Chapter 4: The Prime Minister and the Lieutenant

Looking at Bai Yan who was leaving with great strides, Jiang Ji Ran sat at the moment. At this moment, the qi and blood in his body had recovered from his original body level and his injuries were much healed. Next, after the injury was healed, he began to test the many ideas in his mind.

"Under Bai Yan's actions, the Yangdi City should be more peaceful and can also give me some stable time and make progress during this period."

Just now, Jiang Ji had already told Bai Yan about all the incident, and did not even miss the details, and then asked him to deal with the matter by himself.

Although I don’t know what methods Bai Yan would use to deal with this matter, judging from his original memory and his conversation just now, he made up his mind and then acted and then attacked his opponent’s thunder.

In this way, all forces in Yangdi City will inevitably be deterred and will naturally reduce various actions. For Jiang Ji, stability is the greatest benefit.

"Report to the king, the prime minister and the lieutenant asked for a meeting."

A servant walked into the bedroom in small steps and knelt on the ground.

The news is quite well-informed. I just met Bai Yan, and these two people came to the door. The Qin Palace is really a sieve.

"Please come in."

"promise."

The attendant took the order and left.

Logically speaking, meeting these two people should be in the main hall, but Jiang Ji is now "seriously injured", so it is better to meet them in the bedroom.

In order to make his state more in line with their imagination, Jiang Ji specially controlled his own qi and blood, making his face worse.

Not long after, the servant led two people into the bedroom just now.

Both of them were wearing black robes and a solemn expression.

The person who was just a little older than a fifty-year-old, had a narrow face and a thin, looking like he looked thin. At first glance, there was nothing surprising, but after a closer look, you could notice his eyes.

His eyes did not appear turbid because of his age, but instead looked very bright. Combined with his unique temperament, they looked sharp and imposing.

The man behind him wore a turtle crown, a national face, and a majestic figure, giving people a feeling of being a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

"Greetings to the king."

The two of them fell to the ground and saluted respectfully to Jiang Ji.

"Both of you guys get up quickly, ahem..."

Jiang Ji pretended to be unwell, and looked like he wanted to get up but was unwell.

"The king's health is important, just sit down and rest."

Chen Lei stood up with the flow, and at the same time he showed concern on his face.

"Yes, the king's injury has not healed, so please sit down and rest quickly. Qu came to visit him to disturb him, so he could not aggravate the king's injury."

Lieutenant Guo Qu's rough face was a little worried, as if he was worried about Jiang Ji's safety.

The two are real power figures within the Qin State and hold the military and political power of the entire Qin State.

If you change to an ordinary vassal state, because the prime minister and lieutenant also have the responsibility to supervise the princes and kings, not to mention kneeling and worshiping, the princes and kings must act according to their expressions.

However, Jiang Ji's identity at this time was his son and heir to the throne. Even Chen Lei and Guo Qu did not dare to have any disrespect for Jiang Ji on the surface, and his etiquette was extremely thoughtful.

"Thank you for your concern for the two Zhuguos. Let's sit down first. I wonder what the two Zhuguos have to see the orphan?"

Chen Lei knelt in his seat, straight and straight: "Lei heard that the king's injury had improved, so he came to visit him specially."

"The same is true for Qu. And it was not accidental that Qu heard that the king was injured. It was because someone deliberately wanted to murder the king. When he came on this trip, he also reminded the king to be more careful so as not to be harmed by the evil man."

Guo Qu said, and glanced at Chen Lei, but Chen Lei's expression did not change at all.

Even this news spread. It seems that Feng Yu was still known by others when he was acting, or maybe Guo Qu has another source of information?

Since the news had been known by them, Jiang Ji did not continue to tact, but said frankly: "I have already known this matter. The young mansion has reported Yu Gu before, and Gu has reported this matter to the court."

"This is actually true!"

Chen Lei seemed to have just learned about this, and slapped the table and said angrily: "These traitors are really bold. Lieutenant Guo, it is your responsibility to prepare for the enemy, not to mention that it is related to the safety of the king. I will report to the court to punish you for being dereliction of duty."

Guo Qu felt disgusted, as if he had eaten a dead mouse.

He originally wanted to put this matter on Chen Lei, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot, not taking any advantage, and was disgusted, but he couldn't say anything.

"This matter is indeed a dereliction of duty, but the hunting ground is outside the city. With the number of county soldiers in Yangdi, it is really not as powerful as it is."

Jiang Ji was not surprised at the intrigue between the two.

The Prime Minister and the Lieutenant both have an official position of 2,000 stones. In name, the Prime Minister is above the Lieutenant, but in fact it depends on who gets more support from the official in the country and has greater power. Therefore, there are often scenes where the Prime Minister or the Lieutenant dominates the family.

Chen Lei came to Qin six months later than Guo Qu. Although he was more popular among the gentry in Qin, Guo Qu could compete with him in Qin with the advantage of time.

But as time went by, Guo Qu gradually fell into a disadvantage, but it was impossible to make him surrender, and the two of them were stalemate.

For this reason, these two people always want to kick the other out of Qin in one fell swoop.

Seeing Guo Qu's eyes coming for help, Jiang Ji's heart moved and said, "What the lieutenant said is very true. This matter is a matter of being arbitrary and incompetent, which gives the thief the opportunity to take advantage of, but it has little to do with the lieutenant."

The enemy's enemies are not necessarily friends, but compared to having Chen Lei dominate the country in Qin, it is more in line with Jiang Ji's interests to be evenly matched.

Although this incident may not necessarily cause Guo Qu to lose his post, the situation is not very good and will definitely become more and more difficult.

"The king is kind-hearted, but some people are sinister in their hearts, but they must not believe that they will not kill the snake and will be bitten!"

Chen Lei looked heartbroken. Those who didn't know thought he was so loyal to Jiang Ji.

"Chen Xiang was worried too much, how could the lieutenant be such a person?"

"Thank you for your trust, and I am grateful."

Guo Qu knew that he was definitely not Chen Lei's opponent, so he wisely did not continue to talk.

Seeing this, Chen Lei did not continue to chase and started chatting with Jiang Ji.

About two quarters of an hour later, just as Jiang Ji wanted to send the two men away due to discomfort and ended the boring conversation, a servant reported to him for a visit.

Why is he back now? Is it because of these two people?
