The King of Special Warfare

Facing Guo Wentian's questioning, Hua Zhengyang said nothing.

He didn't need to speak either.

Everyone present knew that Hua Zhengyang was just a tool to execute Li Huacheng's will. No matter whether he agreed or opposed any decision, it all came from Li Huacheng's will.

So although Guo Wentian's eyes were staring at Hua Zhengyang at this moment, in fact, the person he was questioning was Li Huacheng.

The vote was three to three.

Guo Wentian asked Li Huacheng if this was the answer he gave himself.

Everyone knows the weight of Guo Wentian's three votes.

These three votes represent the Prince Group, the collective will of the Southeast Group, and half of the power of the parliament.

This weight is actually completely greater than the negative votes.

After all, if Hua Zhengyang is not counted, the so-called opposition votes only come from wealthy groups.

The disadvantages of wealthy groups are obvious.

On the whole, their size is not weaker than that of the Prince Group or the Southeast Group.

However, the wealthy group is too loose inside. In terms of overall strength, they are just stronger than the Northern Group. With real influence, whether it is the Prince Group or the Southeast Group, they can crush the wealthy group. There is no need at all. What to test? Many things that happened in the past can prove that when Dongcheng Invincible conflicts with the Southeast Group or the Prince Group, many people in the wealthy group can turn to support outsiders for the sake of their own interests.

Especially when it comes to facing Li Tianlan.

Guo Wentian can be sure that when it comes to targeting Li Tianlan, they will have sufficient tacit understanding with a considerable number of powerful groups.

What is the real wealthy group?

It is no exaggeration to say that the truly wealthy group can be said to be the largest group in Central Continent.

With the name of a wealthy family, the main force inside is naturally many wealthy families of all sizes in Central Continent.

This is a very large, but extremely loose alliance.

The wealthy group was initially based on the development of the Dongcheng family. To be precise, it was based on Junfang's strength.

In the beginning, the Dongcheng family was a family supported by the parliament in order to limit the power of the Southeast Group and even the Beihai Wang family in the monarchy.

The Dongcheng family is also very competitive. Their rise has indeed balanced the strong position of the Beihai Wang family in Junfang. After the rise of several generations and occupying important positions in Junfang, the Dongcheng family has also gained its own heritage.

The direct descendants of the Dongcheng family moved to various station areas, to land, sea and sky, and their influence continued to radiate, and finally they became known as the most powerful family in the monarchy.

In order to continue to expand their influence, the Dongcheng family initially transferred one of their direct henchmen from the monarch realm to the main realm.

This was just a test to expand his influence and reach, but it was a great success. The direct descendant finally rushed into the Youzhou Parliament from a position that was not taken seriously, and became the number two figure in the Youzhou Parliament.

And the next generation of the direct line, relying on the connections left to him by the previous generation and the full support of the Dongcheng family, finally sat in the position of Speaker of Youzhou and became a member of Zhongzhou.

The Dongcheng family clung to this position, and eventually opened up the first dock outside the Jun Realm, and then continued to branch out.

The direct descendant's surname is Bai.

In terms of seniority, he was the great-grandfather of the current Youzhou Speaker Bai Zhanfang, and that was also the beginning of the Bai family.

The tightly-knit Bai family and the Dongcheng family formed the most basic framework of the wealthy group at that time.

The Bai family's connections and the Dongcheng family's influence began to merge with each other.

Some local groups that were struggling under the suppression of other major groups tentatively began to contact the Dongcheng family. The most representative of them was the Zou family.

Local groups began to unite with each other, led by the Dongcheng family.

This is the original origin of the wealthy group.

However, as time goes by, the local wealthy families who were initially worried gradually gained a firm foothold and became more and more thoughtful. They originally gathered together to stay warm, but now everyone is well fed and clothed. , wanting more is not surprising at all.

As a result, the cohesion of wealthy groups also began to decline.

Today's wealthy group is only supported by the three oldest families. The Dongcheng family, Bai family, and Zou family are the three recognized pillars of the wealthy group, while the other forces are constantly being dispersed.

Under normal circumstances, in a few decades at most, except for the three oldest groups, almost all the power of the wealthy groups can be absorbed by other groups.

If this were not the case, the Dongcheng family would not have been eager to change, and even exchanged children with the desperate Li family.

But now that Li Tianlan has become invincible, the turmoil within the wealthy group has become more obvious.

reason?

The most fundamental reason is that Li Tianlan has not shown much interest in the wealthy group.

When he got closer to the Dongcheng family, he directly established a new group.

In a word, Li Tianlan looks down on wealthy groups.

Of course, with the Reincarnation Palace and Qin Weibai here, Li Tianlan also has the qualification to be so arrogant.

Shengshi Fund directly formed a new group for Li Tianlan.

In this way, the goal of the third oldest family of the wealthy group was immediately clear, and Dongcheng Wudi and the others did not have to worry about how to straighten out the relationships within the group.

They directly chose to let their underground begin to integrate with the new group.

Bai Qingqian joins the new group.

Zou Yuanshan, Dongcheng Qiuchi and his wife joined the new group.

This is one obvious signal after another.

The other wealthy families who had their own thoughts but wanted to take advantage of Li Tianlan's welfare waited expectantly, but from the beginning to the end, they did not see the olive branch extended by Li Tianlan at all.

On the contrary, the direct lineage of the three pillar families in the wealthy group has integrated more smoothly with the new group.

This is already evident.

Not only did Li Tianlan look down on those wealthy families, but even Dongcheng Wudi and the others had lost patience with these overt and treacherous things.

If this situation continues, in as little as five years or as many as ten years, the three pillars of the new group and the wealthy group will be completely integrated. By that time...

What is left of the so-called wealthy group?

Some wealthy families with their own agendas are destined to be beaten back to their original shape.

So what value do they have?

Their current value is determined by relying on wealthy groups. When the wealthy groups no longer exist, they will not even have much value in relying on others.

So from the standpoint of these wealthy families, one can imagine their attitude towards Li Tianlan.

Of course, no one would dare to openly target them.

But if you follow the trend, no one will hesitate.

If we really deal with Li Tianlan, I am afraid that more than half of the current power of the wealthy group will agree.

This also means that if Li Huacheng agrees to use various means to suppress Li Tianlan, the real opposition will be very small. Only the three pillar families of the wealthy group and the Eastern Palace will oppose it.

On the contrary, if Li Huacheng disagrees, Zhou Yunhai may not say anything, but he will definitely have an idea in his heart.

Even half of the wealthy groups will be dissatisfied.

He also runs the risk of falling out with the Prince Group and the Southeast Group.

Who is Li Huacheng?

How could he, who always seeks stability, not know the possible consequences of this series of choices?

In Guo Wentian's heart, as long as he wins over the Southeast Group, he has won at least half of it. But he didn't expect that this time Li Huacheng actually gave him an unexpected result.

Li Huacheng opposed the suppression of Li Tianlan?

Under such circumstances, he still objects? How dare he object?

Guo Wentian was very dissatisfied with this answer.

He just stared at Hua Zhengyang, but the pressure was all on Li Huacheng.

"How do you explain it to the parliament? How do you explain it to the people below?"

Guo Wentian suppressed his furious voice and sounded almost word by word.

"Tianlan is indeed at fault in this matter."

Li Huacheng smiled, with a calm expression, like an outsider: "The punishment must be meted out, but there is no need to overdo it. The current situation in the East Palace is good, and their stability is also in the interests of Zhongzhou. , if the East Palace is rashly dismantled, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, this matter was done by Tianlan. We can leave it alone for the time being as to how to deal with the East Palace. "

"Does the Speaker agree with our method of dealing with Li Tianlan?"

Wan Qingyun's eyes lit up.

The means to deal with Li Tianlan...

In fact, it was nothing more than what he just said.

He gave Li Kuangtu a grand burial and asked Li Tianlan to guard Li Kuangtu's tomb for three years. During the period of guarding the tomb, he was not allowed to leave the cemetery even half a step.

This is equivalent to putting Li Tianlan in prison, but what is different from being put in prison is that he has always been under the sight of the parliament while guarding the tomb. In this way, there will be no weird things like Xiao Mohai, which will make Li Tianlan Although he was clearly in jail, he was being served comfortably, which cut off the possibility of him secretly influencing the outside world.

Three years is really enough.

While everyone in the outside world was speculating on Wang Tianzong's condition, only a very small number of core personnel in Emperor Bingshan knew that Wang Tianzong's consciousness had awakened before.

Although he is still lying in the dormant cabin and cannot communicate with the outside world, what is certain is that his consciousness has indeed awakened, and the various indicators of his body are constantly recovering at an increasingly faster speed. This means that Wang Tianzong He was about to recover. It would take three years, but it would not take three years at all. The three years they had set aside were equivalent to leaving Wang Tianzong with the possibility of further progress.

Regardless of whether Wang Tianzong can continue to break through, even if he stays where he is, with his strength, he can guarantee the future of the Wang family in Beihai.

In this meeting, even if other provisions are not passed, as long as this one can be implemented, it will be absolutely worth it to the Beihai Wang family and the Southeast Group.

Li Huacheng glanced at Wan Qingyun thoughtfully.

Wan Qingyun's heart trembled, and he subconsciously suppressed the expression of joy on his face.

From this point of view, Wang Tianzong seems to be recovering soon...

Li Huacheng touched his chin, thought quietly for two seconds, and chuckled: "The punishment for Tianlan is necessary, but I don't agree to split the East Palace, but it is okay to split Tianlan and the East Palace. It is entirely possible to follow this idea.

For example, cut off the connection between Tianlan and Donghuang Palace first?

We don’t need to be too radical. No matter what plan we make, we have to do it step by step.

Moreover, there are actually things that are inappropriate in our discussion here.

Li Kuangtu is dead, but Tian Lan is still alive. He is the person involved. We must at least listen to the explanation of the person involved. "

Li Huacheng's eyes swept around the conference room and continued: "I can tell you a piece of news. My secretary, Ma Si, has left for Xuanyuan City. If there are no accidents, he will stay in the East Palace and serve as The first deputy palace master of the Eastern Palace and the governor of Tiannan Province should also be selected."

The conference room was quiet for a moment.

The next second, Guo Wentian, Ji Wenwen, and Wan Qingyun's expressions changed at the same time.
