Commandant Lu has always favored the philosophy of being cautious in times of peace. Even though the Lu family now seems to be thriving with blazing prosperity and the Emperor of Zhou holds profound trust in the Lu family, there are countless instances of wise lords becoming muddleheaded in their old age.
Now, as Commandant Lu restrains the demeanor of the Lu family, with His Majesty's wisdom, he will naturally perceive the Lu family's stance of not seeking power or forming partisan cliques.
When the time comes for Commandant Lu to retire, he can still request a plaque for an academy from His Majesty, using the Emperor's banner as a pretext to cultivate talents for the Imperial Court. In this way, those sent to the court will remember the Lu family's kindness, and the academy can be said to have started as students of the Emperor.
At that time, the future of the Lu family would indeed be promising.
