It is said that Zhuge Liang is handsome. Why did he marry an ugly girl?

Zhuge Liang is eight feet tall and knowledgeable. He compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and likes to sing Fu Liang's songs. Why is such a charming and famous figure willing to marry the ugly Huang Yueying?

This has a lot to do with Zhuge Liang's birth. Zhuge Liang's family is not bad. Grandfather Zhuge Feng is a captain in charge of public security in Beijing and an absolute power figure. But after Zhuge Liang's father died, his uncle Zhuge Xuan became the magistrate of yu zhang in Yuan Shu period, and Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun also became small officials. There is nothing wrong with a good bird choosing a wood to live in, but Zhuge Liang's family stood in the wrong "tree" and Yuan Shu overreached himself. More importantly, he failed in the end.

This is a great blow to Zhuge Liang's reputation in Shilin. At best, you know nothing about the owner you choose, at worst, you are an anti-thief. But Zhuge's family is also lucky. The Eastern Han Dynasty court sent Zhu Hao to replace yu zhang, the prefect of Zhuge Xuan, which advanced the time for Zhuge family to go to Jingzhou for Liu Biao. Therefore, Zhuge Liang is not an anti-thief, but is not liked by scholars; Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng is a eunuch, and his father Cao Song is A Qiu. Some people make irresponsible remarks. Shilin Chacao Cao three generations, Zhuge Liang's family worked as an official for Yuan Shu a few years ago, so let's not talk about it.

Every time I compare myself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, I can't make a promise. However, Cui of Boling and Yingchuan are straightforward and cheerful people, and they are trustworthy. -History of the Three Kingdoms, History of Shu, Biography of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang is very unpopular among Jingxiang scholars. He compared himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Those scholars listen as jokes. Only friends like Xu Shu and Cui can understand that Zhuge Liang is right. It is obvious that Zhuge Liang is both talented and handsome. Why can't the scholar-officials catch him?

Among the scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "virtue" was more important than "talent", and the evaluation of "virtue" was decided by the scholars. Therefore, even if you have ten times the talent of Zhuge Liang, we will not give you "filial piety", and you are still a farmer in Nanyang. Xu Shu killed people in his early years and was a fugitive, so he didn't care that Zhuge Liang had been a small official in Yuan Shu. But this "virtue", that is, "filial piety", is controlled by powerful people; After Cao Cao was scolded as a eunuch, he did not put forward the word "filial piety" as early as possible. Father Qiu still has a lot to do with it. So for ambitious Zhuge Liang, if he wants to be an official, he must be attached to the powerful, but the declining Zhuge family can't help him, which is why Zhuge Liang is willing to marry Huang Yueying.

Ugly girls with yellow heads and blackheads, but they are all worth matching. —— Huang and Huang, as celebrities of Jing Xiang, are often worried. This daughter looks a little too "prominent": brown hair and dark face, and no scholar wants to marry. Huang went to see Zhuge Liang and said to him, "I have an ugly daughter with yellow hair and dark skin, but she is very talented and suits you very well." . Zhuge Liang immediately married Huang Yueying, and the neighbors sneered, "Don't marry like Zhuge Liang, it's just an ugly girl in Acheng." .

But Zhuge Liang knows this very well: Cai Mao has two sisters, one is Mrs. Cai of Liu Biao and the other is Huang's wife. Liu Biao, the owner of Jingzhou, is Huang Yueying's uncle, and Zhuge Liang wants this relationship. To Zhuge Liang's surprise, Huang Yueying was a great inventor. People could make wooden dogs, tigers and cows. Huang Yueying played an important role in Zhuge Liang's invention.

After Zhuge Liang married Huang Yueying, although his wife was a little ugly, she did come into contact with the upper class in Jingzhou. Uncle Liu Biao is the boss of Jingzhou, and uncle Cai Mao holds the military power of Jingzhou, which makes it possible for Zhuge Liang to know the information of the princes in the world.

At any time, the detailed deployment of local military affairs is confidential, not to mention the chaotic era of warlord melee, which is not something that a scholar who cultivates Nanyang should know. Liu Biao cherishes the reputation of the imperial clan. Although Zhuge Liang was not an official, at the communication level at that time, it was clear why Zhuge Liang always grasped the vassal power very clearly and came to a "long-term confrontation" that surprised Liu Bei. In addition, Huang Yueying's intelligence played an important role in supplementing Zhuge Liang's intelligence.

Zhuge Liang is not only a strategist, politician and writer, but also an inventor that Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and others don't have, such as herding cattle Liu Ma and Zhuge Lianglian crossbow. Can these be separated from Huang Yueying? According to legend, Huang Yueying sewed a feather fan for Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang didn't come out of the mountain, he would frown and appear upset when he talked about Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

Zhuge Liang came out at the age of 27. Before he came out of the mountain, Cao Cao and Sun Quan had occupied more than half of the world, and both of them were very wise. Zhuge Liang is very worried about the weather. Huang Yueying sewed a feather fan to cover Zhuge Liang's face and warned him that a gentleman should hold his breath and not be impulsive. Even if the dark tide is surging, he should be like an ancient well without waves, otherwise there will be flaws. Later, when Zhuge Liang was in trouble, he shook the feather fan lightly, which is a necessary accomplishment for a master.

Zhuge Liang married an ugly girl, but he didn't marry "De". Liu Biao loves feathers and doesn't need him. However, marrying a virtuous man is a great victory. First of all, Huang Yueying gave him the opportunity to keep abreast of the vassal forces and have a stable intelligence network. Secondly, Huang Yueying's invention ability, through the further evolution of Zhuge Liang, has a wooden ox and a flowing horse, and Zhuge Liang has a crossbow; Third, Huang Yueying taught Zhuge Liang to become a great talent. Since then, the genius Zhuge Liang has become a national instrument that has never happened in a thousand years. Historian Qian Mu lamented: "With Zhuge Liang, the Three Kingdoms can shine on future generations, just like the Han Dynasty." Obviously, this is not a height that can be achieved by talent alone. Huang Yueying brought Zhuge Liang inside information.
