Lin came to politics very quickly.

As a matter of fact, as a Great Governor of the empire with no danger and no real power, if they insisted on entering the War God Palace, the guards would not stop them without special instructions.

Of course, it was impossible for them to directly appear in front of the War God King without greeting him. They would normally be taken to the lounge, and during this time, they would report directly to the decision-making level of the Prince's Mansion, and the news would spread very quickly.

In this regard, the War God Palace never dragged on. News would reach Lin Xuanyuan's ears in a very short period of time. After that, they would still disappear. There was no need for visitors to wait for too long. They would basically receive an answer very quickly.

As for Lin Congzheng's arrival, At first, Chen Qingyu was planning to cancel the meeting. The fact that War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan was extremely uninterested in Lin Congzheng and even the entire Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was already public news within the royal family. Although the friendship between Chen Qingyu and Lin Shuimo had not been affected, Chen Qingyu naturally could not give Lin Xuanyuan a green light for Lin Shuimo's father to come to the War God Palace because of Lin Shuimo.

Moreover, Lin Xuanyuan happened to be very busy today.

Welcome to the emperor, the mourning hall, and the welcome banquet. The whole afternoon to the evening were packed. Time was indeed very tight. Refusing to meet Lin Congzheng wasn't something that couldn't be accepted.

However, to Chen Qingyu's surprise, Lin Congzheng's attitude towards the meeting was extremely firm. Regardless of how Chen Qingyu tried to persuade him, he refused to leave. Before he came here, he had already pushed back a meeting that had developed into an internal meeting. After more than an hour, there was still a short meeting that needed to be held. However, these Lin Congzheng had already prepared not to participate in the meeting and had made up his mind to waste time with the War God King.

After learning that War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan was currently guarding the mourning hall, Lin Congzheng directly requested to go to the mourning hall to worship the elders.

In front of Chen Qingyu, Lin Congzheng was still indifferent. Looking at this friend who addressed him as Uncle Lin's daughter in private, his attitude was gentle and natural.

However, Chen Qingyu could clearly feel Lin Congzheng's resolute and unyielding attitude as he spoke at a slower and slower pace.

Obviously, if he were to meet Lin Xuanyuan this time, the scene would definitely be somewhat unusual.

After pondering for a while, Chen Qingyu finally decided to report to Lin Xuanyuan.

Lin Xuanyuan also seemed to be very interested, directly letting Lin Congzheng come to the mourning hall to see him.

About ten minutes later, Central Committee Member arrived at the second building of the Flowing Springs Region in the lounge. He became the first high-ranking official in politics to pay his respects after Xuanyuan Long Yin's death.

He wore solemn clothes, bowed, and had a heavy expression.

Lin Congzheng, who first chose to worship the deceased, did a series of good deeds. Lin Xuanyuan coldly watched Lin Congzheng walk in front of him and greet him expressionlessly.

"My condolences."

Lin Congzheng routinely talked to Lin Xuanyuan. His solemn expression had already been put away. Every time he saw Lin Xuanyuan, his face, which would always reveal a smile, now looked even more rigid and cold than Lin Xuanyuan's.

"Director Lin came early. You came to pay your respects as soon as Martial Uncle left. It seems a bit baffling. It seems like everyone is very familiar and close."

Lin Xuanyuan shook hands with Lin Congzheng and teased him casually.

Lin Congzheng's expression did not change. He said expressionlessly, "It's just a few days ahead of schedule. It's no big deal. I originally planned to come and talk to you. I'll first pay my respects to the deceased and then talk to him. As for the result … Maybe I'll come back on the day of the funeral. Maybe after the discussion, we'll never have a chance to meet again in our lives. Your Highness is a high-ranking person. Even if we want to see you, we won't be able to meet again."

Lin Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the indifferent Lin Congzheng with interest. "Looks like Director Lin is completely prepared?" He said playfully.

"Are you prepared for the worst?"

Lin Congzheng lifted his eyelids and looked at Lin Xuanyuan. He calmly said, "I have been preparing for this for more than three years. In more than three years, this preparation is already sufficient."

Indeed, when Chen Hualou first suggested that Lin Congzheng be the governor of Wuyue Province more than three years ago, Lin Congzheng's heart had already begun to feel a little uneasy.

At that time, he was only a deputy governor of a middle and lower level province in the empire. He stumbled cautiously in that province where the factional struggle was extremely complicated, but in the end, he was pulled out by Chen Hualou without any preparation, becoming the second-in-command of the empire's largest economic province.

Although it seemed that the administrative and party posts had been raised by one level, in reality, it was a triple jump for Lin Congzheng.

As one of the most influential appointments to interfere in personnel matters after Chen Hualou became a giant as usual, this matter was passed very quickly in the Policy Bureau. It was so fast that no one could react to it.

Lin Congzheng rushed to Wuyue Province without stopping, but he encountered an unprecedented cold reception in the Royal Family's fundamental land.

Afterwards, this action of the royal family was interpreted by the outside world as a signal to gather the remnants of the northern faction.

The Lin Clan in Nine Continents City had been under tremendous pressure back then.

From that time onwards, Lin was prepared to be sacrificed by others because of the increasingly fierce politics and struggles.

But what he didn't expect was that although he didn't have much strength in Wu Yue, his work went smoothly. For more than three years, Wu Yue's economic and people's livelihood work had achieved remarkable results.

Lin Congzheng's nervous heart gradually calmed down.

However, not long after his heart calmed down, the dispute over the Ministry of Officials broke out at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, and the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was once again at the forefront of the storm.

This time, the process was still thrilling and safe. Lin Congzheng was appointed as the first deputy director of the empire's development, becoming one of Chen Hualou's right-hand men in the Cabinet.

But even so, Chen Hualou's attitude towards Lin Congzheng was still unfathomable. Reuse was important, but in private, the other party was clearly keeping a distance from Lin Congzheng.

If Chen Hualou was a female leader, then Ye Nianlun , who had nominated him as Minister of Officials and then nominated him to enter the Development Stage, maintained the same attitude as Chen Hualou.

Lin Congzheng discussed this with Lin Huaiyu countless times, and finally came to a very likely conclusion.

It was very likely that Lin Congzheng was valued by the Emperor and was personally paying attention to him. That was why the royal giants promoted Lin Congzheng.

This was undoubtedly an exciting speculation.

However, the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was excited for a few days. They left the capital side by side with the War God King. From the very beginning, Lin Xuanyuan's disgust towards the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City had already been shown.

This attitude was like a basin of cold water pouring on Lin Congzheng's head. As time passed, this basin of cold water seemed to have started to freeze.

The struggling Lin Congzheng now knew that as time passed, the Emperor's visit to the capital would be his last chance. Before that, he had to obtain the support of the War God King, Lin Xuanyuan.

At the very least, he couldn't be allowed to obstruct his ascension.

Otherwise, under the situation where the emperor valued Lin Chengzheng and Lin Xuanyuan hated the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, this would be equivalent to forcing the emperor to make a choice.

Was he going to choose the War God King or Lin for politics?

This was almost an answer that could be reached without much thought.

There were many geniuses in the Royal Family, but how many could a World-shaking expert in his twenties have?

After thinking for a while, Lin Congzheng finally made up his mind to come to the War God Palace again.

Give it a shot.

This time, Lin Congzheng was mentally prepared.

He put all his political life on this meeting, success or failure, and soon the outcome will be decided.

Lin Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Congzheng, who was indeed unusual today. After a long time, he slowly smiled.

"Since Director Lin is mentally prepared,"

He smiled at Lin Congzheng's eyes and slowly said, "Then please go back. What you expected is correct. I insist on my opinion, so... goodbye."

As he said that, he shook his head slightly. "It's just like what he said. I'm afraid it'll be hard for everyone to see each other again after leaving this door today."

He waved his arm and ordered the guests to leave without hesitation.

Lin Congzheng's indifferent expression finally changed slightly. His excitement flashed and was completely suppressed by him.

He stared fixedly into Lin Xuanyuan's eyes and calmly said, "Your Highness really won't give me a chance?"

"Opportunity?"

Lin Xuanyuan repeated.

Lin Congzheng took a deep breath and straightened his body, "Give me twenty minutes. No, ten minutes is enough."

Lin Xuanyuan looked at him indifferently, not moving at all. Just as Lin Congzheng was about to despair, he finally nodded and turned around to say, "Follow me."

Lin Congzheng was stunned for a while before finally breathing a sigh of relief. He followed Lin Xuanyuan into the living room of the villa.

In the living room, the transparent glass gradually changed color, and the sound and scenery were completely isolated from the outside world.

Lin Xuanyuan sat on the sofa and lit a cigar. He casually threw a cigar to Lin Congzheng and sat on the sofa. He looked at his watch and calmly said, "Speak."

He still acted without the slightest bit of sincerity.

Lin Congzheng felt a burst of humiliation in his heart. He silently lit his cigar and took a deep breath. Because he was smoking too quickly, he coughed directly from the smoke. He poured a glass of water and adjusted his breathing. He looked at Lin Xuanyuan and slowly said, "I have to go to that position this year."

"State Councilor? Or Development Director?"

Lin Xuanyuan asked with narrowed eyes.

"This is a position! You know, this is the promise that the royal clan has made to me. This is my position!"

Lin Congzheng's tone was excited, and his body couldn't help but lean forward to attack. He lowered his voice and roared.

"The royal family doesn't owe you anything."

Lin Xuanyuan coldly looked at Lin Congzheng and said, "On the contrary, you owe a lot to the royal family. Where did you get any promises from the official circles? Back then, the royal family thought that you were suitable for a certain position, so they placed you there. Now that I don't think you're suitable, the royal family will naturally reconsider your position and promise. Who promised you what? Deputy Prime Minister Chen Hualou? Or Deputy Head Ye Nianlun?"

"You!"

The veins on Lin Congzheng's forehead bulged like earthworms, "Why do you think I'm not suitable for this position?"

"Why not?"

Lin Xuanyuan said coldly, "I don't need to explain to you what this king is doing. If you really want a reason, I can tell you that I am the War God King of the royal family!"

'"..."

Lin Congzheng glared fiercely at Lin Xuanyuan. After a long time, he sighed powerlessly. Her body was soft to the point of being on the sofa, "Your Highness, I know that you don't like me and don't like the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. But you should know how important this year's plenary meeting is to me. I have many thoughts in my heart. I need that to be displayed in that position. Whether it's for the empire or the royal family, it's not a doubt. Therefore, no matter what, I want to get it. Tell me, tell me your condition, a condition that allows me to sit in that position. For the sake of the royal family and the empire, state your conditions! "

"I didn't get it."

Lin Xuanyuan looked at Lin Congzheng mockingly, "Why do you think you need that position?" How confident are you in your abilities? Do you think that position is inseparable from you? The empire and the people can't do without you? Do you think you can make a great contribution to the empire in that position? '"Lin Congzheng, you should understand that this empire lacks everything, but there is absolutely no lack of talent. If you leave, there will be someone more suitable than you to do your job and play a much greater role than you. You need this position, and others also need it. Why must I give it to you?" Lin Congzheng asked.

"Using the entire empire and the royal lineage to suppress me? You're not qualified enough. At the very least, there are definitely people within the big factions who are no weaker than you. Furthermore, there's more than one of them. Don't think too highly of yourself. If you can do it, others can do it as well. There are also many people who are more patriotic than you."

Lin Xuanyuan took a sip of his cigar and blew the faint smoke in the direction of Lin Congzheng. He suddenly smiled and said, "It's not that there's no other way. If you want a chance, I can give you one. Your two daughters are still not bad. Ink and water are danqing. Heh, let them come over together and serve me naked all night. I will carefully consider whether or not to give you a chance."

"You!"

Lin Congzheng's expression changed drastically as he suddenly stood up and angrily picked up an ashtray and smashed it towards Lin Xuanyuan's head.

"Bang!"

Amidst the muffled noise, Lin Xuanyuan remained motionless. The ashtray shattered on his head, and broken ceramic ashtray fragments flew everywhere.

Lin Congzheng stood there in a daze. He didn't seem to have thought that Lin Xuanyuan wouldn't be able to hide at all, so he was at a loss for what to do.

Lin Xuanyuan carelessly touched his forehead, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled, "Looks like Director Lin has refused. Then we have nothing to talk about."

He patted the dumbfounded Lin Congzheng on the shoulder and said, "Prepare yourself. The Supervision Department should talk to you soon. Don't worry, it's not a big deal, but you should be ready to retire early. Being an ordinary person is good, isn't it?"

He tidied his clothes and Shi Shi Ran walked out of the living room.

Lin Congzheng's lips trembled as his face turned ashen. Finally, just as Lin Xuanyuan was about to leave, Lin Congzheng suddenly shouted, "Wait a moment!"

Lin Xuanyuan turned around and looked at him indifferently.

Then, in Lin Xuanyuan's line of sight, Lin Congzheng suddenly turned around and knelt straight down towards Lin Xuanyuan!

"I beg you!"

Lin Congzheng's face was completely distorted, but his knees were firmly kneeling on the ground. A politician who had climbed up the empire's political arena for more than 20 years instantly burst into tears, "Give me a chance, Lin Xuanyuan, please!"

Lin Xuanyuan's body stiffened for a moment. Looking at Lin Congzheng kneeling on the ground, he slowly said, "Director Lin, the country doesn't need you."

"But my family needs me!"

Lin Congzheng roared as he opened his eyes, "What do you know?" ! Do you know what the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City is? Twenty years ago, my father and I personally sent my sister to prison! That same year, my younger brother broke away from his family for more than 20 years. Every Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chongyang, do you know what the atmosphere is at the Lin Family's dining table in Nine Continents City? You don't know anything! I will do everything, kneel down for you and be your dog. I must protect my family!

In my lifetime, if I can't even avenge my sister, who am I? "Lin Xuanyuan, please, give me a chance!"

Tears kept spilling out of his eyes and dripping onto the floor.

Lin Congzheng's entire body trembled, his expression extremely painful.

A long silence.

As Lin Congzheng's heart grew colder and colder, a faint voice sounded in his ears, "What do you want?"

"Power!"

Lin Congzheng opened his eyes and said without hesitation, "I want power, the power to make my family safe and happy!"

"You hate Lin Fengxue?"

"Why don't I hate him? The Lin Clan in Nine Continents City owes all of this to him! One day, I will slice him alive!"

"Why wait until that day? Once you have the power, I'll let you take revenge immediately. Do you dare?"

"What do I not dare to do?!"

Another long silence.

As time ticked by, the expressionless Lin Xuanyuan turned around and walked out without saying a word.
