"Uncle, don't worry. His Majesty just said something, and he will naturally give us an explanation for the Lu family. He also said that the family is the foundation of the royal family." Lu Kuan said with a hint of bitterness on his face, half truthfully.

: "I think the emperor will definitely make a decision after the sacrifice. As for why he doesn't rest in the clan, that's because His Majesty is out on the march and mostly lives with the soldiers and shares the joys and sorrows with them. The reason why the Tang Dynasty has

Today, "It is also because of these soldiers that your Majesty trusts them and lives in the camp. Those soldiers are also willing to protect their king."

"Nonsense." The old man said coldly: "This world belongs to our Lu family. The emperor should live in the palace. How can he live with those warriors? The warriors are ferocious and violent. What if there is something wrong?

"Shen, what's the point of attacking in anger? What's the point of the emperor not living in the clan, but living with those warriors?" The old man was very angry. He was about to die. Before, he only thought about it.

He was a member of the Lu clan, but now that there was an emperor among the Lu clan, he thought that when he was a member of the Lu clan, it had the words "Mr. So-and-so" or even "King so-and-so" written on it. In his opinion, "At this age, he is the emperor."

Considering his age, he would at least give him preferential treatment. "So he confidently made a request to the emperor." But now it's better. The emperor doesn't want to see him at all. He doesn't even have a chance to meet. How can he ask the emperor?

Require?

"Uncle, I begged him the day after tomorrow and left." Lu Kuan's face changed slightly and he said, "Just now, Your Majesty saw that there are differences among the people in the clan, and there are also many people in the side branches who are in ragged clothes."

People may feel unhappy because of this matter."

"Side branches?" The old man's expression changed and he said, "Every family has side branches, even the royal family. Isn't that the case with King Liang? It's just that the side branches of the royal family are much better than the side branches of the clan.

Gone. But thousands of years later, aren’t the branches of the royal family the same as the branches of the clan? Will the emperor consider those branches of the royal family? Is it necessary to devote all the efforts of the world to support the branches of the entire royal family?

Get up? The royal family may have this ability, but the clan does not. The emperor is wise and wise, and he will not fail to understand this truth. Well, he must have other intentions." The old man sighed deeply.

"Brother, the day after tomorrow, we will beg your Majesty again and leave." Another old man walked over tremblingly on crutches and said: "The emperor will not be ignorant of human feelings and sophistication." This was not even a single Lu.

Literal.

Haha, side branch, authentic one. If possible, what if we give up the position of the Lu family’s authentic branch to the Huoyi branch? As long as the Huoyi branch becomes the Lu family’s authentic branch, they will accept us, even though we have become a side branch.

, but in the end it is a branch of the royal family. There is a big difference. "We can also make each of us a king," each of us can be made a county king, a prince, etc." And the Lu family will also become the best family in the world. Isn't this right?

Isn't it more bright than the head of a small aristocratic family?" The old man's eyes showed a hint of clarity, and his face was full of smiles.

"Yes, fifth brother understands this truth." "The old man in front nodded when he heard this, and said: "The authentic status he has just acquired will not treat me poorly."

"That's right. My nephew will go and report to His Majesty right now to give up the position of Fan Yang Zongzong and make Huo Yi the Lu family's Zongzong." Lu Kuan's eyes lit up, but soon he showed a trace of sadness, thinking that he would be in charge of Fan Yang Lu's team.

I don't know how many years have passed since the clan, but now I can only give up the position of Fan Yang's clan." Although Lu Zhaoci will definitely not treat him badly in the future, for him, it is better to be the leader of the Lu clan!

"Give it up, give it up, you will get something if you give up!" The old man comforted with a smile: "The reason why our Lu family became a big family in Guandong is not because of our position in the sect, but because of our reputation. Even if we become a side branch,

, but in other people's mouth, every time they think of the Lu family, they think of the Fanyang Lu family, not the Huoyi Lu family. The main sect and the side branches are just the same name. But if you want to think of the main sect,

"Of course we are just a side branch." But how can a side branch of the royal family be comparable to a family? Apart from anything else, Fanyang County has to listen to us. No one in the world dares to give face to our Youyan Hall if we get the banner. As long as we

As the strength of the sect has expanded, what difference does the name of our sect make!" A trace of pride appeared on the old man's face.

"What you pay is just a name, but what you get are inestimable benefits!" The slightly younger old man also nodded and said: "As for the position of the clan leader," he is just a member of the sect.

Clan leader and branch leader, you just need to remain the leader of your clan, Your Majesty will not deal with matters within the clan."

"Yes, that's right." Lu Kuan's face improved a lot. "Where is Fan Yang? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Could it be that your emperor is far away in Chang'an or Luoyang? Do you still want to take care of me, Fan Yang?"

What is the sect? What is the sect? It must be recognized by the world. Although you are the emperor, you can't change the fact that you are from a sideline of the Huoyi Lu family and can never become the sect. And I

It's different. As long as I get the name of a branch of the royal family, Fanyang County is still not up to me. The fertile land can continue to expand. Within the Lu family, the rights can continue to expand. It is far better than a family with the name of the family.

It's much better to have a head but can't take care of the affairs of the clan. When he thought of this, Lu Kuan's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and even his bones felt much lighter.

"Then head, hurry up and go." There was a hint of pride in the old man's eyes. He seemed to be proud that he had given the head of the tribe such a good idea.

"Okay, nephew, go right away.

"Lu Kuan nodded repeatedly. He tremblingly got on the carriage beside him and chased after the imperial guards outside the castle.

"Second brother, do you really want to give up the position of our sect?" The slightly younger old man took a deep breath and said, "I think your majesty's thoughts are not above this sect of the Lu family.

But it lies with me, Mr. Lu."

"Of course it is." The old man snorted coldly: "Lu Kuan's branch has been the leader of the clan for so long. Look, the main branch has been replaced and the side branch has been weakened! Your Majesty is angry in your heart. Wasn't Huo Yi's branch the leader of the clan?

Did I drive him out? Hehe, but I didn't expect that a big shot would come out of that one. And this Lu Kuan is even more stupid, he really wants to take advantage of the throne. That throne is so easy to take advantage of.

"Is that so? And he attacked Fan Yang when the emperor didn't recognize him. What qualifications does he have? If someone hadn't interceded," if the emperor hadn't been afraid of people in the world talking, he would have killed him long ago. Let this kind of person come.

Managing the Lu family, the Lu family in the future will definitely be like Cui Pang, also submerged in the long river of history. The Lu family, only the Lu family that integrates into the royal family can prosper and become the best family in the world. Lu Kuan only thinks about it

He has power but does not know the prosperity of his family. How can such a person be the leader of the clan?"

"Yes, brother said it is absolutely true." The old man next to him nodded and said, "Now let's see if today's emperor will agree. If he doesn't agree, it may be a little difficult."

"Don't worry, the emperor will agree." The old man said with a smile: "The Fan Yanglu family has huge assets." If it were the Fan Yanglu family, the empire would be more prosperous. How could the emperor disagree? Look at Jiangnan and Hanzhong today

Why did they rebel? It wasn't because the emperor was overthrown by the emperor. The emperor promoted the imperial examination, "opened schools, and valued the poor men." The aristocratic families in Guanzhong were surrounded by heavy troops because they were located in Guanzhong, and there were people in the court, so they didn't want to rebel. The aristocratic families in Guanzhong were all suppressed by the emperor.

After being dismembered, their strength has weakened a lot, but what about Jiangnan? And what about the Bashu area in Hanzhong? The aristocratic families there have not been dismembered, so they dare to collude with the rebels and create such a big momentum. Your Majesty came to Fanyang, of course, for

Transmitting one's own information to the outside world is used to stabilize people's hearts, but to another extent, it is also to show an attitude to the world, that is, to get close to the aristocratic family and see if he still adopts a wooing attitude towards the aristocratic family. Now I, Fan Yanglu,

How could he not accept the kindness offered?"

"That's the same truth." The old man next to him nodded and said: "We are all old. We just want to have some honor and mourning after death. I think the emperor will agree to it." It turned out that these old guys said what they said.

The "high-sounding" thing is actually all for their own consideration. For these people, they don't think much about their family and country at all.

"Actually, even if the emperor goes to war with our Lu family, it doesn't matter. As long as we can become a clan, isn't the land in the world the land of our Lu family? Isn't the world's money the property of our Lu family?" The old man sneered: "The world belongs to the Lu family.

It belongs to our Lu family. There is nothing that does not belong to our Lu family. To gain something big by sacrificing something small, Lu Kuan understands this very well. If he did not understand this, he would not have gone to the emperor so excitedly.

Already.".

"Let's go! Second brother," we should also prepare for the grand ceremony the day after tomorrow. The emperor is offering sacrifices to our ancestors. The scene is grand. Our Lu family is really famous in the world this time." The old man's face showed a glimmer of glory. No matter what the outcome, just

This is enough to make people excited for a long time.

"That's right, that's right. Inform the children of each family to get ready. After the day after tomorrow, there will definitely be a prelude for you. This is a shortcut!" The old man on the side nodded repeatedly, his voice was loud, and the surroundings

Everyone in the Lu clan could hear it, and it soon spread throughout the square. The whole square was boiling with excitement, and they all went home to prepare not to mention it.

In the military camp outside the city, Lu Zhaoci was sitting behind the imperial case. Qin Jiudao and others were guarding him. Zu Ming and other generals also lowered their heads and said nothing, for fear of disrupting Lu Zhaoci's thinking. Since Lu Zhaoci's resignation

After Lu's Wubao came back, he never spoke, but Zu Ming on the other side knew that "Lu Zhaoci felt uncomfortable at this moment."

As one of the leaders, he naturally knew that there was no news about the so-called Xu Shiji at all. All of this was an excuse to let Lu Zhaoci return to the military camp earlier. Why did Lu Zhaoci give up living in Lu's Wubao? This

There must be a reason, but no one knows what the reason is, not even Zu Ming [Written Nuoqiu.com Update] knows.

"Qin Jiudao, go and find out how much land, how much money, how many servants, and how many wives and concubines the people in charge of the Lu family have." There was a trace of anger in Zhang Bairen's eyes.

A hint of coldness came, and Zu Ming secretly looked at it, and felt surprised in his heart. This situation is enough to show that today's people are quite dissatisfied with the Lu family.

"According to the decree." There was a hint of coldness in Qin Jiudao's eyes. As the emperor's eyes and ears, he had followed the emperor for a long time, so he naturally understood what the emperor meant. He turned around and walked out of the tent, and ordered the Jin Yiwei to inquire about everything about the Lu family.

Don't mention it.

"Your Majesty, Fan Yang's Lu family and Lu Kuan are outside the tent asking to see Your Majesty." At this moment, soldiers outside the tent came to report.

"Haha, Your Majesty, I'm afraid Lu Kuan is afraid of his son." Zu Ming bravely said: "Your Majesty just made a scene in Lu's [Square], but it scared Lu Kuan to death. At this time, he can't wait any longer.

Come and beg for mercy.”

"Don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality!" Lu Zhaoci said lightly: "Look at the Lu family's Wubao. It is built in a well-proportioned manner, and there is a difference between closeness and distance! In the middle is the clan leader's residence, and then there is the clan leader's residence.

The closest people are Pang'an in the end. On the outside, although they are also surnamed Lu, their status may not be as good as that of the slaves of the Lu Kuan family! These people are also members of the Lu clan. Zu Ming, if my grandfather is still here,

In Fanyang, would it be the same as these branches of the Lu family? Are you right?"

"I don't dare to say this." Zu Ming's face stiffened, but he couldn't say it.

"The Lu family is huge. More than half of Fanyang City belongs to the Lu family. Such a large foundation only supports a small number of people." Lu Zhaoci snorted coldly: "Of course, a family cannot grow up to take care of such a large family.

"Too many clan members will last forever" will indeed drag down the family, but it is not like the Lu family in front of me, who uses the strength of the entire clan to support those few families. Look at how big and gorgeous Lu Kuan's mansion is.

Even the beams that support the house are huge trees transported from the mountains in the southwest, which cost more than ten thousand yuan! These things are enough to renovate the entire Wubao, and replace those thatched houses.

The houses have been turned into bricks and tiles. Do you want those tribesmen to live a slightly better life? It hurts themselves and harms the tribe! Do such tribesmen also want to join the clan and become a clan, so that they can continue to dominate Fan Yang?

"Lu Zhaoci's words were full of murderous intent. It was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with the Fan Yang Lu family.

"Your Majesty, this is the news from Jin Yiwei." At this moment, Qin Jiudao walked over cautiously, holding a stack of documents in his hand, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

"Bring it to me and take a look." Lu Zhaoci reached out to take it and turned it over casually. The murderous intent on his face became more and more serious. The cold light in his eyes caused the temperature in the tent to drop suddenly.

Everyone swallowed their saliva involuntarily and lowered their heads, but they did not dare to speak.

"Haha, all my clan members can become servants. If I stay in Fan Yang, will I also give him Lu Kuan's title?" Lu Zhaoci held the document in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but this smile was so

The coldness was so cold. Everyone in the big tent couldn't help but feel a little pity for Lu Kuan.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon across the country. Although the clan has declined, we have to admit that in the empire, the most basic level is not the county government, but the clan leader. Among the clans, the clan leaders

The elders hold great power in the clan, ranging from regulating disputes to judging clan members. In fact, the clan leader is a small earth emperor in some places, and the life and death of the clan members are controlled by the clan leader."

Therefore, the clan leader has great power. Some people would rather be a small clan leader than become an official in the court. In the clan, he can enjoy everything. Although Lu Kuan was demoted, he still has great power in Fan Yang.

Powerful.

"Your Majesty, is Lu Kuan still waiting outside?" Zu Mingxiao reminded carefully.

"Let him go back. I am discussing military and state affairs. How can he see it when he can see it?" Lu Zhaoci snorted coldly. He said more: "A Xiaoxiao clan leader actually wants to become a clan member. Is it because his surname is Lu?

?There are so many people named Lu in the world? Do I have to regard them as clan members?"

"Yes, General Mo will let him go now." Zu Ming said quickly.

"Your Majesty, clans have been like this since ancient times." Zhou Qing persuaded on the side: "The same is true for my clan. The main clan is very rich, but only the side branch is very poor. When I was a child, I saw people from the side branch.

It is given to the current person of the main clan. Although it is related by blood, in fact, there is no family relationship at all. In the clan, the patriarch always has the greatest power. They form the family elders and handle the affairs of the family.

, sometimes, although the laws of the empire exist, within the family, the laws of the court are sometimes of no use. The patriarch and the family elders are the biggest, and they use various methods to maintain their power. This

This is probably the reason for the Lu family’s original sect.”

"There is so much land, but they told me that there is no way to feed the side branches, so they are divided. It is really ridiculous." Lu Zhaoci showed a trace of disgust in his eyes. He snorted coldly: "I used to do that back then.

I have repeatedly issued an order to re-measure the land throughout the country, and the family is not allowed to occupy a large amount of land." Now, luckily, the Lu family actually occupies more than half of the land in Fanyang County. It is really audacious. If I don't dismember the Lu family, Fan Yang is still mine.

The world?" No one in the big tent dared to speak, and could only hear Lu Zhaoci's roar. Outside the big tent, Lu Kuan's face was pale, and his mouth was trembling as he looked at the Chinese army's tent not far away.
