My game can make money starting from the Three Kingdoms period.

Lu Xun told him everything about Lu Ji's situation.

Lu Congtian was horrified.

Let him be the head of the family?

Generally speaking, whoever holds the most power in a family is the head of the family line.

Previously, the head of the Lu family in Wu County was Lu Ji, the son of Lu Kang. After Lu Kang's death, Lu Xun, due to his age advantage, took over the position of head of the family for his uncle, Lu Ji.

Previously, Sun Quan had just succeeded Sun Ce and was unable to stabilize Jiangdong, so he urgently needed the support of powerful families.

With its pillar gone, the Lu family needed to find a patron. Thus, Lu Xun had no choice but to defy public opinion and force the Lu family to attach themselves to the Sun family, with whom he had a deep-seated feud.

Now, thanks to Lu Xun's revenge, the Lu family of Wu Commandery has avenged their previous humiliation.

The clansmen then moved to Jiangling.

On his way to Jiangling, Lu Ji was captured by Sun Quan due to betrayal by his subordinates.

To vent his anger, Sun Quan blamed the loss of Jingzhou, the loss of Lü Meng, and the defeat at Hefei on the Lu family's rebellion.

So he killed Lu Ji to vent his anger and to set an example for others.

Although Lu Xun has now joined Liu Bei's service, his rank is not high; he is a military advisor.

Lu Congtian has officially recognized his ancestry and is now officially a member of the Lu clan of Wu Commandery. In addition, Lu Congtian has risen through the ranks due to his merits and is now the General of the Central Army of Nan Commandery.

According to the rules, Lu Congtian should be the head of this household.

Without a second thought, Lu Congtian refused outright, "Boyan, you can see that I am a cripple. How can I be the head of the family? Besides, I come from a lowly background. Even if I were the head of the family, many relatives would not accept me. If you insist, you are putting me in a very difficult position."

Lu Xun looked troubled.

Indeed, as Lu Congtian said.

People from prestigious families value the deep-rooted inferiority of their birth.

Lu Congtian is qualified to become the new head of the family, but behind his back, there will definitely be people who look down on Lu Congtian's background and mock his wife for being a slave.

A family needs unity, and this situation is definitely not acceptable.

At that time, Anu and her son will surely suffer unwarranted contempt, just as the Lu brothers were looked down upon by other students when they were young. Only now, the contempt will be directed at their background.

At that time, will Lu Congtian protect his family as the head of the family, or will he choose to be tolerant?

No matter what he did, Lu Congtian was in a difficult position, and Lu Xun could not mediate the conflict either.

Lu Congtian continued, "Judging from Boyan's talent, he is more than qualified to be the head of the family. Now that it is Qingming Festival, we can gather the clansmen to worship our ancestors and announce this to them."

"Uncle, how can I take on this role..."

Lu Congtian raised his hand to interrupt, "It's decided then. I will preside over the ancestral worship ceremony today. Boyan only needs to gather the clansmen."

Lu Xun was also considering Lu Congtian's situation, so he decided to obey rather than be overly respectful and said, "I will respectfully follow my uncle's arrangements."

The Lu family of Wu Commandery has now completely broken ties with Sun Quan.

Opinions on Lu Xun's rebellion and revenge are mixed.

Of course, most of the criticism came from aristocratic families who supported Sun Quan. Many more families praised Lu Xun's years of forbearance and his eventual act of revenge.

Lu Xun was also compared to Goujian, who endured hardship and humiliation to achieve his goal.

Therefore, Lu Xun gained Liu Bei's trust, which prevented his ambitions from being thwarted.

At this moment, Lu Xun noticed the drawing Lu Qian had made on the ground.

"Uncle, this is..." Lu Congtian is paralyzed, so it couldn't have been him who drew it.

Moreover, as a military officer, Lu Congtian would not have made such a basic mistake as leaking classified maps.

Lu Congtian smiled and said, "It was drawn by Lu Qian."

Lu Congtian then told Lu Xun the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun's eyes widened in astonishment, just as Lu Congtian had exclaimed earlier, "The one who can revive the family is none other than my younger brother Gonghe!"

Lu Xun gave it extremely high praise.

Lu Congtian was equally happy when his son was praised by others.

"I am of limited wisdom and talent, and am incapable of teaching my son. Strategist Kongming is too busy to teach my son strategy. I humbly request that you, Boyan, occasionally teach my son a thing or two in your spare time." Lu Congtian bowed sincerely.

Previously, Lu Congtian had only managed to persuade Lu Xun to defect.

Lu Xun, however, managed to take advantage of the slight time difference to launch a decisive attack on Sun Quan, and Lu Congtian knew that Lu Xun's abilities were far beyond his own.

If Lu Congshan hadn't died, perhaps he could have given him a run for his money.

If Lu Qian could receive guidance from Lu Xun, he would surely benefit greatly.

Lu Xun would certainly not refuse to cultivate such a promising talent for his family.

"We're all family, so it's only right. Uncles, there's no need to be so polite."

Lu Xun seemed to remember something and cupped his hands, saying, "I forgot to tell you, Uncle, that day in Zigui, you were the leader of the barbarian bandits who caused you to fall and later surrendered to us. He suddenly died yesterday."

Lu Congtian understood Lu Xun's meaning, and gratefully clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you."

"This is what a nephew should do."

Next, Lu Xun gathered the members of the Lu clan at Lu Congtian's courtyard.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to burn incense and worship ancestors, Lu Congtian publicly pushed Lu Xun into the position of family head.

With Lu Xun taking over as head of the household, everyone was overjoyed.

Next, they discussed the resettlement of the family members and children of the former head of the family, Lu Ji.

The excitement has subsided

Lu Congtian said to Anu, "Push me to see my mentor."

Anu asked curiously, "Sir, you've been very busy lately. Is there something important you need to do, my husband?"

Lu Congtian nodded. "I am now a cripple. How can I assume the position of Lieutenant General? Have you ever seen a general who cannot ride a horse?"

Anu pushed Lu Congtian out of the courtyard.

"Was it an instruction from our ancestors?"

Lu Congtian turned around and glanced at Anu in surprise.

"Madam guessed correctly. Our ancestor instructed: to become an official."

"Become an official?" Anu paused, then agreed, "Now that my husband can no longer fight, he can certainly take on a logistics position. Half a lifetime has passed, let's make some money, enjoy life, and lay a good foundation for our children."

"Does Madam want me to embezzle funds?"

Anu blinked her innocent eyes, "Officials who don't make money?"

"My lord's great cause is just beginning to take shape. How can I be a parasite? I must serve as an honest official, assist my lord with my achievements, and set an example for my children."

"This road must be difficult."

"Could anything be harder than riding a horse and fighting a war, risking your life?" Lu Congtian scoffed.

He refused to believe that he couldn't be an honest and upright official.

We went to Zhuge Liang's residence.

Although Zhuge Liang was busy, he still made time to visit Lu Congtian.

"Since Tian is injured and unable to move, he can simply send someone to inform him if needed."

Zhuge Liang ordered someone to take over the wooden cart and carry Lu Congtian into the main hall.

"Master, on the way here, I saw many more officials in the city. Has something important happened?"

Zhuge Liang did not hide anything, "Now that Jing and Yi have just been pacified, the officials have come to urge our lord to ascend the throne and declare himself king."

"Very good!"

Lu Congtian certainly hoped that the leadership would go further.

After all, if Liu Bei continued to hold the title of Left General, what would happen to Jingzhou? What would happen to Yizhou?

It should be noted that although Guan Yu was in charge of Jingzhou, his official position was only the Prefect of Xiangyang.

A prefect was in charge of a province, and Liu Bei did not have the greater power to appoint a governor or a provincial governor.

In addition, no one would complain about having a high official position; everyone wants to advance further.

Then Liu Bei had no choice but to follow in Cao Cao's footsteps, proclaim himself king, and establish a court of officials.

It can be said that Liu Bei had no choice but to take the step of becoming king. This was in line with the interests of everyone who assisted him.

Otherwise, if I follow you, the highest I can achieve is a prefect, while others have already been ennobled and appointed as prime ministers. How can that be acceptable?

Then look at Cao Cao. He set up imperial banners, used imperial guards when he went out, wore a royal crown with twelve tassels, rode in a golden carriage drawn by six horses, and had five auxiliary carriages for each hour.

At this time, Cao Cao was an emperor without the title of emperor!

The rule is that no one but someone of the Liu family can be king, but since Liu Bei's surname is Liu, he doesn't have this problem.

Therefore, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, Xu Jing, Fa Zheng, Li Yan and 120 others wrote to Liu Xie, recommending Liu Bei as the King of Hanzhong.
