The salesman was still explaining the words of his old friend. "My friend happened to know Zhao Shiyi of the Zhao family whom I mentioned before. The relationship between the two of them is quite good, so from Zhao Shiyi's words
My old friend was able to find out some inside information about the Zhao family."
Maybe he thought of Zhao Shiyi's weird attribute of telling the truth after drinking. When the salesman said this, he couldn't help but feel very funny. He really had never met anyone like Zhao Shiyi.
They all say that people tell the truth when they are drunk, but there is no one like him. After drinking a few glasses of wine and getting drunk, he actually says anything when asked. This makes him a traitor.
"It is said that Zhao Shiyi mentioned some information within the Zhao family. The main reason is that there are no particularly outstanding figures in the Zhao family in these generations. Therefore, the powerful patriarchs are not very willing to disclose their own information.
Rights are passed to subsequent successors.
The clan elders always think that those people are not good enough to control the entire family. So, the clan elders who are really in power are already in their seventies and eighties. Finally, they feel that they can relieve themselves of the burden and look forward to the great success of the Zhao family.
When I was the head of the Zhao family.
However, things took a sudden turn, and all the expectations of everyone in the Zhao family were suddenly stifled. Therefore, the elderly people could not withstand the blow, and two clan elders died directly at that time. The bodies of those who were left behind
It was also a serious injury, so that for a long period of time, the few clan elders who were still alive could only take a good rest."
The salesman still remembers how arrogant his old friend laughed when he mentioned this matter. Only an extremely xenophobic family like the Zhao family would do such an unbelievable thing. Just because of the qualifications of the younger generation.
It's not enough, so these old guys cling to their power, always feeling that if their power is given to mediocre people, it will be detrimental to the interests of the children of the clan.
When he said this, the old friend's face was full of disdain. It sounds nice, but in fact, these old people are still holding on to their power. That is to say, their juniors are really too mediocre in ability, so
They can't even control these old guys, they can't seize power, they can only be managed by others.
In fact, the Zhao family is like this. Their ancestral precepts are extremely exclusive. This kind of ancestral precepts has advantages, but of course it also has great disadvantages. The advantage is that it prevents people in the clan from interacting with other outsiders and protects the rights and interests of the people in the clan.
It is safe and also ensures that the power in the family will not be scattered.
But the downside is that the change of power is often a big move. After all, those who hold power are unwilling to abdicate. So even though the ancestral motto of the Zhao family, in addition to exclusion, is to unite and care for everyone in the clan, it still cannot
To avoid this, every power struggle is very fierce. It is often the new generation of people who viciously oust the older generation, and only then can they control the rights in the clan.
As for the current generation of the Zhao family, the main reason why the elders are very old is because they have not produced any amazing figures for several generations. Just because there is no leader, the qualifications of the younger generations are generally the same.
They are all relatively mediocre. In addition, their original clan education has been passed down from generation to generation. As their minds become more and more constrained, unless the children are extremely talented, they will easily be taught to become ordinary people who can only be obedient.
Maybe God felt that the Zhao family's luck had come to an end, so even though there was a stunning leader like the previous head of the Zhao family, the qualifications of the younger generations of the Zhao family of that generation were still only average.
Just look at the current head of the Zhao family and the third master of the Zhao family who manages the general affairs of the Zhao family. It can be seen that a person like the third master of the Zhao family can be regarded as an ordinary and conservative figure, but the head of the Zhao family is definitely a prodigal.
people.
And because the previous head of the Zhao family passed away suddenly, it was a devastating blow to the Zhao family. The clans that were in power at that time were already very old, but because the younger generations did not have the ability, they were
They were driven down from their current position, so they remained firmly seated there without moving.
Originally, those few people were still dreaming of sweet dreams. After all, they finally saw the hope of the Zhao family. With the qualifications of the previous head of the Zhao family, he could definitely lead the Zhao family out of the trough and enable the Zhao family to develop again.
After all, there has been no outstanding figure in several generations, and the clan elders are also panicking. But they are unwilling to pass on their power to a junior with mediocre qualifications. So it can be said that they are
All hopes were placed on the previous head of the Zhao family. However, the weather was unpredictable, and God still did not give the Zhao family a chance to revive.
Moreover, after the Zhao family received the tragic news that the previous head of the family had passed away, they were so disappointed that two clan elders who were too old and in poor health also passed away along with the news of the death of the previous head of the Zhao family.
The few clan elders who barely survived are not as healthy as before. After all, a person's energy and spirit determine their health.
The previous head of the Zhao family, they felt that they had the face to face their underground ancestors, and they even looked forward to the Zhao family's rapid rise. Under the influence of such spiritual will, these elderly clan members who were nearly seventy years old
Old people, they are simply bursting with youth again.
But who would have expected that this burst of youth did not last long, and instead became a burning that exhausted their vitality. Therefore, although the living elders did not die, their bodies collapsed all at once, and they could no longer manage their affairs.
.
And because they have been in control of power for a long time, they do not give the people below them any chance to manage. So when these clan elders fell, the situation of the Zhao family suddenly took a turn for the worse. It was no longer the case that several clan elders were in charge of the housework together.
In this era, it has become a situation where the Zhao family is dominated by one person and no one can supervise it.
The reason why the third master of the Zhao family is allowed to manage the general affairs of the family is because the current head of the Zhao family is too lazy to take care of those messy things. He only needs to be responsible for spending money, and he will delegate everything that needs to be worried about to his third brother.
This cannot be too much blamed on the current head of the Zhao family, who is Zhao Rong's father. In fact, no one in the family paid much attention to him since he was a child, and no one even paid special attention to him in terms of education. (Unfinished)
