Since ancient times, when facing some problems of taking sides, it is always easy to have many problems, especially when the prince was elected in ancient times, which is the most obvious, and the nine sons of the Kangxi period are the best examples, and those ministers who supported the wrong candidates eventually led to a life cry, so it can be seen that in the face of this kind of major issue of right and wrong, we must be cautious.
However, Lu Xun, a heroic figure in the late Wu dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, did not understand the truth of such a wise man to protect himself, and when he had already achieved fame in his later years, he still had to participate in the dispute over the establishment of the Sun family, so that Sun Quan wanted to kill Lu Xun regardless of the security of the country, which was really sad and regrettable.
01 Lu Xun's unfortunate early years
Lu Xun was born into a famous family, his father Lu Jun was once the governor of Jiujiang, but unfortunately died young, when Lu Xun was still young, his father had died, after which Lu Xun could only live with Lu Kang, Lu Kang was certainly not a simple person, that was the Lujiang City Taishou at that time.
After Lu Xun followed Lu Kang, Lu Kang taught him strictly, whether it was military or cultural achievements, it was very good, so Lu Xun knew military strategy and governing strategy very well from an early age, and these accumulations laid the foundation for him to gradually become a mainstay later.
In 194 AD, Sun Ce was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack Lujiang City, at this time Lujiang Taishou of Lujiang City was Lu Kang, the two armies were fighting, one side would suffer blows and losses, Sun Ce's fierceness, that is well known, Lu Kang encountered such a strong enemy, naturally it is very unlucky.
Under Sun Ce's poor pursuit, in less than 2 years, Lujiang was lost, and Lu Kang realized the seriousness of the matter before Lujiang fell, and placed Lu Xun, who was only 11 years old, to Wu County in advance, and he finally died in the war, leaving Lu Xun to continue the Lu family incense.
02 Lu Xun's road to fame
Originally, Lu Xun and Sun Ce's family can be said to have a feud with heaven, but later after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan recruited talents from all over the world, and Lu Xun, who had lofty ideals and ambitions, became one of Sun Quan's staff by chance.
However, at first, Sun Quan did not pay much attention to Lu Xun, thinking that this was just an ordinary person, so he put Lu Xun in charge of some civilian work, such as building a city, disaster relief and so on. Talent can never be buried, even if you do some such simple things, Lu Xun does a beautiful job, and gets the unanimous approval of the masses, so that Sun Quan has to look at him with disdain.
Sun Quan began to gradually reuse Lu Xun, the first of which was to unite with Cao Wei to attack Guan Yu, under Lu Xun's methodical command, the battle was finally a complete victory, Guan Yu was eventually defeated by Maicheng due to a momentary negligence, killed by the Wu army, and Sun Quan also got the Jingzhou territory he had always dreamed of.
Because of this battle, Lu Xun became famous in one fell swoop and was even more used by Sun Quan. In 222, Liu Bei, because Guan Yu's death had always been in his arms, he gathered a large army to take revenge, and as a result, he encountered Lu Xun's plan to burn the camp, and Liu Bei was extremely sad, not only did not avenge his brother Guan Yu, but also died in regret in the White Emperor City.
At this point, the situation in the Three Kingdoms gradually changed, Liu Bei of the Shu Kingdom died, and was succeeded by his son Liu Chan, assisted by Zhuge Liang, and the State of Wu was continued to be led by Sun Quan, and Lu Xun assisted, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms was once again stable, but it also became unstable in the darkness.
03 Death of Lu Xun
In 245, the state of Wu was already relatively stable, and there was a certain dispute over the matter of facing Sun Quan and Li Chu, when the crown prince Sun and Sun Ba, the prince of Lu, were constantly fighting for the position of prince, causing internal chaos, and Lu Xun, as a senior elder, although he did not mix in this matter at first, but later he really could not see it, and began to support Sun He.
With his support, the problem came, because he did not understand the true meaning of his boss Sun Quan, in fact, why did Sun Quan let the two fight? It is because Sun Quan has long been dissatisfied with Sun He, who is already the crown prince, and wants to change Sun Ba's position as crown prince, but he has not been able to find a suitable reason and opportunity to let the two fight for a while, and he can also see the ability of both sides.
It just so happened that Lu Xun sided with Sun He, who was not supported by Sun Quan, and Lu Xun, who already had the support of the people, made Sun Quan very embarrassed and even more inconvenient to change the crown prince. Since Lu Xun obstructed the matter of his own reserve, the only way was to get rid of him, otherwise the ministers who dared to manage his own family affairs would definitely not be able to control his own descendants after keeping him, so in the end Sun Quan had disregarded the interests of the state and must eliminate Lu Xun, and Lu Xun also died at the hands of his own people because he stood in the wrong team, and everything looked like a reincarnation, and people sighed endlessly.
04 Conclusion
In terms of human nature, more people still tend to be selfish, and everything prefers to consider themselves and their own children and grandchildren, which is very obvious in history, and a large part of the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang killed the founding heroes is that he is worried that his descendants will not be able to convince the public.
Since people have this kind of compassion, as a person in the depths of the rivers and lakes, they should all the more learn to protect themselves, and when facing some major issues of right and wrong, they must not casually express their opinions, let alone take sides to support or support anyone, because then, it is likely to become a tragic figure like Lu Xun, and Sun Quan will eliminate him even if he does not care about the interests of the country. In fact, apart from the 1 point of standing in the wrong line, it seems that there is no other way. However, a tragedy was staged like this, which made people feel infinitely emotional!
