In 241 AD, the General of the Eastern Wu Zhuge Jin died of illness at the age of 68. After Zhuge Jin died, according to his instructions during his lifetime, he kept his funeral simple and wasted.
We all know that Zhuge Jin was one of the important officials of Sun Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He can be compared with the famous ministers of the Eastern Wu Zhang Zhao . However, if we look back on history, we will find that Zhuge Jin did not accomplish anything in his life, but he could still be promoted step by step and become one of the important officials of the Eastern Wu. So what is the reason? made Zhuge Jin promote step by step and become one of the important officials of the Eastern Wu? Next, the author will combine historical documents to explain the reasons.
Entering Jiangdong, he became Wuchen
Zhuge Jin was born in the Zhuge clan of Langya. When he was a teenager, he was knowledgeable and talented, respected the elderly and loved the young. He was a famous young talented man.
Fifth year of Jian'an, 26-year-old Zhuge Jin was worried that the war in the Central Plains would spread to where he lived, so he moved his family to Jiangdong. After coming to Jiangdong, Zhuge Jin had the fate to meet Qu A's wise man Hongzi. Hongzi's identity was extremely unusual. He was not only a celebrity of Qu A, but also the brother-in-law of the Lord of Jiangdong Sun Quan .
After communicating with Zhuge Jin, Hongzi found that Zhuge Jin was a talented person, so he recommended Zhuge Jin to Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong who was recruiting talents and expanding his strength.
After Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, met Zhuge Jin, he was impressed by Zhuge Jin's external good image. He immediately recruited Zhuge Jin and worked with Lusu and other advisers to give advice for himself.
" Three Kingdoms ": Zhuge Jin's courtesy name is Ziyu, and he is from Yangdu, Langya. At the end of the Han Dynasty, avoiding chaos in the east of the Yangtze River. Sun Ce was 5 times in the school. Sun Quan's sister and son-in-law Qu Ahong consulted and differently, recommended him to Quan, and met Lu Su and others. Later, he became the chief of Quan and transferred to Sima.
After Zhuge Jin became a counselor in Jiangdong, he became close friends with Jiangdong wise men step wise men and Yan Qing. The three of them traveled together, grew up together, and became the rising stars in Jiangdong.
"Three Kingdoms·Volume 52·Book of Wu Seven·Book of Zhang Gu, Zhuge Bu Biography of Zhuge Bu" Pei Songzhi's notes quoted "Book of Wu": After more than a year, he was eliminated due to illness. He traveled to Wuzhong with Zhuge Jin and Yan Yan of Langya, and was famous and was handsome at that time.
It is precisely because Zhuge Jin became famous in Jiangdong that the Lord of Jiangdong Sun Quan entrusted Zhuge Jin with important tasks and promoted him to Haiyan County Magistrate and Chief Shi.
Life and death are not easy
After Zhuge Jin entered Jiangdong and became a minister of the Eastern Wu, he did not do anything on the 40-year career of the Eastern Wu, but he was promoted step by step, from the position of chief and general from the position of . So what exactly made Zhuge Jin promote Zhuge Jin step by step?
The author believes that there are three main reasons, which make Zhuge Jin rise step by step, namely:
first, Zhuge Jin's tone, his words are not urgent, and he did not make any discomfort by Master Wu Sun Quan. Zhuge Jin can be regarded as a Confucian minister, speaking and doing things in an orderly manner, not impatient or impatient. When he advised Master Wu Sun Quan, his tone was peaceful and there was no conflict, which well maintained the face of Master Wu Sun Quan and did not embarrass Sun Quan at all. Therefore, Master Wu Sun Quan liked to listen to and adopt Zhuge Jin's advice very much.
. On the contrary, for example, Wujun prefect Zhu Zhi and the old minister Zhang Zhao, when they advised Wu Lord Sun Quan, they spoke urgently and rudely, which made Wu Lord Sun Quan very embarrassed and passive, and were filled with resentment.
Second, Zhuge Jin and Wu Lord Sun Quan Life and death are not easy, the king and ministers are united, In 221 AD, Shu Lord Liu Bei raised troops to attack the Eastern Wu. At that time, Zhuge Jin was stationed in Nanjun . Some people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to slander Zhuge Jin in front of Wu Lord Sun Quan, saying that Zhuge Jin secretly had an affair with Shu Lord Liu Bei, with a ill intention.
As the leader of the Eastern Wu Lu Xun After hearing this, he immediately stated that will protect Zhuge Jin. After reading Lu Xun's advice, the Lord of Wu Sun Quan said to Lu Xun: Gou and Zhuge Jin have worked with him for many years, and have a vow of life and death. He is a person who values loyalty and kindness.
In the past, Zhuge Liang As an envoy of Shu Han, he sent Zhuge Jin to stay Zhuge Liang for my use of the Eastern Wu, but Zhuge Jin said: Zhuge Liang has followed Liu Bei and became his aide. As the saying goes, has no different intentions, Zhuge Liang will not use it for my Eastern Wu, just like a minister will not leave Dongwu and turn to another country.
Zhuge Jin's words are so wise. If we talk about the righteousness between the king and the minister in the current world, Gu and Zhuge Jin can definitely be said to be "godly friendship". This is not something that some people with ulterior motives can get apart. I understand your intentions. Please pass this letter to Zhuge Jin so that he can understand your good intentions.
"Three Kingdoms": Liu Bei attacked Wu in the east, and the King of Wu asked for peace. Jin and Bei said to him: "I heard that the flags and drums came to Baidi. I may be afraid that the minister would argue that the King of Wu invaded this state, which would harm this state, which would harm Guan Yu, and that the great disaster should be great. It is not appropriate to answer peace. This is to be focused on the small, but not pay attention to the big ones. Try to discuss the severity and size of your Majesty. If Your Majesty suppresses his power and anger and rushes to Jin's words, he can decide immediately and will not consult the group behind him. Your Majesty, how is Guan Yu's relatives like the previous emperor? What is the size of Jingzhou? What is the size of the country? Who should be the first to respond to the hatred? If you examine this number, it is easy to turn your hands around." At that time, some people said that Jin sent relatives to Bei to hear the news. , Quan said: "Gou and Ziyu have a vow of life and death. Ziyu's failure to let go of me is just as if I am the same as the Lord of Wu and the Lord of Eastern Wu, we can see that Lord of Wu Sun Quan regards Zhuge Jin as a good teacher and friend, and always firmly believe in Zhuge Jin's character and work. No matter how some people with ulterior motives slander Zhuge Jin, Wu Sun Quan was unmoved and always stood on Zhuge Jin's side and became Zhuge Jin's strong backing. In the subsequent period, he continued to promote Zhuge Jin's position to express his support for Zhuge Jin.
Third, Zhuge Jin spoke up for justice and pleaded with love for his colleagues, which made the Lord of Wu Sun Quan attach great importance to Zhuge Jin. Eastern Wu The counselor Yu Fan contradicted Sun Quan many times. Sun Quan was angry and wanted to execute him. After Zhuge Jin learned about this, he advised him to plead for Yu Fan, which allowed Yu Fan to save his life.
was eventually exiled Jiaozhou . Yu Fan was very grateful to Zhuge Jin for this and praised Zhuge Jin for his character in his letters to his relatives. After Master Wu Sun Quan learned about this, he valued Zhuge Jin more and more, and he would seek Zhuge Jin's opinions on important military and political affairs.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Yu Fan was drifting wildly, and Wei Jin repeatedly said that. He wrote to him in his close letter: "Zhuge Dunren is a living creature in heaven, which is comparable to the Qing Dynasty, and has the ability to protect the difference. He has accumulated deep evil and has a serious attitude. Even if he is saved by Mr. Qi, his virtue is not a sheep's tongue, and it is difficult to explain." Jin was a man with his appearance and thoughts, and he was impressed by his elegance at the time. The power is also important, and the visits are made for major matters.
Therefore, based on the above three points, we can know the main reason why Zhuge Jin did not accomplish anything in his life, but why he rose step by step, that is, the life and death of Lord Wu Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin are not easy, and the king and minister are united, and always regard Zhuge Jin as their close ministers.
