Life

Zhuge Qiao and his elder brother Zhuge Ke were very famous in Eastern Wu but many people felt that Zhuge Qiao was not as talented as his brother.

Zhuge Liang did not have any sons initially so he requested to adopt Zhuge Qiao as his heir. Zhuge Jin sent Zhuge Qiao to Shu after seeking permission from the Wu emperor Sun Quan. Zhuge Qiao became Zhuge Liang's adopted son. Zhuge Liang changed Zhuge Qiao's original courtesy name "Zhongshen" to "Bosong". Zhuge Qiao was appointed as a Chief Commandant of Escorting Cavalry (駙馬都尉), and he followed Zhuge Liang to Hanzhong Commandery. Zhuge Liang once wrote a letter to Zhuge Jin, "(Zhuge) Qiao should have returned to Chengdu (the Shu capital). However, I see that the sons of the other Shu generals have inherited their fathers' legacies, so I thought we should share honour and shame together with them. I have put (Zhuge) Qiao in command of 500-600 soldiers and deployed him to the valley together with the sons of the other generals."

Zhuge Qiao died in 228 at the age of 25 (by East Asian age reckoning). Zhuge Qiao's son, Zhuge Pan (諸葛攀), served in Shu as well and his highest appointment was Protector of the Army and Soaring Martial General (行護軍翊武將軍), but he also died at a young age. After Zhuge Ke and his family were massacred in Wu in a coup d'état in 253, Zhuge Pan reverted to his original lineage and travelled to Wu to continue his biological grandfather's bloodline there.

生平

諸葛喬與兄長諸葛恪都有名于當時，評論的人認為諸葛喬的才能比不上哥哥，但他本身的個性超過諸葛恪，起初，由於諸葛亮早期始終沒有子女的緣故，因此向諸葛瑾請求讓諸葛喬做養子，諸葛瑾就稟告孫權，讓諸葛喬到蜀漢，諸葛亮把諸葛喬當作自己的嫡子，所以改了他的表字，從仲慎改為意即長子的伯松。諸葛喬被任命為駙馬都尉，跟諸葛亮一起去了漢中，與霍弋一起參贊軍務。諸葛亮還寫信給諸葛瑾說：「諸葛喬本應該回成都，但各位將軍的子弟都參與行軍，我認為諸葛喬也應該同甘共苦。今日讓他帶領五六百士兵，與各位將軍的子弟駐紮在山谷中。」

《三國志》記載諸葛喬死于建興元年（223年），時年二十五歲。何焯和錢大昭都指出諸葛喬與諸葛亮一起駐紮在漢中是在建興五年（227年），所以《三國志》的此項記載有誤，何焯還認為諸葛喬是死于建興六年（228年）。後，諸葛恪兄弟被滅族，而諸葛亮也有了自己的兒子諸葛瞻，故諸葛喬的兒子諸葛攀重歸親生祖父諸葛瑾一支，以延續其後嗣。
