Why did the sage Zhuge Liang give birth to Zhuge Zhan at the age of 46?

The establishment of the Shu-Han Dynasty, in addition to the personal efforts of a generation, is also inseparable from the support of his military commanders and counselors, the most typical of which is Zhuge Liang, a military strategist. Zhuge Liang lived in Longzhong, Nanyang, and made friends with famous people in Xiangyang at that time, such as Pang Degong and Huang. And married his daughter Huang. However, Zhuge Liang didn't give birth to Zhuge Zhan until he was 46. What is the reason?

Zhuge Liang is the representative of loyal ministers and wise men in China traditional culture. He devoted himself to his life until he died. He is old for the following reasons:

The first possible reason: the wife is ugly and doesn't want to have children.

Zhuge Liang was originally a famous family in Langya, but later he took refuge in Jingzhou and had a hard time. As a wise man, Zhuge Liang wants to integrate into Jingzhou circle, and marriage with Jingzhou celebrity circle is the most direct way. Huang said to the newly proposed marriage, "I heard that you want to choose a wife. There is an ugly girl in my family with yellow hair and dark skin, but her talent can match yours. " Huang is a famous and powerful figure in Jingzhou. It has deep roots with Liu Biao, Sima family and Ponzi family in Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang agreed to this marriage and married her. At that time, people made fun of it as a joke, and the village even made a proverb: "If you don't choose a daughter-in-law for Kong Ming, marry an ugly girl."

At that time, it was not a good thing to have such jokes. Zhuge Liang was naturally angry, disliked his ugly wife and didn't want to have children.

The second possible reason: the wife is infertile and unable to have children.

Zhuge Liang has been married for many years. Although traveling with Liu Bei, the relative environment is relatively stable. Zhuge Liang has a high position beside Liu Bei and has no children. He had to rely on his brother Zhu Gejin to give birth to Zhuge Liang. It is likely that Zhuge Liang's wife, Huang Can, could not get pregnant, which led to his infertility. Zhuge Liang, who is so strict about self-interest, married a concubine.

It is said that Zhuge Liang once wrote a letter to Li Yan, which said, "I was given 80 yuan, but now I have no money and my concubine has no clothes to wear." The so-called "I don't have a suit" means that I only have one suit to meet the guests. This is what Zhuge Liang himself said. Naturally, Zhuge Liang's frugality can also be seen. At the same time, Zhuge Zhan was born to Zhuge Liang at the age of 46, probably by his concubine.

The third possible reason: political factors, dare not live.

Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei, which can be said to be the time when Liu Bei was displaced and attached to Liu Biao. In the face of Cao Cao, Liu Bei's life and death are unknown. Although Zhuge Liang has the strategy of "long zhong", he doesn't know how likely it is to be realized. Later, Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei and Sun Quan won the battle, temporarily gained some territory, and then moved to Sichuan, Hanzhong and other places. It can be said that Zhuge Liang has been in a tense environment such as war since his debut, especially after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang became prime minister, with more than 10 thousand people under his command, and he had to invade barbarians and northern expedition Cao Wei, which was very stressful.

With Zhuge Liang's thought of doing his best and dying, and his hands-on attitude, Zhuge Liang was under great pressure and dared not live! Besides, what other factors do you think?
