Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "When I first arrived in Yangzhou, I didn't know much about the situation of the Zhao family, and I couldn't build anything about the candidate for the head of the Zhao family...... By the way, I remember that when Zhao Deqing first came to the capital to see me, he was followed by a person named Zhao Deshun, who looked shrewd and calm, as if he still had fame, but he was a good candidate, what do you think of him as the head of the Zhao family? ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's advice, the expressions of several elders of the Zhao family were quite complicated, which seemed to be surprise and worry.

After a moment of silence, the elder of the Zhao family, who was the leader, said cautiously: "My lord, you really have eyes like a torch, to say that this Zhao Deshun is indeed a good candidate, and his ability and prestige are enough to serve as the head of the family...... It's just that you may not know that Zhao Deshun is Zhao Deqing's half-brother......"

Between the words of this elder of the Zhao family, although the meaning is still unfinished, the meaning is very clear - they also support Zhao Deshun as the head of the Zhao family, and even feel surprised by Zhao Junchen's construction, but at the same time, they are worried that once Zhao Junchen knows the relationship between Zhao Deshun and Zhao Deqing, Zhao Deshun will be implicated by Zhao Deqing and make Zhao Junchen change his mind.

However, the relationship between Zhao Deshun and Zhao Deqing is not a secret, and it can't be hidden from Zhao Junchen at all, and it will be exposed sooner or later, so although the elders of the Zhao family also hope that Zhao Deshun will be the head of the Zhao family, after hesitating for a moment, they still told Zhao Junchen the truth.

*

On the other hand, Zhao Junchen naturally understood the meaning of the words of this old man of the Zhao family.

In fact. There is no need for this Zhao family's elder to remind him of Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing's information. Zhao Junchen already knew the relationship between Zhao Deshun and Zhao Deqing.

During this period of time, between the ups and downs of the Huan Sea. Zhao Junchen's city government is getting deeper and deeper, and his methods are becoming more and more sophisticated, and some seemingly ordinary actions actually contain deep meaning and scheming.

And this time, the reason why Zhao Junchen would build yì Zhao Deshun to serve as the head of the Zhao family was not only the opinions of Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing, but also a secret temptation by Zhao Junchen.

You must know that the reason why Zhao Deqing lost the position of the head of the Zhao family today is that Zhao Junchen's attitude is just a cause. And the people who really contribute are the elders of the Zhao family in front of them, so that the attitude of the elders of the Zhao family towards Zhao Deshun is enough for Zhao Junchen to understand what Zhao Deshun's character is - if Zhao Deshun will be resentful because of Zhao Deqing's affairs, he will inevitably take revenge on these elders of the Zhao family after becoming the head of the family, and the elders of the Zhao family will never agree to Zhao Deshun as the head of the Zhao family for their own interests.

Now, after Zhao Junchen proposed to build yì, the elders of the Zhao family not only did not object. On the contrary, they subconsciously flashed joy, which is enough to show many things.

First of all, Zhao Deshun's qualifications, prestige and ability, etc., are indeed enough to serve as the head of the Zhao family. Otherwise, the elders of the Zhao family would not have expressed their support;

Secondly, Zhao Deshun should be a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and his conduct is also reassuring. Otherwise, the elders of the Zhao family will inevitably oppose it out of selfish interests and fear of Zhao Deshun's revenge.

At last. As Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing described, Zhao Deshun should be a person who is easy to be accused. Therefore, after Zhao Junchen mentioned that Zhao Deshun would be the head of the Zhao family, the elders of the Zhao family would be happy - this is probably because after Zhao Deshun became the head of the Zhao family, these elders of the Zhao family could gain more say within the clan.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen's seemingly ordinary sentence is a clear investigation of Zhao Deshun's personality.

*

Since Zhao Deshun's temperament is really good, which is consistent with Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing's descriptions, then Zhao Junchen is also relieved, and his support for Zhao Deshun is also sincere.

So, after hearing the temptation of this old man of the Zhao family, Zhao Junchen looked broad-minded and said with a smile: "Oh? Are Zhao Deshun and Zhao Deqing brothers? But it doesn't matter, Zhao Deqing has certainly made some mistakes, but now he has been punished and lost his position as the head of the family, in this case, why should we implicate Zhao Deshun? What's more, Zhao Deqing is Zhao Deqing, Zhao Deshun is Zhao Deqing, although they are brothers, they can't be confused, Zhao Deqing's mistake is only Zhao Deqing's alone, since Zhao Deshun is qualified and capable of serving as the head of the Zhao family, he can't deliberately suppress him because of Zhao Deqing. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, all the elders of the Zhao family were relieved, and the joy in their expressions became more obvious.

As if he was afraid that Zhao Junchen would suddenly change his mind, the elder of the Zhao family, who was the leader, said: "In this case, we will go back and recommend Zhao Deshun to the clansmen, I believe that with your support, Zhao Deshun will definitely become the head of the family." And my lord, your trust in Zhao Deshun, we will definitely explain it to Zhao Deshun in detail, and I believe he will be grateful to him. ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head with a smile: "The ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors has not yet been held, I am not a member of the Zhao family now, and the candidate for the head of the Zhao family still needs you Zhao family elders to discuss and decide, and my construction is just a construction after all." ”

After clearing up his relationship in this matter, Zhao Junchen said again: "However, if Zhao Deshun becomes the head of the Zhao family, let him come to see me, I have something to say to him." ”

Regarding Zhao Junchen's request, the elders of the Zhao family naturally hurriedly agreed.

In the eyes of the elders of the Zhao family, after Zhao Deshun became the head of the Zhao family, the first thing was to deepen the contact with Zhao Junchen and win the favor of Zhao Junchen, which was related to the fundamental interests of the Zhao family in Yangzhou.

*

In a way, the efficiency of the Zhao family in Yangzhou is still very fast.

Less than half an hour later, Zhao Junchen had already received the news, after the recommendation of the elders of the Zhao family, under the expectations of the public, Zhao Deshun had officially assumed the position of the head of the Zhao family.

Because Zhao Deshun is Zhao Deqing's younger brother, and his prestige and qualifications are sufficient, this change of head of the family did not cause much chaos in the Zhao family.

It's just that what Zhao Junchen didn't expect was that after the dust settled, the first person to visit Zhao Junchen was not the new head of the family, Zhao Deshun, but Zhao Deqing, who had just lost his position as the head of the family!
