Chapter 5277 The Lu family’s journey to the south has a history of pain
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "Because your Lu family crossed the Yangtze River too late. The power, official positions, and titles here, I mean the kind of power that can control the government and influence generations of descendants, especially the land and manor in Wu.
, has been carved up by the wealthy families in Jiankang City, and all that is left for you is to settle down in Jingkou and associate with those military households and generals. This is absolutely unacceptable to you, right?"
Lu Gu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Of course, how noble are we, the Fanyang Lu family, in the north? Even the barbaric leaders of the Hulu who were running rampant for a while did not dare to turn a blind eye to us, even though you asked for mercy.
The reason, but fundamentally speaking, the reason why Shi Hu finally appointed my uncle as a high-ranking official was because of the influence of our Lu family. After all, our ancestor Zhi Gong was a great Confucian at the end of the Later Han Dynasty. He was also a famous general who defeated the Yellow Turbans and saved the Han Dynasty. Since then,
From the beginning, the influence of our Lu family during the Wei and Jin Dynasties was one of the few in the world."
Huiyuan nodded: "You are right. Shi Hu originally wanted to kill your entire clan because of your great influence, which may determine the choices of the nobles in the world, especially those in the north. Therefore, he wanted to kill one of you.
Police, to prevent any more nobles from within the country from fleeing to other countries. In the end, your uncle and Shi Hu exchanged terms through my master's message. He agreed to serve as a scholar to offer sacrifices to the nobles of the Hu people in Shi Zhao.
Teach them Chinese and teach them how to read and digit, so that they can be like the Han people in the Central Plains."
Lu Gu nodded: "This is the reason why my uncle became an official in Shizhao despite the reputation of being a traitor. When the Hulu cannot be expelled for the time being, at least let them educate themselves from beasts to adults. This is also the way to protect the Han people in the world.
, at least it can make them suffer less. It’s a pity that Shi Hu did this just for a false name and for show. He himself is a cruel demon king, and there is no sense of brotherhood and human relations among all the disciples. How could he let it happen?
My uncle will teach these barbarians and wolves how to read and respond to rituals?"
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "Yes, in fact, my master has seen this a long time ago, but after all, Shi Zhao is in power, and if he does not work for him, he can only influence more people and save more people within the scope of his authorization.
I am afraid that the sins suffered by the people in the world will be greater and more painful. Some of the things my master predicted for him are destined to happen, and they cannot be changed whether they are predicted or not. If he can exchange for this, he can preach in the north of Shizhao.
Buddha, if the suffering people in the world can live longer, then it will be a great merit."
Speaking of this, the wrinkles on Huiyuan's face moved slightly: "Actually, even Han Ran Min is like this, isn't it? So much so that among the emperors, warlords, and aristocratic families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, none of them really wanted to save the world.
? They are all for their own power ambitions. They oppress internally, launch wars externally, and devastate lives. Compared with Shi Zhao, what is the difference? I have seen through all this, and I don’t want to fight for any regime, king, or ruler.
I will work for you, live in the mountains, and teach Buddhism. Those who have understanding and wisdom are willing to give up their family fortunes and join my disciples to support themselves. This is what I can do in this troubled world."
Lu Gu said coldly: "Baoyu, maybe you have stayed in the north for too long, and have been influenced by the Buddhist concept of being content with the status quo and suffering losses as blessings for too long. If you can't help the world, you can only
You just live alone and retreat into the mountains to escape the world. Your approach is not much different from those hermits who went to the Zhongnan Mountains. But I am different from you. I shoulder the important task of revitalizing the name of our Fanyang Lu family.
, Even if I can't accomplish this in the north, I still have to accomplish it in the south. Therefore, I came to Jingkou not to survive in troubled times, but to make a career. Even if I can't become Director Wang, I can't be better than Yu Liang.
Yin Hao's generation is worse. So, when I went to Jiankang to seek an official position, I encountered obstacles at every turn, and was even treated as a slut, a traitor, and a devil. Do you know how I felt?"
Huiyuan sighed softly: "Agu, you haven't positioned yourself correctly. You also know that the power, land, and manpower in the south are basically divided up by the northern gentry who came first. You won't
No matter how much space I leave you, even the Huan family and the Xie family, who crossed the river far earlier than you, can only be reduced to officials at the state and county level. Those first batch of wealthy families who crossed the river to assist the Sima family in establishing the Eastern Jin Dynasty,
You have been promoted to the first batch of southern aristocratic families, and you may not even be in the fourth batch when you cross the river. What you should do is to keep a low profile, start as a county-level official or even a clerk, or go to a large-scale official.
In the shogunate of aristocratic families, you can find positions such as writing documents and joining the army. This is how the Xie family started and prospered, why can't you see it?"
Lu Gu sneered and said: "Who is the Xie family of Chen County, and can it be compared with my Fan Yang Lu family? When we were in the north, they were not even qualified to carry shoes for our family. When you and I were studying in the Imperial College, where did you hear this?
Is there anyone with the surname Xie? Even the Langya Wang family at that time was not as good as ours. Baoyu, they just took advantage of it for a while and had some influence in the south. I never thought they were qualified to be among me.
superior."
Huiyuan nodded: "So you chose to simply join Tianshi Tao, and then you wanted to use the power of Tianshi Tao to rebel and seize power in the south and revive your family name, right?"
Lu Gu curled his lips and said: "There are quite a few members of our Lu family across the river, and our Lu family has never put eggs in one basket. I didn't directly join Tianshi Tao at first, but
As a doctor of Guozixue, I continue to be my famous scholar, but other elders of our Lu family joined the Tianshi Tao, and for a time became the leader of the Jingkou altar. He launched a secret assassination of the Jin Emperor, and also won over
Many nobles and local tycoons in Jingkou and Jiankang who were also dissatisfied with the aristocratic families participated, but unfortunately the success fell short, and we, the Lu family, were also driven out of Jingkou and deported to Wu."
"After being implicated, I went to Kuaiji County in the south with my son Lu Xun. During that period, we didn't even have a foothold. The officials of the family regarded me as a traitor and treated me like a prisoner. I was a famous person in the world.
, was forced to personally cultivate hundreds of acres of thin farmland. If my son Lu Xun had not become a bit successful after joining the Tianshi Tao, Sun Tai, the leader of the cult at that time, wanted to become a god in my Lu family, which would have led to this situation.
He often helps our family, but I'm afraid that I would have starved to death or been bullied to death by those high-ranking families."
Huiyuan said calmly: "Is this the reason why your father and his son finally launched an army to seize power by force?" (End of Chapter)
