Chapter 1224 - Negotiation = Passing the blame
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
Now Wan Fayi has set up the stage, just waiting for the many characters of this big drama to come on stage.
And the Jade Emperor, who he considered to be the protagonist and leading star of this plan, was gathering in a city thousands of miles away from Qian Shen Mountain, just as he had received the news.
Many powerful men from the Jade Emperor's lineage occupied a city like a heretical alliance and were watching the movements of Qian Shen Mountain. However, even in the current situation, everyone had to stand together for the time being. , the forces under the Jade Emperor are still distinct.
There are many factions under the Jade Emperor, including clans, nobles, factory guards, courts, civil and military factions. Some of them are clearly distinct. Some are me among you, and you are among me. In this city, all the factions are combined. His attitude and stance were revealed in an unabashed way.
"Haha, if it weren't for the big event now, everyone would have guessed it. I can guarantee that if all parties come together, they would have started fighting among themselves." This is a certain strong man. He complained in private, but his words were unanimously recognized by powerful people from all sides, and no one expressed doubts about this sentence.
Indeed, the battle between these factions within the Jade Emperor is no longer a day or two. The battle for countless years is not only a simple battle of grudges, but also the most real battle of interests and concessions. It means that the interests are damaged. In the past, all parties competed for interests, and I don't know how many grievances have been formed.
If it weren't for the numerous threats in this world, none of them would have enough confidence to say that they could face all the forces alone and seize the Great Law Order Technique alone.
Otherwise, these people will definitely not mind playing a one-handed game and have to settle down inside. Before they really take action, they will first deal with the guys they usually dislike.
"Let's talk, the people under our respective subordinates don't have enough mutual trust now. This is not good news." Liu Wenzhao, wearing a Feiyu suit, looked at the people around him with a mocking look on his lips.
On this attic, in addition to Liu Wenzhao, there are eight or nine other people. Each of them is not inferior to Liu Wenzhao in strength, and they all belong to the lineage of the Jade Emperor. The strong man of the faction.
Although no more powerful true immortals have been cultivated over the years, the Jade Emperor's position inherently surpasses other parties, and he has gained more benefits than other parties.
So even though there are few true immortals, there are many strong ones at the strongest level. These are the foundation of the Jade Emperor's lineage. It can be said that although they are not the top force, they are the top and strongest ones on the Jade Emperor's side. The number is no different from those of the top immortal sects.
Although Liu Wenzhao is just an envoy according to his official position and is not as prominent as other people's official positions, in this extraordinary world, even if there is a difference in official positions, it is more important to treat the strong own strength.
Even monks in high positions will not show any contempt when faced with powerful people whose official positions are lower than their own. Even if their official positions are temporarily low, a truly strong person still has a considerable say in many matters.
So even if the people sitting here are not the royal family princes or county princes surnamed Zhu, the Dukes of the Ming Dynasty, the feudal officials in the court, or the commander-in-chief of the army, he can still use such words. manner.
Faced with his verbal attitude, no one among the people sitting there would feel neglected by the other party, let alone disrespectful, because the other party's strength is there. A strong man at the level of the most powerful overlord is the backbone of any force.
It is even said that as a casual cultivator, if there is no conflict of interest, he can get enough respect even when facing a true immortal.
And the most important point is that there is no problem with what Liu Wenzhao said. This is the fact and their current situation. After all, if there is a problem with what the other party said, why do they need to gather together? What about here?
"Uncle Ning Yuan, what do you think?" Prince Yu, who was sitting at the top, looked at Uncle Hou, a member of the noble lineage.
Prince Yu, now one of the Jade Emperor’s biological sons, although he has not yet been crowned the prince, but with his outstanding performance, whether in the clan or among some ministers and elders in the court, They all have a good impression of him.
Because among the many princes, this one respected the ministers in the court and was quite close to the civil servants, so the civil servants also had great support for him.
It can be said that this is also a person with high authority in the Jade Emperor's lineage. In addition to several true immortals on the Jade Emperor's side and strong men who are comparable to true immortals, even some clan members The princes and kings all need to give him a head.
Now that King Yu spoke, everyone looked at Uncle Ning Yuan, waiting for his answer.
After hearing King Yu's inquiry, Ning Yuanbo secretly said something bad in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "I am just a martial artist, and I have never been good at these kinds of plans. With all of you here today, I will not show off." It’s all up to you.”
Ning Yuanbo sneered in his heart. The purpose of gathering here today is not only to discuss how to deal with this plan, but it is actually not a meeting. Rehearsed pot meetings in advance.
The current situation is not optimistic. All parties are unwilling to see the Jade Emperor break the deadlock and destroy the current interest system.
It is true that some powerful forces are ambitious and are not satisfied with the current division of interests, but this is only a small part. For most forces, they are still satisfied, because they cannot guarantee that even if After the re-division, the benefits you can get will be more.
The reshuffle of interests is full of too many unknowns. Except for the forces that are extremely confident in their own strength, some forces that are neither strong nor weak actually still have hesitation in their hearts. They cannot guarantee Saying that interest shuffling is better for them allows them to obtain more divisions of interests.
You must know that in the current situation, if the interests of the world do not increase, everyone knows how to divide them. What many ambitious forces want to do is not to completely overthrow those powerful forces. They What's more, they want to separate themselves from those top forces.
After all, there are different situations between asking the other party to give up some interests and asking the other party to completely withdraw. In the former case, the other party may make a choice and compromise, while in the latter case, it will cause the other party to counterattack. There is no doubt that it will lead to a lose-lose situation, and it may be a situation where the fish is dead and the net is broken.
Moreover, it is easy to seize some benefits. The price that needs to be paid to overthrow a top immortal sect is something that these forces cannot fully pay.
In this case, even if the interest pattern is reshuffled, it does not mean that they will be able to gain more. There may even be top forces that transfer some of their interests and then take advantage of them as weak forces. Make up for your own situation.
Therefore, in some cases, although for those weaker forces, maintaining the current structure may gain less, but it is better than stability and steady flow. And once the situation is reshuffled, they are likely to face a situation where the odds are against them, and they will end up working hard to become others' cannon fodder, making wedding dresses for others, or even getting involved themselves.
No one is a fool, and no one wants to fulfill others.
So in the current situation, there are still many forces that are really inclined to maintain stability, and they account for the majority. These people are inclined to contain the existence of the Jade Emperor to break the deadlock, especially the top forces. If you stand up and call for help, these forces will definitely come out and respond no matter what.
On the contrary, it is their side. Although the Jade Emperor is powerful, it can break the existing balance and reshuffle the pattern of the heavens and seas, which is in line with the expectations of many forces.
But these forces are all waiting and watching. They are all waiting for the Jade Emperor to come forward. Except for the firm support of a small number of forces, the other forces are more like grassroots. Which side is strong?
This is the dilemma that the Jade Emperor faces on the one hand. In fact, if all the forces are really to be integrated and the two sides engage in a battle of chariots and horses, even if they are slightly inferior, they will not be too weak.
But the key is this, their power cannot be integrated at all, and most of the allies around them dare not believe it or rely on it.
This is also the situation caused by the Shenxiao lineage now stepping forward. Even if they know that this is a trap, they have to come here.
The current situation is that facing such a strong lineup, even if the opponent is not truly integrated, the possibility of our own failure is very high.
What is the purpose of the Jade Emperor's lineage coming to the Wanfa Realm? It is to seize the Great Law Order. They are not simply testing like other forces. Even if they fail, no one will hold them accountable. At most, Lost the opportunity itself.
On the Jade Emperor's side, if they really return empty-handed, even if everyone knows that they are guilty of non-war crimes due to the situation, they will not be able to escape the punishment they deserve, nor can they escape the responsibilities they should bear.
This is the difference between their system and other parties. No matter what the reason is, as long as the task is not completed and the plan fails, someone or a faction must take responsibility. This is inevitable, even if it is Everyone knows you were wronged.
So the negotiation and cooperation between these parties, when there is almost no guarantee of victory, is actually sharing responsibilities. If anyone speaks out, he is likely to be directly made a scapegoat.
Wang Yu asked himself directly just now, not because the other party thought highly of him, but because he was easy to bully.
After all, the other party is from the royal family. Even if not everyone in the royal family supports him, he cannot blame the royal family directly. This will cause dissatisfaction from some people.
Similarly, the royal family could not give full support. King Yu was close to the civil servants. Only with the support of civil servants could he make a voice in the court. He certainly could not leave the problem to the civil servants.
Not to mention the factory guards. The brains of these factory guards are the confidants of the Jade Emperor. They are the Jade Emperor's domestic slaves. It can be said that all their actions are endorsed by the Jade Emperor. They give the factory If Wei shirks the blame, he will discredit the Jade Emperor. King Yu is not that stupid.
But after going around, it seems that they are the only ones who are easy to bully, and since the nobles have connections with all parties, and the nobles themselves are very fierce in fighting, then it must be the best choice. .
And he, Ning Yuanbo, is a newly promoted nobleman. He was the one who was separated from the general line by the Jade Emperor in order to divide the power of the imperial court. It can be said that he is a traitor to the imperial family and to the imperial family. Xungui is not really one of his own, and has not yet been recognized. There is no doubt that he is the best person to dump the blame.
However, this Ning Yuanbo is not an easy person. He can rise among the many factions of the Jade Emperor today, and he can also be recognized by the Jade Emperor. Even if the Jade Emperor has the element of taking advantage, it also proves that he You have the ability, otherwise there is no value in using it.
After hearing King Daoyu's inquiry, he knew that the situation was going to be bad and that the other party was going to blame him, so he immediately reacted, asking questions that he didn't know, pretending to be dumbfounded, and acting like you said After all, I only listen to your arrangements. Even if I fail in the end, it has nothing to do with me. It is your attitude that decides.
Hearing such an answer, King Yu couldn't help but frown slightly. He secretly thought that Uncle Ning Yuan was not easy to deal with. He couldn't help but look at the civil servants.
Some people in the Wenchen lineage immediately nodded and said, "Uncle Ning Yuan is joking. Who doesn't know that you, Uncle Ning Yuan, are good at fighting and planning unparalleled? Your uncle's achievements are real and there is no trace of them. Mix it with water.”
His words may seem like compliments, but they are actually compliments, which means don’t pretend to be stupid.
The speaker's name is Wang Xijue, who is now the secretary of the Imperial College and a well-known rising star in the line of civil servants.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Ning Yuan seemed to have made up his mind. He pretended to be honest and said with a smile: "Wang Siye actually misunderstood. I am able to be where I am today. One is because he is favored by His Majesty, and the other is good luck. Relying on his recklessness and courage If you dare to fight hard, there are also assistants like you strategists. "Zuo, plus a little bit of luck. It's okay if you want me to rush in and fight to the death. If you ask me to plan something, it's ridiculous."
He didn't admit that he was good at planning at all, he was just talking about himself. It was due to the attention of the Jade Emperor and the planning of the military advisor.
And directly hinted to these people that you can let me go up and kill them, but don't look to me for planning.
In Ning Yuanbo’s view, in this situation anyway, it is inevitable that the trialists in this world of laws will die in battle, but fortunately it is only some losses. As long as they don’t take the blame and are not punished, sooner or later It can also be recovered.
There was a moment of silence. Although there were eight or nine people present, they suddenly fell into dead silence at this moment.
Obviously, even other parties did not expect that Uncle Ning Yuan would be so careless about face. No matter what you say, I just look like I will not take the blame.
"Haha, is this how you serve His Majesty?" A sneer sounded, and the faces of everyone in the audience changed.
