Chapter 847: Ginger is still spicy with age

It can be said that Cai Erhe expressed everyone's thoughts.

No matter how you deal with Tang Tian now, it will make people chill...

Xiang Shurong snorted coldly and said: "Third Elder, you really can't offend anyone by what you said. According to what you said, do you really have to wait for the acting city lord to make a decision? If you have to trouble the acting city lord for everything, Excuse me, why does Tianjian City want us old guys to be elders? Is it because the meeting hall is too empty and is used for decoration? "

However, Cai Erhe shook his head calmly and said: "Second Elder, this is wrong. I just hope that everyone can be more careful and patient when considering the problem."

All along, every time the great elder made a decision, the second elder would come out and sing the opposite, and then the third elder would fight with Xi Ni.

The other elders present, from various factions, were silent most of the time. At most, they only cast a vote at the last moment.

"If you are a subordinate city lord of Tianjian City and a powerful person in the Divine Sea Realm, and you bully others regardless of your status, then you will definitely deserve to die. Let's think about it from the perspective of Liu Jingtian and his son. If Liu Jingtian and his son want to take action against your descendants, how should they be? How about it? Should all geniuses who come to our Tianjian City be bullied when they meet the subordinate city lord? Then what should we do in the future?

Ye Qiuwen's voice was extremely cold, showing the majesty of being a great elder.

Then he looked at Xiang Shurong, "Liu Jingtian's death was his own fault. Over the years, the city lords of these subordinate cities have become more and more lawless. In their view, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and even our Tianjian City can't do anything about it. They, even the disciples of Tianjian City, encountered resistance when they went to these subordinate cities, and they refused to cooperate. Where is the majesty of our Tianjian City? "

The whole place was silent, all silenced by Ye Qiuwen's words.

Even Xiang Shurong had a sullen face and said nothing. He was really unable to refute.

Ye Qiuwen struck while the iron was hot and continued to raise his voice, "Over the years, you have been in high positions, but you have been too conservative and timid in your actions. If you have a little bit of the blood of young people, how can it make our Presbyterian Church so powerless now? Always thinking Are you worried about offending the city lord below? If they don't feel cold, who will suffer in the end? We are still the ones who are really embarrassed!"

"What the Great Elder said is absolutely true, especially since Tianjian City has not had an official city lord for several generations... so that the following city lords are even more unscrupulous. It can even be said that they simply think that our words are not justified, so how can we do this? Follow the instructions of our subordinates wholeheartedly!”

Cai Erhe was convinced and nodded in agreement.

Over the years, even as elders of the Presbyterian Church, they would encounter nails when they went out to do business.

Therefore, what Ye Qiuwen just said was no longer from the perspective of Tianjian City, but from the perspective of the Presbyterian Council's own interests and the conflict with the subordinate city lords, discussing Tang Tian's matter. question.

In other words, since there is no real city lord in Tianjian City, the minds of the following subordinate city lords who are also powerful in the Divine Sea Realm have become a little more active and different.

Anywhere, the concentration of power is the key to a force's ability to impose orders and prohibitions.

And once there is a situation where generals are away and military orders are not obeyed, then a split will occur.

How could the elders in high positions be willing to face such a situation?

The concentration of power is the greatest benefit to them.

If Tang Tian's matter was only for the greater benefit of Tianjian City, these elders would not feel anything at all.

After all, the selfishness of human nature will not allow them to be sincere and really consider the overall situation.

But once it comes to self-interest, the idea will naturally be different.

As the saying goes, it's none of your business.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Qiuwen's mouth, "You thought that being in the Presbyterian Council must be aloof, but you didn't know that when you went down, those city lords didn't even look at you. Liu Jingtian's death would at most give them a chance to find you. Let's make a fuss, but after all, Liu Jingtian's death will not cause them any loss. If anyone really dares to stand up against our Presbyterian Council, the acting city lord will not spare them."

No one is a fool if he shoots the first bird, and naturally he knows how to protect himself wisely.

Xiang Shurong's face was pale. He didn't expect that Jiang was still too old to fight back. This time, he didn't have any ability to fight back.

This made him feel unwilling, and continued: "What if the city lords of the subordinate cities take advantage of this incident to cause trouble? Are we going to fall out with these subordinate cities for the sake of Tang Tian, ​​and then let Tianjian City fall apart?"

After Ye Qiuwen heard this, he smiled and looked at Xiang Shurong, "Do they dare? Tang Tian can kill one Liu Jingtian, but we can't kill others? Over the years, our Presbyterian Church has been too easy to talk to. This incident with Tang Tian is just an opportunity to test the thoughts and positions of the subordinate city lords, or to shake things up, eradicate dissidents, and improve the status of our Presbyterian Council!"

When all the elders present heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and felt a chill all over their bodies.

But after carefully understanding the meaning of Ye Qiu's question, everyone was aroused with passion. To be precise, it was the desire for power!

Who doesn’t want to be at the top, who doesn’t want to be awed by everyone?

Cai Erhe glanced at Xiang Shurong, who was pale, and shook his head secretly.

I have to say, ginger is still spicy!

Ye Qiuwen did not directly discuss how Tang Tian should deal with it, but discussed how to deal with the conflicts between the city lords of these subordinate cities and the Elders' Council.

In this case, Tang Tian's killing of the city lord of Jingtianjian City is a small matter, and even a great achievement, which makes all the elders of the Elders' Council feel good about Tang Tian.

"Ahem..."

Ye Qiuwen coughed lightly and said to the many elders present: "No matter whether Tang Tian is loyal or not, at least he has entered Tianjian City and become a disciple of Tianjian City. That is an indisputable fact. Even if he has second thoughts, we can use him. Why can't we make him a sharp sword in the hands of our Tianjian City? Why not?"

It must be said that these words touched everyone's heart again.

Xiang Shurong's expression eased a little. It seems that the great elder Ye Qiuwen still agrees with what he said just now, but the attitudes and methods of the two in solving this matter are different.

One advocates not to take it, and the other insists on taking it and taking advantage of it.

Who is higher and who is lower, you can tell at a glance.

Ye Qiuwen was able to become the great elder of Tianjian City and sit in this position for many years. He is really not an easy person to deal with.

But no matter what he said or did, he could not be lowered. From the perspective of every aspect of interests, he could touch other people's hearts...
