In the endless river of history, a very large number of prodigies have emerged in ancient China, who are far beyond their peers in terms of talent or wisdom or skill, and can even be compared with some people who have been immersed in this line for many years. Some of them died young, but some of them worshipped xiang marquis at a young age, such as Ganluo in the Warring States period, who was only 12 years old and had a status comparable to that of a chancellor.
Ganluo was born into a rich family, and his grandfather Gan Mao was the minister of the Qin Kingdom, and during his tenure, he worked diligently and made many achievements. However, because of the accidental death of Qin Wu's king Yingdang, Gan Mao, as a chancellor, was difficult to get rid of. Coupled with the new king's succession, the old vassals were suppressed, and Gan Mao fled abroad, and finally died in the State of Wei.
However, the Gan family was revived at the hands of Ganluo, and the 12-year-old Ganluo served as a courtier under Lü Buwei, who at that time was in power and stood out from Lü Buwei.
The State of Qin and the State of Yan conspired to prepare to plot against the State of Zhao, and after the two sides reached an agreement, the State of Yan sent Prince Dan to the State of Qin as a hostage, and the State of Qin prepared to let Zhang Tang serve as the minister of the State of Yan, so that the plot between the two countries would be much more convenient.
Zhang Tang privately did not want to go, so he told Lü Buwei that when he went on an envoy to the Yan kingdom, he would pass through the Zhao state, and he had once had a grudge with the Zhao state, and the king of Zhao had been offering a reward to arrest him, so it was not that he did not want to go, but that he could not go.
Lü Buwei did not force him again after listening, and after returning to the mansion, he was sullen and unhappy, and Ganluo noticed it and asked, Why are you so unhappy? Then Lü Buwei told Ganluo the truth of the matter, and Ganluo proposed that he was going to persuade Zhang Tang, but this move was opposed by Lü Buwei, who said, I invited him, he was unwilling to go, how can you a small child move him? But Ganluo still insisted on going, and said that Xiang Qiao was only seven years old and could make Confucius a teacher, and I was 12 years old this year, you let me try, you will not lose anything. After hearing this, Lü Buwei agreed with Ganluo's idea and allowed him to go and persuade Zhang Tang.
After Ganluo and Zhang Tang met, they did not directly mention this matter, but gave him the examples of Bai Qi, Ying Hou and Wen Xinhou, and knocked on the side to persuade him, and Zhang Tang finally agreed to this trip.
After Zhang Tang agreed, Ganluo, in order to solve Zhang Tang's worries, prepared to go to the Zhao kingdom first to take care of everything, which moved Lü Buwei, who told the original version of the matter to the King of Qin, who approved Ganluo's actions after hearing this.
Ganluo met with Queen Xiang of Zhao and explained the pros and cons directly, and he told King Zhao in detail about the plan of the State of Qin and the State of Yan to conspire with the State of Zhao, and he also told the King of Zhao that if things developed according to this situation, then the State of Zhao would be very dangerous. It is better to take out five cities to please the Qin state first, and then attack the Yan country with the Qin state, at that time, your five cities are nothing at all.
King Zhao readily agreed, and immediately ordered the five cities to be ceded to the State of Qin. After that, the State of Zhao acquired 30 cities by attacking the State of Yan, and then gave 11 of them to the State of Qin.
Ganluo only made Qin Guo pingbai 16 more cities with just a few words, so it was impossible to judge a person's strength by his age. After Ganluo returned to the Qin state, the King of Qin, Yingzheng, worshiped him as Shangqing, and his status was comparable to that of a chancellor.
But in the history books, Ganluo only stopped at the age of 12, and after the age of 12, there is no record of him in the history books. There is a folk legend that he was beheaded by Yingzheng for deliberately offending the princess.
However, the real history has long been lost in the long river of time, and the truth of the matter is no longer known. But let's think about it, how can such a clever child easily bury his life? But it is certain that he should be at the age of 12 at his most brilliant.
