Lu Ji used to be a tooth guard of Sun Wu. After Wu died, he became an official in the Western Jin Dynasty. In the tenth year of Taikang (289), Lu Ji brothers came to Luoyang, and they were very talented and appreciated by Zhang Hua. Since then, their fame has greatly increased. Sometimes there is a saying that "two places enter Los Angeles, and three votes reduce the price". He has served as a teacher, a doctor of Wu, a doctor of Langzhong and a writer of Langzhong, and has become "twenty-four friends of Jingu" with Jiami and others. Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, came to power, was cited as the prime minister to join the army, and was appointed as Guan Zhonghou. When he usurped the throne, he was wrongly appointed. After Sima Lun was executed, he was saved by Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu. From then on, he devoted himself to it and was called "Lu Plain" by the world. In the second year of Tai 'an (303), he was appointed as a post-general and governor of Hebei Province, and led an army to crusade against Wang Sima in Changsha, but was defeated by Qilijian and finally killed and destroyed by three tribes.
Lu Ji's "few wizards, the article is the best in the world", poetry is heavy and painting is heavy, and parallel prose is not bad. Lu Yun and his brother were both famous writers in the Western Jin Dynasty and were known as "Taikang English". The poets in the Western Jin Dynasty, represented by Pan Yue, formed a "Taikang poetic style" and were known as "Pan Jianghai". Lu Ji is also good at calligraphy, and his Ping Fu Tie is the earliest authentic celebrity calligraphy in the Middle Ages.
Nostalgia for the past

At the beginning, the eunuch Meng Jiu and his younger brother Meng Chao were favored by Sima Ying. Meng Chao led ten thousand people as commander-in-chief. Before the war, soldiers were allowed to plunder, and Lu Ji arrested the principal offender. Meng Chao took more than 100 soldiers and went straight to Luji to rob people. He turned to Lu Ji and said, "Can a slave (a derogatory term for a southerner from the North) be a governor?" Sima Sun of Luji suggested that Luji kill him, but Luji didn't agree. Meng Chao publicly said to everyone: "Lu Ji is going to rebel." He wrote to Meng Jiu again, saying that Lu Ji had second thoughts and refused to fight quickly. During the war, Meng Chao was not under the jurisdiction of Lu Ji, so it was easy for him to March alone and be destroyed. Meng Jiu suspected that Lu Ji had killed him, so he slandered Sima Ying and said that Lu Ji had infidelity. The generals are,, Gong, etc. They were all used by Meng Jiu, and proved to be the same as Xian Xiu's. Sima Ying was so angry that Xiu secretly arrested Lu Ji. That night, Lu Ji dreamed that the black car curtain was entangled in the car and his hand could not be pulled open. After dawn, the troops leading the dance arrived. Lu Ji took off his military uniform, put on his white shirt, met Xian Xiu, and said to Xian Xiu, "Since the fall of the State of Wu, my brother's clan has been honored, and he joined the court to accompany him and led his troops to the war. King Chengdu entrusted me with an important task, but I refused, but I was not allowed. Being killed today is not life! " He wrote a letter to Sima Ying in very sad words. When he was about to be executed, Lu Ji sighed, "Why can you hear the hum of cranes in Huating?" So he was killed in the army at the age of 43. His two sons Liu Wei and Liu Xia were also killed together, and their younger brothers Lu Yun and Lu Dan were also killed later. Lu Ji is not a capital crime, and all the foot soldiers feel sorry for it, and no one does not shed tears for it. On this day, the fog closed during the day, the wind blew the trees, and the snow on the ground was one foot thick. People who talk about it think it is a symbol of the abnormal death of the land machine. [25]? After his death, his good friend Zhan Ji took good care of the Lujia family. [26]?
Lu Ji was killed and buried in the clouds. Today, there are still sites in Hetao around his tomb, which can still be identified.
