0:15 a.m.

The almost four-hour meeting has reached an impasse.

This was originally the most unlikely scene in Lin Qingtian's imagination.

Imperial Inspectorate, Imperial Cabinet, Kyushu Prison.

The three cores of the empire are connected in a line, as for the previous few plus and minus governor-level quota chips, at best, they are just appetizers, and the positions of the five chief and deputy governors, if they were placed twenty years ago, the various factions of the empire rose together, and all kinds of voices filled the wonderful era of the empire's political arena, this would definitely be a big deal.

But now, the three major factions, among which the southern faction is still playing soy sauce, which directly leads to every personnel transfer at the core of the empire's political arena There is no small action, this is a confrontation between the royal faction and the southwest faction, the victory or defeat is obvious, at a glance, as the winner, naturally there is the power to ask for more chips, as for the southern faction, the only one, and it is also a giant who can break the balance, Yang Xiuyuan is naturally not a fool, sandwiched between the two major factions, strange goods, but for so many years, there is not much power, and most of the six most powerful departments and local provinces in the empire have been occupied by the royal faction and the southwest factionThe results of the southern faction's efforts to unite local factions for many years have not been obvious, and with Chen Hualou's entry into the cabinet and his already limited power, his already limited power has been further compressed.

Such a situation.

Such a situation.

Strange goods?!

Yang Xiuyuan had never thought of it that way, and neither had the southern faction.

Yang Xiuyuan's situation and situation fully illustrate his embarrassing position, the dignified Prime Minister of the Empire, the spokesperson of the Imperial Government, the No. 2 person, and the only key person who can break the stalemate between the two factions, but he does not have much power in his hands, which completely proves that the two major factions did not let go of their fear of the southern faction in their hearts when they were facing each other.

The southern faction, the third faction with the patriarch in charge after all, is now weak, and its energy cannot be underestimated, and this kind of political group that covers the entire empire may not be as prosperous as the Wang faction and the southwest faction, but it is definitely not a little brother who bows down to the other two major factions.

The two major factions are just using the southern faction from beginning to end.

The southern faction has strength, so it has value to use.

This is also the only space where Imperial Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan can move now.

And Yang Xiuyuan, an old fox who can still sit in the prime minister's position in the case of the decline of the southern faction, obviously understands this truth, so it is not clear which side he supports at every meeting.

When to express one's position, which side to support, how to support the southern faction to obtain the greatest benefits without touching the bottom line of the opposing faction, what are their own interests expected, etc.

Every-for-tat confrontation between the Wang faction and the Southwest faction is supported by the seventh, but Yang Xiuyuan's statement has been carefully considered every time, and even countless times, Yang Xiuyuan clearly knows that once he expresses his position, he can get great benefits, but he endures it vigorously.

Because the risk is too great.

And the so-called risk, in the eyes of the other two factions, is the bottom line.

If Yang Xiuyuan only looks at the interests every time, he will indeed gain benefits in the short term, but after a long time, if he is angered by the bottom line of the two major factions, then his fate will definitely be forced to step down by the two major factions together, and he will be replaced by a new and better controllable character.

So many times, Yang Xiuyuan did not break this balance, and let the southwest faction and the Wang faction fight in full swing, and he watched coldly, becoming a real neutral.

And it is precisely because of this that the two major factions of the empire, every time the person adjustment after the winner is decided, the scale is not small, and the five places at the level of chief and deputy governors are just a matter of victory or defeat.

Not touching the bottom line of any party, ensuring the interests of the southern faction, and maintaining his own status are the rules that Yang Xiuyuan has always abided by.

He can be re-elected as Prime Minister of the Reich also because he did not take a position on major issues and seriously provoked the tolerance of the other side.

Yang Xiuyuan knew this, and Lin Qingtian and Chen Hualou also knew this.

Therefore, at tonight's meeting, Yang Xiuyuan's firm stance was completely beyond Lin Qingtian's expectations.

It's all a move that touches your own bottom line.

No, this is not even a touch, Yang Xiuyuan's bold and heroic attitude is completely intended to shatter the bottom line of the southwest faction.

Smash!

Lin Qingtian's heart suddenly felt cold, and his whole body was a little cold.

Crushing the bottom line of the Southwest faction?

What the hell does this old fox want to do?

Lin Qingtian's thoughts wandered, and he suddenly thought of the fact that a few months ago, the God of War King Lin Xuanyuan suddenly visited the Hidden Dragon Sea and was a guest at Yang Xiuyuan's residence, and that was the night you did, Yang Xiuyuan personally talked to the decision-making committee members of several neutral factions in the empire not long after Lin Xuanyuan left.

From that time on, Lin Qingtian thought that the southern faction and the Wang faction were plotting something, and he was highly concerned at the beginning, but after a few months, there were no superfluous actions on both sides, which made him gradually let down his guard.

Until tonight...

Could it be that tonight, what chance did he give Yang Xiuyuan?

Lin Qingtian looked at the prime minister beside him, and then subconsciously glanced at Lin Xuanyuan, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

The reason why he dared to propose to let Jiang Mingshi and Guo Zhengnu swap positions at the beginning was that Yang Xiuyuan did not dare to express his position on such a major issue, and he felt that although such a plan was crazy, it was not without the possibility of success.

It may be a bit of a loss for a Kyushu prison to change the position of a member of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau, but it really doesn't cost much, and the southwest faction is not doing one for one, in Lin Qingtian's heart, this is completely one and a half for half.

Because of its particularity, the secret service has long shaped the law of the jungle where the strong are respected, as long as Yun Shanluan withdraws from the Kyushu prison, as long as the new successor is strong enough, plus Wang Tianxiong's top-down support, the Wang family can definitely clear the influence of the southwest faction on the Kyushu prison in the fastest time.

What about Guo Zhifu?

Guo Zhifu went to the cabinet, and now he is the third in command, in addition to the prime minister and the deputy prime minister of the Standing Committee, Guo Zhifu is the greatest, and after the big change, Chen Hualou is in the position, Guo Zhengfu is in the same position, Guo Zhengfu is in the same place, the two giants of the cabinet, all belong to the royal family, don't talk about Yang Xiuyuan at that time, even Lin Qingtian will not want to affect the operation of the cabinet, which is equivalent to giving all the control of the cabinet to the royal family.

The Ministry of Supervision has always been the territory of the strong influence of the Wang faction, and now belongs to the vice minister of the Ministry of Supervision of the southwest faction, for several years, the team that has been run is weak and pitiful, and the deputy ministers of the Wang family are all in power, in this case, what can Jiang Mingshi do even if he goes to the Ministry of Supervision?

In a word, it is completely impossible.

Being able to master half of the Ministry of Supervision, Lin Qingtian was content, and inserted Jiang Mingshi into the Ministry of Supervision, which was Lin Qingtian's means of self-protection, rather than taking the initiative.

A complete cabinet, a complete Kyushu prison, and half of the Ministry of Supervision's right to speak.

Even if the position of the Ministry of Supervision is currently very important to the southwest faction, but it is not the case for the Wang faction, this crazy and bold move, Lin Qingtian believes that the Wang faction will definitely be tempted, even if the other party does not agree, under the condition that Yang Xiuyuan maintains consistent neutrality, the two sides are four against four, and the operation space is very large, big deal, the southwest faction is adding some interests.

And now, the other party clearly refused, and Yang Xiuyuan also stood in the camp of the royal family.

Lin Qingtian, who didn't consider the possibility of Jiang Mingshi becoming a member of the Standing Committee giant, was suddenly angry in his heart, angry at the other party's ignorance, angry at Yang Xiuyuan's breaking of the rules, but after the anger, there was only panic left.

The Wang faction is stubbornly guarding the Ministry of Supervision, is it really going to set off an anti-corruption storm that will affect the foundation and reputation of the southwest faction? !

Could it be that after he retreats, although the empire can still maintain the three major factions, the southwest faction will be at the bottom?

How can this be?!

Dense cold sweat instantly appeared on Lin Qingtian's forehead, his expression was still calm and calm, but his eyes began to drift.

Yang Xiuyuan's two statements tonight are a big deal.

Lin Qingtian sighed in his heart, but he didn't know that the two statements of the imperial prime minister tonight were just raising the knife in his hand, and what followed was the most fatal blow!

And he didn't notice the eye contact between Lin Xuanyuan and Yang Xiuyuan.

didn't even notice that the cold sweat on Yang Xiuyuan's forehead at this moment was definitely no less than him.

It's a high gamble!

This was Yang Xiuyuan's only feeling at this time, he felt like a gambler who was about to press all his chips with red eyes, and he was at a critical moment of whether to give it a go.

From the moment he opened his mouth, Lin Xuanyuan's gaze was always locked on him, intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were meaningful, as if he was reminding him of something.

Yang Xiuyuan naturally knew what Lin Xuanyuan meant, the other party was reminding him that the long-awaited opportunity had arrived, his own future, the future of the southern faction, and the future of the empire were all in his thoughts, and that crazy thought was constantly surging in his mind, but he kept suppressing it, and the whole person was slightly red because of the entanglement, and his eyes were extremely solemn.

"Ahem. ”

In the silent conference room, Lin Xuanyuan coughed lightly.

Yang Xiuyuan reflexively sat up straight, and looked at Lin Xuanyuan with a somewhat fierce look in his eyes.

Lin Xuanyuan's expression was still calm, but the corners of his mouth exposed under the mask hooked up an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he looked at Yang Xiuyuan quietly.

At the conference table, Chen Hualou seemed to have taken out a document.

Ye Nianlun gently held the teacup, the light in his eyes flowed, and he looked at the document that Chen Hualou took out intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Xuanyuan, Chen Hualou, Ye Nianhuan.

At this moment, every move of the three of them carried an indescribable tacit understanding in Yang Xiuyuan's eyes.

This is indeed an opportunity.

If you don't grasp it... Then it's really going to be handed over to the royal family.

In the silence, except for Lin Qingtian, almost all the giants in the conference room noticed the abnormality of a few people, and their eyes swept back and forth among several people, some were at a loss, and some were flat.

Yang Xiuyuan gritted his teeth suddenly, took a deep breath, and suddenly said with a smile: "I personally think that although Comrade Jiang Mingshi is not suitable for the leading position of the Ministry of Supervision, I think another person is still suitable, how about I recommend a competent candidate to the Führer?"

Lin Qingtian sneered inwardly.

Do you recommend?

Is this the benefit that the royal faction gives you? What an old fool!

Lin Qingtian glanced at Yang Xiuyuan coldly, and said lightly: "What does the prime minister have a high opinion, let's discuss it together!"

Yang Xiuyuan also obviously felt Lin Qingtian's coldness, but he didn't care, since he had made a choice, he decided to do it in one go, smiled lightly at the moment, and said: " I think Comrade Wen Keliang is quite capable of taking up the post of the Ministry of Supervision, Comrade Keliang's conduct is very good, and he is very strict with himself, I have had a conversation with him, and this comrade has left a very deep impression on me, and I think it is appropriate for him to go to the Ministry of Supervision and take up the post of first vice minister, and now Comrade Wang Wenhao, the first vice minister of the Ministry of Supervision, has been working in the discipline inspection unit for many years, and it is time to change the environment and temper it. ”

Wen Keliang!

The former first secretary of the Dongshan Provincial Party Committee, but because of Yang Xiuyuan's proposal, he was robbed of his position by Huang Fujun, who is a confidant of the southwest faction, but now he is holding an idle position as a state councilor, and it is definitely a very feasible plan for him to go to the Ministry of Supervision.

The surprise in Lin Qingtian's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Yang Xiuyuan, his face gradually softened, but he was still a little entangled in his heart.

Wen Keliang is a very promising cadre, although he is now idle, but sooner or later he will make a comeback, let him go to the Ministry of Supervision, undoubtedly a waste of another position full of gold in the future.

And this position will be topped by Wang Wenhao.

This is the position of a member of the Bureau.

It seems to be a bit of a loss.

Lin Qingtian took a deep breath, nodded in line with the principle that the strength of the Ministry of Supervision is the most important now, and said with a reluctant smile: "I have no opinion." ”

Several other giants also raised their hands one after another, saying that they had no opinion.

The smile in Lin Qingtian's eyes gradually expanded.

And Yang Xiuyuan finally took out a piece of information and said calmly: "Führer, there is one more thing that everyone needs to discuss together, about the six cabinet departments." ”

Lin Qingtian, who was in a better mood, waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiuyuan, let's talk about the affairs of the cabinet, if I can do my best, I can help you check it." ”

Yang Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said calmly: "It's about the reorganization and renaming of the cabinet and the six ministries..."

"Wait!"

Before Yang Xiuyuan finished speaking, the conference room instantly froze, and Lin Qingtian also jumped up suddenly, staring at Yang Xiuyuan and said, "What did you say?"

"It's about the reorganization of the cabinet and the six ministries, as well as the plan for renaming ..."

"I disagree!"

Lin Qingtian interrupted Yang Xiuyuan's words again, and his expression was completely out of shape.

The Führer's eyes were unprecedentedly fierce and resolute.

He stared at Yang Xiuyuan and reiterated again: "I will never agree!"
