As a veteran political powerhouse of the Divine Continent Empire , the Ye Clan could be considered the most worthy.
The most glorious, oldest and most powerful political power in the decades since the founding of the People's Republic.
The Ye Clan could not be considered number one in the three fields alone, but the combination of the three sins placed the Ye Clan at the top, and it was worthy of being called number one.
In terms of glory, the Wang Clan back then had been completely destroyed and the current imperial clan had been established. Now that the imperial clan was mentioned, people would only recall the Emperor's militarism, the impoverishment of the imperial clan that did not conform to the super powers of the world, and their lack of resources.
Most of the time, people were accustomed to treating the royal family as a new super family.
In terms of history, the three great clans that had flourished since the Republic of China were also older than the Ye Clan. After the Wang Clan was destroyed, the remaining three great clans even had tremendous power to control the empire's political situation. The Qin, Tang, Xia, and Xia Clans had already merged with the royal clans. The other two clans had also fallen on the path of the rise of the royal clans for various reasons.
In terms of glory, the Chen Clan, which was also a top political power, once had a glorious time when it was known as the number one faction in the military and political circles. However, in terms of history, it could not be compared to the Ye Clan, which had already begun to prosper during the Anti-Japanese War before the founding of the empire.
Twenty years ago, When the Ye Clan and Chen Clan were fighting to the death over some grudges, At that time, the Ye Clan's spokesperson in the economic field, Ye Nianhua, a famous playboy in the entire empire and even in Asia, once said to Chen Fengyu, the current head of the empire's general equipment department, "When our old master personally established the empire's secret service system, your old master was also a regiment-level cadre. Why would the Chen family challenge the Ye family?"
Before and after the founding of the People's Republic, For decades, Two consecutive Empire Guardians, The supreme leader of the empire's secret service, The Ye Clan only had 20 district commanders and officials at the Governor level. Two years later, the Ye Clan would be able to add another Imperial Supreme Head to the list of top officials of the Ye Clan. He was a member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, a member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau, a minister of the Supervision Department of the Imperial Center, a member of the Policy Bureau, a secretary of the Huating Municipality, and an army.
In the entire empire, only the Ye Clan was a top political power.
This was enough to leave a name in the history of glory and glory.
The Ye Clan's nominal headquarters is now in the Empire's Dragon Lake Park, It was a park, but it was actually a park-style villa area. The Dragon Lake Park occupied an entire mountain area. There were dozens of large courtyards that could almost be called small villas inside. The luxurious villas that were filled with modernity were situated between green mountains and rivers. The scenery was beautiful, mysterious, and quiet.
Each courtyard had a separate passageway, and there was only one passageway up the mountain. Every passageway intersection was guarded 24 hours a day. Dozens of roads were carved out to lead to each villa.
This was a place for leaders of the Imperial Decision Making Bureau to recuperate after retirement. Therefore, the other name of the Dragon Lake Park was also called the Dragon Lake Sanatorium. It was the highest level sanatorium in the entire Empire. There was no such place.
The current address of the Ye Clan is 3 Dragon Lake Park.
Although the figures in Dragon Lake Park had no political significance, being able to live in villa number three was a symbol of the Ye Family's strength in some hidden rules that everyone knew but did not break.
The Mercedes-Benz S600 was carefully inspected at the foot of the mountain in the Dragon Lake Park. After the guards contacted the Ye Family personally and confirmed that there were indeed guests visiting, they were able to travel all the way to the mountain. Along the way, they were personally drivers and Lin Xuanyuan, who was gushing at the back row, came to this place. Their expressions also became a little more serious, and they were no longer smiling playfully.
The front of the car was obviously worn out. The Mercedes-Benz S600, whose lights had been damaged, went all the way up. When they stopped in front of the second gate of the Dragon Lake Park, Lin Xuanyuan and Lin Shuhua saw the Ye Family standing in front of the gate to welcome them.
Two old men, two middle-aged men.
The four of them stood at the door with smiles on their faces. They didn't have any majestic aura, but standing under the bright national emblem in front of the door gave off an unfathomable feeling.
Lin Xuanyuan, who was already familiar with the Ye Clan's information, immediately recognized the identities of the three of them.
The old man at the front naturally couldn't admit his mistake. The first generation guardian of the empire, the glorious founder of the Ye Clan, his second master, Ye Chunqiu.
The kind old man behind Ye Chunqiu was Ye Chunqiu's son, the Prime Minister of the empire 20 years ago, and also the predecessor of the empire's monument, Li Donglei, Ye Zhonghua.
The old man was already in his seventies, and he did not possess the abnormal skills of Ye Chunqiu, who was close to the World-shaking Realm. Therefore, his body looked somewhat weak, but his spirit was very vigorous. His pair of wise eyes were shockingly bright.
Among the people of the empire, there were two kinds of opinions about Prime Minister Ye Zhonghua. One insisted that Prime Minister Ye Zhonghua was a good premier who worked diligently for the country and the people, while the other dubbed China as a movie star and thought that he only knew how to show off, and that he had not made any outstanding contributions during his ten years in power.
Especially after his successor Li Donglei took office, he pulled the Divine Boat Empire into the ranks of the developed countries. In comparison, Ye Zhonghua, who looked somewhat mediocre, was inevitably much sadder.
However, only those who truly understood the political situation of the Divine Continent Empire would understand what this seemingly mediocre old man had done.
Compared to his successor, Li Donglei, he did not make any outstanding contributions.
Yes, no, no, not impossible.
The old man did not do much when he was in office, but he did what he should have done the most.
When the empire needed stability the most, he directly gave the empire a decade of stability and health, and also directly laid the foundation for the successor, Li Donglei, to develop rapidly afterwards.
Such achievements might eventually be buried in the dust of history. Many years later, Ye Zhonghua might even be addressed as a movie emperor or forgotten by others. However, it was precisely this attitude and practice of willingness to be forgotten that showed the old man's great heart.
In Lin Xuanyuan's heart, former Prime Minister Li Donglei was definitely worthy of being number one in terms of serving the country and the people. However, if one only looked at his pure political wisdom and sense of smell, almost no one could replace Ye Zhonghua in this respect. Even Li Donglei and Elder Li were inferior.
In his era, politics and struggles might not have been as intense as they are now, but the oddities were even more bizarre.
It was not an era where one could do great things with great momentum. Stability, stability really could overwhelm everything!
Ye Zhonghua was able to let go of his ambitions and focus on maintaining stability. The effort he had put in was not worth the effort of an outsider.
"Calligraphy and painting, what do you think of Prime Minister Ye Zhonghua?"
Before getting off the car, Lin Xuanyuan suddenly asked.
Lin Shuhua was obviously stunned. He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "My father once said that the reason why Elder Li was able to lead the Divine Boat Empire to create a prosperous era belonging to the empire is closely related to Elder Li's painstaking efforts. However, the most important premise is that his predecessor was none other than Prime Minister Ye Zhonghua."
Lin Xuanyuan looked calmly at Lin Shuhua.
Lin Shuhua took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "My father also said that many people can't see Prime Minister Ye Zhonghua's efforts for the empire. Twenty years ago, if it weren't for Prime Minister Ye Zhonghua's ascension to the throne, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Perhaps … the country would have been ruined!"
"Why?"
Lin Xuanyuan asked in a playful tone.
"Why..."
The corner of Lin Shuhua's mouth twitched, and he said calmly, "Because at that time, the supreme leader of the empire wouldn't be able to leave the Hidden Dragon Sea for ten years. It's just a puppet!"
Lin Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Zhonghua, who was standing at the door to greet him. He narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "It's also because of this that I won't blame him for supporting the southwest faction and Lin Qingtian back then."
He pushed open the door and got off the car, continuing, "The old man's political wisdom is incomparable. Unfortunately, his vision is a bit lacking. He has misjudged someone."
When they were less than three meters away from the Ye Clan, Lin Xuanyuan took the initiative to extend his hand towards Ye Chunqiu, who was at the front. He smiled and called Elder Ye. His tone was equal, but when he spoke, he bowed inconspicuously.
Very few people in the world knew that War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan was Ye Chunqiu's disciple. Lin Xiaocao and Lin Xuanyuan continued to disguise their identities. At present, it was still necessary.
Ye Chunqiu smiled and nodded. He shook Lin Xuanyuan's hand with some strength. His other hand patted his shoulder naturally. He looked at the car he was riding and joked, "Xuanyuan, what happened to the car? The lights were scrapped. If the War God Palace doesn't have the money to repair it, how about the Ye Family change your car?"
Lin Shuhua smiled embarrassedly.
When I came out of the airport yesterday, As a driver, He knocked Rolls-Royce, who had accompanied the King of Battle and was now accompanying the War God King, The pure black Rolls-Royce, The value is imaginable, It was a gift from the Rothschild family's Empress, Lan Helen Rothschild, who personally gave it to the royal family. This was the only car in the empire. Any damage would have to be repaired by air at the headquarters of the Rolls-Royce Motor Company. This was also the case for someone like the War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan, who was'easy to get along with '. If Wang Fuyu were to be next to him, Lin Shuhua would definitely be able to spray Lin Shuhua for a day and night without stopping with his temper if he crashed his car.
However, Lin Shuhua had no time to celebrate. In less than twenty-four hours, he crashed into another Mercedes-Benz S600 that Lin Xuanyuan had temporarily used to take his place.
Lin Xuanyuan was in the car twice.
No matter how good their relationship was, it was inevitable that they would be embarrassed to encounter this.
Lin Shuhua, who was skilled enough to drift at high speeds on rugged mountain paths, felt a terrible egg ache.
"This driver's skill isn't good. He's impetuous. I still need to temper him."
Lin Xuanyuan pulled Lin Shuhua over with a smile and teased him. "Elder Ye, this is Lin Shuhua. My brother, I'll leave all the intelligence work in the War God Palace to him," he said solemnly.
Ye Chunqiu, Ye Zhonghua, and the two middle-aged men were obviously stunned for a moment. Looking at Lin Shuhua, who was also obviously in a daze, their eyes immediately became somewhat meaningful.
Lin Congjun's son.
The Emperor's disciple.
Crown Prince Wang Bolong's best friend.
Right now, he had just assumed the position of deputy to assist the War God King in controlling the intelligence work.
They were naturally no strangers to Lin Shuhua, but Lin Xuanyuan's solemn introduction was different.
Brother.
A person of Lin Xuanyuan's status had to be cautious when using this term.
Thinking back to Lin Xuanyuan's oath last night, including Ye Chunqiu, the four of them smiled and nodded to Lin Shuhua.
"Alright, alright, calligraphy and painting. Do your best. If you encounter any problems in the future that can't be solved, come to the Ye Clan. The Ye Clan can help and won't refuse."
Ye Chunqiu smiled and said with an indescribable kindness in his eyes. He patted Lin Xuanyuan's shoulder again and pointed at Ye Zhonghua, saying calmly, "This is my son."
"Hello, Elder Ye."
Lin Xuanyuan reached out and shook hands with Ye Zhonghua tightly. After a moment of silence, he called out Elder Ye.
As the closed disciples of Xuanyuan Long Hu and Ye Chun Qiu, Lin Xuanyuan's seniority was simply ridiculously high. Seriously, he was even a senior like Ye Zhonghua. It wasn't too much to call Ye Zhonghua Big Brother. This kind of seniority had embarrassed countless people in the past, but over time, everyone gradually stopped appreciating him.
"Hello, Xuanyuan."
Ye Zhonghua smiled warmly and said softly. Ye Chunqiu had four sons and one daughter. The eldest son and the youngest son died in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the Civil War before the founding of the People's Republic. The third son died of illness shortly after the founding of the People's Republic.
Now, the second generation of the Ye Family, Ye Zhonghua was the last to survive, The only thing worth celebrating was that the old man's concept of collateral and direct line was not too heavy. Most of the time, the Ye Clan could be considered fair and square. The Ye Clan was brilliant and prosperous, and the status of several branches was by no means inferior. There were no lack of high-ranking officials and business leaders at the Governor level or the Deputy Governor level. Therefore, the atmosphere of the Ye Clan had always been extremely united and stable.
Stable.
This was almost the label of Ye Zhonghua, whether it was running a family or a country, it had always been like this.
"These two are my second and youngest sons. You should know them."
Ye Zhonghua withdrew his hand and looked at the two middle-aged men standing behind him. He smiled casually.
Lin Xuanyuan's smile relaxed a lot. He looked at the two of them and nodded slightly. The two of them in front of him could be considered the two most active members of the Ye Clan.
Ye Zhonghua had three sons and a daughter.
Three years ago, Ye Zhonghua's only daughter, Ye Wei, had completely retired from politics in order to ensure that Ye Nianlun would become a regular tycoon. Now, she was living in the imperial family headquarters and cultivating.
The eldest son, Ye Nianlun , was now a policy bureau magnate and the number one deputy head of the empire. He was only one step away from establishing his position as the successor.
Ye Wei was not in the Divine Continent Empire .
Ye Nianlun has kept a low profile in recent years.
In contrast, Ye Zhonghua's second son, Ye Nianhua, and his youngest son, Ye Shuyan, were particularly active.
Ye Shuyan was also a veteran of the empire, Central Committee Member. The deputy director of the Supervision Department of the Empire's Central Committee was the left and right arm of Minister Guo Tianlong, the leader of the Wang family and a standing committee member of the Policy Bureau. He acted swiftly and vigorously, giving full play to the style of discipline inspection cadres. After the great change, due to his age and Ye Nianlun's reign, he could not enter the Policy Bureau, but he could definitely release a province to serve as the first secretary of the provincial party committee.
With Ye Shuyan's ability, whether it was to develop and consolidate his backyard within the royal family's traditional sphere of influence or to release him to fight for territory with other factions, it was the best choice.
As for the other, Ye Clan's second son, Ye Nianhua, could no longer be described as active and high-profile. He could simply be said to be absurd.
Ye Nianhua had never stepped foot in politics. He was now in charge of the Ye Clan's economic power, but there were at least ten large state-owned enterprises within the empire under his direct leadership, covering military industry, construction, energy, aerospace, communication, electricity, telecommunications, and so on.
Apart from that, several large groups derived from the Ye Clan were also under his name. Although the Ye Clan was a wealthy political clan, Ye Nianhua could easily destroy a medium-sized economic clan with money in a single thought.
This Ye Clan's Second Young Master's ability was undoubtedly outstanding, but the most helpless thing was that his actions were too ridiculous, especially in terms of femininity.
In his forties, he was still unmarried, but he was a famous playboy in the entire empire and even in Asia. He had appeared in various gossip magazines countless times.
How many women did Ye Nianhua have?
This was a topic that hadn't been out of date for twenty years in the Nine Continents City and even in the empire.
At the very least, Lin Xuanyuan knew that the Divine Boat Empire's major cities, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, India, and other major Asian cities, Europe, the United States, and North America...
Almost every big city had Ye Nianhua's lover.
How many women does he have?
A thousand? Or even more?
This was a problem that he didn't even know about. In fact, because he had too many women, he often couldn't remember the names of his own women.
The reason why Lin Xuanyuan knew this was because many times, when the elites of the Divine Continent Guards, the Imperial Consul's Law Enforcement Team, and other elites were hunted down by the enemy forces, they were all accommodated by Ye Nianhua. He called them and said a few sweet words to ensure that his lover would warmly entertain these elites of the Imperial Family and Empire.
It was truly sprinkling seeds all over the world.
It can be said to be another form of greatness.
Lin Xuanyuan shook hands with the two of them one by one. When he was gathering high-ranking officials to talk, Lin Xuanyuan had a meeting with the two of them. This meeting was not unusual. After a brief greeting, the few of them directly entered the living room of the Ye Family villa.
Ye Chunqiu immediately ordered all the servants inside to retreat, and Lin Shuhua poured a cup of tea for them with a keen expression.
"When will Xiaocao return?"
After sitting down, Ye Chunqiu took a sip of tea and teased with a smile.
Asura Lin Xiaocao had not returned from his serious injuries. Now that he was recovering in Japan, this was an external thought. Ye Chunqiu was a little curious when this closed-door disciple of his would be able to make his other identity appear in Nine Continents City.
At that time, there would naturally be another glorious scene.
"I originally planned to come back in a few days, but now it seems that Lin Xiaocao won't be able to appear in the near future."
Lin Xuanyuan shook his head and said calmly.
He looked up at Ye Chunqiu and suddenly said, "Elder Ye, how long are you going to stay in Nine Continents City?"
"After the plenary session."
Ye Chunqiu lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
This year's plenary meeting was extremely important, directly related to Ye Nianlun 's smooth succession. This was the top priority of the entire royal family, so Ye Chun Qiu naturally wanted to stay.
Although he wasn't some familiar founding fathers, as the first generation guardian of the empire in the dark, his prestige was definitely no less than any other elder-level figure. His appearance would naturally bring tremendous psychological pressure to many people.
"I heard that the War God Palace was attacked last night."
Ye Chunqiu put down the teacup and suddenly looked at Lin Xuanyuan thoughtfully, "Didn't you direct yourself?"
The Battle God Palace's enemy attack was now considered by many to be the Battle God Palace's self-directing and self-executing, so that the Battle God Palace would have an official name to openly do things outside under the guise of tracking down the attackers.
If this matter succeeded, it would bring tremendous convenience to the royal family.
Therefore, without Lin Xuanyuan explicitly explaining the situation, even the leaders of the royal clan believed that the attack last night was directed and performed by the War God King.
In the entire Nine Continents City, he was the only one who possessed this strength.
"There was indeed an enemy attack."
Lin Xuanyuan said calmly, but his eyes were exceptionally solemn.
This was also the reason why Lin Xiaocao could not appear.
Otherwise, as a World-shaking expert of the empire's secret service system, when someone seriously endangered his own national security appeared, he would not make a move. What was this?
Lin Xuanyuan and Lin Xiaocao were alone. Lin Xuanyuan acted in the name of the War God King. Naturally, Lin Xiaocao could only continue to use the excuse of recovering in Japan.
"Very troublesome?"
Ye Chunqiu narrowed her eyes and looked at Lin Xuanyuan.
Lin Xuanyuan nodded without hesitation, "I'm not sure. I need to work together."
Ye Chunqiu's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light. He reached out to touch the teacup and instructed, "Zhonghua, call Wang Tianxiong and Yun Shanluan over. Immediately."
...
