鹿毛寿 / Lu Maoshou
鹿毛寿 / Lu Maoshou enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》47丨燕王哙的理想主义 as the persuader who turns 燕王哙’s trust in 子之 into an abdication-style power transfer. The source presents him as part of the same manipulation chain as 苏代, but his specialty is ancient precedent rather than interstate comparison.
Lu Maoshou first invokes Yao and Xu You to make yielding authority look like a reputation win: the ruler can appear humble and worthy while still expecting not to lose the state. He then invokes Yu, Boyi, and Qi to argue that a nominal successor gains nothing unless he also receives the offices and people who make succession real.
In the episode’s interpretation, this is 揣摩 aimed at Yan Wang Kuai’s weakest motives: self-doubt after failed politics, desire to become strong, and appetite for the moral image of ancient abdication. Lu Maoshou therefore belongs to the wiki’s 破坏规则式禅让 branch.
