Chapter 933 The Only Way

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Shentu Yue walked extremely calmly from the desk to the study entrance.

Even she herself was a little surprised by her state of mind.

She doesn't know what happened tonight.

In the past many years, between her and Lin Fengxue, Lin Fengxue had always held the leading position. Shentu Yue had always been silent and obedient, without any resistance or rejection. As for the mockery in her words, she didn't say a word.

In a sense, Shentu Yue could be said to be the kind of woman that every man dreamed of, Although her appearance might not be considered exceptional in the world, no one would deny her charm. She was definitely an extremely beautiful woman. She had strength, scheming, and methods, but she was obedient to her man. Her loyalty was unquestionable. Any man who could have such a good wife would be envied by others.

Therefore, although Shentu Yue was not Lin Fengxue's official wife, she was often able to win more praise and appreciation than Lin Fengxue's official wife, Lin Murong, the younger sister of the Empire's Supreme Head, Lin Qingtian.

Among those who praised Shentu Yue endlessly was even the current Empire's Supreme Head, Lin Qingtian.

As time passed, it seemed that Shentu Yue was completely accustomed to playing her current role. Submitting to Lin Fengxue and not questioning any of his decisions seemed to have become an instinct in her life.

Before this, she had never suspected Lin Fengxue. In her heart, she was intimate with him, even more intimate than him and Lin Murong.

But tonight.

But just now.

Shentu Yue did not know what had happened to her. In a daze, she seemed to have connected herself to the woman who had an extremely distinguished background and an extremely desolate ending more than 20 years ago.

In Shentu Yue's impression, Twenty years ago, Although Lin Fengxue and the entire southwest faction were in a tense situation, However, it did not reach the point where Great Xiamen would fall into the hands of generals, On the contrary, at that time, Lin Qingtian's position was relatively stable. What was unstable was the relationship between Lin Qingtian and Lin Fengxue. At that time, the two of them seemed to be advancing and retreating together, but in reality, Lin Fengxue had always been following Lin Qingtian's footsteps. In the end, Lin Fengxue was only a chess piece and a running dog in Lin Qingtian's hands at that time.

Just because of his status, Lin Fengxue acted decisively and became the vanguard against the entire northern faction. In the end, he personally sent his beloved woman to the Nine Continents Prison.

Shentu Yue had always controlled herself not to think about these things. Lin Fengxue had never given any explanation for this kind of thing, but tonight, everything made her mind a little uncontrollable.

Twenty years ago, when the southwest faction's position was relatively stable, it was still like this.

And now?

The southwestern faction was routed, It could be predicted that in the next few years, the southwest faction's current sphere of influence would greatly shrink, and the first faction's reputation would also disappear. Moreover, according to the official convention, the royal faction would not be able to eat all of the important positions taken from the southwest faction. This was the most basic political rule.

The current royal lineage was already extremely powerful, so powerful that even the southern and southwestern factions couldn't breathe. In the next few years, the royal lineage could weaken the southwestern faction, but they had to give up some important positions in exchange for the support of the southern faction and political stability.

However, a powerful southern faction was clearly not something that the royal family wanted to see.

Therefore, there was a high possibility that the royal family and the southern faction would share some important positions, while the other positions would be given to other forces.

Such as the now vibrant neutral faction.

The neutral faction has only just emerged in recent years, There were no fixed spheres of influence or stable political groups. They were only relying on their leaders to unite together. If this leader was inferior to them after the Great Change, he would continue to be elected as a member of the Policy Bureaux. Therefore, the neutral faction would not collapse in the short term.

However, in the current situation, a faction that could only be led by a single Policy Bureau member had little energy and could not receive any strong support from the higher echelons. Therefore, the leaders of the neutral faction had been very close to the similarly weak southern faction over the past few years.

But only very close.

The neutral faction was far from being part of the southern faction, and even its allies were inappropriate.

However, because both sides were weaker, they could only temporarily unite.

If the royal faction gave some important positions to the neutral faction from the southwest faction, it would be enough for the neutral faction to grow stronger and form a stable class in the empire's political situation, with its own sphere of influence and overall interests.

Given the long history of relations between the southern factions and the neutral factions, the southern factions have little objection to allowing the neutral factions to benefit.

These benefits were given to them by the royal faction, so the neutral faction would directly choose to cooperate with the royal faction on a large scale and deep level.

In this way, the royal faction, the southern faction, and the neutral faction would be united to squeeze out the survival space of the southwest faction.

And in order to prove its worth and gain more support, the neutral faction will certainly become the vanguard against the southwest faction.

To a certain extent, the harder the neutrals fought against the southwestern factions, the greater the harvest they were likely to gain.

The royal faction controlled the overall situation, the southern faction stabilized its footing, and the neutral faction steadily rose in the empire's power chain. Only the southwest faction had been damaged.

If the southwest faction's strength was damaged, that meant that the southwest Lin Clan's strength was damaged.

Because behind every faction, there was an interest group made up of wealthy families.

Within the royal family, the royal family, the Chen family, the Ye family, the Sun family, the Xie family, and other wealthy families were all part of the royal family.

The southwest faction, the southwest Lin Clan, the Zhang Clan, the Li Clan, and other wealthy clans were also part of the southwest faction.

The southern faction was composed of the Yang Clan, the Han Clan, and other wealthy clans.

Once the neutral faction rose, there would definitely be a wealthy family behind it.

The rise of any wealthy clan was a blow to the Lin Clan in the southwest, and their prestige would be weakened in these rising wealthy clans.

The royal family, on the other hand, did not need to worry about this at

After all, the next ten years, or even the next ten years, would be the commanding heights of the royal family's power.

Even if the neutral faction and the southern faction had centrifuged the royal faction when they were about to suppress the southwest faction, it didn't matter.

After all, Ye Nianlun and Chen Hua Lou's superiors, Unlike before, They were strong enough before they took the throne, After ascending to the throne, there was no need to worry about the pressure that Lin Qingtian put on them. If the southern faction and the neutral faction were to become a threat to the royal faction, then the royal faction that occupied the commanding heights of power in the first mid-term change five years later could completely redistribute their power and shuffle their cards. If they were given a certain benefit, they could take back more positions, then strengthen their own strength and nurture a new faction.

Medium-term change, big change.

These two shuffles of power, the royal lineage theoretically had the ability to create two factions again.

At that time, the three great factions of the empire would become six.

The position of the Lin Clan in the southwest would be further weakened.

The various factions and families had their own interests to appeal to. At that time, who would still remember the glory of the Lin Clan in the southwest, the empire's number one clan?

The royal family, on the other hand, had a land area of nearly 80,000 square kilometers, and their status had always been extraordinary.

Even after Ye Nianlun retired, Huang Fu Jun, the backbone general of the royal clan, was very likely to succeed. Their status was basically unshakable.

Even Shentu Yue knew that although the southwest faction was still very prosperous, in reality, because of the rise of the Wang faction, Lin Fengxue and Lin Qingtian had already encountered the biggest crisis in many years. It was a life and death crisis.

This situation was completely incomparable to twenty years ago.

Now, killing Lin Xuanyuan, fighting for the power of the empire's secret service system, relying on the independence of the secret service system to stabilize his position, and surviving the most difficult period of time seemed to be the only way.
