Chapter 2258 Seek Skin with a Tiger!
Li Jiande laughed, and the kinder he smiled, the more ferocious the light in his eyes became: "So, my good granddaughter, do you think that the covenant between the four major elector families is so unreliable that they will be provoked by such rhetoric?" Divorce, if so, our four families fought each other hundreds of years ago, how can we work together to maintain the balance of the empire until today?"
"The grandson didn't sow discord, but just told the truth that no one else dared to say, didn't want to say, or didn't want to say."
Li Linghai said calmly, "The most direct example is the incident of the Blood Alliance before us. It is definitely not my style to assassinate a veteran of the Dongfang family in such a simple, rude and reckless way, and it will not benefit us in the slightest. What we have done, I dare to ask, is this matter planned by the four major elector families, and has the Li family participated in it?"
Li Jiande was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can guarantee this matter with the word 'Silver Fox'. The Li family absolutely did not plan or participate in it, and they had no prior knowledge of it."
"I didn't do it, neither did the Li family, so the Dongfang family did it themselves?"
Li Linghai grinned, showing his sharp teeth, "A veteran died and became the biggest victim. Afterwards, a special investigation committee was formed with lightning speed, using the pretext of attacking the blood alliance to eliminate dissidents and cruelty. The tentacles extend to many war zones, reaping a lot of benefits for themselves.
"In the end, the Dongfang family got the biggest piece of the cake, but the four major elector families were responsible for the blame. Dongfang Wang had a good plan. Let me ask, such a despicable and shameless act can be said to be against the covenant of the four families. Loyal?"
The wrinkles under the corners of Li Jiande's eyes shrank, as if he had crushed a non-existent mosquito, and did not refute Li Linghai's words.
Encouraged, Li Linghai became more excited, and raised his voice again: "Old Ancestor, this is the most depraved and darkest era for the empire, and it is also a great era when we have to face earth-shaking changes! The empire's counterattack over the past ten years has completely The national treasury has been emptied, a large expeditionary force needs to be maintained, countless disabled veterans need pensions, the newly restored areas that have been abandoned need a lot of money to rebuild, and there are countless remote worlds whose economies are on the verge of collapse. Rest and recuperate.
"All of this requires money and resources, a lot of resources, astronomical resources!
"Yes, the four major elector families rely on their wealth and strength, strong ships and guns, so they can ignore the miscellaneous armies and immortal cultivators in remote worlds, but if you don't give them a way to survive, they will never Not sitting still.
"Today, I am asking for the support of the Li family as the leader of the reformist faction, but even if I am not there, even if I am completely wiped out by the family, this force struggling to survive and dedicated to change will never disappear out of thin air, on the contrary, it will completely disappear. Get out of control and turn into a flood, destroying everything in your path!
"How to contain this crazy force, where will the trillions of money and astronomical resources to maintain and rebuild in all aspects come from? It's very simple, four fat and strong beasts, if one of them falls down, they will die." Enough for others to eat for decades, and survive the most difficult construction period of the new recovery area!
"When the newly restored areas destroyed by the Holy League are rebuilt by us, and various resources are continuously produced again, and the local people gradually get rid of the brainwashing of the Holy League, that is the turning point for the empire to prosper again!
"In short, the revival of the empire requires the sacrifice of a giant beast. If you don't want to see the giant beast of the Dongfang family fall, then only the giant beast of the Li family will fall. There is no third choice!
"You have seen and heard that the anger and hungry screams of thousands of immortal cultivators in remote worlds have converged into a torrent of change. It's better to firmly control this power in your own hands!
"I am willing to lead all the fellow Taoists of the Reform Faction and all the officers and soldiers of the United Fleet to become the sharpest swords in the hands of our ancestors and the Li family, and rush to the front line against the Dongfang family. We only need the help of the Li family to push hard." One, one is enough!"
Li Linghai spoke righteously, impassionedly, and his snow-white skin was tinged with bright red.
Li Jiande was still unmoved, and said coldly: "But... I have heard a lot of rumors that the purpose of the reformers is not limited to this, not only to deal with the Dongfang family, but also to bring down all the four major elector families! "
"Yes, I have said so on many occasions."
Li Linghai did not deny it, and wrote lightly, "Of course the ideals and principles are like this. Otherwise, how could I attract so many enthusiastic and moral fellow Taoists to gather around me, and how could I make them willing to cooperate with the Li family? Become the knife in the hands of the ancestors?
"As for whether this knife will get out of control, or even turn against the person holding the knife, it depends on the level of the ancestor's sword dancing. Don't the ancestors even have the confidence to control these reformers?"
"So"
Li Jiande smiled and said, "What benefits can you get from it yourself? Don't say that you are only for the revival of the empire and the future of the family."
Li Linghai also laughed, and licked his lips with a smile: "If I say, I want to be the head of the Li family as the empress of the empire, I wonder if the ancestors will think it is too much?"
Li Jiande said calmly: "The empire has been established for thousands of years, and there has never been such a precedent."
"Precedents are created by people."
Li Linghai said without backing down, "The empire has been established for thousands of years, and it has never encountered such an era of great change!"
Li Jiande and Li Linghai looked at each other for a long time, but they gave in first, and then changed the topic: "You reformists, how do you want the Li family to support you?"
Without hesitation, Li Linghai quickly expressed his request: "First of all, I want the Guyu fleet and all the armed forces deployed on Yushen to surrender to us. No, the word 'surrender' is too sharp, so I ask them to surrender to us." We have completely handed over the command. From now on, the Grain Rain Realm will become the temporary base of our reformists. As long as we disarm and hand over our armed forces, we will not interfere with the normal operation of the Rain God Planet. Constantly deliver supplies to maintain the normal consumption of our fleet, and the specific list of supplies will be sent over after I discuss with General Lei."
The wrinkles on Li Jiande's face were very stable, and he said calmly: "What about this battle, how do you explain it to the family and the outside world?"
The corner of Li Linghai's mouth curled up into a malicious smile, and he spit out four words lightly: "Drill accident."
Li Jiande was surrounded by a huge silence, and he said after half a minute: "Continue."
"Secondly, I hope that the veterans of the Li family and the vassal families will propose a motion in the Senate tomorrow to express doubts about the investigation direction of the 'Blood Alliance Incident', requesting the reorganization of the special investigation committee, reducing the number of members of the Dongfang family, and ending the current random investigation. Expansive investigative tendencies.”
Li Linghai quickly said, "Of course, all the suspected members of the blood alliance incident who have been arrested indiscriminately must also be released. Considering the complexity of the problem, half of them can be released first.
"Thirdly, there is another proposal, which is about the issue of General Lei Chenghu conferring the rank of marshal. I know that the Senate has already entered the process of this matter. In principle, there is no big obstacle, but the original idea of the Senate was to award After the rank of Marshal, let Marshal Lei stay in the imperial capital, but we feel that the front line is still unstable, and there is an urgent need for an important general to sit in charge. Therefore, Marshal Lei will take over the post of commander of the new expeditionary force and be fully responsible for the reorganization of the expeditionary force , couldn't be more appropriate.
"Fourth, please coordinate with the Li family to ensure the security and smooth flow of all the media and networks of the reformers. I want to ensure that every voice from the reformers can be clearly heard by everyone in the entire empire, at least all cultivators. In the past few decades, I have collected countless shocking scandals and heinous crimes about the Dongfang family, just waiting for this moment to turn into countless shells!
"Fifth, it is the last blow. The ancestors personally impeached Prime Minister Dongfang Wang and completely overthrew Dongfangwang's cabinet!
"The wall falls and everyone pushes it. As long as the Dongfangwang cabinet falls, it will naturally trigger a series of chain reactions. All the forces in the entire empire will stand on the opposite side of the Dongfang family, frantically tearing two pieces of flesh from this crumbling monster. When the time comes, Naturally, the Li family can replace them, at least they can get the biggest and fattest flesh and blood, right?"
Li Jiande couldn't help laughing: "If I were two hundred years younger, I might be instigated by you, but it's not as easy as you say. You want the Li family to completely stand on the opposite side of the Dongfang family, and they will never die. blood feud!"
"That's right."
Li Linghai said loudly, "If we don't know how to show that we are incompatible with the Dongfang family, how can we reformists fully trust the Li family?
"Okay, old ancestor, the grandson has finished everything that should be said, and you must be tired of listening. This is a big matter, and you should think about it. Think about it carefully, but the pace of the grandson's death will not stop. Yes, if you don't get a satisfactory answer within 24 hours, let the entire Li family be buried with your grandson!"
Li Linghai's voice was stern, and there was an indescribable rejection between his brows and eyes.
Li Jiande seemed to be speechless, but also seemed unable to bear her intimidation, his eyes widened and gradually became frozen, and suddenly he let out a muffled grunt, and collapsed crookedly.
There was a sudden chaos at the other end of the light curtain, the screen kept spinning, and there were bursts of panicked shouts. When Jingyan adjusted his eyes again, Li Jiande was no longer visible, only Li Linghai's father Li Mingxuan was pointing at the screen angrily. Trembling voice: "You, you, you heinous witch, do you really dare to destroy your own family?"
"What do you know, idiot."
Li Linghai laughed from the bottom of his heart, leaned back in the chair comfortably, breathed a sigh of relief, bowed lightly, and said lightly, "It's none of your business here, the old ancestor has already agreed!"
