Chapter 300 Step Into The Dust

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Lin Qingtian, the supreme head of the southwest faction, and Lin Fengxue, the deputy head of the Divine Continent Empire's most powerful clan.

Royal War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan, Deputy Head of State Ye Nianlun, Deputy Prime Minister Chen Hua Lou, Imperial Guardian Wang Tian Xiong, Military Ministry Chen Feng Nan, and Criminal Ministry Guo Zhinu.

Imperial Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan of the southern faction.

Although the leaders of the three major factions had yet to arrive, what was certain was that the ones sitting in the War God Palace were all the most talkative heavyweight leaders of the three major factions.

Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that today's meeting was a summit meeting between the three factions.

The meetings held here are destined not to be widely known, but they are even more authoritative than the meetings of the Standing Committees of the Policy Bureaux and the plenary meetings of the Policy Bureaux.

Hence, after Lin Qingtian refused to give the elites of the War God Palace an official name to hunt down the attackers, the leaders of the royal family did not hold out.

Although Lin Xuanyuan felt a little regretful, he knew that this was the best choice.

With such an overwhelming number of royal leaders, Naturally, But such a vote has no effect at all, The southwest faction has no less members of the Policy Bureaux and Standing Committees than the royal faction, Lin Qingtian held the advantageous position of top leader. After returning, he could convene a plenary meeting of the Policy Bureau to reject the voting within the War God Palace. Once this happened, it might not only be against the elites of the War God King Sect chasing after the murderers, but also to suppress them.

This was something that the royal family didn't want to see no matter what.

Apart from the royal and southwestern factions, there was also an old fox from the southern faction.

Imperial Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan didn't give up his seat to Supreme Head Lin Qingtian in accordance with the rules of the bureaucracy, However, this was a private occasion. No one could force him to do anything. Yang Xiuyuan's refusal to give up his seat had directly cut off Lin Qingtian's face, causing him to feel embarrassed. However, that was all. If he supported the War God King's Mansion to send elites out, it would be tantamount to foolish dreams.

War God Palace.

This was always the heart of any other empire's top brass apart from the royal family.

The armed forces here have always made everyone vigilant, The major factions had always stared at the movement of personnel and the distribution of firearms in the palace as if they were facing a great enemy. If the War God Palace sent elites to conduct activities in the name of the government, then it would definitely not be just the southwest faction that could not sleep. Even the southern faction would be worried.

On the contrary, if he had the chance to suppress the War God Palace and weaken his strength, Yang Xiuyuan would not hesitate to step on it.

In his attitude towards the War God Palace, The south-west faction and the south faction certainly share the same view, Now that the royal family was working closely with the southern faction, Although Yang Xiuyuan had transferred Wen Keliang, the first secretary of Dongshan Province, Ten years later, Huangfu Juncong, the banner figure of the royal clan, was transferred to Dongshan, the backyard of the southwest faction, as the head of the royal clan. However, this was a local game between the two major factions, and it did not affect the overall situation. The relationship between the two sides was still considered to be a good honeymoon period. If the southern faction was pushed to the southwest faction camp to suppress the dark side of the royal family, the War God Palace, then the relationship between the two sides would definitely crack.

Most importantly, Lin Qingtian was still sitting in the position of supreme leader. Although the royal lineage is now launching a massive counter-offensive, but in an extremely restrained manner, All of his actions were just to show off his strength. It wasn't impossible for Lin Qingtian to let Ye Nianlun control the highest authority in advance, but he had to pay attention to his methods. If his methods were too tough, although the short-term benefits were huge, in the long run, the gains would outweigh the losses. It would give everyone a feeling that the royal family was too tyrannical.

Therefore, Lin Xuanyuan immediately withdrew the announcement that he had sent the elites and demanded that the officials grant the elites of the War God Palace an official status. Although everyone knew that this was only a nominal withdrawal, just as Lin Fengxue thought, this name looked inconspicuous, but it was very important. Without him, it was inevitable that the elites of the War God Palace would not be able to move in secret. At the very least, they could not openly eradicate the dissidents.

About 40 minutes of peak talks.

Lin Qingtian then left with Vice Head Gao and Lin Fengxue. Every second he sat in this place, Lin Qingtian felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick.

Before leaving, when War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan shook hands with the Empire's Supreme Head, Lin Qingtian, even Lin Fengxue could see just how reluctant the two sides were.

Lin Xuanyuan sneered and provoked without concealment. His gaze was as cold as a knife. He held the other party's palm, wishing he could break every inch of the other party's bones.

Lin Qingtian probably had the same thoughts, but he didn't have the strength to do so, so his smile was extremely far-fetched.

The two of them didn't even say a word of courtesy. They shook hands symbolically, nodded symbolically, and Lin Qingtian left with his men.

Yang Xiuyuan deliberately waited for a while before patting Lin Xuanyuan's shoulder with a smile and greeting him as he went downstairs.

"Impulsive."

Lin Xuanyuan once again stood in front of the window of the War Hall. He looked out of the window and could no longer see the shadow of Lin Qingtian's red flag. However, his eyes were still cold and he spoke impulsively. However, there was no regret in his eyes. He turned around and looked at the royal leaders who had expressions of helplessness or admiration on their faces. He smiled and said, "But it was quite pleasant."

"It's not just impulse, it's recklessness."

Chen Hualou's face was tense as he said solemnly, Deputy Prime Minister Chen was dressed in a black professional attire today, Her figure was exquisite and her face was exquisite, but her aura was overwhelming. She was extremely powerful. The purple limited edition Hermes silk scarf tied around her neck gave her a trace of nobility and femininity. She looked like a wonderful young woman in her early thirties. Every movement she made, the complex charm of the combination of gentleness and strength was almost irresistible.

Lin Xuanyuan shrugged. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I did it on purpose to anger him, I thought he'd let his bodyguards take me down, "It seems that I have underestimated him. It seems that there is no difference between the War God King humiliating the Supreme Head and the War God King killing the bodyguard of the Supreme Head. However, the blow to his prestige is of two levels. Who would have thought that he would not lose face even if I mentioned the matter of him being beheaded? The old fellow can endure it. It's not simple."

"If it was simple, he wouldn't be able to sit in his current position."

Ye Nianlun smiled indifferently and said in a calm voice. This deputy head of state, who was most likely to become the highest leader of the empire in two years, had a calm temperament. He was a man of great brilliance and restraint. He seemed to have no temper at all. He returned to his original nature without revealing the slightest bit of depth.

Right now, a large portion of the high-ranking officials of the Divine Continent Empire believed that the reason why Wang Xie was so strong with Chen Hualou as the deputy prime minister was to protect the mild-tempered Vice-Head Ye.

But Lin Xuanyuan naturally knew the inside story. This Vice Head Ye was the one who was truly powerful, and Chen Hualou's temper was truly gentle. Back then, when he was the Governor of Minnan Province of the Empire, he could treat Minnan's First Secretary as a tough subordinate. How could he be so harmless to humans and animals as he was now?

It was all for the sake of a smooth succession.

"I'm just amazed at his patience. I've never doubted his methods. A person who personally planned to destroy the northern faction, his political methods are naturally incomparably superb."

Lin Xuanyuan's tone was a little self-deprecating, but he didn't find it too surprising when he thought deeper.

The reason why Lin Qingtian was bereaved of his descendants was entirely due to the revenge of his foster father, Qin Tianjiao.

Back then, Lin Qingtian had even endured this, but now it was even more impossible for him to lose face because of someone else mentioning it.

The muscles on the faces of all the great figures present twitched slightly.

Knowing Lin Xuanyuan's background, they naturally knew what destroying the northern factions meant to Lin Xuanyuan.

Northern faction.

Twenty years ago, it was a super political group that could influence the situation of the empire.

In terms of momentum and prestige, it was basically a super power that could stand on equal footing with the royal faction, the southwest faction, and the south faction twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago, the empire was just like the emperor had said. With many factions joining forces, it was impossible for one faction to occupy the position of four Policy Bureau giants.

Each faction could become a super faction by having a standing member of the Policy Bureaux.

Twenty years ago, for example, only Imperial Prime Minister Li Donglei joined the royal family.

Twenty years ago, only the Empire's Supreme Head, Xue Zhiguo, had joined the southwest faction.

The northern faction was a colossus that had been able to obtain a spot for a gigantic figure in every major change since the founding of the People's Republic.

They were based in the northern municipality, which was adjacent to the capital, Nine Continents City, but their influence covered most of the provinces in the country.

Now that the northern faction was mentioned, the most obvious representative clan was the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City.

Back then, the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was countless times more glorious than it is now. Even if Lin Congzheng was now the first deputy director of the Empire's Development Committee, it was more likely that he would be elected a member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau at the Central Plenary Session only a few months later. Even so, the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City twenty years ago was far more powerful than it is now.

At that time, Lin Huaiyu, the patriarch of the Lin Family in Nine Continents City, was a member of the Policy Bureau and the First Secretary of the Northern City Party Committee.

First in command, a feudal official worthy of his name!

Apart from Lin Huaiyu, the Lin Clan's direct relatives also occupied two central committee members. Moreover, they were both senior central committee members, a provincial governor, and a minister of an empire's heavyweight ministry.

Lin Huaiyu personally promoted him to the position of Governor-General, and there were even more high-ranking officials at the level of Deputy Governor-General.

Such a top political power in the empire was only an important part of the northern faction.

At that time, not to mention Lin Fengxue, even if Lin Qingtian had not been elected a member of the Policy Bureau, when he saw Lin Huaiyu, he had to call him Secretary Lin politely and respectfully.

The northern faction had boundless scenery and impressive prestige.

This kind of glory lasted until the great change twenty years ago.

In those years, the biggest thing that happened in the empire's politics was that Li Donglei, the first secretary of Huating, joined the royal family from the Xia family and became the first high-ranking official of the royal family to become a member of the policy bureau.

This action was equivalent to Li Donglei taking the initiative to give up the chance to climb to the top.

It was also since Li Donglei joined the royal family.

The empire's politics changed.

Li Donglei, who lacked the push of the Xia family, was transferred from Huating to the capital, and Xue Zhiguo surpassed him in the rankings of the party. In the end, he became the prime minister of the empire.

Since Li Donglei had retreated from the 1st to the 2nd, the other Standing Committee giants would naturally change as well.

That was why the ups and downs of the Northern Faction had changed. It was too sudden for the Northern Faction to start their personnel arrangements. Their original position was taken away by Li Donglei. The most direct consequence was that not a single member of the Northern Faction had ever entered the ranks of the giants. Only three or four Policy Bureaux members were able to support the situation.

A super political group without a leader.

The huge benefits and resources instantly made the various factions eyeing the northern factions covetously.

However, at that time, one of the founding elders of the northern faction was still alive, and their influence could not be underestimated. Everyone held back and did not move.

At that time, the northern faction was very optimistic. Although there weren't any giants, the existence of the elders was enough for them to survive. As long as the elders could last for five years and change their terms in the middle stage, he could take the initiative to call a central plenary meeting in advance to guard the northern faction and let the faction continue to flourish.

As a result, the northern faction encountered a second accident after no one entered the country.

The originally healthy elders suddenly became seriously ill and died within less than a month.

Senator's personal physician committed suicide.

While the party gave the elder a high evaluation, the northern faction was busy investigating the death of the elder.

The northern faction, which did not have the last protective clothing, finally attracted a hungry wolf.

The southwest faction was the first to make a move.

In the beginning, it was only a deputy district head at the deputy department level who was investigated.

A huge political storm started with the deputy district governor. In less than half a month, the district governor and the secretary of the district party committee, who was a member of the Standing Committee of the Northern Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, were bitten out one after another.

The Imperial Supervision Department intervened forcefully.

Everything turned out to be out of control.

Less than three months.

Three members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China

The southwest faction ignored their ugly appearance and directly ate their own food.

The strongest fortress of the northern faction was completely broken.

Originally, the addition of three members of the Standing Committee would not affect the situation in Northern City, but the most important thing was that although the secretary of the Party Committee of Northern City was still Lin Huaiyu, the mayor was no longer a general of the northern faction. Instead, he belonged to the royal lineage that had already become a part of the climate.

Lin Guodong, now a member of the Policy Bureau, Academician of the Central Academy, Imperial State Councilor, and Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet, was the mayor of North City at that time.

This was the true core of the royal lineage.

He had also been Li Donglei's secretary for more than ten years.

Li Donglei joined the Northeast, Lin Guodong rose high and entered the North City as the second-in-command. His abilities were outstanding, and he was tough. He was naturally unwilling to be overwhelmed by Lin Huaiyu in the North City. He was eager to open up the situation, so he began to cooperate with the three Standing Committee members of the Southwest Faction.

Third Committee Standing Committee members, plus second-in-command and fourth-in-command, although they still did not have an advantage, they were still a very objective external force.

Subsequently, the royal family took the initiative to attack.

The number three figure in the northern city, the deputy secretary, was transferred to the Nine Continents City. He was promoted and secretly surrendered, and another great general of the royal family was parachuted into the northern city.

The deputy secretary in charge of the Party and the masses once again divided the discourse power between the first secretary, Lin Huaiyu, and the officials appointed by the minister of bureaucracy. The outsiders in the northern city had a firm foothold.

After that, the First Villa Master of Northern City fought against the empire by force. The army, Northern City's super-large illegal fund-raising cases, illegal pyramid scheme cases, illegal drug trafficking cases, anti-gangsters, Big Yellow, and the explosions in Northern City erupted one after another in Northern City.

There were coincidences as well as secret plots by the southwest faction.

Everyone could tell that the northern faction was in a state of turmoil, and Lin Huaiyu, as the first secretary, was even more worried.

The southwestern faction had no intention of letting him go.

After the death of the elder, Lin Huaiyu was in charge of the main camp. He was also a member of the Policy Bureaux, but his status was much higher than that of the other Policy Bureaux of the northern faction.

The southwest faction directly targeted Lin Huaiyu and the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City.

Afterwards, then leader of the southwest faction, Xue Zhiguo, who had just ascended to the top, directly convened a plenary meeting of the Policy Bureau. At the meeting, he publicly challenged Lin Huaiyu. The royal faction, the southern faction, and other factions were naturally not courteous when they saw that they had benefits to gain.

The meeting ended in less than a month.

Lin Huaiyu took the blame and resigned, announcing his early retirement due to his physical condition.

The Lin Clan's momentum in Nine Continents City had greatly decreased.

Because of Lin Huaiyu's resignation, some hidden problems in Northern City erupted. No matter who did it, they would always blame Lin Huaiyu.

All the officials promoted by Lin Huaiyu were suppressed and purged.

It took the major factions two years to destroy the northern factions.

However, it took less than two months for the southwest faction to destroy the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City.

Lin Huaiyu's resignation also meant that the traditional northern faction was shattered, and everyone within the faction was panicking.

At this time, Lin Fengxue, who had already been elected as a member of the Policy Bureau, made a decisive move. Taking advantage of the panic in the northern faction, she wantonly recruited senior cadres from the northern faction, and conferred protection, coercion, and temptation on them. In less than a year, more than 70% of the forces from the northern faction were under the control of the southwest faction.

Even Northern City, a municipality directly under the Central Government, had almost become the backyard of the southwest faction.

The southwestern faction had won a great victory, and their strength was comparable to that of the first faction, the king faction.

All of this was not planned by Xue Zhiguo, the leader of the southwest faction at that time.

It was Lin Qingtian's plan!

Xue Zhiguo cooperated to put pressure on the northern factions.

Lin Fengxue was in charge of all the things that could not be seen in the dark.

The northern faction fell.

The Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was dim.

The southwestern faction receives resources from the northern faction.

Among them, there was another matter that was extremely important to Lin Xuanyuan.

It was still Lin Qingtian's plan.

Lin Fengxue carried out without hesitation.

The process of execution was very simple. The current Patriarch, who was known as the number one clan in the empire, had only used a stupid woman to ruthlessly stab the heart of the Lin Clan in the dim Nine Continents City. In other words, he had stepped on it.

He directly trampled all the glory and pride of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City into the dust.
