is such a sentence, Zhang Xishui was a little shocked in his heart.

This is a blind spot in her thinking, and the reason is that the royal family is also one of the parties to suppression.

The reason why it was shocking was because she also thought of another possibility.

It's that the Lu family is powerful, and what they are most afraid of is not the past enemy like the Zhang family.

Rather, it is the royal family, the theoretical ruler of the Yan Kingdom.

The current one is more important than the predecessor, and it is clear which one is more important.

Of course, because of the relationship between his family, he naturally rejects the royal family.

Because the family is an interest group, they rule the entire Yan Kingdom with the royal family, because of power and human nature, the two are naturally enemies.

If you take refuge in the royal family, it is tantamount to cutting yourself off from the family group.

Zhang Xishui felt the chips that could be used.

Just use this bargaining chip to negotiate with others, to put it bluntly, it is to gamble on the identity of your own family.

In the past, the Zhang family was too soft and everyone could be bullied, so it declined, and tonight's incident fully proved that the Lu family is not attacking now, and it will definitely suppress the Zhang family even more in the future.

She had several ways in her head.

had a showdown with the Lu family and denounced it.

Negotiate with other families and put pressure on the Lu family.

Or cooperate directly with the royal family and stand on the opposite side of the family.

All sorts of ideas overflowed.

Thinking about the possibilities.

Zhang Ranru didn't wait for Zhang Xishui to speak, and said directly: "Virtuous nephew, my Zhang family is a family. ”

The virtuous nephew is still called because of Zhang Chaoqing's face.

If it was someone else, he would have slapped him a long time ago.

What kind of bad idea, can the crooked ass last long?

It's also that several people think differently.

Zhang Ranru has always thought that his family, coupled with all the glory of the past, can't get out of his thinking.

Even if the Zhang family has fallen to such a point, they still follow the old ways, and the past set is the bottom line.

It's not that it's bad to be old-fashioned, but it's a good character.

But times are different, and things are easy.

The Zhang family has fallen to this dog-like, and they still cling to the past, either the Zhang family is not miserable enough, or they still have their own heritage.

Anyway, Long Yun didn't say much more, because he knew that he couldn't convince the old man in front of him.

He is just an outsider, although he has received great favors, but the object of his gratitude is Zhang Xishui, not the Zhang family.

Even if he is a member of the Zhang family, he can't beat Zhang Chaoru.

Zhang Xishui said: "Thank you Brother Zhang for reminding me." ”

Hearing this means that Zhang Xishui also thinks Zhang Piaoling's idea is good?

Not really.

Zhang Chaoru glared at Zhang Xishui angrily, if it weren't for Zhang Chaoqing's presence, he would have wanted to scold directly.

Zhang Chaoqing hurriedly said: "Discussion, it's okay to listen to the thoughts of young people, let them talk about it, maybe they really have ideas better than our two old bones?" ”

When Zhang Ranru heard Zhang Chaoqing say this, he dissipated his anger: "Okay, I'll listen to your opinions." ”

Zhang Xishui said: "Ancestor, in fact, our Zhang family can try to take the Lu family's affairs and secretly form an alliance with some second-rate families, anyway, they don't understand it now, it is the Lu family who invaded my Zhang family tonight."

If the Lu family brazenly comes to ask for these people, the situation may be salvageable.

On the contrary, our Zhang family will have to bear the conspiracy of the Lu family alone.

Instead of looking at the Lu family's face, it is better for us to take the initiative and try our best to win over some second-rate families who do not have too many grievances with my Zhang family to form an alliance with each other.

Convincing them with the reason of cold lips and teeth is not a big problem, and it is impossible to say that other first-class families may also secretly support us. ”

This is from the perspective of the Zhang family itself, but it is a pity that the Zhang family has been away from the imperial court for too long and is not so sensitive to politics.

Zhang Xishui is a little girl, after taking over the power of the Zhang family, she is anxious to stabilize the family situation, tired of dealing with the pressure of various families outside, and returning to the Zhang family to deal with her own chaos within the Zhang family.

She didn't have time to figure out the impact of the overall situation of Yan Kingdom on the family.

So what other families can see, she can't see, this is the most suitable path for the Zhang family that she has come up with from Zhang Piaoling's idea.

However, it is not so easy to form an alliance with a family that has no grudges.

How arrogant the Zhang family was back then, how deep the damage to other families was.

Among them, Zhang Ranru is the clearest.

Moreover, Zhang Ranru's generation has always supported the backbone of the Zhang family, and at the same time, it also carries the glory and arrogance of the Zhang family.

How can some ants that I looked down on back then want to bend down and form an alliance with them now?

Even if it is an alliance, in Zhang Chaoru's consciousness, it should be a fairly important family, such as the Deng family, the Fan family, the Wen family and other first-class families.

That's why he can't come up with an idea of a point.

When Zhang Xishui came up with such an idea, he was even more angry in his heart.

But the Lu family is powerful, and it is even grander than the Zhang family back then.

Forty years of dominating the throne of the first family, and being able to restrain the clansmen without exposing more grievances, this is a very big blow to the older generation.

Even if they agree with the Lu family first, they will definitely not be soft in their mouths, this is their last fig leaf.

Zhang Xishui's idea now is to completely tear off this fig leaf, and even bend down to form an alliance with the people they regarded as ants back then, which is too difficult.

Zhang Ranru didn't speak, he was still thinking about whether there was a better way.

Zhang Xishui said to Long Yun: "Brother Piaoling, what do you think?" ”

Although Long Yun had lost his experience in the barbarian country, it did not hinder his insight.

In his previous life, he had already formed his own worldview, but in fact, whether he had experience in a barbarian country or not did not affect his analysis and judgment of the situation.

He said: "I always thought that whether it was a family or a royal family, it was actually a collusion of interests, but I didn't expect that there were still people with rigid rules."

In my opinion, instead of uniting with some cowards (second-rate families), it is better to unite directly with the most powerful one.

I don't know how the Zhang family was in the past, and the most important thing now is how to survive the blow of the Lu family of the Zhang family.

The seniors would never think that the Lu family would let the Zhang family go, right?

If I were the Lu family, I would win over other families and promise other families that as long as the Zhang family perished, the interests belonging to the Zhang family would not be taken, and the Lu family would not have to do it themselves, and the Zhang family would be squeezed to death.

Besides, I don't think that the Zhang family is in such a difficult situation, and that so-called alliance will be strong.

If the benefits are sufficient, then the eyes of the person will be blinded.

I don't know what the Zhang family is still trying to insist on at such a critical moment.

The younger generation used to be in the history books, which recorded that 'Yi Zi eats', and anything will seem insignificant in the face of survival.

The Zhang family is already like this, haven't the predecessors reflected? Those past rules are the shackles that have contributed to the fall of the Zhang family, there is no room for struggle, the face is not given by the glory of the past and rigid rules, it is to be fought for by themselves, the younger generation believes that as long as the Zhang family is strong and has a small face, even if it is lost, it will be picked up by the Zhang family. ”

After hearing these words, Zhang Chaoru's heart was shattered, and he seemed to live up to that high fighting spirit.

Zhang Xishui was also frightened by Long Yun's words.

She has always believed that the glory of the family should be maintained, and the face must also be maintained, and people should have a sense of shame.

As a result, Long Yun's words were no less than reshaping a three-view for her.

Especially about the discussion of face: even if you lose it, if it is strong enough to a certain extent, people will help pick it up and bring it for yourself.

How powerful it must be to be able to do this.

At the same time, it is also to tear some things apart and put them in front of her.
