Because in Lu Yuan's heart, Lu Zhi was just his slave, and Lu Zhi's behavior was a bit unruly and he didn't correct his position, so Lu Yuanbang had to teach Lu Zhi a lesson. Lu Zhi changed from the highly respected "Young Master" of the Lu Mansion to the "father" in everyone's mouth overnight, not only was he severely beaten, but his face was covered with bruises, and he was even humiliated in front of everyone, which caused indelible damage to his soul. So, is Lu Yuan's humiliation of him wronged?
Lu Zhi has been smart since he was a child, and he is well-read, and he has become Lu Yuan's right-hand man, except for Zhongye, almost all affairs have been handed over to him. Therefore, the servants in the entire mansion were impressed by Lu Zhi, and even called him "Young Master Gan", although he verbally said that no one was allowed to call him that, but he was happy in his heart. Over time, everyone followed suit, and Lu Zhi also enjoyed it with everyone's name. However, according to Lu Zhi's account, he was originally a little beggar who was later adopted by Lu Yuanbang and became a servant of the Lu Mansion. Because he was very smart, he quickly won the trust of the master and became a scholar, often accompanying him by his side. Because of his good performance, coupled with his wit and intelligence, who would not like such a handy servant?Lu Yuanbang relied on him more and more, and Lu Zhi unconsciously began to stop treating himself as a subordinate.
Lu Zhi not only has a high IQ, but also has an excellent EQ, which can be seen in the plot. After listening to other people's statements, he can basically gain insight into the truth of the matter, and he is meticulous in handling affairs, obviously not like a child, a little too mature. But he was still a kid after all. In the face of the master's beating and scolding, he was able to tell the master's true intentions with a pinpoint to the point, which made the lord lose face, how could he tolerate such a servant, it was not ruled out that he would betray himself in the future, for those who could not be controlled, if the master wanted to be smarter, he should kill him, this is exactly what Lu Yuanbang thought.
If Lu Yuan's lesson to Lu Zhi was seen through before, causing Lu Zhi to propose to recognize Lu Yuanbang as his godfather, this would undoubtedly ignite the fuse. In fact, it is a good thing for many rulers to show respect to themselves from a capable subordinate, such as Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu. But it doesn't work here in Lu Yuanbang, why?Because he has no children of his own, this is a sore spot for him. Lu Zhi said this sore spot directly in front of him, which was like sprinkling salt on the wound. Lu Yuan was furious, so he asked him to recognize the people in the whole mansion as his father, and let him recognize this group of people who called him "Young Master" every day as his father, which was a huge humiliation, and what was even more humiliating was that none of these people should be his father. What Lu Yuanbang wanted to convey was: "What I gave you, you can only ask for;."What I don't give you, you don't want. You're just my minion, that's all!”
In Lu Yuanbang's words, Lu Zhi was indeed a little "pampered and arrogant" before. From Lu Yuan's point of view, Lu Zhi's behavior has crossed the line and lost his duty as a qualified minion. As a subordinate, Lu Zhi said things that should not be said and did things that should not be done, so the punishment he received was indeed unjust. It is worth explaining that with Lu Zhi's cleverness, he would not have made such a low-level mistake. First of all, it was Lu Yuan's connivance that gave him the wrong information;Second, he drank too much and failed to control his true thoughts. If Lu Zhi hadn't drunk, he wouldn't have said these words, and there would have been no later incidents. Who would have thought that Zhongye was not dumb?has been lurking by Lu Yuanbang's side for so many years, and even he doesn't know that he is dumb. This shows that his hiding is unfathomable, and the last straw that finally crushed Lu Zhi came from Zhongye, just because he said: "The master asked me to kill you!".This sentence completely shattered Lu Zhi's illusion and set him on an unusual path.
