In 223 AD, Liu Beibai's emperor was entrusted with a lonely city, and the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that Liu Bei cried and said: "The juncai is ten times cao pi, and he will be able to secure the country and finally determine great things." If the heir can be supplemented, it is supplemented. If he is not talented, he may take it upon himself."
Liu Bei entrusted Zhuge Liang, not only the Shu Han Jiangshan, the descendants of Liu Clan, but more importantly, the unfinished ideals and careers, Zhuge Liang panicked after hearing this, and vowed to loyally assist Liu Chan.
Thinking that Zhuge Liangyuan lived in seclusion in Nanyang, was touched by Liu Beisan's affection, became a minister of Liu Bei's humerus, and decided on the strategy of occupying Jingzhou first and then seizing Yizhou, and great things could be accomplished, Liu Bei praised: "There is Kong Ming in the lonely, and there is water in the fish."
Liu Chan ascended the throne, the power in Shuzhong fell into the hands of Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang wanted to take the throne, as if he wanted to take the throne, but Zhuge Liang always had a little idea, Zhuge Liang only wanted to repay Liu Bei for the grace of knowing the encounter, built water conservancy for internal development, emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, greatly increased grain production, and conquered Yongmin and Mengyu in the south, stabilized the south, laid the foundation for the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang did not succeed in the six Northern Expeditions, and eventually died on the way of the Northern Expedition.
In the 11 years that Zhuge Liang monopolized power, everything had to be done personally but invisibly overhead Liu Chan, just like a huge shadow hanging over the sky, liu Chan, the emperor, had no sense of existence, Liu Chan was an emperor, so he gradually developed a dislike for Zhuge Liang.
In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang gave Liu Chan a table: in the above table, he clearly mentioned his personal property:
In Chengdu, there were 800 mulberry trees and 15 acres of thin fields, and the daily food and clothing expenses of the descendants were more than enough. As for the ministers serving abroad, there was no additional cost arrangement, and the clothes and food were all supplied by the state, and there was no need to buy other industries to increase the family wealth. When the subject dies, he will not let the family have extra clothes and extra money, so that he will live up to the grace and trust of His Majesty.
Zhuge Liang may have been the first government official in Chinese history to declare personal property.
Liu Chan did not believe that this bit of property was nothing more than the property of a small landlord, which was completely inconsistent with the identity of the Shu Han Chancellor, and how could a tangtang and a country minister also have a million family wealth, so he sent someone to secretly verify Zhuge Liang's family property.
After the emissary returned, he reported to Liu Chan: Cheng Xiang was really as clean as water in his life, and his family had no surplus wealth. Hearing that Zhuge Liang was so incorruptible, Liu Chan felt remorse and shame for himself to live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and under shame, Liu Chan made a move - he threw the cup to the ground on the spot:
Xiang Xiang, Ah Dou is wrong to blame you!
After Zhuge Liang's death, Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan inherited the title of Marquis of Wuxiang, and Liu Chan married his daughter to Zhuge Zhan, who was promoted all the way to rule state affairs. Deng Aiqi attacked Yinping, Zhuge Zhan led the army out on the expedition, and finally Zhuge Zhan and his son Zhuge Shang died on the battlefield together, which can really be described as full of loyal martyrs.
