Chapter 1036 That's How It Should Be

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

His reputation was ruined!

A bad thing never dies!

The first word is better, As for the last word, it had to be said that although it sounded very ugly, it was not something a person could do casually. From ancient times until now, the people who could do this in the history books were definitely not ordinary people. In the end, such people had also achieved extraordinary achievements, whether it was in a derogatory or praiseworthy sense.

Now, Xu Shangfeng was actually asking Lin Qingtian if he was ready to lose his reputation for eternity.

Lin Qingtian's eyes were still calm. He just looked at Xu Shangfeng and smiled, "It's not that serious."

"You know, it's so serious. Do you like to underestimate all the consequences after doing things?"

Xu Shangfeng took a deep breath and asked in a rigid tone. If what he was thinking was something that Lin Qingtian was thinking of, then it had to be said that Lin Qingtian's plot was indeed enormous, but the consequences were not something that ordinary people could afford. Even the entire empire would not be able to afford at that time.

'"Even if things really reach an irreversible level, it's nothing. I've thought of this before. No matter what, at least in the future, there will be my name on the history books."

Lin Qingtian smiled self-deprecatingly. He stood up and went to the coffee table. He poured another cup of tea. He waved his hand and said, "Come and have a taste. The Emperor gave me some of the best quality dragon wells. It's indeed not bad. Do you know why I always liked Tie Guanyin?"

Xu Shangfeng walked over and sat down opposite Lin Qingtian. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. The tea tasted bitter, but the aftertaste was long. The corner of his mouth revealed a bitter smile and he was silent, not knowing what to say.

Lin Qingtian liked Tie Guanyin?

A lot of people know about this, However, fewer people knew that, The previous Lin Qingtian, He also liked Longjing better, But Longjing was the Emperor's favorite, As for top-grade Longjing, The Emperor had even looted all of them. The Ministry of Justice had even set up a proper section to collect this kind of tea for the Emperor. Ironically, Lin Qingtian was the head of the empire in the past few years. He had never drunk such a high-grade dragon well before. Now that he had a meal, it was a gift from the Emperor.

It was a gift from the Emperor!

With Lin Qingtian's status, he still needed a person who hadn't been in the Divine Continent Empire for a long time to drink tea from his own country!

Ordinary people simply couldn't imagine how aggrieved this was.

Xu Shangfeng silently drank his tea. He understood Lin Qingtian's actions in his heart, but he still couldn't accept it rationally.

"Everything I've done is for the empire, for the southwest faction."

Lin Qingtian slowly drank his tea and suddenly said in a deep voice.

Xu Shangfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly said, "I believe it for the sake of the southwest faction, but for the sake of the empire? Do you believe it yourself?"

"Of course I do."

Lin Qingtian straightened his body and said in a sonorous tone.

Xu Shangfeng sighed again. Right now, he really couldn't understand Lin Qingtian's thoughts. People like them who had spent their entire lives in the political arena didn't have the slightest flaw in what they said, whether it was true or false. Because when people like them lied, even they believed that it was true. One could imagine how sincere their attitude was.

Xu Shangfeng didn't know if Lin Qingtian had hypnotized him or if he really had other plans.

"This is too extreme."

Xu Shangfeng said slowly, his tone still somewhat difficult to identify with.

"How can the doctrine of the mean change the situation?"

Lin Qingtian smiled brightly. "Look at the royal family. Which time wasn't they walking a tightrope? To put it in extreme terms, the emperor is the real extreme. The emperor used the most extreme methods to defeat the royal family. If he believed in the middle way, where would he have such an achievement now?"

"In the end, the Emperor's Dao can only affect the royal family, but we are one country."

Xu Shangfeng frowned slightly.

Lin Qingtian laughed loudly and pointed at Xu Shangfeng. "The emperor can only influence the royal family? Do you believe that? Alright, even if this is true, what difference does the current royal family have with a country? He influences the royal family, but the royal family can affect the entire empire. He taught me such extreme methods."

Xu Shangfeng was silent again.

Today, Lin Qingtian's words were unexpectedly sharp, even unprecedentedly sharp. Xu Shangfeng couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"If that's the case..."

After pondering for a while, he slowly said, "Lin Xuanyuan is extraordinary. Can your plan really affect him?"

"So what if it's extraordinary?"

Lin Qingtian took a deep breath and said, "If he is the Imperial War God King, I really can't do anything to him. However, since he has become the guardian of the empire, it is the same as entering the rules. No matter how powerful his martial power is, it won't be of much use. He can't risk the world's condemnation to kill everyone, right?" Even if he dares to do so, he will not be able to kill them all. Within the rules, his power is the most important, and such rules are the methods we can use. "

"Zzz..."

Xu Shangfeng picked up the teacup and drank water. He discovered that the tea in the teacup had become empty at some point, but he didn't notice it at all. He casually put down the teacup and looked at Lin Qingtian seriously. "If your plan really succeeded, have you ever thought about the consequences?" He asked. What would be the end result in your imagination? "

"The best result for the southwest faction and the worst result for the empire is that Lin Xuanyuan's personality is strong. In the end, he will betray the country and the royal family will be completely separated from the empire of the Divine Continent. The royal family will withdraw their troops from the United States and even cooperate with the United States. The empire will lose the war, and its national strength will decline and its economy will decline."

Lin Qingtian's expression was calm. But as soon as he opened his mouth, He said that the situation was terrible to the point that it could not be worse. "But if that's the case, then the royal lineage would completely disappear from the Divine Continent Empire, Lin Xuanyuan betrayed the country. "If we break with the royal family, Ye Nianlun and Chen Hua Lou will be affected. We cannot be lovers. Resignation is the lightest consequence. With the disappearance of the royal lineage and the weakness of the new faction, the southwest faction will become the strongest. We can firmly hold the authority of the empire. From now on, we will be the only family in the next few decades."

Xu Shangfeng still looked at Lin Qingtian without saying anything, waiting for another possibility.

"A slightly better result, To the empire, It's good for the southwestern faction, Lin Xuanyuan would not betray the country, but can be fatally affected, His resignation will be a foregone conclusion, Secret Service is under our complete control, The Ye Clan, Wang Tianxiong and Ye Chunqiu were all implicated, As for Ye Nianlun , If wang Xi wanted to protect Ye Nianlun , sufficient benefits must be conceded, such as Huating, "For example, there are other positions in the cabinet. Even if the royal family does not want to accept such an outcome, they will not be able to resist. Furthermore, we will not completely break apart from the royal family. In this way, we will benefit and the war will not be defeated. However, the final outcome will not be victorious. Basically, it will be nothing, and the international situation will not change too much."

Lin Qingtian said, "At present, it seems that this is the most possible thing."

Xu Shangfeng's heart thumped.

Huating, Military, Secret Service, Cabinet.

This was what Lin Qingtian wanted in the end.

Once such an outcome was determined, the number of secretaries and members of the Policy Bureaux in Huating would obviously not satisfy the appetite of the southwest faction. What Lin Qingtian wanted was the entire Huating, the entire Huating where a city could nurture a large faction.

In addition to the initiative in the entire special services system, as well as the highest leadership position.

There was also the position of Vice-Chairman of the Military Commission, Chen Fengnan, who was currently presiding over the day-to-day affairs of the Military Commission, and a member of the Policy Bureau.

As for the Cabinet, it was not Chen Hualou, but Lin Guodong, who was about to take over as a member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau, a member of the Council of State, and a deputy prime minister of the empire.

One member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau, two members of the Policy Bureau who were important in both the military and the government sectors. The entire secret service system also had a quota for a shadow member, as well as a backyard like Huating.

If the southwest faction could hold all of this in their hands, the light of the royal lineage would disappear completely. In the future, the entire royal lineage would be tightly suppressed by the southwest faction, making it extremely difficult for them to even catch their breath.

The key to all of this was Lin Xuanyuan.

In other words, it was the martial arts forces that were about to enter the empire.

It could also be said that it was on the secret service system!

If Lin Qingtian wanted to kill Lin Xuanyuan within the rules and destroy the entire royal clan at the same time, at the very least, he wanted to seriously injure their Yuan Qi.

"You know all my plans."

Lin Qingtian looked at Xu Shangfeng, who was silent and solemn. He smiled and said, "Next, it's your turn to declare your stance."

Xu Shangfeng's mouth moved. This time, he really couldn't say anything.

"I..."

Time dripped by in the study.

Xu Shangfeng was silent for nearly half an hour before he said with difficulty, "I will remain neutral. I will pretend that I did not hear anything today."

He raised his head and looked at Lin Qingtian's calm expression. He slowly said, "I'm not weak. I just don't feel that I need to shoulder all of this with you. I'm neutral. Even in the worst case scenario, the southwest faction has at least a certain path to retreat. There's still a small amount of room for survival. I hope you can understand."

Lin Qingtian nodded calmly and smiled, "It should be like this."
