诸葛瑾 / Zhuge Jin

Overview

诸葛瑾 / Zhuge Jin is 诸葛亮’s elder brother and a Jiangdong official whose friendship with 鲁肃 gives the proposed Sun-Liu alliance an interpersonal trust channel.

Current Profile

The current source introduces Zhuge Jin indirectly. It says he fled disorder for Jiangdong, served 孙权 as a senior staff official, and was Lu Su’s colleague and friend. Lu Su invokes that friendship immediately after proposing an alliance to 刘备, making Zhuge Jin’s relationship network politically useful even though he does not appear in the scene.

Key Characteristics

• Elder brother of Zhuge Liang.
• Jiangdong official connected to Sun Quan’s administration.
• Friend and colleague of Lu Su.
• Cross-camp relationship node invoked during the opening of the Sun-Liu alliance.

Evidence

• Family and office position: Hanji 1099 identifies Zhuge Jin as Zhuge Liang’s elder brother who relocated to Jiangdong and served Sun Quan.
• Alliance-network role: Hanji 1099 has Lu Su tell Zhuge Liang that he is Zhuge Jin’s friend while proposing cooperation with Sun Quan.

Qualifications

This is a narrow source-bounded profile, not a full biography. The episode uses Zhuge Jin mainly as a relationship signal and does not develop his later offices, diplomacy, independent decisions, or the actual effect of his friendship on negotiations.

What Changed

• Created the page from Hanji 1099’s cross-camp relationship signal.

Relationships
