On the second day, Jiang Ji summoned the powerful people in Yangdi City and asked them to go to the Qin Palace to discuss matters.

This sudden news seems a bit abrupt compared to before.

Since the King of Qin appointed Guo Qu as prime minister, Yangdi, which was calm on the surface but actually undercurrents, was instantly boiling.

The obvious reason why the King of Qin was so popular this time must be because of the position of lieutenant who had been undecided.

In front of the Qin Palace, Guo Qu walked towards the main hall with great enthusiasm, and people kept rushing forward to salute and chatting.

The topic of this is naturally inseparable from the ownership of the lieutenant position. Now no one knows that Guo Qu has successfully surrendered in advance, making him a celebrity in the eyes of the King of Qin. He wants to inquire about some information from him in advance.

However, Guo Qu is not unaware of the right measure. Even if the King of Qin believes in him now, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants.

On the contrary, if he wants to maintain his current status, he needs to be more careful in his words and actions.

So he refused all those who gave gifts and made contact with each other before, and at most he said some ambiguous scenes to deal with them.

Guo Qu intended to avoid suspicion, so he quickly entered the hall, and immediately his side became quiet.

The powerful and powerful people in Yangdi quickly gathered together, and the familiar ones gathered together in a low voice.

"The King of Qin is here!"

As the eunuchs shouted, the hall soon became quiet, and the crowd stood on both sides of the hall according to their respective identities.

Jiang Ji wore a black golden python robe, walked into the hall in a dragon and tiger-like manner, then sat down on the upper head, and looked down at everyone in the hall from a high place.

"Greetings to the king!"

"Please get up, everyone."

Jiang Ji paused for a moment, and then said directly: "Chen Xiang took the seal and left. Gu deeply felt that Lieutenant Guo was working hard and had outstanding moral character, so he let him be the prime minister."

"Now the position of lieutenant is vacant, and someone urgently needs to perform his duties and protect his country. You can speak freely and recommend the virtuous."

The hall suddenly became quieter, almost a needle could be heard.

Although everyone guessed the purpose of the King of Qin, the King of Qin still made everyone feel uncomfortable when he said this matter so bluntly that no one spoke.

Jiang Ji smiled: "Can't our Qin State's huge territory and countless populations not even have a talent to serve as a lieutenant?"

As Jiang Ji finished speaking, someone soon stood up. He bent down to salute Jiang Ji respectfully, and then said: "Ming recommended one person. The Li family in the city is famous for being a wise man. In his early years, he joined the army to fight against Yanshan bandits and had experience in ranks. He was a good candidate for the position of lieutenant."

As Zhang Ming spoke, other people in the hall also spoke. Of course, there will naturally be people who are not in the process of dealing with each other, or there have been agreements before to recommend and praise each other.

As expected by Jiang Ji, these people recommended people from large families. They may really have some skills, but choosing the ones among them is not conducive to Jiang Ji's control of the entire Qin State.

This is also why the Dayu Empire had a landlord and officials who had to be from other places. Otherwise, with the help of the family's influence in the local area, they would become local emperors, and then they would shake the rule of the entire empire.

Seeing the discussions coming to the sky, Jiang Ji suddenly spoke: "We must be aware of the talents of our Qin State, and we don't know if there is anyone who recommends Wei Fu?"

The hall suddenly became quiet, and his eyes were all aimed at Wei Ji who had been standing calmly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Ji's eyes. He didn't expect that the King of Qin would suddenly ask him, after all, the relationship between the two was not very good.

The King of Qin took the initiative to inquire, and what he said would be of great importance, which is one of the reasons why others looked so eagerly at him now.

Wei Ji calmed down and began to think about why Jiang Ji suddenly asked him the reason. He glanced at Guo Qu and soon realized it.

When the King of Qin asked him at this time, it was nothing more than the person recommended by others that was not in line with his wishes. The King of Qin wanted to use his prestige to recommend someone who suited the King of Qin's wishes.

The person the King of Qin wanted was naturally a person who was trusted like Guo Qu, and had no great influence in Qin and was easy to control.

"I reported to the king, Ji thought that since the king followed the king to Qin, Bai Yan worked hard and made great contributions, and his talents were outstanding. The palace guards were well trained, and they all depended on the doctor's order. Therefore, if he was a lieutenant, I believe everyone would accept it."

Jiang Ji nodded slightly, but he was thinking that Jiang was still old. He just now hinted at Guo Qu many times, but he gave him a charming look to the blind man.

"What Wei Fu said is very true. Do you have any different opinions?"

There was silence in the hall.

This is naturally not because they have no objection, but because they dare not have any objection.

If you have any objections, wouldn’t it be a refutation of Wei Ji’s face?

Moreover, judging from the appearance of the King of Qin, he obviously agreed with this proposal. Maybe he had communicated with Wei Ji before, but now it is just a formality.

"I also think that what Wei Fu said is very true."

Guo Qu, who knew it later, only realized that Jiang Ji's hint to him just now could not help but feel ashamed. He secretly glad that the matter was still going on according to the King of Qin's wishes, otherwise he would probably lose a lot of points in the King of Qin's heart.

With Guo Qu's proposal, no matter what the other people think, they can only agree.

Jiang Ji turned his eyes to Bai Yan, who was still calm on the surface, who was standing aside without speaking, and said, "All the actions of Mr. Bai are seen by all your beloved ministers. Who else can be the lieutenant but the lieutenant? I don't know if Mr. Bai is willing?"

"I am willing to do my best and will do my best to live up to the expectations of the king in the future."

Holding the excitement in his heart, Bai Yan made himself as calm as possible, but he couldn't help but reveal some emotions in his words.

"Okay, I believe that Bai Qing can make Qin stronger."

After a pause, Jiang Ji looked at the others again: "After Gu's investigation, there are many people in Yangdi, who are in vain. Therefore, Gu decided to carry out a rectification next and clear the Qin style. This requires your cooperation, and you will also rely on the talents you recommend to take on the heavy responsibility."

Jiang Ji's move was to clean up Chen Lei's remaining forces, and to give these people some benefits to win over them, so as to consolidate his rule.

The people who were a little lost just now were shocked when they heard this and immediately understood the potential meaning of the King of Qin. Obviously, the King of Qin still had to rely on the influence of their family to maintain his rule.

Looking at the change of expressions of everyone, Jiang Ji nodded with satisfaction, with one hand being a big stick and sweet dates in the other hand, only by giving both kindness and power can we better control these people and thus rule the Qin State.
