Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 1754 13. Concubine selection in Kunyang (a political method used by powerful families to control the country)

Nalan Youmeng put away her melancholy, returned to reason, and asked Wu Xuanyue about the current situation——

"You really have a way to do it?"

Wu Xuanyue's expression was determined. She thought for a moment and then answered Nalan Youmeng's question carefully.

"Auntie, if I agree to you now without thinking, will it seem a little too arrogant? In this case, do you believe it?"

Nalan Youmeng paused and looked very cautious——

"If you agree to me without thinking, I will naturally not believe it. A promise without practice is an exaggeration in my opinion."

Wu Xuanyue just now had a happy smile on her face and replied: "That's right! If it were Yue'er who dared someone to talk so rhetorically in front of me, not only would I not believe this person, but I would definitely be disappointed with his character. Doubtful. So my aunt would doubt Yue'er's strength before, and Yue'er can completely understand."

Nalan Youmeng narrowed her eyes and stared away, looking at Wu Xuanyue warily.

"If that's the case, how true or false is what you just said?"

Wu Xuanyue took a long breath and replied: "There are some things that Yue'er dare not talk too much about, but what Yue'er can promise is that she will do her best to promote this situation, because at this point With one step, Yue'er has just taken another step closer to her life goal..."

Nalan Youmeng frowned and asked, "What is your life goal?"

Wu Xuanyue's eyes lit up and she stood up to answer: "Yes! My goal in life is much more than that - Yue'er stopped showing off in front of my aunt, so as not to lose a reputation of being too ambitious. Only then did she finally establish her reputation in front of my aunt. Yue'er doesn't want all the previous efforts to go to waste because of her words."

Hearing this, Nalan Youmeng was happy, and muttered in a low voice: "Ha~ This ghost girl will find a way out for herself."

After Nalan Youmeng started talking to herself, she immediately became more than serious. She didn't buy Wu Xuanyue's careless remarks.

"No matter how clever you are, even if you are not 100% sure, I must at least know your plans and arrangements, so that I can invest more in you with peace of mind."

Wu Xuanyue raised her eyebrows and opened her eyes. It seemed that her aunt was really not fooling around.

Wu Xuanyue lowered her head and smiled, thinking quickly when she raised her head, she had already figured out a strategy for the game.

"Auntie, let me tell you this - what does a wealthy family rely on for its rapid development in a short period of time? It relies on playing power, forming cliques, luring others with small profits, taking advantage of other people's shortcomings, inflating other people's desires, and wearing down other people's will. ...Such a method can be seen clearly by anyone with a certain will, but why is it that everyone is intoxicated by power and intrigue, but no one is willing to clearly recognize this reality?" Nalan Youmeng didn't know what Wu Xuanyue wanted. What to express, you can only follow what the other person said: "This is the bad nature of ordinary people, they like to be idle, hate work, are lazy, and always want to get the most rewards with the least effort. But the Quan clan has just seen the weaknesses of human nature, and constantly amplifies them. The greed of human desire always emphasizes carpe diem, and through sugar-coated bullets, clever words, beauty and authority, people can enjoy themselves and be satisfied in the moment, and then sink into it and be driven by their own desires."

Wu Xuanyue nodded solemnly, and then continued Nalan Youmeng's words: "Gluttony, greed, laziness, pride, metaphor, anger, and jealousy are the evils inherent in human nature, and the rich value these seven. This kind of evil will amplify it infinitely. Obviously their approach is completely opposite to Tianmen. Tianmen focuses on cultivating one's moral character and cultivating one's nature. Through practice, humans can gradually overcome the impulse of desire and cut off the six roots to achieve the purpose of cultivating one's mind. But what about Gongmen? They just use human beings. The seven kinds of evil in desires, developing their evils, indulging in their desires, and encouraging the bad nature of ordinary people, are the only way to facilitate the centralized control of powerful clans."

Hearing this, Nalan Youmeng's eyes trembled, and he seemed to understand something, but he continued to ask without revealing it.

"Why did Master Zhen say this? How did you come to such a conclusion?"

Wu Xuanyue used the information collected by Shan Lingyao over the years and combined it with his own thinking to lay out the problems one by one——

"If I think about it carefully, I will know that the Seven Stars of the wealthy family are in charge of their own affairs. They control the food, gambling, brothels, opium dens and other lifelines in the wealthy family. Looking at the business channels of the wealthy family, didn't I find anything strange?"

Nalan Youmeng shook her head and said that she had cultivated herself in the land of Nanxiang for many years. Although she had some cultivation skills, she was not deeply involved in the world and did not understand the meaning behind these industries at all.

Wu Xuanyue stopped trying to sell things off and told the truth directly——

"Food induces overeating in humans; gambling induces greed and jealousy in others; opium dens and taverns induce people to indulge in laziness; brothels indulge metaphors; competitions and hierarchies easily induce arrogance, jealousy and anger. Look at the masters of the Quan clan. , has set up a series of bureaus, which bureau does not revolve around the viciousness and weakness of the human heart as its origin?"

As soon as these words came out, Nalan Youmeng suddenly realized, like a thunderbolt, he finally woke up.

Seeing Nalan Youmeng's surprised eyes, Wu Xuanyue smiled slightly, stepped forward, and spoke confidently.

"Everyone in the world is a common person. The common people are short-sighted and only covet the pleasure of the present life. They don't know that delaying happiness, enduring hardships and hard work, and tempering one's own character are important ways to promote development. The Quan clan weakens them by stimulating the seven sins of the common people. The fighting power of the people, through timely entertainment, drained their pockets, leaving them empty of people and money, and the common people turned into bodies at the mercy of others. The lower class people had no fighting power and became soldiers and horses controlled by the middle class people; and the middle class people, although a little He has a bit of heart, but he doesn't have any great talents. He would rather be manipulated than give up the pitiful rights in his hands. As long as he can enslave the people below him, he can nod and bow like a grandson in front of the people above him. And the leaders on the top of the tower , as long as you master the shortcomings of the middle-level people, you can easily control the entire dynasty - this is the situation of the powerful clan, with strict hierarchy and seemingly prosperous, but in fact the lower levels are dilapidated and the middle levels are corrupt. The foundation has long lived up to the scene of the past and is strong. Don’t rush.”

Seeing this, Nalan Youmeng's eyes trembled. This was the first time she heard such an analysis, and she couldn't help but wonder.

"Where did you hear all this?"

Wu Xuanyue smiled secretly: "Auntie, the connections my father left for Yue'er are far more than those visible to the naked eye. As for where I heard this information, it's not important - what's important is that I already know It seems like a gap in the powerful and prosperous Quan clan. As for how to take action and how to regain the Quan clan, that is Yue'er's ability! And has Auntie made her decision? This time, are you willing to support Yue'er to the end?"

Nalan Youmeng was stunned by the question. To be honest, she was really moved. However, as a king, she is stable and meticulous and cannot allow her to boast in a hotheaded way. Such impulse is not a good thing...
