When people mention zhuge famous ministers in Chinese history, most people should only think of Zhuge Liang, the famous Shu Han Emperor Wu Hou. Perhaps some people will also think of Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, Zhuge Jin, a great general of equal status in Eastern Wu.
In fact, at that time, there was a fiercer little brother in their Zhuge family, compared to Zhuge Liang in Shu Han single-handedly covering the sky, almost like Cao Cao," "adding nine tin and crowning the king, acting as the lord and regent the world" is even more powerful, compared to Zhuge Jin in Eastern Wu, the father and son of the two generations of extremely popular subjects, his son Zhuge Ke dared to seize the brush in the hands of emperor Sun Quan, write his father's name on the face of a small donkey, and ask for a reward from the suspicious and suspicious Lord Wu, but also more fickle and resourceful.
Although this person threw himself into the State of Wei, although his power was temporarily tilted, his reputation was greatly known in the world, and he was no less than that of the two elder brothers, and he also made the three brothers of the Zhuge clan glorious in the three parts of the world, but unfortunately in this life, they encountered the extremely scheming and deceitful adulterous fathers and sons and brothers, and in the two rebellions, once again betrayed their good friends, missed a great opportunity, once again took risks alone, sat and waited, and finally inevitably lost their heads, and ended up in a world of difference from the end of his two brothers, and the difference between the clouds and mud made posterity sigh infinitely!
Friends who are familiar with history and familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms must have known his name, he is the father of Zhuge Liang, the Great Sima of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Chen Zhuge Birthday, Zi Gong Xiu, Langya Yangdu, after Zhuge Feng, the famous minister of the Han Yuan Emperor, and Zhuge Jin, the general of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms, and Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han Emperor, are party brothers. However, how is his life experience different from his two cousins, and why did he join Cao Wei, but in the end he only won a tragic ending? Today we will find out.
In fact, in his early years, Zhuge Shi had served as a low-ranking but not low-ranking Shangshulang on Cao Wei's territory, that is, the assistant secretary general equivalent to Emperor Cao Pi of Wei, and was later sent to Xingyang as a county order.
After a period of training, he was transferred to the official department as a langzhong, that is, a senator in charge of the personnel department. When someone came to interview for an official, he would give the self-recommender's words to the officials of the official department for reference, and then decide whether to hire or not, and later to assess the merits of the appointed official, he also had to discuss the gains and losses with the officials of the official department, and then praise and depreciate, and his style of conduct was also unanimously approved by the officials, believing that he was as cautious and perfect as his second cousin Zhuge Cheng Xiang, the Marquis of Shu Hanwu.
Soon after, he was promoted to the rank of Yushi Zhongcheng and Shangshu because of his outstanding work performance, it is worth mentioning that the Shangshu of the Two Han Dynasties and the Six Shangshu after the Sui and Tang Dynasties are not the same, the Wei and Jin Fashion Books are the emperor's senior clerks and assistants, and the Shangshu after the Sui and Tang Dynasties is the department boss, equivalent to the level of deputy prime minister.
Zhuge Zhi had to do the emperor's high-level documents on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also had the responsibility of supervising the actions of hundreds of officials, and he was good friends with the general xiahou Xuan of Wei Guozong who was pro-conquering the Western Army, the Central Protector, and the attendants and Shangshu Deng Biao. The Zhonghu Army is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, responsible for the security of the Imperial City Beijing Division, and the secretary general and general adviser of the emperor.
At that time, the words and deeds of the three people in the capital Luoyang were very consistent, according to the Tang and Song dynasties, it was "forming a party of friends", and the officials and scholars in the capital all believed that Zhuge Shi, Deng Biao and others were too frivolous and luxurious in their lives, and liked to win false reputations, and their power in the dynasty could not last long.
Later, when the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui ascended the throne, he was very disgusted with Zhuge Sheng, so he dismissed him from his official position. Later, emperor Ming of Wei died, and the young emperor Cao Fang ascended the throne, promoted Zhuge Shi to the imperial court, and worked with Xiahou Xuan again. Moreover, the imperial court also restored Zhuge Shi to the posts of Zhongcheng and Shangshu, and made him the Assassin of Yangzhou, and awarded the title of General of Zhaowu. At that time, Sima Yi, the grand master, was also quite jealous of this little Zhuge who was related to his old rival Zhuge Liang, so he had always been extremely close and co-opted.
However, the eighty-year-old old lady Wang Ling wanted to establish the elder Chu king Cao Biao to replace the young emperor Cao Fang, who was controlled by Sima Yi. Sima Yi was also panicked at that time, fearing that Wang Ling would collude with The Yanzhou Assassin Shi Linghu yu in Huainan to rebel together, so he secretly led a large army to march east to Huainan, and made Zhuge Zhi the grand general of Zhendong, the governor of Yangzhou, and the false festival, and also sealed the Marquis of Shanyangting.
At that time, Eastern Wu's grand master Fu Zhuge Ke also took advantage of Cao Wei's civil unrest and sent troops north to fight for the wei state of Huainan. At that time, Wang Ling was still thinking of uniting with Eastern Wu to deal with Sima Yi, but he did not expect that sima Yi, who was scheming and calculating, saw through their plan and did not allow the Huainan soldiers and horses to move, so that Wang Ling's plot could not succeed, but was killed by Sima Yi.
Zhuge Ke, on the other hand, was sent to engage his nephew Zhuge Ke, but he was unable to defeat the young and vigorous Zhuge Ke and was defeated. Sima Yi was furious and transferred him to be a general of the same rank, but insignificant, Zhennan. It turned out that Zhuge Jin, the father of Zhuge Ke of Eastern Wu, was Zhuge Zhi's cousin.
The original Zhennan general, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Qiu Jian (毌丘 for the compound surname, 毌字 homophonous with the character 毌字) was appointed as the Zhendong General, and together with the Yangzhou Assassin Shi Wenqin, he repelled Zhuge Ke of Eastern Wu, and was appointed by Sima Yi as the governor of Yangzhou, commanding all the soldiers and horses in Huainan, specifically against Eastern Wu. However, soon after, sima yi died of illness, and Yiqiu Jian and Wen Qin immediately raised an army to rebel against Sima Yi's sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao's brothers.
Yuqiu Jian also sent an envoy to send a letter to Zhuge Shi in Yuzhou, asking him to gather the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou and the people to respond together, not wanting Zhuge Zhi to actually kill the envoy, and to publicize their plan to the world, so as to win the trust of the Sima brothers.
Soon after, the general Sima Shi left his younger brother Sima Zhao in Luoyang, led his own troops to march east to Huainan, and made Zhuge Shi the governor of Yuzhou, and sent his troops directly to Shouchun, the capital of Huainan. As the vanguard, Zhuge Shi defeated Yiqiu Jian in the First World War, and many of the defeated soldiers fled to Eastern Wu.
Sima Shi believed that Zhuge had been a general in Huainan for a long time before his birthday, so he restored him to the position of general of Zhendong, and made his travel honor guard equal to that of the third division of the imperial court (Yi Tongsan division), and concurrently served as the governor of Yangzhou. At that time, the Wu generals Sun Jun, Lü Zhao, and Liu Zan heard of the chaos in Huainan and immediately contacted Wen Qin, who was defeated, and he led the way to Shouchun.
Later, unexpectedly, Zhuge Shi had already captured Shouchun, and Yuqiu Jian's army was defeated and died, and the Wu army retreated in vain. Zhuge Shi also sent his general Jiang Ban to pursue the Wu army, beheaded the Wu general Liuzan, and returned the merit. Sima Shi was overjoyed, and asked Emperor Wei to make Zhuge The Marquis of Gaoping , with 3,500 households , and was promoted to the rank of Grand General of The Eastern Expedition.
However, Zhuge Shi had a very good relationship with Xiahou Xuan and Deng Biao, the relatives of Emperor Wei of the anti-Sima clan, and he was also very afraid and uneasy in his heart, so he took out all his property to buy people's hearts, and actually took in thousands of jianghu rangers and outlaws as dead soldiers in Yangzhou.
In the first year of the reign of Duke Cao Ofeganlu of Wei Gaoli, the young emperor Cao Fang was deposed by Sima Shi as the King of Qi, and soon Sima Shi also fell ill and died on the way to quell the rebellion of Yiqiu Jian, and the Eastern Wu soldiers and horses wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Xu Wei (徐堨, in modern Hanshan County, Anhui), while Sima Zhao, who was sitting in Luoyang, thought that the Huainan soldiers and horses led by Zhuge Shi were enough to resist the Wu army, but Zhuge Shi asked the imperial court to add 100,000 troops and asked to build fortifications in Linhuai, which was clearly a threat to the Wu army, supporting the army and respecting themselves, and dividing Huainan.
After Sima Zhao sensed that Something was wrong with Zhuge Shi, he immediately promoted him to the position of Grand Sikong in the name of Emperor Wei and ordered him to return to the Capital Division to take up his post. As soon as Zhuge Zhi received the edict, he was frightened out of the sky, and even the second cousin Zhuge Kongming's Taishan collapsed in front of him, and the amazing courage of the color was unchanged, even the calm and calm of the lobby brother Zhuge Jin who dared to meet Liu Bei, who had a deep hatred for the sea of blood, before the Battle of Yiling, was far from the same.
Next, he followed the old path of Wang Ling and Yiqiu Jian, and hastily raised troops to rebel. At the beginning, he actually beheaded Cao Cao's "five sons and good generals" Le Jin's son Yangzhou Assassin Shi Leqiu, and gathered 100,000 troops in Huainan and Huaibei, plus 40,000 or 50,000 new soldiers in Yangzhou, claiming to be 300,000 people, and there was a year of grain, which was far more than ten times stronger than Wang Ling and Yiqiu Jian.
He also sent his son Zhuge Liang to Eastern Wu for help, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Wu army came to meet him under the guidance of the general Wen Qin. Zhuge Shi then accepted the official position of Eastern Wu and was appointed as the Great Wu Zuo Du Protector, False Festival, Great Situ, Grand General of the Horse Riding, Qingzhou Mu, and marquis of Shouchun. Zhuge Shi was so reused by Eastern Wu that he jumped up with joy.
However, the Zhennan general Wang Ji sent by Sima Zhao only besieged Shouchun on three sides, leaving one side to let Wen Qin enter the city with the vanguard of the Wu army. Later, Sima Zhao saw that Wang Ji could not determine Shouchun, so after stabilizing Luoyang, he threatened Emperor Wei and the empress dowager to march east to Huainan.
When Sima Zhao arrived at Xiangcheng, the total strength of the army was 260,000. He immediately ordered Wang Ji and the Andong general Chen Qian to seal all sides of Shouchun, and then deployed another heavy siege on the periphery, dug a deep trench around the city, and built a high fortress to encircle the city of Shouchun. He also ordered the overseers Shi Bao and Yanzhou Assassin Shi Zhoutai to lead troops to prepare for the enemy troops who rushed to the periphery.
Zhuge Shi and Wen Qin tried to break through several times, but all of them were knocked back into the city. The Wu general Zhu Yi led a heavy army to rescue him, but he was also defeated many times, so that Wu Cheng Xiangsun Qi killed him in anger. There was less and less grain in Shouchun City, and hundreds of thousands of people and horses could not wait for foreign aid, and the military was in chaos. The Huainan military generals Jiang Ban and Jiao Yiben were zhuge birthday confidants, and within a few days they abandoned him and came out of the city to surrender to Sima Zhao.
Sima Zhao also took advantage of Zhu Yi's death to submit a letter to the Wu general Quan Yi in the city, so that he was also afraid of being reprimanded for the defeat of the army, and actually led thousands of his men out of the city to surrender, and the soldiers and horses in the city were shocked and even more frightened.
Zhuge Zhi and Wen Qin really had no choice but to do everything they could to break through to the south, and Sima Zhao also ordered the army to concentrate all the rockets and artillery stones to block the attack of the Huainan Army, so that the corpses were all over the field and the blood was flowing. Zhuge Shi and the others still could not rush out, and returned to the city, where the grain had been eaten, and the number of people who had left the city and surrendered without permission had reached tens of thousands.
At this time, Wen Qin made a suggestion to Zhuge Zhi, that is, to let all the northerners in the city go out of the city to make a living for themselves, while leaving only Wu Bing to stick with them in the city. Wen Qin said: "The northern people are all Wei people, they are not allowed to go out of the city, they also come out of their ears, and the military's heart is gradually chaotic, how to hold on for a long time?" The Wu people are all coming from the south, there is no way to retreat, they will fight to the death, and once the northerners go, the grain in the city can still be maintained for several days. ”
Zhuge Zhi said, "I am a northerner, and the masses are scattered, so why should I be ashamed?" The Wu people will also harm my ears!" So he didn't listen to Wen Qin's plan, and suspected that he had different ambitions, and the two had a gap. Before Zhuge Tian betrayed Yuqiu Jian, he had already provoked Wen Qin to complain about him, and now the disagreement deepened the hatred between the two.
Zhuge Thought that Wen Qin would harm him sooner or later, so he booby-trapped and killed Wen Qin on the pretext of deliberation. Wen Qin's sons Wen Duan and Wen Hu were stationed in the small city next to Shouchun, and when they heard that their father had been killed, they were furious and rushed to the crown for a while, and they were about to kill xiangcheng with their soldiers and horses, not wanting to take their generals but refusing to obey their orders, so Wen Duan and Wen Hu abandoned their troops and left the city to surrender to Sima Zhao.
At that time, the law enforcement officials requested the murder of the Wen brothers, and Sima Zhao said: "Wen Qin rebelled twice, and then surrendered to the enemy state of Eastern Wu, and led Kou to commit crimes, the crime is not to be condemned, his two sons are also accomplices to capital crimes, they should have killed the law, but the two of them returned to the city in a desperate way, at this time Shouchun has not yet been pulled, and the killing and surrender will make everyone in the city unite, so when will we be able to break through this city?" So he ordered that the Wen brothers' capital crimes be pardoned, and ordered them to lead hundreds of cavalry around the city every day and shout: "The son of Wen Qin is still not killed, and the generals in the city will soon surrender, what else do you have to fear?" ”
Soon everyone in the city knew that Wen Duan and Wen Hu had been awarded the post of general and given the title of Marquis of Guannei, so everyone thought about going out of the city and surrendering. Zhuge Zhi and wu general Tang Zhi and others were exhausted, crying and screaming all day long, helpless.
At this time, the great general Sima Zhao personally came to the front and ordered heavy troops on all sides to attack the city, and the soldiers in the city actually did not resist at all, waiting for the Wei soldiers to enter the city, Zhuge Shi was frightened to take a small horse, and with a few relatives and soldiers, he wanted to break out of the small city gate. Not wanting to be met by Sima Zhaobu's general Hu Fen, he beheaded Zhuge Zhi under his horse with one sword, and passed it on to Luoyang to destroy his three tribes, but hundreds of Zhuge Zhi's soldiers resolutely refused to surrender, and all shouted loudly: "Die for Zhuge Gong, die without hatred!" Sima Zhao, seeing that he had won the hearts and minds of the people, immediately beheaded all these pro-soldiers to intimidate the people of Huainan. And the more than 10,000 generals of the Wu army were all masked and ashamed, and surrendered to Sima Zhao, and their blades were piled up as high as a hill.
At that time, many people believed that the three rebellions in Huainan were all involved by the State of Wu, and that all the troops of the Wu army should be killed in the pit and could not be left alive, and Sima Zhao said: "The ancient use of troops, the whole country is the best, and it is only evil to kill them!" So all the Wu soldiers were released, not a single one was killed, and all those who were willing to surrender were placed in the nearby counties.
At that time, when the people of the world talked about Zhuge Birthday, they all said: "The three brothers of the Langya Zhuge clan, Shu DeqiLong (Zhuge Liang), Wu Deqi Hu (Zhuge Jin), Wei Deqi, but the dog brother Zhuge Zhi followed Wang Ling and Yi Qiu Jian, and raised troops to Huainan and the three anti-Sima clans, although the reputation was extremely high for a while, the momentum was once extremely strong, but because of his great ambitions, he did not have the same far-sightedness as his second cousin Zhuge Liang, and he responded like a god, and he could not protect the territory and the people like his brother Zhuge Jin, so that the square inch of the land was solid. Cautious beginning and end, in the end, the clan was cursed, and the blood was smeared on the ground, if Sima Zhao was too treacherous, wouldn't it be too absurd! ”
Later, Zhuge Liang, the son of Zhuge Liang, also became the Grand Sima of Eastern Wu, and was deeply valued, and became a friend of Wu Cheng Xiang Zhang Ti. Zhuge Shi's daughter also became Sima Yi's daughter-in-law, that is, the wife of Sima Zhao's half-brother Sima Ling, after The Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan unified the world, Sima Ling was made the King of Langya, Eastern Wu perished, and Zhuge Liang was also taken to the Jin capital Luoyang, but Sima Yan never saw Zhuge Liang, who had played with him since childhood, come to see him, and later he guessed that it must be his aunt, that is, Zhuge Liang's sister Princess Langya.
So he personally went to the Palace of Langya to find him, zhuge Liang, in order to avoid killing the son of his father's enemy, hid in the lavatory and did not dare to come out to meet him, and Emperor Wu of Jin shouted through the door of the latrine: "Zhongsi (Zhuge Liang's small characters) Have you ever remembered the friendship between the two of us when we were young in my grandfather's house?" Zhuge Liang cried, "Don't push me anymore, I didn't paint myself and scrape my face off, but now I have to face Your Majesty's enemy, which is really extremely hateful!" After Emperor Wu of Jin listened, he had no choice, so he let him go by himself, and Zhuge Liang returned to his hometown to live in seclusion behind closed doors, and did not sit facing north for life to clarify his ambitions!
How did a book boy who stole the heavenly son's property and robbed the princes of the Ten Roads become a "scoundrel" tyrant?
