The No. 4 car of the cabinet entered the Hidden Dragon Sea all the way, and before it arrived at Lin Qingtian's office, it was stopped at a fork in the road.

It is a sightseeing car that stops the business flag, but it is different from the sightseeing car in some tourist attractions, it looks the same on the outside, but in addition to the driver's seat, there are only four seats, which is spacious and comfortable.

A Hidden Dragon Sea soldier who was driving a shopping car jumped out of the car at the moment when the red flag was stable, and simply saluted a solemn military salute to the red flag.

In the back of the vehicle, the emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at a middle-aged man who walked over with a smile on his face following the Hidden Dragon Sea warrior, thought for a moment, pulled the car door and walked down.

"Hello, Emperor, I am Han Jingyu, deputy director of the Central Office, and we met yesterday. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake hands with the emperor, his tone was honorific, and there was a hint of subtlety in his attitude, everything was just right, but as a high-ranking official of the Shenzhou Empire, the emperor followed closely behind His Majesty, he couldn't call it anyway.

"The Führer is not in the office?"

The emperor stretched out his hand and shook hands with Han Jingyu, and asked in a flat tone, Han Jingyu is the deputy director of the General Office of the Imperial Center, but in fact, he is only a name in the General Office of the Center, and the main work is on the side of the Führer's Office, and he is the personal secretary next to Lin Qingtian, Han Jingyu's level was adjusted to the level of the governor last month, and now he is also one of the young Zhuang factions that has been cultivated by the southwest faction, and he has a bright future, and because he has served as the secretary of the supreme head, when Lin Qingtian retires, he will inevitably give him a proper arrangement, Even if he is not qualified enough to compete for the first secretary of a large province because of his short time to correct the governor, Lin Qingtian will not put him in the position of the governor of a province, and now that the pilot of the reorganization of the six ministries has been approved, behind the form, is a large-scale promotion, so after the big change, Han Jingyu will inevitably occupy a position where the influence is not weaker than the position of the first secretary of the big province.

In today's situation where there are few factions and it is not suitable for large-scale rectification and storming, the people of their own faction should compete for what position when, and the people of the other faction should compete for what position at what time, the Wang faction, the southwest faction and even the southern faction will study it clearly, and the vision of the giants will even look ten years later, so as to make a long-term layout.

At present, judging from the research of the Wang faction, Han Jingyu is very likely to become a giant-level figure pushed out by the Southwest faction ten years later, and in the Southwest faction, his weight will definitely not be much lighter than the previous Qin Shi'an and the current Lin Chaoyang.

"The Führer said in the morning that he wanted to breathe, and temporarily decided that the meeting with the emperor was not in the office, but in the hidden sea, and now the boat is ready, and the Führer is preparing fishing gear, Emperor, please. ”

Han Jingyu smiled and turned sideways, reaching out to make an inviting gesture.

The emperor nodded, said a little nonsense to the driver who sent him to Yinlonghai, and turned around and got into the sightseeing car.

The sun is shining, the air is fresh, the leaves are falling, sitting in the sightseeing car driving at a constant speed, the early morning wind blows on the face, passing through the highest power center of this empire, the emperor's originally tense nerves are also quietly relaxed, and his heart is relaxed and happy.

He understood the meaning of Lin Qingtian's temporary change of negotiation location, talking in the solemn and solemn head of state's office, the atmosphere was inevitably depressing, and he and Lin Qingtian's conversation today was extremely important, in that kind of depressing environment, in the face of the same level of negotiation, the mood of the two of them would inevitably subconsciously tense, and it was very likely that the conversation would end unhappily.

Now that the environment has changed, the two of them will be slightly relaxed, the rippling hidden sea, two fishing rods, a lonely boat, and the pleasing scenery will definitely be more convenient to communicate.

"The sightseeing car is proposed by the head of state, the hidden dragon sea is not big, in addition to the water surface area, it doesn't take much time to go around here, but the leaders are busy, and there is less time to go out for a walk, so the head of state proposed to get a sightseeing car, the leaders are tired of the office, take the car around, change the brain, and be more sober. ”

Han Jingyu sat opposite the emperor, looked at the gradually receding scenery outside the car, took a deep breath, and laughed softly.

"Good arrangement, there is also a sightseeing car on the Emperor Soldier Mountain, but I haven't been on it for a long time, and now I sit here to see the Hidden Dragon Sea, and I have a different taste. ”

The Emperor nodded.

Han Jingyu smiled and took out a cigarette, handed one to the emperor with both hands, and said softly after helping him light it: "I have long heard that the Imperial Soldier Mountain of the Northern Imperial Family is picturesque, I don't know if I have the opportunity to visit it in my life, after all, many years ago, that piece of land of more than 70,000 square kilometers belonged to the territory of the Shenzhou Empire." ”

The emperor lowered his eyelids, took a puff of cigarette, and said indifferently: "But before it belonged to me, it was the territory of the Soviet Union." ”

Han Jingyu was stunned for a moment, and then knew that he had inadvertently said the wrong thing, so he quickly smiled, and said in a tone of admiration: "That's why I said that the emperor is eloquent and can grab land in the hands of the Soviet Union, which is not something that anyone can do, and now that island is in your hands, and you are an imperial nationality, so the whole empire is full of calls for the royal family to return to the empire, and I really want to go on the island that has been about to leave the empire for two hundred years to have a look." ”

The emperor frowned slightly, it was no secret in the high-level circles of the entire empire that the imperial family was about to return to the empire, and the news had been sent to the level of the imperial center's alternate committee, the emperor was not disgusted that Han Jingyu was talking to him about the return of the imperial family now, in fact, this matter was the most important thing that the empire and the imperial family needed to deal with in the next few years.

What surprised him was the urgency unconsciously revealed in Han Jingyu's tone.

He glanced at Han Jingyu carefully and said lightly, "Director Han, there will be a chance." ”

Han Jingyu smiled awkwardly, knowing that his performance just now was a little obvious, and he didn't say much at the moment, but just whispered to urge the soldiers driving the sightseeing car to speed up.

Five minutes later.

At the shore of the Hidden Sea, the emperor saw Lin Qingtian holding two fishing rods and carrying a bag of fish food.

The supreme head of the empire under the sun waved at the emperor with a hearty smile, perhaps this meeting was more personal, so his expression was less businesslike and serious, and became very easy-going.

"The Führer is in good spirits. ”

The emperor stepped out of the sightseeing car, casually helped Lin Qingtian take fish food, and stretched out his empty hand to shake Lin Qingtian.

"Haha, the weather is good today, and suddenly there is the nature of fishing, revival, stay at noon to eat, just eat fish, Jingyu sails the boat, whether you can feed the stomachs of the three of us today, it depends on the fishing skills of the two of us today." ”

Lin Qingtian laughed.

The emperor was noncommittal, followed Lin Qingtian on the boat, Han Jingyu personally drove the boat, and soon, the boat stopped in the middle of the hidden sea.

Hidden Dragon Sea is said to be the combined name of Hidden Sea and Dragon Sea, in fact, the area is just a small lake, the water quality is clear, sit on the boat and look down, all kinds of fish swimming in the water posture is clearly visible, fishing in this environment, as long as you can sit still, even a novice can harvest a lot, the emperor took the fish food, threw the fishing rod into the water, and said casually: "Last night, I went to see Li Lao, Li Lao talked very strongly, and made an exception to drink half a catty of Maotai, so I simply stayed there last night." ”

Lin Qingtian snorted, put the fishing rod aside, and said softly: "I haven't visited Elder Li for a long time, is the old man okay?"

"The spirit looks good, self-cultivation, as soon as people relax and their bodies are healthy. ”

The emperor smiled and spoke, mentioning Li Donglei's body, his smile was happy from the heart.

Lin Qingtian glanced at him and nodded, for Li Donglei, the big guy who almost crushed the southwest faction at the beginning, even if Lin Qingtian had ten million dissatisfaction in his heart, since he didn't tear his face at this time, he wouldn't say it:" Li Lao's contribution to the empire, the whole empire is obvious to all, he is healthy, it is a good thing for the empire, for me personally, Li Lao is also my mentor and friend, he is old and strong, I am relieved, but it is a pity Yun Lao, he is the same as Li Lao, he is an elder I admire, his sudden death is a major loss for the empire. ”

The emperor sneered in his heart, he mentioned Yunshanluan so quickly, this is obviously to put pressure on himself?

"For Yun Lao's death, I am very sorry, about this, I have asked Xuanyuan many times for verification, although Xuanyuan and Yun Lao had some friction at that time, but the action is still very measured, although Xuanyuan is young, but he is not confused. ”

The Emperor replied lightly.

"Fuxing, you are the strongest martial arts supreme in the dark world, then you should understand that the master has made a move, and sometimes he can't control his strength, no matter what, Xuanyuan is doing it, I don't know how measured Xuanyuan is, but we should at least respect the facts, right?"

Lin Qingtian said a little disappreciatively, and as soon as he lifted the fishing rod in his hand, a carp weighing more than two catties was lifted out of the water.

The emperor squinted slightly, nodded and said, "In the afternoon, Xuanyuan and I will go over to offer incense to Yun Lao." ”

Lin Qingtian smiled, and said: "Coincidentally, Comrade Jiang Mingshi is also going to go over in the afternoon, before Yun Lao was alive, he had high expectations for Comrade Akashi, and once chatted with me, he also mentioned that Comrade Akashi could not exert his full ability in the cabinet, he had worked in the discipline inspection system before, and he should go to the Ministry of Supervision, Comrade Akashi has a firm position and a tough wrist, and I also think that if he goes to the Ministry of Supervision, under his leadership, the work of the Ministry of Supervision will definitely make new improvements."

Jiang Mingshi leads the Ministry of Supervision.

The emperor's eyes narrowed even tighter, he stared at the water, and said slowly: "Jiang Mingshi, Li Lao mentioned to me last night, although he has experience in the discipline inspection system, but Li Lao believes that he can play a more role in the field of economic construction, Li Lao means that after the change, Deputy Prime Minister Jiang Mingshi will continue to stay in the cabinet, cooperate with the work of Chen Hualou and Lin Guodong, and build the cabinet into a strong team, which is more conducive to the development of the empire." ”

Lin Qingtian's palms trembled subconsciously, clenched slightly, and his eyes became gloomy.

He carried out Yunshanluan, but the other party directly moved Li Donglei out, although Yunshanluan is a veteran of the empire and has higher qualifications than Li Donglei, but in terms of prestige, ten Yunshanluan can't top one Li Donglei.

And what made Lin Qingtian even more angry was the emperor's last words.

Cooperate with the work of Chen Hualou and Lin Guodong.

It's no problem to cooperate with Chen Hualou, but why cooperate with Lin Guodong?

The subtext of this sentence is completely that the next re-election, Jiang Mingshi will stay in the cabinet and will not move, neither promotion nor descent, Chen Hualou will be corrected, Lin Guodong will become a giant, Jiang Mingshi will not say that he will lead the work of the Ministry of Supervision, even if he is in the cabinet, it will not be a problem.

Lin Qingtian recovered his mood for a while, his eyes regained his indifference, involving a giant number of members of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau, the negotiation process is not too difficult, whether it is the emperor or Lin Qingtian, they don't expect to meet once or twice to finalize the candidates, he nodded casually and said: "This matter, I'll take some time to talk to Elder Li later." ”

The Emperor nodded expressionlessly, not saying a word.

"Oh, by the way, Fuxing, you saw Mr. Li last night, I don't know if Mr. Li mentioned to you about the reorganization of the six domestic ministries, public opinion has been very noisy recently, what does Mr. Li mean?"

Lin Qingtian suddenly changed the topic and asked lightly.

The emperor glanced at him and smiled: "Elder Li is very supportive of this reorganization, he said that the original intention of establishing the Six Ministries was good, but there are some things that are not well considered, the power of the Six Ministries has been strengthened, and there are many things to do with the cabinet, which is not conducive to the development of the empire." ”

Lin Qingtian thought for a while before slowly nodding: " What Li Lao said, it also makes sense, so let's do it, at present, Suyu City, Wu Yue Province is doing a pilot, a prefecture-level city, the results of the pilot are also limited, since Li Lao supports reform, then our steps are a little bigger, Wu Yue Province, Huating City, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Southern Fujian, simply four places together to do the reform pilot, half a year, if the effect is good, then the whole empire will be promoted, and strive to finalize the pilot before the big change, which can be regarded as paving the way for the new team. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I think this idea is feasible." ”

By putting forward such a proposal, Lin Qingtian actually agreed to the full implementation of the reform.

After all, this reform is not an innovation, but a return to the past, the content of the reform is just to change the political model of recent years into the political model of the previous years, the establishment of the six departments of the institution is only more than eight years, the time is very short, now most of the senior officials of the empire although familiar with the setting of the six departments, but for more than eight years ago the political structure will not be unfamiliar, such a pilot, basically there will be no problems, half a year later, there will be a full promotion of qualifications.

"I'm curious, why don't you insist, you should know that once the reform is implemented, it will be tantamount to denying your ruling style for more than eight years, and the blow to your prestige will be fatal. ”

The Emperor asked suddenly, in a cold tone.

Lin Qingtian paused for a moment, and turned his head to look at the emperor with an indifferent expression.

From yesterday to now, the two have met twice, and this seems to be the first time that the emperor has put down the disguise of superficial harmony and spoken to Lin Qingtian in such a mocking tone.

"What can I do if I insist on it? If the time is pushed forward by five years, no matter what, I will stop this reform, but now there is not enough time, more than a year, even if I block it, a year later, the reform will still be carried out, the general trend is the same, just like when I carried out the reform, at that time, no one stopped it, and now, no one can stop the reform of the royal family. ”

"So you threw the prestige you've accumulated over the years into the stinking ditch, and you don't care about being slapped in the face at all?"

The Emperor asked with a sneer.

Lin Qingtian was not angry, and slowly handed the emperor a cigarette, in fact, the relationship between the two has been hostile since more than 20 years ago, and they have even been life and death against each other, and they have long torn their faces, disguised as a ball of harmony Compared with the current undisguised comparison, Lin Qingtian still feels more comfortable now, does not play official, has something to say, and speaks freely.

"How can you not care? It's because I care, so I agree, the reform will be implemented in this year, at least in my tenure, with my credit, if I retire in the reform, it will really be a slap in the face, now like this, although my prestige will suffer a certain loss, but it will not be serious to the extent of fatality, and you and I both know that the reform will hurt my prestige at most, and it will not threaten the fundamental, the dissolution of the six ministries, there will be countless more positions of real power, while I am in power, I can also fight for more for the southwest faction, as long as I get enough positions, even if there are no six departments, the southwest faction still has the right to speakIt's at least a lot easier than waiting until I'm out of power, right?"

"You're honest enough. ”

The Emperor said sarcastically.

"If I don't confess these things to you, don't you know?"

Lin Qingtian asked with a sneer.

"I don't know, it doesn't make sense, you should know that you can't stop me, and you can't stop the royal faction, maybe you can get some benefits for the southwest faction before you step down, but you can't control the general trend, what you take, the royal family will get it back sooner or later." ”

The Emperor's tone grew more and more indifferent.

"yes, sooner or later, I'll get it back. ”

Lin Qingtian muttered to himself, and was silent for a long time before he said in a gloomy tone: "Make a deal, Wang Fuxing." ”

Say. ”

The emperor's tone was indifferent.

"Ye Nianlun can take over, Chen Hualou will be in charge of the cabinet, Lin Guodong can also be in the permanent position, Guo Tianlong can also go to the Ministry of Supervision, I will implement the reform immediately, some interests of the southwest faction, you want, I can call the shots to give you some, after the dissolution of the Sixth Ministry, some real power positions, we can discuss it, Yun Lao's death, I will not pursue Lin Xuanyuan again, what do you think?"

Lin Qingtian sat on the boat, let the fish bite the bait and let the fishing rod lie together, and said in a calm tone.

His few words almost made all the efforts of the Wang family over the years come true.

The emperor remained motionless and said in a calm tone, "What are your conditions?"

"Conditions?"

Lin Qingtian laughed at himself, turned his head, looked at the emperor and said, "My condition is that within one year, the imperial family must return to the Shenzhou Empire, and return during my term of office, do you agree?!"

The emperor took a deep breath and did not speak.

Lin Qingtian squinted his eyes, and after saying what he said just now, he seemed to be relaxed.

He stretched out his hand to the emperor and said with a smile: "Wang Fuxing, come back." ”

He paused, and then the supreme head of the Shenzhou Empire said the last three words of today's negotiation to the biggest old enemy in his life.

"I throw in the towel. ”
