Eleven o'clock in the evening.

The Royal Family No. 3 and two big black red flags returned to the Reams of War from the Dongfang Bayu Hospital in the western suburbs of the capital.

The guards on duty in front of the palace subconsciously raised their hands in salute, but there was a look of awe in their eyes that came out of their subconscious.

This row of convoys, in the eyes of those who know the goods, almost represents nearly half of the high-level power of the empire.

The door of the royal family No. 3 was the first to open, and then, several figures also drilled out of the two black big red flags, and in a silent and somewhat depressing atmosphere, a group of people walked into the elevator leading to the war hall with solemn faces.

Ye Nianlun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau, the first academician of the Imperial Center Academician Bureau, the president of the Imperial Center Party School, and the vice head of state, has just taken over the banner of the royal family from Chen Hualou.

Chen Hualou, member of the Standing Committee of the Imperial Policy Bureau, Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the ruling party.

Member of the Standing Committee of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau, Deputy of the Imperial People, and Director of the General Assembly.

Guo Tianlong, member of the Standing Committee of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau and Minister of the Imperial Supervision Department.

In addition to the members of the Standing Committee of the Four Major Decision-making Bureaus, Wang is a member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau and Minister of the Military Department, General Chen Fengnan.

Member of the Imperial Bureau, Deputy Head of the Empire Ho Minghui.

Member of the Imperial Bureau, Deputy Prime Minister Lim Kuo-tung.

Member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau, State Councilor, Academician of the Central Academician Bureau, and Minister of Criminal Affairs Guo Zhinu.

and the highest commander of the Imperial Secret Service System, the Guardian of Shenzhou, Wang Tianxiong, all arrived.

This is a rare occurrence in recent years.

Regardless of their position, the leaders of the factions rarely gather together on some non-essential occasions, the factions are factions, but blatant rowing the mountain, after all, it is taboo, under normal circumstances, once there is a major event that requires the unanimous opinion of all the major giants within the royal system, the leaders of the faction who put forward opinions will inform the God of War King or the King of Side by Side, and then the God of War King or the King of the Side will communicate with other leaders, and work together after reaching an agreement in private.

This is also one of the important roles of the dark side of the royal family of the God of War Palace, which can convey some sensitive events to every giant of the royal family in a more private way, and at the same time spread their opinions and the voices of the leaders throughout the royal family without committing any taboos.

The southwest faction also has a force similar to the God of War Palace, that is, the Southwest Lin family, if it is really true, what Lin Fengxue did for the southwest faction and what Lin Xuanyuan did for the royal faction are actually similar things, respectively, the dark side of the two major factions of the empire, perhaps the only difference, Lin Fengxue in the southwest faction does not have Lin Xuanyuan's strength in the royal system at all.

At least when Lin Xuanyuan disagreed with some of the actions of the royal family, he could raise objections or even shelve the opinions of the giants, but Lin Fengxue did not have this kind of power at all.

The god of war of the royal family, he is side by side with the emperor in the territory of the Shenzhou Empire.

This sentence is definitely not a joke, Lin Xuanyuan's words and deeds in the Shenzhou Empire, any order, any power, and any attitude expressed in the Shenzhou Empire completely represent the emperor.

Every word he said, no one in the royal family would ignore it.

And it is precisely because the God of War King Lin Xuanyuan has enough prestige and power that when he communicates privately with the leaders of the royal family, he is more comfortable, and it is easier to condense the strength of the royal family and persuade other leaders, because as long as he speaks, what he conveys is of course the meaning of other leaders, but he also shows his supportive attitude.

The southwest faction is different, and the most critical point is that Lin Fengxue's prestige and power are not enough.

The Southwest Lin family is known as the first wealthy family in the empire, and it plays a pivotal role within the Southwest faction, for some senior officials at the level of the final situation, and even at the level of the chief and deputy governor, being able to enter the gate of the Southwest Lin family is a shortcut to climb upward.

But in the hearts of some strong leaders of the southwest faction, Lin Fengxue's position was a little embarrassing.

By the way, Lin Fengxue can be said to be one of the leaders of the southwest faction, but when he is on the top, the other leaders rarely need his support.

This alone is enough to make Lin Fengxue lack confidence when he speaks.

It is precisely because of this that when the southwest faction has a major decision, when Lin Fengxue's intention to convey the leader's intention is resisted, it even needs to be coordinated by Lin Qingtian, the supreme head of the empire.

In the royal system, this problem does not occur.

This is also the reason why the leaders of the royal family rarely come together completely.

Some of the old people who know the situation in Kyushu City must know what this means.

Because the gathering of all the leaders of the royal family also happened once many years ago.

Probably more than a decade ago.

At that time, the royal giants returned to the Shenzhou Empire side by side, and the leaders of the royal family gathered in the palace for about half a year.

Soon after, the entire empire was plunged into great turmoil.

The turmoil began with a senior cadre who had retired and had no real power to enjoy the treatment of the deputy governor level, and then it snowballed and grew, and the real power department and bureau level were implicated one by one, and then the real power deputy governor level, when a certain incumbent first secretary of the province was investigated by the Ministry of Supervision, the whole empire was greatly shaken.

But that's just the beginning.

In less than half a year, turmoil spread across the whole country, and the fall of a serving leader of the Southwest faction and a member of the Decision-making Bureau, who was very promising to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau, caused an uproar in the empire and even the whole world, which also marked the first stage of the victory of the royal family's attack.

With the fall of a certain member of the decision-making bureau of the southwest faction, when the empire was in chaos, the royal family took advantage of the chaos again, and several seemingly ordinary vice-governor-level cadres were investigated, and it was another fire, which directly burned to a certain veteran figure of the southwest faction, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau of the empire.

Vigorous.

Subsequently, in a very short period of time, the first member of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau since the reform and opening up of the empire was dismissed.

Before that, for these giant-level figures, at most, they were not called comrades.

Just when everyone thought that the royal faction's attack should be retreated, the royal faction once again showed their madness to the outside world, and dealt a heavy blow to the southwest faction at the most chaotic time.

Xue Zhiguo, the leader of the southwestern faction who was the supreme head of the empire at the time and the first adviser to the military department, was not re-elected in the middle of the empire.

It can even be said that although the southwest faction has been called the first faction in the empire so far, its strength is not much stronger than the royal faction, which has the most direct relationship with the heavy blow that the royal faction gave to the southwest faction.

And this time

The news that several giants of the royal family have gathered together again has spread, and this night, I don't know how many powerful figures are tossing and turning like facing a great enemy.

There is no doubt that the unnatural death of Yunshanluan has directly become an important opportunity to detonate a series of storms before the change!

And in this storm, how should the royal family advance and retreat?

The small meeting room of the Hall of War was filled with smoke.

Lin Xuanyuan held the cigarette and didn't wrinkle, but his mind couldn't help but sound the encounter just now in Dongfang Bayu Hospital.

In addition to Gao Changhe, the deputy head of state, the nine major decision-making bureau standing committee giants all arrived, and the members of the decision-making bureau in Beijing also rushed after, and the last to arrive were several imperial generals with the rank of lieutenant general or above in Kyushu City and old comrades who had retired but recuperated in Kyushu City, including former Prime Minister Li Donglei, Ye Chunqiu, the first guardian of the empire, Chen Zhengxian, the former minister of the imperial military department, Ye Nianhua, and several veterans of the southwest faction who could be compared with the old men of the royal family in terms of seniority.

'Sun Lao', the super elder of the empire who is more than 100 years old and still recuperating abroad, also called in person.

In the meeting just now, Yang Xiuyuan, the prime minister of the empire, and Gao Xiangdong, a member of the decision-making bureau of the southern faction, a state councilor, an academician of the Central Academician Bureau, and the head of the household department, had an ambiguous attitude.

Another staunch supporter of Yang Xiuyuan, the Minister of Rites, went to inspect the place and did not show up.

Several members of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau did not show any attitude when they shook hands with Lin Xuanyuan, and they were very kind, but Lin Xuanyuan clearly felt the coldness of several old comrades and members of the Decision-making Bureau of the Southwest faction when they shook hands with him.

As for the military bigwigs who belonged to the southwestern faction, Yan Mingkai, commander of the Capital Military Region, Liu Changzhi, first deputy minister of the Imperial Military Department, Minister of National Defense, and others, they treated their hostility almost unabashedly.

This also invisibly increased the pressure on the Wang faction, especially an old comrade of the southwest faction who is no longer very vocal now, even made a clear statement, and it can even be said that he strongly criticized Lin Qingtian, the supreme head of the empire, pointing out that he did not do his job properly, was impetuous, and did not pay attention to protecting the safety of the old comrade.

This is quite a strong statement.

Lin Qingtian, who was criticized, was embarrassed, but in fact, the patriarch targeted Lin Xuanyuan word by word, and the pressure was overwhelming.

It's simple, it's complicated, and it's very strange.

But in essence, it is still an active and passive game to reach the final balance.

Yun Shanluan is dead.

The death of an imperial patriarch can only be exchanged for countless benefits beneficial to the Southwestern faction.

Cold, ruthless, value concretization, that's politics.

But in any case, this time, the royal family is indeed in great passivity.

"What needs to be explained, it still has to be explained, whether anyone believes it or not, I'm going to go to the old people of the Southwest faction tomorrow. ”

In silence, Lin Xuanyuan finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

Ye Nianlun was slightly stunned and nodded.

"Feng Nan, Yun Lao has a great prestige in the military and secret service systems of the empire, you should do more work in the near future, communicate with some people, and calm their emotions first. ”

Ye Nianlun opened his mouth and said, as for the imperial secret service system, it is relatively independent, and with the existence of Wang Tianxiong, there is no need to worry too much, and as long as the power of the Shenzhou Guardian is caught in the hands of this side, there will be no too strong voice from that side.

Chen Fengnan nodded, his expression was calm, the ancient well was not wavering, and he was full of concentration.

"Hualou, you and Guodong should try to win the support of the southern faction, Comrade Xiuyuan's attitude tonight is very vague, this is not good for us, we must unite all the forces that can be united now, the attitude of the southern faction is very important. ”

Ye Nianlun continued, his voice was calm, and there was a calm atmosphere.

Chen Hualou and Lin Guodong, the two deputy prime ministers, nodded in response, the attitude of the southern faction is indeed important, not to mention his important position as the third largest faction in the empire, in recent years, with Yang Xiuyuan's neutral attitude in the game between the two factions many times, he has also won a certain amount of support from the neutral faction.

Although the neutral faction is still relatively weak compared to the royal faction, it should not be underestimated if it really works together with the southern faction.

"Director Zou, you may want to go to the next place recently, let Minghui go with you, take a walk. ”

Ye Nianlun's eyes swept and fell on Zou Rente, director of the Imperial People's Congress.

There is no doubt that Zou Rente and He Minghui, the deputy head of the empire, went to the local area to win over the voices of some local factions.

Zou Rente is in charge of the Imperial National Congress, and in recent years, he has been very tough, and has manipulated many high-ranking officials to lose the election process, and is an iron-fisted figure who has made countless people fearful.

"Do you want some old people to do the work?"

Guo Tianlong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau and Minister of Supervision, rubbed his hair and said thoughtfully.

Not to mention the great prestige of former Prime Minister Li Donglei.

It is Li Donglei's predecessor Ye Zhonghua, as well as Chen Zhengxian, the former minister of the empire's military department, and Ye Chunqiu, the first generation of imperial guardians, whose energy is very amazing.

They are all in high positions before the establishment of the royal family, standing in the position of the three major factions today, when they were in power, the political position was still relatively neutral, such as Chen Zhengxian, who once promoted some military cadres of the southwest faction, and Ye Zhonghua, who supported Lin Qingtian before the establishment of the royal family, this intricate relationship makes people misty, but if these hole cards are played, it will definitely be able to get a surprising effect.

"Not for the time being, it's not time yet, let the old man rest more. ”

Chen Hualou took a sip of water and said in a calm tone.

"Well, the key now is to be stable, especially Huating, Wu Yue, and Minnan, which must be stabilized. ”

Zou Ren clicked on a cigarette and said, his eyes turned around Guo Zhinu and He Minghui without a trace.

"I'll do this. ”

The head of the Criminal Department, Guo Zhi, said angrily, he is Li Donglei's son-in-law, and he has served in Wu Yue, and now he is one of the leaders of the Wang family, and he has a very good personal relationship with Hua Ting and Wu Yue, the two members of the decision-making bureau, as soon as he speaks, Hua Ting and Wu Yue, the two fundamental places are not a problem at all.

As for He Minghui, Ye Nianlun's old subordinate also has an extremely deep influence on southern Fujian, and it is very reassuring to hand it over to these two people.

"What happened to the inspection team sent by the Ministry of Supervision?"

Wang Tianxiong, who had always been silent, suddenly asked.

Guo Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "I have received some news, and I have to take my time." ”

Wang Tianxiong nodded, the sharpness in his eyes flashed, and he didn't say more.

"I have a proposal. ”

Lin Xuanyuan snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and suddenly spoke.

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Lin Xuanyuan.

His proposal, at any time, is something that the leaders of the royal family should seriously consider.

"It is very helpful for us to investigate the cause of Yun Shanluan's death in a low-key and detailed manner. ”

Lin Xuanyuan tapped his fingers on the table, and said in a calm tone.

Ye Nianlun glanced at Lin Xuanyuan a little helplessly, then looked at Wang Tianxiong, and smiled bitterly.

As soon as Wang Tianxiong asked about the situation of the inspection team, Lin Xuanyuan was going to propose to investigate the cause of Yun Shanluan's death.

This pair of senior brothers, the aggressiveness is really powerful and outrageous

Window

The night grew darker.

And the leaders' deliberations continued.
