<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" >01 preamble</h1>
Anyone who has seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will have a deep impression, that is, zhuge liang and Zhuge Jin, two brothers, worked in hostile camps such as Liu Bei and Sun Quan respectively, and not only were they not affected in any way, but they were also quite well mixed.
Zhuge Liang did not ask, Liu Bei was alive for Zhuge Liang basically to obey, in Liu Bei's original words is "like a fish in the water", for a moment can not be separated from this big butler; after Liu Bei's death, it is even more remarkable, the later lord Liu Chan called him "Xiang Father", and basically handed over all political affairs to Zhuge Liang, and completely trusted the other party.
The encounter between kings and subjects, a model for thousands of years
Although Zhuge Jin did not make any great contributions in Eastern Wu, he always had the official fortune and prosperity, was deeply trusted by Sun Quan, started from a staff member, and at his peak became a great general, Zuo Duhu, and led YuZhou Mu.
The most puzzling thing is that compared with Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lü Meng, Lu Xun and many other high-ranking officials who have made great contributions to Eastern Wu, Zhuge Jin's ending is undoubtedly the best one.
In the Three Kingdoms era, when the wind was surging and talents were emerging, what was Zhuge Jin's superiority and could he become a tumbler in the official field?

Zhuge Jin was born in 174 AD, 7 years older than his younger brother Zhuge Liang, who was born in 181 AD.
Most of the friends who like the history of the Three Kingdoms know that the Zhuge family was not originally from Jingzhou, but the brothers died early because of their father's death, coupled with the continuous war in the north, so they came with their uncle to join Liu Biao, the bearer of Jingzhou.
Unfortunately, Liu Biao, who is "a capable minister who governs the world and a mediocre talent in a chaotic world", was not born at the right time, he had no ambitions, he only wanted to guard his own acres and three points of land, in the words of Teacher Yi Zhongtian, Liu Biao was a "beautiful straw bag", these things Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang brothers had long looked at in the eyes, there was no hope for this nest of waste, and there was no Liu Biao in their life plan.
Liu Table
Around 200 AD, when Zhuge Jin, who was already 26 years old, was separated from his family when he went out and wandered, he wandered to Jiangdong alone, but gold always shines, and he soon met the first noble man in his life, Hongzhi.
Although this Hongzhi did not leave much mark in history, he also had a very prominent identity, he was Sun Jian's son-in-law, in other words, Sun Quan's brother-in-law, in the State of Wu, he was a true top imperial relative.
In this way, Zhuge Jin was taken to Sun Quan's side and began his own life of opening and hanging.
After some temptation, Sun Quan let Zhuge Jin stay by his side as a long history, which was not a particularly large official title during the two Han dynasties and three kingdoms, but it was very important, in today's terms, it was the director of the leading office or the secretary general, which was a typical staff work, and accompanied the leader all day to give advice or sort out copywriting and so on.
Put yourself in the shoes of the leader and think about it, knowing that this is a real fat shortage, because he can accompany the leader every day, and second, he can contact the core secrets of the entire group, and the people who can do this work are undoubtedly the leaders' confidants, and the others are too late to settle down, and what does the size of the official rank matter?
In this way, Zhuge Jin began his life of befriending and deep friendship with Sun Quan, and his whole life was used by Sun Quan, and even after his death, he mourned continuously, and his son Zhuge Ke was also arranged by Sun Quan to be a minister of life.
Then, we can't help but ask, what does Zhuge Jin rely on?
Zhuge Brothers
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="26" >03 The secret of the official tumbler</h1>
First, character determines destiny.
The influence of personality on anyone's life is unquestionable, especially for people who are mixed up in the official arena.
You are sharp, the people around you do not like you, everyone will unite to exclude you, even the boss will not like, just like Yang Xiu, who is smart and is mistaken by the wisdom of the people in ancient and modern China and abroad is simply like a cow hair; but if you only know the promise, when you encounter anything, you dare not come out, it is even worse, you can only be eaten as a dish.
Zhuge Jin's biggest personality characteristic is that he is loyal and hides needles in the cotton, since his younger brother Zhuge Liang was born out of nowhere and became the brightest star, without Sun Quan's arrangement, he would never privately communicate with his brother, whether it was the Ru Nahui before the Battle of Chibi, or Liu Bei's death and Wu Shu's re-joining forces, spanning such a long time, Zhuge Jin has always been so cautious.
I think that Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, who are both extremely intelligent people in history, have made preparations and tacit understanding in this regard before their debut, and since the two brothers have defected to different camps on both sides for the future of the entire family, they must give up their brotherly feelings first, public and private, otherwise they will not know how to die in the face of those heroes.
In the "Yongzheng Dynasty", the sixth uncle Tong Guowei also made the same arrangement as his own nephew Long Keduo at the critical time when the ninth son of Kangxi took the wife, and the two sides bet on the treasure with great success, but unfortunately Long Keduo did not have the political consciousness of zhuge Jin brothers, and finally died too unworthy, and also died too tragically, and a minister who took care of his life died in the stables.
Long Keduo failed to live up to Tong Guowei's high hopes and also harmed the entire family
Second, the times create heroes.
This is also a very important reason, although Zhuge Jin debuted before Zhuge Liang, there is no doubt that the influence of his younger brother Zhuge Liang in that era was unprecedented, and after Liu Bei's death, he had become the de facto leader of the Shu State, controlling one-third of the world's military and horse money and grain.
If Zhuge Jin had defected to the most powerful Cao Wei regime, for the Cao Wei regime that was anxious to unify the world, Zhuge Liang was the biggest troublemaker, and how Zhuge Jin behaved and disguised was useless, he was at most Xu Shu's second, and it would be good to keep a safe place all his life, and it would not be bad to be promoted to a rich man.
While Zhuge Jin was working under Sun Quan's account, both Sun Quan and Liu Bei were weaker than Cao Wei, so the strategy they adopted was tacit, that is, offensive defense, or active defensive strategy, on this basis, if you want to make a difference, you must rely on each other, and no one wants to have Guan Yu being wrapped in dumplings on both sides.
Therefore, in this case, Zhuge Jin is a mascot and a manifestation of Sun Quan's attitude, and he serves as an envoy between the two countries, often playing a role that is difficult for others to achieve!
Sun Quan's employment was far above Zhuge Liang's
Third, Sun Quan's deliberate balancing strategy
Finally, we have to talk about a deeper problem, which we cannot see in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and can only be tasted by reading the canonical history of "Three Kingdoms Policy".
There was a problem of the fusion of two forces in Jiangdong, where Zhuge Jin was located at that time, on the one hand, the Jiangdong magnate group represented by Lu Xun and others, and on the other hand, the exile faction represented by Zhang Zhao zhuge jin.
Sun Quan, his father and brother always had an ambiguous attitude toward the four major families in Jiangdong, suppressing and having to use them while suppressing them, and when the situation was stable, they would find trouble with them, just like the treatment of the great hero Lu Xun.
And Zhang Zhao, as the top figure of the exile faction, was too high-profile, and he spoke as a minister of life at every turn, plus he was also a dove figure, which made Sun Quan very unhappy, and in the end, Zhuge Jin, as the second person in the exile faction, inevitably became a tidemaker under Sun Quan's balanced policy.
Zhang Zhao disappointed Sun Quan
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > conclusion</h1>
All in all, there has never been unprovoked love in this world, especially in a chaotic world like the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Jin became Sun Quan's confidant minister with an ordinary middle and lower talent, which had both his own caution and political self-consciousness of him and his brother Zhuge Liang, but more importantly, the general climate and international relations at that time determined personal destiny!
