Since qin shi huang founded the emperor system in China, there have been more than 400 emperors, and there are countless emperors, but there are several emperors who can be called "the emperor of the ancient world", but there is only one emperor who can be called "one emperor of the ages", that is, Zhuge Liang, the shu Han minister in the Three Kingdoms period.
Zhuge Liang's outstanding achievements in his life, leaving behind many good stories throughout the ages, he used to compare himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi in his youth, so that later generations thought that people who had talent and learning would also compare themselves with Guan Zhong and Le Yi; in Longzhong, he discussed the general trend of the world with Liu Bei, discussed the strategy of dividing the world into three parts of the world and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, so there were "Longzhong pairs" that posterity relished: As for the straw boat borrowing arrows, the three qi Zhou Yu, the eight arrays of figures to block the eastern Wu pursuit of soldiers, and so on, we are familiar with it.
However, the most important thing in Zhuge Liang's life is not because of his achievements and wisdom, but more because of his unparalleled loyalty, when Liu Bei had nothing to follow, helping Liu Bei lay the foundation of the three worlds, and later after Liu Bei's death, he took over the power, but he still wholeheartedly assisted Liu Chan, and this ancient loyalty of The Minister of Xiang touched countless people in the world.
Therefore, even many years after Zhuge Liang's death, there are still countless people who are still reciting his stories and praising his good name, and even many people visit the places where he lived, burn incense for him, rebuild the cemetery, and build ancestral halls. During the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous great poet Du Fu, who once specially went to Sichuan to visit Zhuge Liang's ancestral hall, and wrote a poem "Shu Xiang" that has been passed down through the ages, in which "the master died before he died, and the hero was full of tears" became the last song of the life of the chant.
Many years after Du Fu's death, Sichuan welcomed another super fan of Zhuge Liang, that is, Song Kefa, who became a jinshi in the sixth year of Shunzhi. Song Kefa was born in the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli Dynasty, and although he later became an official of the Qing Dynasty, he was not a "second minister", because he had not yet become an official during the Ming Dynasty, so it was not disloyal to be an official in the Qing Dynasty.
Although there were many people who became officials in the Ming Dynasty and then became officials in the Qing Dynasty at that time, for Song Kefa, it was very important that he did not become an official in the Ming Dynasty, because his idol was Zhuge Liang, who most revered the word loyalty and righteousness in his life. At the same time, because the idol was Zhuge Liang, when he was promoted to become the envoy of Sichuan in the eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1669), the first thing the 59-year-old Song Kefa did when he took office was to go to Chengdu to pay homage to the Marquis of Wu.
When Song Kefa came to the Wuhou Ancestral Hall with a sincere heart, he found that the building had appeared old and dilapidated after thousands of years of wind and rain, and appeared to be in disrepair, so he ordered the renovation of the Wuhou Ancestral Hall, which was not only out of the selfish intentions of fans, but also as a provincial governor to educate the people. In the process of rebuilding the Wuhou Ancestral Hall, someone dug up a stone stele with a very simple shape, which reads "Water Moon Lord, Geng is not big, cover eighteen, dragon reclining" twelve words.
Although Song Kefa was a highly educated scholar, he was still confused when he saw these twelve words, so he consulted a local wise man, and the wise man laughed after reading it: "This is the prophecy left by Zhuge Cheng Xiang, and it is said that after 1000 years, according to the inspection of the lord to rebuild the Wuhou Ancestral Hall for him..." It turned out that the Water Moon Lord was Qing, Gengda was not Kang, Gai Eighteen was Song, and Long Fu wo was saying that the Wuhou Ancestral Hall was renovated, that is to say, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there were officials surnamed Song who renovated the Wuhou Ancestral Hall.
Song Kefa was also very happy after listening to the wise man's explanation, and it turned out that Zhuge Cheng Xiang already knew of his existence a thousand years ago, so he wrote the "Monument to the Restoration of the Marquis of Zhongwu" with excitement, and recorded this deed in it. However, this matter has also aroused the suspicion of posterity, is it really Zhuge Liang who can be clever and calculating? More people tend to believe that this is a stone stele made by Song Kefa in order to deify Zhuge Liang. What do you think about that?
