Chapter 22: Into the Dust
Lin Qingtian, the supreme head of the Southwest faction, Lin Fengxue, the head of the first wealthy family in the Shenzhou Empire.
Wang Lin Xuanyuan, the god of war of the royal family, Ye Nianlun, deputy head of state, Chen Hualou, deputy prime minister, Wang Tianxiong, guardian of the empire, Chen Fengnan of the military department, and Guo Zhinu of the criminal department.
Yang Xiuyuan, the imperial prime minister of the southern faction.
Although the leaders of the three major factions have not yet fully arrived, it is certain that those who are now sitting in the God of War King's Mansion are the most eloquent heavyweight leaders of the three major factions.
Therefore, today's meeting can not even be said to be a summit meeting between the three major factions.
The meetings held here are not destined to be widely known, but they are even more authoritative than the meetings of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau and the plenary meetings of the Policy Bureau.
Therefore, after Lin Qingtian refused to give the elite of the God of War Royal Mansion an official name to let them hunt down the attackers, several leaders of the royal family did not hold on.
Although Lin Xuanyuan had some regrets, he also knew that this was the best choice.
In the case of an overwhelming majority in the number of leaders of the royal faction, it is natural that it can be voted, but such a vote does not have any effect at all, the number of members of the decision-making bureau and the standing committee of the southwest faction is no less than that of the royal faction, Lin Qingtian has occupied a favorable position as the number one, and after going back, a plenary meeting of the decision-making bureau can be held in minutes to reject the vote within the God of War Palace, once such a situation occurs, it may not only be against the elite of the God of War King faction to track down the murderer, but to suppress it.
This is something that the royal family does not want to see no matter what.
And in addition to the Wang faction and the Southwest faction, there was also an old fox from the Southern faction sitting there.
Although Yang Xiuyuan, the prime minister of the empire, did not give up his seat to the supreme head Lin Qingtian in accordance with the rules of officialdom just now, but this is a private occasion, and no one can force him to do anything, Yang Xiuyuan's refusal to give up his seat directly cut Lin Qingtian's face and make him embarrassed, but that's all, if he supports the God of War Mansion to send the elite out, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.
The Palace of the God of War.
This has always been the heart disease of any top tycoon of the empire except for the royal family.
The armed forces here have always been full of vigilance for the bigwigs, for the personnel transfer and gun distribution in the palace, the major factions have always been staring at the enemy very much, if the God of War Royal Mansion sends elites to carry out activities in the name of the official, then it is definitely not only the southwest faction that can't sleep, even the southern faction will be worried.
On the contrary, if there was a chance to suppress the God of War Mansion and weaken his strength, Yang Xiuyuan would not hesitate to step on it.
In terms of the attitude towards the God of War Palace, the views of the southwest faction and the southern faction must be the same, and now the royal faction is carrying out in-depth cooperation with the southern faction, although Yang Xiuyuan transferred Wen Keliang, the first secretary of Dongshan Province, and then transferred the banner man of the royal faction ten years later, Huangfu Juncong Jiangnan, to Dongshan, the back garden of the southwest faction, as the leader of the royal faction, but this is a local game between the two major factions, and it does not affect the overall situation, and the relationship between the two sides is quite good honeymoon period, if the southern faction is pushed to the southwest faction camp to suppress the dark side of the royal palace of the God of War, then the relationship between the two sides will definitely have a riftγ
The most important thing is that Lin Qingtian is still sitting in the position of the supreme head, although the royal family is now counterattacking on a large scale, but the form of expression is extremely restrained, all the actions are just to show their strength, it is not impossible to let Ye Nianlun hold the supreme power in advance, but you must pay attention to the means, if the method is too tough, although the benefits are huge in the short term, but in the long run, the gains outweigh the losses, and it will give everyone a feeling that the royal family is too domineering.
Therefore, Lin Xuanyuan directly withdrew the notice of sending the elite and asking the official to give the elite of the God of War Mansion an official identity, although everyone knew that this was only a nominal retraction, but as Lin Fengxue thought, this name seems inconspicuous, but it is very important, without him, the elite of the God of War Mansion will inevitably be a little inconvenient when they are operating in secret, at least they cannot eradicate dissidents openly.
About forty minutes of summit talks.
Lin Qingtian then took the senior deputy head and Lin Fengxue to say goodbye, this place, every second of sitting, Lin Qingtian was as uncomfortable as a needle prick.
Before parting, when Lin Xuanyuan, the God of War King, shook hands with Lin Qingtian, the supreme head of the empire, even Lin Fengxue could see how reluctant the two sides were.
Lin Xuanyuan had an undisguised sneer and provocation on his face, his eyes were as cold as a knife, holding the palm of the other party, eager to pinch every inch of the other party's bones.
Lin Qingtian probably had the same idea, but he didn't have the strength, so his smile was extremely far-fetched.
The two sides didn't even have a polite word, and after a symbolic handshake and a symbolic nod, Lin Qingtian took people away directly.
Yang Xiuyuan deliberately waited for a while, and waited until Lin Qingtian's big red flag with a special license plate but was not too sensitive left the God of War Palace, and then he patted Lin Xuanyuan on the shoulder with a smile, said hello, and went downstairs directly.
"Impulsive. β
Lin Xuanyuan stood in front of the window of the war hall again, looking out the window, he couldn't see the shadow of Lin Qingtian's big red flag at the end of his sight, but his eyes were still cold, and he was impulsive, but there was no regret in his eyes, he turned around, looked at several royal leaders with helpless or appreciative faces, and said with a smile: "But it's really cool." β
"It's not just impulsive, it's just reckless. β
Chen Hualou said with a tense and serious face, today's Deputy Prime Minister Chen is dressed in black professional women's clothes, with a delicate figure and a delicate face, but his aura is monstrous, extremely strong, and the lilac limited edition Hermes women's silk scarf around his neck adds a touch of nobility and feminine softness to her, and the whole person looks like a wonderful young woman in her early thirties.
Lin Xuanyuan shrugged his shoulders, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I deliberately wanted to provoke him, originally I thought he would let his bodyguard take me down, it seems that he still underestimated him, the God of War King humiliating the supreme head and the God of War King killing the supreme leader's bodyguard seems to be not much different, but the blow to his prestige is two levels of power, who knows that he didn't even turn his face when I mentioned the matter of him cutting off his children and grandchildren, the old guy can bear it enough, it's not simple." β
"If he had been simple, he wouldn't be where he is now. β
Ye Nianlun smiled indifferently, and said in a calm voice, the deputy head of state, who is now the most promising to become the supreme leader of the empire in two years, has a peaceful temperament, and the whole person is introverted and introverted, and the whole person seems to have no temper.
Now a large number of high-ranking officials in the Shenzhou Empire believe that the reason why the Wang family is so strong headed by Vice Prime Minister Chen Hualou is to escort the mild-tempered Vice Head of State.
But Lin Xuanyuan naturally knows the inside story, this Deputy Head of Ye is the one who is really strong, and Chen Hualou's temper is really gentle, when he was the governor of the imperial province of southern Fujian, he was able to treat the first secretary of southern Fujian as a fierce figure of his subordinates, how could he be as harmless to people and animals as he is now?
It's all about a smooth succession.
"I was only amazed at his forbearance, and I never doubted that the political methods of a person who had personally plotted the destruction of the northern faction were naturally superb. β
Lin Xuanyuan's tone was a little self-deprecating, and when he thought about it deeply, he didn't feel much surprised.
The reason why Lin Qingtian cut off his children and grandchildren was entirely due to the revenge of his stepfather Qin Tianjiao.
Lin Qingtian even endured this back then, and now it is even more impossible to turn his face because someone else mentioned it.
The muscles on the faces of every big man of the royal family present twitched slightly.
Knowing Lin Xuanyuan's background, they naturally knew what destroying the northern faction meant to Lin Xuanyuan.
Northern factions.
Twenty years ago, it was also a super-political bloc that could influence the situation in the empire.
In terms of momentum and prestige, it is basically a super force that can be on an equal footing with the royal faction, the southwest faction, and the southern faction twenty years ago.
More than 20 years ago, the empire was as the emperor said, with many factions at the same time, and it was impossible for one faction to occupy the position of the four decision-making giants today.
For each faction, being able to have a member of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau is enough to become a super faction.
For example, in the royal family twenty years ago, only the prime minister of the empire, Li Donglei, was the only one who was in the permanent position.
Twenty years ago, the southwest faction was only the supreme head of the empire, Xue Zhiguo.
The northern faction is a behemoth that can win a place for a giant every time there is a big change since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
They are based in the municipality of Kitaku, which is adjacent to the capital Kyushu City, but their influence covers most of the country's provinces.
Now when it comes to the northern faction, the most obvious representative family is the Kyushu Chenglin family.
The original Kyushu City Lin family is far more beautiful than now, even if Lin Congzheng is now transferred to the Imperial Development Committee as the first deputy director, it is more likely that he will be elected as a member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau at the Central Plenary Meeting a few months later and officially become the leader of the party and the country, even so, the Kyushu City Lin family twenty years ago is far stronger than now.
At that time, Lin Huaiyu, the head of the Lin family in Kyushu City, served as a member of the decision-making bureau and the first secretary of the Party Committee of Northern City.
The number one, a veritable feudal official!
In addition to Lin Huaiyu, the immediate family members of the Lin family also occupy the two central committee members, and they are all senior central committee members, a provincial governor, and a minister of the empire's heavyweight ministries.
Lin Huaiyu personally picked it up and placed it at the governor level, and there were even more high-ranking officials at the deputy governor level.
Such a top political tycoon on the front line of the empire is only an important part of the northern faction.
At that time, not to mention Lin Fengxue, even Lin Qingtian had not yet been elected as a member of the decision-making bureau, and when he saw Lin Huaiyu, he had to call Secretary Lin politely and respectfully.
The northern factions are beautiful and majestic.
This kind of glory lasted until the great change of office 20 years ago.
In those years, the biggest thing that happened in the imperial political arena was that Li Donglei, the first secretary of Huating directly under the central government, joined the royal family with only the emperor from the Xia family at that time, and became the first high-ranking official at the level of a member of the decision-making bureau of the royal family.
Such a move is tantamount to Li Donglei voluntarily giving up the opportunity to reach the top.
It also started when Li Donglei joined the royal family.
The political landscape of the empire is changing.
Li Donglei, who lacked the thrust of the Xia family, was transferred from Huating to the capital, and his ranking in the party was also surpassed by Xue Zhiguo, and he finally became the prime minister of the empire.
Li Donglei retreated from No. 1 to No. 2, and several other Standing Committee giants will naturally follow suit.
Therefore, because the change of the current was too sudden, the northern faction did not have time to carry out the personnel layout, and the position that originally belonged to them was directly snatched away by Li Donglei, and the most direct consequence was that no one from the northern faction in that session entered the ranks of giants, and only three or four members of the decision-making bureau supported the situation.
A super-political bloc without the leadership of giants.
The huge interests and resources instantly made the major factions eyeing the northern faction.
It's just that at that time, a founding father-level figure of the northern faction was still alive, and his influence could not be underestimated, and everyone did not act according to patience.
At that time, the northern faction was still very optimistic, although there were no giants, but the existence of the patriarch was enough for them to survive, as long as the patriarch could hold out for five years, and when the mid-term change was over, he could take the initiative to request that the central plenary meeting be held in advance to check for the northern faction and let the faction continue to be brilliant.
As a result, the northern faction encountered the second accident after no one entered the normal world.
Several healthy elders suddenly fell seriously ill and died after less than a month.
The patriarch's personal physician committed suicide.
While the party gave the patriarch a high rating, the northern faction was still busy investigating the circumstances of the veteran's death.
And the northern faction, which has no last protective clothing, has finally attracted a hungry wolf.
The Southwestern faction was the first to strike.
At the beginning, it was only a deputy district head at the level of a deputy department who was investigated.
A huge political storm also started with the deputy district head, and in less than half a month, the district head, as well as the secretary of the district party committee who served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Beifang Municipal Party Committee, were bitten out one after another.
The Imperial Inspectorate intervened forcefully.
Everything went straight out of control.
Less than three months.
Three members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Northern City were dismissed.
The southwestern faction ignored the ugly appearance of the food and directly ate alone.
The strongest bastions of the northern factions were completely breached.
Originally, there were three more members of the Standing Committee, which could not affect the pattern of the northern city, but the most terrible thing was that although the original secretary of the party committee of the northern city was still Lin Huaiyu, the mayor was no longer the general of the northern faction, but belonged to the royal family that had become the climate.
Lim Kuo-dong, who is now a member of the Policy Bureau, an academician of the Central Academician Bureau, an Imperial State Councilor, and a deputy prime minister of the Cabinet, was serving as the mayor of Northern City at that time.
This is a veritable backbone of the royal line.
He was also a secretary who followed Li Donglei for more than ten years.
Li Donglei entered the regular position, Lin Guodong was promoted, and entered the northern city as the second-in-command, with excellent ability, relying on the mountain to be tough, he was naturally unwilling to be overshadowed by Lin Huaiyu in the northern city, and he was eager to open up the situation, so he began to cooperate with the three standing committee members of the southwest faction.
The Standing Committee of the Third Committee, plus the second-in-command, and the four votes, although they still do not have an advantage, they are also a very objective external force.
Subsequently, the Wang family took the initiative to take action.
The third person in the northern city, the deputy secretary was transferred to Kyushu City, and he ascended and descended secretly, and another general of the royal family landed in the northern city.
The deputy secretary in charge of the party and the masses once again divided the voice of the first secretary Lin Huaiyu and the cadres appointed by the head of the Ministry of Officials, and the outsiders in the northern city completely gained a firm foothold.
Subsequently, the owner of the No. 1 Zhuang in the northern city fought against the imperial army by force, and the huge illegal fund-raising case in the northern city, the illegal pyramid scheme, the illegal drug trafficking case, the anti-gang, rhubarb, and the big explosion in the northern city broke out one after another in the northern city.
There are coincidences, and there are also secret plots by the Southwest faction.
Everyone can see that the northern faction is in turmoil, and Lin Huaiyu, as the first secretary, is even more anxious.
The Southwestern faction had no intention of letting him go at all.
The patriarch died, and Lin Huaiyu sat in the base camp, and he was also a member of the decision-making bureau, but his status was much higher than that of several other decision-making bureau members of the northern faction.
The southwest faction directly targeted Lin Huaiyu and the top political tycoon of the Lin family in Kyushu City.
Subsequently, Xue Zhiguo, the leader of the southwest faction at the time and the supreme head who had just ascended to the top, directly convened a plenary meeting of the decision-making bureau, and openly attacked Lin Huaiyu at the meeting.
The meeting ended in less than a month.
Lin Huaiyu took the blame and resigned, announcing his early retirement due to physical condition.
The momentum of the Kyushu city forest family has plummeted.
Some hidden problems in Northern City broke out because of Lin Huaiyu's resignation, and no matter who did it, the black pot was put on Lin Huaiyu's head.
All the officials promoted by Lin Huaiyu were suppressed and purged.
It took two years to defeat the northern factions.
But to bring down the Kyushu Chenglin family, it took less than two months for the southwest faction to collapse.
Lin Huaiyu's resignation also means that the northern faction in the traditional sense is fragmented, and everyone in the faction is panicking.
At this time, Lin Fengxue, who had already been elected as a member of the decision-making bureau, made a decisive move, taking advantage of the panic of the people of the northern faction, to vigorously woo the senior cadres of the northern faction, seal the official and make wishes, give shelter, coercion and temptation, and all kinds of means emerged one after another, and in less than a year, more than seventy percent of the forces of the northern faction were all under the command of the southwest faction.
Even the municipality of the northern city has almost become the backyard of the southwestern faction.
The southwest faction won a complete victory, and its strength caught up with the king faction, which was still the first faction at that time.
All the planning was not Xue Zhiguo, the leader of the southwest faction at that time.
It's Lin Qingtian's planning!
Xue Zhiguo cooperated to put pressure on the northern faction.
All the things that cannot be seen in the dark are carried out by Lin Fengxue.
The northern faction fell.
The Kyushu city forest family is bleak.
The Southwestern faction receives resources from the Northern faction.
Among them, there is another thing that is extremely important to Lin Xuanyuan.
It's still Lin Qingtian's plan.
Lin Fengxue did not hesitate to execute.
The process of execution is very simple, the head of the family, who is now known as the first wealthy family in the empire, just used a stupid woman to directly stab the heart of the Lin family in Kyushu City, which was already dim at that time, or rather, stepped on it.
directly stepped all the glory and pride of the Kyushu Chenglin family into the dust
