It was fortuitous and inevitable that Ganluo could become the shangqing of the Qin state at the end of the Warring States period. During the Warring States period, many such Zongheng families lobbied the princes everywhere, for the benefit of the princely states, but also for themselves to seek a glory and wealth, this was the norm at that time, before there were Fan Ju, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Gongsun Yan, Su Dai, etc., and then there were Li Si and others, but Ganluo became famous when he was the youngest, as Zhang Ailing said, "Fame should be early", but unfortunately, it seems that Ganluo's life was fixed at the age of 12.
Ganluo's ancestors were not from an unknown family, on the contrary, his grandfather Gan Mao was very powerful, Gan Mao was the first Zuo Cheng Xiang in the history of the Qin State, one of the most famous Cheng Xiang in the Qin Wu Wang period, who helped qin wu wang capture Yiyang that could "pass through the three rivers and peek into the Zhou room", of course, this also indirectly led to the death of qin wu wang, after all, qin wu wang crossed the Yellow River into Luoyi after occupying Yiyang, and died in a desperate position.
After the death of King Wu of Qin, his brother King Zhaoxiang of Qin succeeded to the throne, Gan Mao was ostracized in the dynasty, and later fled the state of Qi during the attack on the state of Wei, after the lobbying of Su Dai, Gan Mao's family did not suffer much blow in the state of Qin, and later Gan Mao died in the state of Wei.
Since Ganmao's death, the Gan family has declined until Ganmao's grandson Ganluo appears. Ganluo was born in 256 BC, about three years younger than Qin Shi Huang, and when Ganluo was twelve years old, it was when Qin Shi Huang was the monarch of the Qin state, but at that time, the Qin Wangzheng only became the monarch of the Qin state, but did not pro-government, and most of the power of the Qin state was in the hands of Lü Buwei. Lü Buwei had many courtiers, and Ganluo was one of them, around 244 BC, the twelve-year-old Ganluo had been looking for an opportunity to make the Gan family strong again in the Qin kingdom, and soon the opportunity came.
At that time, Lü Buwei wanted to expand the territory of the Qin state between the rivers, and a war with the Zhao state seemed inevitable, and the only way was to unite with the Yan state to attack the Zhao state. And the prince Dan of the State of Yan has been sent to the State of Qin as a proton, and now there is a lack of a suitable person to go to the State of Yan to be a Xiangguo, Lü Buwei wants Zhang Tang to do this Xiangguo, but Zhang Tang refuses, on the grounds that the Zhao State hates him, and from the Qin State to the Yan State must pass through the territory of the Zhao State, and he is afraid of being kidnapped by the Zhao State. Lü Buwei was very angry, but there was no way to convince Zhang Tang.
When Ganluo saw Lü Buwei, who was frowning, he took the initiative to express his worries for the master, but Lü Buwei felt that Ganluo was just a small child, and he said that he could not move Zhang Tang, could a small child say that he could move him? Ganluo persuaded Lü Buwei to take out the example that Xiang Xi could become a confucius teacher at the age of seven.
Lü Buwei promised to let Ganluo give it a try, and Ganluo found Zhang Tang and took out Fan Ju and Bai Qi, which were the generals, and when answering Ganluo's series of questions, Zhang Tang thought that his merits were not as great as Bai Qi's, and Fan Ju's power was not as great as Lü Buwei's. Ganluo took advantage of the fact that Fan Ju wanted to attack the Zhao state after the Battle of Changping, but Bai Qi blocked this matter, and under Fan Ju's plot, Bai Qi quickly persuaded Zhang Tang that Du You was given death. Bai Qi rebelled against Fan Ju and was killed, and now Zhang Tang rejects Lü Buwei, what will be the result?
Zhang Tang was afraid after hearing this for a while, so he agreed to go to yanguo to be a minister. In fact, the example of Bai Qi and Fan Ju cannot be used as an example here, after all, Bai Qi was recommended by Wei Ran at the beginning, and Wei Ran was eliminated by Fan Ju, so Fan Ju and Bai Qi were not on the same front, and Bai Qi's death was also the result that King Qin Zhaoxiang wanted.
However, Zhang Tang still went to the Yan Kingdom, and then Ganluo found Lü Buwei and said that he wanted to go to the Zhao Kingdom to open the joints for Zhang Tang to successfully pass through the Zhao Kingdom. Lü Buwei recommended Ganluo to Qin Wangzheng, saying that Ganluo was a famous person, and although he was relatively young, he could persuade Zhang Tang Xiangyan. Qin Wangzheng himself was thirteen years old to succeed to the throne, and he was naturally willing to give Ganluo a chance.
So Ganluo went to the Zhao Kingdom and asked if King Xiang of Zhao knew about the recent alliance between Qin and Yan, and King Xiang of Zhao said that he had heard a little, and Ganluo said that the purpose of Qin Yan's alliance was to attack the land of the Zhao kingdom, and if the Zhao state could give the five cities in the Hejian area of the Qin state, then he would persuade the king of Qin to send Prince Dan back to the Yan kingdom and help the Zhao state attack the Yan state.
As soon as King Zhao heard that this transaction was worthwhile, he gave the Qin state five cities, and then went to attack the Yan state, taking more than thirty cities in the upper valley, and the qin state got eleven of them.
In this way, the Qin state did not take much effort to get more than a dozen cities, and the king of Qin was naturally very happy, and immediately made Ganluo the shangqing of the Qin state, and gave Ganluo all the land products that originally belonged to Ganmao.
Ganluo was a young man who was supposed to make a career in the Qin Kingdom, but after Ganluo, there was no record of his deeds in the historical records, as if he was a person who suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared. But we know that a man of such a famous name could not suddenly disappear without a trace, and it is likely that Ganluo, who had taken the throne at the age of twelve, had suffered the same fate as his grandfather, that is, he was excluded. Twelve years old is still a child, even if he is very smart, but the official field is still difficult to defend, Ganluo is soon eliminated by those who are jealous of him. Of course, this is only the speculation of the four girls, and there is no actual evidence to prove this matter.
