"What? You want to eat male eggs, Your Majesty, are you kidding?" asked Gan Mao, uncertain.
Qin Shi Huang said with an unkind face: "You have no jokes, you just want to eat male eggs." Lone will give you three days, if you can't do it, will you come back and see you then?"
"Minister...... "Gan Mao is already sweating, and anyone can see that Qin Shi Huang is embarrassing people." It's a pity that the king's fate is hard to disobey, and no one can save Gan Mao.
No one expected that this problem would be easily solved by Gan Mao's 7-year-old grandson, so how did he do it? Why did Qin Shi Huang embarrass Gan Mao?
The emperor wants to eat male eggs
To be precise, at this time, the Qin Dynasty had not yet been established, and Yingzheng should be called King Qin, not Qin Shi Huang, but for the sake of convenience, it is better to call him Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang succeeded to the throne at a young age, and the power of the court was in the hands of Prime Minister Lü Buwei. Therefore, for a long time, Qin Shi Huang had nothing to do all day, and as a pastime, he became interested in seeking immortality.
One day, a monk told him that if he ate a male egg, he could live forever.
Qin Shi Huang exclaimed, "What? The rooster can still lay eggs? Don't fool me." ”
Fang Shi hurriedly replied, "My Majesty, this is a true thing. This rooster laying eggs is a good omen, and it is not something that can be seen casually. And the eggs laid by the rooster make it natural for people to live forever. ”
Fang Shi's words are naturally fooling people, where in the world is there a rooster laying eggs? As long as he can't find a rooster that lays eggs for a day, he can always eat and drink in the palace.
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he said painlessly: "Lone knows." ”
In fact, Qin Shi Huang was already planning to use this matter to achieve his own goals. Qin Shi Huang had long been dissatisfied with Lü Buwei's dictatorship, and this incident made Qin Shi Huang see an opportunity to cut off Lü Buwei's wings.
Leave this matter to Lü Buwei's people to do, and if it is done, Qin Shi Huang can live forever. If it doesn't work out, then the person can be justifiably put to death. Either way, the result was favorable to Qin Shi Huang.
Even if Lü Buwei wanted to pursue the matter at that time, he would just push the Fang Shi out and take the blame. That Fang Shi probably didn't expect that he just wanted to eat and drink, but Qin Shi Huang wanted his life.
It can also be regarded as Gan Mao's bad luck, because he usually gets close to Lü Buwei and was selected by Qin Shi Huang to find male eggs.
And in order to make Gan Mao have no way out, Qin Shi Huang said this in the court. The timing was also good, and it happened that Lu Buwei was sick for a while and did not come to the court. So, Gan Mao could only take the errand.
Seven-year-olds have a plan
When Gan Mao returned home, his family quickly found out that something was wrong with him, but no matter what his family asked, Gan Mao just wouldn't say anything.
Seeing that it was the third day, it was a pity that Gan Mao was still at a loss. He also thought about secretly leaving Xianyang City to avoid trouble, but on the first day, he found that there were many more fresh faces near their home, obviously spying on him.
It seems that Qin Shi Huang is not going to let him go.
At noon that day, Gan Mao's grandson Gan Luo slipped into his study, and under Gan Luo's coquettishness, Gan Mao finally told him what had happened.
Don't look at Gan Luo's young age, but he is precocious. He asked, "Grandpa, is there really a rooster that lays eggs in this world?"
Gan Mao replied helplessly: "How can there be, this is all those monks who fooled the king." ”
Gan Luo was thoughtful, and after a while, he told Gan Mao: "Grandpa, I have an idea. All you have to do is ......"
After listening to his grandson's words, Gan Mao sighed again and again that "the future is terrifying", and said that everything would be done according to what Gan Luo said.
The next day, when it was time for the last dynasty, Qin Shi Huang came to the main hall in a hurry, intending to ask Gan Mao Xingshi for his guilt. As a result, he looked for a long time, but did not see Gan Mao's shadow, but saw a child in Gan Mao's place.
Qin Shi Huang wondered: "Who are you? What about the Gan Mao people? Why do you stand in his position?"
The child, of course, was Ganro, and he replied without humility or arrogance: "Great King, I am Ganro, the grandson of Ganmao. My grandfather was busy giving birth at home and couldn't come today. ”
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he was furious and said: "Ridiculous, how can a man have a child?
Everyone sweated for Ganro, but he didn't care. Ganro replied, "The king is right, since a man cannot have children, then a rooster naturally cannot lay eggs. Your Majesty, do you think that's the truth?"
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he suddenly laughed and said: "What a good person who governs others in the way of others, you are brave and resourceful at a young age, and Lone is very satisfied with you." Go back and tell your grandfather, remember to come to the court tomorrow, he doesn't have to worry about finding male eggs, and he will hand it over to others. ”
"King Xie. ”
With his ingenuity, Gan Luo helped Gan Mao escape a catastrophe.
The price of precocious wisdom, the ending of the "prodigy".
Because of his experience in the court, Ganluo not only attracted the attention of Qin Shi Huang, but also attracted the attention of Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei took the lead and took Gan Luo under his door and became a young concubine. This move made Qin Shi Huang annoyed, but he didn't dare to blame Lü Buwei for this, so he could only swallow this breath.
Gan Luo was quite highly regarded by Lü Buwei, but Lü Buwei's subordinates were full of talents, and Gan Luo was young, although Lü Buwei valued him, he did not use him.
But then two things happened that changed Lü Buwei's opinion.
Lü Buwei wanted to expand his fiefdom in Hejian County, so he sent Zhang Tang to Yan to serve as Xiangguo, and when the time came, Qin and Yan joined forces to send troops to Zhao.
But Zhang Tang directly rejected Lü Buwei's order, and Zhang Tang's reason was also very legitimate: if he wanted to go to Yan State, he had to pass through Zhao State, and he led his army to attack Zhao State too hard, and King Zhao offered a reward of 100 miles of fief in exchange for his head. Zhang Tang felt that his actions were more auspicious than lucky.
Lu Buwei is also a reasonable person, and Zhang Tang is really inconvenient to go to Yan Country in this situation, so he didn't force him. But Lü Buwei couldn't find a more suitable candidate for a while, so he was worried.
At this time, Gan Luomao, who had been idle, recommended himself and said that he would try to persuade Zhang Tang.
Lu Buwei shook his head and said, "My words are useless, what use can you go?"
Gan Luo replied: "Since there is no more suitable candidate than Zhang Tang, it is better to let me try, anyway, the adults have nothing to lose." ”
Lu Buwei thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he agreed.
Gan Luo met Zhang Tang and helped him analyze the pros and cons. Back then, Bai Qi was executed because he did not obey Fan Ju's orders. And Fan Ju's power is far inferior to Lü Buwei, and Zhang Tang's merits are far inferior to Bai Qi. Now that Zhang Tang refuses Lu Buwei's order, the end will only be worse than Bai Qi.
Zhang Tang thought of Bai Qi's fate and became afraid. At this time, Gan Luo continued to persuade: "If you offend the prime minister, you will definitely die, and if you go to Yan Kingdom, you will only die for a lifetime, which is more important, presumably the adults should know." ”
On the third day, Zhang Tang packed his luggage and went on the road.
This matter is not over, at the same time that Zhang Tang went to Yan Kingdom, Gan Luo also came to Zhao Kingdom. Under his persuasion, King Zhao not only did not embarrass Zhang Tang, but also formed an alliance with Qin.
Zhao sent troops to capture thirty cities of Yan, eleven of which were given to Qin as a sign of sincerity for the alliance between the two sides. The Qin State didn't need a single soldier to get so many cities, and the government and the opposition were very satisfied.
Gan Luo was also able to pay homage to the prime minister.
However, the historical record of Ganluo came to an abrupt end.
Although there are different theories about what happened after that, it is certain that Ganro did not live long before dying young.
As for the reason, it is also very simple, he got involved in the struggle between Qin Shi Huang and Lü Buwei. In Qin Shi Huang's eyes, Gan Luo was Lü Buwei's favorite, and naturally he wanted to get rid of him in every possible way.
Gan Luo Zhi is close to the demon, which makes Qin Shi Huang very jealous, Gan Luo does not die, Qin Shi Huang is uneasy in his heart, and he can't deal with Lü Buwei with all his strength.
Although Ganluo is precocious, he is still young after all, and he can't understand the complexity of people's hearts. He unknowingly fell into the strife of the court. A generation of prodigies ended up being short-lived, which is really regrettable. If he hadn't been so sharp, the ending might have been much better.
