Zhao Ming: "My father was the first to refuse, and the other clan elders were also very dissatisfied with him. ”

With Zhao Song taking the lead, the other clan elders will definitely firmly follow and oppose it, and it is impossible for Zhao Ji to be the patriarch.

If Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Erlang have no interest and need to snort in the Yang clan, except for the fifth uncle and ancestor of the clan, others may turn a blind eye to the mistakes Zhao Ji has made, even if they are uncomfortable, they will endure it;

But now Zhao Hanzhang is the most prominent descendant of the Zhao family, and even took Zhao Erlang to ascend to heaven, two days ago Zhao Erlang served as the county guard of Nanyang State, and the people in the clan had big mouths that could swallow an egg.

Therefore, they are afraid of Zhao Hanzhang's power, and the clan elders will also suppress Zhao Ji from being the patriarch, not to mention that they don't look down on him in the first place.

Zhao Ji can use means to compete with the big house for the title, and even suppress the big house, these are nothing in the eyes of the clan elders, but he should not discard Zhao Changyu's coffin and the heir of the big house.

With this fault alone, the clan elders could not let him inherit the position of patriarch.

As a patriarch, there is no filial piety and will to inherit the ancestors; Without the compassion and foresight to raise the heirs of the clan, the clan elders had to choose him as the patriarch.

The character of a patriarch determines the rise and fall of a family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hanzhang looked up at Zhao Ming, and tapped his knee lightly with his fingers, "Uncle Ming, do you also want Dalang to be the patriarch?" ”

Zhao Ming lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, took the wine jug and poured a glass of wine slowly, and said while drinking: "That's your eldest brother." ”

Zhao Hanzhang was silent.

Zhao Ming didn't need her to say anything, and continued: "You want to be the patriarch? That's much more difficult than wanting to be the assassin of Yuzhou, not to mention far away, even if my father loves you again, he won't agree. ”

Zhao Ming drank all the wine in the cup, put down the cup and looked at her, "I won't either." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "...... Uncle Ming misunderstood, I couldn't think about it before I thought about being the patriarch, Moreover, I am going to marry after all, Fu Tinghan and I are married, not married. ”

She leaned over, pressed her arm on the desk, looked at Zhao Ming with a smile and said in a low voice: "What I want to say is that the eldest brother is afraid that he will not be able to be the patriarch well, and he is far inferior to Uncle Ming, so the uncle ......"

"Hugh has to talk nonsense," Zhao Ming's face sank, and he said coldly: "The position of the patriarch is only passed on to the descendants, this is my Zhao family's ancestral training, and it must not be changed!" ”

"My uncle and my ancestors are in the same lineage, and they were also descendants at the beginning, but our branch is the elder, and we have always inherited the position of the head of the family, so we ......"

Zhao Ming looked at her seriously, "That was four generations ago, from you, not more, it happens to be the fifth generation, if you really count like this, then your seventh uncle ancestor will have to fight for the position of the patriarch." ”

Zhao Hanzhang shuddered when he thought of her dear seventh uncle ancestor, "The choice of patriarch should still be based on virtue......

"No, it should be the eldest child," Zhao Ming looked at her with a calm face, looked at her with deep eyes, and said: "Sanniang, if the position of the patriarch is determined by virtue, then every time the position of the patriarch needs to be changed in the future, I am afraid that the family will fall into endless infighting." The precepts of the ancestors are all summed up from blood and tears, and you must not disobey them. ”

Zhao Hanzhang didn't expect that the biggest resistance to promoting Zhao Ming as the patriarch did not come from the fifth uncle, but from Zhao Ming.

She sighed and bowed her head: "Okay, let's skip this matter first, I think my uncle must live a long life, and it's too early to talk about these at this time." ”

Zhao Ming pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Zhao Hanzhang herself didn't expect that one day she would pray with God that Zhao Zhongyu would live longer, she summed up her psychological activities, and couldn't help but complain to Fu Tinghan, "This is the tallest one among the short, alas, the second room is really not as good as the generation." ”

Fu Tinghan couldn't quite understand the insistence of this era, "Why does it have to be the elder, Uncle Ming is obviously more suitable to be the patriarch." ”

"Because of the words 'follow the rules'," Zhao Hanzhang said: "If you set a precedent from Zhao Ming, the side branches, or even the Shu branches, as long as you are not convinced by the patriarch, can provoke the patriarch according to this example and compete for the position of the patriarch." ”

She sighed, "I know there is a hidden danger, but ...... Zhao Ming is really too suitable to be the patriarch, now that Zhao Zhongyu is the patriarch, he has the clan in his heart, and he can still back down, but when Zhao Ji and Zhao Yi take the throne, with their hearts and intelligence, do you think we can get along in harmony? ”

Fu Tinghan is not familiar with those two people, and has only met a few times, but these few meetings are enough for Fu Tinghan to realize the other party's ability and temperament, plus Zhao Hanzhang has occasionally fought against them in the past two years, Fu Tinghan shook his head directly, "Most of them will die at your hands." ”

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said: "The children of other families can be killed, but if I kill the patriarch of the Zhao family, even if the clan will not turn against me, it will be difficult for our relationship to return to the past, but if I want to endure letting them be stupid and make trouble for me, it will not work." ”

"So the best way is to change the patriarch," Zhao Hanzhang sighed again, "Zhao Ming is really the most suitable person." ”

Fu Tinghan's handling of complex relationships is always inferior to Zhao Hanzhang, so it is difficult for him to give her advice on this matter, so he can only accompany her by doing arithmetic problems on the side.

Zhao Hanzhang held his chin and thought, the consequences of various choices had been extended in his mind to a hundred years later, if there was no more reasonable excuse, choosing Zhao Ming as the patriarch would indeed bring trouble to the Zhao family, especially the further back it was, the more serious it became.

For the present, it is good, but as a patriarch, you must not only think about the present, but also consider a hundred or even hundreds of years from now.

However, from Zhao Hanzhang's point of view, in fact, there is no need to be so worried, a hundred, a hundred years, or even a thousand years later, the clan has migrated several times, and it has long been divided into clans, and even in the end, the influence of the clan power has been minimized, and finally it has reached the point where it only hears the national law and does not know the clan law, and at that time, the impact of this matter on the clan inheritance will be reduced to the point of invisibility.

Even she was a little rebellious in her heart, thinking that what was wrong with letting Zhao Ming be the patriarch, there were already all kinds of battles in the inheritance of the clan, and now there was just one more choice of fighting.

Zhao Hanzhang was thinking of being rebellious, Zhao Ming came over with a good look, obviously he was not at peace in his heart, so he kept thinking about it, and finally came up with an excellent way for Zhao Hanzhang, "Say goodbye to Erlang, choose a smarter girl to marry him, give birth to a child as soon as possible, and you will raise it, if you are not free, give it to me." ”

"As long as the child is over eight years old, he can inherit the position of patriarch like Erlang."

Zhao Hanzhang: "...... Uncle Ming, Erlang is not yet thirteen years old. ”

This is simply destroying the flowers of the motherland.
