Chapter 3909 35. Moral Education Makes a Country Prosperous (Shangguan Zhuhou Worries about His Son)
"Few are willing to be in a subordinate position. If you fail to control them, they will either commit crimes or usurp the throne. If the superior has no authority, the subordinates will cause chaos. Authority is established through etiquette. If it is relied on through punishment, it will be indulged. Fortunately, there is not one person who is dedicated to harming others. His schemes are hidden and his connections are close. The subordinates know his authority and fear him. Talented people can be used, but they are not great harms and are tolerated. Grace and authority are applied together, and talents and virtues are compared. If there is no merit, how can it be without heaven?"

Shangguan Zhuhou and Wu Xuanyue met privately, and today's teaching content turned out to be these.

In fact, Wu Xuanyue had already understood the profoundness of these contents from the "Luozhi Jing" that she had read in her early years, but it was a bit surprising that Shangguan Zhuhou would preach to her this time.

"Your Majesty, why are you telling me this today?"

Although Wu Xuanyue was curious, she still patiently listened to Shangguan Zhuhou's teachings and then asked curiously.

Shangguan Zhuhou sighed and said, "The True Master is gifted. He has mastered the art of controlling spirits in a short period of time. How to cultivate his internal energy and how to sign a contract with spirit beasts. These basic martial arts have long been mastered by the True Master. Today, I want to talk to you about how to control them at the same time. In fact, controlling spirits and controlling people are the same thing. I also know that the True Master was able to turn the tide in my Quan Clan and make the Quan Clan restless because he had read all the stories here. Therefore, it will not be so difficult for me to communicate with the True Master."

After hearing this, Wu Xuanyue finally understood the other party's intention. Considering that Shangguan Zhuhou looked very unhappy when he came here today, Wu Xuanyue had probably guessed something.

"Well... since His Majesty the Dragon King approves of this and is willing to share some ideas with Yue'er, it is naturally the best idea."

"It is easy to control one person, but difficult to control the whole world. For those who have power, it is not easy to obtain it, and it is even more difficult to keep it. If you are not smart enough, you will not get it. If you make a mistake, you will suffer. It is a matter of life and death. It is obvious that being the master of the world is not easy. If you want peace in the world, you have to consider all aspects, all walks of life, and all classes. You have to balance and take into account... Second Miss, as a woman, do you really think you can rule the world?"

Shangguan Zhuhou seemed to have gone off topic. Perhaps he had no intention of teaching Wu Xuanyue anything today, but instead wanted to resolve the doubts in his heart.

Hearing this, Wu Xuanyue lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and then sighed helplessly.

"As a girl, Yue'er has always wanted to be a simple and clear-minded woman, not worrying about family affairs, not worrying about state affairs, and taking good care of her husband and the old and young in the family is a woman's duty. However... I am a descendant of the Wu family, and some responsibilities are not something I can let go of just because I want to. My father has placed high hopes on me since I was a child. My birth destined me to never be an ordinary woman. How can someone with great ambitions and powerful weapons live a peaceful life? Regardless of gender, as long as you have ambitions in your heart, burdens on your shoulders, and responsibilities in your heart, it is impossible for you to be in a chaotic world and do nothing."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Zhuhou's eyes lit up. Although he was disappointed with Shangguan Kunyang, when he came to Wu Xuanyue and heard the other party's words, his heart seemed to be injected with strength again.

"Have you read the Book of Weaving?"

At this point, Shangguan Zhuhou did not directly express his attitude, but asked a tentative question.

"Just reading a little bit doesn't mean you have reached a certain level."

Wu Xuanyue responded with a smile.

Shangguan Zhuhou then asked, "What do the true scholars think of Luozhijing?"

"This... is hard to say..." "Hehe~ Zhenshi, are you playing tricks on me again? If you have something to say, just say it. It's okay."

"It depends on the angle from which you read the book. I think there is no absolute right or wrong in everything. It's okay to use different methods on different people as long as you can achieve your goal."

"Haha~ This is just a way to please me, Zhenshi. I want to hear your true thoughts."

"That's a true thought, but I don't completely agree with the approach in this book when it comes to ruling people, because this book only teaches how to use the art of power, but it never takes into account the social relationship with a person as the main body. If people are simply treated as tools for the use of power, then... many contradictions in people's livelihood will be exposed."

"Yes~ This is the current situation of the Quan family. The more obvious the class differentiation is, the more obvious the opposition is. By the way, why do you think my Shangguan family has the ability to become the king of the Quan family?"

"This... Because you, the Shangguan family, are born with both wisdom and courage, and you are also endowed with great domineering power. The domineering power in your body is several times more than that of ordinary people. This kind of deterrence is the ability to control spirits given to you by God. Who can not submit to it?"

"But relying on force to make people submit is never about submission from the heart, but about verbal pressure. The people of the Quan family are dead, and everyone seems to have accepted this state. Without people's hearts, they are like the walking corpse, and are heading for decline and death."

Shangguan Zhuhou had a sharp eye. He had long seen the trend of the Quan family's decline, but what could he do? He was just a screw in the gears of history. He had no power to change this trend. What else could he do except add to his sadness?
"What can Yuling Jiuhe do? If she loses the support of the people from the very beginning, those who are just trying to gain fame and fortune will fall apart and perish when fame and fortune disappear..."

Shangguan Zhuhou smiled bitterly. It seemed that Shangguan Kunyang had dealt him a heavy blow today.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King is quite emotional today. What happened? Are you willing to tell Yue'er a little bit?"

"Haha~ Who else in this Quan clan can make me worry so much?"

Shangguan Zhuhou gave a bitter smile and then spoke his mind without hesitation.

"Hmm... Young Master Kunyang has made His Majesty unhappy again?"

"Yes~ I am just wondering, you are both rising talents, why are you and Town Master Cao so outstanding, but my unenlightened son is in such a bad situation? He is so old but still doesn't understand the times and can't see the situation clearly. He likes to do things according to his own temperament, just like a playboy. Tell me... How can I be assured of handing the Quan family to him?"

"Well... Young Master Kunyang's growth rate is indeed worrying, but... this is not a bad thing. It proves that Your Majesty the Dragon King has protected him very well and has not let him be contaminated by the filth of officialdom. He is born with a pure aura. If he is enlightened well in the later stage, maybe he is the real hope of the Quan family?"

After these words came out, Shangguan Zhuhou waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. I am a rebellious son, and I still hope that he can take charge of the family. As long as he can manage his own life well, I dare not even think about the rest..."
