A very faint look of astonishment flashed in Li Tianlan's eyes.
He didn't understand Li Huacheng's intention for a while.
Before, he was afraid that he would have too much power and lose control.
But within a few words, the other party was eager to give him more power
Being able to enter the parliament is not a surprise to Li Tianlan, and it is no loss to Li Huacheng.
This should be a condition acceptable to both parties.
Li Huacheng was willing to help him become a director, which was a bit unbelievable. Li Tianlan was unwilling to accept it, so he was not embarrassed, and instead wanted him to take a position in the military department.
What job
This is an obvious thing.
After the election, or before the election, Li Tianlan's appointment will be issued, and he will serve as the special adviser to Zhongzhou and the god of war to protect the country.
After the election, he will become a member of the Central Continent.
With this status, what kind of position can one hold in the military department
Obviously it cannot be the war zones.
The top leaders in each war zone are not MPs.
It can't be those headquarters.
If it were those headquarters, it wouldn't be a temporary position, but real real power.
Get a job in the military.
Considering Li Tianlan's current status and strength, he must be at least a deputy minister!
this means...
wrong...
Deputy Minister...
Li Tianlan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly understood what Li Huacheng meant.
Li Huacheng sipped the tea with a smile, seemingly meaningless.
Li Huacheng also laughed.
He lightly knocked on the table in front of him and said directly: "You don't want me to live a more comfortable life?"
This is what Li Huacheng meant.
You want power.
can give it to you.
But I just won’t let you have an easy time, I will always give you some discomfort.
"You are still young. At this age, it is the time when you are young and full of energy. You look down on the world with high-spirited and invincible self-confidence. How easy is it? Where are you now? Enjoying life in peace and stability. What is the role of young people? Only us old people should do it. You should feel better and enjoy the prosperity and peace of today. You are young, so of course you have to work hard."
"hehe."
Li Tianlan's face was expressionless.
"hehe."
Li Huacheng also had no expression on his face.
These two ho-ho sounds are very expressive.
Li Tianlan turned to look at Qin Weibai.
Qin Weibai sat safely in her seat again, lazily, like a well-fed cat basking in the sun on its own territory, lazy and soothing, without any intention of speaking.
Sensing Li Tianlan's gaze, she also raised her head and glanced at Li Tianlan, her eyes a little obscure.
Li Tianlan seemed to understand something, turned his head and knocked on the table, silent.
Qin Weibai's meaning was vague, but also obvious.
Temporary post in the military department.
This matter has pros and cons, big troubles, but also big prospects.
Moreover, this matter is neither easy to accept nor easy to refuse.
There is something wrong with accepting nature.
Don't accept it...
I want to be a member of Parliament.
Li Huacheng gave it.
Want the position of the God of War to protect the country.
Li Huacheng gave it.
I want to suppress Gu Xingyun.
Li Huacheng agreed.
I don’t want to be a director.
Li Huacheng also expressed no objection.
As a result, you still don't agree with being offered a position in the military...
Do you really think that the parliament is run by your family
The Li of current President Li Huacheng is not the Li of your Li Tianlan.
So Qin Weibai gave him no specific advice.
Just tell him that it's not good if he refuses.
This also made Li Tianlan understand another layer of her meaning.
Not because of how smart he is.
But Li Tianlan is very clear about his current bargaining chip.
Ancient Qingqiu, Cheng Xilai, Li Kuangtu...
He has plenty of chips now.
If he uses this as a bargaining chip to reject Li Huacheng and does not want to take a temporary post in the military department, Li Huacheng will have little room to turn against him.
Qin Weibai showed his bargaining chip, but did not use it to refuse the military position.
This can only mean one thing.
This bargaining chip can be exchanged for other, more benefits than rejecting Li Huacheng at the moment.
"If I refuse..."
Li Huacheng directly interrupted Li Tianlan and said with a smile: "Rejection is just rejection, and it doesn't matter much. It's just that compared to the status of a member of the parliament, a position in the military department is simply dispensable. If you don't want to go to the military department, Then there is no need to enter the parliament.”
It's so simple
Li Tianlan was a little emotional.
There is no coercion in this sentence, but it is true.
After all, Li Huacheng is still in office. If he really doesn't agree to let Li Tianlan enter the parliament, Li Tianlan really won't be able to enter.
Unless you completely mess up, or use the bargaining chip in your hand to threaten, but in this case, if you use this bargaining chip, you really can't get anything back.
And to enter the parliament... you have to go to the military headquarters.
A nominal deputy minister of the military may seem dispensable, but to some extent it can be said to be crucial.
after all...
Dongcheng Wudi is still in office.
The relationship between him and Dongcheng Wudi is no longer a secret in Central Continent. At least everyone who should know is already aware of it.
One of the father and son is the executive minister and the other is the deputy minister.
Temporary job
With Dongcheng Wudi here, who would believe that Li Tianlan really took a temporary job
Whoever believes it is an idiot.
Even Li Tianlan himself didn't believe it.
As long as his name appears on the list of the military department, he must also join the ministry's council. What kind of people are in this council? The number of people here is smaller than that of the Central Continent Council, and every one of them is a real big boss. When Li Tianlan joins this council, with Dongcheng Wudi around, he will inevitably have some power, and with this part of power, to contact More authority is a matter of course.
Will Li Tianlan stay in his temporary job without harming humans and animals
Including Li Tianlan, no one in the world would believe it.
the most important is...
Ye Dongsheng...
I won't believe it either.
If Wang Qinglei becomes a director through the channels of the Prince Group, Ye Dongsheng's further resistance will be greatly reduced.
Personnel and affairs at this level are inherently connected.
The cooperation and competition between major groups also have different positions due to different goals and positions.
This kind of tit-for-tat confrontation between groups is always relative and cannot be truly incompatible in all aspects.
Li Tianlan is now tit for tat with Li Huacheng, which does not mean that Hua Zhengyang and Wu Zheng
Min cannot discuss cooperation in secret.
New Group, Haomen Group, Southeast Group.
Dongcheng Wudi, Wu Zhengmin, Bai Qingqian, Ye Dongsheng, Wang Siyuan, Wang Qinglei.
The separation and integration between each other is also a context that is confusing in the eyes of outsiders but extremely clear in the eyes of insiders.
The wealthy group will support Ye Dongsheng to go further. For the Southeast Group, this decision suppresses Wang Qinglei and also gives away some of the interests of the military.
Similarly, wealthy groups are supporting Wen Siyuan's entry into the cabinet.
The Southeast Group will also support Wu Zhengmin and Bai Qingqian as deputy prime ministers and deputy prime ministers to gain more cabinet leadership.
This is to become a new group.
The new group is now also trying to suppress the Southeast Group.
This relationship really cannot be said to be cooperation or opposition.
It can only be said to be a balance.
And according to Li Huacheng's current proposal...
When Dongcheng Wudi had given up part of the military benefits to Ye Dongsheng, Li Tianlan suddenly stepped in...
grass.
Under such circumstances, Ye Dongsheng and the Southeast Group probably couldn't even sleep.
This is an indescribably huge threat.
Ye Dongsheng was in danger of being completely distracted every minute.
The Beihai Wang family will definitely take corresponding actions when the time comes. How could the Prince Group ignore them once they move? Li Tianlan's march into the headquarters directly threatens the Southeast Group, and indirectly threatens their Prince Group.
As a result, what situation will Li Tianlan and the new group face
Wu Zhengmin and Bai Qingqian entered the cabinet. They faced challenges from Hua Zhengyang's forces and at the same time had to deal with the pressure from Wen Siyuan.
When Li Tianlan entered the parliament, he faced the luxurious alliance composed of Gu Xingyun, Jiang Shangyu and Li Kuangtu. With the two sides checking and balancing each other, Li Tianlan wanted to straighten out the special warfare system of Zhongzhou.
At the same time, he still had to face the counterattack of the military god Ye Dongsheng in the military headquarters with Dongcheng Wudi, as well as the suppression from the Southeast Group and the Prince Group.
How chaotic would such a situation be
The chaos may be gone.
But the situation Li Tianlan faces will definitely be extremely complicated.
These were just shackles one after another, tightly clinging to Li Tianlan's body, making him feel uncomfortable every time he moved, and he even couldn't move at all.
"Is this... a deliberate attempt to embarrass me?"
Li Tianlan asked with a smile.
"Embarrassed..."
Li Huacheng's expression looked a little weird, and his voice was also a little strange: "If you think of this as an embarrassment, then it is an embarrassment. Tianlan, I just want to tell you that life is not easy for anyone, and it is not easy to have nothing. It’s even harder for people who have huge power and resources.”
Li Tianlan's eyes flickered.
"Before me, the academy could only be regarded as a relatively strong local group with extremely weak influence in the central government. I started in Liaodong and stepped into Central Continent step by step, into the parliament and the council. What I faced was What? It’s the endless competitors from the outside world, the different perspectives within the group, the future development of Zhongzhou, the internal balance of Zhongzhou, and the turmoil in the world. This is my tenth year in this position. ..."
Li Huacheng smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I consider myself worthy of Central Continent, but in the past ten years, I have been very thoughtful. Five points have been spent on the stability and balance of Central Continent, four points have been spent on the development of Central Continent, and one point has been spent on the development of Central Continent." on the planning within the group. Sometimes when I wake up, I can’t even find where I am. What situation am I facing? It’s inside and outside the group, it’s the criss-crossing of major groups, it’s the intrigues of countries around the world, it’s the Coordinating the overall situation from top to bottom is what I should do in my position. No one makes it difficult for me, but is it difficult for me? Do I deserve all this?"
"Speaking of your biological father, he is known as the God of Killing in Central Continent. He is majestic, but what does this honor mean? The life and death of the 550,000 troops of the Border Guard Corps, the honor and disgrace of life and death, the yin and yang of various mountains within the wealthy group, the peace and prosperity of Central Continent, but You come from the border. When was the border really peaceful? Zhongzhou regards Wudi as the God of Death, but he doesn't know that he tolerates it more often. He kills when trouble comes. How is it possible? When should he tolerate it and when should he march? How about it? Maintain the purity of the Border Guard Corps and maintain their combat effectiveness... Hehe, the Border Guard Corps was previously known as a small military headquarters. Such remarks are not heart-breaking."
"He stands in the position of the Border Guard Corps and fights bravely against foreign enemies. He has to stabilize his determination and at the same time face the pressure from the military and countless deceitful ideas from within the group. Now that he has joined the military, he also has to face the pressure from the military. Is it difficult for him to worry about the Frontier Corps and the military strength and operations of the entire Central Continent? This is what he should do in his position, and no one makes it difficult for him. Does he deserve it?"
Li Tianlan lit a cigarette and remained silent.
"I'm talking about your grandfather. The Li family has indeed been glorious, but Mr. Li has served as the God of War to protect the country for more than 20 years. He has fought hundreds of battles, big and small. Nearly half of the battles were against the invincibles of other superpowers. The situation is desperate, not retreating in a deadly battle, in peacetime, it is necessary to stabilize the relationship with Beihai, and to maintain the independence of the Li family, but also to face the pressure of the parliament and the hostility of the dark world. After the treason case, he took the Li family away to the border , supported Tiandu Purgatory, suffered for more than 20 years, and never really saw Li Shi return to his peak before he died, who is making things difficult for him? Does he deserve it? "
"The Wang family of Beihai has been inherited for more than five hundred years. The family history is almost the same as the history of Central Continent. They were first called the Wang family. After falling behind in family status, they were revived by the proud ancestor. For a period of time, they were called the Wang Family Alliance. Later, they occupied the current place. Half of Beihai, for about twenty years, they were called the Royal Clan. Later, the ancestors of the Lin Clan joined, and the two talented people at the time pushed the Royal Clan to the top, and they became the current Beihai Wang Clan. These four Since the emergence of Zi, they have always been the number one wealthy family in the dark world. Through hundreds of years of ups and downs, they have always been the number one wealthy family in any situation."
"What was Wang Tianzong like in the past? He was known as the Sword King, invincible in the world, and a great talent, but who can understand the pressure he bore? More than 20 million people in Beihai, the Southeast Group, and the glory of hundreds of years are pressed together. That pressure can really crush people to death. All generations of Beihai clan chiefs have been bearing this pressure, because every generation of clan leaders knows that if they can't withstand this pressure, they will die. Therefore, every generation of Beihai Wang clan clan chiefs, They are all well-deserved strong men, and they are also well-deserved cowards. Whether it is the ancestor or the current Wang Tianzong and Wang Shengxiao, their mentality is the same, which is fear. In fear, they bear the pressure that can crush people to death. Carrying it on, I’m afraid I won’t do it well, I’m afraid I’ll lose everything, I’m afraid I’ll lose my family.”
"Beihai is indeed a paradise for ordinary people and ordinary officials, but beyond this paradise is the oppression on the Imperial Army Mountain, which is the fear and dissatisfaction of the Wang family and the head of the Beihai Wang clan. They are in this kind of situation Are there people in the environment who are making things difficult for him? Do they deserve it?"
The tea cup made a soft sound in Li Huacheng's hand.
Li Huacheng's face was rosy, and there was clearly visible excitement in his heart.
Li Tianlan seemed to understand what he was going to say, and silently handed him a cigarette.
Li Huacheng took it and lit it, took a deep breath, and laughed again as he watched the pale smoke rising in front of his eyes.
At this moment, he looked at Li Tianlan with a strange look.
The look of envy, jealousy, helplessness, ridicule and bitterness in his eyes was extremely complicated.
"I just want to tell you that life in this world and in a high position are really not easy for anyone. Tianlan, you have too much now.
In terms of wealth, Shengshi Fund is as rich as a country. Money is really just a number to you. To you, the luxury cars, houses, and even airplanes and yachts that ordinary people pursue are like buying a piece of steamed buns, cold skin, and stinky tofu.
In terms of status, not to mention that you are about to become the youngest member of Parliament in the history of Central Continent, you are already invincible in the world. As the President of Central Continent, I have no psychological advantage over you. You have climbed to the top of the God List and taken control of the new group. East Island, Europe, South America, and Tiannan are all watching your face. They call you Your Majesty. You are high and have no rivals. Now that your status has reached this point, can you really still be high
In terms of life, your early twenties are the time when you are most energetic. Accompanying you is the most beautiful woman in Central Continent, the most beautiful and fragrant woman in the country. The goddess in the eyes of countless so-called big shots is as obedient and obedient as a little daughter-in-law by your side. If you are not satisfied, if you want other women, not to mention the comatose eldest lady of the Dongcheng family and the missing little princess of the Beihai Wang family, other women can come and go at a moment's notice. Mr. Qin will take you away. She's so spoiled, I even think that even if you get three thousand beauties in the East Palace, she won't say anything. "
"Um... "
Qin Weibai, who had been silent all the time, suddenly smiled: "Actually, I still mind this a little bit."
Li Huacheng smiled and did not answer, but continued: "Life with power, wealth, status, is too complete and too perfect for you. Tianlan, at this point, aren't you confused? I don't know. Have you ever had this feeling? You just don’t know what you should do. You don’t know what the meaning of everything you have is. You feel that everything you do is boring, you have no pursuit, and you don’t even have a dream... Have you ever had this feeling? ?"
Li Tianlan's mouth twitched.
He didn't want to answer, but finally nodded: "I always have."
This is a very shameful thing to say.
But there really is.
He really doesn't know what to do now.
Spend money
All over the world, buying most things, buying them casually would not even cost him a fraction of his wealth.
Walking out of the East Palace, as long as you reveal your identity, you will receive countless flattery.
As for women, Qin Weibai can completely satisfy any of his fantasies about women.
So...what else does it mean
Unpretentious, boring...
"Because you are different from everyone else."
Li Huacheng said softly: "It's not easy for all of us, but Tianlan, it's too easy for you. Maybe you have paid something for everything today, such as re-cultivating martial arts, or traveling hundreds of kilometers in three years, but it's not enough, it's too bad. Far away. Everything you got today is too dreamy and too easy."
"It's not wrong to say that you young people have cheats. The so-called cheats... the so-called golden fingers..."
"The power placed on me should be the current power. On Wang Tianzong, it should be the family background of the Wang family in Beihai and his own talent. Everyone has more or less the so-called golden finger... You know you What’s the plug-in?”
Li Huacheng smiled: "It's not your martial arts talent, or even your current strength. Your biggest cheat..."
He pointed at Qin Weibai, who was sitting there holding juice and biting a straw: "It's Mr. Qin. If you didn't have her, even if you could grow up and have the strength you have now, you would never have the status you have now. Without her, Now, even if you are now invincible, you are probably still busy fighting to the death with Gu Xingyun. The current scale of the East Palace... you can't even do one percent of it."
"yes."
Li Tianlan said casually: "I'm quite helpless, so I just let it go. I have no choice. My wife is too capable, and she's afraid that I won't feel comfortable eating soft rice, so she just gave me all the property. Soft. I had to eat hard, and I guess I didn’t sleep either.”
"..."
Li Huacheng's mouth twitched again and again, resisting the urge to stand up and kick Li Tianlan, and kept taking deep breaths.
This is so cool, it looks like old Versailles.
He smoked silently and waited until the cigarette in his hand was finished. Then he took a deep breath, looked at Li Tianlan, and said with a smile, "Don't you want to change anything?"
"Change what?"
Li Tianlan glanced at him.
"Change Middle-earth!"
Li Huacheng's voice was clear and steady.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes.
"Actually, there's a lot more you can do."
Li Huacheng said lightly: "Zhongzhou is now the most powerful country in the world, with the strongest comprehensive national strength and top level in all aspects, but this does not mean that Zhongzhou is a perfect country. Zhongzhou is too big and has endless problems in all aspects. And to this day, there are still poor areas, poor counties, and poor towns in Zhongzhou. There are still too many barren things in Zhongzhou that need to be changed."
"Tianlan, join forces with me."
Li Huacheng's voice seemed to have lost all its edge and strength, leaving only sincerity: "We can change Zhongzhou and make this country better and stronger. Believe me, when you use your own power to personally change an area , when you change the fate of countless people, you will become addicted. Every time I see one impoverished area after another in Central Continent and see the local people working hard to live, I can clearly feel my vocation and responsibility. I am responsible for After ten years as president, I have a clear conscience for Zhongzhou. I am the president. Judging from the various resources mobilized, I am much better than you, but I have never been confused because I always know what I am going to do next. What to do next.”
Li Tianlan remained silent and said nothing.
Li Huacheng stood up, patted his shoulder, walked to the edge of the balcony, and looked at the beautiful scenery of the East Palace built purely with money: "If you want to change Zhongzhou, you are still too far away because you are not mature enough. Tianlan, With Mr. Qin by your side, everything you have now has been obtained too easily, which may be a bit unpleasant, but I still have to say that you are far from worthy of your inheritance."
"You are still far from maturity. No one can say that their life is easy. I am really making things difficult for you when you join the club or become a director. Because I want you to feel the real difficulties. In an extremely complicated situation, one must understand oneself step by step and allow oneself to fully mature. Only a Donghuang who has truly passed many tests, faced countless wind and rain, felt internal and external pressures and remained calm can truly He deserves to be called your majesty, and he deserves to be called a proud man."
Li Huacheng's eyes looked into the distant distance.
His voice was very soft. In an almost soft voice, he threw out the trump card that he had never revealed: "I need you to mature, not just in terms of force, but to be impeccable in any situation and in any aspect. of strength."
"Tian Lan, are you interested in my current position and the President of Central Continent?"
"Have you ever thought about sitting in my position and giving it a try?"
