Zhuge Qiao
Edit ProfileCareer
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 an "Imperial Son-in-law and Commandant" (駙馬都尉), and he followed Zhuge Liang to Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang once wrote a letter to Zhuge Jin, "(Zhuge) Qiao should have returned to Chengdu (the Shu capital).
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 223 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-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 Liang allowed Zhuge Pan to return to Wu to continue Zhuge Jin"s bloodline there.
