Hearing Zhao Yu mention these matters, Bai Zhizhan also felt a deep sense of lamentation.
More than twenty years ago, it was through Zhao Yu that he came to understand the true state of the He Family, and Bai Zhizhan realized that following the He Family might not lead to positive outcomes.
Of course, the key issue was that it went against his fundamental values.
To put it more seriously, some of the He Family's actions were actually profiteering from the nation's troubles.
Unfortunately, even Xue Yuanzheng was helpless in this matter.
As Zhao Yu put it, removing the He Family was a minor issue, but if the He Family fell, the Empire's five major shipyards, as well as over a hundred upstream enterprises, would all have to halt production.
Without the He Family, who could restrain the Liu Family?
The two great families mutually opposed each other, at least obeying orders from above.
If only one remained, it would only become even more arrogant and unyielding.
