Lu Xun was born in the Lu clan of Wu County, a family that flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and many high-ranking officials emerged from the clan. Lu Xun's grandfather Lu Lu was a lieutenant at the city gate, his father Lu Jun was a lieutenant in Jiujiang, and his uncle Lu Kang was a Lujiang Taishou.
When Lu Xun was young, his father died, and Lu Xun lived with his uncle Lu Kang. Lu Kang was later appointed by the imperial court as the Taishou of Lujiang, and Lu Xun grew up in Lujiang.
After the mourning at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lujiang was also unstable and stable. As the hub of the Yangtze River, it has been coveted by many warlords. Among them, Yuan Shu is the most powerful. Yuan Shu was in Huainan, Yangzhou, and urgently needed to control the Yangtze River to develop outward, and naturally set his sights on the Lu river.
Therefore, Yuan Shu sent his subordinate Sun Ce to attack Lujiang in a big way, and Lu Kang, who was then the taishou of Lujiang, led the sons of the clan to defend Lujiang. Under the long years of war, the children of the Lu clan suffered heavy losses, and more than a hundred ethnic groups were damaged by more than half. In the end, he failed to protect Lujiang County, and was captured by Sun Ce, and Lu Kang died of illness shortly after.
Lu Xun and Lu Ji and other remaining Lu family disciples were sent back to their hometown in Wu County. Lu Shi suffered this catastrophe, and he no longer had the glory of the past, and even had to push Out Lu Xun, who had just become an adult and was still young, to take charge of the portal.
The decaying Lu clan is not willing to accept the status quo and is eager to rise again. Just as Sun Ce swept across the Yangtze River, he gradually grew into an independent force in Jiangdong. The Lu clan saw this as an opportunity, so they put aside their old hatred and made Lu Ji stand out of the shogunate. However, Lu Xun himself did not give birth to Sun Ce, which shows that Lu Shi did not dare to completely bet on Sun Shi in the cruel chaotic world.
Lu Xunshi's Sun clan was several years late for Sun Quan to succeed Sun Ce, and by this time the Sun clan had stabilized control of Jiangdong and had become a real divided regime. Lu Xun became a confidant and a minion in Sun Quan's hands, and his career path was extremely smooth among the new generation of Jiangdong shiren.
Lu Xun continued to make contributions under sun's account, which was highly recognized by Sun Quan, who wanted to cultivate it into a humerus, so he wanted to establish a closer relationship with him, so he married Sun Ce's daughter to Lu Xun, and Sun Lu and the two clans married as in-laws.
Later, under the leadership of Lu Xun, the Jiangdong army successively attacked Jingzhou, won the Battle of Yiling, and yu Shiting took the throne and defeated Cao Xiu's southern invasion army. With great merit added to his body, Lu Xun continued to receive rewards from Sun Quan's officials, and he was in the limelight for a while.
After Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye, he left the crown prince Sun Deng and some of The Shang Shutai's institutions in Wuchang, and appointed Lu Xun as an assistant to the crown prince, in charge of the Wuchang Palace and supervising the affairs of Jingzhou. It was also at this time that Lu Xun intersected with The Crown Prince Sun Deng, and was absorbed by the Crown Prince as a henchman.
After Gu Yong's death, Lu Xun was even more promoted to the position of Eastern Wu Cheng Xiang, one person below ten thousand people.
However, the good times did not last long, and the crown prince Sun Deng died early, and Sun He was made crown prince. This led to a serious political crisis in Eastern Wu , the Dispute of the Two Houses. Sun He's prestige in the country was no better than that of Sun Deng in the past, and there were many people who disobeyed him as crown prince, and the elderly Sun Quan was extremely fond of another son, Sun Ba, the King of Lu, which led to the gradual division of the national ministers into two factions.
One faction, led by Lu Xun and other princes and grandsons, supported prince Sun He; the other faction, led by ministers such as Quan Chun and Bu Qi, supported Sun Ba, the King of Lu. The two parties attacked each other, and Eastern Wu was in chaos for a while.
Lu Xun got involved in it, and such an incident occurred--Yang Zhu and Sun Quan secretly talked about deposing the crown prince Sun He, and happened to be overheard by the palace people installed by Sun He. The palace people passed the news to Sun He, who hurriedly informed Lu Xun's nephew Lu Yin, who was on his way to Wuchang, that he wanted to persuade Lu Xun to keep his position as crown prince through Lu Yin.
When Lu Xun learned of this, he lamented that Sun Quan should not depose the crown prince and should clear the concubines. This made Sun Quan extremely dissatisfied--it was obviously a secret conversation, why would Lu Xun, who was far away in Wuchang, know? He suspected that Yang Zhu had leaked the secret and sent him to prison.
Yang Zhu was naturally wronged, but in the end he was beaten into a confession, admitting that he had leaked the secret himself, and biting Lu Xun back. Coupled with Sun Quan's investigation, Lu Xun often communicated with the crown prince Fu Wucang in Jianye.
Sun Quan was furious and sent his emissaries to rebuke Lu Xun for overstepping his authority to eavesdrop on the secrets of the palace. Lu Xun died of depression. Sun Quan experienced the great chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and deeply felt the great danger caused by the eastern Han party struggle, so he was extremely disgusted with the ministers for forming parties for personal gain. He was even more indignant that such a foreign minister went to spy on the secrets of the palace.
Although Lu Xun's ending is regrettable, it can also be regarded as a self-inflicted evil consequence. He did indeed use unreasonable means to mix political struggles, and eventually touched the emperor's scales by mistake. After Lu Xun's death, Sun Quan did not pursue the Lu clan too much, and still reused the lu clan's disciples, which can also be regarded as the last warmth of the king.
