Zhuge Liang, as a generation of divine operators, can be said to know astronomical geography from above and from below. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu was so angry that he scolded, forcing Cao Cao to defeat Huarong Dao, and even when he was dying, he almost gave his life to heaven for ten years.
Such a powerful person naturally did not want people to know the location of his mausoleum after death. For example, when Cao Cao died, he used seventy-two coffins to cover people's eyes. After all, as the originator of the tomb robbery world, he did not do less than the lack of virtue in digging other people's graves, so after his death, he not only required everything from Jane but also made seventy-two coffins to confuse everyone's eyes, just to avoid being dug up by others after his death.
According to Mr. Zhuge Liang's living habits before his death, he naturally hoped that he would not be disturbed after death. In a letter to Liu Chan, he wrote that after his death, "the coffin was carried south, and the rope was broken and buried."
Why is it arranged this way?
At that time, the State of Shu had been committed to the Northern Expedition, although it lacked the strength it should have, but the Northern Expedition was extremely important to the State of Shu, in the process of the Northern Expedition, many Cao Wei nobles died in his hands, and in addition to the Northern Expedition, many soldiers lost their lives for this, and Zhuge Liang, as the initiator of the Northern Expedition, was naturally hated by the relatives of many soldiers.
If people knew the location of his grave, it was estimated that he would be pulled out by his enemies or those who hated him and whipped.
In addition, Zhuge Liang was the wise man of the Shu Kingdom before his death, and naturally hoped to become the protector of the Shu Kingdom after his death. As long as the news of his death was not revealed, then the Cao Wei legion did not dare to launch a hasty attack, which could also give the Shu kingdom more time to breathe.
And if you let people know the location of their tombs, the advantage is that they must be worshiped by the local people, and the disadvantage is that they are easy to attract the patronage of thieves.
As the minister of the Shu kingdom, who would believe you to say that the tomb was poor and white?
In this way, Zhuge Liang, who likes to be quiet, will definitely not be able to stand it.
The reason why Zhuge Liang, who saw through the world, laid down this plan was entirely a pretext. Although Liu Chan couldn't understand what he meant, as long as he thought about his foresight, he felt that it was right to listen to him. So they found four strong men and asked them to carry Zhuge Liang's coffin on the road, as long as the rope was broken and buried on the spot, they could come back to receive the reward.
As soon as the four strong men heard about this and such good deeds, they hurriedly took the coffin on the road. After walking south for many days and finding that the rope still showed no sign of breaking, he began to twist his mind. Thinking that he could not go to the village and not go to the shop, and when there was no one behind him to supervise, he smashed the rope with a stone and went back to ask for merit and reward.
In fact, all this is in Zhuge Liang's calculations, whether the rope is naturally broken or artificially damaged, these four people are actually unable to escape death, not to mention that the four of them are smashed ropes.
Liu Chan, who was furious, killed them for the crime of deception, and when he slowed down to ask for the burial address, he reacted that the people had already been killed by himself, and the information on the location of Zhuge Liang's tomb was completely lost.
At the time of this plan, Zhuge Liang had already expected that the four people would rush out of trouble because of the lack of supervision, and according to Liu Chan's personality, he would kill them immediately in one breath, so that his tomb would be completely unknown to no one.
Of course, the above things come from the history of the wild, and the reason why they are described in this way is to highlight Zhuge Liang's miraculous powers.
However, in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, it is written that "Liang left his life to bury The Mountain of Dingjun in Hanzhong, because the mountain is a grave, the tomb is full of coffins, and the clothes are used for the time, and no utensils are needed."
Therefore, so far, most people still believe that Zhuge Liang is buried in Dingjun Mountain, which is designated as the tomb of Wu Hou. But whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify.
