Zhuge Liang has four children, three sons and one daughter, one of whom is an adopted son and two sons. One is Zhuge Zhan and the other is Zhuge Huai.
Zhuge Zhan (227-263), the son of Zhuge Liang, was only 8 years old when Zhuge Liang died. The child has been smart since he was a child. He can write and draw, but Zhuge Liang thinks he is precocious and doesn't think he can achieve anything. Biography of the Three Kingdoms Shu Shu Zhuge Liang: "Zhan is 8 years old now, smart and lovely. I don't think he will be a Zhong Er." Zhuge Liang died on the way to the Northern Expedition shortly after he said this. When Zhuge Zhan 17 years old, he was recruited as Xu, and he was named as a captain on horseback. Later, he was promoted to the positions of commander-in-chief, archer, assistant, servant archer, and strategist in Yulin.
Zhuge Zhan was promoted by Zhuge Liang. On talent, it is really very general. As Zhuge Liang expected, "it is not a heavy weapon." But because of Zhuge Liang, people admired him, and finally rose to the position of general protector and commander-in-chief, on an equal footing with Dong Jue, the general of the auxiliary country.
In the winter of AD 6 (263), Wei led Wargo from Yinping to Sichuan via Jinggu Road. Zhuge Zhan led Shang Zun, Shang Huang Chong and Li Qiu, the right commander of Yu Lin, to lead the army to resist, but they lingered after arriving in Fucheng County. Huang Chong repeatedly suggested that Zhuge Liang quickly seize the dangerous terrain and prevent the enemy from entering the plain. Zhuge Zhan was self-righteous and didn't accept Huang Chong's suggestion. As a result, Wargo sent troops, the forward of the Shu army was defeated, and Zhuge Zhan had to retreat to Zhu Jin. Wargo sent messengers to seduce Zhuge Zhan: "If you are willing to surrender, I will make you an evil king." Zhuge Zhan was furious, killed the emissary of Wargo, and led the army to battle. At this time, Zhuge Zhan realized his mistake, determined to serve his country with death, and finally died in battle.
The battle of Fucheng County is like the battle of street kiosks in those years. Ma Su was headstrong, disobeyed Wang Ping and lost the street kiosks. Zhuge Zhan didn't listen to Huang Chong, and the Shu army was defeated. Zhuge Zhan was brave, but his death was not worth it. In the battle of Mianzhu, Zhuge Zhan's father and son Zhuge Shang and Zhang Fei's son Zhang Zun mutually assured destruction, which was really miserable.
Zhuge Zhan and his son died, leaving only Zhuge Liang and his youngest son Zhuge Huai. Zhuge Huai's records in the history books are few, except for a description in Zhang Shu's Collected Works of Wuhou in Qing Dynasty and Zhuge Zhong's Story Volume 1. Wang Lan, a famous teacher in the Jin Dynasty, suggested that the court call the descendants of famous ministers in the Han Dynasty to work in Beijing, but Zhuge Huai didn't arrive. According to the investigation, the court intended to make Zhuge Huai knighted, but he refused to say that he could be self-sufficient and had no talent to make up for the country. He was willing to be a civilian and die at home. Jin Xian Di agreed to his request. Zhuge Liang thinks he is "incompetent", which should not be modesty. It is better to be an official than to be improper. If he is really incompetent, it will embarrass Zhuge Aliang, so he is willing to be a civil servant.
Then, why didn't Zhuge Liang's sons succeed like him? This problem can't be explained by anything else, only by Feng Shui. When Zhuge Liang died, Zhuge Zhan was 8 years old and Zhuge Huai was even younger. The geomantic omen of Zhuge Liang's tomb directly affected his two sons.
Zhuge Liang's tomb is located at the foot of Dingjun Mountain in Mianxian County, Hanzhong City. "Shuijing Note" said: "Buried in its mountain, because of the terrain, there is no grave ridge." In order not to let Sima's family find his grave, Zhuge Liang adopted the method of dense burial after his death. The feng shui of its tomb is quite good, surrounded by eight streams in jiusan. There are "three copies" in front of the tomb, and there is a crescent moon in the second half of the tomb. This is the Nine-Five Dragon Cave. Under normal circumstances, Zhuge Liang's son should be the emperor. But Zhuge Liang was buried in a secret place, and he couldn't afford to bury the grave without erecting a monument. This excellent geomantic omen had the opposite effect, and Zhuge Liang's son was miserable. Like Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao was buried in secret, and no one knew where his real grave was. As a result, his son lost his country. Contrary to Zhuge Cao, Sima Yi was buried in shouyangshan, so Sima Shi took the world. But because Sima Yi has no trees, no graves and no funerary wares, he cannot protect himself for a long time. As a result, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was "the cow followed the horse" and the country belonged to the descendants of the cow. Si Marui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty should actually be called "Niu Rui", and his descendants are all surnamed Niu.
