Chapter 350. All it takes is an attitude (below).
……
……
Seeing that although Zhao Deqing's expression was flustered, cold sweat broke out, and he looked like he was hanging his head and letting Zhao Junchen scold, but between his expressions, there was still no reflection, but there were more perfunctory copies.
Obviously, Zhao Deqing still didn't realize the severity of the matter, and thought that he only needed to be scolded for this matter.
After all, Zhao Deqing would never have thought that just because of a list of recommended people to enter the Guozijian, Zhao Junchen would make a big move.
Seeing the change in Zhao Deqing's expression, Zhao Junchen smiled coldly and said, "I remember that not long ago, you swore that you boasted, saying that the reason why you were able to serve as the head of the Zhao family was because of your own mind and fairness...... However, the matter of recommending the children of the Zhao family to enter the Guozijian is not only related to the personal future of the children of the Zhao family, but also related to the future prospects of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, which is the most important thing, but in the recommended list drawn up by you, most of them are people who do not learn and have no skills, and most of the children of the Zhao family who are really talented and learned are abandoned by you. Without matching open-mindedness and justice, how can you still serve as the head of the Zhao family? ”
Zhao Junchen's words were obviously openly questioning the reasonableness of Zhao Deqing's position as the head of the family, which suddenly made Zhao Deqing's face change greatly, and the panic in his heart instantly expanded several times.
It was only at this time that Zhao Deqing finally realized the severity of the matter.
It's a pity that one wrong step, one wrong step, Zhao Deqing is not a person with impatience. Although he finally realized the severity of the matter, he was in a panic. But there is no way to reverse it.
What's more, Zhao Junchen will not leave him any chance at all.
Don't wait for Zhao Deqing to explain. Zhao Junchen's expression became more and more cold, and he asked again: "Hmph! If I guessed correctly, the children of the Zhao family who don't learn and don't know how to recommend to me must be members of the Zhao family who are close to you, and those children of the Zhao family who have real talent and real learning but are given up by you must be members of the Zhao family who are estranged from you, right? ”
This kind of thing, as soon as you check it, you will know, how dare Zhao Deqing deceive Zhao Junchen? It's just that it's been so far. Zhao Junchen clearly wants to take Zhao Deqing under the knife, how dare Zhao Deqing admit it?
Therefore, although Zhao Deqing had the intention to defend himself, under Zhao Junchen's questioning, he still stammered and didn't know how to speak.
Seeing Zhao Deqing's appearance, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with disdain, and he sneered even more, and said, "For my own interests." But he abandoned the overall interests of the family and disregarded it, not only using power for personal gain and cronyism, but also secretly suppressing young talents within the family, just like you. How dare you claim to be fair and boastful? With a family head like you, no matter how much I support it, the Yangzhou Zhao family may not have any future at all. In that case, why should I bother to support you in the future? ”
Speaking of which. Zhao Junchen's tone was no longer excited, but the disappointment and indifference implied in it. But it made the people of the Zhao family around him even more frightened
After saying this, Zhao Junchen didn't say anything again, and ignored the explanations and consolations of the elders of the Zhao family, left Zhao Deqing, who was stunned, and got up and left.
*
After Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing's construction, coupled with Zhao Junchen's own observation and judgment, Zhao Junchen did have the idea of replacing the head of the Zhao family.
It's just that it's not convenient for Zhao Junchen to do it personally.
First, Zhao Junchen's ceremony of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors has not yet been held, so Zhao Junchen is not a member of the Zhao family in Yangzhou.
Second, Zhao Junchen had just come to Yangzhou, and he had just reconciled with the Zhao family in Yangzhou, and before he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he suddenly removed the head of the Zhao family.
Third, with Zhao Junchen's current status, he is just the head of the Zhao family, and he can't make Zhao Junchen take action in person.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen just used the topic to show his attitude to the Zhao family this time, that is, in Zhao Junchen's eyes, Zhao Deqing is no longer suitable for the position of the head of the Zhao family, if Zhao Deqing continues to serve as the head of the Zhao family, then Zhao Junchen will no longer support the Zhao family in Yangzhou!
In fact, in this world where interests are paramount, if the strong want to deal with the weak, they don't need to take action themselves, they just need to show their attitude.
Then, either in order to fall into the well, or to compete for benefits, or to flatter the strong, there will naturally be many people rushing up to help the strong solve the trouble.
Although Zhao Deqing is the head of the Zhao family and has been in this position for many years, when he suddenly becomes an obstacle to the Zhao family in Yangzhou, the rest of the Zhao family in Yangzhou will inevitably abandon him without hesitation.
Zhao Junchen's support is of great benefit to the Zhao family in Yangzhou, naturally there is no need to mention it, in order to win Zhao Junchen's favor, sacrificing one or two Zhao family heads is not too important for the rest of the Zhao family.
Therefore, when Zhao Junchen showed his attitude and got up to leave with an unkind expression, some of the elders of the Zhao family looked at Zhao Deqing's eyes, which were gradually meaningful, and Zhao Deqing's fate was doomed at this moment.
In fact, the end of this matter was even faster than Zhao Junchen expected.
Just an hour later, several elders of the Zhao family suddenly visited Zhao Junchen and claimed that the Zhao family had just held a clan conference - saying that it was a clan conference, in fact, it was a criticism meeting of the current head of the Zhao family, Zhao Deqing, at the clan conference, the elders of the Zhao family counted Zhao Deqing's "bad deeds" over the years, and unanimously decided that Zhao Deqing was no longer suitable for the position of the head of the Zhao family.
Then, under the anger of the crowd, Zhao Deqing lost the position of the head of the Zhao family without resistance.
Zhao Deqing served as the head of the Zhao family for twenty years, and naturally cultivated many cronies in the Zhao family. However, during the clan assembly, Zhao Deqing's "cronies" were the most active and hostile to Zhao Deqing, and it was clear that these people were trying to prove their position to Zhao Junchen - in the eyes of these people, since Zhao Junchen was able to give them greater benefits, then there was no need for Zhao Deqing, the former master, to save zài.
When the elders of the Zhao family described the scene at the clan meeting in detail to Zhao Junchen, although Zhao Junchen had expected it, he still had some emotion in his heart.
Under the absolute interests, family affection, kindness, and position are really unreliable.
And just when Zhao Junchen sighed, an elder of the Zhao family cautiously asked Zhao Junchen for instructions, saying that the candidate for the next head of the Zhao family had not yet been determined, and he hoped that Zhao Junchen could give some "construction".
Although it is "建yì", in today's form, Zhao Junchen's "建yì" is no longer any different from "appointment".
