The Question of the Three Kingdoms: Why are Sima Yi's sons dragons and tigers, but Zhuge Liang's sons are much inferior?

Zhuge Liang, presumably already a household name, has already been a household name, and his outstanding political and military talents have amazed future generations. It is said that "the father of the tiger has no dog", but Kong Ming's son is of no great use, and he only has the word "loyalty and filial piety" in his life. Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were both chancellors, and compared with his son, Kong Ming's son appeared to be a bit of a straw bag, why was this?

Sima Yi, a famous politician and military figure during the Three Kingdoms period, and the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty, was a heavy minister who assisted the Wei state, and later became a powerful minister who controlled the government of the Wei state. From this point of view, he and Zhuge Liang can be said to be on a par, and the two often meet on the battlefield as hostile forces. Sima Yi had nine sons, namely Sima Shi the Jing Emperor of Jin, Sima Zhao the Emperor of Jin, Sima Gan the Prince of Pingyuan, Sima Liang the Prince of Runan, Sima Ling the Prince of Lang, Sima Jing the Marquis of Qinghuiting, Sima Jun the Prince of Fufengwu, Sima Xuan the Prince of Liangxiao, and Sima Lun the Prince of Zhao.

The Question of the Three Kingdoms: Why are Sima Yi's sons dragons and tigers, but Zhuge Liang's sons are much inferior?

It can be seen that Sima Yi's sons can be said to be all dragons and phoenixes among people, especially the sentence "Sima Zhao's heart, known to passers-by" is even more written on the side of Sima Zhao's extraordinary. In contrast, Zhuge Liang's son was obviously not enough to see. It is rumored that Zhuge Liang had three sons and a daughter, and since one of them was a righteous son, and two are not recorded in the canonical history, it will not be discussed here.

The Question of the Three Kingdoms: Why are Sima Yi's sons dragons and tigers, but Zhuge Liang's sons are much inferior?

It is said that Zhuge Zhan, who attacked the Marquis of Wuxiang. In the seventh year of Yanxi (244), Zhuge Zhan served as the general of Yulin Zhonglang, and because of his father Zhuge Liang, whenever the imperial court issued a good government decree, although it was not zhuge Zhan's suggestion, the people would also tell each other: "This is what Zhuge Wuxiang Hou advocated." Therefore, Zhuge Zhan's good name has been exaggerated, and some of it is exaggerated. After Mianzhu resisted the enemy, Zhuge Zhan did not listen to Huang Chongsu's advice to take advantage of the danger, lost his military plane, and went out of the city to fight with Deng Ai, the soldiers were defeated and killed, and Mianzhu was lost. After the lord Liu Chan surrendered, the Shu kingdom perished. Leave a word in vain"

I don't have to make Jiang Wei except Huang Hao, I don't make Jiang Wei outside, I don't keep Jiangyou, I have three sins, what is the opposite? ”

In fact, Zhuge Liang cannot be blamed for this situation. Zhuge Liang bowed to Shu Han all his life, and after his death, he only had a son at the age of 46, that is, Zhuge Zhan, but Zhuge Liang was too busy with the society to raise and educate this son. It is even more regrettable that when Zhuge Zhan was eight years old, his father died of exhaustion and illness, leaving only a letter of the Book of Commandments as a final gift.

The Question of the Three Kingdoms: Why are Sima Yi's sons dragons and tigers, but Zhuge Liang's sons are much inferior?

So what does the Book of Commandments say? Let's take a look:

"The journey of a husband and a gentleman is to cultivate oneself quietly and cultivate virtue through thriftiness." There is no clarity without tranquility, and there is no distance without tranquility. Husbands must learn quietly, only then must they learn, non-learning can not be widely talented, non-ambition can not be learned. Obscene slowness cannot be encouraged, and dangerous impatience cannot be smelted. The year and the hour, the intention and the day, the withering, the many do not inherit the world, the sorrow of the poor, will be restored! ”

From the text, it can be seen that Zhuge Liang was a father of high character and profound learning, and his earnest teachings and infinite expectations for his son are all in this book. However, the text only teaches the son how to become a gentleman, and at such a time when the Shu Han is in such danger, it is obviously useless to become a gentleman alone, and for Zhuge Zhan, who does not have his father's teaching, how can we hope that he will become a great instrument? Therefore, compared with Sima Yi, who always took his son with him to raise, zhuge liang's son was much worse.

No matter how clever a child is, how can it be done without being carefully taught? If Zhuge Liang had not died early due to overwork and other reasons, would Zhuge Zhan's life have changed, and would the fate of the Shu Kingdom have changed?
