The sixth son of the Zhao family was speechless. Everyone present was speechless. This was completely different from what they had imagined.
Shouldn't the Second Master not ask who was in the right or wrong? Shouldn't he suppress the little bastard first? Why was the little bastard still fine?
Why did he ask who was in the right or wrong?
Not to mention the Zhao family, even the consecrators were puzzled. In the past, the Zhao family had always prioritized their own interests.
They had to consider the Zhao family first. Whether you were from the Zhao family, a side branch, or a consecrator, once you entered the Zhao family, you had to consider the interests of the Zhao family.
What rules and what was right and wrong? In the eyes of the Zhao family, they were just hypocrisy. Only interests mattered.
But now, the Second Master of the Zhao family was acting out of character. He actually asked who was in the wrong and who was in the wrong. How could the people present refute this?
"But … But … But …" The sixth son of the Zhao family couldn't figure out what the Second Master of the Zhao family wanted.
"But what?" Zhao Mingcong said, "The Zhao family's rules are not rules? So you can accuse an innocent person? "
"Innocent!!!" The people present were angry, but they didn't dare to say anything. Was Zhao E 'lai innocent?
He wasn't innocent at all. He had killed more than ten young masters of the Zhao family and did whatever he wanted. How was he innocent?
"Do you think he's not innocent?"
Zhao Mingcong said, "In your eyes, he's not innocent. It's just because he was born in a brothel, because he's an illegitimate child, and because his status is low. So, his life is like grass that you can trample on. What he did was right, and what he did was wrong. Since he did something wrong, he should be cut into pieces?"
Everyone was speechless. Even Zhao Buqu, Zhao Mingcong's biological daughter, felt that her father was completely different from before.
But the sixth son of the Zhao family was not convinced. Most of the people in the Zhao family were not convinced. Wasn't it like what you said?
Wasn't the Zhao family a small world where the strong preyed on the weak and the strong were respected? Could it be that you, the second master of the Zhao family, want to destroy this small world of order?
They felt that it was impossible. This was the foundation of the Zhao family. If they broke the rules, how could the Zhao family continue to survive?
Many people thought that the foundation of power was power. It was to be in a high position and to be able to do whatever one wanted!
However, the Zhao family was very clear that the foundation of power was not strength, nor was it a high position. Power came from how many people listened to you and how many benefits you could give them.
Only stable interests could form the cornerstone of power. The second master of the Zhao family should understand this principle better than anyone else.
Even if he was the Renhuang, as a supreme cultivator, the true cornerstone of the Human Clan, if he wanted the Human Clan to prosper, if he wanted the Human Clan to be maintained, and if he wanted someone to call him the Human Emperor, he could not do as he pleased.
He could only distribute the benefits to a small number of people, and let the small number of people distribute the benefits to a small number of people, and then rule over even more people.
Humans could exist alone, but the human race couldn't!
Therefore, even the Human Emperor couldn't do as he pleased. He had to balance the various forces under his command. He couldn't just destroy any force he wanted.
The five major forces of the Dragon Realm and hundreds of first-class forces had countless intertwined relationships under them. Pulling one hair could affect the whole body.
If the Human Clan was unstable internally, it would inevitably be invaded by foreign tribes. What the Human Emperor considered was often the stability of the Human Clan and how not to be invaded by foreign tribes.
Therefore, balance was more important to the Human Emperor than being aggressive. Anything aggressive had a huge risk.
Not to mention the Dragon Realm, the Southern Land, the Eastern Land, the Western Land, and the Northern Land!
These were all things that the Human Emperor needed to balance. Ye Tianze had caused such a big commotion in the Southern Land. The Three Sects and Seven Schools, and the Five Aristocratic Families had openly tried to assassinate Zhu Que, but the Human Emperor couldn't destroy the Three Sects and Seven Schools, nor could he destroy the Five Aristocratic Families!
The reason was that the Human Emperor had to rely on them to maintain the rule of the Southern Land. He had to let them maintain the stability of the Southern Land. Only then could he truly prevent the Monster Clan from reaching for a yard after taking an inch.
What Ye Tianze had done was just a big stone falling on the surface of the lake, causing a big wave. But the wave would subside sooner or later.
Without the loyalty of the Three Sects and Seven Schools, and without the support of the Five Aristocratic Families, the Human Emperor was no longer the Human Emperor in the Southern Land!
It was the same for the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family was now at the height of their power, everyone knew that the Zhao family maintained the foundation of their current status.
The Human Emperor would fall sooner or later. Diva would lose power sooner or later. At that time, the Zhao family would be nothing!
The only thing that could maintain the Zhao family's status was a stable foundation. Unless the Zhao family could have another Diva when the next Human Emperor appeared.
Otherwise, what awaited the Zhao family would be fragmented. Everyone that they offended would rush over and bite the Zhao family!
Even if they weren't enemies, as long as the meat on the Zhao family was fat enough, they would still come over and take a bite!
Now, what Zhao Mingcong was doing was destroying the foundation of the Zhao family's strength!
Without this foundation, the Zhao family wouldn't be able to establish themselves in the future. Even if "E 'Lai" displayed incredible talent, no one believed that he could become the Human Emperor.
And if he couldn't become the Human Emperor, he couldn't change the fate of the Zhao family. The only thing that could change the fate of the Zhao family wasn't a single person. Instead, it was accumulating a terrifying foundation while the Zhao family was in power.
With this foundation, they would be able to deal with the storm that they might face in the future.
How could Zhao Mingcong not know this? But he had to do this because he could see that Ye Tianze's talent gave him the foundation to become the next Human Emperor.
What he saw wasn't an illegitimate child of the Zhao family, nor was it a lowly ant from a brothel.
What he saw was a monster that had his cultivation sealed and his physical body weakened, but was still doing well in the Zhao family. Zhao Mingcong had no choice but to come out and clean up his mess!
And what were these people in front of him, who were maintaining the interests of the Zhao family, doing? They couldn't even deal with an illegitimate child from a brothel.
This made Zhao Mingcong deeply understand the weakness of the Zhao family. This was also the reason why he was furious and angry.
If there was a member of the Zhao family who could stand up today and torture Ye Tianze, his choice would definitely be different!
Unfortunately, there wasn't. Those who were stronger than him only cared about their own interests. Those who were weaker than him were all cut down by Ye Tianze's sword!
How could he expect such a group of people to be able to support the Zhao family when the Zhao family was in danger?
Zhao Mingcong felt a deep sense of loss. At this moment, he even felt grateful to Ye Tianze. This was because Ye Tianze let him know the true weakness of the Zhao family.
Without Diva and the two brothers, the Zhao family was like a sheet of loose sand. No matter how many consecrators they bribed, no matter how much territory they expanded, it was all just a passing cloud.
Although they didn't understand why the Second Master of the Zhao family would defend Ye Tianze, they knew that the Second Master of the Zhao family would definitely protect Ye Tianze. No one dared to provoke the Second Master of the Second Master of the Zhao family.
However, this was also what angered Zhao Mingcong the most. He glanced at the crowd and said coldly, "You bunch of idiots. You don't even dare to question my words. What's the use of keeping you around? Shouldn't you be maintaining your foundation?"
Everyone was in a daze. They thought that Zhao Mingcong's brain had short-circuited and that he would recover soon. They didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
Zhao Mingcong was extremely disappointed. He said coldly, "Zhao E 'Lai, you disregarded the friendship of your family and used ruthless methods. Your punishment is three days of confinement. If you … dare to take revenge on this matter, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar. Zhao E 'Lai had killed more than ten young masters, but he was only sentenced to three days of confinement?
Even Zhao Bufu found it hard to believe. Not only was his father acting differently from his usual father, he was even acting a little preposterously!
"Zhao Bufu!" Zhao Mingcong shouted.
Zhao Bufu immediately rushed out and said, "Father."
"From now on, follow Zhao E 'Lai closely!" Zhao Mingcong said, "If anything happens, I'll hold you responsible!"
"Ah … follow him?" Zhao Bufu said in surprise, "But he's going to confinement. Don't tell me I have to follow him … to confinement?"
"Go!" Zhao Mingcong said, "If you want to take a dump or pee, you have to follow me!"
With that, Zhao Mingcong left in a flash. When he left, he gave Ye Tianze a deep look.
Ye Tianze was speechless. 'What are you trying to do by leaving your daughter with me? Do you want me to call you father-in-law?'
