Biography & Historical Record
Zhuge Jing (诸葛京, Gia Cát Kinh), courtesy name Xingzong (兴宗, Hưng Tông), was the second son of Zhuge Zhan (诸葛瞻, Gia Cát Chiêm) and grandson of Chancellor Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮, Gia Cát Lượng). His mother was a daughter of Liu Shan (刘禅, Lưu Thiện) — an imperial princess of Shu — binding the Zhuge line to the Liu house at the highest level. When Deng Ai (邓艾, Đặng Ngải) stormed Mianzhu Pass in 263 AD, Zhuge Zhan and elder brother Zhuge Shang (诸葛尚, Gia Cát Thượng) died fighting; Zhuge Jing, still young in Chengdu, survived as the principal male heir of Zhuge Liang’s direct line.
After Shu’s surrender, Zhuge Jing lived under Wei and then Western Jin rule. In 269 AD Emperor Sima Yan (司马炎, Tư Mã Viêm) summoned him to Luoyang and appointed him Magistrate of Meixian and later Administrator of Jiangyang — offices that recognized both his administrative talent and the symbolic value of employing Zhuge Liang’s grandson. His son Zhuge Xian (诸葛显, Gia Cát Hiển) continued the lineage into the Jin age.
Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 119 (Deng Ai leads his army through the Yinping mountains; Zhuge Zhan resists to the death at Mianzhu): Zhuge Zhan (诸葛瞻, Gia Cát Chiêm) and Zhuge Shang (诸葛尚, Gia Cát Thượng) die defending Mianzhu against Deng Ai — the novel’s climax for the Zhuge house. Zhuge Jing is not named in the battle scene; historical tradition places him as the surviving younger son in Chengdu when the kingdom falls days later.
