Three Kingdoms: the Ordinary Birthday of Zhuge Liang

Zhuge Dan is not Zhuge Liang's younger brother, but his cousin. The three Zhuge Liang brothers are Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun, and Zhuge Dan, whose clans have long been separated. Zhuge Liang and his family have gone to Jingzhou with his uncle Zhuge Xuan for a long time. At most, they have seen him when he was a child, or maybe not at all. If his surname was not Zhuge, he could only be said to be an inconspicuous splash in the flow of history.

Sima can do it, but why can't I? 😜

The Sima family's ruthless and decisive behavior in seeking power and usurping the throne has always been criticized by later generations. Sima Yi endured the murder of Cao Shuang and Wang Ling, and Sima Zhao killed Cao Mao. The "Book of Jin" records the ruthlessness of Master Sima. He actually poisoned his wife Xia Houhui who gave birth to five daughters. However, the editor recently feels that there is something wrong with this "case"! The record of Sima Shi poisoning Xia Houhui Houya had a sense of knowledge, and every time the emperor did something, he would plan it. During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, Emperor Xuan held the most important position as a general, and all his disciples had great talents and great strategies. It was later learned that the emperor was not a pure minister of Wei, but that he was the nephew of the Wei family, and the emperor was deeply jealous of him. In the second year of Qinglong's reign, Zhen died. At the age of twenty-four, he was buried in Junpingling. ——"Book of Jin·Biography of the Concubine" "Book of Jin·Biography of the Concubine" records the time and reason why Sima Shizhen killed Xia Houhui, which seems to be conclusive and very reasonable. In order to make it easier for everyone to understand, we need to introduce Xiahou Hui first. Xiahou Hui, named Yuanrong, his father Xiahou Shang, was the nephew of Xia Houyuan, the general who conquered the west. He was a famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period and rose to the rank of general who conquered the south. Xia Houhui's mother, Cao, was the sister of Great Sima Cao Zhen and was named the head of Deyang Township. Xia Houhui's half-brother Xiahou Xuan was a famous writer, metaphysician and general in Cao Wei. In short, Xiahou Hui is the daughter of the Xiahou family, and her mother is Cao Zhen's sister. She is a noble person in the world. Although Sima Yi was in a high and powerful position, being able to marry such a daughter-in-law for his eldest son was considered to be a well-matched and even high-ranking one. And Xia Houhui is very knowledgeable. Whenever Sima Shi has any ideas, she will plan and assist him. Sima Shi was born in 208, and Xia Houhui was born in 211. Although the marriage between the two was a bit of a political marriage, the two should be considered compatible. We cannot know when the two got married, but history books clearly record that the two gave birth to 5 daughters, and Xia Houhui was only 24 years old when he died. According to the "Book of Jin", Xia Houhui knew that Sima Shi was definitely not a loyal minister of Cao Wei, and Sima Shi was also very scrupulous about Xia Houhui, who was from the Cao Wei family. In the second year of Qinglong (234), Xia Houhui was poisoned by Sima Shi at the age of twenty-four. After his death, he was buried in Junping Mausoleum. The time and motive of the "crime" that is questionable First, in terms of time, Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rui was still in power in 234. Although Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui was a bit dissolute and extravagant, he was still very political. Although Sima Yi once served as an auxiliary minister, Cao Rui had already held power in his hands. In 234, Sima Yi had just defeated Zhuge Liang on the Western Front. How could he become ambitious at that time and seek the throne of the Cao family? In addition, as far as Sima Shi is concerned, although Sima Shi was almost 30 years old in 234, judging from historical records, the embarrassing thing is that Sima Shi did not have any official position at that time. During the early years of Cao Wei Jingchu (March 237-239), Sima Shi served as an idle official, such as a regular attendant, so what chance did he have to show off his talents? Second, from the perspective of motivation. "Book of Jin" believes that Xia Houhui knew that Sima Shi was definitely not a loyal minister of Cao Wei, and Sima Shi was also very scrupulous about Xia Houhui, who was from the Cao Wei family, and then Sima Shi poisoned Xia Houhui. However, before this paragraph, Xia Houhui was still exaggerating that he was knowledgeable and magnanimous, and "everything must be planned before doing anything", which seemed very abrupt and contradictory. And as I said before, even Sima Yi didn't dare to have any ideas at that time. What ambition could Master Sima have? Xia Houxuan, Xia Houhui's half-brother, was famous all over the world at that time and was a leader of the younger generation. Master Sima was just hanging out with his uncle at that time. How could he harm his wife? From a human perspective, if Master Sima and Xia Houhui had a bad relationship, how could they have given birth to five daughters in just a few years? Therefore, various doubts make it difficult to believe that Master Sima poisoned Xia Houhui. There should be something wrong with the records in the "Book of Jin" Since this piece of historical data is so untenable, why did Fang Xuanling and others add this historical data when they compiled the "Book of Jin"? First of all, Xia Houhui should indeed be dead, because after that, Sima Shi married two wives successively, first marrying Wu, the daughter of Wu Zhi, the general of Zhenbei. Soon, Master Sima deposed the Wu family and married Yang Huiyu. After the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty, under the repeated advice of Queen Jingxian Yang Huiyu, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yan posthumously named Xia Houhui Queen Jinghuai. Secondly, there is a detail. Xia Houhui was buried in Junping Mausoleum after his death. Junping Mausoleum is also the mausoleum of Sima Shi. Although this record is also very unreliable. Sima Shi did not even become an official at that time, so how could there be a mausoleum. However, after Yang Huiyu's death, he was buried with Sima Shi in Junping Mausoleum, and Xiahou Hui was also buried in Junping Mausoleum. Sima Yan eventually posthumously named Xiahou Hui Queen Jinghuai, which shows that at least the Western Jin Dynasty royal family recognized Xiahou Hui's status. As for the cause of Xia Houhui's death, there are some traces in the history books. According to the records of "Three Kingdoms" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", a large-scale plague occurred in 234 AD (in the summer of that year, there was a serious epidemic; in winter, there was another serious disease). Therefore, we can boldly speculate that Xiahou Hui probably died of the plague, but it was written that he was poisoned by Sima Shi. As for why he did this, of course it was to discredit Master Sima. In fact, there is a record in the "Book of Jin: Records of Emperor Xuan" that looks very similar. It says that in 201, Sima Yi pretended to be ill and refused Cao Cao's conquest. One time when he was drying books, there was a heavy rainstorm. Sima Yi couldn't help but go to collect the books. Only a maid in the house saw this. Zhang Chunhua was worried that Sima Yi's fake illness would be leaked and cause disaster, so he killed the maid to silence her and went to the stove to cook. Sima Yi valued her very much. I always feel that this record is actually very unreliable. Cao Cao was the actual leader of the Han Dynasty at that time. As for staring at a little Sima Yi every day? Therefore, there is a high probability that Sima Yi deliberately promoted himself, or someone deliberately created the material to show that Sima was destined to replace Cao Wei. When the "Book of Jin" was compiled in the early Tang Dynasty, historical materials were included without careful screening.

Shen Nong is dead, a single female protagonist is a eunuch, a story about a loving male protagonist and a single female protagonist, and a story about the joy of the supporting characters in the harem. If it's really yours, do you also want to write about a story about a male protagonist and a female partner who are not strong enough in the bridal chamber and the male protagonist helps push it?

If the Sima clan usurps power, should I attack it on behalf of Heaven?

It's a good idea. Why do you want to add the element of ancient martial arts? What a failure.

Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Liang have no close relationship at all, and it is difficult for them to be called cousins. The common ancestor of Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Liang can be traced back to Zhuge Feng 270 years ago. They can only be regarded as clan brothers, and there is basically no so-called intersection between Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Dan's father. When Zhuge Liang was thirteen years old, he and his uncle Zhuge Xuan fled to Lujiang to avoid Cao Cao's war in Xuzhou.

Three horses eating Cao? Huh, it's right for the three Zhu Gong Cao.

Deng Ai is so cruel and ruthless that using the corpses of his own soldiers as a spectacle is an eye-opener.

Why doesn't anyone write about Wenyang? A fierce man who goes in and out seven times will die in a cowardly manner.

How "cruel" was Zhuge Liang who entered the Confucian Temple and the Martial Arts Temple at the same time? 🥵 Zhuge Liang was still very powerful in history, but he couldn't get the army rations every time. Cao Wei could only defend without using dangerous moves, but he could only attack slowly and failed. The five Northern Expeditions made Emperor Ming very anxious. For the first time in 228, the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding were easily captured. Many people surrendered, including Jiang Wei. "The people in the Wei Dynasty are afraid", and later Wei sent reinforcements. Because Liang left troops to guard the camp to deal with the threat, he sent fewer troops to the front line. Ma Di made a mistake, and was defeated miserably. The second time, in the winter of 228, he went there again and met Hao Zhao, who was good at defending the city. He ran out of rations and withdrew, and also ambushed and killed the Wei general. Wang Shuang. For the third time, in 229, he frightened Guo Huai and captured the two counties of Wudu and Yinping. The fourth time, in 231, the guard Cao Zhenyi was ill and the Wei army was too weak to fight. Emperor Ming sent Sima Yi, the governor of Jingzhou, to attack Zhuge Liang. Sima Yi, who sent troops to fight for the general, was defeated miserably. Sima Yi, who used troops to "invade like fire" and "soldiers with great speed", had to defend all the time. When the Shu army almost ran out of supplies, he was recalled by Li Yan's envoy Jizi and the imperial edict. Zhang He, who did not agree to pursue, was sent by Yi and was shot in the right knee by an ambush and died. Once. Qimou captured Meng Da and was considered by Emperor Ming to be the best commander. Such a smart Sima Yi was no match for Zhuge Liang. Emperor Ming Cao Rui had very good control over Sima Yi. Sima Yi was still a loyal minister during Emperor Ming's time and would not let his guard down in battle. Even he praised Zhuge Liang as "a genius in the world!" " For the fifth time in 232, Sima Yi did not dare to go to war and could not hold out. He was humiliated in various ways. After more than a hundred days of confrontation, he died of illness. Then Zhuge Liang scared away Zhongda. Zhuge Liang was actually a very good commander, but the country was small and the people were tired, and he was an incompetent monarch. Just like Xia Houxuan and He Yan, they were both very talented. But the idiot who assisted Cao Shuang could not lead him. Zhuge Liang would not be able to ignore the emperor like Sima Shi. No matter how talented he was in military affairs, how could he succeed if he could not have the final say in the country? Of course, there would be Chen Qingzhi who had thousands of troops to avoid Bai, but he was really incomparable to the newly founded Cao Wei in the north.

What's the point of adding two female supporting characters?

What's there to say about Zhuge Dan, a villain at both ends of the snake and mouse spectrum? He's not like Guanqiu Jian.

This is written by Zhuge Dan. Let's see how it goes first. If it's my cup of tea, then continue reading 🙂🙂

No wonder, there are only a few places to see in the historical area, and the rest are all history.

In fact, it's close to Xiahou Xuan— Cao Shuang - Cao Ruilai promoted his official position Used the idea of ​​the emperor's checks and balances to fight against Sima Yi, and gradually took control of the military power Forged an alliance with Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang was included, and the protagonist was outside Place in advance in front of Gaoping Mausoleum Sima Yi pointed out that Luoshui had sworn not to kill Cao Shuang, but the Yi clan was not yet firmly established Seizing the opportunity to clear the emperor's side The Yi Sima clan Purge the dissidents Sima clan can do what Zhuge clan can't do?

It's too imprudent. It's a taboo to make shallow acquaintances and talk deeply. When you first arrive, you confide in someone. It's the kind of close relationship that you don't even know how to die!

This kind of book is difficult to write. The intelligence of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi is deeply rooted in people's hearts. It's okay if there is no overlap with them in the same era. If there is overlap but it does not reflect their intelligence, readers will not like it. The requirements for writing and conception are too high.
