When you think of the Three Kingdoms, who is the first person you think of? Cao Cao? Liu Bei? Zhuge Liang?
Yes, they are the brightest North Star of the Three Kingdoms era, so they will always be mentioned first.
Let me go on and ask, what are the names of their sons?
Cao Pi Cao Zhi and so on, Liu Chan, and then...
Uh, what is the name of Zhuge Liang's son?
Many people are not impressed, maybe you have read the famous Book of Commandments, but you must have forgotten what his son's name was.
01
When Zhuge Liang was 46 years old, he finally got a son and took the name Zhuge Zhan, the character Siyuan. The name is taken from the poem "Look at the sun and the moon, and think slowly." The clouds of the Road are far away, can the clouds come? Through the names and characters, we can glimpse such a scene: Zhuge Liang, as a father, rarely had the opportunity to return to Chengdu to reunite with his family because he had been stationing troops abroad for many years and preparing for the Northern Expedition, so his wife and children looked at Hanzhong in the distance from Jinguan City day after day, singing the folk songs of the Lefu "Qingqing Riverside Grass, Thinking of the Long Way", thinking of distant relatives.
The name "Zhan" also contains the expectations of his father Zhuge Liang for his son - he hopes that his son can be far-sighted, ambitious, and become a useful person. Zhuge Liang is different from other fathers, contemporary parents, most of them hope that their son is a little prodigy, from a young age to know astronomy and geography, eighteen martial arts, proficient in everything, the more intelligent the better, some time ago the genius child Xi Xi is a typical case. However, Zhuge Liang's vision is very long-term, and he once wrote to his brother Zhuge Jin when he said to his son: "Zhan is now eight years old, intelligent and lovely, and he thinks that he has become an early child, and I am afraid that it is not a heavy instrument." "Disgusted with the son is too early and wise, he will not be able to become a great talent in the future, I am afraid that this is the only one."
In any case, Zhuge Liang was unable to witness his son's future life, but his prediction was extremely accurate.
Zhuge Zhan gradually grew up, more and more with his father's appearance and demeanor, and worked in calligraphy and painting, because of the infinite remembrance of Zhuge Liang by his father and elder in Shuzhong, they gave all their love to Zhuge Zhan.

"Seventeen years old, Princess Shang, worship the lieutenant." Next year, he will be the general of Yulin Zhonglang, who has repeatedly moved to shoot the sound lieutenant, the servant, the Shangshu servant, and the general of the Canadian army division. "Zhuge Zhan's career is prominent, he is moving in a smooth stride, and his promotion is like riding a rocket, all the way to the general of the military division." That was the official position that Liu Bei gave zhuge liang after he entered the throne of Hanzhong, which was first created by Liu Bei during the Jianxing years, only Zhuge Liang's family, no other branch, and now the son inherits the father's throne, which shows Liu Chan's nostalgia for Zhuge Liang.
"For four years, Jing Yao guarded the general for Xingdu, and the auxiliary general Nanxiang Hou Dongjie and Pingshang Shushi."
At this time, Zhuge Zhan was only thirty-five years old. Dong Jie, who was in charge of Shang Shu with him, was the governor of Zhuge Liang's period, and was praised and promoted by Zhuge Liang. Other generals who served as heavy generals in the same period were almost all old qualified figures, such as Wang Ping, the general of Zhenbei, who surrendered to Shu Han during the Liu Bei period, and participated in Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition all the way; the zhenxi general Hu Ji, who served as the chief bookkeeper of the Xiangfu in the early days, and Zhuge Liang compared him with Cui Zhouping, Xu Shu, and Dong He. Only Zhuge Zhan did not make military merits, but because of his father's prestige, he was a general of the Wei Dynasty and commanded the Su Wei guards, that is, gongwei Chengdu City, directly guarding the emperor's Yulin army.
Father Zhuge Liang is like a shining star and moon, illuminating the vast sky of Shu Han, and the Shu people remember and shine, and they can't help but add all their expectations to Zhuge Zhan, who was only eight years old at the time of his father's death. Whenever a good policy is promulgated, even if it is not proposed by Zhuge Zhan, it is attributed to Zhuge Zhan's name. The history books record, "The reputation of the beautiful voice has been exaggerated, and there has been a fact." ”
Due to the simplicity of Chen Shou's record, Zhuge Zhan's nearly twenty years of official eunuch career appeared chaotic and ambiguous, and we only know that in the later period, he mainly did two things: to stop Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition and to try to get rid of the eunuch Huang Hao.
03
Let's start with the first thing. After the death of Fei Yi, who was one of the four phases of The Shu Han Dynasty along with Zhuge Liang, Jiang Huan, and Dong Yun, Jiang Wei lost his balance and opened the road of the Northern Expedition, and finally because the soldiers were tired and poor, the people complained a lot, and the domestic opposition to the Northern Expedition grew louder, Zhuge Zhan and Dong Yue discussed that they should replace Jiang Wei as a general with Yan Yu.
However, at this time, Jiang Wei was at odds with the eunuch Huang Hao, and fearing that Huang Hao would harm himself, he ran with his army to plant wheat in Puzhong, and Zhuge Zhan's plan fell through.
The second thing, except for Huang Hao, did not succeed. Huang Hao was favored by the lord Liu Chan, and in the middle of the dynasty, he was attached to the branches and leaves, and Zhuge Zhan could not help it.
In the year when Zhuge Zhan was thirty-seven years old, that is, in the sixth year of Jingyao of the Shu Han Dynasty (263 AD), Sima Zhao sent Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, and Zhuge Xu to lead a three-way army to attack the Shu Han in the south. The military state was in a hurry, the great war was imminent, Deng Aiqi soldiers smuggled into Yinping, the Shu Han court was chaotic into a pot of porridge, Zhuge Zhan, who had no previous experience, went out on the expedition, and finally was defeated, and died with his eldest son Zhuge Shang, ending his short life. Before dying, he shouted: "I don't exclude Huang Hao, I don't control Jiang Wei, I don't keep Jiang You, I have three sins, why should I oppose it?" ”

As soon as Zhuge Zhan died, the morale of the Shu Han court fell apart in an instant, and the lord sent his attendant Zhang Shao to Luocheng to send the descending book to Deng Ai, who was the victor. By the way, this Zhang Shao is Zhang Fei's younger son, Zhang Fei under the Nine Springs, I don't know how to feel.
In the Jin Dynasty, as the winner, the evaluation of Zhuge Zhan was basically labeled, this was a loyal courtier, he was loyal, but it was of little use.
Should we criticize Zhuge Zhan? After all, as a major minister of the state, he could not be as committed to the Northern Expedition as his father, and it was regrettable that he grasped the military and political power and governed the country in an orderly manner. However, for Zhan Er, who was only eight years old when he lost his father, all the glory came from the distant, deceased father, and all the harsh blame was also because he was Zhuge Liang's son.
Zhuge Liang could not restore the Han Room, and he was still in the old capital, and Zhuge Zhan naturally could not either.
I guess Zhuge Zhan might be thinking, why me? Why should I carry the flag of my father's generation? Perhaps in the prosperous Taiping Dynasty, Zhuge Zhanhui was a literati who was proficient in calligraphy and painting, and unfortunately he was the son of Zhuge Liang, and he had to take on the fate and safety of the country, whether he liked it or not.
This reminds me of Harry. porter. Harry must have had this question: Why me? Why do I have to be the savior, all the pressure is on me, you are counting on me to solve the problem, I can save the world? Just because I'm a "boy who doesn't die"?

Later generations commented on Zhuge Zhan, and some of them scolded him fiercely, such as Zhang Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty, who said: "Zhan Ren is also a general, but he cannot go to Huang Hao with great advice, and he cannot listen to him, and he cannot retreat from his life. Soldiers defeated and killed, although they can not surrender, are only better than traitors. "That is, it is better than a traitor- this is a very harsh scolding."
But I really lamented the Zhuge Zhan who lost his father at the age of eight and lived for his father's dream all his life. How dazzling his father's aura was, how wide the shadow left for him was, and Zhuge Zhan had nowhere to escape. It can be said that his whole life, as the only bone and blood left by the gods in the world, has been compared with his father all the time, and his life must have been very hard.
In the end, he failed to turn the tide of the tide and help the building to fall, so he had to put out the fire with moths and martyr himself. The glory and praise of the first half of life are now all transformed into the bones of the Mianzhu City, leaving only posterity to sigh.
By the way, history later made a joke, and Ji Zhi, the grand master of Eastern Wu Guanglu, named his son Ji Zhan, the character Siyuan, the same name as Zhuge Zhan, perhaps by coincidence, or out of homage to Wu Hou. Ji Zhan was loyal to the Jin Dynasty, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty by emperor Sima Rui of the Yuan Dynasty, and eventually became a famous courtier of the Jin Dynasty, living up to this far-reaching name.
