In those events of history, Zhuge Liang was known for his clever calculations, and led the Northern Expedition to restore the grand cause of the Han Dynasty

Liu Beisan took care of Maolu, zhuge Liang was deeply moved by it, and then followed Liu Bei to conquer the north and south, and Qigong was built many times. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang "was appointed to the occasion of the defeated army, and was ordered to be in the midst of danger", and the state affairs of the Shu state were no big or small, and every matter must be personally committed. He strictly requires his children and nephews, and does not use his high position and authority to provide for the elderly. He personally sent his nephew Zhuge Qiao, together with the sons of the generals, to lead the troops to transport military grain in the deep mountains and dangerous valleys. To this end, he wrote a special letter to his brother Zhuge Jin, saying that Zhuge Qiao "should have returned to Chengdu", but "now all the generals' children and sons must be transported" and "it is advisable to share honor and disgrace". After Ma Mo lost the street pavilion, he blamed himself, and Liu Chan, the lord of the later lord, "please degrade yourself to the third class", and from then on he was more conscientious and diligent. "Sleep at night, punish twenty or more, all of them are personally solicited; The food that is barked is not up to four liters. "Zhuge Liang only relies on Feng Lu for a living, and does not use his power for personal gain. He lives with an indifferent and quiet attitude. He said to the Lord, "If the day of death of a subject, do not let there be a surplus inside, but a surplus of wealth outside, so that his majesty will also be negative." He died as he said.

Zhuge Liang is known for his clever calculations. His plans for his descendants are also calculated for a long time. The name he gave Zhuge Zhan was "Si Yuan". His letter to his nephew also said, "Aim high." All this shows that he hopes that future generations will have lofty ideals and ambitions. In his letter to his son, Zhuge Liang pointed out two points: one was called Jing and the other was called Jian. He said: "The journey of a gentleman is to cultivate oneself quietly, to cultivate virtue through frugality, not to be indifferent and to have no clear aspirations, and not to be quiet and far-reaching." Husbands must learn quietly, only then must they learn, non-learning can not be widely talented, non-ambition can not be learned. Sexual immorality cannot be exerted, and dangerous and impatient cannot cure sex. He believes that if people want to be talented, they must study hard, and if they want to study, they must have ambition. We must also have a quiet mind, and if we are not quiet, we cannot concentrate on studying. Life is too comfortable, and it is easy to distract and make great ambitions. Living frugally is the main condition for cultivating morality. In a letter to his nephew, he further pointed out: We must adhere to our lofty ambitions, "endure bending and stretching, going to the fine pieces, consulting widely, and getting rid of miserliness." That is to say, if we do not consider temporary gains and losses, do not covet the enjoyment of life, make friends with teachers and friends, and do not care about personal grievances, we have done so, "although there is drowning" may not be successful for a while, "what damages the beauty, why the misfortune." Learning is fun and will certainly be useful. What is afraid is that "the will is not strong, the intention is not generous, the vain is stuck in the world, and the silent restraint is in love." Under the influence of the pursuit of worldly material life and lust, if you lose strong faith, you will "never be subservient to the ordinary, free from vulgarity"!

It can be seen that Zhuge Liang let his descendants live frugally in order to make them more prominent, and his vision cannot but be said to be "super-vulgar"! At the same time, he strictly requires his children and nephews and other juniors not to treat them with special treatment based on their own high position and authority, not to engage in specialization, and to let their children grow up in an equal and harmonious environment, which is conducive to cultivating their good interpersonal relations, helping to cultivate their strong ability to adapt to society, and is more beneficial to cultivating their tenacious will not to rely on others and survive independently. During zhuge liang's reign, with a broad mind and pure heart, a large number of talents were selected and reused. His criteria for employing people are both ability and political integrity. He did not pay attention to the ranks and qualifications, used people out of the ordinary, boldly conferred important positions, and entrusted them with heavy responsibilities. When Zhuge Liang was the chancellor of Shu, in order to recruit talents, he built a xiantai in the southern suburbs of Chengdu. After Liu Bei's death, he reused a group of outstanding talents with good moral integrity and ability. For example, Jiang Huan, Li Shao, Ma Xun, Zong Pre, Du Wei, Ma Zhong, Qin Yi, Dong Yun, etc., these acts of employing people were praised by the people of the time as "virtue". In the "Table of Former Masters", he proceeded from the principle of "pro-virtuous subjects, far lesser people", and solemnly recommended Lan Yun and Xiang Pet to the Hou Lord, and the purity of his heart was rare. Among the literary and martial arts officers whom Zhuge Liang reused, there were both Jingchu people and Shudi talents, both Liu Zhang's old department and Wei General, who had no disadvantages of forming a party, and had the Zen nostalgia of "five lakes and four seas" to tolerate everything, uniting the vast majority of people. At that time, there was such a sentence: "Anyone who has done good deeds, even if you and Zhuge Liang do not know, Zhuge Liang will definitely reward you if he knows; Anyone who has done bad things, even if you and Zhuge Liang are relatives, Zhuge Liang will punish you. "This is how Zhuge Liang strictly enforced the law, with clear rewards and punishments.

Zhuge Liang was poor and frugal all his life, there was no savings in the family, and his wife did not even have a decent change of clothes. Before his death, Zhuge Liang gave Liu Hou a note explaining his family's economic situation and declaring his property and income. He said: "There are 800 mulberry trees in Chengdu, and 15 hectares of thin fields, which are left for their children to feed and clothing, and have their own surplus." The subjects were in office, had no other arrangements, carried food and clothing, all relied on the official government to provide, and did not operate separate industries to increase the income. When I die, there will be no extra cloth in my house, no extra money outside, and I will never fail to live up to His Majesty's trust. "Eight hundred mulberry trees, fifteen acres of thin fields", according to the official system of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, this is a very low-ranking official. The wife and uncle of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was called Yin Zhi, and his family had more than 700 acres of land, which was 45 times more than Zhuge Liang. "Children have food and clothing, and they have their own surplus", when zhuge Liang's family engaged in agricultural activities such as planting and silkworm mulberry under the leadership of the Huang family, they could keep warm and full. The most noteworthy is "do not rule other than life, but with a long size", which obviously refers to the fact that there is no other livelihood, no business, and no other recipients to get rich.

"There is no surplus inside, and no surplus money outside" This is the ideal realm of honesty and honesty that Zhuge Liang has pursued and practiced all his life. In fact, Zhuge Liang's legal acceptance should be very high. "Eight hundred thousand solutions are given", this is the stick, ten liters into one bucket, five buckets for one solution, this is a big number. In addition, Liu Beiping Yizhou (Chengdu) gave Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, and others "five hundred jin of gold, 100 jin of silver, 50 million of gold, and 10 million horses of jin", and after Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, he "gave Xiang Xiangliang a golden iron weapon, a curved cover, a front and back Yu Bao advocated one, and sixty tigers and guisers". This is a reward, a huge amount. Where did all this money go? There are roughly three: one is not accepted at all; Second, after accepting it, it was handed over to the national treasury; The third is to reward non-commissioned officers and other meritorious personnel. Tao Li does not speak, and the next is a mystery. Zhuge Liang's incorruptible style is an invisible education for his descendants and has set a good example for future generations. As the prime minister of a country? Zhuge Liang knows very well: "The roof leaks down, stops at the top, leaks from above, and cannot live down." Zhuge Liang not only "commanded his son" and "admonished his nephew", but also practiced it and set an example for his children and grandchildren. He set strict demands on himself, and although he was noble, he would never engage in specialness and insisted on "teaching without saying anything." Throughout his life, he was honest and honest, and lived frugally. Zhuge Liang fulfilled his promise of "bowing down to exhaustion and dying after death" with his practical actions.

From the fifth to the twelfth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang led the Northern Expedition five times in order to eliminate the living forces of the Northern Wei Dynasty and realize the grand cause of restoring the Han Dynasty. In military affairs, no matter how big or small, he was meticulous, personally inquired, got up early every day to find out the dark, and took care of every opportunity every day, and finally because of "eating less and worrying about things", he became exhausted due to overwork and illness, and fell ill in the big camp of the front line of Wuzhangyuan. When Zhuge Liang on the hospital bed thought that he had not fulfilled the last wish of the ancestor, he could not help but burst into tears. Later, when Liu Chan heard that he was seriously ill in Chengdu, he immediately sent Li Fu to visit him. When Zhuge Liang saw Li Fu, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He laboriously explained to Li Fuyi the major affairs of the military and the heirs after his death, and entrusted Yang Yi with detailed instructions on how to retire after his death. After saying these things that made him most uneasy, Zhuge Liang was almost out of breath. After taking a short breath, he continued angrily, "After I die, I must be buried in Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong." Funerals must be simple, build tombs according to the mountains, and the tomb can only accommodate a coffin. When people are dead, let me put on my usual civilian clothes, and don't put any road funeral goods..." Zhuge Liang's voice became lower and lower, and finally he returned to silence, and he died young at the age of only 54. This is the highest requirement of a generation of famous people before the death of Zhuge Liang, who verified his promise of "bowing down to exhaustion and dying after death" with practical actions. When Li Fu thought of cheng xiang's lifelong work for the country, and that the deathbed request was so simple as an ordinary person, he couldn't help but be touched and saddened, and couldn't help but shed tears.
