The most capable person in the Three Kingdoms! It was actually related to Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan was teased
There were many talented strategists in the Three Kingdoms era, but they did not necessarily have a good end, because on the road to politics, it was not just talented, but also the taste of the monarch, knowing how to pat the horse's ass, otherwise a talented and mouthy person like Yang Xiu would end up with a tragic death! However, the person who was the most capable of patting horses in the Three Kingdoms era actually fell into Zhuge s house, but of course it was not Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was clever and calculating, and he did not need to rely on patting horses, but someone else.

Those who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms, for who is the most capable of patting their backs, many scholars and experts will think of one person, that is, Zhuge Ke; Zhuge Ke (203-253), the character Yuanxun, Lang Evil Yangdu (present-day Yinan, Shandong) people. During the Three Kingdoms period, he was the son of Zhuge Jin, a major minister of Eastern Wu, and a powerful vassal of Eastern Wu. Zhuge Ke was in Wuguan to Taifu. On his deathbed, Sun Quan served as an auxiliary chancellor and assisted Crown Prince Sun Liang.
After Sun Liang ascended the throne, Zhuge Ke monopolized military and political affairs, initially won the hearts and minds of the people, and after the victory of Dongxing, he was quite popular, and later he exhausted his troops and developed a heart of light enemy, and sent troops to fight Wei in a big way, and was defeated by Xincheng. After the return to the Dynasty, it was arbitrary. In the second year of Jianxing (253), he was killed by Emperor Sun Liang and the minister Sun Jun, who was fifty-one years old. After Sun Xiu ascended the throne, he was able to rehabilitate Zhaoxue.

Zhuge Ke was very intelligent from an early age, he was the eldest son of the Sun Wu general Zhuge Jin and the nephew of Zhuge Liang of the Shu Kingdom, and was regarded as a child prodigy from an early age; therefore, he left behind quite a few classic stories. When Zhuge Ke was still a small hairy child, because Zhuge Ke's father Zhuge Jin had a narrow face like a donkey's face. One day, while talking and laughing with the ministers, Sun Quan joked with Zhuge Jin, sent someone to lead a donkey, and hung a piece of paper on the donkey's face, writing: Zhuge Ziyu (Ziyu is Zhuge Jin's word).
Everyone laughed happily. When Zhuge Ke saw this, he calmly knelt down and asked Sun Quan to give him a pen. Sun Quan asked someone to give it to him, and Zhuge Ke added two more words under the four words: "Donkey." Everyone saw that this little hairy child was calm and quick in front of the minister, and they all praised it, and Sun Quan laughed even more happily, so he gave this donkey to Zhuge Ke.

Zhuge Ke's quick thinking is more than this, why is it said that Zhuge Ke was the first person to pat himself on the back in the Three Kingdoms era, it is said that Zhuge Ke was Zhuge Liang's nephew, at that time everyone knew that Zhuge Liang was high in eight buckets, clever and calculating, and was recognized as one of the most powerful military experts;
Once, Sun Quan saw Zhuge Ke and asked him, "Who is better than your father (Zhuge Jin) or your uncle (Zhuge Liang)?" Zhuge Ke replied, "My father is relatively good." Sun Quan smiled and said, your uncle Zhuge Liang is a minister in Liu Bei's place, under one person, above ten thousand people, your father Zhuge Jin is just an ordinary general in me, why do you say that your father is better?
Zhuge Ke has been very intelligent since he was a child
Zhuge Ke said: "My father knows who to serve as a monarch, while my uncle does not know, so my father is better." Sun Quan laughed and ordered Zhuge Ke to pour wine for everyone in turn. And this sentence also made Sun Quan happy all day.
Although Zhuge Ke is not as talented as many strategists in the Three Kingdoms, but the kung fu of patting horses is first-class, the highest realm of patting horses is to make the other party not feel that you are patting horses, and only after knowing the meaning does you suddenly realize that it was originally praising him, this zhuge Ke did, even in modern times, this point is also very useful!
Although Zhuge Ke was not as talented as many strategists in the Three Kingdoms, his kung fu was first-class
