Lin Qingtian once again remembered when Ye Nianlun had just become a giant. At that time, There were almost as many people who didn't think well of Ye Nianlun 's future as he did, Lin Qingtian occupied the highest position in the empire, and he had been on the throne for five years. For five years, he had constantly suppressed the king faction, a colossus made up of several large factions. He had also deliberately cultivated the strength of the southwest faction, allowing the southwest faction to achieve a beautiful surpass.

At that time, when Lin Qingtian was at his peak, the uneasiness of the royal family and the silence of the royal family had become part of his life's accomplishments. He truly felt that the world was under his control, so he paved the way for every heavyweight figure in the southwest faction and even chose his own successor.

Gao Changhe was his favorite candidate. This was not a talent he had discovered halfway. It was Lin Qingtian's true direct descendant who had followed him when he was still at the bureau level. Lin Qingtian was climbing up the ladder, and every time Gao Changhe was promoted, he could not do so without Lin Qingtian's driving force behind him.

This gratitude alone could make Gao Changhe die loyally.

If Gao Changhe could succeed Lin Qingtian, then Lin Qingtian could be sure that even if he retreated, he would still be in the position of Grand Emperor.

The southwestern faction will be even more glorious.

What a wonderful prospect?

As for the royal lineage, to be honest, Lin Qingtian did not plan to completely destroy it from the start. He did not want to, nor could he do so. Not to mention how much impact the destruction of the royal lineage would have on the empire today, even Li Donglei's existence made Lin Qingtian not dare to act rashly.

At most, he only wanted to constantly shrink the living space of the royal family, preferably to the extent that the southern faction was now.

The southern faction had always been a heavyweight political group of the empire since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was still the same today. Moreover, the southern faction was much stronger than it was twenty years ago, but its voice was much smaller than before. This was not because the southern faction was not strong, but because the southwestern faction and the royal faction were too prominent.

With Li Donglei's existence, the chances of the royal lineage being annihilated were practically zero. Lin Qingtian's plan was to let the royal lineage continue to weaken, weakening to the lowest point, to the lowest point.

What was the lowest point of the royal family?

At the very least, he would retain the seat of a Standing Committee magnate, occupy a small number of members in the policy bureau, and firmly control Huating, the municipality directly under the Central Government, Wu Yue, the empire's largest province, as well as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Minnan provinces, and influence Nanhe Province, which was adjacent to Wu Yue.

Huating used to be where Li Donglei worked, and its influence is still deeply rooted. Ye Wei, the former secretary of Huating, is also the emperor's confidante. In the empire's politics, Ye Wei's name is almost as famous as Chen Hualou's. With Li Donglei's influence, Huating's position is undoubtedly firm.

Wu Yue Province was the territory where the Imperial Clan had risen to prominence. The Royal Clan's fundamental land was also the place where Zou Rente, Ye Nianlun , and Guo Zhinu had once served. It was also impossible for the southwest faction to occupy it.

In Minnan Province, before Ye Nianlun became the first secretary of Wuyue Province, he was the governor of Minnan Province.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang were the provinces where the current Royal Elder and former Minister of Supervision of the Empire, Ye Jinhua, had risen.

South River Province, this was also a very close area where the royal clan had captured them, and there were also royal clan elders who had worked there before.

The position of a member of the standing committee of a policy bureau, a municipality directly under the Central Government, the control of three and a half provinces, and the membership of individual policy bureaux in the capital's central departments.

Twenty years ago, this strength was definitely a super colossus, but now, it was only the lowest level of strength of the royal family, and it was the lowest level of strength that he had anticipated.

Lin Qingtian was very satisfied with this expectation and was even prepared to put it into practice. The only position he left for the king was the position of Prime Minister, which belonged to Chen Hualou.

Ye Nianlun ?

Although he was young, it would be good to be a deputy prime minister.

His plan was perfect, and the promotion of Gao Changhe to the top was also very smooth. Apart from the initial founding period, it was the first time in the history of the empire that two Vice Heads of State had appeared, and they had joined the empire at the same time.

Gao Changhe's starting point was also higher than Ye Nianlun 's. He assisted Lin Qing Tian in all aspects of his work. He was in charge of foreign affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Communist Youth League, Zhan Tong, the Women's Federation, the Overseas Chinese Federation, and many other aspects of his work.

However, Ye Nianlun 's power was mainly focused on party affairs. As the first academician of the Central Bureau of Academicians , his power was also restricted by the southwest faction, so he could only firmly control the Central Party School more often.

Ye Nianlun did not show any dissatisfaction with this. She continued to keep a low profile, remained silent and honest, as if she had accepted her own fate.

After that, not many months had passed since the end of the Central Plenary Session. In the spring of the following year, after the National Convention ended, Chen Hualou directly entered the cabinet from South Guangdong. Within a month of assuming office, he displayed a stunning explosive force.

In stark contrast, Ye Nianlun was even more silent.

Lin Qingtian pondered silently. He suddenly realized that he could not remember when Ye Nianlun had grown up. Furthermore, he had grown to the point where he felt a fatal threat.

What appeared in his mind was Ye Nianlun 's silence and indifference. There was also a gentle but obedient smile. It was behind this smile that his strength grew stronger and his prestige grew higher and higher. Until today, he sat calmly, looked at himself, and said to himself that he had to!

I have to!

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became subtle.

In everyone's eyes, this was the most formal challenge that the future Savage Lord had launched against the current Empire's highest leader. At this time, more than a year before the change of old and new, Ye Nianlun , who had completely grown up, began to shake Lin Qing Tian's position without hesitation.

Tough.

Lin Qingtian finally remembered that many years ago, when Ye Nianlun was still the governor of a province, he was a leader known for being tough. He was so tough that even the top leaders at that time were willing to be subordinate.

At that time, as Ye Nianlun 's deputy, Chen Hua Lou was a moderate and inconspicuous person.

Now, why is it all upside down?

Moreover, it was naturally reversed, and no one noticed the slightest bit of abruptness.

Lin Qingtian looked at Chen Hualou consciously. Deputy Prime Minister Chen's expression was fierce and his attitude was the same as Ye Nianlun 's.

He didn't quite understand the cooperation between Chen Hualou and Ye Nianlun , but he was sure that there must be an extraordinary tacit understanding between the two of them.

The two of them weren't just top-notch monarchs of the royal family. They were also good friends for many years, and they were also close relatives of their children.

Chen Hualou's son, Wang Tongtian, and Ye Nianlun 's only daughter, Ye Qing Xue, are getting married soon?

Lin Qingtian suddenly smiled. His expression was a little ugly, and his heart was also uncomfortable. He suddenly felt that he was also quite sad. At least now, he no longer had the mood he had a few years ago. He was sitting in the position of the highest leader of the empire, but he was helpless by his deputy. His initiative was pitifully small. How aggrieved was this?

Apart from the puppet-like supreme leader who had reigned for more than 20 years, he was probably the most embarrassed person.

"I agree to vote."

A voice rang out in the meeting room.

Chen Hualou said indifferently, his expression calm.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

Zou Rente and Guo Tianlong also spoke one after another, and the last to speak was the still unfathomable expression of Imperial Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan.

Along with Ye Nianlun , five of the nine giants had already agreed to vote.

At this moment, their agreement represented their position.

Once the vote was carried out, the fate of Yun Shanluan could be imagined.

Lin Qingtian glanced at them and a cold smile appeared on his face.

Are you in such a hurry?

As soon as Ye Nianlun hardens up, do you all feel that the time is ripe?

So anxious to usurp the throne? !

The current supreme head of the empire was still surnamed Lin.

He took a deep breath. Slowly, he shook his head resolutely. "In Elder Yun's case, Comrade Tianlong can follow, "However, no matter what, Elder Yun has made great contributions to the empire. Investigating a case is fine, but we must take into account the feelings of the meritorious officials of the empire. Regardless of whether Yun is always at fault or not, we can't let him have extreme thoughts. I will also communicate with Elder Yun as soon as possible. After understanding the situation, there is no need for a vote. Let's put down this matter first."

Push!

With more than half of the opponents present, Lin Qingtian chose to suppress them.

This was completely shameless to use the authority of his first-in-command.

It was a helpless move, but it was the most effective.

Even Chen Hualou and Ye Nianlun couldn't say anything else at this moment.

If Lin Qingtian didn't even have the power to suppress him, then it would be meaningless for him to be the first in command.

The two top leaders exchanged glances before nodding expressionlessly.

"Let's discuss the next topic."

Lin Qingtian heaved a long sigh of relief and rubbed his forehead, which was already in severe pain. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette pack in front of him and lit it. He said in a muffled voice, "Is it to discuss personnel matters?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Nianlun .

In terms of personnel, the Ministry of Personnel, the Central Bureau of Academicians , and the Standing Committee members of the Policy Bureaux all had the right to speak. At the very least, they were discussing the arrangement of posts at the deputy governor level. In the past, Ye Nianlun did not have much right to speak, but now, his right to speak in this area had grown to a terrifying level.

"Alright."

Ye Nianlun nodded and opened the folder in front of him.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became even more oppressive.

After experiencing the Yun Shanluan , the giants knew very well that the real meeting had only just begun.

In other words, the negotiations had only just begun.

It wasn't that Yun Shanluan couldn't be taken down, the key was to see how the deal would be made.

What Lin Qingtian said about suppressing his emotions and communicating with Yun Shanluan in person was basically nonsense. He was undoubtedly waiting for the wang family to give him a bargaining chip.

And this chip was now in Ye Nianlun 's hands.

The most sensitive personnel transfer was definitely not a small temptation.

At the meeting, Lin Xuanyuan yawned and stretched.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

11:30 p.m.

The meeting has been going on for three hours.

I'm really tired.

Lin Xuanyuan thought silently.

"Tired?"

A voice rang out. Ye Chunqiu, who was sitting beside Lin Xuanyuan, smiled and casually asked. The two of them were special invitees, so they didn't have to worry about the serious atmosphere here.

"It's pretty boring."

Lin Xuanyuan smiled and nodded.

Ye Chunqiu smiled and patted Lin Xuanyuan's palm. "It's almost over."

The initial probing had already passed, so it wouldn't be too difficult to negotiate a true chapter.
