At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Zhu, whose name is Zizhong, lived in Qu County, Donghai County (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu).
Elk Zhu's ancestors have been in business for several generations, leaving behind a huge amount of family property.
He often went to Luoyang to do business, going back and forth.
Once, dozens of miles away from home, Lu Zhu saw a beautiful woman on the side of the road, who said that she was going into the city and asked Lu Zhu to let her take a ride.
Lu Zhu agreed, in order to avoid suspicion, so Lu Zhu let the woman get into the car, and he got out of the car and followed the car.
After walking for more than ten miles, the woman didn't want to go, so she let Lu Zhu get in the car and sit in the car together.
Lu Zhu also felt tired, so he got in the car and sat with the woman, but he looked ahead and didn't look at the woman along the way.
When the woman arrived at her destination, she thanked Lu Zhu and said to him, "I am actually the Southern Fire De Xingjun." I received a mandate from heaven to go to Donghai County and burn down your home.
So I want to test you secretly, you not only let me take a ride, but also don't squint when you sit in the car, you are really a gentleman.
That's why I'm telling you this. ”
Lu Zhu hurriedly knelt down and begged to let him go.
Huo De Xingjun said: "The mandate of heaven cannot be violated. Now, hurry home. I'll go slowly, and by noon, your house will surely burn out. ”
Lu Zhu hurried home, and when he got home, he ordered the whole family to move all their belongings out of the door.
By noon, Lu Zhu's home was on fire.
Because of his gentlemanly style, Lu Zhu escaped a disaster.
Later, Lu Zhu followed Xuzhou Mu Taoqian and was named a different driver.
After Tao Qian died of illness, Lu Zhu was ordered by Tao Qian to follow Liu Bei, and later, Lu Zhu married his sister to Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he worshiped Lu Zhu as the general of Anhan, and his status was above the military advisor Zhuge Liang, and his treatment was the highest among the ministers.
Later, Sun Quan's general Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou, and Elfang Xiancheng, who was then the Taishou of Nanjun, surrendered, and Guan Yu was defeated and died.
Lu Zhu tied himself up and went to ask Liu Bei for his guilt, and Liu Bei comforted him in turn, thinking that his brother's sin had nothing to do with his brother, and treated him as before.
But a few years later, Lu Zhu still fell ill with shame and remorse because of Mi Fang's rebellion, and died soon after.
That's it for today.
