Chapter 982 Not a good person
"Phoenix man?" Sun Quan asked again stupidly.

"Fly onto the tree and become a phoenix! It's usually not a proverb for a woman who marries well. The meaning is the same for a phoenix man. However, it refers to a man who becomes successful because of marrying a good wife." Ou Mengmeng decided to explain it to her fake son.

Ou Mengmeng is sometimes annoyed by the "bad guys" in her circle of friends, who are like those who do nothing but study. Once they talked about Zhuge Liang, everyone admitted that he was handsome, talented and great. But they would never admit that he was a good person, let alone a good man.

Ou Mengmeng understands that she doesn't admit that he is a good person. After all, they are all adults. How can there be good people or bad people? Especially for a prime minister like Zhuge Liang in troubled times, everything is relative.

As for the good man, they used an analogy: he was childless at the age of 40, so he adopted his brother's son Zhuge Qiao. There is nothing much to say about this, it is understandable. However, if you sort out the relationship between the events before and after, you will find this story particularly interesting.

When Zhuge Qiao was adopted, Zhuge Jin specifically reported it to Sun Quan, and only with Sun Quan's consent did Zhuge Qiao go to Shu Han.

At that time, Zhuge Qiao had already grown up. He and his elder brother Zhuge Ke were very famous in the Eastern Wu. At that time, it was said that "both he and his elder brother Yuanxun were famous at the time. Commentators thought that Qiao's talent was not as good as his elder brother's, but his character was better than his elder brother's." That is to say, he was not as talented as his elder brother, but his character was better than Zhuge Ke's. After arriving in Shu, he was named the imperial concubine. The time was 227 AD. Remember this time, and pass the examination.

At that time, Zhuge Liang did not take him to Chengdu, but sent him to the army. He also wrote a letter to Zhuge Jin to explain: "Zhuge Qiao should have returned to Chengdu, but the sons of the generals are all participating in the march, and I think Zhuge Qiao should also share the joys and sorrows. Today, let him lead 500 to 600 soldiers and station in the valley with the sons of the generals."

This is a good reason, isn't it? He will be the first to go. Others' children have gone, so he should go too. I treat him as my own son, and I want him to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with the children in the army. Later, some historical materials also wrote that Zhuge Liang was very strict with this nephew, and the example cited was also this incident.

Let's put this aside and talk about Zhuge Qiao's birth and death years. Zhuge Qiao's birth year may not be certain. Some say it was 199 AD, and some say it was 204 AD. But later it was confirmed that his brother Zhuge Ke was born in 203 AD, so it was confirmed that Zhuge Qiao was born in 204. But he died in 228 AD, which is very certain. He was 25 years old!
Did you notice that he arrived in Shu Han in 227 and was named the imperial concubine, but died of illness the following year? Did Zhuge Liang adopt a lonely person?
How could Zhuge Liang, who was so wise that he was almost a demon, do such a stupid thing? So, everyone came up with another time point, that is, Zhuge Liang's only son Zhuge Zhan was born in 227 AD.

That is to say, when Zhuge Liang wrote the letter to ask for adoption, Zhuge Zhan was still in the process of being conceived. Although there is no accurate date of birth to determine the correct time point to speculate on Zhuge Liang's mental state at that time.

But the time of 228 is very interesting. Of course, there is another interesting thing, Zhuge Qiao has two sons. After Zhuge Ke was married, the eldest son returned to Zhuge Jin's school and became the heir of Zhuge Jin's lineage.

After Adou surrendered, the younger son moved away from Shu with his family.

Do you feel a chill down your spine when you hear this story? Ou Mengmeng also heard someone say at that time that there is a custom in Jiangnan that "sons are not biological, but grandsons are." Many experts in the study of the Dream of the Red Chamber have also speculated that Jia Zheng is not Jia's mother's son, but an adopted son, so Jia's mother placed her hopes on Baoyu.

In fact, to put it bluntly, in the absence of blood support, what could be more caring than a child you raise and educate yourself?

So her friends said, "It's possible that Zhuge Liang asked to adopt Zhuge Qiao just for his grandson, and he happened to have two young grandsons to buy insurance. At that time, whether the child was a son or not, Zhuge Liang would have no worries. " "And this can only mean that Zhuge Liang is not a good person, nor a good brother or a good uncle, but what does it have to do with whether he is a good man?" At that time, Ou Mengmeng was still stubborn. After all, Zhuge Liang was the god in the hearts of their generation.

Others also say: "When Zhuge Zhan was born, Zhuge Liang was 46 years old! Zhuge Liang and Huang were married, and history also says that Huang died shortly after Zhuge Liang's death. Before her death, she told her son to be loyal and filial. However, it did not say that Zhuge Zhan was born to Huang. "

Therefore, many things are actually not worth thinking about. After saying this, he spread his hands towards Ou Mengmeng.

Ou Mengmeng actually wanted to say that it was not a big deal for Huang to give birth to a child at the age of 40, and there were many people like her now. But she also knew that with the medical conditions at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the probability of this happening was actually very small.

So when these reasonable guesses came out, Ou Mengmeng was so angry that she jumped up and down. At that time, she hated those who studied history. It was because of them that she didn't like to study history.

As Mr. Lu Xun said, "I opened the history book and checked it. There was no date in the history book. On each page, the words "benevolence, righteousness, morality" were written crookedly. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I read carefully for half the night. Only then did I see the words between the words. The whole book was written with two words: "eat people"!"

But even so, she remembered Huang. In fact, Huang was said to be the god of craftsmen and a famous talent. She was good at inventions and creations. The Water, Wood and Flowing Horse were her masterpieces.

So think about it, if she was not Zhuge Liang's wife, would Huang be known by ordinary people like her? There are too few women in history who want to leave their names in history. If it weren't for fate, she might have been wasted in this chaotic world. So forget it, maybe a talented woman like her is suitable for a man like Zhuge Liang. But forget about my own daughter, she is suitable for ordinary happiness.

"That's all I said. I also agreed with your sister. If she wants to get married, she can. If she doesn't want to, that's fine too. You have so many brothers, don't you need her to make a living?"

"This..." Sun Quan hesitated. For him, this idea was still a bit ahead of the times.

"You go look for one. I like doctors. How about you find a young, simple doctor who doesn't like anything but practicing medicine to be your brother-in-law?" Ou Mengmeng thought of Zhao Chong in the Dream of the Red Chamber again. What a good boy. Although he didn't get to see him and Jia Ying get married, he could also predict that their future life would be good.

"Mother, this is a great idea." Sun Quan nodded quickly and looked at Zhou Yu.

"I second the motion." What could Zhou Yu say? They were here to discuss state affairs, how could they bring up the princess' marriage? But the old lady said whatever she said! Anyway, Jiangdong doesn't have much of anything now, but it has many doctors. If a doctor is recruited as a county magistrate, it can greatly raise the status of doctors and win the hearts of doctors all over the world.

Well, the story of the Three Kingdoms is now filled with a lot of historical facts. Would you find it boring? But if I don’t write about it, I will feel uncomfortable.
