Chapter 42: Harmony between ruler and minister

As Jiang Ji turned his mind, he had already made a general plan, so he clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention. The originally lively hall immediately became quiet and became a sound of falling needles. Only the sound of the lights peeling and pecking came into everyone's ears.

With his eyes swept over everyone present, Jiang Ji said, "The father is very loving and has a heavy responsibility for the orphan. Naturally, he cannot let down his expectations. Therefore, from today on, the orphan will ask all the talents for advice and govern the Qin State."

"Of course, before that, based on what I have seen and heard in Qin these days, some things really need to be dealt with first."

Hearing Jiang Ji's words, everyone turned their attention to Chen Lei intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Lei naturally noticed the eyes of everyone, but even though he was upset and with the same thoughts as others, he thought that Jiang Jihui would deal with him first, but he still maintained calmness on the surface, and seemed to have not noticed anything and was calm and calm.

"Chen Xiang."

Hearing Jiang Ji called him, Chen Lei's heartbeat became faster and faster. He bent down slightly and saluted at Jiang Ji: "What are the instructions of the king?"

Jiang Ji smiled slightly and smiled warmly: "Chen Xiang has worked hard for Qin for many years, and he is not young anymore and lacks energy. He is inevitably unable to do anything about the assassin before, so he feels better to hand over this matter to Lieutenant Guo. What about Chen Xiang's advice?"

Jiang Ji's words were obviously to weaken his rights, but Chen Lei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Compared to life, power, something that was only within his reach, seemed insignificant.

As long as you can leave Qin safely, it will not be difficult to be an official of two thousand stones with the family behind him, as well as the energy of the queen and the eldest prince.

Therefore, Chen Lei not only agreed happily, but also continued: "I am not energetic, and may delay the military and political affairs of Qin and cause trouble to the people. Therefore, I want to rest for a while. During this period, I also ask the king to send someone to temporarily handle political affairs on my behalf."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall looked at each other. It was beyond their expectations that such a neat confession.

After all, Chen Lei is not a puppet without any power to fight back, but a prime minister who holds real power, and his backer is strong, even if they directly face Jiang Ji, they will not be surprised.

Some of them even wanted to fight the two of them so that they could make a profit in this battle.

But I didn't expect Chen Lei to come like this.

Jiang Ji was also a little surprised, his eyes flashed. He didn't have much murderous intention to treat him, but now he feels that he must kill Chen Lei.

A dog that bites people does not bark. Such a very tolerant person is the most terrifying thing. You don’t know when he will give you a knife.

The murderous intent in my heart was firm, but I didn't show a single point. On the contrary, my smile became brighter and brighter, as if I was happy about Chen Lei's understanding.

"Since Chen Xiang needs rest, Gu naturally won't be unkind. Let's do this. When will Chen Xiang not want to rest? Let's tell Gu that Gu will arrange someone to assist Chen Xiang in handling government affairs together to reduce Chen Xiang's burden."

Chen Lei looked moved: "Thank you for your understanding. I am grateful. I will do my best to live up to the king's kindness in the future."

I thought to myself: After all, I am still young. Even if I am smart enough, I just have a little cleverness. I will temporarily stabilize you, the grandson of the turtle, and wait until I escape from Qin, and then find a chance to kill you. Even if I can't kill you, I will make you look good.

The others looked at the harmony between the king and the ministers and praised them one after another.

After Chen Lei surrendered, they had some expectations for such a situation. After all, such things are common in the officialdom.

There is nothing strange if you see it too much.

Moreover, at this point of deciding the winner, flattering the winner is also their extremely skilled behavior.

"Lt. Guo."

"I'm here."

Guo Qu's face was red under the influence of alcohol at this moment, and the excitement in his eyes could be clearly seen.

"Chen Xiang is resting, the political affairs of the country cannot be left untreated, so are you willing to share the responsibility for Chen Xiang?"

"I do, I do."

Guo Qu said immediately.

It is logical that the lieutenant and the prime minister are at the same level, so Guo Qu should not be so excited.

But the Prime Minister is actually the general leader of a country, and he is by default half a height higher than the lieutenant.

Just like the position of Fu of the State, it is said to be the same as the Prime Minister and Lieutenant, but the actual power is far inferior to the two. Unless they are extremely famous, they are only two short.

Moreover, Jiang Ji made such arrangements that as long as Chen Lei was beaten up, he could sit in the position of prime minister, get rid of his simple military status, and take a step further in his position.

Jiang Ji looked around and saw many people showing envious eyes. He was satisfied: "As long as you serve the Qin State with all your heart, I will never give it a reward."

"The king is kind."

"The King of Qin is generous."

“…”

Whether they believe it or not, everyone praised it in unison.

The important things have been said in front of everyone, and as for the rest, I can only take it slowly.

Some things cannot be rushed, otherwise, let alone integrating Qin, it will make Qin uneasy.

...

After the dinner, in the bedroom.

Jiang Ji sent someone to recruit Bai Yan.

"What is the king's order?"

At this moment, the only two of them were in the bedroom, and they used their own methods to cover up the movements and stillness in the palace.

"Bai Jun, Chen Lei is probably planning to retreat as he advances. Therefore, Gu wants you to find an opportunity to get rid of this hidden danger. It is best not to remind people of Gu."

This is undoubtedly a difficult task. Everyone knows that the two of them are not dealing with each other. Now Jiang Ji is in power. If something happens to Chen Lei soon, even if it is not Jiang Ji, others will think that it was him who did it, let alone that he did it now.

However, Bai Yan responded without any hesitation: "Abide by the king's order."

"Thank you for your hard work, and there are not many people around you who can trust you. There is no one else except Bai Jun. I'll ask you for everything."

Facing Jiang Jiqing's sincere words, Bai Yan's heart was filled with blood: "I will never let down the trust of the king."

"Go, after things are done, I will definitely celebrate your merits. The position of Lieutenant is yours."

Jiang Ji smiled and patted Bai Yan on the shoulder.

"promise!"

Bai Yan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then left quickly.
