For the Zhao family, the defeat on Gunkan Island also means a lot of things.

When Zhao Daizong left, he saved a lot of face with his light aura and re-boosted his morale. But as far as he was concerned, he had not lost his due vigilance at all.

After leaving Gunkanjima, he did not return directly to Haifan, but took a private spaceship and went directly to Ruhui Island.

Ruhui Island is located in a small glacier island near the extreme of Tonghaixing, the area is not large, but it has a unique scenery, but unfortunately this place is not open to the public, is the private property of the Zhao family. Only important family members have the right to go to Ruhui Island for a relaxing holiday.

The spaceship landed on the small port at the northernmost tip of Ruhui Island, and Zhao Daizong stepped off the spaceship with an expressionless face, but the moment he landed, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Because he was not far ahead, he saw an unexpected person. An old man of medium stature and kind eyes.

"Dad?"

As Zhao Daizong spoke, this ordinary-looking old man also revealed an extraordinary identity.

The contemporary head of the Zhao family, the true ruler of Tong Haixing, led the family against the central government for fifty years, Zhao Zhiru.

This is a very legendary old man, even in the Central of China, there is no shortage of officials who admire this old man, because he is really a living legend. When he was young, he took over the power of the family, used decades to stabilize the situation of Tong Haixing, and cultivated a successor Zhao Daizong who was no less than his own.

Yet at this moment. Zhao Zhiru was like an ordinary gentle old man, nodding to his son with a smile. Then whispered, "Well done." ”

Zhao Daizong's face was still tight, but he quickened his pace and walked to his father's side. Supporting him with strong arms - although Zhao Zhiru was physically strong and did not need it, he still accepted his son's kindness wordlessly.

"I already know what happened on Gunkan Island, and it is not a crime of war. You've handled it well. ”

Zhao Daizong frowned, not knowing why his father was talking to him about this.

In the past few years, with his rich experience and gradually getting old, Zhao Zhiru has transferred most of the power to him. And I rarely comment on what I do, and occasionally I make a few adjustments, and they are all aimed at major strategic projects. The competition on Gunkan Island is not yet worthy of the old man's mouth.

"Over the years, you have become more and more mature, and many times you have done better than I expected. So I think it's time to officially give up the position. ”

Zhao Daizong was shocked when he heard this, and looked at his father with some surprise.

The transfer of power has indeed been decided a long time ago, and even he has more power in his hands than Zhao Zhiru. But these powers were all transferred to him by Zhao Zhiru, and in short, they are like renting, and they may be recovered at any time...... However, if Zhao Zhiru really gave up his position, it would mean that he would completely retire. There is no possibility of a resurgence, this step is inevitable, but the process should not be so fast! No matter how harmonious their father-son relationship is. But it's also about the dominion of a planet, since ancient times. There are countless father-son relatives who have been crushed by the imperial power, and Zhao Zhiru is a hero. How is it possible to hand over authority so easily?!

After thinking about it, I only heard Zhao Zhiru say again: "Daizong, over the years, you have been the actual head of the Zhao family, how do you feel?"

Zhao Daizong thought about it, and did not answer anything conscientious and walking on thin ice like other people in power, but said with deep feelings: "The power is in hand, and I can't stop it." ”

Zhao Zhiru said with a smile: "Well said, it is precisely because you can't stop it, the rule of the Zhao family is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." Only, have you ever considered how we can rule this planet and become the leader of hundreds of millions of people?"

Zhao Daizong thought about it again and replied: "It is the hearts of the people, the Zhao family wins the world, and it depends on the people's hearts." ”

Seeing that his father did not respond, Zhao Daizong paused for a moment, and said: "Then, maintaining the rule relies on inertia, when everyone is accustomed to the rule of the Zhao family and is used to living under the shadow of the Zhao family, even if the people's hearts are scattered, it doesn't matter. ”

Zhao Zhiru still didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"In the end, it is force that sustains this inertia. Zhao Daizong's voice gradually became colder, "Any attempt to change the inertia will be eliminated with absolute strength, so that the rule of the Zhao family can be truly stable." ”

"Very good!" Zhao Zhiru finally nodded, "Force is the key to everything, I am very relieved, you have not been blinded by the peace of these decades, and you have always been able to grasp the core of the problem." You woo the Yue family at any cost, it's also out of this consideration, right?"

Zhao Daizong nodded, the marriage with the Yue family is the most proud design he has been in all these years, Yue Xinyao is extremely talented, has a bright future, is almost a locked five-star super soldier, has unlimited potential, anyone can see it, so why can the Zhao family bring Yue Xinyao over?

Is it obviously not enough to invest in Yue Fengyun during the Sirius War? Obviously not enough-because to a certain extent, once Yue Xinyao is promoted to the fifth star, her value is even higher than Yue Fengyun's, so why should she be at the mercy of others?

Therefore, Zhao Daizong actually put forward a very good condition for Yue Xinyao: to marry Zhao Tianhua.

There is no doubt that Zhao Tianhua is an out-and-out waste - compared to Yue Xinyao. But compared to those young talents, a gentleman is actually more suitable as a marriage object. Because he is incompetent, he will not have too much ambition, and he will not have any strong capital, so it is easy to get along with such a person, and he will not have extraneous branches. Moreover, in the case of extremely clear strength and weakness, the Yue family can take this opportunity to swallow the resources of the Zhao family and strengthen itself, which is a temptation that is difficult to resist.

And Zhao Daizong didn't care about the Yue family sucking the blood of the Zhao family, because the Yue family was not a century-old wealthy family with deep roots after all, and excessive blood sucking was conducive to the integration of the two families. As in antiquity, nomadic civilizations conquered agrarian civilizations, but were assimilated by them.

At present, Yue Xinyao has enjoyed the convenience of marriage with peace of mind, and she has begun to mobilize a large number of resources from the Zhao family, and she will quickly become strong with those additional rare elements, which is an excellent trend. Next, as long as she and Zhao Tianhua give birth to a son and a half daughter, Zhao Daizong will give full support to the throne from generation to generation, and the marriage between Zhao Yue and the two families will be unbreakable.

Regarding Zhao Daizong's proud handwriting, Zhao Zhiru just sighed lightly: "Daizong, for the sake of Tianhua, you really took great pains." ”

Zhao Daizong's expression suddenly converged a little.

That's right, this marriage...... Of course, it's not just for the family. For his spoiled and abolished son, being able to climb to the daughter of the Yue family is his greatest guarantee in the future. And this is also an insurance left by Zhao Daizong, a father, to his son.

"It's a pity that Tianhua has never been able to understand your hard work, and you have spent too little energy on him, even if he almost caused a great disaster, you don't even know anything. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Daizong's face changed: "What's wrong with Tianhua!?"

Zhao Zhiru smiled, reached out and took out a transparent plastic bag from the inner pocket of his windbreaker, which contained a layer of fine gray crumbs.

"This is a rare element that Tianhua gave to Yue Xinyao, you can see for yourself. ”

Zhao Daizong carefully opened the plastic bag, picked some with his fingernails, and at the same time opened the placket of his shirt with his other hand to expose his chest, and then dotted the crumbs on his chest, and the crumbs disappeared as if they had melted.

After a while, Zhao Daizong's face changed color, his body shook, and at the same time, he was angry.

"Zhao Tianhua, this damn brute!"

Zhao Zhiru didn't blame him too much, but patted Zhao Daizong's shoulder: "You should know that Tianhua alone can't do this kind of thing." ”

Zhao Daizong nodded silently.

That's right, although Zhao Tianhua is a shitty waste, he categorically has no such means, and ...... Those things mixed with rare elements are not something that Zhao Tianhua can get.

Someone must have been behind the instigation of this, and that person ...... It's also clear at a glance.

"So...... Did you just come to Ruhui Island?" Zhao Daizong's voice was already a little dry when he spoke, "Have you already disposed of her?"

"That's your business, naturally you'll handle it yourself. Zhao Zhiru said, "When you go to Ruhui Island, there is another thing, that child named Wang Ye has some fate with me, and remember to avoid him when you do things later." That kid is not simple. ”

Zhao Daizong was a little surprised, if it wasn't for his father mentioning it, in fact, he hadn't paid much attention to the sniper named Wang Ye. Although his performance in the battle of Gunkanjima was amazing, after all, he was just an ordinary human without roots.

Unexpectedly, my father actually came to Ruhui Island for him!

Zhao Daizong opened his mouth, wanting to ask what fate he had between him and Wang Ye, but when he thought about it, he remembered the woman who almost caused a catastrophe, and he was upset for a while.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, and I'll do the rest. Don't forget that the family still needs you. Zhao Zhiru patted his son's hand and turned to leave.

Zhao Daizong was full of bitterness, and he didn't know what to do.

Your own business, handle it yourself?

Zhao Zhiru has never been such a soft-hearted person, he came today, in fact, the meaning has been expressed very clearly.

If you want to inherit the position of the head of the family, you should dispose of it.

If you want to live up to this family, you should dispose of what should be dealt with.

Yes, it should have been disposed of a long time ago, more than thirty years ago...... Procrastination to this day is just to make trouble for yourself and add to your distress.

It's just that thinking of the proud phoenix-like figure in his memory, Zhao Daizong couldn't help but feel heartache.
