It wasn't possible before, but it is actually possible now.
"I see."
He nodded: "Thank you, teacher."
Li Huacheng chuckled: "The attitudes of Qin Weibai and Ma Si are also crucial. I will not interfere in this matter. I can accept any result."
He specifically singled out Ma Si.
If it had been done in the past, Li Huacheng would have really thought carefully about leaving an extremely elite group to the East Palace.
Because at that time, there was still Li Tianlan in the East Palace, and the parliament’s attitude towards the East Palace was also complex and subtle. If such a thing really happened, let alone Li Huacheng, several other giants, except Dongcheng Wudi and Zou Mulin,
I'm afraid they won't agree.
But now the situation is different.
Li Tianlan came to Youzhou. In terms of identity, Li Tianlan was truly one of his own, not to mention the complicated relationship between him and Qin Weibai. As long as Li Tianlan sat in the position of consultant and did not move, then the East Palace was equivalent to Zhongzhou.
subordinate forces, instead of the semi-cooperative nature before.
Zhongzhou should give whatever kind of support it can to its subordinate forces and the Eastern Imperial Palace that may become a new dynasty.
Similarly, Zhongzhou can also use this action to express his attitude to the entire dark world, that is, although Li Tianlan has left the East Palace, the parliament's support for the East Palace will not decrease, but will continue to increase its intensity.
This attitude, in the eyes of the European Continental Alliance, will also become a huge pressure that cannot be ignored.
"Mars..."
Li Tianlan muttered to himself and glanced at Li Huacheng again.
He still hasn't fully understood Li Huacheng's thoughts, but he has begun to believe that, at least at this stage, Li Huacheng has no ill intentions towards him.
This also means that Ma Si cannot have other thoughts that he shouldn't have.
In other words, at this stage, Ma Si is also really on the side of the East Palace.
There is no need to doubt his position, but it is unknown how far he can go for the Eastern Palace.
Moreover, when he went to the Eastern Palace, at least on the surface, he was not going there for a bright future.
In the minds of other giants in the parliament, his going to the East Palace was the first step for the parliament to take advantage of Li Tianlan's departure from Tiannan to take control of the dynasty.
By the time he had fully established himself, there were still many people queuing up to take up positions in the Eastern Palace.
If Ma Si exposes his position now and lets everyone know that he is on the side of the East Palace, will this cause other disturbances?
Will Guo Wentian and the others make some trouble again?
"Should I talk to Guo Wentian?"
Li Tianlan asked directly.
"What to talk about?"
Li Huacheng laughed: "Can you negotiate?"
His words were not contemptuous, and his questions were sincere.
Li Tianlan said nothing.
"It's not necessary."
Li Huacheng shook his head. He could almost imagine the negotiation scene between Li Tianlan and Guo Wentian. Li Tianlan's negotiation method was basically like I want this, you can't interfere, I will kill you if you dare to interfere. Of course, his words may not be right.
It's so straightforward, but that's definitely what it means.
Such negotiations are destined to end badly, and there is no need for them except to make both parties angry.
"The original purpose of sending Ma Si there was to shut their mouths, and also to convey to the outside world that Zhongzhou supports the Eastern Palace.
Ma Si is now the first deputy palace owner of the East Palace. For the sake of the East Palace, this is a normal thing and is justified."
"Normal is normal, but it may not be what they want."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
"so what?"
Li Huacheng laughed: "Even if they realize they have been deceived, it will be too late. Although it only takes a few days, the best time is already
missed.
The Prince Group and the Southeast Group can temporarily join forces to target you once, but it will only be temporary at best.
Now let them put aside their conflicts and deal with the East Palace. If they can't do it, they will all be embarrassed, and the people below will not be willing.
They can't even take care of the East Palace and Ma Si now."
Li Tianlan couldn't help but glance at Li Huacheng.
His tone was so calm and calm that he had to wonder if Li Huacheng had already seen today when he killed Kuangtu Li.
But thinking about it, he laughed first. He just saw that today, where is Li Huacheng's level? Maybe he has seen it five years later, or even ten years later.
For this kind of people, it is not important what kind of future they see, but what is important is what kind of future they want to see.
They are like goals on the way forward.
What kind of result do they want? They should start planning from now on. The so-called future is just something that keeps changing time and time again according to their will.
"How big can Zhong Youwei's case get?"
Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
How far this matter can go depends directly on the future relationship between the Southeast Group and the Prince Group. What is certain is that all the excitement at the moment will come to an end in a few months.
But this is only peaceful on the surface, and the private battle will inevitably last for a long time.
If the Southeast Group has caused heavy enough losses to the Prince Group, then at least for a long period of time, Li Tianlan will not have to worry about the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
This is very important to Li Tianlan.
The collapse of the Li family is still a knot in the minds of the elders of the Li family. Naturally, there is nothing to be polite about when treating the Prince Group.
A few months later, a new group was established. If the Prince Group was severely damaged by the Ji article, then Li Tianlan would be able to dig out some old debts and settle them.
"It's hard to say at this stage." Li Huacheng smiled: "At the beginning, just let nature take its course. What is certain is that Wen Tian cannot fail."
His short sentence revealed at least two meanings.
The first is that Li Huacheng has no intention of using this incident to do anything to the Southeast Group and the Prince Group.
The second thing is that no matter how big the trouble is, the Prince Group will still exist, at least the forces headed by Guo Wentian will still exist. This means that they may suffer heavy losses, but in the end they cannot shake their status as a large group.
Li Tianlan hummed and said nothing more.
"Do you have an idea of how Tiannan will develop next?"
Li Huacheng looked at Li Tianlan and asked with a smile.
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said subconsciously: "I have nothing to do with the East Palace. The development of Tiannan is not within the scope of my responsibilities. Let's look at her."
"Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Li Huacheng laughed: "The young couple is at odds. As time goes by, the taste will change. Don't regret it then."
"There is nothing to regret."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
He hesitated slightly and continued: "We are... um... good friends now."
He didn't know what he was thinking of, and his eyes were a little wandering.
"Ha... good friends..."
Li Huacheng was a little lost. After a while, he shook his head: "That's why Xiaobai can spoil you like this."
Li Tianlan said nothing.
This kind of problem is not a question of whether he can figure it out. To be precise, he has not thought about these things at all in the past few days.
When he doesn't think about these things, he can feel a little more relaxed.
When Qin Weibai left, he said he would come to meet him every week. Now that the week is about to pass, Qin Weibai has not come, which makes Li Tianlan feel a little relieved, but also a little unhappy.
But thinking that he would probably see Qin Weibai again after going to Annan today, his heart
Thinking suddenly became more complicated.
There are expectations, but there is also resistance.
This mentality is very hypocritical.
Li Tianlan also knows this, but this is indeed his truest mentality.
"Then let's put it another way, if, let's make a what if."
Li Huacheng smiled and said: "If you had not left the East Palace, what are your thoughts on the development of Tiannan? The conditions in Tiannan now are actually very good, much better than those in Beihai hundreds of years ago."
Li Tianlan believes this.
The various conditions in Tiannan are indeed much better than those in the original Beihai.
At that time, Zhongzhou was not the overlord. Similarly, at that time, Beihai did not have the Shengshi Fund. Moreover, it was a force invited out by Zhongzhou, and its relationship with Zhongzhou was not harmonious.
But now these are no problems for the East Palace.
As the overlord, Zhongzhou has clearly stated its support. The Shengshi Fund is as rich as any country, the new Tiannan is rich in resources, there are many masters in the East Palace, and Li Tianlan is invincible in the world.
With various conditions combined, Tiannan's future is actually not difficult to predict at all.
"The new city plan is very good."
Li Tianlan did not respond to Li Huacheng's question and said calmly: "East Palace will probably not give up."
His eyes were a little dazed because he thought of the person who originally proposed the new city plan.
The new city in the new city plan naturally refers to Xuanyuan City.
But the whole plan involves more than just Xuanyuan City, but how to better control the entire Tiannan with this new city as the center.
When Wang Yuetong originally proposed this plan, he summarized the experience of the Wang family in Beihai, continuously discussed it with Qin Weibai, consulted relevant think tanks, revised it again, and finally had a complete new city plan.
Foundation, development, planning, governance, external and internal, everything is involved.
This plan is filled with not only wisdom, but also experience based on the Beihai Wang family, which can be said to be of infinite value.
The original Donghuang Palace became the Donghuang Palace, but the new city plan has been implemented.
As their strength continued to increase, Qin Weibai and a series of top think tanks from the East Palace only further improved the new city plan created by Wang Yuetong, and had no intention of fundamentally overturning the plan.
Because at this stage, this is the best plan.
"Executive officer system..."
Li Huacheng clicked his tongue and said with a complicated tone, "That little girl Wang Yuetong...if she hadn't left at the beginning, she should be your most capable assistant now."
The executive officer system is part of the new city plan, but it is also the part that Li Huacheng and even the parliament value most.
The complete new city plan covers a wide range of topics, including how to utilize resources, how to position the city, how to maintain stability, how to establish order, what means to use to attract foreign investment, establish pillar industries, etc...
This series of plans is indeed amazing, but for Zhongzhou, the executive officer system she proposed is the most powerless.
This is a new model proposed by Wang Yuetong after summarizing hundreds of years of experience and lessons from the Beihai Wang family.
Executive officers are responsible for guiding Tiannan's overall direction.
The new Tiannan will not have the position of Speaker and will be replaced by an executive officer.
Tiannan also has the position of governor.
However, the scope of the Governor's powers was greatly reduced.
Corresponding to the Governor is the Chief Justice.
The chief's scope of responsibilities is complex and flexible, which can check and balance the governor to the greatest extent.
The two checks and balances each other, making the executive become more detached. Likewise, it will also make the Eastern Palace behind the executive more detached.
In order to show sincerity, the governor of Tiannan can be arranged by the parliament.
But the executive officers and chiefs must follow the will of the Eastern Palace.
To put it simply, the status of the governor is high, but the actual authority is reduced. The chief seems to be able to participate in everything, but he is equivalent to the spokesperson of the executive officer.
The executive status is even more transcendent. He is the spokesperson of the Eastern Palace and has almost absolute control over Tiannan.
Zhongzhou and Emperor Bingshan have accumulated countless conflicts over hundreds of years for Beihai. Wang Yuetong learned this lesson and took the initiative to give the position of governor to Zhongzhou, and appointed another chief general to strictly control the governor.
Executives control everything from a high position.
Under such circumstances, the governor did not even have many opportunities to contact the Eastern Palace, and he posed no threat to the executive officer.
But this position is very important, which is equivalent to giving Zhongzhou enough face and acquiescing to Zhongzhou's influence.
Under such a system, Wang Yuetong was letting go of everything he could to Zhongzhou, and what he should keep was not polite at all.
This also means that as long as the East Palace can hold the position of executive officer, the East Palace will always be as stable as Mount Tai, eliminating all external threats.
How can this make Li Huacheng and other giants in the parliament not feel complicated?
This seemed to open an opening for Zhongzhou, but it also completely blocked their possibility of controlling Tiannan.
What is certain is that as long as the executive system exists, the many conflicts between Zhongzhou and Beihai over the past hundreds of years will basically not happen to Tiannan.
If Zhongzhou wants to powerfully control Tiannan and squeeze out the East Palace, unless it fundamentally disintegrates the executive system, it will be tantamount to losing face, which no one wants to see.
This is an extremely core part of the new city plan.
What is certain is that with the new city plan alone, even if Wang Yuetong leaves Li Tianlan, her name will remain in the history of Tiannan.
"I will get her back."
Li Tianlan's voice was a little deep.
Li Huacheng looked at him deeply and said nothing.
He was very aware of Li Tianlan's activities in the past few days. On the day he moved, or to be precise, while the move was still in progress, Li Tianlan took the initiative to visit Zhou Yunhai, presumably for this very reason.
It was not convenient for Li Huacheng to say anything about this.
For Beihai Wang and Li Tianlan, Wang Yuetong's disappearance is a knot in their hearts.
There is no worry to be found.
If you find it, the situation will become more troublesome. This is probably the so-called bad fate.
The two of them were silent for a while, and no one spoke.
Until the screen hanging in Li Huacheng's office lit up again.
Mars initiated the communication.
Li Huacheng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Tianlan, didn't shy away from anything, and connected directly.
On the other side of the screen, Ma Si was in a daze. He subconsciously called Speaker. When he saw Li Tianlan, he tensed up his body reflexively and said respectfully: "Your Majesty."
Li Tianlan glanced at him, nodded, and said nothing.
"Xiao Ma, how are you in Tiannan?"
Li Huacheng asked with a smile and a gentle voice.
Ma Si had been by his side for many years, and it was impossible to say that he had no feelings. Sending him to the East Palace was a clever move, but no matter how confident Li Huacheng was that he could grasp the situation, he still felt worried at a certain moment.
"not bad."
Ma Si smiled and said, "I'm just used to being by your side. I'm not used to it when you leave suddenly... If I have any problems, I instinctively want to ask you for help. I called you many times, but in the end I endured it.
.”
"You always have to learn to solve problems by yourself. I didn't receive your call for help. This is your progress."
Li Huacheng laughed: "I know your abilities very well, and I have fully considered letting you go to the East Palace. If I say you can do it, you can do it, but you have to give me a good face."
Ma Si restrained his smile and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Speaker."
Li Huacheng said no more, smiled, and asked casually: "What's the matter?"
"That's right."
Ma Si hesitated: "We just received a notification from Annan, and Li Songping contacted him personally.
"Tian Nan Tiao"
The agreement will take effect today, and I will go to the signing site on behalf of Donghuang Palace...
Well, I wonder if you have anything to remind me of."
"Are you going to the signing site?"
Li Huacheng was stunned for a moment.
But before he could speak, Li Tianlan had already asked.
Li Huacheng didn't mind either and smiled without saying a word.
"Yes."
Ma Si nodded respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will fully represent the Eastern Palace to attend this signing ceremony."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while and asked, "Where is she?"
He didn't mention a name, but everyone knew who he was talking about.
Mars paused.
His expression looked a little strange.
Because he suddenly thought of what the knight had said to him...
Of course, the knight also conveyed the palace lord's wishes.
so...
The palace owner had already expected this scene?
Ma Si's expression was somewhat speechless. He was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly and said cautiously: "Your Majesty... that... the Palace Master said that she doesn't want to see you... so... um..."
Don't want to see me?
Don’t want to see me?!
At this moment, Li Huacheng clearly grasped the changes in Li Tianlan's expression.
His eyebrows raised at first.
The whole person seemed to be relieved, but at the same time he frowned in discomfort.
The two actions of sighing in relief and frowning were completed almost at the same time.
Li Huacheng's smile was a little playful, and he seemed to find Li Tianlan's mentality quite interesting.
This kind of mentality is difficult to describe.
If I have to describe it...
Probably:
Donghuang is very happy that you took the initiative to avoid meeting me.
But Donghuang doesn't like your attitude of not wanting to see me.
This mentality caused him to want to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
So Li Tianlan just snorted coldly and didn't say a word.
