For many lovers who like the Three Kingdoms, Mr. Kong Ming is definitely an idol in their hearts. This wise man has given people a sense of unfathomable and superior intelligence from ancient times to the present. For his story, I think you readers have heard too much. Today the author will talk about the last trick used by Mr. Kong Ming before he died, so that people can carry their coffins south. I hope that everyone can think and understand.
We all know that although Zhuge Junshi was famous, the hardships of several Northern Expedition wars exhausted his life's energy. At the end of the year, Kong Ming, who already felt that his physical condition was very bad, began to think about his future events. He is no ordinary person, so dealing with the death that may come on him is more difficult than ordinary people.
According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the historical "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Kongming was very frugal during his lifetime. He once advocated that the Shu kingdom should prevail in frugality, so when he was dying, he explained to his subordinates: After his death, he must not hold a funeral in a high profile, and must not waste extravagance!
Another major purpose of the military master and chancellor in doing so was that it was absolutely impossible for wei and other powerful enemies to perceive that the shu state had lost an important brain-level role. Kong Ming ordered his men to find four big men to carry the coffin carrying his remains to the back. This coffin must be made no different from ordinary people's coffins, so as not to hit the grass and startle the snake.
The men need to use a hemp rope that is not thick and moderate between the lifting frame carrying the coffin and the coffin as the bearing point to support the coffin. So what is the special purpose of the prime minister choosing to do this? Zhuge Liang confessed that the four strong men carrying their coffins needed to keep moving south, and there was no rest in between.
So where did Zhuge Liang really want to be buried? What was surprising was that even Zhuge Liang himself did not explain the location of his burial, which made the empress dowager Liu Chan and other dignitaries greatly confused, and they all put on a question mark face, wondering what the military master was calculating?
Mr. Zhuge Kongming finally said: When the four strong men walked to the hemp rope and broke, the coffin landed on the ground, and that place was their long resting place! This gives a very metaphysical feeling. After the death of the prime minister, these four big men carried his coffin all the way north and did not dare to be idle! After all, the person they were carrying was highly respected in the Shu Kingdom.
But people are always tired, no matter how strong and burly the four big men are, they are not four robots after all, these four big men have walked for a few days and nights, and they are surprised to find that the hemp rope still has no sign of breaking. Because Zhuge Liang had explained before: you can't rest in the middle of the way! This greatly frustrated the four big men.
In the end, they thought about how to bury the beggar on the spot after a discussion, and did not have to really follow the rules and wait until the hemp rope broke. So the four people buried Kong Ming in an unknown place. The four big men breathed a sigh of relief: they felt that the task was finally completed! Go back and make a difference to the Lord.
Originally, they thought that they would be praised by Liu Chan after completing such a great task, but who knew that the lord was actually furious and said, "You waited for four people to go for a total of three days and three nights!" How could the hemp rope break?! The four big men found that the deeds were exposed, and they could not answer them. In the end, four people were sentenced to capital punishment!
I don't know if seeing this, have any clever readers already discovered the essence of Zhuge Liang's brilliant plan? That way no one really knows where he's buried! Because only the four people who had buried him before had followed him, all four of them also followed him. Zhuge Liang, a military master, was resourceful all his life! Even the extremely clever Sima Yi was not his opponent at all.
After the death of the chancellor, he ordered the others to pretend to be himself to intimidate Sima when the two armies were fighting, making the latter very jealous and afraid to attack. This brilliant and admirable strategist not only has a mighty face while he is alive, but he can still bring endless impact to others even after his death! There is admiration and fear, and everything is due to "wisdom"! I think that's the charm of Kong Ming.
