While Li Chen was visiting the Xu family, Zhao Tailai was personally experiencing the horror of the Zhao family's law.

Zhao Tailai, who was tied to the bench, whipped his body with a whip and screamed like a pig.

"Dad! Dad! Stop hitting! Please stop hitting!"

Seeing Zhao Tailai, who was squeezing from his back and butt, screaming in such a terrifying manner, Zhao Xuanji's anger was still not relieved.

"I asked you to make friends with the prince, but I didn't ask you to make this shield for them! Do you know that your position as the president will make your father and the entire Zhao family die without a burial place!?"

Zhao Xuanji's roar made Zhao Tailai pale.

"Dad, I really didn't think so much, and this Wen Yuan knows how to do it, it really looks good. I agreed as soon as my mind was hot, Dad, please spare me, can I quit immediately? Let's go immediately."

Zhao Tailai was really scared of being beaten, so he begged.

Zhao Xuanji snorted coldly, threw down his whip, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me? It's easy to be the president, but it's difficult to say goodbye!"

Looking at Zhao Tailai's tears, Zhao Xuanji was extremely disappointed.

"I no longer expect you to help me, but now you are not young, so it's okay if you can't do anything, but you keep helping you and causing trouble. Why did I give birth to such a useless thing as you!"

Zhao Tailai was unwilling to accept it even more, but he didn't dare to talk back at this time. He just said aggrievedly: "Dad, I still can't figure out why I am the president, so why is it just a shield?"

"If you can figure it out, you're not a pig's brain!"

Zhao Xuanji scolded: "This Wenyuan Society was organized by Prince Wen. Why did he easily give you the position of president? Do you believe it or not? Even if you don't take the initiative to join, he will try every means to pull you in and then use all means to give this position of president to you!"

"Think about it, now that the Wenyuan Association has just been established, how many powerful people in the capital have flocked to join? Those who join the Wenyuan Association are all children of aristocratic families with extraordinary families. Once they form an alliance with each other, how huge is this? Will the Dongchang not notice such a big thing? Once the Dongchang notices, will the Donggong not know?"

Zhao Tailai said in surprise: "What does it have to do with me being this president? Isn't it good? It will increase our influence."

"Why do you need the Zhao family to increase this influence??"

Zhao Xuanji was furious and said, "Zhao family, Zhao Xuanji, is influence. I have worked hard for decades and have real power connections. Just like the root network has long been densely spread across the court, I still need this kind of influence on paper? This is called "Tree Big Brings Wind!"

"What would the East Palace think when you have such a Wenyuan Society? What exactly are you going to do when you, Zhao Tai, come here? Are you going to rebel? Are you going to rebel? Are you going to rebel, is it just me, the father, who wants to rebel?"

There are too many subtleties in game and balance in politics that can only be understood but not expressed in words. Zhao Xuanji cannot explain these subtleties clearly, and Zhao Tailai cannot understand them either.

Of course, the Eastern Palace is not that stupid. Just because Zhao Tailai became the president, he decided that the Zhao family would rebel. Anyone could see that Zhao Tailai suffered this loss and deceived people into it.

But is this important?

unimportant.

What’s important is that the president is Zhao Tailai.

Once the East Palace wants to take action, Zhao Tailai will not be able to escape.

This is passive.

It was far more passive than his plan to get rid of Xu Changqing.
