Lin Qingtian once again remembered when Ye Nianlun had just become a giant, at that time, there were almost as many people who were not optimistic about Ye Nianlun's future as there were people who were optimistic about his future, Lin Qingtian occupied the highest position in the empire, and he had been on the throne for five years, and for five years, he had constantly suppressed the behemoth of the royal family, which was composed of several major factions, and deliberately cultivated the strength of the southwest faction, and finally made the southwest faction complete a beautiful transcendence.

At that time, it was the time when Lin Qingtian was most high-spirited, the uneasiness of the royal family and the silence of the royal family became part of his life's achievements, and he really felt that the general trend of the world was under his control, so he paved the way for every heavyweight in the southwest faction, and even chose his own successor.

Gao Changhe is his favorite candidate, this is not a talent he discovered halfway, but when Lin Qingtian was still in the position of a department-level cadre, he followed the real descendants of his side, Lin Qingtian is climbing up, and every time Gao Changhe is promoted, almost all of them are inseparable from Lin Qingtian's driving role behind him.

Just this grace of knowing can make Gao Changhe loyally serve his death.

If Gao Changhe can take over Lin Qingtian's class, then Lin Qingtian can be sure that even if he retires, he will almost be in the position of a supreme emperor.

The Southwest faction will also be more glorious and glorious.

What a wonderful prospect?

As for the royal family, to be honest, Lin Qingtian didn't plan to completely destroy the royal family from the beginning, he didn't want to, and he couldn't do it, not to mention how much impact the destruction of the royal family would bring to the empire today when the big factions of the empire were almost withering, it was Li Donglei's existence that also made Lin Qingtian dare not act rashly.

At most, he only thinks about continuously compressing the living space of the royal family, preferably to the extent that the southern faction is now.

Since the founding of the country, the southern faction has always been the heavyweight political group of the empire, and it still is, and the current southern faction is much stronger than twenty years ago, but the right to speak is much smaller than before, not because the southern faction is not strong, but because the southwest faction and the royal faction are too prominent.

The existence of Li Donglei makes the possibility of the destruction of the royal family almost zero, and Lin Qingtian's plan is to let the royal family continue to weaken, weaken to the lowest trough, and the trough that can no longer be lower.

What is the lowest point of the royal line?

At least retain a seat on the Standing Committee, occupy a small number of committee positions in the decision-making bureau, and firmly control the municipality Huating, the largest province of the empire, Wu Yue, as well as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and southern Fujian, and strongly influence the Nanhe Province adjacent to Wu Yue.

Huating used to be the place where Li Donglei served, and his influence is still deep-rooted, and Ye Wei, the former secretary of Huating, is the emperor's confidante.

Wu Yue Province, which was the territory where the royal family first rose, the fundamental place of the royal line, or the place where Zou Rente, Ye Nianlun, and Guo Zhinu once served, also had no possibility of being captured by the southwest faction.

As for Southern Fujian Province, Ye Nianlun was the governor of Southern Fujian Province before he served as the first secretary of Wuyue Province.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the provinces where Ye Jinhua, the former minister of the imperial family and the former minister of the imperial supervision department, rose up.

Nanhe Province, which is also a very close area grasped by the royal family, and there are also royal veterans who have served.

A member of the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau, a municipality directly under the Central Government, and the control of three and a half provinces, plus individual decision-making bureau members in the central departments of the capital.

This strength, if it was placed twenty years ago, would definitely be a super behemoth, but now, it is only the lowest strength of the royal family, and it is also the lowest point expected.

Lin Qingtian was very satisfied with this idea, and was even ready to put it into practice, the only position left by the Wang family in his heart was the prime minister, which belonged to the position of Chen Hualou, which had long been determined.

Ye Nianlun?

Although he is young, it would be good to be a deputy prime minister.

His plan was perfect, and his promotion to the throne was also smooth, and the two deputy heads of state were appointed at the same time, except for the initial period of statehood, it was the first time in the history of the empire that two deputy heads of state appeared and entered the permanent at the same time.

Gao Changhe's starting point at the beginning was also higher than Ye Nianlun's, and he comprehensively assisted Lin Qingtian in his work, and was in charge of foreign affairs, the Criminal Department, the Communist Youth League, the United War, the Women's Federation, the Federation of Overseas Chinese, and many other aspects of work.

However, Ye Nianlun's power is mainly concentrated in party affairs, as the first academician of the Central Academician Bureau, his power is also restricted by the southwest faction, so more often, he can only firmly control the Central Party School.

Ye Nianlun did not show any dissatisfaction with this, but continued to be low-key, silent, honest, as if he had accepted his fate.

Then, a few months after the end of the plenary session of the Central Committee, in the spring of the following year, after the end of the National Assembly, Chen Hualou directly entered the cabinet from Nanyue, and in less than a month after taking office, he showed a jaw-dropping hard-line explosiveness.

In stark contrast, Ye Nianlun is even more inconspicuous.

Lin Qingtian thought silently, he suddenly found that he couldn't remember when Ye Nianlun grew up, and he grew to the point where he felt a mortal threat.

In his mind, what always comes to mind is Ye Nianlun's silence and indifference, as well as a gentle but obedient smile, it is behind this smile that his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his prestige is getting higher and higher, until today, he sits calmly, looks at himself, and says to himself that he must!

A must!

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became delicate.

In the eyes of everyone, this is the most formal challenge launched by the future prince to the current top leader of the empire, and at this time when there is still more than a year before the replacement of the old and the new, Ye Nianlun, who has grown up thoroughly, began to shake Lin Qingtian's position without hesitation.

Tough.

Lin Qingtian finally remembered that many years ago, when Ye Nianlun was still the governor of a province, he was a leader known for his toughness, so tough that even the top leaders at that time were willing to be in a vassal position.

At that time, Chen Hualou, who was Ye Nianlun's deputy, was a moderate who did not show his dew.

Now, how is it all upside down?

And the reversal is natural, without the slightest abruptness.

Lin Qingtian subconsciously glanced at Chen Hualou, Deputy Prime Minister Chen's expression was fierce, and his attitude was the same as Ye Nianlun's.

He couldn't quite understand the cooperation between Chen Hualou and Ye Nianlun, but he was sure that there must be an extraordinary tacit understanding between the two.

The two are not only the top giants of the royal family, they are also friends for many years, and they are also the relationship between their children and their families.

Chen Hualou's son Wang Tongtian and Ye Nianlun's only daughter Ye Qingxue, their marriage is approaching, right?

Lin Qingtian smiled suddenly, his face was a little ugly, and he felt uncomfortable, he suddenly felt that he was also quite sad, at least now he no longer has the high-spirited mood of a few years ago, sitting in the position of the top leader of the empire, but he was forced helpless by his deputy, and the initiative was pitiful, what a grievance this is?

Except for the supreme head of state who has been in power for ten years more than 20 years but is like a puppet, it is estimated that he is in the most embarrassing situation.

"I agree to vote. ”

A voice rang out in the conference room.

Chen Hualou opened his mouth lightly, his expression unfazed.

"Agreed. ”

"Agreed. ”

"Agreed. ”

"Agreed. ”

Zou Rente and Guo Tianlong also spoke one after another, and the last one to speak was Yang Xiuyuan, the prime minister of the empire who still looked unfathomable.

With Ye Nianlun, nine giants, five of them have already agreed to vote.

And the agreement at this time also represents their position.

Once the vote is executed, the fate of Yunshanluan can be imagined.

Lin Qingtian glanced at a few people, and a sneer that was not light or heavy subconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Are you in such a hurry?

As soon as Ye Nianlun became tough, do you all think the time is ripe?

In such a hurry to usurp the throne?!

Today's supreme head of the empire is still surnamed Lin.

He took a deep breath and shook his head slowly, but very resolutely: "Yun Lao's situation, Comrade Tianlong can follow it, but no matter what, Yun Lao has worked hard and made outstanding achievements for the empire, and it is okay to investigate the case, but it is necessary to take care of the emotions of the imperial heroes, no matter whether Yun Lao is at fault or not, he must not let him have radical thoughts, I will also communicate with Yun Lao as soon as possible to understand the situation, and there is no need to vote, this matter will be pressed first." ”

Press it!

With more than half of the opponents at present, Lin Qingtian chose to press it.

This is completely cheeky to use the authority of his own leader.

Helpless, but the most effective.

Even Chen Hualou and Ye Nianlun couldn't say anything at this time.

If Lin Qingtian doesn't even have the power to suppress it, then this number one is really meaningless.

The top leaders of the two royal families glanced at each other, then nodded, their faces expressionless.

"Let's move on to the next topic. ”

Lin Qingtian let out a long breath, rubbed his forehead, which was already in some pain, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in front of him, and said sullenly: "It's to discuss personnel, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Nianlun.

In terms of personnel, the officials department, the Central Academician Bureau, and the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau all have the right to speak, and the least discussed is the position arrangement of the deputy governor level with real power, this kind of discourse, Ye Nianlun almost didn't have much power before, but now, his right to speak in this area has also grown to a terrifying point.

"Okay. ”

Ye Nianlun nodded and opened the folder in front of him.

The atmosphere in the conference room became more and more oppressive.

After the time of the clouds, the giants are well aware that the real meeting has just begun.

Or rather, the negotiations have just begun.

It's not that the clouds and mountains can't be taken down, the key is to see how to trade.

What Lin Qingtian said about pressing down, paying attention to his emotions, and communicating with Yun Shanluan in person is basically all nonsense, he is undoubtedly waiting for the Wang family to give a bargaining chip.

And this bargaining chip is now in Ye Nianlun's hands.

The most sensitive personnel transfer is definitely not a small temptation.

At the meeting, Lin Xuanyuan yawned and stretched as if no one was around.

He raised his wrist and looked at the table below.

Half past eleven in the evening.

The meeting has been going on for three hours.

It's really tiring.

Lin Xuanyuan thought silently.

"Tired?"

A voice sounded, Ye Chunqiu, who was sitting next to Lin Xuanyuan, smiled slightly, and asked casually, both of them are specially invited, and they don't have to worry about the serious atmosphere here.

"It's boring. ”

Lin Xuanyuan smiled and nodded.

Ye Chunqiu smiled slightly, reached out and patted Lin Xuanyuan's palm, and said with a smile: "It's almost over." ”

The initial temptation has passed, and it will not be too difficult to negotiate the real thing.
