Although everyone is familiar with Zhuge Liang, we may not know so much about the story of Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms period. When it comes to Zhuge family, it was also a big family and a famous family in the early days of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang, under Liu Bei, was a military strategist and prime minister. It can be said that in the military camp of Shu, except Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is the only one. Such a divine figure naturally adds luster to the Zhuge family. Of course, Zhuge Liang devoted himself to serving the people and the world. Of course, he didn't think about glorifying his ancestors, but more about the world.
Things in the world can't always be nearly perfect. Zhuge family produces generals and prime ministers, but they can't help one master, but serve three masters respectively. However, customers are powerful people, and that is Wei Shuwu. Zhuge Liang is in Shu, while his eldest brother Zhu Gejin is in Wu.
In order to escape the war, Zhuge's eldest brother Zhu Gejin went out to make a living alone. He wanted to take over his two younger brothers when his career was successful, and he didn't want Zhuge Liang to take refuge in Liu Bei later. When Sun Quan knew that Zhuge Liang in Wolong was Zhu Gejin's younger brother and worked under Liu Bei, he used various methods to make Zhu Gejin "cheat" Zhuge Liang into Soochow. Who is Zhuge Liang? So easy to fool?
On one occasion, Zhu Gejin wrote to Zhuge Liang again, ostensibly to express his wishes and reunite his brothers. In fact, he wanted Zhuge Liang to take refuge in Sun Quan. How clever Zhuge Liang is. After reading the letter, with pen and ink, his feelings are more sincere. Zhu Gejin burst into tears after reading the letter, knowing that he could not convince Zhuge Liang at all. In this way, he may have been "fooled" by Zhuge Liang and gave up.
Although Zhu Gejin is not as talented as Zhuge Liang, he is also highly regarded in Shu. He was a high-ranking official all his life, but Zhu Gejin was modest, won the hearts of the people, and died a fair death. But his son didn't end well, and eventually all his descendants died. What is the reason?
Let's talk about Zhu Gejin's two sons. The eldest son is Zhuge Ke, and the youngest son is Zhuge Qiao. Because Zhuge Liang had no children for a long time after marriage, and adoption was prevalent in ancient times, Zhu Gejin gave Zhuge Liang his youngest son, Zhuge Qiao, who was nine years old at that time.
When Zhuge Ke grew up, his wisdom and talent were unusual, and he finally achieved the position of prime minister. Perhaps the wisdom gene of Zhuge family is better. However, Zhuge Ke's temperament is not so good. In the later period, he was confused by power, domineering and dominating the state affairs, which made the king of Wu intolerable and was finally brutally killed and perished.
Zhu Gejin's youngest son Zhuge Qiao? Did he survive? No, Zhuge Qiao died a few years before Zhuge Ke was killed. After Zhuge Qiao adopted Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was strict with him, asking him to start at the grassroots level and temper him in order to make him a pillar of Shu. However, no one expected that the horse was frightened on the way to transport grain and grass. A 25-year-old handsome man with gentle personality and excellent popularity accidentally fell off a cliff and died.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang later had his own son, Zhuge Zhan. Because Zhuge Liang was busy with government affairs and paid little attention to it, Zhuge Zhan was far from Zhuge Liang in wisdom and talent. At the age of 37, he died for his country in the battle of Mianzhu. Zhuge Zhan married the princess of Shu at the age of seventeen and gave birth to two sons. Zhuge Shang, the eldest son, and Zhuge Zhan went to war, mutually assured destruction, while Zhu Gejin, the second son, survived.
So, who is the Zhuge family who is an official in Wei State? In fact, he is not Zhuge Liang's own brother, but a member of Zhuge Liang's big family. He is Zhuge Liang's cousin, and he is Zhuge Dan. Zhuge Liang is a general of Wei. He is not as talented and famous as Zhu Gejin and Zhuge Liang, but he is also a famous figure. However, Sima was autocratic in the late Wei Dynasty. Because Zhuge Dan refused to obey Sima, he thought that he was actually usurping power and seizing power, and was eventually killed by Sima Yi, implicating the whole family.
But in the later period of the family road, it turned from prosperity to decline. In the end, only the descendants of Zhuge Liang survived. Zhu Gejin has been giving advice to Wu Dong all his life, but he doesn't want his descendants to be extinct. Although it is a smart family, the ending is inevitable. The so-called full moon is a loss, and the water overflows. The preservation of Zhuge Liang's descendants is mainly related to Zhuge Liang's humble and fair attitude towards life. He devoted himself to serving the public, never thought of seizing power, and created Futian for future generations.
