Zhuge Liang gave few opportunities for future generations to experience. Zhuge Liang is cautious in dealing with people. He is so amazing that he does everything himself. In addition, Zhuge Liang is a loyal minister. In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't give his son strong support. Relatively speaking, he didn't give children too many opportunities to experience.
Zhuge Liang himself is often busy with state affairs, and relatively speaking, he is a little "negligent" in his son's education.
Sima Yi's son is more experienced. Sima Yi endured for many years, endured the death of three generations of Cao Wei, and finally successfully launched the change of Gao Pingling and seized the real power of the Cao Wei regime. Judging from the family style, this is really not as good as Zhuge Liang.
But Sima Yi paid more attention to his son's education. During his tenure, he often took his son to experience things and life together.
With constant experience and example, Sima Yi's sons, Sima Shi and Si Mazhao, became very capable people, constantly strengthening their control over state affairs and preparing for the complete usurpation of the Cao Wei regime.
Crisis is easier to exercise. Zhuge Liang is an important loyal minister of Shu Han. He is very respected in Shu Han, and almost no one can threaten Zhuge Liang's position. Zhuge Liang's son is more comfortable in Shu Han, and his sense of crisis is not particularly strong.
Relatively speaking, Sima Yi and his son are different. They are often jealous and wary of the rulers of Cao Wei and are excluded by Cao Shi's people. They are always in danger, and they may be killed by the whole family if they are not careful.
The harsh political life environment and the life-threatening situation at any time also prompted Sima Yi's sons to grow and mature faster.
Think about it, if Sima Shi is incompetent, if Si Mazhao is mediocre, if Sima Yan is a very ordinary person, with what Sima family did in Cao Wei at that time, can they survive?
For the Sima family, especially the Sima family who held the real power of Cao Wei regime after the change of Gao Pingling, they had only two choices: either step by step to strengthen the control of Cao Wei regime and eventually replace it; Or destroyed by the rulers of Cao Wei regime after failure.
In addition, the Sima family in power had an operation on Cao Zhi's people, and there was no third way to go, either brilliant, doomed or so extreme.
Relatively speaking, crisis is easier to exercise people. Sima Yi's son is in crisis, which also urges them to master survival skills earlier and better and exercise stronger abilities.
What do you think of this? What do you think is the main reason why Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi have different abilities? What kind of education do you like?
