Lu Zhaoci did not mention these by name. What is a clan? There are many outstanding talents in the clan. This has to be admitted. No matter how advanced the imperial examination system is and how many people are studying, no matter what,

One thing will not change, and that is the heritage. The heritage of a family will definitely be accumulated over time before it can become a family. If a family has grown up through the hard work of one or two generations, it is not a family at all, at most.

He is just a new upstart. Before these people have not formed a strong force, it is impossible to compete with the big family. But no matter what, Lu Zhaoci will not let these people become parasites attached to the empire.

insect.

Becoming a clan member is very simple. As long as you have the blood of the Lu family, you can be considered a clan member. However, you only have the name of a clan member, just like Liu Bei in the late Han Dynasty. He claimed to be King Jing of Shanzhong Mountain in Hanzhong.

After that, now you clans can also claim to be the descendants of any emperor of the Lu family, but they are definitely far away, so far away that there is no record of the clan in the clan genealogy. It is impossible for the court to support such people, since you big clans

Put aside the side branches, then I can also put aside these remote clans like you. The same principle applies.

"In fact, the clan and the imperial court are integrally connected. When Emperor Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty's 400-year-old foundation, he relied on his scattered tribesmen to continue the Han's 200-year-old foundation!" Lu Kuan said with a smile:

"The same is true for the Lu family. Only by dividing those side branches can our Lu family develop and grow. We will not be in danger of being wiped out because of one Lu family. The Cui family is now divided into Boling and

Isn't that what Qinghe is like? The two families cooperate with each other and fight with each other, but two characters of Cui cannot be written in one stroke."

Lu Zhaoci didn't speak, with a smile on his face. He didn't know whether he agreed with Lu Kuan's suggestion in his heart, or if he didn't agree with Lu Kuan's suggestion. Instead, he moved forward slowly amidst the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone, while Zu Ming's guard role was

, Zhou Qing and others led the soldiers to carefully guard the surroundings. Lu Kuan's old face blushed slightly, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He didn't believe what he said. Lu Zhaoci didn't understand. To be honest,

He was also angry, when did such a person appear in his branch? The appearance of such a person certainly made the Lu family proud. It can be said that the Lu family would become famous because of it in the future. At least an emperor appeared. You

He admitted that the side branches were suppressing the main sect, but according to the logic, the position of your sect in the palace should always be reserved for the main sect! If you don’t want that sect to be honest, just say that the person in charge of the Ancestral Temple should also give it to the sect.

Keep it! But now, not only have I not achieved these, even the butterfly stored in the Zongzhengyuan does not have the name of my sect, and it is only the branch from the ancestor to Lu Zhaoci, there is no one at all.

Others. This made him very depressed and annoyed, as if Lu Zhaoci had slapped him hard in front of everyone. More importantly, the other party was the emperor, and the emperor was supreme.

You can’t teach the emperor a lesson for this!

At this time, Lu Kuan was very regretful. If he had known that Lu Zhaoci was such a person, all the Guandong aristocratic families should have gathered together to oppose him and support Wang Shichong, or even support Dou Jiande or Luo Yi. How could they choose Lu Zhaoci?

Lu Zhaoci is an immature wolf! Not long after he took the throne, he aimed his sword at the clan and the aristocratic families. In the more than ten years since he took the throne, no one knows how many aristocratic families have disappeared under Lu Zhaoci’s butcher knife.

, even the thousand-year-old Boling Cui family and Qinghe Cui family were severely hit. Compared to these families, although the Lu family suffered very few blows, they also became the object of ridicule by the world. Of course, some

People would say that Lu Zhaoci was very harsh on the people in his clan, but Lu Zhaoci was very kind to those ordinary untouchables. This made Lu Kuan very depressed.

These days, Lu Zhaoci must recognize the status of the Fanyang Lu family as a clan member, and the names of the Fanyang Lu family must be engraved on the royal family members. Only in this way will these people be the real clan members and enjoy the same benefits as the royal clan.

The status of the clan, imagine that the clan is quite powerful no matter what he does. Imagine that Liu Bei, who is just a mat weaver and shoe seller, actually got the allegiance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by virtue of the qualification of being a clan member.

, life or death. This is the strength of the clan. If the Fan Yanglu family gets the status of the clan, they can overwhelm all the aristocratic families in Shandong. But now, even if he says that he is from the clan, he can only attract others.

It's just a sarcasm, yes! Even today's emperor has not admitted it, so how can he claim to be a member of the clan?

"Haha, this is where the sect leader lives?" After a while, Lu Zhaoci, escorted by everyone, came to a huge square, about the size of five or six football fields. On both sides of the square there were

There are many shops, and right in front of the square is a huge mansion. Although it looks very quaint, what kind of person Lu Zhaoci is, these external things can only show the background of the Lu family.

That's it, these are the wood that are made by talented people. Most of them are old wood excavated from the deep mountains in the southwest. Every root is worth thousands of gold. Not every aristocratic family can make it. Only the Cui family and the Lu family have thousands of years of experience.

Only an aristocratic family could have such ability. But Lu Zhaoci frowned at this time. He didn't like this place, especially when he saw the dilapidated houses outside the fort, he felt sick in his heart.

As members of the same clan, the patriarch can live in such a beautiful and gorgeous house, while other clans can only live in dilapidated thatched houses. What a difference. Lu Zhaoci is extremely resentful of Lu Kuan, a clan member.

No matter how many sweet words he said, it still couldn't change the fact that Lu Kuan belonged to an old and decadent old family. The existence of such a person can only destroy the peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty. If such a person becomes a clan member

, then the clan of the Tang Dynasty would be worthless and would be criticized by the world. At this time, Lu Zhaoci felt that he had the reputation of being a foresight. If everything was as the courtiers said, Fan Yang's clan would also be included in the clan.

If so, maybe Fan Yang belongs to the Lu family, and the imperial village was opened for the first time. Just like during the Ming Dynasty, those princes owned tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and did not pay any attention to the ordinary people at the bottom.

Living a miserable life and becoming a worm of the empire, it can be seen that even if Lu Zhaoci once again granted Fan Yang a large amount of land to the Lu family, these lands would still only be able to benefit Lu Kuan and others, but not those of Lu Zhaoci.

The branch members of the family have benefited from it. Those who are in poverty are still in poverty, and those who are rich are still rich.

"Haha, Your Majesty came all the way to summon the tribal leaders on the grassland. I thought that other places were not suitable, so I made the decision on my own and let Your Majesty live in my house." Lu Kuan said with a smile.

"Then where does your family live?" Lu Zhaoci nodded and asked with a smile, with a hint of concern in his words.

"Haha, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. I have a house in the fort, and it's okay for hundreds of people to live there." Lu Kuan pointed to the side again, and saw a large house not far away. It was obvious that

That was where Lu Kuan temporarily lived.

"Haha! Okay, what a great place!" Lu Zhaoci laughed and said, "However, clan leader, I'm afraid you don't understand a little! Every time I go out, I never live in people's homes, but in military camps.

, the military camp is the place where the emperor can feel most at ease! As for this place, it is still reserved for the clan leader to live in!"

"Your Majesty, these tribal leaders' meeting is a state matter!" Lu Kuan said anxiously.

"I summoned them just to promote the country's prestige. If there is no military camp, how can we promote the country's prestige?" Lu Zhaoci pointed at the tall building in front of him and sneered: "Is this all? No, those barbarians will not think that this house

How difficult it is to build and how much it costs. No matter how tall and majestic the house you build is, how magnificent it is, they only focus on one thing, and that is knives and arrows. All power lies in steel knives and arrows.

Within the bow and arrow, for a country, I believe this sentence. I believe Patriarch Lu also has this idea. The reason why these aristocratic families can become aristocratic families is that they are superior to those small aristocratic families and ordinary people.

There is nothing more than the strength in your hands. All power comes from the strength in your hands. If you don’t have strength in your hands, no matter how magnificent the house you build, it will eventually become something in the hands of others. Likewise, no matter how beautiful my palace is,

How towering it is, but if my soldiers can't do it, these palaces and these properties will eventually be given to the barbarians, so I simply summoned those barbarians in the military camp, and I just wanted to let them see me.

The Tang Dynasty has a strict demeanor. To see the mighty and majestic troops of the Tang Dynasty, I want them to see how elite the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are. Whoever dares to disobey will be killed by his clan.

, Destroy their country. Lu Qing, this is to govern the country. Poems and books are of little use to those barbarians. Only swords and guns can make them submit." Lu Zhaoci's words were murderous, and he added a sound of imperial majesty.

It was obvious at this moment that Lu Kuan was the first to bear the brunt, and his face was extremely pale with fear.

"My humble knowledge makes Your Majesty laugh." Lu Kuan's lips trembled and he hurriedly spoke in a low voice.

"Haha, I know everything Patriarch Lu has done for me. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation." Lu Zhaoci patted Lu Kuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Ah!" Lu Kuan's eyes lit up and he looked at Lu Zhaoci with joy in his eyes. Finally he couldn't help but knelt on the ground with excitement and cried loudly. He had been looking forward to this day for so many days and nights.

The Fanyang Lu family will continue to prosper because of this incident, and will definitely be the number one clan in the world for hundreds of years. Lu Kuan has this confidence.

It's a pity that he didn't raise his eyebrows at this moment, otherwise, he would definitely have noticed the weirdness and indifference in Lu Zhaoci's eyes at this moment. The emperor is not something anyone can design. At the very least,

, you, a small Lu clan, can’t do it. According to your greedy nature, once you take the name of the clan, you will not become the first tyrant of Fanyang. The reputation of the empire will be completely eroded by you moths.

Jing, not to mention, when did the name of the Lu family appear in the Tang Dynasty? There was only one Lu family in the Tang Dynasty, and that was the emperor of Chang'an. As for the others, they would all be side branches. Most fundamentally, they

They are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, followed by the Lu clan.

It is a pity that Lu Kuan does not understand this. How can Lu Kuan, who has been dazzled by the wonderful future in the future, understand what the art of the emperor is. More importantly, the emperor Lu Zhaoci is different from any previous emperor.

Emperors are all different. Previous emperors valued their clans and regarded them as the pillars of the court, but Lu Zhaoci was different. There were many pillars of the court, but they were definitely not clans. A clan like Lu Kuan only

He could be a moth in the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, the camp is ready and waiting for your Majesty's arrival." At this moment, Zhou Qing came over on a war horse and said to Lu Zhaoci. When Lu Kuan on the other side heard this, he secretly cursed himself for being stupid.

If he knew that Lu Zhaoci was going to rest in the camp, he would not do such a thing and let others make jokes out of thin air.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's go back to the camp!" Lu Zhaoci said without thinking.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to the camp at this time?" Lu Kuan's expression changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say: "I have prepared some meals in the mansion, and there are elders in the clan who are also waiting for your Majesty's summons.

It would not be too late for Your Majesty to return to the camp after having a meal, so that the clansmen can be imbued with a bit of royal nobility." There was a trace of sadness on Lu Kuan's face, and there was a light of prayer in his eyes.

Lu Zhaoci was resting in the camp outside the city. If others knew about it, they would not say anything about Lu Kuan, because the emperor had prepared it long ago. But if the emperor did not even eat a meal when he arrived at the main sect,

If you don't meet the elders of the clan, then others will talk to you, the clan leader. They will think that Lu Kuan, the clan leader, is incompetent, or that he offended the emperor in some way, and the emperor caused trouble even for the clan.

Not entering.

"Haha, Lu Danghu didn't know something. He knew that His Majesty was out on the march and that everything he ate was the same as the soldiers. Although Your Majesty came to worship the ancestors today, he lived in the military camp, so all His Majesty's expenses

They must all be the same as the soldiers, this is the rule set by His Majesty back then." At this time, Zu Ming on the side explained with a smile.

"Only by working together can we defeat powerful enemies! I have been invincible in all these years and have been invincible in all battles. What I have relied on are these soldiers who are loyal to me. Without them, there would be no Datang today." Lu Zhaoci took over the words.

, explained lightly. His words were filled with a hint of pride.

"Yes, yes." Lu Kuan nodded repeatedly, with a look of agreement on his face, but only he knew what he was thinking. For an old fox like him, it is impossible for others to know what he is thinking.

Got it.

"Okay, that's it for today!" Lu Zhaoci nodded and said to Zhou Qing on the side: "Zhou Qing, has there been any news from General Hussar?"

"Oh! Exactly." Zhou Qing was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said quickly. But the look on his face made everyone know that these words were just excuses.

"Then let's go!" Lu Zhaoci said calmly: "As long as Patriarch Lu cooperates with the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, I will naturally come to worship our ancestors in the future." After saying that, he ignored Lu Kuan and rode away, followed by the imperial guards around him.

The guards followed closely behind, the horses rumbled, and soon disappeared from everyone's eyes. Only Lu Kuan with a look of dementia was left behind.

"Patriarch, why is the emperor missing? He didn't even enter the ancestral temple." An elder, leaning on a walking stick with a look of displeasure on his face, looked at Lu Kuan and said, "Did you say that during the memorial?

What shouldn't have been said? His Majesty Long was unhappy and didn't even enter the ancestral temple." Speaking of which, this elder was Lu Kuan's uncle and had a high prestige in the family. The Lu family finally had an emperor, but this

The emperor refused to recognize the sect, which made the old man very angry and helpless. Finally, the emperor appeared in Fan Yang this time to worship his ancestors. This made the old man feel that the opportunity was coming, and he had planned it.

When many clan members were summoned by the emperor, they begged in person to enter the clan genealogy. From then on, everyone in the Fanyang Lu family had clan members, which were recorded in the records and became a veritable clan.

Who would have thought that the emperor did not even enter the ancestral temple, and did not even have a chance to meet with everyone. He left Wubao in a hurry and returned to the military camp outside the city. This made the old man very depressed and surprised.

Immediately, he breathed all his breath on Lu Kuan. If it hadn't been in public, the old man would have hit Lu Kuan with the crutch in his hand.

Poor Lu Kuan had a hint of bitterness on his face. Even he himself didn't know where he had offended the emperor. He was also an old fox. How could he not know that what the emperor just said was a lie? Then he must have said it wrong.

What words made the emperor extremely unhappy? That's why he did this. Not only did he not give himself face in public, but he also refused to give Lu family face in front of the people of the world. If this matter spreads out, the emperor enters Fan Yang.

They don't even enter the ancestral temple of the Lu family in Fan Yang. They must only enter the ancestral temple when they are offering sacrifices to their ancestors. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that if the emperor didn't see that the ancestral temple is in Fan Yang, he might not even enter the ancestral temple of Fan Yang? Once word spreads

If he goes out, Lu's reputation will plummet, and he, the clan leader, will become a laughing stock.

"This, this, my nephew really doesn't know!" Lu Kuan was so worried that he almost cried. This matter is the matter of the entire Lu family. If others know that he has ruined the big thing, I am afraid that the entire Lu family will not know.

Let go of yourself.
