At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was another chaotic era in history, during which the masses rose up and the warlords divided the territory. Entering the Three Kingdoms period, the situation of the Three Kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu competing for hegemony was presented, and all countries had various powerful figures, and Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang mentioned in this article were extremely intelligent people and opponents. Zhuge Liang was clever and calculating, and sima Yi was not a simple figure, and he died three generations of emperors of Cao Wei and became the actual ruler. It is said that the two are so smart, but why are the descendants completely different?
First of all, Zhuge Liang did not have so many descendants in his life, he raised his brother's son, and his own son only had one, called Zhuge Zhan, but although this person also had some wisdom, he was not as outstanding as Zhuge Liang, and died at the age of 37. At that time, this person was still somewhat famous, but his descendants did not have any outstanding performance, they were all mediocre people. Sima Yi had many children, and his wives and concubines bore him nine sons, of which Sima Shi and Sima Zhao both had outstanding abilities.
Secondly, the growth environment and education of the two sides are different. The Sima family has always been wary of the Cao family, so the family lives like a thin ice, trembling. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao grew up in such an environment, learned a lot of things from their father, and also went to war with their father, so it is not surprising that they can be excellent in all aspects. Although Zhuge Liang often went out on expeditions, he did not let his son experience and study, nor did he have much time to educate him, so Zhuge Zhan did not get experience and had no actual combat experience.
In addition, when Zhuge Liang was alive, the strength of Shu Han was not stronger than that of Eastern Wu and Cao Wei, but it could also resist Cao Wei, but once he died, Shu Han had no capable people who could come out to preside over the overall situation, and Zhuge Zhan, who lacked ability, could not save it. Sima Yi, on the other hand, lived a very long life, not only experienced three generations of Cao Wei kings, but no one was able to overwhelm him, and finally Cao Wei's actual power was also in his hands, laying the foundation for his descendants to establish the Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, it should be said that Zhuge Liang's children and grandchildren did not have an instrument, but Sima Yi's sons were all outstanding in ability, like dragons and tigers. It is also because Zhuge Liang did not have so many sons, nor could he inherit his resourcefulness, and he did not live longer, and his education was also insufficient. On the contrary, Sima Yi had the advantage, not only lived a long time, but also knew how to educate his children and grandchildren, gave birth to so many sons, and also guaranteed to cultivate two good seedlings, so people also had such a saying.
