eight groups. During this time, the Minister of War wanted to howl a few words like he did before.

But every time before he could open his mouth, the soldiers at the palace gate shouted to the Minister of War: "Don't worry, sir, your message has just been delivered, you need to wait a little longer!"

As soon as these words were shouted out, the people watching immediately knew what was going on, and the Minister of War naturally could no longer howl like before.

Two hours passed, and now the sun was high in the sky. The Minister of War's face was covered with sweat, and he wanted to leave.

After all, he is so old and has been standing for a whole morning. Now that the sun is out, if he continues standing, the Minister of War is afraid that he will get heatstroke.

As soon as he raised his foot, the soldiers guarding the palace gate shouted frantically: "Sir, why don't you wait a little longer? Your urgent message has been delivered to the palace. Why don't you wait a little longer? Maybe there will be a reply soon!"

Such a loud noise, made by the soldiers shouting together, was simply deafening.

After these words came out, the Minister of War didn't dare to leave at all. If he left, these soldiers would definitely put the blame on him for the matter which was not that important.

If he didn't leave, he would have been waiting outside the palace gate for two hours.

To be honest, the Minister of War is now in a state of trembling, his feet are sore, not to mention the scorching sun above his head, which makes it difficult for him to open his eyes.

It’s really uncomfortable!

For the first time, the Minister of War felt that gold, silver and treasures were not easy to earn.

In this way, the Minister of War endured for another hour, and by this time the sun had already moved to the west.

But the palace was completely silent, with no news at all.

Every time the Minister of War wanted to leave, the group of guards would make a fuss, but if he didn't leave, the Minister of War felt that he really couldn't move anymore.

The Minister of War, who was dizzy from the sun, had no idea what he was thinking. He actually asked the people in the palace to bring him a chair and sat in front of the palace gate to rest.

He sat down with his legs spread out, panting like a dog. The servant next to him immediately brought him some tea.

He even brought some sweat towels and stood by to wipe the sweat off the heads of those who were submitting petitions to the Ministry of War.

The common people were still pointing and talking, and there were even some nosy people, the street urchins, who had been eating melon seeds and watching all day, and they knew the whole story.

If there are ordinary people nearby who don't know right from wrong, these street urchins will even tell them what happened before.

This is exactly the effect that the Minister of War and the Prime Minister want.

The Minister of War felt that today was too difficult.

They are all old hands in the officialdom. In fact, the Minister of War is also very clear that he is being held back.

But unfortunately, I didn't see through this matter at the beginning, so until now I am completely passive and can only be led by the guards.

Fortunately, now I can sit down and rest, so I can waste time.

Gradually the sun set, the sky darkened, and people on the roadside went home one after another.

The Minister of War then stood up, walked to the city gate and asked, "I think it will be difficult to pass on this news to me today, right?"

"Then I won't wait any longer!"
