But when I turn to the history of the Three Kingdoms and savor the life of this wise man, I can't help but sigh: his life was also full of sorrow.
In the fourth year of Emperor Lingdi's Guanghe reign in the Eastern Han Dynasty, 181 A.D., Zhuge Liang was born in Yangdu County, Luangmu. But when he was just learning, his mother died; at the age of eight, his father passed away, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the young Zhuge Liang. He may not have been a wise man at a young age, but the tragedy of his life was one of the sorrows that followed his becoming a wise man.
In the first year of Emperor Xian's Xingping reign in the Eastern Han Dynasty, 194 A.D., Zhuge Liang arrived in Yuzhang with his uncle Zhuge Xuan, and then defected to Liu Biao of Jingzhou. How many people know the hardship of being uprooted from one's home town? Zhuge Xuan died soon afterward, and at the age of 17, Zhuge Liang decided to become self-sufficient and declined Liu Biao's help. After that, he spent ten years in Longzhong, far away from the war-torn environment, in the quiet mountains and forests, meditating and studying. Ten years of labor practice, make him close to the common people, but also make him have a far-reaching political ambitions, he compared himself to Guanzhong, Le Yi, hope that he can be out of the general into the prime minister.
Geliang Zhuge Liang is smart. Longzhong ten years, he found his own help, but also with their own erudition has won the "Crouching Dragon" nickname. This is not sad, but is the reason for his sad life. The story of "Three Gu Gu's Hut" has long been a favorite, but it was also because of the Three Gu's Hut that he ascended to the political arena, and his sad life really began.
The time of the three visits, Liu Bei is a to what nothing of the Lord, no power, no power, no land. Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, the battle of Red Cliff, the conquest of Xichuan, occupy Chengdu, so the world marveled: "get Wolong, that is, get half of the world!" But what Zhuge Liang lost in the process was the true fellowship with his own brother. Most of the episodes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms are not credible, but that story should have some truth in it. That is, when Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to ask Liu Bei for Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei made a play to trick Zhuge Jin. Although it is reasonable for each of them to do so, for Zhuge Liang, who lost his parents at a young age, his brother should be the closest person to him! Isn't it sad to lie to one's nearest and dearest?
Shu Zhangwu first year, 221 AD, Liu Bei called the emperor. From then on Zhuge Liang's relationship with Liu Bei became that of a ruler and a minister, and for his great contribution to the establishment of Shu, Zhuge Liang had to be a little more restrained in front of his master. Therefore, when Liu Bei was going to attack Wu to avenge Guan and Zhang, all the ministers dissuaded Liu Bei, but he was the only one who advised the least. Because he knew very well that the feelings of Liu, Guan and Zhang were beyond brothers, beyond ruler and minister, and that Liu Bei's feelings for his sworn brothers were far more than Liu Bei's for himself. Therefore, for Liu Bei's attack on Wu, he only sighed longingly, "If Fa Xiaozhi were here, he would have been able to restrain his lord from traveling east."
Liu Bei Baidi City, said to Zhuge Liang: "Jun talent ten times Cao Pi, will be able to settle the country, the end of the great things. If the heir can be assisted, it will be assisted; if he is not talented, you can be the Lord of Chengdu." Speaking in a grandiose manner, Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang a sharp edge, he is suspicious of his own death, Zhuge Liang will be the lord of Chengdu ah! For Liu Bei this sharp edge, Zhuge Liang will not be invisible, as a human subject, by the master to doubt their own loyalty, this should be the biggest sorrow of every subject it!
Six out of Qishan, is helpless, more sad. "
This is the first time that I've ever seen a man die in a battle, and I've never seen a man die in a battle.
"Known as the heavenly three tripods, still exhausting the six divisions." Lastly, "the fate of the Han Dynasty will not be restored, the will of the body to wipe out the military service labor." Why is it bitter? The sadness ah!
Mr. Sima Hui, the water mirror, once said, "Although Wolong got his master, not the time, pity!"
When Zhuge Liang left the mountain, he said to his younger brother, Zhuge Jun: "I am honored by Uncle Liu's kindness, and I am not allowed to stay out. You can plow here, do not desert the acres. When I have accomplished my mission, I will return to my hometown."
Dying of illness in Wuzhangyuan, the autumn wind, a wise man's life ended in his unrewarded career, sighing and feeling, sad and weeping.
The yellowed pages of the history book, leaving behind the endless sorrow of this wise man!
