"It seems that you have figured it out. The Zhao family did not develop and grow step by step on its own, but made use of many small families to form an interest alliance. In the end, the interests of this alliance became the interests of their Zhao family.
, this is the subsequent development of the Zhao family. As you said, with a master like the Long family, the rise of the Zhao family is inevitable, and of course some unconventional means were used. This is also the power of the Zhao family. In fact,
The reason why it has always been bigger than the Song and Li families. In other words, the power of the Zhao family is actually a powerful combination of several small forces. Once the leader of the Zhao family is gone, or it can threaten
Their people are gone, and when they no longer have to follow others to be dogs, they will become their own masters. Therefore, the existence of the Zhao family has no substantial impact on the Song and Li families.
The ones who benefited the most were actually the small forces that were originally attached to the Zhao family. However, after the fall of the Zhao family, these forces immediately gathered together in small groups and were re-divided into two major groups and several groups.
A small group." Li Lingyun nodded slowly and explained.
"So that's it. It seems that this group of people is not willing to be lonely. They are planning to replace the Zhao family's position in the capital after the fall of the Zhao family?" Zhuo Yifan finally nodded in realization.
"That's right. Although the power of those two groups is not as strong as that of the Song and Li families, they have become the other two big families in the capital. After the Zhao family was destroyed, the capital changed from the original tripartite to what it is now.
"A hundred schools of thought contend. The original three major families have become four major families and even developed into five major families!" Li Lingyun nodded helplessly and explained.
"So the capital has become more lively?" Zhuo Yifan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"It should be said that the trend of forming gangs is getting more and more serious. Many families want to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly absorb vassals from other families and then replace the Zhao family. Even if they cannot become the second Zhao family, they can
To become a family that can be ranked high in the capital, I am afraid that in the future, the families in Beijing will not just be the three major aristocratic families." Li Lingyun explained.
"Is this a threat to the Song and Li families? No matter how much trouble those small families make, after all, the Song and Li families are the real power in the central government. Who dares to challenge these two families? By then, they will really become the second largest family.
It’s the Zhao family!” Zhuo Yifan said disapprovingly.
"That's true. But after the fall of the Zhao family, many positions within the central government were vacant. And most of these positions, the Song and Li families cannot get them. Everyone will worry that our power is too strong.
, will reach an uncontrollable point in the end. Therefore, the positions vacated by the Zhao family have been basically replaced by politicians from these families. Moreover, these families originally had a certain strength in the court, and they developed very quickly.
Quick. It can be said that while you destroyed the Zhao family, you also indirectly helped them! Just kidding, if they have a conscience, they would have to thank you, Mr. Zhuo, for giving them this opportunity to turn around.
Yes!" Li Lingyun explained with a smile.
"I don't want to deal with this group of people. As long as they live in peace and don't mess around," Zhuo Yifan said, shaking his head disapprovingly.
