"The right to self-protection?"

Lin Xuanyuan muttered to himself, With Lin Qingtian's status, If you want to preserve your right to self-protection when you retire, This request was simply not a request. Although the empire hadn't been established for a long time, none of the people who could sit at the highest positions in the empire were mediocre. On the contrary, they were all elites. Which one of them didn't want to exert their influence to the maximum after retreating?

Whether they succeeded or failed, these people could at least leave their own footprints in history.

Ever since the founding of the empire, Elder Sun, who was still alive but had already gone to the United States to recuperate, had exerted the greatest influence on the empire.

Decades ago, When Elder Sun was promoted to the position of supreme leader by a great man, Whether it was the media within the empire or overseas, They all agreed that Elder Sun was just an excessive figure who could stabilize the empire, But over time, Elder Sun's position became more and more stable. His wrist was old and spicy, Ambition, Having promoted the current Chen Clan with one hand, Seizing military power, He even wooed the Ye Clan's stable securities, After the death of the great man, Elder Sun took advantage of his influence to the left and right, and his influence became more and more like the sun. After ten years of power, he forced himself to arrange the quotas for the top members of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau with absolute toughness. Most of the top members came from Elder Sun's sect, and even Imperial Prime Minister Ye Zhonghua was approaching Elder Sun, who was already half-retreating.

This directly caused Elder Sun, who had already retired, to directly suppress the newly ascended Empire's Supreme Head. Although Elder Sun had retired, his every move was still easily affecting the Empire. He was known as the Grand Emperor, but the Supreme Head's decree was unable to leave the Hidden Dragon Sea. He had been suppressed for a full ten years, and his actions were extremely limited.

It wasn't until the initial establishment of the royal family that Elder Sun's influence gradually weakened. However, this didn't mean that he didn't have any power. On the contrary, with the Chen and Ye families becoming the core of the royal family, Elder Sun also quietly began to approach the royal family. Now, his voice could still be heard through the royal family and echoed throughout the entire empire.

Compared to Elder Sun, whose foundations weren't solid, Lin Qingtian undoubtedly had an advantage. With the strong foundation of the southwest faction as support, if Lin Qingtian wanted to follow Elder Sun's example and take control of military power in the first five years after Ye Nianlun came to power, this was definitely not a fantasy.

However, unlike that time, Ye Nianlun , who had just ascended to the throne, was similarly well-founded. He definitely could not be suppressed by his predecessor for ten years, just like how he had been several decades ago.

In fact, if the succession battle could be said to be intense, then after the great change, the fierce battle between the royal and southwestern factions for control of the empire's discourse power could be foreseen.

Many people in the empire were mentally prepared for such a contest.

At the very least, the Wang Clan was prepared for Ye Nianlun and Chen Hua to attack the southwest faction with all their might. After all, they had just ascended the throne. Because of Lin Qing Tian's influence, if they didn't continue fighting, they wouldn't be able to carry out their work.

However, just as most of the high-ranking official groups and rich families in the empire were preparing for the war, Lin Qingtian raised the white flag.

Admit defeat!

I only want to protect myself!

This was definitely an unacceptable result.

Especially for the southwestern factions.

They were already prepared for the royal counterattack, but their supreme leader suddenly ordered them not to resist!

Such a decision is hard to approve of, both in terms of personal sentiment and factional interests.

The Wang Clan was different. Lin Qingtian admitted defeat and gave up the initiative in the Policy Bureau and the Central Plenary Session. This was equivalent to a new term. Even without waiting for a new term, the Wang Clan had already taken control of the empire's situation.

The pressure from the southwestern faction will be greatly reduced.

In exchange, the imperial clan's return, which should have fallen on Ye Nianlun and Chen Hua Lou, would have fallen on Lin Qing Tian as the capital for him and the southwest faction to continue to survive.

Once this deal was reached, the battle between the empires would be greatly reduced. The pressure on Ye Nianlun and Chen Hua Lou would also disappear by more than half. There was no restriction. With the full power of the royal family, ten years was enough for the Divine Continent Empire to usher in another glorious era!

Moreover, the royal clan could use these ten years to push Huangfu Jun up again.

At the very least, in the next twenty years, the royal family would not encounter too many formidable challenges.

There was no reason for Wang Xi to reject such a deal.

Lin Qingtian, on the other hand, declared war on the United States after recovering his territory for the empire.

Such a move would undoubtedly make him the most controversial supreme head of the Divine Continent Empire in future generations.

Regardless of the victory or defeat of the war, the southwest faction and Lin Qingtian would be covered with a layer of sadness.

Five points of merit, five points of demerit.

This would also be the capital for Lin Qingtian and the southwest faction to protect themselves.

Lin Xuanyuan sat indifferently on the sofa. Lin Qingtian's decision to admit defeat was completely beyond his expectations. Lin Xuanyuan was not in that position, so there was no way to evaluate it. However, in his opinion, if Lin Qingtian chose to fight to the end, the final result would not necessarily be any worse than admitting defeat.

"Why would he admit defeat?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Xuanyuan suddenly asked.

The Emperor's mouth twitched, wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

"For the empire."

Ye Nianlun answered Lin Xuanyuan's question. His easygoing tone was instilled with a solemn tone because of these words, The king-level tycoon, who had already established his position as the Savage Monarch, looked at Lin Xuanyuan's disdainful expression and said, "Xuanyuan, You can disapprove of Lin Qingtian's character, but you absolutely cannot deny the efforts of any Empire leader towards this country. A selfish person who only thinks of himself is impossible to achieve this position. In your eyes, Lin Qingtian should be cut into thousands of pieces, but what do you think he relied on to achieve this position? Southwest faction? Indeed, the southwest faction had given him great help, but with so many people from the southwest faction, why did only Lin Qingtian come? What he really relied on was himself. His methods were unbridled and sinister. All of this was because we stood on his opposite side. Everyone's positions were different. There was nothing right or wrong about him. How should we evaluate a true leader? How many people did he take down, Can't really determine his quality, Only the most ordinary people, "Only then can we evaluate an official and a leader correctly. From the Heavenly Palace Province, Southwest City, and South Guangdong Province, he has indeed done a lot for the people. Even now, very few people in Southwest City say that Lin Qingtian is not good. Lin Qingtian has a nickname given to him by the people in Heavenly Palace Province and Southwest City, right?"

Ye Nianlun paused and looked at the calm Lin Xuan Yuan. He sighed softly, "Lin Qing Tian, in the southwest city, was addressed as Lin Qing Tian by the people. Heh, Qing Tian, if he was just a bureaucrat who knew how to fight, how could the people think of him as the Great Master of Qing Tian in their hearts?" Moreover, if Lin Qingtian really didn't care about the empire, the empire would definitely not be like what you saw in the past few years. "

There is little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles.

This is politics.

Regardless of how many things the other party had done, as long as their positions were different, they would continue to fight.

In order to minimize the internal friction of the empire, Lin Qingtian took the initiative to admit defeat.

This seemingly reluctant answer was Ye Nianlun 's.

"Really?"

Lin Xuanyuan subconsciously looked at the Emperor. Even he didn't know why he asked the Emperor for confirmation, but he did.

"Sort of."

The emperor smiled casually, "I'm not a politician. The other party only needs to admit defeat. What does he do for? What does it have to do with me?"

Lin Xuanyuan smiled self-deprecatingly and took out a cigarette. He looked at Ye Nianlun and said indifferently, "Uncle Ye, I understand your opinion, but I can't agree with you. If Lin Qing Tian was as patriotic as you said, he wouldn't declare war on the United States. He should understand what it means to declare war on the United States. Furthermore, you …"

Finally, Lin Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment and took a deep breath of cigarette. He didn't continue.

"Foolish brat, are you saying that we, including the Emperor, shouldn't force Lin Qingtian to declare war on the United States? Because once there is a war, the empire is doomed to be in dire straits. This kind of thing shouldn't be used as a bargaining chip in a political game, so you think that not only Lin Qingtian, but even we are national sinners who have ignored the empire's life and death, right?"

Ye Nianlun scolded.

"Isn't that so?"

Lin Xuanyuan asked without hesitation, his eyes sharp.

"Of course not."

Ye Nianlun shook his head, his expression still calm, and his tone was not high, "I say this with a clear conscience."

'"War, we can't just not fight because we're afraid of death. If there wasn't a war over a hundred years ago, where would the current Divine Continent Empire come from? Since the founding of the Empire, it has been pursuing a peaceful strategy, but that doesn't mean that we don't have the courage to fight. It's just that there's no need to fight before. When necessary, we should also let the whole world see that the Empire's swords dare to be unsheathed and see blood!"

"The empire has reached a bottleneck, To break the deadlock, Unusual means must be used, Our peaceful diplomacy has allowed the empire to develop to this point. Now, the empire also needs a war to upgrade the empire. In recent years, the U.S. Has been suppressing the empire, sanctioning the empire, and restraining its development. The effect of peaceful diplomacy has become weaker and weaker. Since that's the case, why not change it? Fight! "If the United States does not agree with our rise, we will fight until he agrees!"

"Our determination should be known to the whole world!"

Ye Nianlun 's deep voice echoed slowly, but his calm tone gave off a murderous aura of the Golden Gothic Iron Horse!

"Although the country is big, it will die if it likes to fight! Although the world is peaceful, it will be dangerous if it forgets to fight!"

Chen Hualou suddenly said.

His words sounded loud and clear.
