Chapter 156: Can't Attack
Fingers tapped lightly on the back of the chair, and Chen Zhenjiang ignored the royal family's pleas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to his original idea, peace should come first. Even if it is at the cost of paying tens of billions of taels of silver for this, it will not hesitate.
Once an agreement is reached, although the Foreign Affairs Office and the Internal Affairs Office have suffered heavy losses, the imperial family heritage still exists, and it is far from being something that the major families can shake.
As long as he cultivates and recuperates for thirty or fifty years, the royal family is still the royal family that needs to be looked up to by the major families. Today's shame will slowly fade into oblivion with the passage of time.
However, Lin Chen's appetite seemed to exceed his expectations.
A Chen Tianhui actually dared to open his mouth to extort high-grade elixir spiritual materials and spiritual weapons worth three billion taels of silver. Immediately afterwards, he actually borrowed the imperial grandson Chenyue to extort high-grade elixir artifacts and silver tickets worth four billion taels of silver.
Before the negotiations began, the prelude reached 7 billion taels of silver. Ten billion taels of silver is obviously far from enough.
The Chen family has established the Great Zhou Kingdom for thousands of years, and the wealth they have accumulated is an unimaginable number. Ten billion taels of silver is nothing at all. Even if it's 100 billion taels, it just makes the royal family hurt their bones.
It's one thing to be able to get it, and it's another thing to be able to take it.
The compensation of less than 10 billion taels has not been unheard of by the royal family before. With thousands of years of history, the royal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom has not offended some unprovoked figures or forces. The compensation has always been less than 10 billion taels. Once again, it is only necessary to spread the word that Lin Chen is the core disciple of a certain great sect.
Although the royal family still lost face, it was not the first time, and it was nothing to do it again.
But if it is more than 10 billion taels, or even tens of billions of taels of silver, it will be completely different. In Chen Zhenjiang's eyes, this silver is just the difference between making them feel a little more distressed or a little less distressed, but in the eyes of ordinary people, there is a huge gap between the two...... Chen Zhenjiang was sure that paper would not be able to contain the fire, and once the news spread, the patriarchs of the major families would inevitably gather to discuss ways to continue to weaken the imperial family.
He didn't have to think about it to know that there were many ways, and the most important one was to spread the news on a large scale first, which made the people of the Great Zhou people panic. Immediately afterwards, the outside joined forces with neighboring countries to induce them to attack the Great Zhou Kingdom, constantly weakening the strength of the imperial family.
Inside, they contacted the city lords of each city to support them to disobey the yang and yin, dig the corners of the royal family, and even raise troops to rebel, thus greatly weakening the control of the royal family.
Finally, it is to constantly assassinate members of the royal family or create various scandals related to the royal family, and frantically suppress the prestige and strength of the royal family.
As a result, it is very likely that the Great Zhou Kingdom will fall apart and collapse with a bang. In this way, the major families can surface, join forces, and after some fighting and fighting, a family that is enough to regain control of the Great Zhou Kingdom will finally be born.
This process may take hundreds of years, but it may only take a few decades.
The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, in fact, thousands of years ago, the Chen family changed from a big family to a royal family.
Lin Chen's asking price is too high, but if he doesn't negotiate, he can't do it either. Even more harmful.
The reason is naturally that Lin Chen's strength is too terrifying.
If the two sides do not negotiate, according to the current situation, all the power of the imperial family will be exhausted. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will not take tens or hundreds of years, once the power of the royal family cannot be strong enough to crush the joint efforts of the major families, within a year or two, the royal family will have to face the catastrophe of annihilation.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Zhenjiang suddenly looked at Chen Tianhui: "You have entered and exited Luofeng Valley twice in two days, how sure are you that you can walk in alone without being affected by hallucinations?"
"If Lin Chen doesn't change the arrangement, I'm ten percent sure that I can easily enter and exit Luofeng Valley. Chen Tianhui said with confidence.
"Entering Luofeng Valley twice, has there been any change in pace?" asked Chen Zhenjiang.
Chen Tianhui shook his head: "Nothing has changed. ”
Chen Zhenjiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, since the Snowfly King has memorized the method of easily entering and exiting Luofeng Valley, what are we waiting for?" an older royal family couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "We can completely mobilize enough ground level masters to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”
Chen Zhenjiang shook his head with some difficulty: "It's not that simple, I'm afraid that Lin Chen has already guessed the reason why we sent the Lacewing King over." ”
"This is impossible, the Lacewing King has always been in charge of the treasure vault and rarely goes out. He has the ability to remember, and he showed it when he was younger. Not to mention others, even a few of us old guys suddenly remembered. ”
"He may not know the Lacewing's ability to remember, but he may not be able to guess our thoughts. Chen Zhenjiang shook his head: "Otherwise, why did he catch the Lacewing King and ask for high-grade elixir spiritual materials and spiritual weapons worth three billion taels of silver?"
"This ......" The royal family was speechless.
Although the royal family is expensive, it is not priceless. Especially when being blackmailed, in order to save the face and prestige of the royal family, no one will agree to a dime ransom for a mere Lacefly King.
Even if it is the imperial grandson who can inherit the throne in the future, it is worth two or three billion taels of silver. Moreover, the premise is that the news can be blocked and will not spread in an uproar.
If it is rumored, even if it is the emperor's grandson, it is worthless, unless this emperor's grandson is gifted and talented, and his talent is among the top existences among the heirs of the past generations.
The face and prestige of the royal family are the most important.
"I just ransomed the Lacewing King, and asked us to take out a high-grade elixir and silver tickets worth four billion taels of silver to redeem Chenyue. Don't you think that this Lin Chen's actions seem to be forcing us to attack Luofeng Valley?" Chen Zhenjiang asked again.
Everyone was still speechless, Lin Chen's actions were indeed a bit like provoking the royal family, forcing the royal family to launch a strong attack on Luo Feng Valley.
If Lin Chen guessed another reason why the royal family sent the Lacewing King to negotiate, it would make sense.
First exchange the Lacewing King for a good price, and then deliberately use Chenyue to stimulate the royal family, forcing the royal family to launch a strong attack on Luo Feng Valley.
Once the arrangement is changed, it is very likely that the large number of ground level masters who poured into Luofeng Valley will be wiped out.
If this is the case, the power of the imperial family will be greatly reduced, and it will have to rely on negotiations.
At that time, whether it is to negotiate or continue to consume with the royal family, Lin Chen's advantage will be extremely obvious.
can't wait, the only ones who can't afford it are the royal family.
Seeing that the royal family fell into silence, Kang Dale sneered in his heart. He understood a little more thoroughly than Chen Zhenjiang, and he really wanted to tell Chen Zhenjiang that Lin Chen's two lion openings were to prevent him from entering the palace in the future, and the royal family would see that the situation was wrong and transfer a lot of wealth.
However, he held back.
Now, it was not the time for him to laugh out loud in front of Chen Zhenjiang.
He believed that as long as Lin Chen didn't change his mind, this day would definitely not make him wait too long. (To be continued.) )
