Who is the counselor with the highest IQ in the history of China?

It may be Zhuge Liang. Of course, Zhuge Liang's historical facts are quite different from historical records. For example, many of his strategies are only recorded in romance novels. But personally, he is not bad. In addition, the ancients did not have an intelligence test (the current intelligence test is not completely accurate), and they can only look at their personal feelings.

Zhuge Liang (18 1 year-234 10/0/October 8 [1]), a native of Wolong, Langya Yang Du (now Yinan, Shandong Province), was a prime minister of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms period.

In his early years, he went to Jingzhou with his uncle Zhuge Xuan. After Zhuge Xuan's death, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong. [3-6] After Liu Bei visited the Caotang, he invited Zhuge Liang to join forces with Sun Quan of Soochow to defeat Cao Jun in the Battle of Red Cliffs. Formed the trend of the Three Kingdoms and captured Jingzhou. In the 16th year of Jian 'an (2 1 1), Yizhou was captured. [7] After defeating Cao Jun, he won Hanzhong. In the first year of Shu Zhangwu (22 1), Liu Bei established the Shu-Han regime in Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang was appointed as the prime minister to preside over state affairs. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, Zhuge Liang was named the marquis of Wuxiang and took charge of Yizhou animal husbandry. Diligent and prudent, big and small political affairs must be personally done, and rewards and punishments are strict; Make an alliance with Wu Dong to improve relations with all ethnic groups in southwest China; Carry out the reclamation policy and strengthen combat readiness. Before and after the five northern expeditions to the central plains, most of them did nothing with food. Eventually, due to overwork, he died in Wuzhangyuan (now Qishan, Baoji, Shaanxi) in the twelfth year of Jianxing in Shu at the age of 54. Liu Chan made him a loyal minister, and later generations often called him Zhuge Liang by Wuhou. Because of his military ability, the Eastern Jin regime named him King Wu Xing [8].

The representative works of Zhuge Liang's prose include A Model and A Book of Commandments. He once invented the wooden ox, the flying horse, the Kongming lantern and so on, and transformed the crossbow, called Zhuge Lian crossbow, which can hit all targets with one crossbow. Zhuge Liang, a representative of loyal ministers and wise men in China traditional culture, devoted himself to his life and died.
