In the history of China over the past five thousand years, there have been many great celebrities, literati and inkers, who have been famous throughout the ages and have been praised by posterity. But when it comes to prodigies, I believe everyone can know how many? For example, Sima Guang, who smashed a cylinder to save people, Cao Chong, who called him an elephant, Li He, who was known as a ghost and a poet, and so on, they were all prodigies who were widely praised in Chinese history. What Xiaobian and everyone are talking about today is that during the Warring States period, the 12-year-old official worshiped Shangqing's Ganluo.
Ganluo, a famous prodigy in Chinese history. His grandfather was Gan Mao, a famous minister of the Qin state, who was a famous politician. Ganluo was very intelligent from an early age, and with the teaching and influence of his grandfather GanMao, his talent was even more outstanding. When Ganluo was 12 years old, his grandfather Ganmao died, and Ganluo became a doorman in the house of Lü Buwei.
The State of Yan and the State of Qin prepared to jointly attack the State of Zhao and snatch the land between the rivers. In order to show his sincerity, the King of Yan sent Prince Dan to the State of Qin as a hostage, and the State of Qin sent the great general Zhang Tang to the State of Yan as a state of prime. From the State of Qin to the State of Yan, it was necessary to pass through the State of Zhao, and Zhang Tang had led troops to attack the State of Zhao, and Zhang Tang was afraid of retaliation from the State of Zhao and was unwilling to go, so he secretly talked to Lü Buwei privately. Lü Buwei was very unhappy, but Zhang Tang did not go, what could be done. Zhang Tangdi's reason is very reasonable, and he can't force him to go! But this was a major national affair, and it was impossible not to go, so Lü Buwei started to worry. When Ganluo heard about this, he went to ask Lü Buwei to send him. Lü Buwei was very angry, did not look up to Ganluo at all, thinking that what a small child can do, is this not nonsense?
The prodigy Ganluo himself found Zhang Tang and asked, "Compared with the great general Bai Qi of that year, who is greater?" Zhang Tang said: "Of course, it is white and big." Ganluo also asked, "Fan Ju (sui), the Great Xiangguo of that year, who is greater in his power and trust than Lü Buwei, the chancellor?" Zhang Tang said, "Of course, Lü Buwei is bigger" Ganluo laughed and said, "When Bai Qi didn't listen to Fan Ju's words, he was killed, and now that you don't listen to Lü Buwei's words, what do you think will happen?" Zhang Tang was frightened when he heard it. So I quickly packed up and set off for Yanguo.
Zhang Tang did not go long, and Ganluo found Lü Buwei and prepared to borrow five carriages and go to Zhao Guo to say good things for Zhang Tang. So Lü Buwei sent someone to report to Qin Shi Huang. When Qin Shi Huang heard that Ganluo was the son of the famous minister Ganmao, and lobbied Zhang Tang to go to the Yan kingdom, he summoned Ganluo. Finding that Although Ganluo was not very old, he was very talented, so he appointed him as an emissary and sent an envoy to the Zhao Kingdom. Ganluo is worthy of the title of prodigy, not only outstanding in talent, but also bold.
Although Ganluo was a small child, as an emissary who came on behalf of the Qin Kingdom, King Zhao did not dare to be sloppy and hurried to the outskirts to greet him according to etiquette. Ganluo asked King Zhao, "You know that Dan, the crown prince of the State of Yan, went to the State of Qin as a hostage, and Zhang Tang went to the State of Yan as a hostage." King Zhao said, "Of course I know." Ganluo asked King Zhao if he knew the reason, and King Zhao was horrified and asked Ganluo to explain the reason. Ganluo said, "The State of Qin and the State of Yan are ready to unite, if after the unification of the State of Qin and the State of Yan, can you zhao have a good life, can you fight the country of Zhao, and will the union of the state of Qin and the state of Yan be united?" If the King of Qin gives the Qin State five cities, then the territory between the rivers of the Qin State will be expanded, and the Qin State will send back prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom, and unite with you Zhao Guo, and then attack the Yan State together, why not enjoy it?" Qin Shi Huang was very happy, so he tore up the covenant with the Yan state and sent back Prince Dan.
The State of Zhao sent troops to attack the State of Yan, and in one fell swoop 30 cities and pools, 11 of which were given to the State of Qin. The little prodigy Ganluo temporarily changed the state's policy, but it brought greater benefits to the Qin state and made great achievements, and Qin Shi Huang and Lü Buwei were very happy and named Ganluo as Shangqing. Ganluo, although only 12 years old, was outstanding and courageous, and there was no qin dynasty that did not admire him. However, although Ganluo was talented, his life was not long. Not long after Ganluo became Shangqing, he died at the age of 13. Poor little prodigy, died young.
