1803
War …
War!
Xu Taiping picked up his phone and checked the conflicts around the world in the past year. War.
Suddenly, Xu Taiping realized that in the last year, there had been more than 20 subversive regimes in the world!
Most of the subverted regimes were small, obscure countries, but there were also some that were in the middle of the world.
These countries were all heavily armed and subverted, just like the countries he had encountered in Sinia.
These countries that had been disarmed were scattered across all continents. Moreover, there were at least seven or eight countries that were still in the midst of war.
Because they were all from small countries, not many people paid attention to these matters. Even some domestic news had never reported on the news of these countries being overturned. For the domestic media, some countries were not even as big as a city in China.
Xu Taiping flipped through the list of countries and memorized their names.
The people of the Zhao Family around Xu Taiping looked at him in surprise.
Today, they were here to impeach Zhao Taiji, this was a very serious matter. Such a serious matter, Xu Taiping was actually playing on his phone, was this not a mistake?
Was the position of the head of the Zhao Family not attractive enough, or was Xu Taiping's heart too big?
About half an hour later.
Zhao Taiji and Zhao Yinglong walked in from outside the ancestral house.
"Why are there so many people?" Zhao Taiji asked with a smile.
"Patriarch …"
"Patriarch!"
Everyone in the Zhao Family stood up to greet Zhao Taiji. Although the Zhao Family's situation was not good, Zhao Taiji was still the head of the Zhao Family. Before Zhao Taiji was impeached, everyone had to show some respect to him.
"Taiji!" Zhao Taiheng sat on the chair and said.
"Big brother." Zhao Taiji walked to Zhao Taiheng's side, pulled a chair over and sat down, then said, "Big brother, why are you so free to come back so early in the morning?"
From start to finish, Zhao Taiji did not even look at Xu Taiping, nor did he speak to him.
"I naturally have matters to attend to when I return." Zhao Taiheng said.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Taiji smiled. He looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Is it because of this person?"
"Taiji, you should know the situation of our Zhao Family, right?" Zhao Taiheng said.
"Yes, recently our Zhao Family has been attacked by an enemy. It's not going well." Zhao Taiji said.
"In my opinion, the current situation of the Zhao Family is due to external enemies. However, it also has its own reasons." Zhao Taiheng said.
"Oh? The Zhao Family's own reason? "What's the reason?" Zhao Taiji asked.
"Right now, you should rarely manage the affairs of the Zhao Family, right?" Zhao Taiheng asked.
"Not much." Zhao Taiji said, "After so many years, the Zhao Family has its own management system. When father was here, he was like this. The main thing is to leave it to the butler. "
"At that time, the Zhao family did not encounter such a situation, so naturally, everything could be handed over to the butler. And now, with the Zhao family surrounded by external enemies, suffering an unprecedented attack, you, as the master, should have shouldered the responsibility of managing a family, but you didn't. In my and my family's eyes, you, the master, were incompetent!" Zhao Taiheng said.
"Is that so? I never thought that my actions would make big brother and all of your families unhappy. Since that's the case, then I'll just worry more about the Zhao Family's matters in the future. " Zhao Taiji said.
"Tai Chi, I have something to ask you." Zhao Taiheng said.
"Big Brother, please speak." Zhao Taiji said.
One year ago, why did you try to fake the identity of the heir to the Zhao Clan, and strip Xu Taiping of his identity? Zhao Taiheng asked.
"Counterfeit? I'm not lying! " Zhao Taiji shook his head in surprise.
"It's not fake? Just this morning, I had already compared Xu Taiping's blood sample with my blood sample. The appraisal result shows that Xu Taiping really does have my Zhao Family's bloodline. Zhao Taiheng asked.
"That's impossible, right? I also took Xu Taiping's blood sample to do the blood test, but the result is that he's not a member of my Zhao Family. Why is he a member of the Zhao Family here? Could it be … Brother, you and me … Not a family?! " Zhao Taiji asked in surprise.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Zhao Taiheng frowned and said, "You and I are brothers, how can we not be family?"
"Then I don't understand!" Zhao Taiji shrugged, then smiled, "Maybe something went wrong with the appraisal process, but since Big Bro said Xu Taiping is from our Zhao Family, then he must be from the Zhao Family. I'll get someone to write him down in our family tree."
"Taiji, are you playing dumb with me?" Zhao Taiheng looked at Zhao Taiji and said, "You and I both know how strict the bloodline identification procedures are, so unless someone is lying, the results can't be wrong. Taiji, I want you to tell me honestly, why don't you want Xu Taiping to return to our Zhao Family?" Why did he have to fake it? You can't deny it, we have been brothers for so many years, and you lying to me, I can tell at a glance. "
"Big Bro's eyesight is still as good as ever." Zhao Taiji smiled, then looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Since Big Brother already said that, then I won't explain anymore. As for why I don't want Xu Taiping to go back to the Zhao Family … Elder brother, think about it. One year ago, what identity did this Xu Taiping have? In the end, in order to draw a clear line between us and the martial arts world, we gave him the golden flag. From now on, the martial arts world no longer has any golden flags, and we also drew a clear line with the martial arts world. If we let Xu Taiping return to the Zhao Family a year ago, what would we do about his status as a martial artist? It wasn't easy for us to draw a clear line between ourselves and the martial arts world. What if because of Xu Taiping we let everyone guess what was going to happen? Brother, tell me, what should I do? That year, in order to protect the Zhao Family, we even gave up the golden flag. This led the Central Committee to believe that we had completely withdrawn from the martial arts world.
Zhao Taiji's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.
The reason why the Zhao Family had given up the golden flag back then was naturally not because of some noble character.
There was only one truth in the world, and that was that when things reached the extreme, they would reverse.
In terms of economy, the Zhao Family had already become the number one economy in China, reaching out to all walks of life. In terms of fame, the Zhao Family was the capital family of heaven, standing above the four great clans of the capital, in terms of diplomacy, the Zhao Family had allies all over the world, and in the martial arts world, the Zhao Family ruled over the entire Jianghu of China. Such a family like the Zhao Family had already aroused the fears of the entire central government, and on this continent, once you made the central government fear you, the final result was only to be safe and sound.
Zhao Taiji's words were quite reasonable. The Zhao Family was able to remain aloof because the Zhao Family and the martial arts world were clearly separated. If Xu Taiping returned to the Zhao Family, then Xu Taiping's martial world would be incorporated into the Zhao Family.
"Third brother, you're wrong about one thing." Zhao Taiheng said.
"What is it?" Zhao Taiji asked.
The Zhao Family will not abandon anyone who possesses the bloodline of the Zhao Family because of any external reasons. This is a rule set down by the ancestors back then, we gave up the golden flag, not because we are afraid of the central government, but because we do not want to make things difficult for the central government, our Zhao Family has never been afraid of anyone, nor because we will compromise because of anyone. No matter what, only if we want to do it, there is no problem that we do not dare to do it. Zhao Taiheng said with a serious expression.
"But is the current Zhao family the old Zhao family? "The Zhao Family used to have some confidence in the past, but what about now?" Zhao Taiji asked.
"Regardless of whether you have confidence or not, our Zhao Family's rules will never change … Taiji, when second brother died, father died. Before he passed away, he handed over the Zhao Family to you because he felt that with your ability, you were able to lead the Zhao Family forward. Every day, you would be obsessed with your own matters, and you would not care about the matters of the Zhao Family. What had become of the Zhao Family? "Some people gambled openly, some people took the public funds, some people sold things of our Zhao Family, and some people used the name of our Zhao Family to deceive others. When Father was here, when did any of this ever happen?" Zhao Taiheng asked with a deep tone.
"Big Brother, why haven't I heard of the things you've said? Public gambling? Privately swallowing public funds? Is this happening in our Zhao Family? " Zhao Taiji looked to Zhao Yinglong and asked, "Yinglong, tell me, did these things happen in the Zhao Family?"
"Nope." Zhao Yinglong shook his head and said, "Now, all of the Zhao Family members are united around the Patriarch. We will work hard to get through this crisis."
Eldest brother, as you can see, Ying Long also said, this is not something that happened. Elder brother, our Zhao Family is facing an unprecedented crisis, those people who want the Rothschild Family's treasury have joined hands to deal with us, their economy is over a trillion, their power is spread all over the world, and right now we are using a single force to fight against the elites of the entire world. In this kind of situation, it is hard to avoid people who would take advantage of this situation and say that the internal workings of the Zhao Family are lacking. Zhao Taiji clenched his fists and said excitedly.
