诸葛亮 / Zhuge Liang

诸葛亮 / Zhuge Liang enters this wiki branch through the title of 《资治通鉴·周纪》80丨诸葛亮的偶像 到底有多厉害?, which frames 乐毅 as “诸葛亮的偶像.” The episode itself does not develop Zhuge Liang’s biography; it uses his later reputation to signal Le Yi’s standing among commanders and political actors.

For this source, Zhuge Liang is therefore a reception marker rather than an actor in the Warring States narrative. The substantive argument remains about Le Yi’s military merit, post-exile restraint, and ability to survive after achievements that could frighten rulers.

Connections

  • 乐毅 - Warring States figure framed as his admired predecessor.
  • 《报燕惠王书》 - text through which Le Yi’s later reputation is discussed.
  • 曹操 - another later figure used by the episode to show the letter’s reception.
  • 忠臣去国的退场伦理 - concept that explains why Le Yi is admired here.
