Chapter 1352: There Will Always Be Teams
If the base is small, one person’s words have the final say; if the base is large, one person’s words do not count.
The founding emperors of all dynasties were all talented and ambitious, but they were not the ones who had the final say. They were good at maintaining internal and external relationships and allowed various nepotistic interest groups to a certain extent.
If one person must have the final say, he will become a tyrant and the empire will collapse quickly.
As cruel as Li Er was, who forced his father to kill his brother, he seemed like a different person after he ascended the throne. He was confronted by Wei Zheng every day but he could do nothing about him.
Because at this time he was considering different issues. The huge imperial machine was already running, so he had to change the model.
The same is true for Lei Zhen. Although he could not become an emperor, he had indeed established a huge empire: the financial, military, commercial and other territories had been fully expanded.
His imperial machine has also been put into operation, so things can no longer be the same as before.
To conquer the world, you have to swing your sword until it smokes and kill all those who refuse to obey; to rule the world, you have to rely on the art of balance, especially skills and means.
Lei Zhen tacitly agreed to Long Bao's trip to Mengdi. He could guess what would happen, and he could also guess that Xiao Hongyu guessed what he was thinking.
Cultivate another wave of power on top of the existing power structure.
With the little red fish as the core, behind it is the rapidly recovering Zhu family, the Long family represented by the dragon baby, and the Tianji Temple controlled by Yuan Sancai, and behind Tianji Temple are the famous and prestigious families.
After this structure was formed, no one could shake Little Red Fish's position, whether in the normal world, the family world, or even the top-level prestigious families.
To put it simply, a three-level princeling power was formed, ultimately ensuring that his son could take over smoothly.
In addition, the backyard was also differentiated.
Shu Jin represents the big boss faction and the brother faction. Needless to say, the big boss faction is all named with the word "old" at the end of their titles, while the brother faction is those who followed Lei Zhen in the early days.
These people only recognize her and no one else.
The parrot represents the overseas faction, has a huge intelligence system, is the princess of the Magic City Iron Triangle, and has considerable influence in the military.
Now the King of Qin is the king of the plateau continent, with hundreds of thousands of mercenaries at his command, and he only recognizes parrots.
These are the three main forces in the backyard. Although there are no conflicts now, Lei Zhen is not confident enough to think that they will always live in peace.
Even if a few people are willing to get along well, how can the underlying conflicts of interest be resolved? You can't just punish your own people for a small matter. How can you survive in the long run?
Where there are people, there are disputes; where there are people, there are battlefields.
Many times we don’t consciously decide to do something, but often act passively, and eventually we become active.
Good brothers are together for life, drinking, peeing and picking up girls together, but what if there is a conflict between the families of both sides one day?
Of course, we must reconcile first, but what should we do if reconciliation fails and conflicts arise?
In the end, they can only choose their own family, and the brothers turn against each other and drift further and further apart.
Moreover, Lei Zhen has also discovered a problem recently. Kang Min, Han Shuixian and Yu Qing are close to Shu Jin; Chi Ya and Jin Ju are close to Jiang Nan and her daughter; Huang Rui is a separate group because she and the parrot are a family; Nai Zi did not choose Jiang Nan, but habitually lived with Su Fengyi.
Although it seems normal on the surface, in fact everyone knows what is going on and chooses the side that suits them best.
Kang Min and Han Shuixian didn't have too many thoughts. Su Fengyi was as lazy as a cat every day. After all, you can't expect to encounter any danger, so you have to engage in intrigue with the exquisite lady who ran away with Lei Zhen, right?
But Jin Ju, Huang Rui, Chi Ya, Yu Qing and the others are all smart people. They know how to choose and are clear about who will be more beneficial to them.
"I was happier when I was building my own kingdom..."
Lei Zhen rubbed his solar plexus and suddenly felt very tired. He was worried about everything inside and outside the body. The women in the backyard were almost all setting up a stage to perform.
I should have been more restrained earlier. What’s the good of having too many women?
Apart from the fact that plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum each have their own characteristics, apart from the fact that they are all beautiful, apart from the fact that their reactions are different and interesting, apart from the different feelings, there is really nothing good about them.
Thinking of this, Lei Zhen picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Dad, in ten minutes two missiles will hit your location."
"Is it interesting? Come on, blow me to death, blow your mother to death, blow your little sister to death! Being threatened by my son every day, there's no point in living anymore. It's more peaceful to die!"
After receiving the call, Lei Hongwu was so desperate that he wished he could have smashed it against the wall.
I'm already old, and I'm still a father after all. I feel suffocated just thinking about being threatened by my son all the time. It would be better for them to just die.
"It's just a joke, is it that serious?" Lei Zhen laughed. "If I really launched a missile at you, I wouldn't have called to tell you. This is just a little joke between us father and son."
"A little humor? This is intimidation!"
"Dad, I've always wanted to mend our relationship, but I've been holding back a lot of anger, so I've been expressing it in subtle ways. There are times when I want to call you, but I don't know what to say, so that's why I'm like this."
Lei Hongwu on the other end of the phone didn't say anything, but one could sense that he wasn't as angry anymore.
In fact, if you think about it from his perspective, he is helpless. He resorted to this bad idea in order to save his son, so he can't say anything when his son hates him.
Who can be blamed?
He didn't want to do this, but there was nothing he could do.
"Lei Zhen, I understand you, but next time, don't use this kind of humor. In fact, you can use other humor instead, even jokes that don't discriminate between sex or sex."
"I wasn't able to accompany you in your growth and missed your best years. I blame myself very much, but there's nothing anyone can do. I hope we can have a chance to sit down and have a good talk."
Lei Hongwu was full of self-blame on the phone, but he didn't blame his son.
This was caused by the times and the environment. He has always been proud to have such a son.
"Okay, I'll take you to practice Taoism when I have the chance."
"Practicing Taoism?"
"Yes, cultivation, true cultivation!"
Lei Zhen also relaxed and decided to find an opportunity to take his father to the best Taoist temple to practice Taoism. After all, it didn't matter whether he ate meat or vegetables.
"Really? Can your mom fix it?"
"You should learn to cultivate Taoism first, and then teach my mother to cultivate Taoism."
"Okay, okay, you are my good son!"
Lei Hongwu on the other end of the phone was very excited. Although he had never been to the world of noble families, he had been exposed to it before, so he could accept Taoism.
Unfortunately, his understanding of cultivation is different from what Lei Zhen said.
"Son, you dare ask me for help? If you have something to say, just tell me. There's no need for us to hide it."
"Dad, I'm going out in a few days. When I go, please help me stay in charge and stabilize these families. As long as there is no chaos, it will be fine."
"No problem, your dad does have this ability, hahaha."
“…”
The best candidate to stabilize the overall situation is Lei Hongwu. He is the previous president and has both the means and the abilities.
The most important thing is that the third child is a girl, so with her own father in charge, there will be no chaos no matter what.
