Chapter 47
The merchant was still explaining the words of his old friend. "That friend of mine happens to know the Zhao family Zhao Eleven I mentioned earlier. The relationship between the two of them is still very good, so from Zhao Shiyi's mouth, my old friend was able to find out some internal information about the Zhao family. ”
Maybe he thought of Zhao Shiyi's weird, drunken and truthful "sex", when the merchant said this, he couldn't help but feel very funny in his heart. He still hasn't met anyone like Zhao Shiyi, everyone says that they spit the truth after drinking, but there is no one like him. After drinking a few glasses of wine and getting drunk, people actually asked what to say, this is simply a traitor's material.
"It is said that Zhao Shiyi mentioned some information within the Zhao family, the most important thing is that there are no particularly outstanding figures in the Zhao family in these generations. Therefore, the patriarchs in power are not very willing to pass on their rights to the successors who follow.
The clan elders always think that those people are not good enough to control the entire family. So much so that the elders of the clan who are really in power are already seventy or eighty years old. And finally they felt that they could unload the burden and look forward to the Zhao family's flying and soaring, that is, when the previous head of the Zhao family was born.
It's just that things took a sharp turn, and all of a sudden, everyone's expectations in the Zhao family were stifled. So the elderly couldn't withstand the blow, and two clan elders died directly at that time. And the few people who were left behind were also seriously injured, so that for a long time, those still living clan elders could only recuperate. ”
The merchant still remembers how arrogant his old friend laughed when he mentioned this incident. Only an extremely xenophobic person like the Zhao family would do such an unbelievable thing. Just because the qualifications of the juniors are not enough, this bunch of old things cling to power, always feeling that if their power is distributed to that mediocre person, 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's nice to say, but in fact, these old things are not just clinging to power. That is, their juniors are really too mediocre in ability, so they can't even control these old things, they can't seize power, and they can only be managed by others.
In fact, the Zhao family is like this, and their ancestral training is extremely xenophobic. This kind of ancestral teaching has benefits, but of course it also has great disadvantages. The advantage is that it avoids the interaction between the clan and other outsiders, protects the safety of the clan, and also ensures that the power in the clan is not dispersed.
But the downside is that often the change of power is a big move, after all, those who hold power are unwilling to abdicate. Therefore, even if the ancestral training of the Zhao family is not only xenophobic, but also unites and loves everyone in the clan, it is still inevitable that every power alternation struggle is very fierce. It is often the new generation of people who viciously oust the older generation from power, so that they can grasp those rights in the clan.
And the Zhao family has reached this generation, the main reason why the elders of the clan are very old is that they are good, they have not been out for several generations, and there are no amazing characters. Just because there is no leader, the qualifications of the juniors are generally relatively mediocre, plus their original clan education has been passed down from generation to generation, as the mind is more and more constrained, children are easily taught to become ordinary people who can only obey unless they are talented.
Maybe God thinks that the luck of the Zhao family has come to an end, so even with the amazing leader of the previous Zhao family, the qualifications of the descendants of the Zhao family of that generation can still only be regarded as ordinary.
Looking at the current head of the Zhao family and the third master of the Zhao family who manages the affairs of the Zhao family, it can be seen that a character like the third master of the Zhao family can almost be regarded as an ordinary and conservative character, but the head of the Zhao family is definitely a loser.
And because the previous head of the Zhao family passed away suddenly, it was a blow to the Zhao family that was no less than the collapse of the sky. Originally, the clans in power at that time were already very old, but because the juniors did not have the ability to drive them down from their current positions, they just sat there firmly and did not move their places.
Originally, those people were still dreaming, after all, they finally saw the hope of the Zhao family, with the qualifications of the previous head of the Zhao family, he could lead the Zhao family out of the trough and let the Zhao family develop again.
After all, there have been no outstanding figures in several generations, and the clan elders are also panicked in their hearts. But let them pass on the power in their hands and hand it over to a junior with mediocre qualifications, and they are unwilling in their hearts. So it can be said that they put all their hopes on the previous head of the Zhao family. It's just that the sky is unpredictable, and God still hasn't given the Zhao family a chance to ZTE this time.
Moreover, after the Zhao family received the bad news of the death of the previous head of the family, because of the disappointment, two elders who were too old and not in good health also passed away along with the news of the death of the previous head of the Zhao family. And the elders who barely survived are not as healthy as before, after all, people's spirit determines the degree of physical health.
Originally, the previous head of the Zhao family, they felt that they had the face to face the ancestors underground, and they were looking forward to the Zhao family being able to soar.
But who knows, this burst of youth did not last long, but became a burning that exhausted their vitality. So although the living clan elders did not die, their bodies also collapsed all of a sudden, and they could no longer govern.
And because they have been in power for a long time, they don't give anyone below a chance to manage. So when these clan elders fell, the situation of the Zhao family suddenly took a sharp turn, and it was no longer an era when several clan elders were in charge of the housework together, but it became a form in which the head of the Zhao family was alone and no one could supervise it.
The reason why the third master of the Zhao family is allowed to manage the affairs of the clan 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, but everything that needs to be "", he pushes it to his third brother.
This can't blame the current head of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Rong's father. In fact, since he was a child, no one in the clan has paid attention to him, and no one has even taken special care of him in terms of education.
