244 Wai Ju's widow, ballast stone
It is about Lu Ji, the minister of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.
Lu Ji (188-219), a native of Wu County, Wu County (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), was the son of Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang.
After Lu Ji became an adult, he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable about the astronomical calendar, and he was involved in the arithmetic arithmetic of the ephemeris. Sun Quan granted Cao Peng, who often saw fear with his straight path, and became the Taishou of Yulin and the general of the partial. Although he was in the army, he did not waste his works, and he wrote "Hun Tian Tu", "I Ching", and "Taixuan Jing Annotation".
…… ……
When Lu Ji was six years old, he went to Jiujiang with his father Lu Kang to meet Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu took out oranges to entertain, and Lu Ji hid two oranges in his arms. Before leaving, he saluted Yuan Shu, and the hidden orange rolled to the ground, Yuan Shu sneered, "Lu Lang came to my house as a guest, do you still have to hide the master's orange when you leave?" ”
Lu Ji replied, "My mother likes to eat oranges, and I want to take them back and give them to my mother to taste." ”
Yuan Shu was very surprised to see that he knew how to be filial to his mother at a young age.
Later generations have poems:
"Filial piety is nature,
A six-year-old in the world.
With green oranges in the sleeves,
The widow reported breastfeeding. ”
When the Three Kingdoms were in the Three Kingdoms, they didn't educate their children, although it was "reporting breastfeeding", it was also "stealing", could filial piety cover up all evil deeds? We don't educate our children like that now, do we?
…… ……
After Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, he was stationed in Wu County (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu), and Lu Ji became his guest. At that time, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong (hó
g), Qin Song, as a guest, discussed together about the current Taiping of the four seas, and the need to use force to pacify all places, at that time, Lu Ji was young, so he sat at the back, so he said loudly in the distance:
"Back then, Guan Yiwu served as prime minister under Duke Qi Huan, gathered the princes nine times, and ruled the world without military vehicles. Confucius said, 'Those who are far away do not obey, and as long as they concentrate on correcting their virtues, they themselves will come and surrender.' 'The people who are discussing today do not seek to acquire moral skills, but only advocate martial arts, and although I am young and ignorant, I am not at ease. ”
Hearing the young man Lu Ji's answer, Zhang Zhao and the others were very surprised at him.
Although Lu Ji is only a teenager, his knowledge surpasses that of people older than him, and he is as famous as Gu Shao, and is better than Lu Xun, Zhang Dun, Bu Jing and others.
…… ……
Lu Ji is majestic, erudite, well-informed, Yu Fu is a famous old minister in Eastern Wu, and Xiangyang Pang Tong is also famous in Jingzhou
's scholars, although they are all older than Lu Ji, have a friendly relationship with Lu Ji.
Sun Ce was assassinated, and Sun Quan inherited the cause and appointed Lu Ji as Cao Peng. Lu Ji is more revered because he focuses on the right path.
In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Pang Tong took Zhou Yu's coffin to Wu. Lu Ji went to mourn with Quan Cong and Gu Shao, and the three of them became close friends with Pang Tong.
…… ……
After Sun Quan pacified Jiaozhou, Lu Ji was transferred to Yulin Taishou, and he was appointed as a general, allowing him to command 2,000 soldiers.
Lu Ji has been under Sun Quan for more than ten years.
Yulin County is located in Lingnan, the climate is hot, the epidemic is epidemic, and the environment is very difficult. After Lu Ji took office, he mobilized the people to build the county town and dug a well in Shanghuangtun, known as "Lu Gongjing", in present-day Nanjiang Village, which improved drinking water and living conditions and reduced the spread of epidemics.
Lu Jijiang's daughter born during his tenure was named Yu Sheng, and his love for this station is not difficult to imagine. Lu Ji has made outstanding contributions to the local area and won the support of the people. At the end of his term, he returned to his homeland. According to generally speaking, Lu Ji has served as Taishou for more than ten years, and he should return with a full load when he leaves office, and all his belongings are still less than a ship when Lu Ji leaves office. The captain said, "What should I do if I drive the boat like this, and if something goes wrong?" ”
Lu Ji asked: "What kind of mess are you afraid of?" ”
The three fences said: "The ship is too full and heavy, and no matter how strong it is, it is not easy to move; If it is too light, it is easy to capsize in the event of strong winds and waves. You are a family of four, and the things you carry are not as good as a cold man, and the boat is too light, so you have to find a way to add some weight. ”
The family discussed buying a load of dried bamboo shoots and two large urns, which were filled with pickles and placed in the cabin, but this did not do much, but the captain shook his head and said, "It still can't be done, if a boat of this weight is in the water, it will definitely go with the current." ”
At this time, there was not much silver left on Lu Ji's body, and it was not possible to buy some things and put them on the ship to increase the weight, so everyone was in a hurry, and it happened that there was a big stone on the shore, weighing seven or eight hundred catties. Lu Ji inquired that this stone had no owner, so he gathered everyone to carry it onto the ship.
Several white-haired old men were puzzled when they saw it, and a scholar commented: "Lord Lu is very knowledgeable, maybe there is some origin of this stone?" ”
Halfway through the boat, he suddenly encountered a pirate who intercepted the official ship. The robbers uncovered the pot in which they were cooking, and when they saw that there was only a little green vegetable in it, they said, "It seems that you, an official, are reluctant to eat or wear, and you must be a great miser." ”
They thought that Lu Ji would definitely have a lot of money after being an official for more than ten years, so they went into the ship to search, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, but found nothing. When they opened the bilge and found a boulder, they were puzzled and asked again and again, only to realize that it was to press the ship.
The leader of the water thieves was very emotional, and he sighed and said: "I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for three or four years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a Taishou and such an official ship!" ”
The entourage interjected: "Lord Lu has a clean breeze in his office, even if he is silver, and he often helps relatives, friends and people, and now when he returns to Jiangnan, he only has a few pieces of broken luggage. ”
When the leader of the water thieves heard that this person was Yu Lin Taishou Lu Ji, he said apologetically: "If we knew it was Lord Lu's ship, we wouldn't have come." ”
When she returned home, the old mother saw that her son was empty-handed, and she was full of praise and said happily: "This is my good son." If you return full of treasure and swag, I will deny you. ”
Lu Ji's return to his hometown with a boulder has become a beautiful conversation. Several scholars collected the big stone that Lu Ji brought back, named it "Lian Shi", and praised it with poems.
…… ……
Lu Ji is deeply educated, and it is not his ambition to be an official. Although he participated in the military, his writings were not abandoned, and he once made annotations for the Book of Changes and made a map of the heavens.
Knowing that he was going to die, he made a speech and said, "There is Lu Ji of Wujun, a scholar of the Han Dynasty, who renovated the Book of Poetry and Books when he was a child, and was good at the Book of Rites and the Book of Changes when he was an adult. He also said, "From now on, sixty years from now, cars can be on the same track, books can be written in the same text, but unfortunately I can't see it." ”
Lu Ji refers to the unification of the world in the Western Jin Dynasty.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Lu Ji died at the age of thirty-two. Lu Ji left behind two boys and a girl, both of whom returned to their hometowns when they were only a few years old, and Lu Mao (mào), a member of the same clan, took them into his home to raise them, and did not separate until they grew up.
…… ……
Filial piety is a subject set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to appoint officials, and filial piety means "filial piety to the elders, honesty and integrity". Many officials in the Han Dynasty and even in the Three Kingdoms have the name of "promoting filial piety and honesty", but it is Lu Jiye who really does it.
