The King of Special Warfare

No one believed Xuanyuan Wushang's words.

Just like the forensic doctor has come to the conclusion that Chen Fangqing died normally, no one believes it.

Such a death is too coincidental, and this coincidence means great benefits, so even if it is a real natural death, some people try to conspire it.

Xuanyuan Wushang is a doctor, but his name is unknown, and there is no authoritative argument at all. His so-called normal death, in the eyes of others, is just Li Tianlan dragging someone here for a cutscene, and giving a conclusion of a natural death. , People don't even believe that Xuanyuan Wushang is a doctor.

This kind of conclusion cannot withstand scrutiny, and no one will believe it at all, but Li Tianlan has to show the most basic attitude. When the new group becomes more and more clear, and people continue to quietly change their positions under the influence of Shengshi Fund, Li Tianlan This statement can be said to be unimportant, but it can also be said to be very important.

But on the scene, no one showed any doubts about Xuanyuan Wushang, not even the members of the Chen family.

There was an endless stream of people from the Chen family who came to express their condolences. After all, he was the prime minister of a country. No matter how down-and-out he was, he was not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, most of the people who could get the news were well-informed people. They could know about Chen Fangqing's death. It can also clearly see some possible developments after Chen Fangqing's death.

At this time, no one wanted to offend Li Tianlan, and naturally no one wanted to offend Chen Fangqing. Anyway, it was just a matter of coming here, so no one bothered.

On such an occasion, the other directors of Central Continent had to show up, but it was not suitable to be surrounded by people for a long time, so Li Huacheng took the initiative to speak up and borrowed a side hall from the Chen family to hold a temporary meeting on the spot.

When talking to the Chen family, Li Huacheng's expression and voice were very calm.

But Li Tianlan, Dongcheng Invincible, Zou Mulin and the others all took a deep look at him.

Meeting at Chen's house.

Everyone knows what that means.

The Chen family is not far from Yinlonghai. Under normal circumstances, even if it is a meeting, it should be in Yinlonghai. In fact, they have nothing extra to do here. They have shown their faces, and there is no need to stay here.

Chen Fangqing's death was sudden and special.

In the past hundred years, he was the first director who passed away suddenly before retiring.

So all the directors will show up, the leaders of the councilor level in Youzhou, the giants of the military department will rush over, and in the next three days, the councilors from the entire Central Continent will also come to Youzhou, and then wait for Chen Fangqing's funeral.

If Chen Fangqing has withdrawn,

Before the official funeral, the directors would also come, but not at the same time, or even all of them, and asked the secretary to come over to help maintain the order of the scene, and only attended the farewell ceremony of Chen Fangqing's body during the funeral.

So strictly speaking, after showing up, all the directors have nothing to do. It is enough to leave two secretaries to assist the Chen family.

But now Li Huacheng asked for a meeting at the Chen family.

Is it because the meeting is so urgent that even the distance from here to Yinlonghai is less than 20 kilometers away?

Obviously not.

This is head start!

Holding this high-level meeting in the Chen family has extremely rich meanings, and the most direct meaning is Li Huacheng's dissatisfaction with Li Tianlan.

Holding a meeting here not only put great pressure on Li Tianlan and the wealthy group, but also expressed his attitude towards other groups.

Li Tianlan was expressionless and did not say anything from the beginning to the end.

The Chen family specially organized a relatively quiet room in the backyard for Chen Fangqing.

The room is not very big, so it looks extremely crowded after the high-level people walk in.

There are still many people present today.

Not only the nine council members, but also the three deputy ministers of the cabinet, two national advisers, Bai Zhanfang, the speaker of Youzhou, four and three deputy ministers of the military department, Bai Qingchao, the deputy secretary-general, and the official department, the official department, Members of the Union Ministry and other departments were present.

Li Huacheng sat on the main seat, silently looking at everyone present.

Li Tianlan sat opposite Li Huacheng with a blank expression, without saying a word, his mind wandering.

"I just met the Prime Minister yesterday."

Li Huacheng was silent for about five minutes before he slowly opened his mouth and said, "We chatted very late. Last night, he was still discussing the development of Central Continent with me. Who would have thought that today..."

His tone was full of sincere regret and sigh, no one knew what he really thought.

Guo Wentian took out a cigarette and lit one, and said slowly: "We have had a lot of communication recently. The Prime Minister has been under a lot of pressure recently and often suffers from insomnia. His headache is an old problem, and he talked to the doctor about it, but The doctor didn't have any good solutions, but prescribed some painkillers for him and told him to rest."

Guo Wentian laughed at himself: "Pay attention to rest. As far as I know, the prime minister's schedule has been extremely chaotic in recent years, and a lot of things have happened recently. How can he have any rest?"

There was silence.

"The prime minister has always been very concerned about the affairs of the cabinet. The prime minister's vision has always been very long-term. He pays attention to the future of the cabinet. At the same time, he often reflects on the past of the cabinet, combining the past with the present, summing up experience, and exploring. The road ahead. A few days ago, the Prime Minister mentioned to me that the future of the cabinet still needs new ideas and a new atmosphere, and a hundred schools of thought are contending. Many years ago, we vigorously supported agriculture, and later, we vigorously supported industry. These are correct The measures laid down our current international status, and these years, we have focused on finance and energy, and have neglected other areas, so we have missed some opportunities. Therefore, the Prime Minister feels that after the general election, It is necessary to promote some talents from multiple perspectives in all aspects to enrich the breadth of thinking of the cabinet, he said, and every field of the country should not be abandoned."

A cabinet member suddenly spoke, his tone calm and unhurried.

Li Tianlan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but still didn't speak.

The one who spoke was He Zhengnan, a cabinet member who has been extremely low-key in recent years. The so-called cabinet member is theoretically on the same level as the deputy prime minister, but in fact he is a powerful figure who has great influence but has not competed for the position of deputy prime minister. , I have real power in my hands, and I also have my own areas of responsibility, but most of the time, it is to cooperate with the work of the cabinet. From another perspective, it is to cooperate with the work of the real head of the cabinet.

He Zhengnan had been in a semi-retired state a few years ago, and he was definitely going to retire after this general election. No one thought that in this incident, he would rush out after Guo Wentian and be the vanguard.

He Zhengnan felt Li Tianlan's gaze, nodded to him, smiled politely and respectfully.

He can be regarded as the backbone of the Prince Group, but he can't be regarded as one of the most core personnel. It's just that Chen Fangqing died suddenly. He was offered a condition that he could not refuse. Originally, He Zhengnan did not intend to express his opinion on this matter. The field he was in charge of overlapped with that of Wu Zhengmin. In other words, he was working with Wu Zhengmin in the cabinet. After Wu Zhengmin entered the cabinet, he straightened out the relationship quickly. After learning the methods of this old fox who had carried the flag for the Li family for more than 20 years, He Zhengnan chose to back down. Although he is still in office now, he usually Basically, there is not much time to appear in the cabinet.

In theory, the situation and rise and fall of the major groups in Central Continent have nothing to do with him.

But his son is now in a critical period.

His son is now the mayor of Qindao City in Dongshan Province. Qindao is a city at the level of vice-governor. However, although the mayor of Qindao is a vice-governor, the gold content is not very low, but it is not too high.

Guo Wentian hit his weakness almost as soon as he opened his mouth.

If this matter is successful, his son will be transferred to the capital city of Tianfu Province after the general election to serve as the director of Tianfu Province and also the speaker of the capital city. In this position, if it works well, five years After that, it is very possible to reach the sky in one step and become the governor of Tianfu.

That is the real core personnel of the Prince Group.

At his son's age, the chance of becoming a director is not great, and the Prince Group does not have such resources, but starting from the position of governor of Tianfu province, as long as he is not too unlucky, his son can basically reach his current position. At a high level, whether it is becoming a member of parliament or a cabinet member, it can ensure that the family will continue to be brilliant.

So He Zhengnan didn't hesitate.

He just thought for a few seconds, and then agreed to Guo Wentian, and charged forward for him at the meeting.

The words he said through Chen Fangqing's mouth were very subtle, but the meaning was very clear to everyone.

Promote talents from various angles.

This sentence is the key of the key.

The so-called multiple perspectives from all aspects can be understood as focusing on officials with different talents and abilities.

But this kind of different types of officials are not lacking in all major groups.

Even the Northern Group, which is currently the weakest, has quite a few.

So this sentence is equivalent to saying that the cabinet after the general election is a piece of cake placed in front of the major groups, and everyone has a chance to get a piece.

In other words, the next cabinet will no longer be dominated by a certain group.

Rather, each group can make its own voice in different positions.

This has an absolute conflict with the new group's future plans in terms of fundamental interests.

Wu Zhengmin became the second prime minister.

Bai Qingqian became the deputy prime minister.

The goal of the new group is clear and clear. It puts all its two leaders in the cabinet, and even sacrifices a lot of possible local interests for this. The first step in the rise of the new group is to conquer the right to speak in the cabinet.

Now He Zhengnan wants the cabinet to contend with a hundred schools of thought.

People from all groups will enter the cabinet, which means that the position of the new group in the cabinet will be greatly reduced, and the right to speak will be greatly weakened. The strategy of the new group will fail completely. Both Wu Zhengmin and Bai Qingqian pushed forward, only got a small number of positions and the new group in a few provinces will also become unstable. It is hard to say what the future of such a new group will be, but at least it will be a difficult start. .

The cabinet contending among a hundred schools of thought is the first step of the prince group's plan. In this plan, because there are too many voices from all sides, the authority of the second prime minister will be weakened to a certain extent, and the main authority will be concentrated on the prime minister. There will be many contradictions and conflicts Both require the prime minister in control of the cabinet to mediate, further accelerating the speed at which the new prime minister accumulates prestige in the cabinet.

The second step of the plan is to be taken over by the academics. They will try their best to push Hua Zhengyang to the position of prime minister and put him on top of the new group to curb his development speed.

The first step of the Prince Group's plan will be fully supported by the Academy.

The Prince Group will fully support the second step of the academic plan.

The tacit cooperation can be said to be seamless.

In order to win more support, explaining in advance the prospect of the cabinet contending among a hundred schools of thought is to win over other groups.

The cabinet is the core of the country, and each department under the cabinet means great power, especially finance, development, security, commerce, agriculture, and industry. Not to mention the position of the minister, it is the deputy, or even some important The positions of the top leaders of the bureau are all to be robbed, and when these positions are held in the hands of major groups, they will also become some stable promotion ladders, and they are the kind that are full of gold. No matter how many locations there are, no one will have too many.

Since He Zhengnan said this on behalf of the Prince Group, it means that this is a promise made by the Prince Group and the academy. Such a promise cannot be stingy. A bad reputation, even in the short term, will not pay off in the long run.

Therefore, in order to gain the dominance of the cabinet, the prince group and the academic faction really intend to share a considerable part of the power of the cabinet, and suppress the new group’s plan to attack the cabinet while attracting other groups. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Personally, I think the Prime Minister's words make sense."

He Zhengnan looked at Li Tianlan, then turned his eyes away. He wasn't too afraid of Li Tianlan. The pressure Li Tianlan brought to people was indeed great, but no matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn't kill his whole family just because of his two words. One point, everyone present is very clear.

So he went on, expressing his attitude: "It's really insightful, and I really hope to see a cabinet with diversified thinking. The death of the prime minister is a huge loss for Central Continent, but his path, we should Go on unswervingly, time will prove that he and we are both right."

"So that means I was wrong?"

Li Tianlan suddenly asked a question.

His eyes fell on He Zhengnan's body, their eyes were piercing, not blinking for a moment.

In fact, no one mentioned him, but Li Tianlan took the right seat, no one thought he was stupid, he just sat there quietly, but when he spoke, everyone could clearly feel an extremely harsh and blunt pressure.

He Zhengnan's mouth moved, and just as he was about to speak, Li Tianlan suddenly said, "Have you really met the Prime Minister recently?"

He Zhengnan was stunned.

All eyes turned to him.

At this kind of juncture, He Zhengnan couldn't take half a step back no matter what. He bit the bullet and nodded, and said naturally: "Of course."

"I don't believe it."

Li Tianlan said lightly: "I don't believe that the Prime Minister would say such things to you, a dispensable cabinet member."

dispensable...

This sentence is an understatement, but in He Zhengnan's ears, it has the effect of murder and death. He Zhengnan's face suddenly turned red, but his anger has not yet erupted. Li Tianlan has already continued to speak: "This matter, I will send someone Investigate, your specific whereabouts in the past few days will be investigated soon. Here, you can say everything you want today, even in the name of the prime minister. You can say anything. But today everyone is sitting Here, if you haven’t met the Prime Minister, you’ve cheated the entire Central Continent, and even if Central Continent doesn’t move you, I will make you pay the price.”

He Zhengnan's body was stiff there, his snow-white beard was trembling, and his face was a little pale.

"Your Majesty is indeed domineering."

Hua Zhengyang said something suddenly, with sarcasm.

Li Tianlan glanced at him.

Be it He Zhengnan or the Prince Group, they are very important, but not absolutely important.

Everyone knows that whether the new group can attack the cabinet has a direct and absolute relationship with whether Hua Zhengyang can become the new prime minister.

He is the biggest obstacle in the way of the new group's rise.

"I don't want to be deceived, especially in the name of the dead. Everyone knows the prime minister's character, and his merits and demerits are clear. No one will deny what he has done. Such a person should be respected enough, But if someone is taking his death for their own gain, where is the prime minister? Where is the cabinet?"

"I will investigate clearly, and I will make some people pay the price. By doing so, I am responsible for Central Continent."

Li Tianlan's voice was cold and tough.

The conversation seemed to be deadlocked.

Li Huacheng silently watched the other people in the room, keeping his expressions calm.

Hua Zhengyang's brows twitched slightly, and he wanted to say something, but held back.

Li Tianlan's words were the most blatant threat.

He Zhengnan wasn't the only one threatening.

There is also Hua Zhengyang.

He Zhengnan spoke in the name of Chen Fangqing.

Li Tianlan used Zhongzhou to fight back.

Responsible for Central Continent.

Li Tianlan was qualified to say this sentence.

No one present, including Li Huacheng, dared to say to Li Tianlan that Zhongzhou does not need you to be responsible. No one dared to say that, and no one could bear such a responsibility.

So this extremely strong threat meant that Li Tianlan had pushed the academics to the brink of falling out with him.

Turn your face completely?

This is definitely not what Li Huacheng wants to see.

In the silence, Li Tianlan tapped the table in front of him slowly.

His fingers danced rhythmically on the table, his other hand supported his face, and he leaned over to look at He Zhengnan: "Now, I'm giving you a chance to tell me, have you seen the Prime Minister recently?"

He Zhengnan's body visibly trembled. He wanted to speak, but for a while he lost all his courage.

Li Huacheng frowned, and suddenly said: "Okay, we can discuss this matter later. Now, let's go back to Yin Longhai and hold a formal meeting."

He paused, and said calmly: "Huayang, stay here and see what the Chen family needs. The prime minister left suddenly, and you have to temporarily arrest him for the next work of the cabinet and let him go rest assured."

Temporarily caught?

This temporary, is it really temporary, or?

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and showed a sneer.

Li Huacheng, is this trying to set the tone directly?

Ji Wenwen and Wan Qingyun also raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and wanted to speak.

But Li Tianlan was ahead of them.

"I'm different..."

He also didn't finish his sentence.

Because the moment he opened his mouth, the Chen family suddenly burst into mourning, crying, desperate and miserable.

Such a voice was originally very common in the news of Chen Fangqing's death.

But the sudden sound seemed to be amplified thousands of times at this moment.

Li Tianlan was startled.

The next moment, the doors of the temporary meeting room were suddenly pushed open.

Li Huacheng's secretary Ma Si rushed in in a panic.

Behind Ma Si, the secretaries of Hua Zhengyang and Wu Zhengmin also hurried over.

"President, everyone..."

Masi's breathing was a little short, and his face was extremely ugly.

When he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Li Tianlan, his eyes dodged, with a touch of fear.

Li Tianlan's heart sank for no reason.

Ma Si's voice was like a piece of ice wind, rushing through the meeting room and blowing into everyone's heart.

"Just two minutes ago, in the ambulance."

Ma Si said with a dry voice: "Governor Chen Xi passed away, the cause of death..."

"Brain haemorrhage..."

There was a dead silence.

Li Tianlan's body froze in place.

His face turned completely ashen.
