However, this so-called feng shui is good and bad, and some things that were thought at that time can easily be classified as superstitions. In such a plate, as sworn enemies, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi seem to have another competition.
In this competition, many people think that Zhuge Liang is superior, while others think that Sima Yi is cautious. Let's see what tricks Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi left before they died. Why do future generations think Zhuge Liang is superior?
Zhuge Liang was born in 18 1 and died in 234. Although Zhuge Liang is young, it is not difficult to find that in such a special age stage in ancient times, especially in the context of the average age in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's life span is actually very long. During Zhuge Liang's life, he held some official positions in Shu and eventually became the prime minister.
When Liu Bei first went to the cottage, Zhuge Liang made a series of predictions about Liu Bei, including but not limited to what Liu Bei would do next. It turned out that after visiting the shanzhai, the Longzhong couple failed to follow Zhuge Liang's original plan, but the overall difference was not very big.
After Liu Bei established the Shu-Han regime in Chengdu, the pattern of tripartite confrontation among the three countries was formally formed. However, due to the close relationship between the death of the second and third brothers and Wu Dong, and Wu Dong's hob meat, Liu Bei was dissatisfied with stabbing himself in the back.
So Liu Bei decided to crusade against Wu Dong and recapture Jingzhou. But this time, Liu Bei miscalculated. Soon after, Baidicheng entrusted orphans, and Zhuge Liang's position in the whole state of Shu became below one person and above ten thousand people.
The next thing seems to be logical. Zhuge Liang mastered the actual rights, and at that time Liu Bei actually buried a mind's eye, that is, to prevent Zhuge Liang from becoming bigger. At that time, the rights of civil servants and military attache were divided into two parts, but Zhuge Liang directly obtained all the rights after several operations.
At that time, A Dou did not openly stop Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang led the troops against Cao Wei again and again, which is the so-called six out of Qishan.
However, when he left Qishan for the sixth time, Zhuge Liang clearly realized that there was something wrong with his physical condition. If he goes on like this, it will disappear. In desperation, we can only renew our lives, but in the process of renewing our lives, of course, we don't know whether this matter is a myth or something fishy.
But in any case, at least some unofficial history data show that Wei Yan interrupted Kong Ming's plan to continue his life.
Shortly after Zhuge Liang's death, Zhuge Liang's last words before his death were his burial place. But it is different from other officials and other rich children in burial. Zhuge Liang doesn't seem to directly indicate where to be buried. Some people say that this is Zhuge Liang's caution, while others say that this is Zhuge Liang's fear.
Why is Zhuge Liang afraid? The reason is simple, because Zhuge Liang launched countless wars, including but not limited to Wu Dong and Cao Wei, and many people hated him. If Zhuge Liang is buried somewhere and everyone knows it, there may be no peace after Zhuge Liang's death.
Others think that Zhuge Liang did this just to make a careless eye, so that everyone did not know where he was buried. After all, he is a man dedicated to Nanyang, and there is no need to be vigorous when he dies.
So Zhuge Liang ordered the coffin bearers around him to tell them that you people have been carrying this coffin to the south. When this rope broke, it was buried on the spot. However, different versions of this matter have been derived in history. Let's kill one of them first.
That's four people carrying coffins. When they carried it to a certain place and saw that the rope was still unbroken, they cut it privately and buried it on the spot after cutting it. When he went back after his burial, Liu Adou felt that the timing was wrong. Why did he come back so soon?
So the confession was tortured, and the four men refused to admit their debts, or the four men had already admitted their debts and were finally killed by A Dou. At this point, no one knows what Zhuge Liang's burial is, but whether it is true or not is unknown. At present, it is only circulated in unofficial history.
Relatively speaking, Sima Yi will be much better. In short, Sima Yi will defeat Zhuge Liang in terms of the degree of life span and the power relations achieved.
But because of what Sima Yi did, or because of some special reasons, Sima Yi's reputation in the whole history circle is not very good. Sima Yi, who was born in 179 and died in 25 1 year, can be regarded as a very long-lived age.
After all, even now, it is enough for Sima Yi to live in his 70s. Moreover, Sima Yi's longevity killed several generations of emperors of Cao Cao's family to a certain extent, paving the way for his descendants to a certain extent.
But even so, longevity does not mean longevity, nor does it mean immortality. Sima Yi will grow old one day. Legend has it that he estimated the day before Sima Yi's death, felt that he couldn't hold on, and arranged his grave somewhere.
After arranging a place, he made the following restrictions, including but not limited to the fact that the four people carrying the coffin must leave in the morning and have something to drink before leaving, so that they could not see the sun the next day. Of course, there is no need to talk about this. After all, this point itself is also recorded by unofficial history, and the real historical information is unknown.
The direct consequence of this is that everyone knows the burial place of Sima Yi. Of course, Sima Yi also did some tricks. In order to prevent people from disturbing themselves, and to prevent some people from destroying their tombs, Sima Yi ordered people to be divided into seven parts at that time, and the team set out from different places for the purpose of confusing people.
In fact, you will find that the reason why we know Sima Yi or Zhuge Liang is largely from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not the History of the Three Kingdoms.
This also laid the groundwork for the following things. As I said before, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms can give us a close understanding of the period of the Three Kingdoms' hegemony in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but this understanding is only in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This understanding may be biased or biased. We will analyze some characters in the Three Kingdoms more objectively and without emotion according to some descriptions by the author.
For example, when we mention Liu Bei, a loyal and kind person, and Cao Cao, a treacherous person, we still need to look at the real history from the perspective of the Three Kingdoms. However, in view of such a problem, we have to come up with the "History of the Three Kingdoms", word for word, which is of little significance in itself and its value seems unclear.
But in any case, the usurpation of power by Sima Yi's descendants led to the establishment of the State of Jin, and the filthy racket of the State of Jin did blacken Sima Yi to a certain extent, and also left Sima Yi with a filthy racket reputation.
