    There are probably a few reasons for this:

    1.The literati can't rebel:

    Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, most of the founding emperors or leaders of the rebel army were military warriors, or even hooligans, and there were very few scholars and rebels, and almost no ...... succeeded, and Kong Ming may also have this mentality ......Zhuge Liang wants to be a saint, admired by thousands of generations.

    2.Resistance from outside the group:

    Judging from Kong Ming, although the Jingzhou Group is very strong, the Yizhou Group still has Li Yan with heavy troops, and the Yuancong Group also has Zhao Yun, all of which cannot but make Kong Ming have scruples, even if the two of them died later, Wei Yan and Ma Dai cannot be ignored. There is no doubt that these people are loyal to Shu, but in front of such a big right and wrong, they should not be loyal to Zhuge Liang, after all, they will not choose Kong Ming in public or private. (By the way, to clarify, Wei Yan belonged to Liu Bei in a trilogy, and there was no such thing as a rebellion as mentioned in the romance, and similarly, in this way, even if Wei Yan is from Jingzhou, he may not be regarded as a Jingzhou group).

    3.Resistance within the group:

    Besides, Kong Ming can't guarantee that everyone in his Jingzhou Group will stand on the same front with him at this time, not to mention what a villain like Yang Yi will do, Kong Ming himself has no bottom in his heart. Kong Ming saw Yang Yi's personality very early, so everyone should have no objection to this, right?

    4.Resistance from the external side:

    It is difficult to say whether Wu supported Zhuge Liang, but it is certain that Nanban and Xiqiang took the opportunity to rebel, and Wei watched the civil strife in Shu, wouldn't he be ready to move? At this time, can Kong Ming still play the game of Anjuping Five Roads? It's impossible, can there be a few people listening to him?

    It's really hard to say whether there really are five roads in history).

    5.War weariness of the soldiers and civilians:

    Although the army of the Northern Expedition will not be war-weary, it is difficult to say the army in the rear, and in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the reason why Zhuge Zhan was defeated in the hands of Deng Ai was that in addition to his own strategy and tactics, the soldiers did not participate in the war is also a big reason. Similarly, although the warlords fought in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yizhou has always stayed away from the war, so it is inevitable that the people will be war-weary.

    6.The most critical point:

    Kong Ming was the appeal of inheriting the will of the first emperor, overthrowing the usurper Cao Wei, and restoring the Han family, if he was called emperor, it would ......He also usurped the throne, are you embarrassed to say Cao Wei? If you slap yourself, many things will be unfavorable to you, and at that time, you will also lose the hearts of the people and betray your relatives and leave ......In those days, the moral element was crucial, and rebellion was not a simple matter. What Cao Cao didn't dare to do, Zhuge at least thought the same as him.

    Actually, ......Although Kong Ming did not usurp the throne, but after he killed Li Yan, the military and political power of Shu can be said to be almost all in the hands of Zhuge Liang or the Jingzhou group, Zhuge Liang is a de facto emperor, Liu Chan is just a puppet, and Kong Ming has no need to be the emperor himself.

    Don't always hope for any answer, or to find an example, Zhuge Liang is also a person, Liu Bei cried before he died and said to him that if Adou can't be the emperor, then Zhuge Liang will replace him, it's like you are the most talented person in a family business, although the boss regards you as his own, and has the grace of knowing you, but you are an outsider after all, it just so happens that the boss's son doesn't know how to manage the business at all, and the boss said to you before he died: "If you still feel that my son can make a difference, you can assist him." If you think that my son is a waste, then I will write a will now and leave the business to you, rather than let him spoil the business, it is better for you to run it well.

    You say, what would you do if it were you? Keeping the business your own? I believe that no one with a conscience would do that.

    You tell me?

    Because of the scientific truth, because Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to show his heart and lungs when he was in Yong'an Tuogu, Zhuge Liang was forced to be unable to be called the emperor, so he was not called the emperor.

    I never believe in politicians, I personally think that the internal and external conditions are not yet ripe, Kong Ming at least will not usurp the throne before the Northern Expedition is completed, and there is no threat to his power internally, Liu Bei instructed Liu Chan to hand over all the military and political power to Zhuge Liang before his death, just to delay Zhuge Liang in Liu Chan's fledgling to usurp the throne, and Liu Chan is also hindered by the situation, even if he has a difference of opinion with Zhuge Liang on the Northern Expedition, he always follows Liu Bei's words, pretending to be crazy and stupid to eliminate Zhuge Liang's doubts about him, in order to keep his throne.

    Liu Bei Yong'an said when he was alone, "If he is not talented, you can take it yourself", which ostensibly gave Zhuge Liang the right to abolish the emperor, but in fact, it was a threat to Zhuge Liang not to let him usurp the throne.

    Moreover, at that time, Shu Han was the weakest among the Three Kingdoms, and the usurpation of the throne would inevitably cause power disputes, rebellions, brain drains, etc., so Wei Wu could take advantage of the fire to rob.

    Zhuge Liang was not good at this kind of world of military power struggle, so he lived in seclusion like those poets. But later Liu Bei came to Zhuge Liang; Zhuge Liang also found out from the conversation with him that he was a talent, so he rose up again, hoping to help Liu Bei complete the great cause, so that the world could be peaceful.

    It's just a common problem of ancient Chinese literati. They have always thought that they are only an auxiliary role, and being a king is not the goal of the literati!!

    1, the name is not right, Liu Chan has no major fault in ascending the throne, but he is mainly enjoying himself in the palace, and there is no suitable reason to start an army.

    2, Tuo Gu was in front, before Liu Bei died, he had Tuo Gu and Zhuge Liang and Li Yan. Although Li Yan was finally knocked down by Zhuge Liang, since Liu Bei has already entrusted Gu with you, it is not good for you to rob their family again.

    3, Zhuge Liang has no ambition to be the emperor.

    4, Zhuge Liang was loyal all his life, he was loyal to the Han family and the Liu family. He wrote very clearly on the list of teachers that the purpose of his life was to restore the Han dynasty and return to the old capital. So he will not usurp the Han like Cao Pi.

    In the hearts of the ancients, a dynasty can only be a family. The Han Dynasty belonged to the Liu family, and it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to abolish his life goal by himself.

    Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition "reviving the Han Dynasty".

    Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei, Liu Chan, father and son for two generations, and made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Shu Han regime.

    Since Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei, he has been doing his best and dedicating his wisdom and talents. Before Liu Bei died, he entrusted his young son to Zhuge Liang. The Shu Han regime has since entered the era of Zhuge Liang.

    As soon as Zhuge Liang took over the Shu Han regime, he embarked on his "Northern Expedition". In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he "went out of Qishan six times", returned in vain every time, became ill due to hard work, and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. What is truly practiced is to do one's best and die.

    Of course, Zhuge Liang did not "go out of Qishan six times" in the official history, but there were at least two or three times.

    Objectively speaking, Zhuge Liang thought about Kuang Fu Han before he left the mountain, which can be seen from his "comparison with Guan Zhong and Le Yi" at that time. Later, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house and had an in-depth conversation with Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei's ambition was to "revive the Han Dynasty", but he was suffering from his weak strength, so he asked Zhuge Liang what to do.

    Zhuge Liang proposed to him the grand blueprint of "three points of the world".

    In fact, the reason why Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei, instead of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Quan and others, was because Zhuge Liang, like Liu Bei, had the great ambition of "reviving the Han Dynasty", which was his life's pursuit.

    Zhuge Liang is a very important figure in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he is also a very famous and beloved figure in history. After Liu Bei's death, when Liu Chan had the ability and ambition, Zhuge Liang still chose to assist Liu Chan wholeheartedly, and did not choose to be the emperor himself.

    Zhuge Liang did not become an emperor himself mainly for the following reasons:

    1.There is no justifiable reason. Although Liu Chan is incapable, he is Liu Bei's son after all, and he has the title to be the emperor.

    Liu Chan has never made any big mistakes since then, but he mainly enjoys himself in the palace. If he is abolished like this, there will definitely be people who will not accept it. I think those who are loyal to the Liu family, or the local nobles, will not obey him, and will even raise troops to resist.

    Therefore, if Zhuge Liang becomes the emperor himself, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people.

    2.Zhuge Liang had a promise to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei entrusted it to Zhuge Liang before he died. Zhuge Liang is very loyal to Liu Bei, and he has always tried his best to help Liu Bei, so it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to snatch Liu Bei's position after Liu Bei's death.

    And Liu Bei entrusted his son to Zhuge Liang before he died, and Zhuge Liang also promised Liu Bei, so it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to become the emperor himself. What's more, at that time, Liu Chan was only in name only, and it didn't make much difference whether he was an emperor or not. But if Zhuge Liang really abolished Liu Chan, then he would have to bear the charge of usurping the Han.

    When the time comes, Wei Wu will raise troops to attack him, will he be able to stop it?

    3.Zhuge Liang had no ambition to be an emperor. It can be seen from Zhuge Liang's previous seclusion in Nanyang and Zhuge Liang's choice of Liu Bei among many powerful people that Zhuge Liang does not have much ambition.

    At that time, Zhuge Liang's prestige and strength reached the peak of his upper body. If he really wants to be the emperor, he can abolish Liu Chan with an order. But he still didn't do it.

    In addition to the above difficulties, the most important thing is that he has no ambition. Zhuge Liang just wanted to do his best to help others get power, he didn't want to get that power himself.

    Because he is very loyal, he has created his own character, and he has no royal blood, if he is on the throne, his name is not right, but I reached the trust of the emperor at that time, and I didn't want to do it; Personality reasons, ideological reasons, political reasons, environmental reasons, social factors.

    Because Zhuge Liang doesn't like to have too many rights. And he is very loyal to Liu Bei. Liu Bei asked him to assist Liu Chan well, and he assisted him well. Zhuge Liang yearns for freedom and likes to be a hermit.

    Because he didn't have this ability, there were many different forces and different parties in Shu at that time, and if he wanted to be the emperor, there was no way to solve these problems.

    He has a bad name, he can't be the emperor, and Liu Bei asked him to be lonely before he died, he has no ambition to be the emperor, and he is very loyal to Liu Bei.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-25

    Historical records record that Zhuge Liang died of illness, and the reason why he was not called emperor was because he did not have the strength to replace Shu Han, and the prestige of Liu Bei's father and son was still there.

    As a legendary figure in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he not only has an excellent IQ, but also plays a vital role in the success of Liu Bei's great cause. is like a god, with a high IQ and high EQ, which has become Zhuge Liang's clearest label. But in Liu Bei's lifetime, there were, Zhang Fei, and some loyal protectors, but they did not have a good chance to be independent.

    But after Liu Bei died, an incompetent successor Liu Chan also made Zhuge Liang struggle even harder for many years, and finally died on the battlefield, and he did not fulfill his and Liu Bei's wishes.

    In fact, no one knows whether Zhuge Liang has the ambition to be the emperor, and a person who grows on the side of the monarch and can use his strength to influence the general trend, if he really has no wrong thoughts, it is indeed not easy to understand, that is, many eunuchs have the dream of being the emperor, which is more in line with human nature.

    People who are born to be slaves and will be very happy do not exist, and Zhuge Liang, as the most real emperor in Shu, has never prepared for himself to be the emperor, has he made a plan, in fact, there is really no, mainly because there is no chance. But without thinking about it, it's hard to say.

    In the record of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in fact, Zhuge Liang has no close friends, when it comes to being in the same place and scheming, Zhuge Liang is indeed the most representative, I believe that from the perspective of modern people, his character should be more in line with the characteristics of Capricorn, although cautious and wise, there will be high achievements.

    But in terms of dealing with things, because he is too cautious, he has less confidence, and even because he is not easy to trust others, it is difficult to have confidant friends, so he naturally lacks the opportunity to achieve great things.

    Zhuge Liang must have the idea of becoming an emperor, and the opportunity in front of him is indeed there, but a person who is unwilling to take too many risks, let him retire and become a strategist, which is also the main reason for not being called an emperor. Although he ventured to the battlefield for the great cause of Shu and eventually died in the war, he wanted to achieve his own career.

    For Zhuge Liang, there will be a lot of inconvenience, and even compared to going to war for himself, in the name of the monarch going to war, to fight on the battlefield, he can be more hands-off and more free.

    Although Zhuge Liang made many efforts, but in the end won the name of loyalty, but also avoided the various entanglements of personal emperor, in fact, there is no ambition to be a man, it is understandable, and as a master of the ability to master the world, can be praised by the gods of infinite enthusiasm in his life, naturally it is the best proof.
