   Chapter 129 Honesty

Seeing her surprise, Zhao Ming continued: "You chose to go back to your hometown, I guessed it, but I didn't expect you to choose to live in Shangcai. Since you have the ability to be self-reliant in Shangcai, why did you bring Fu Tinghan back to your hometown? What about the unfamiliar Runan? Luoyang, even Chang'an, anywhere."

Zhao Ming looked at her and said: "The war is just an excuse. With your ability, you should be able to see that the imperial court's departure from Luoyang is only temporary. You follow the army, and with the prestige of the Zhao family and the current power of the patriarch, what you get The glory will not be less than it is now, and Fu Zhongshu is also in the army."

   Zhao Ming didn't think of this before because he didn't know enough about Zhao Hanzhang, but after yesterday, he realized that his niece was smarter and more powerful than he thought, so he had to think about it.

"So I guess, what do you want to do with the help of the Zhao clan," Zhao Ming said: "And since you returned home, the prestige of the patriarch's family in the clan gradually decreased, and although you were in Shangcai, you slowly took over your grandfather. Prestige in the clan. Sanniang, your uncle's family used to treat you like that, didn't you think of revenge?"

   Zhao Hanzhang was silent for a moment and then smiled brightly at Zhao Ming. She said, "Someone did deliberately lead Erlang out of the city. I also remember this enemy, but I know that this enemy is not my uncle and uncle."

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said, "Although I am injured, fortunately I am not dead. I will not become a deadly enemy with them. Moreover, I was taught by my grandfather since I was a child. Will disregard family interests for personal grievances."

   "Uncle's worry is not my original intention."

   Zhao Ming looked at her seriously, and Zhao Hanzhang also looked back at him seriously, "As for the prestige of the uncle's family," she smiled and said, "Shouldn't I ask my uncle and uncle about this?"

   Zhao Ming did not speak.

   "Although the position of the patriarch has always been held by our direct branch, there are many people in the clan and the affairs are complicated. Managing clan affairs is like running a country.

"If the royal family can't win the hearts and minds of the people, it will not be far from the collapse of the country." Zhao Ming said: "Similarly, if the patriarch cannot make the clan unite, the Zhao clan will also be in danger. In such a chaotic world, it is difficult for the clan to survive forever. If the hearts are scattered again, I am afraid that the disaster of annihilation will be in front of you."

   "I have the same opinion as my uncle," Zhao Hanzhang said: "But, even if I leave Xiping, or even leave Shangcai, will my uncle be able to control Zhao's family and make him unite?"

   "Will the fifth uncle truly believe in the uncle? And the seventh uncle, can they fully trust the uncle?" Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Can the uncle really protect the Zhao family?"

   Zhao Ming was silent.

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "Uncle, you only saw my threat to my uncle, but you didn't see the threat of the situation in the world to the Zhao family, or in other words, the threat of the situation in the world to everyone in the world."

"The disaster of the siege yesterday will happen again in the future, and it will even be more serious. Can the Zhao family survive such chaos?" Zhao Hanzhang asked him, "If not, what else is there to talk about the prestige dispute between me and my uncle? mean?"

   Zhao Ming was stopped by her question, and he was shocked. He just followed her question and thought about it, and he thought of something incredible.

   "You..." Zhao Ming paused for a while, before finding the right words to ask her, "Then how do you want to protect the Zhao family?"

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at Xiping County Office.

   Zhao Ming also looked over, and immediately said: "The patriarch's family is still in Luoyang. Our Zhao family is also loyal and righteous, and we must not rebel."

   Zhao Hanzhang: "...Who said I was going to rebel?"

   She's not stupid, so at this time of rebellion, not to mention the Xiongnu, the King of the East Sea was the first to not tolerate her, and anyone who claimed to be the teacher of justice could kill her.

   How unthinkable did she put herself in such danger?

   She said: "Uncle, when outsiders talk about Xiping, they will think of our Zhao clan. Even in the entire Runan County, our Zhao clan is one of the best."

"What is a relationship of solidarity? It is the death of Xiping, our Zhao family has no foundation, our Zhao family is gone, and Xiping has no support," Zhao Hanzhang said: "You have also seen the trouble of Xiping today, Xiping is in danger, and the imperial court is If we can't save it, we can only save ourselves."

   "So I think we need to develop Xiping well. As long as Xiping is strong enough, then our Zhao family will not be isolated and helpless even if we encounter dangers like yesterday.

   Zhao Ming: "Do you want to separate Xiping?"

No, she wanted to separate Runan County, but it seemed that her ambition was too big, so she said: "How can it be considered separate? We are still loyal to the Jin family, but if Xiping is managed by our Zhao family, it will be better than another stranger. The county magistrate must be strong, and when it develops, it is also possible to protect Zhao's Wubao."

  The separatist regime, Zhao Ming is no stranger to it. In this era, are there still few places where the rich and wealthy families are separatist?

   Zhao Ming was extremely entangled, and his mind was divided into two people. One thought that what Zhao Hanzhang said was right, and the other realized that Zhao Hanzhang's purpose was not so simple.

  Then the question is, Zhao Hanzhang pulled the boat over to him, did he jump on the boat or kick it away?

   Boarding the ship not only meant that the Zhao clan had to take a different path from what he had planned before, but he also naturally stood on Zhao Hanzhang's side and was on the opposite side of the patriarch.

   This is something he has always been taboo about.

   Pedal the boat away...

   Zhao Ming glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, intellectually, he agrees with Zhao Hanzhang's point of view, emotionally, he also trusts Zhao Hanzhang's ability and knowledge more.

   Obviously he came to ask Zhao Hanzhang, why was he embarrassed by her in the end?

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't rush him, but just told him about the situation in the county, "The Song family and the Chen family were both seriously damaged, Song Erlang died, and I heard that a lot of clan members were killed."

  The Song family and the Chen family are two big families in Xiping County. Of course, they can't compare with the Zhao family.

   But the three families are also relatives by marriage. There was a clan in Zhao's Wubao who married the daughters of the two families. Zhao Ming frowned when he heard that the two families lost so much.

   "But the two of them were pretty good. Because they escaped in time, most of their families were preserved, and other middle-income families in the city were almost wiped out."

   They did not have enough family members to protect themselves, and they had surplus money at home, so they naturally became the focus of looting by the chaotic army.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "People with a little wealth have such a hard life in this world, let alone ordinary people. Uncle, I studied under my grandfather's knees since I was a child. I have always believed that the people are the foundation of the country, and we have the ability to protect When you have one, you will protect the other, and if you have the ability to protect the people of a county, you will naturally protect the people of a county, what do you think?"

  The balance in Zhao Ming's heart was completely skewed.
