In fact, after the Minister of War said this, he was afraid that these soldiers would use the same tricks as before to fool him.

Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily this time.

The Minister of War was stunned at first, then he moved his legs very quickly and walked out of the soldiers' sight in a few seconds.

"Brother Wang, why don't you delay this old man for a while and let him go now?"

After the Minister of War left, a new recruit asked the soldier who performed the best today.

Soldier Wang said with a smile: "There is no one on the street right now. Who are we doing this for? Besides, there is no one here. Even if we try to stop him, we can't stop him if he insists on leaving!"

What happened today quickly spread throughout the capital.

Zhao Ji smiled faintly when he heard the news: "That old man won't come tomorrow."

Yueying was right next to him at this time. During this period, Yueying was responsible for the emperor's safety, so naturally she also heard about what happened to the Minister of War outside the palace gate.

The reason I came here today was actually to see if Zhao Ji needed any help.

As a result, he heard the reports from Zhao Ji's subordinates.

In fact, this strategy is an open one.

As long as the soldiers' voices are loud enough, the Minister of War will have no way to refuse them. After all, he is just using the urgency of the matter as an excuse.

As long as he refuses to write down the matter and send it to the palace, it means that the matter is really not urgent.

If he refused to write it down and wanted to keep it secret, it would mean that this matter was not something he could cause openly in front of the palace.

Such contradictory actions officially gave the Ministry of War the reason for not being able to reject the soldiers' proposal to pass on the message.

Zhao Ji seized this opportunity in a short period of time and clearly set a trap for the Minister of War.

The Minister of War returned to his residence at this time and immediately arranged for several servants to massage his feet and back in order to relieve his fatigue from the day.

When he was enjoying himself in his mansion, he was suddenly visited by the Prime Minister's men.

During this period, the Minister of War also found out that the Prime Minister had many capable people under his command.

Able to sneak into one's house silently.

"Master, you are really enjoying yourself. While you are enjoying yourself, my master is cleaning up your mess!"

Although this man was wearing black clothes and a mask, he kept speaking in an extremely rude manner.

The Minister of War could have tolerated it for the sake of gold, silver and treasures.

But today, he said that he had stood for more than four hours with great effort, but ended up leaving a mess.

This made the Minister of War unhappy.

With a cold face, he asked those trusted servants to leave, and then scolded the man in black: "What a mess! Haven't I been doing everything according to the Prime Minister's orders during this period?"

The man in black sneered and said to the Minister of War, "My master wants you to use the incident in the east to leave the impression in the hearts of the people that Zhao Ji doesn't care about state affairs!"

"But do you know what's going on out there?"

The Minister of War was just standing outside today, so he had no idea what the people were saying.

The man in black also thought of this and said with a sneer, "Now the people outside are saying that you, the Minister of War, are usurping your authority! How dare you sit in front of the palace gate and even let a bunch of slaves serve you!"

"As the story spread, it has now become about your great power, as if you are trying to force the emperor to get up from his illness!"

Originally, the Minister of War was somewhat dissatisfied with the tone of voice he used when speaking to the man in black, but when he heard what the man in black said, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Usurpation? I force the emperor?"

"How could it be spread like this? The Prime Minister must know it clearly. I am definitely not like that!"

Every word in this made the Minister of War break out in a cold sweat. If the Emperor woke up and heard the people spreading such rumors, it would be hard to say whether the Minister of War could keep his head.

So at this time the Minister of War also realized that he had to hold on to the Prime Minister's support.

The man in black sent by the prime minister frowned and snorted coldly: "Things have come to this point. If it is just spread by word of mouth among the people, it is definitely impossible. It seems that the person in the palace knows that we are dealing with him."

"Think carefully over the next two days, but don't let this kind of public opinion appear again!"

The man in black waved his hand and walked away.

The Prime Minister was obviously still not satisfied with what happened today, so the Minister of War did not receive any gold, silver or jewelry today.

This made the Minister of War very angry.

Before, they would perform a play for half an hour every day, and after shouting a few words, gold, silver and jewelry would be delivered to the mansion.

As a result, today, he suffered such a great setback. At the age of over 50, even his feet were numb from standing. Not only did he not get any gold, silver or jewelry, he was also scolded.

The Minister of War was so angry that he drank three glasses of water before he could calm down.

Until falling asleep, the Minister of War was still thinking about how to break Zhao Ji's plan tomorrow.

As I was thinking, I fell asleep, and seemed to hear faint sounds of chaos beside my ears.

But he couldn't listen well and felt groggy. It seemed that the Minister of War had fallen asleep again.

When the Minister of War opened his eyes the next day, he saw the setting sun.

In a trance, the Minister of War thought he had just returned from the palace after having a scene.

"Master, you finally woke up. If you had continued to sleep, I really don't know what to do!"

The person sitting in front of the bed was none other than the wife of the Minister of War.

The Minister of War was still confused and didn't understand what was going on. His wife had to explain, "My Lord has been in a coma for a day. The doctor came to check his pulse and said that he was depressed and overworked yesterday, so he was weak for a while!"

The Minister of War then realized that he was ill.

He sighed: "Is there anyone else coming to visit today?"

Madam shed tears and shook her head: "Master, rest assured, no one came today. The emperor is sick now, and there is nothing urgent. Master, your health is serious, the doctor said, you must rest well!"

Everything else doesn't matter, but when the Emperor's illness is mentioned, the Minister of War can't help but think of the torture he suffered before he fainted.

He became more and more angry, and he grabbed the pillow next to him and threw it to the ground: "You ignorant woman, how can you say a few words? Get out of here!"

The Shangshu's wife had not expected this to happen. She was embarrassed and her expression changed. Finally, she left the room, holding her handkerchief.

The Minister of War fell to the ground panting, gritting his teeth and saying viciously: "Zhao Ji... one day I will make you taste the humiliation and torture I have suffered!"

At this time, the news that the Minister of War fell ill appeared on the Prime Minister's desk and Zhao Ji's desk respectively.
