When the girls heard what Lu Yi said, their expressions suddenly changed.
They never thought that Lu Yi would be willing to give up the position of Lord of Jiangdong to Zhuge Liang!
Zhuge Liang has nothing to do with them.
Only Zhuge Ruoxue is related.
However, facing Lu Yi's serious face, the girls swallowed their words one after another.
How can I dissuade this?
Since following him, everyone knows that although he is easy to talk to, he never listens to others when it comes to important matters.
All the girls could only remain silent.
Lu Yi made arrangements for the succession of the head of the Lu family and the head of Jiangdong, and then said to Lu Qiling: "There is also news from your father."
Lu Qiling's expression perked up, she recovered from the slight disappointment just now, and said hurriedly: "What's wrong with dad?"
Lu Yi waved to Lu Qiling, pulled her aside to sit down, and talked about Lu Bu in the employment letter.
Lu Qiling smiled from ear to ear.
She really didn't expect that her father would suddenly undergo such a big change.
After Lu Yi, Lu Qiling and others finished chatting, they left the yard and asked the housekeeper, Uncle Tao, to find a servant to cook some more exquisite vegetarian dishes and took them to the outskirts of Fuchun County on horseback.
There, Sun Ren and Sun Quan were mourning Mrs. Wu in the thatched cottage.
Seeing Lu Yi approaching, Sun Quan hurriedly stood up, greeted him, saluted and said, "Marquis Wu!"
Sun Ren also rushed over and asked, "Why are you here?"
Lu Yi touched Sun Ren's head, handed over some vegetarian dishes and said: "In a few days, I will go on an expedition. Thinking that I won't be able to see you for a long time, I asked Uncle Tao to find someone to make some vegetarian dishes for you. Send it here."
Sun Ren was startled and said: "You are the lord of Jiangdong, why do you always go out to fight? How dangerous!"
Sun Quan raised his head and looked at Lu Yi.
Facing Lu Yi's gaze, he lowered his head in fear.
Lu Yi carried the vegetarian dishes to the thatched cottage and served them to the two of them personally while saying: "Jiangdong now has three states, hundreds of counties and counties under its jurisdiction, and countless aristocratic families."
"The interests of every aristocratic family are inconsistent."
"I used to hate these aristocratic families so much that I even wanted to destroy them all."
"But later, I finally discovered that this world is composed of aristocratic families."
"The aristocratic family is composed of noble families and countless ordinary people."
"It cannot be completely destroyed, at least within a few generations."
"After these aristocratic families are destroyed, a new aristocratic family will be born."
"Currently, the only effective way is to use aristocratic families to restrain each other."
He asked Sun Ren and Sun Quan to sit down and placed two bowls of vegetarian dishes in front of them. Lu Yi sat across from them, looked at them and said, "This is the reason why your brother will die young."
"He underestimated the power of the aristocratic family."
Sun Ren shook his head and said, "I don't want to know this."
Lu Yi laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't listen. I'm listening to Zhongmou."
Sun Quan murmured hurriedly: "Wu Hou, I absolutely have no objections."
Lu Yi exhaled and said, "That's not what I meant."
"After this expedition, I will remove the Lu family from around you. From now on, you will be free."
"After all, if I die in battle during this expedition, and if I still tie you to the Lu family, the rest of the Lu family may not be able to support you like this. So, I will let you go, and you will have to be independent in the future."
"Of course, if you really want to revive your Sun family again, that's fine. After all, if I die, I won't care what happens after I die."
Sun Quan hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks, prostrated in the tunnel and said, "I don't dare!"
Lu Yi laughed, helped Sun Quan up and said, "I'm serious, you can do this, I won't do anything to you again."
Sun Quan continued to crawl on his knees.
Lu Yi didn't care about him anymore, but continued: "I came here this time to reveal my heart to you."
"If you really want to restore the Sun family, it's your business. I won't stop you."
"But, I came here today specifically to tell you that the position of Lord of Jiangdong is not so easy to achieve."
"If the restoration is unsuccessful, next time, your Sun family may not even have a single person left."
Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Lu Yi said: "After all, other people are not me, and I will not let you go easy on your family's past contributions and Ren'er's face."
"As you can probably guess, many people have advised me to eliminate the root cause."
Sun Ren bit his lip and did not dare to speak.
Sun Quan said tremblingly: "Thank you, Marquis Wu!"
Lu Yi said: "I don't want you to thank me, I want you to understand that the so-called recovery of the Sun family and regaining the position of Lord of Jiangdong has no meaning. After my expedition this time, I have left a message that once I die on the battlefield, The position of Lord of Jiangdong will not be left to my children, but to Zhuge Liang."
Sun Quan raised his head and looked at Lu Yi in shock.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Don't understand?"
Sun Quan met Lu Yi's gaze and hurriedly lowered his head again.
Lu Yi said: "Actually, it's easy to understand."
"People, don't be too greedy for power."
"My children will not be the Lord of Jiangdong, but I have made contributions to Jiangdong. I may even die fighting for Jiangdong. Those wealthy families of the century, in order to protect themselves and to launch a better Lord of Jiangdong, they also I have to treat my children well."
"My children may not be able to hold high positions and be well paid, but they can easily live in prosperity and wealth for generations to come."
"But if I have to leave the position of Lord of Jiangdong to my children, especially if I am away, they are young and do not have the ability."
"Then, my descendants will become puppets, and eventually even the whole family will be wiped out."
"The position of Lord of Jiangdong does not belong to us. In fact, it belongs to the aristocratic family."
"These aristocratic families need someone who can protect their interests."
"This is the meaning of the existence of the Lord of Jiangdong or the Lord of the World."
Pointing to the north, Lu Yi smiled and said, "The same is true for the Emperor."
"Dynasty changes, especially at the end, do you really think the emperor is incompetent?"
"Before the dynasty changed, there were many incompetent emperors, but the dynasty still existed."
"Why can't we tolerate the existence of the late emperor?"
"The reason is very simple. The aristocratic family that controls the entire world has changed."
"The old aristocratic families have declined or even perished. The new aristocratic families need new people with a clear face to represent their interests and stabilize their interests, so new people with a clear face have appeared."
"So, the so-called Lord of Jiangdong, no matter how fiercely you and I fight, it's just a joke."
"Those aristocratic families are watching us fight like a monkey performing."
"Especially when your Sun family thought that this Jiangdong was their Jiangdong, this was the biggest joke."
"I never think that Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of the Lu family."
"Furthermore, this time, I chose to go out in person to show my courage to these aristocratic families."
"If I succeed, then I can sit in this position longer in the future and buy more time for the Lord of Jiangdong behind me, so that I can subtly change the family and change it in the direction I want."
"Because, my success makes these aristocratic families dare not easily look for new people with a bright face."
"It's not that easy to find a person with a clear face who can give them stable interests."
"If I fail, I will die on the battlefield, but I can still gain dignity and let them treat my descendants well."
"If we fail and return, Jiangdong will also fall into chaos."
"Those aristocratic families no longer trust me, so they want to find a new person to replace me."
"I can fight with them for a while, but my descendants cannot defeat the descendants of the great families that have been passed down from generation to generation."
"In the end, there is only one ending for me, and that is that my descendants and people will be completely wiped out."
"Look at the royal families throughout the dynasties, how many of their close relatives have been passed down?"
Lu Yi spread his hands and smiled bitterly at Sun Quan: "Did you see that? You see, I am so glamorous. In fact, in the final analysis, I am also a small person. I cannot do whatever I want, but I have to contribute to myself, future generations, and the future." That which gives birth to life.”
"On the contrary, if you are an ordinary person, although you are usually mediocre, you can live a more stable and longer life."
"That's what I want to say to you today."
"If you still want to seek the position of Lord of Jiangdong for the Sun family, you need to face this extremely cruel result."
Looking at Sun Ren, Lu Yi said softly: "The reason why I am willing to tell you so much is because I don't want Ren'er to be implicated by you."
"I had a dream before."
Sun Ren asked curiously: "What dream?"
Lu Yi said in a hoarse voice: "I dreamed that Zhongmou took over your brother's position as the Lord of Jiangdong. Then, Ren'er, you were forced to marry a man who was decades older than you. In the end, you were put under house arrest by Zhongmou. Then he threw himself into the river."
Sun Ren looked at Sun Quan in shock, forced a smile and said, "It's just a dream."
Lu Yi smiled, dusted himself off, and said to Sun Quan, "Think about it yourself."
"A person's life spans only a few decades."
"It's time to live your life."
"In order to become a puppet of a wealthy family, you would suffer a lot of blood and even kill all your relatives around you. In the end, you would only become the laughing stock of a wealthy family."
"In the eyes of the century's rich people, we people are actually pretty much the same. We are just a bunch of monkeys."
"Live and fight for their interests."
"Death is like garbage on the ground, thrown away casually, and no one will give it a second glance."
After Lu Yi finished speaking, he walked to the horse, got on the horse and said, "From now on, Zhongmou, you are free."
Lu Yi was ready to ride away.
Sun Quan suddenly stood up and said, "I, I want to be with you!"
Lu Yi turned around in confusion.
Sun Quan's body trembled slightly and said: "I, I think, I think I can learn a lot from you. I think, I want to follow you and see clearly the faces of these aristocratic families. I want to follow you, even as a servant. . I want to see from you how to live for yourself and live a more exciting life."
Sun Ren whispered: "Second brother, I feel that you are afraid of him. Although, I don't think he is scary at all. Why are you so afraid of him, why do you still follow him?"
Sun Quan lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I, I think what he said makes sense, and I also think that he, he might not be that scary after all. When I grew up, no one taught me this, not even when my father was alive. Or , He, he is really, really the person who may be the best to me besides you, my sister."
Lu Yi looked at Sun Quan quietly.
After a while, Lu Yi said: "You should keep a good mourning first! If I don't die during this expedition, you will stay with me when I come back. If I die, you will leave here, leave Wu County, and go far away. "
"The further you go, the less vigilant the Century Clan will be against you."
"I think you are a smart person."
"Even if these are troubled times, as long as you can figure out how to live, you can live well."
