It wasn't until lunch that Lin Guodong finished the cabinet meeting and rushed to Longhu Park, and saw Lin Xuanyuan in the living room, the deputy prime minister who will not change his specific position next year but his status in the party will rise a lot and become a giant, patted Lin Xuanyuan's shoulder with a smile, and gave a thumbs up without seeing it at all: "Xuanyuan, you have done a good job in the United States, and I have long wanted to say this to you in person, but unfortunately you came and went in a hurry, and I haven't seen you until now." ”

Lin Xuanyuan smiled and handed Lin Guodong a cigarette, indeed, the days when he returned to the empire from the Silver Country were quite short, but he went to the Emperor Soldier Mountain on the night he woke up, and only came back today, so delayed, nearly a month has passed, Lin Guodong is still like this, Lin Xuanyuan does not return to the God of War Palace, and he also knows that his appointment is afraid that it will be scheduled until next year, and when he goes to Shenzhou to guard his post, all kinds of congratulatory invitations will follow, whether Lin Xuanyuan goes to the banquet or himself has a banquet in the God of War Palace, if he sees two or three high-ranking officials a day, he doesn't know when he wants to meet, this is still enough to let him meet a high-ranking official, as for those who also want to see him but are not qualified, there will only be more.

Mi Guo and his party allowed Lin Xuanyuan to accumulate a lot of prestige, and also allowed him to gain the approval of honest officials of almost all factions, just as the emperor recommended him to replace Wang Tianxiong as the new guardian of the empire, enter the Shenzhou Guardian, and control the imperial secret service system, the votes in the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau, the plenary meeting of the decision-making bureau and the plenary meeting of the Imperial Center just after were unanimously passed, and no one even raised a decent objection.

Although they have different positions, in the face of war, everything Lin Xuanyuan has done is worthy of everyone's recognition.

As Li Donglei said, he is a hero.

"Li Lao has already praised me just now, don't repeat it, although it sounds very good, but it's also crooked after listening too much, if you don't say it, I went back to the God of War Palace, and I can hear a lot of similar words." ”

Lin Xuanyuan lit a cigarette and said with a smile.

Lin Guodong laughed, pulled Lin Xuanyuan to sit down on the sofa, didn't see Li Donglei, couldn't help but feel a little strange, and wondered: "Where is the secretary?"

Calling Li Donglei a secretary is almost a unique title for Lin Guodong.

Lin Guodong's promotion path is extremely steep, from an ordinary office cadre at the official level to the current deputy head of the empire, it only took more than 20 years, which is a miracle in officialdom.

And there is no doubt that almost every step of Lin Guodong's promotion follows Li Donglei's footsteps.

At the beginning, Li Donglei was transferred from the position of deputy mayor of Kyushu City to Huating as deputy secretary, and directly designated Lin Guodong as his secretary, which was also the beginning of his fate with Li Donglei.

The cooperation between the two is very tacit, whether it is Li Donglei or Lin Guodong, there is a feeling of handy at work, so Li Donglei directly broke the rule that the secretary will be trained by the leader for three or five years, and he has always taken it with him, Lin Guodong is also hard-working, and has been serving silently by Li Donglei's side, Li Donglei has been the deputy secretary of Huating for nearly four years, the mayor of Huating for five years, the secretary of Huating City for two years, and the secretary of Kyushu City for three years, concurrently serving as the head of the Criminal Department.

When Li Donglei's first five-year term in the prime minister's position was about to end, the Wang faction defeated the southwest faction, the leader of the southwest faction, Xue Zhiguo, who was the supreme head of the empire at the time, failed to be re-elected, and the new head of state was a veteran elected by the southern faction, he was very old, and he was in a semi-retired state almost as soon as he took office, and Lin Guodong's ending was not bad, he went directly to the cabinet and became a high-powered deputy prime minister.

But looking back on his ups and downs along the way, Lin Guodong, who only began to rise in middle age, was obviously most impressed by his more than ten years of secretary career, if he hadn't studied and observed with Li Donglei for more than ten years, even if he was released to Northern City in the end, he had no ability, and he would not be recognized by the royal family.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration for Li Donglei to be Lin Guodong's re-created parents, so for many years, Lin Guodong has always called Li Donglei secretary, not prime minister, not Li Lao, just secretary, such an old title, which also shows the close relationship between Lin Guodong and Li Donglei.

"Call in the study. ”

Lin Xuanyuan pointed to the location of the study and said with a smile, the transaction between the Shentu clan and the Atlas clan of Yuheng completely affected Li Donglei's nerves, this kind of thing, if it really uses Shentu Yue as a breakthrough, it is equivalent to using Lin Fengxue as a breakthrough, just like once Lin Fengxue is involved, whether Lin Qingtian is involved in this matter or not, it will be involved, if the transaction between the Shentu clan and the Atlas clan of Yuheng and the Atlas clan really started from Shentu Yue in the first place, then whether Lin Fengxue knows it or not, it is impossible for him to escape from it。

And at present, apart from Shen Tuyue, Lin Xuanyuan and Li Donglei really can't think of how the two sides can trade.

Unless it was the elite of the Ninth Division who was in charge of monitoring the Shentu clan of Yuheng's first lineage who was blind, it was unlikely that this matter would be established.

So after roughly determining everything, Li Donglei started to call directly, and the first call was to Ye Lao.

The Ye family is a pivotal force within the royal family, Ye Zhonghua and Ye Chunqiu are both veterans of the empire, this kind of thing, if you want to reach agreement with the Ye family, you must communicate with the two of them, and then call Chen Lao, that is, Chen Zhengxian, the former vice chairman of the Imperial Military Commission.

Today's Wang family, although the Ye family and the Chen family all have real power figures in the center, such as Wang Tianxiong, such as Ye Nianlun, such as Chen Hualou, Chen Fengnan, Chen Fengyan and others, but if they want to unify all the voices within the faction in the shortest possible time, and then roughly determine the countermeasures first, it is still the most effective to find these elders, and the prestige they have accumulated over the years, once united, is enough to easily eliminate most of the resistance.

The current situation is already obvious.

The Shentu clan of Yuheng traded with the Atlas clan, and Shentu Yue was the most likely breakthrough.

And this matter has to be investigated.

Yu Heng is a member of the Shentu Clan, which is one of the most powerful martial arts forces in the empire today, if they are suspected of treason, how can others trust them?

Even if you turn a blind eye, it's impossible, and no one can ignore this kind of thing.

And once this matter is investigated, it means that the royal faction and the southwest faction will once again break out into a great conflict.

Although the southwest faction is extremely chaotic now, Lin Qingtian and Xu Shangfeng seem to have completely turned their faces, but at least for now, even if Xu Shangfeng wants to stand on his own, it will take time, and if this matter is investigated, it is very likely that Xu Shangfeng will be underprepared, and when the time comes, in order to protect himself, his position will not be too difficult to guess.

If the treason of the Shentu clan of Yuheng can really deal another blow to the southwest faction, the Wang faction will be a dominant family, which is not necessarily a good thing for the southern faction that is already in a difficult situation, and their position is unlikely to support the Wang faction.

In such a situation, the royal faction is almost equivalent to fighting alone, and if there is no voice within the faction, it is definitely not a good thing.

Moreover, Lin Xuanyuan originally planned to make a move against the major martial arts forces of the empire, and now Li Donglei also took advantage of this opportunity to gather the voices within the faction, and when Lin Xuanyuan really made a move, the royal family could also share part of the pressure for Lin Xuanyuan.

"Calling?"

Lin Guodong raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled casually: "Who are you calling for? You kid is a distinguished guest, I don't have this treatment here, the secretary will leave you aside to call others?"

"Call Ye Lao, and Chen Lao. ”

Lin Xuanyuan nodded.

Lin Guodong's expression suddenly became serious.

Li Donglei, Ye Chunqiu, Ye Zhonghua, Chen Zhengxian.

These few can be said to be the top four elders of the royal family now, on weekdays, if nothing big happens, they generally don't speak easily, let alone take the initiative to contact, but once they take the initiative to contact, it is definitely something big about to happen.

"What the hell is going on? Even you have to break it up?"

Lin Guodong was silent for a while before asking in a deep voice.
