Please ask me to be the emperor

After hearing Lu Weiqi's words, Dong Yance was silent for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "Does Yu Shi really mean what he said? I belong to the Dong family, and hundreds of women and children, big and small, are in my hands. How can I listen to your words and risk the whole family?" Regardless of your life?"

Lu Weiqi also knew that if Dong agreed easily, he would have some doubts. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mr. Dong only knows that being a thief may implicate the nine clans. Doesn't he know that King Shun can also destroy a family and a clan?"

Dong Yance almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this. You said "King Shun is benevolent and righteous" before, but then threatened others with "destroying their families and annihilating their clans." Isn't it contradictory?

He couldn't help but asked sarcastically: "Didn't Lu Yushi say that King Shun was benevolent and righteous? Why did he destroy his family and his clan at every turn? How is that any different from a bandit?"

"Benevolence and righteousness are not pedantic, and kindness does not necessarily mean being soft-hearted!" Lu Weiqi couldn't help but sneered after hearing this, "Liu Xuande is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. He also killed Chang Yu, a famous scholar in Sichuan. How is he different from the traitor Cao Cao? The prime minister can only punt a boat in his belly. Vertical support is allowed, but horizontal support is not allowed!"

Dong Yance had also served as a county magistrate and had a lot of experience. Of course, he would not simply think that as long as the other party was a benevolent person, he could disobey him casually. What he said was just that he wanted to refuse Lu Weiqi's invitation.

The power of following the dragon sounds like a huge profit and opportunism, but the dangers involved are beyond anyone's imagination. As the saying goes, "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger." If the other party is really a hero, how is he different from that king?

Lu Weiqi used coercion and inducement, but when he saw that it was still difficult to do, he suddenly felt that it was quite difficult. After talking for a long time, his mouth was a little dry. He couldn't help but pick up some tea to moisten his throat and think again.

After a while, Lu Weiqi saw that Dong Yance didn't chase people away, and he was a little shaken. He couldn't help but smile secretly and continued: "I heard that Song County is the hometown of the Dong family. It is very close to Ruzhou. From here to the east, there are Yuzhou and Xuzhou! Don't you hear the story of Cao Wei in the late Han Dynasty?"

Women and children are all familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the late Ming Dynasty. What's more, Dong Yance also often reads "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and other historical books. Who knows what Lu Weiqi is talking about?

He couldn't help but asked with some surprise: "What is Yu Shi talking about?"

Lu Weiqi couldn't help stroking his beard and said with a smile: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, when the emperor was in trouble, Cao Mengde wanted to help the world, so he joined forces with the Cao family and the Xiahou family to fight against Chenliu. At that time, there were famous Yingchuan scholars like Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Chen Qun. With his minions and claws, there are two out of three parts of the world, and the Yingchuan gentry has prospered greatly."

"In the past when Guangwu raised his army, many people from Nanyang went to join him, and then there were disciples of Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Cen Peng, Ma Wu, Liu Long, Ma Cheng, Chen Jun, Du Mao, Ren Guang, and Zhu Hu. With feathers and wings, he established a country with glory and military power, was granted the title of marquis and worshiped as prime minister, and there are twenty-eight generals in Yuntai!"

"We have been waiting in Henan Mansion for thousands of years before we get this opportunity. As the saying goes, 'If you don't take it, you will suffer the blame; if you don't succeed, you will suffer the disaster.' Even if the Dong family refuses to surrender to King Shun, Can you stay out of it?"

Lu Weiqi's words really spoke to Dong Yance's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. But after the excitement, I felt a little calmer again.

He stroked his chin beard for a long time, and then murmured to himself: "It's so easy to get to where we are today from the Dong family, how can we throw it away lightly?"

After talking about it for a long time, Dong Yance said to Lu Weiqi: "Mr. Yushi, unless Dong has refuted your feelings, the whole family is my own, so I have to be careful. Now my brother has a son, named Dong. Duxing, whose name is Tianyin, is quite talented and learned. If King Shun doesn't give up, I will call him here in a while. If he is willing to go with you, he will have nothing to do with my Dong family from now on; if he is not willing, there is nothing I can do!"

Lu Weiqi listened to him for a long time and thought he was going to refuse, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, he didn't expect that this person's voice changed and he was actually planning to let his direct descendants serve as King Shun. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The so-called severing of relations with the Dong family is just to deceive others. If King Shun rises in the future and Dong Du's fortune rises, how can the Dong family deny it?

He couldn't help but smile and said: "That's good, then I can meet this nephew for a while, right?"

Dong Yance nodded when he heard this, and then called his servants: "Please come over here, please tell me that I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Yes!" The servant hurriedly went after hearing this. Not long after, a young master came in.

Lu Weiqi looked up and saw that the scholar had a white face and no beard. He was about twenty-three or four years old, with bright eyes and a bookish look on his face.

Then Dong Du came in and quickly saluted, seeing Dong Yance and Lu Weiqi respectively. Lu Weiqi returned the gift, sat down dutifully on behalf of Dong, and then smiled and said: "My dear nephew, you may not know me, but I am Lu Weiqi of Xin'an. I invite you to discuss important matters. What do you think?"

Dong Yance quickly told his plan, but Dong Duxing was obviously not prepared and could not help but be stunned for a long time.

He is also a son of a wealthy family, so of course he understands what his uncle Dong Yance means. If this matter succeeds, naturally one person will achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven; if it fails, it will naturally be that he is a thief of his own free will and has nothing to do with the Dong family.

It's a danger, but it's also an opportunity! How to decide? Dong Duxing thought for a long time, and then he cupped his hands to Lu Weiqi and said, "Mr. Lu, I have heard about this famous student for a long time. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

"Please speak!" Originally Lu Weiqi was just trying to persuade Dong to express his position. As for the ability of the person who surrendered to King Shun, it was not his responsibility to consider for the time being. Now that I saw that Dong Duxing seemed to have some ability, I couldn't help but become interested.

"Sir, what kind of person is King Shun? Is it worth entrusting him with his wealth and life?" Dong Duxing couldn't help but ask.

Lu Weiqi couldn't help but look at him in surprise when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Whether it is worth it or not, everyone has their own ambitions and different opinions. Personally speaking, the Lu family of Xin'an is willing to follow it to the end!"

"I feel ashamed to say that the student is not perfect in his studies. I wonder what can be done if he follows King Shun?" Dong Duxing asked again.

"It's easy to talk about!" Lu Weiqi responded easily, "Now King Shun has all his staff. Those who are willing to join the army can follow King Shun to learn strategies and serve as staff officers; those who are willing to govern the people can follow Duke Zhang and measure Plowing the land, keeping household registers, appeasing the people, and advising on farming; those who are willing to manage property and supplies can follow their wives, keep statistics on income and expenditure, purchase grain and grass, and so on."

"What if I am willing to follow Mr. Lu?" Dong Duxing asked quickly.

"Follow me to the big houses of the gentry and welcome the scholars to join the officialdom of King Shun!" Lu Weiqi said with a smile.

"That's fine. If Mr. Meng doesn't give up, Du Xing is willing to follow Mr. Lu!" Dong Duxing finally made up his mind.
