Zhuge Liang continued to order people to kick the seven-star lamp to Wei Yan. Jiang Wei wants to kill Wei Yan. Why did Zhuge Liang stop it?

Mainly because Zhuge Liang thought it was providence, not Wei Yan's sin.

In his later years, Zhuge Liang was still leading troops to the Northern Expedition, but his old rival Sima Yi was not so easy to deal with, so he hoped to borrow Heaven for another 20 years to fulfill his last wish, but at the last minute, Wei Yan kicked him out and fell short.

Zhuge Liang thought it was an act of god, because the day before, he said that the borrowing was going well and he should be able to look forward to continuing. He himself is not sure about this. Success depends entirely on God's will. Therefore, in his view, even if Wei Yanlai did not kick over the core lamp of life, his lending action would fail because of other accidents, and Wei Yanlai should not bear the blame at all.

Moreover, Wei Yan was also a pivotal figure in Shu at that time, because in the later period of Shu, the generals withered, and almost no one could compare with the original Five Tiger Generals. Only pioneers like Wei Yan and Liao Hua were there. From the point of view of foreign invasion, if Jiang Wei kills Wei Yan, it is likely that the confrontation with the other two countries will fail more thoroughly.

At the same time, Wei Yan is not the kind of person who can abandon everything for Shu. Zhuge Liang thinks that Wei Yan is a man with an anti-bone. If Jiang Wei fails to kill Wei Yan, it will inevitably make Wei Yan defect and even forcibly take away the military power. Even if Wei Yan is killed, Wei Yan's men are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Therefore, no matter from Zhuge Liang's personal belief, domestic troubles and foreign invasion, he will not agree that Jiang Wei killed Wei Yan. After all, during this period, Shu Han was not talented and his army was weakened. The situation in Shu Han is particularly complicated, and killing Wei Yan is not that simple.
