Chapter 898 Disappointment

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Chen Qingyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something but hesitated. In the end, she chose to remain silent.

The Lin Clan of Nine Continents City was also one of the most influential clans in the Divine Continent Empire this year. Although it was incomparable to the Helian Clan of Nine Continents City and the Lin Clan of Northeast China, the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City had gained tremendous benefits this year.

As the vanguard of the royal family, He already had the strength of a wealthy family, With Lin Xuanyuan's unstinting support, The Lin Clan in the Northeast was now closely linked to the entire Wang Clan, and their strength was also soaring. However, no matter how fast the strength of the wealthy clans grew, it would be difficult to see any changes in a year. The harvest of the Lin Clan in the Northeast was the limitless possibility of future development. This was the place that made people admire them the most.

The Helian Clan was originally the backbone of the empire's secret service system, Because of Helian Chenxi, Lin Xuanyuan's support for them was also very strong. The Helian Clan's current Patriarch, Helian Yunteng, had been transferred from the Divine Continent to the Second Division of the General Staff. The Patriarch, Helian Xiongying, had followed Lin Xuanyuan to the United States, which meant that the Helian Clan was completely on the side of the War God Palace.

However, even though the Helian Clan was the backbone of the empire's secret service system, their overall strength was inferior to the declining Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. With Lin Xuanyuan's support, they had only just started. Although they had obtained a lot of benefits, they were just like the Lin Clan in the Northeast. What they won was the future.

Only the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was different.

Originally, they were also one of the top families in the empire. With the destruction of the northern faction of the empire, although the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City barely managed to survive, their status was different from before.

Lin Huaiyu, the patriarch of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, was once a member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau and secretary of the Northern Municipal Party Committee. However, after the destruction of the northern faction, the entire Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was directly trampled from the sky to the ground.

Originally, it was one of the strongest clans in the empire, but after many years, it was even inferior to ordinary third-rate clans in Nine Continents City.

If nothing unexpected had happened, In a few years, With the death of Lin Huaiyu, the former leader of the country, The Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, which once represented almost the entire northern faction, would also disappear completely. They might not die, but the entire clan would continue to fall far into the distance. Perhaps only a few years or even months later, no one would remember the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. The Lin Clan in Nine Continents City would also become a very inconspicuous merchant clan in Nine Continents City, and it would also be an ordinary clan that was neither top nor top.

But all of this was because of the change in the royal lineage, because Ye Nianlun had changed.

A few years ago, Ye Nianlun had inexplicably promoted Lin Congzheng to the position of Governor of Wuyue Province, which allowed the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City, which was on the verge of collapse, to once again barely stabilize their footing.

This matter was not as simple as a simple promotion.

Ye Nianlun had always been very low-key since he entered the Chang Dynasty. The sharpness of the royal lineage seemed to have gathered around Chen Hua Lou and promoted Lin to politics. This was the first time Ye Nianlun had expressed his opinion on a high-ranking official at the Governor level since he entered the Chang Dynasty.

Moreover, it was Wu Yue, who transferred Lin Congzheng into the royal family's main camp, so there was no objection at all.

No one knew why Ye Nianlun had promoted Lin to politics at that time.

At that time, Lin Congzheng was outstanding in politics, but he wasn't particularly dazzling. At the very least, there were a few dazzling cadres of the same level as him in the royal clan at that time.

As a result, everyone believed that the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City had completely taken refuge in the royal family.

However, as time went on, everyone discovered that although Lin Congzheng had tried very hard to integrate into the royal political group in Wu Yue, all the royal cadres were not very enthusiastic about his arrival. Even some of Ye Nianlun 's old subordinates had an indifferent attitude towards Lin Congzheng.

Moreover, ever since Ye Nianlun promoted Lin Congzheng, she did not show any concern for him.

Lin Congzheng seemed to be like a senior executive casually promoted by Ye Nianlun when he was in a good mood. He seemed to have a high position of authority, but it was dispensable for the entire royal family.

Nobody knows what's going on.

The only explanation was that when Ye Nian Lun promoted Lin to politics, he actually wanted to rope in the northern faction that had long been shattered.

Although the northern faction had been destroyed, since they were able to leave behind the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, it naturally meant that the faction had not been completely destroyed. There were still a few people in different positions in the empire. Although these people could not occupy any important positions, as long as they were still there, they could be considered a force.

Ye Nianlun wanted to succeed in the tit-for-tat battle between the royal faction and the southwest faction. If he could win over the remaining northern faction, even if it was useless, he was unwilling to give up.

After the destruction of the northern faction, the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City became the spiritual leader of the remaining northern faction.

He promoted Lin to politics because he wanted to win the support of this force.

However, because Lin Huaiyu had retired for too long, Ye Nianlun did not receive the expected results after promoting Lin to politics, so his attitude towards Lin Congzheng also dimmed.

As a result, the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, which had barely managed to stabilize itself, was once again on the verge of collapse and was in danger.

Everyone thought that the big shots of the royal family would let Ye Nianlun stay in the position of Governor Wu Yue for a full term and then be transferred to the Qing Shui Yamen to make way for the real core figures of the royal family.

As time passed, the leaf ring was removed, but it was not the same as what they had expected.

At the beginning of this year, Lin Congzheng, who had inexplicably become the candidate for the position of Minister of Personnel, was put forward by another tycoon of the Wang Family, Chen Hualou, at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau.

As usual, the Minister of Personnel had to be a member of the Policy Bureau, and even the alternate members could not suppress the situation.

If the Wang faction and the southwest faction really won the battle and Lin Congzheng became a member of the Policy Bureau and minister of officials, then no matter what he and the others thought, Lin Congzheng would become the new leader of the Wang faction.

Moreover, if Lin Congzheng really sat in that position, the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City would instantly completely surpass their most glorious period.

Academicians of the Central Bureau of Academicians , the Minister of Officials and the Secretary of the Northern Municipal Party Committee are both members of the Decision Making Bureau. It is not easy to distinguish which power is heavier. One is at the center of the temple and plays a pivotal role. The other is a truly heavyweight feudal official. No one can give a definite answer as to which is more important.

However, the leaders of the northern factions and the royal factions could easily tell which was more important.

When the northern faction had just declined, the royal faction had just risen.

Historically speaking, it was the rise of the royal lineage that ultimately squeezed out a large number of spots from the northern faction at that time. This was not an exaggeration for the northern faction to begin its initial decline.

But at that time, the newly rising royal faction had already suppressed the northern faction in terms of high-level discourse power.

Being the leader of the royal faction was naturally more important than being the leader of the northern faction.

However, the southwest faction still firmly held the Ministry of Officials in their hands in the end.

However, the Wang Clan did not lose either. They placed Lin Congzheng on the Empire Development Committee and also occupied the position of the first deputy director.

Lin Congzheng, the first deputy director of the Development Committee, was practically no different from the first director when he was recovering from his illness.

As one of the top super-heavy departments in the empire, the Development Committee was slightly inferior to the core functions of the Party committee like the Ministry of Officials, but Lin Congzheng's future was not bad at all.

The head of the Development Committee has a good chance of becoming a State Councilor.

The State Councilor was the same as the members of the Policy Bureau. They were all deputy state-level. Although they weren't as powerful as the members of the Policy Bureau, for Lin Congzheng, once he was elected as the State Councilor, his future was even broader than being the Minister of Officials.

After all, he had to clear the way for Ye Nianlun to succeed him in the future when he was in charge of a party committee department like the Ministry of Officials. Moreover, he had to protect Ye Nianlun after taking over. The competition was too fierce, and even fierce. If he wasn't careful, he would be doomed.

In the Ministry of Officials, his competitors were high-ranking officials from the southwest faction, and even Lin Qingtian.

While the Development Committee is a government department.

Even if there was competition here, it would not be as fierce as in the Ministry of Officials.

The current Imperial Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan was increasingly unable to withstand Chen Hualou's strength. With Chen Hualou's support, he had an innate advantage in competing with the southern factions.

Lin Congzheng and the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City lived when he was transferred to the Development Committee.

It was not only confidence that had survived, it was also ambition, the ambition that had been suppressed for many years!

He still didn't know why Chen Hualou wanted to promote him, but he knew what he should do.

The first thing to do is to become the principal director of the Development Committee and be elected as a State Councilor.

Yang Xiuyuan was about to retreat.

Chen Hualou was about to take control of the Imperial Government.

At this time, if he could display his abilities as the head of the Development Committee, he would become one of Chen Hualou's true right-hand men.

He would become one of Chen Hualou's most important subordinates.

At that time, there would be more than a Development Committee in the sky.

He might even take a step further, with the State Councillor elected to the Policy Bureau, entering the Cabinet and becoming Deputy Prime Minister.

Then, he took a step further and became a member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire

At that time, he would not be Chen Hualou's subordinate, but one of the leaders of the royal family, just like Lin Guodong, the current Imperial Policy-making Bureau member, State Councilor, and Deputy Prime Minister.

There is a possibility.

Even if it wasn't big, it was definitely not small.

From the moment Lin Guodong was transferred to the Development Committee, not only did he discover this possibility, everyone also discovered it.

The Lin Clan of Nine Continents City was about to rise again.

But without waiting for some outsiders to react correctly.

The royal family had an additional War God King.

Then he went to the United States side by side with the War God King in charge of the Divine Continent Empire.

His hostility and disgust towards the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City had been clearly expressed from the moment he came to the Divine Continent Empire, naked and undisguised.

Everyone who had originally planned to be friends with the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City changed their minds in an instant.

In the past year, although the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was no longer on the verge of collapse, its interior had never been stable.

The entire clan was filled with confusion and confusion.

They didn't even know where the War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan's disgust for them came from. They carefully tried to understand, but to no avail. They didn't even dare to have the courage to hate him.

Lin Xuanyuan's attitude also affected the royal family.

Although Lin Xuanyuan did not say anything clearly, Lin Congzheng had already seen something from the attitude of some people who were gradually estranged from him.

He knew very well that he had to get Lin Xuanyuan's support.

Although Lin Xuanyuan was young, he was already the War God King of the royal family. He did not hold any official position in the empire, but his actual influence was no less than that of any of the king's magnates.

The War God King in the Divine Continent Empire was the same as the Emperor in the Divine Continent Empire!

The entire royal family was now surrounded by the emperor.

This weight allowed Lin Xuanyuan to shatter all the ambitions and hopes of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City with just a single sentence.

He had been trying his best to reconcile with the War God Palace, but Lin Xuanyuan's attitude had not changed at all.

Only when he found Lin Xuanyuan in complete despair and with a broken heart did he vaguely understand why Lin Xuanyuan hated him.

He also had Lin Xuanyuan's support for that conversation.

Even though Lin Xuanyuan didn't intentionally block his path, this was already his greatest support.

With Lin Xuanyuan's attitude, Lin Congzheng successfully stabilized his footing. Not long after the plenary session ended, he was thoroughly straightened out and became the director of the Empire's Development Committee. At the National Assembly in March next year, it would be certain that Lin Congzheng would be co-elected as a State Councilor.

Everyone thought that the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City and the War God King had reconciled.

Even Chen Qingyu thought so.

However, seeing Lin Xuanyuan's indifferent attitude, she suddenly realized that this was not the case.

"Your Highness, do you hate ink?"

Chen Qingyu hesitated for a moment and asked softly as she looked at Lin Xuanyuan who was still staring at the map in front of her.

She was really confused about Lin Xuanyuan and the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. Other people might not know about it, but Chen Qingyu knew that Lin Xiaocao, the bodyguard who had first appeared beside Lin Shuimo, was the Imperial War God King who was currently standing in front of the map thinking about the war situation!

With such a background, why did he hate the Lin Clan so much in Nine Continents City?

"I don't have any objections to her. I just don't like her father. I don't like her grandfather."

Lin Xuanyuan turned off the screen and took a sip of his teacup. He looked at the increasingly charming Chen Qingyu and smiled.

If the Chen Qingyu from before only seemed to be mature and was actually a little green, then after becoming the deputy of the War God King, after this period of training, the current Chen Clan's Eldest Young Miss had already completely completed her transformation. Every move she made carried an indescribable charming aura.

"But …"

Chen Qingyu frowned and did not continue.

"But what?"

Lin Xuanyuan waved his hand and said, "Say whatever you want. If you can't even speak freely to me, what else can I hear?"

Chen Qingyu blushed. Although she knew that what Lin Xuanyuan said was not the same as what she thought, hearing those words made her heart feel sweet.

"I heard that the reason Director Lin was able to be corrected was because of your support, so I thought that you and the Lin family of Nine Continents City had already reconciled."

Chen Qingyu did not hesitate any longer and very meekly said what she thought in her heart.

"You got my support?"

Lin Xuanyuan was still laughing, but his eyes were full of ridicule.

"If you don't object, it's the greatest support."

Chen Qingyu said indifferently.

"Yes."

After a moment of silence, Lin Xuanyuan slowly said, "If I don't object, then I will support it. Perhaps my brain was out of order at that time, right?"

Chen Qingyu suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Xuanyuan with a look of disbelief. She knew very well how much of a disturbance this sentence would cause in Nine Continents City if it wasn't a joke.

"Tell Lin Shuimo for me."

Lin Xuanyuan turned around and walked to the window. He said coldly, "Let her tell her father that I am very disappointed in him. If I can make him the director of the Development Committee, I can also make him retire early. Don't be so uncertain at such an old age."
