Presumably, everyone has seen the book or TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Have you ever found that Sima Yi's two sons were very powerful?
Sima Yi was a cattle man like Zhuge Liang, and both were good at leading soldiers to fight.
Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang's abilities were comparable, but their sons were very different, and Zhuge Liang's sons behaved very badly.
This is strange, why did Zhuge Liang sow the dragon species and harvest fleas?
As we all know, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were the military divisions of the Wei and Shu states respectively, and looking at the entire Three Kingdoms era, only Sima Yi could really block Zhuge Liang's attack.
Although Sima Yi's strategy was slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang's, his reproductive ability was far superior to Zhuge Liang's.
Sima Yi had 9 sons, while Zhuge Liang had only one, and he was still an old man.
Many people think that Sima Yi had two sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, but they are not.
Sima Yi had nine sons, three of whom became emperor and one who became supreme consul.
Sima Yi's nine sons were: Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Sima You, Sima Liang, Sima Gan, Sima Jing, Sima Jun, Sima Tong, and Sima Lun.
It is often said that the nine sons of the dragon are different. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, who are familiar to everyone, were later posthumously crowned emperor by Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu.
The real emperor was Sima Yi's younger son Sima Lun, but Sima Lun, the emperor, was not recognized by the history books, he was only emperor for three months, and he climbed on the dragon chair by the chaos of the Eight Kings.
Sima Yi's fourth son, Sima Liang, served as Dazai during the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings". Dazai is Taishi, and because of the avoidance of Sima Shi's "shi" character, in the Jin Dynasty, "Taishi" was renamed "Dazai".
In any case, Sima Yi's sons were indeed older than Zhuge Liang's sons, and Zhuge Liang's grandchildren were all officials under the Sima family.
Don't talk about others, just say Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. These two brothers were Sima Yi's eldest and second sons, and were Sima Yi's right and left arms.
Without the help of these two sons, Sima Yi would not have been able to regain the military power that Cao Shuang had deprived him of in his later years.
After the success of the Gaopingling coup, it laid the foundation for the position of the grandfather in the State of Wei. In particular, the second son, Sima Zhao, had the power to depose the emperor.
There is an idiom called "Sima Zhao's heart, known to passers-by," which means that the emperor of the State of Wei must also rely on his nose, and the power of life and death is in the hands of Sima Zhao.
Looking at the life trajectory of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao' brothers, they are inseparable from the promotion, cultivation and tempering of their father Sima Yi.
For example, when Sima Yi led his soldiers to fight, he always took his two sons with him. Zhuge Liang burned the "Gourd Valley", and The third master almost died in the sea of fire, which was really "nine deaths in a lifetime".
When there was also the Coup d'état at Gaopingling, when Sima Yi had no military power and could not mobilize the army, his two sons secretly raised two thousand dead soldiers in the palace.
To put it bluntly, it is to raise underworld thugs, and these two thousand dead soldiers played a decisive role in the coup. Know that private soldiers are capital offenses for losing their heads.
The success of the coup is good to say that once it fails, the Sima family will be wiped out, think about how much pressure this is!
However, Sima Shi was calmer than Sima Zhao, and Sima Shi should eat and drink. Sima Zhao thought a lot and didn't close his eyes all night.
It can be seen that the two sons have their own strengths, Sima Shi tends to be brave, Sima Zhao tends to strategize, and the brothers complement each other's strengths and complement each other, shouldering heavy burdens and pressures for their fathers.
I think that when Cao Cao saw Sun Quan, he praised Sun Quan's heroism: "When you have a son, you should give birth to Sun Zhongmou." "I think Sima Shi and Sima Zhao are far superior to Sun Quan.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's wisdom was comparable, but Zhuge Liang's reproductive ability was far worse than Sima Yi's.
Zhuge Liang and his wife Huang Aqiu had not had children since their marriage, and at that time, medicine was not developed, and I did not know who was wrong.
In the blink of an eye, Zhuge Liang is more than 30 years old, and he still does not hold the household registration book. At this time, his elder brother Zhuge Jin passed on his younger son to him, and he could not let his younger brother die.
Zhuge Liang named his nephew Zhuge Qiao, and Zhuge Liang had very strict requirements for this stepson, marching and fighting to take him with him, the purpose of which was to train Zhuge Qiao to succeed him.
Zhuge Qiao was cultivated by his uncle to become a general of Yiwu and a lieutenant of The Horse...
However, the good times did not last long, and Zhuge Qiao died of illness at the age of 25.
Zhuge Liang's fireworks were broken again, but fortunately, the heavens admired his loyalty and gave Zhuge Liang one last chance, and when he was 46 years old, he was old and named Zhuge Zhan.
Strictly speaking, Zhuge Liang had a precious son, Zhuge Zhan.
Some people say that old people are generally smart, but I think that whether they are smart or not has little to do with old people, mainly to have a good educational environment and teachers.
There is a saying that parents are a child's first teachers. You see, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were Sima Yi's eldest and second sons, and they had been educated by Sima Yi for a long time, so they were very powerful.
Zhuge Zhan was Zhuge Liang's elder son, Zhuge Liang died at the age of 54, and Zhuge Zhan was only 7 years old when he died.
7-year-old children can't learn to line up, and the homework zhuge Liang arranged for his youngest son is probably to recite the Four Books and Five Classics. In other words, Zhuge Liang's military talents were not taught to his son, which was the biggest difference from Sima Yi's son Sima Shi Sima Zhao, in other words, Zhuge Zhan lost at the starting point.
In addition, Sima Yi's two sons had both served as generals of the State of Wei, and both had led soldiers and carried guns and fought.
Zhuge Liang's son, on the other hand, did not have these experiences. When he grew up, Zhuge Zhan became the dragon-riding concubine of Liu Chan, the emperor of the Shu Kingdom, all thanks to his father.
We all know that Liu Chan is incompetent enough, people send nicknamed Ah Dou who can't be supported, what skills can Zhuge Zhan learn by surrounding such people all day long?
Zhuge Zhan did not receive his father's true biography, and he also knew that his two sons were inferior to Sima Yi's two sons, and often blamed himself: "You can't balance Jiang Wei externally, and you can't eradicate adultery inside", that is, you admit that your literary and martial talents are not good.
Although the business is not good, loyalty is as unspeakable as the father.
At the time of the fall of the Shu state, Zhuge Zhan personally led troops to meet Deng Ai, but unfortunately his loyalty was insufficient.
He had had enough time to accidentally wipe Out Deng Ai in the canyon.
Unfortunately, Zhuge Zhan did not learn his father's skills, and in order to show fairness, he even let Deng Ai go to the land of the plains to fight to the death.
The fighter plane was fleeting, Zhuge Zhan lost the opportunity, Deng Ai changed from passive to active, and destroyed Zhuge Zhan and his son Zhuge Shang and his army in one fell swoop, and the Shu state eventually went to ruin.
Throughout Zhuge Zhan's life, his performance was indeed mediocre, compared to Sima Shi Sima Zhao, it was simply a heaven and an underground.
Then again, if Zhuge Zhan had been born a few years earlier and had been taught and cultivated by his father in the process of growing up, I do not expect that the Shu kingdom would have perished.
But history does not assume that what should come will always come, or the Shu kingdom can perish?
