Zhuo County is also the city of Beijing that was now renamed by Yuan Chang. Fanyang is one of the county seats in Zhuo County, because with the development and growth of the Lu family, Fanyang County has now been upgraded to a first-class county.

Fanyang County has been moving here from the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for more than 500 years. Naturally, not all the children of the Lu family moved to Fanyang County to live, and according to the survival rules of the family, the children of the Lu family naturally lived separately in various places to continue the family bloodline. Before the appearance of Lu Zhi in the Fan Yang Lu family, the Fan Yang Lu family did not become the Lu family. After all, everyone wants to be a descendant, and they don't want to be a vassal of others. Although when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Lu Juan, the king of Yan from Fanyang County, fought for the Lu family of Fanyang County, but Lu Huang later rebelled and fled to the Huns. Until Lu Zhi was born and became a well-known Confucian in the sea, so far, it is indisputable that Fanyang Lu has become the descendant of Lu's children.

The mansion of Fanyang Lu is located in the center of Fanyang County, occupying more than 100 acres of land, which is equivalent to the size of more than ten football fields, which shows the prosperity of Fanyang Lu. You must know that this is only the area of Fanyang Lu's mansion, if you add the fields and other land occupied, I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 acres. The Fanyang Lu clan alone has so much land, and counting the large and small families, how much land in the world has fallen into the hands of ordinary people? It can be seen from this that the land annexation is fierce.

At this moment, in the middle hall of the Lu Mansion, dozens of men, both old and young, were gathering together, all with serious expressions. The expression is solemn.

Lu Zhi's father is Lu Ren, and Lu Ren has four brothers. Lu Ren, Lu Xiao, Lu Li, Lu Yi. Lu Ren had a son, Lu Zhi, who died in middle age; Lu Li has two sons, Lu Bin and Lu Jun, and Lu Yi has three sons, Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, and Lu Hu. In addition to Lu Ren, Lu Xiao's deceased elders, Lu Li and Lu Yi were all present, and Lu Zhi's generation, except for Lu Zhi, who is now recuperating in Yecheng, Jizhou, the other five people were also present, in addition, Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu. The sons of Lu Bin, Lu Jun, Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, and Lu Hu were also present. As the biggest contributor to the rise of the Lu family in Fanyang, Lu Zhi has the least power in the Lu family. The reason why this is so is also because Lu Zhi is dedicated to learning and serving the imperial court, and is not keen on the rights of the family, so it has become the current situation.

"Father, fourth uncle, according to the family's spies, there have been many unfamiliar faces in Fanyang County recently. There are about 1,000 people. These people are all powerful and fierce-looking, and the spies analyze these people or sergeants. If it is not bad as expected, I am afraid that it is a soldier under the command of Youzhou Mu Yuan Chang. ”

The man who spoke first was fair-skinned. Personable, at first glance it makes people feel good. However, he immediately followed with a smug face on his face. But it is the good feeling brought by the appearance is eliminated without a trace.

This man is Lu Bin, the son of Lu Li, and the so-called Yunwen Yunwu is called Zhibin. It's a pity. Lu Bin is ashamed of his name, and he can't do it; Lu Bin did not inherit his father's courtesy, and there should be filial piety between brothers, however, as the elder brother, Lu Bin is competing for power and profit with Lu Jun, the younger brother, and he cares about everything without the slightest humility. Of course, Lu Jun's appearance is worthy of his name, but in terms of morality, words and deeds, he is not much different from Lu Bin. In addition to the two brothers Lu Bin and Lu Jun, the three brothers Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, and Lu Hu are also half a catty and eight taels, and they have no sense of courtesy.

And the reason why the five brothers Lu Bin, Lu Jun, Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, and Lu Hu became so close was because they were influenced by Lu Li and Lu Yi.

Lu Ren, Lu Xiao, Lu Li and Lu Yi are four brothers, except for Lu Ren and Lu Xiao who are worthy of their respective names, Lu Li and Lu Yi are simply blind to their names. And the reason why Lu Xiao died prematurely was also because of filial piety. Long before the Lu clan was developed, the character of Lu Li and Lu Yi had not been completely exposed. After all, the Lu family was not rich at that time, and it was only a well-off family, and there was nothing to fight for if they wanted to. However, when Lu Zhi became the master of the house, as Lu Zhi's reputation grew, the Lu family also began to rise, and the momentum of prosperity continued to rise. When the Lu family grew and prospered, the character of Lu Li and Lu Yi was completely exposed.

Although Lu Zhi is the head of the Lu family, however, because Lu Zhi is in the imperial court, he is attached to the imperial court, and he does not have much energy to manage the family. Therefore, he handed over the family affairs to the management of his two uncles, Lu Li and Lu Yi.

Although Lu Li and Lu Yi are keen on the position of the head of the Lu family, they are not fools without brains, and they know that the Lu family can have today's status and wealth because of Lu Zhi, a nephew. Therefore, Lu Li and Lu Yi only controlled the real power of the Lu family, and did not covet the position of the head of the family. The two brothers Lu Li and Lu Yi are fighting for power, and they can't see that they are two brothers at all. Therefore, because of the struggle between Lu Li and Lu Yi, it has imperceptibly affected their son, so that the next generation is also engaged in open and secret battles, and they are just about to stage a real martial arts.

Therefore, Lu Bin showed his face when he was able to report the news first, so he was so proud.

Lu Jun naturally wouldn't let his brother be pretty, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, fourth uncle, I already know about this matter. And, in order to investigate the truth of these strange faces, I also asked the family's private soldiers to deliberately cause trouble and fight with them, these guys are quite strong, and one person can defeat several private soldiers of our family. There are nearly a thousand people on the other side, and the family is afraid that they will have to send thousands of people to fight against them, which is extremely unfavorable to the family. ”

Regarding the open and secret fight between Lu Bin and Lu Jun, Lu Yi and his three sons are naturally happy to see it, and they just watch the play as if they were nothing. Although Lu Li was secretly angry in his heart that his two sons were stupid, he fought in front of everyone, and he was ashamed of his own vein. However, thinking about it, his two sons can find a little abnormality, it is much better than the fourth and three waste sons, usually except for rampant in the city, bullying the weak, it is useless at all. After comforting himself with Ah Q's spirit, Lu Li's mood finally improved.

"Fourth brother. I don't think the enemy is too strong, it's your men who are too useless. Lu Yi's eldest son, Lu Jiang, glanced at Lu Jun with disdain. Loud mocking. "Fourth brother, I have also met those guys you mentioned, although their strength is not weak. However, it would be an exaggeration to say that they alone are comparable to several of our family's private soldiers. At that time, my men were only on the same level as them. ”

Lu Li's eldest son, Lu Bin, was the earliest born in this generation and is the eldest son of the entire Fanyang Lu family. Of course, the choice of the head of the family is based on ability and conduct, not inheritance by the eldest son, therefore. Although Lu Bin was born first, it was useless, and the second born was Lu Yi's eldest son Lu Jiang. Although Lu Zhi is the son of the boss Lu Ren, he is only ranked third. The fourth is Lu Li's second son Lu Jun, the fifth Lu Hai, and the sixth Lu Hu. Like the Runan Yuan family, this generation is all six children, of course, if you don't count Yuan Chang who came through the time, Lu Zhi alone will completely destroy the six children of the Runan Yuan family. And Yuan often crossed over. If it is said that in terms of learning, Lu Zhi alone still completely destroyed the six members of the Yuan family in Runan, and if it is said that ability, it is naturally Yuan Chang who completely destroyed the six members of the Fanyang Lu family alone.

Being so despised by Lu Jiang, Lu Jun was naturally extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

I secretly regretted it in my heart. I knew that I didn't say just now that it would take several subordinates to fight to a draw with the other party, but said that it was a one-on-one battle to draw and see how Lu Jiang could get stuck. Of course, Lu Jun can't change his words at this moment. Fan Yang Lu is also a family of poetry, books and etiquette, even if there is a problem with his conduct. Nor can it be displayed in front of everyone with great swagger. has been slapped in the face by Lu Jiang, if he changes his words just now. Wouldn't he tell others that what he just said was false, and that there was something wrong with his character, that is, he stretched out the right side of his face and made people slap him a few times.

However, although Lu Jun was slapped by Lu Jiang, there were also people who helped him avenge.

"Second brother, in this way, your subordinates are still too weak. I saw Lu Jiang's younger brother Lu Hai stand up, shook his head regretfully at Lu Jiang, showed a look of self-satisfaction, and said arrogantly: "Although those guys are not weak, but my subordinates are not bad, and they are not weaker than them at all." As long as there are a thousand of them of my strength, these guys don't have to worry at all. ”

In the struggle of these children of the Lu family, there is no such thing as an enemy at all, and the enemy is a friend, in their eyes, except for themselves, everyone is an enemy in front of them, even their Lao Tzu, which is no exception.

"Fifth brother, your subordinates are so strong?"

Finally, a man in his thirties stood out, looking at Lu Hai with a complacent face, and his expression seemed to be extremely surprised. "The strength of those guys is so weak, one of my subordinates can defeat several of them, if they are so strong, what does our family have to worry about, how many comes, my subordinates can easily solve it. ”

This person is naturally the sixth eldest of Lu Zhi's generation, Lu Hu. For his brother, he naturally spared no effort to blow him, leaving no shame at all.

Although it is said to be the first strike, sometimes the second strike is also the first strike. Lu Hu, who spoke like this, was the last to express his opinion, but his words completely exploded the brothers who expressed their opinions in front of him, which can be described as standing out from the crowd.

Seeing Lu Yi's three sons fighting each other, although Lu Li's face was serious, he was actually smiling in his heart, and Lu Yi's mood at the moment was naturally the same as Lu Li's mood just now, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he used the same method as Lu Li to comfort himself, so he was calm again.

The struggle between the Lu clan's children has become so fierce that if it continues like this, the Lu clan may not need other families to take action, and they will die on the battlefield of infighting. However, Lu Li's two sons and Lu Yi's three sons are waste, but don't forget that Lu Zhi's son is not a simple guy.

Lu Zhi's son, Lu Yu, is only nine years old this year, and although he is young, he is extremely intelligent and has already shown his extraordinary. Lu Zhi had three sons, the eldest and second sons both died due to the war, leaving orphans and widows. Lu Zhi was an official in the imperial court, and was later recruited by Yuan Shao as a military advisor, so the young Lu Yu took on the responsibility of taking care of his sister-in-law and nephew, and was famous in Fan Yang.

Historically, Lu Yu was under Cao Cao and was known for his rule of law and recommendation.

At that time, after a long period of war, there were still many deserters, so the deserters were severely punished, and their wives and children were also punished. At that time, there were some wives of deserters who had only been at their husbands' homes for a few days and had not seen their husbands, but their husbands had fled, and Dali wanted her to be sentenced to death according to the method of punishing the bereaved families of deserters. Lu Yu quoted classics such as the Book of Songs and the Book of Rites to state that wives had not seen their husbands and had not yet become wives, and refuted that Dali had sentenced them to excessively heavy sentences as if they were married wives, and believed that they could be punished lightly and did not need to be executed. Seeing this, Cao Cao admired him very much, and appointed him as the prime minister of the Cao Decree History, and later transferred to the Western Cao Decree History.

Subsequently, Cao Cao was crowned Duke of Wei, the State of Wei was established, and Lu Yu was promoted to the rank of minister. Later, Cao Pi was called the emperor, served as the Huangmen squire, and later successively served as the minister of Jiyin and Liang County and the Taishou of Qian County. However, because he later saw that the land of Cao Pi's hometown was barren and the people were poor, he asked the people who had previously migrated to Tuntian in Qian County to move to the fertile land of Liang State, but because he lost Cao Pi's original intention to enrich his hometown, he angered Cao Pi and was demoted to the rank of Suiyang Dian Agricultural School Captain. Although he was degraded, he was dedicated to helping the people, and later served as the Taishou of Anping and Guangping, and was also loved by the local people.

During the three years that Lu Yu served as a waiter, he had many arguments and arguments with Cao Rong. Cao Rong issued an edict saying: "Using the ability according to the amount of talent, and appointing the post according to the talent, this is something that is difficult for a virtuous monarch to fully do, and it must be assisted by good ministers to ensure that officials can be appropriately promoted and replaced." Lu Yu in the service, chaste temperament, peace of mind, can be said to be a meritorious man who is tireless in his position. Therefore, I have appointed Lu Yu as the secretary of the ministry from now on. He also asked Lu Yu to choose a person suitable for his position to replace him, saying: "It's good to be like you." So Lu Yu chose Zheng Chong, the permanent attendant. Cao Rong said: "Zheng Wenhe, I already know him very well, you can recommend people I have heard of." Lu Yu recommended Ruan Wu and Sun Yong again, and Cao Rong appointed Sun Yong. Situ Chen Jiao died, Situ was suspended for half a year, and the following year Cao Rong asked Lu Yu who could be Situ, Lu Yu first raised Guan Ning, who had been unwilling to be an official, but Cao Rong did not use, Lu Yu then raised Han Ji, Cui Lin and Chang Lin, and then Cao Rong appointed Han Ji as Situ. Lu Yu was elected on the basis of character first, and then his eloquence and intellect were considered, because Lu Yu believed that talent was for the purpose of doing good, and if he was talented but could not do good, he would be useless if he was talented, and he could not be appointed as talented. Li Feng, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, once asked Lu Yu about this, and Lu Yu said: "Talent is to be used to achieve good deeds, so great talents can achieve great good deeds, and small talents can only achieve small good deeds. Li Feng and others admired his insights.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the existence of Lu Yu, that is, Fan Yang Lu has Lu Li, Lu Yi and a few stupid children, but Fan Yang Lu's family has not declined, and it was not until after the Tang Dynasty that Wu Zetian's butcher's knife was added that it gradually faded out of the historical stage. Moreover, Lu Yu is not only very successful himself, but his children and grandchildren are also very competitive, and they are also extremely famous in history. Perhaps, it is precisely because of these reasons that Fan Yang Lu's family can go so far.

Nine-year-old Lu Yu frowned when he saw several uncles and uncles fighting like this, but he didn't say anything at the moment, still listening attentively and waiting to move. (To be continued.) )
