Before the start of the war, Lin Xiaocao had already begun to subconsciously calculate the bargaining chips that could be used to negotiate between the two sides, this time the cooperation was very important, the Wang family gave such a big credit and reputation to Yang Xiuyuan, in contrast, Yang Xiuyuan's risk was not small, this is even a major event that can be related to his evaluation in history, success and defeat, become, history may evaluate him as an outstanding or outstanding leader of the empire from so-and-so to so-and-so, defeated, maybe he served as the prime minister of the empire in such and such years, and was expelled from the party in such and such years。

For a person like Yang Xiuyuan, who has been in politics all his life, reputation is something more important than life.

And the Wang family also paid enough price in order to compensate Yang Xiuyuan for the bitter consequences of failure, and Chen Hualou also grasped Yang Xiuyuan's eagerness to do something, so in contrast, the negotiations should not fall into an insoluble deadlock.

The only difficulty may be the place of the next member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Council, which is now eagerly watched by all parties.

The next four giants of the Wang family, Ye Nianlun, Chen Hualou, Lin Xuanyuan, and the remaining one is now an academician of the Central Academician Bureau, a member of the Decision-making Bureau, and the Minister of the Imperial Criminal Department Guo Zhinu, who is also the son-in-law of former Prime Minister Li Donglei.

The importance of the God of War King Lin Xuanyuan in the royal family is self-evident.

Ye Nianlun and Chen Hualou are attacking the position of the next Empire No. 1 and No. 2.

The Ministry of Supervision, known as the party whip, has always been the position of the Wang family, although it is not a back garden, but the power of the Wang family has always been dominant, and Guo Zhinu has almost been designated as the next Standing Committee member and Minister of Inspection.

On the side of the southwest faction, the current senior deputy head of state will continue to stay in office after the change, and it is possible that he will continue to become a member of the Standing Committee, and the deputy head will take Ye Nianlun's position as the deputy party and preside over the Central Academician Bureau, as for the other president of the Imperial Political Association, and the position of the Standing Committee in charge of the construction of imperial civilization will not change.

The position locked by the southern faction is the Imperial National Assembly, and now the position of Zou Rente, the leader of the royal line, is the number three person in the empire.

The remaining one member of the Standing Committee is elected in the Cabinet, a member of the Standing Committee of the Bureau, and a deputy prime minister.

This position is now the focus of fierce competition among all parties, and the Wang family naturally wants to get it, which will not only completely let Chen Hualou control the overall situation, but also the Wang family will occupy four people in the seven-person group, and it will be powerful so that the opponent can not resist.

The southwest faction will not stop, a Chen Hualou has already given them a headache, if the deputy prime minister of the Standing Committee is his own person, at least he can check and balance Chen Hualou to a certain extent, at least he can't let him say anything in the cabinet, restore Li Donglei's former prestige, a prime minister can force the supreme head of state to only serve one term, for the southwest faction, this is not only a shame, but also an incalculable loss, they have enough reason to have a grudge against Li Donglei.

The Southern faction's goal is relatively simple, and they desperately need it, but not for the sake of fighting, but to expand the influence of the Southern faction.

In the decision-making bureau, the only one that does not have the support of the Standing Committee giants is the neutral faction, they also want it, but they know that they have little hope, and they are currently spending most of their time on the sidelines, occasionally fanning the flames, but rarely making a move.

As for the local factions, the stage of the decision-making bureau is destined to be only looked up to.

Under such a big background, the Wang family made it clear that they wanted to use Yang Xiuyuan, and after Yang Xiuyuan readily agreed, he naturally hoped that the Wang family could give up the position of deputy prime minister and turn to support their people.

This quota, to give or not to give?

How do you say what you don't give?

How to give if you give?

Lin Xiaocao rubbed her temples and raised her eyes to look ahead.

Dusk had passed, and the hidden dragon sea in front of him was already in sight, and the neat guards stood straight in place, motionless, the rows of bayonets in their hands shining with cold light.

The four Mercedes-Benzes next to the Rolls-Royce were parked less than three hundred meters away from the gate of Yinlonghai.

The Rolls-Royce that Lin Xiaocao was riding went straight inside under the salute of the guards and headed for the Golden Autumn Pavilion.

The night is quiet and the lights are on.

Yang Xiuyuan, the current prime minister of the empire, stood at the door in person, looked at the Rolls-Royce that was slowly driving over with a smile, and took a few steps forward to greet him.

Gao Xiangdong, the head of the household department, followed Yang Xiuyuan step by step, and he was also kind.

The driver of the Rolls-Royce sat in the car and waited, and Lin Xiaocao took Chen Qingyu to get out of the car and shake hands with Yang Xiuyuan.

"Hello Elder Yang, when we met for the first time, you yourself looked much better than on the news broadcast. ”

Lin Xiaocao smiled and held Yang Xiuyuan's hand and shook it slightly.

"After work, the distinguished guest is coming, I am happy in my heart, haha, Xuanyuan, we are meeting for the first time, but I have heard many of your deeds, welcome to the Shenzhou Empire. ”

Yang Xiuyuan's voice was gentle and hearty, not hurried or slow, and his demeanor was like that.

"Thank you. ”

Lin Xiaocao smiled and let go of his hand, and nodded with Gao Xiangdong.

"This is Qingyu, right?

Yang Xiuyuan looked at Chen Qingyu, who was smiling dignified and charming beside him, and asked knowingly, his eyes were a little playful.

The young God of War King, who will become his princess is a question that some high-level figures occasionally consider in private, the little princess of the royal family, the eldest lady of the Chen family, and now there is another beauty in the secret service system, Helian Chenxi, even Yang Xiuyuan will think about this problem, now it seems that Helian Chenxi does not have much sense of existence for the time being, but Chen Qingyu and Wang Jinxiu have plays.

"Well, the daughter of Minister Chen of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the niece of Deputy Prime Minister Chen. ”

Lin Xiaocao casually introduced, his expression was light and light, and there was no tension at all about to have an important negotiation.

"Well, I understand this situation, it just so happens that Xiang Dong is going to Building 7 to report to Mr. Chen, Xuanyuan, can you borrow your assistant to show Xiang Dong the way?

Yang Xiuyuan said with a smile, since Lin Xiaocao took the initiative to mention Chen Qingyu's family background, he did not shy away from it, tonight's negotiation can only be the two of them present, it is not appropriate to have one more Gao Xiangdong or Chen Qingyu, take this opportunity to send Gao Xiangdong and Chen Qingyu to Building No. 7.

In fact, where is there any work that needs to be reported, the work of the household department, executive deputy minister Liu Yuncheng generally directly crosses the high to the east to report to Chen Hualou, although Chen Hualou does not command Gao Xiangdong, but also has the strength to influence the household department, the size of the household department, there is almost nothing she does not know.

Today, Gao Xiangdong took the initiative to come to the door, which is undoubtedly just a signal to the outside world, even if Minister Gao ascended the No. 7 building of Yinlonghai just to greet Vice Prime Minister Chen, how are you after eating, it will be interpreted by outsiders who do not know the truth.

"Of course. ”

Lin Xiaocao smiled and nodded.

Chen Qingyu took a step forward, handed over a small bag in his hand, smiled and said softly: "Old Yang, this is a gift specially selected by the prince for you, I heard my father and aunt say that you like to collect jade jade, this piece of mutton fat jade was personally prepared by the prince after knowing the news, I hope you can like it." ”

What she said was naturally kind words, Lin Xiaocao didn't have much effort to prepare gifts for the bigwigs of other factions in person, but the things he gave out were naturally not ordinary, a large piece of tiger-shaped jade carved from the best mutton fat jade, lifelike, just matched with Yang Xiuyuan's physiognomy, worth more than eight figures, it was something that Wang Fuyu auctioned off a few years ago, and it was originally kept as a gift.

"Thank you, Xuanyuan has a heart. ”

Yang Xiuyuan nodded with a smile, glanced at Lin Xiaocao, did not shirk, and accepted it calmly, high-level politics, some things that seem to be taboo at the grassroots level are not obvious, and when he enters the decision-making bureau, he is the leader of the party and the empire, a high-ranking official at this level, and the economic problem is the same as the style of some department-level cadres, if something happens, it will definitely be turned out, but no one will use this as an excuse to attack if there is no accident.

At Yang Xiuyuan's level, there is no such thing as corruption, and they may be defeated, but economic problems, style problems, commonly known as money and mistresses, are all secondary, and mistakes in line and decision-making are the excuses for political opponents to attack them, and it is only a simple economic problem, which is difficult to affect their foundation.

The deputy prime minister of the empire wrote a large list of zeros on the property declaration, that is tens of billions, as the only legal wife of the emperor, the imperial family now has half of everything, how did the money come from?

Yang Xiuyuan's daughter-in-law is also a famous strong woman in the empire, assets, economy, bribery or something, but in the eyes of such a person, it is nothing.

"Assistant Chen, let's go over now. ”

Gao Xiangdong, who had been smiling, whispered.

Chen Qingyu nodded, said a request with a smile, nodded goodbye to Lin Xiaocao and Yang Xiuyuan, and left with Gao Xiangdong.

"Xuanyuan, I know you like to eat meat, I specially asked the kitchen to get some good things, but it is estimated that it will be later, let's go to the study to talk first?"

Yang Xiuyuan watched the backs of the two walk away, turned around and smiled at Lin Xiaocao.

Lin Xiaocao nodded noncommittally, an old-fashioned leader like Yang Xiuyuan rarely has the habit of talking about things with people at the wine table, especially when talking about serious matters that are important.

The two walked into the study of Jinqiu Pavilion one after the other, Yang Xiuyuan turned to the back of the desk, and chuckled: "You gave me a gift, I always want to return the gift, I don't have anything here that can make you look at it, but there is a word here that can be given to you, if you like it, take it back and hang it, if you don't like it, take it back and put it up, there is my payment on it, I hope that after many years, Yang Xiuyuan's three words can have some meaning." ”

Lin Xiaocao nodded with a smile and took the words handed over by Yang Xiuyuan, but his heart was pang.

I hope that many years later, Yang Xiuyuan's three words can have some meaning.

This sentence is meaningful.

He smiled and looked at the words in his hand.

On the best rice paper, the block letters of the eight characters leap up one by one, and the strength is strong.

The brave are not afraid, and the benevolent are not worried.

Lin Xiaocao narrowed her eyes and smiled.

The first four words can be said to be about him Lin Xuanyuan, and it can also be said to be praise.

The last four words seem to have nothing to do with him.

It's like admiration, and it's like admonishing something.

The benevolent are not worried.

Are you talking about the emperor?
