There were many prodigy in ancient times. Zhong Yong could write poems at the age of five, Cao Chong would be called an elephant at the age of six, Sima Guang would smash the tank to save friends at the age of seven, they had extraordinary talents at a young age, but the best was still 
2-year-old prodigy who was appointed as the minister Ganluo . He won 16 cities with his eloquence.
Other children are still studying, Ganluo has been appreciated by Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei . He talked happily in front of Qin King Ying Zheng and was sent to envoy Zhao . At that time, Qin and Zhao fought for many years, but he was so difficult and dangerous, but he returned.
At a young age, he has such a strategy and courage, and participates in diplomacy, politics, and is involved in military and national affairs. Adults may not dare to think and do it. Gan Luo has made great contributions at the age of 12 and has become famous in the political arena of Qin. What is strange is that he has no news since then, like a meteor flashes by
has won the favor of the prime minister and is highly rewarded by the King of Qin. Gan Luo's future is dazzling. King Ying Zheng of Qin wants to unify the world and seek talents. Gan Luo is a young talent. Ying Zheng ascended the throne at the age of 13, and Gan Luo won 16 cities at the age of 12. They should have composed a good story about the king and the ministers, but they have no communication again.
There are too many suspicious things about Gan Luo. How did he make such a contribution at the age of 12? Why did he disappear mysteriously? What other unknown things do he and Qin King Ying Zheng and Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei? Where did he be born and where did he die? Why are there 12 Gan Luo Tombs now?
Where to find eggs?
It is said that the King of Qin wanted to prolong his life, so he believed in the folk remedies of the sorcerer and wanted to eat the egg laid by a rooster, so that Gan Luo's grandfather Gan Mao would go and find it, and it would be retrieved within three days. How can a rooster lay eggs? But that was the order of the King of Qin and could not be refused. Gan Mao had to promise
There are no rooster eggs in the world, but he can't pretend to be a hen egg. That is a death sentence for deceiving the emperor. What should I do? Gan Mao was so bored that his grandson Gan Luo couldn't help asking his grandfather: What troubles did he encounter?
Ganluo is smart and clever. Maybe there is a way. It's better than waiting for death, so my grandfather told the story. After hearing this, Gan Luo thought for a while and had an idea. This matter was very simple. After three days, he took court on behalf of his grandfather and asked his grandfather to wait for good news at home.
King Qin saw a child coming and smiled. He thought Gan Mao was afraid and used his grandson as an excuse. Gan Luo said in a humble manner: Grandfather is giving birth at home, but he really can't come, so I came to meet the king
As soon as this said, the ministers were shocked: How is it possible for men to give birth? ! The King of Qin just thought that the child was polite and asked disdainfully: How can men have children?
Ganluo was not afraid at all and answered seriously: Since men cannot have children, how can a rooster lay eggs? Since a rooster can lay eggs, why can't men have children?
After hearing this, the King of Qin suddenly realized that this child was smart and clever, and even the ministers did not solve the problem, but he easily resolved it. It was not simple. He did not blame him, but instead gave Gan Luo a generous gift. The name of Gan Luo's child prodigy became more and more popular.
This story is very exciting, but it is obviously fabricated to highlight the foolish and violent King of Qin and the ministers' submissiveness. Only one child in the whole country has a clear mind and deserves to be overthrown. There are countless similar jokes, but Gan Luo is extremely smart and is a real story in "Records of the Grand Historian" at the age of 12.
Gan Luo works under Prime Minister Lu Buwei. Prime Minister Lu is in power, but he has a troublesome thing recently. In order to annex Zhao, Qin wanted to form an alliance with Yan State and jointly attack Zhao. He wanted to send Zhang Tang to Yan State to seek cooperation, but Zhang Tang refused to go. Lu Buwei did the work several times himself and was unwilling to go.
To go to Yan State, you must pass through Zhao State. Zhang Tang attacked Zhao State once. The people of Zhao hated him to the core. If he goes, he will definitely die. Lu Buwei was unhappy, but he was not willing to force others to do so. At this time, Gan Luo saw the Prime Minister's troubles and asked to convince Zhang Tang.
The prime minister can’t persuade him, can a 12-year-old child? ! Gan Luo said: 一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一Gan Luo is famous, and Lu Buwei agreed to let him try
Gan Luo met Zhang Tang and started asking questions after greetings: You are a high-ranking official in the court, but who has the greatest contribution than Wu'an Jun Bai Qi? The killing god Bai Qi will defeat the attack and win the battle, and conquered countless cities. He attacked Chu State in the south and fought against Yan State in the north. Of course, Zhang Tang dared not compare. He answered honestly: Of course, Wu'an Jun has made great contributions
Gan Luo asked again: Fan Ju was the prime minister in Qin State back then. Compared with the current prime minister Lu Buwei, which one has more power? Zhang Tang told the truth: Of course, Lu Buwei is the power of the great
Gan Luo continued: When Fan Ju wanted to attack Zhao State, Bai Qi blocked it from it. He refused the orders of the King of Qin several times and was demoted to a soldier, leaving him away from Xianyang . Bai Qi was forced to commit suicide just seven miles away. Now you have repeatedly refused the requests of the Prime Minister. I really don’t know where you will die in the future.
Zhang Tangting was sweating profusely and immediately expressed his willingness to go. The departure date was just set, and Gan Luo asked to go to Zhao State first. Lu Buwei agreed and reported to the King of Qin: Although the grandson of Gan Mao is not old, he is very famous and has greater ability. I can't persuade Zhang Tang. If he can persuade him, please allow Gan Luo to report to Zhao State first.
After the Qin King summoned Gan Luo, he also agreed to send him. King Xiang of Zhao personally went to the outskirts of the capital to greet him, and Ganluo went straight to the point: Did you hear that Prince Yan was in Qin as a hostage? Of course I have heard of Zhao Wang .
Gan Luo asked again: Do you know that Zhang Tang is going to Yan State to be the prime minister? Of course, King Zhao has also heard of it. Ganluo pointed out the greatness: Qin and Yan sent hostages to each other to express trust. Qin and Yan had a good relationship with Zhao, and they were interested in Hejian's territory. It was better to take the initiative to cut off five cities. I persuaded the King of Qin to remove Yan and Qin and join forces with Zhao, and Qin and Zhao attack Yan together.
King Zhao agreed to cut five cities to Qin, so Qin sent back Prince Dan . Zhao captured thirty cities in Shanggu of Yan State and gave eleven of them to Qin State. After Gan Luo returned to the country, he was commended by the King of Qin and was named Shangqing, and he also gave him the original land and houses of Gan Mao.
12-year-old secret of winning 16 cities
The first time I saw this story, I admire Gan Luo's clever tongue and so good at speaking. Not only did I convince Lu Buwei, who had seen countless people, but I also persuaded Zhang Tang, who had been through many battles, the wise and decisive King of Qin, and the neighboring king of King Zhao.
General, prime minister, and monarch all convinced Gan Luo. He was concise and smart, and could make a person change his mind quickly. Some things were better than Lu Buwei, but after reading them several times, he found that he had the best eloquence to applaud. If you want to be obedient, there are only two possibilities: a knife is placed on the neck, or sufficient benefits
Zhang Tang was unwilling to take risks, but Lu Buwei wanted him to go, how could he let him go? He might die if he took risks, but he would definitely die if he didn't take risks. Gan Luo thought through this point. He was confident that he had insight into the weakness of human nature. directly threatened Zhang Tang with death.
Ganluo, a 12-year-old boy cannot let a general die. No matter how fierce the words are, Zhang Tang is not afraid, but Lu Buwei can. Zhang Tang refused Lu Buwei's persuasion several times, which made the Prime Minister very unhappy. The other party suddenly sent a half-aged child to directly tell him that Fan Ju forced Bai Qi to death, and said that he would not obey, and he didn't know where he would die...
This is the last ultimatum of death. Zhang Tang was of course afraid. As an old minister, Zhang Tang might have an important reason for rejecting Lu Buwei. It was because he realized that attacking Zhao was to expand the fief of Lu Buwei's Hejian, which would make the King of Qin dislike, but Lu Buwei's people directly threatened to kill him. What should we do?
of course, be obedient.In fact, Lu Buwei is a businessman, and he is smart and ruthless. He is unwilling to regard harmony as the most important thing in his work, and he is unwilling to break up. Gan Luo is clever and taking advantage of the situation. He guided Zhang Tang to think so. That special situation is that his life is in the evening, so he can easily achieve his goal, but the key is that Lu Buwei agrees that he can pretend to be a tiger's power, so that he can go to Zhao State.
The King of Qin has not taken charge yet, and the major matters are decided by Lu Buwei. Gan Luo successfully sent a mission to Zhao State. The same coercion was added. This time he added temptation: sending five cities to relieve your worries about being attacked, and you can get several times more rewards. King Zhao weighed the pros and cons and was obedient, Gan Luo made great contributions.
The problem is that such a political star should have risen slowly, but why did it come to an abrupt end? Sima Qian is not recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian". Taishigong wrote rigorously and did not write it without conclusive historical materials. However, people in the world couldn't help but feel pity and arranged a mythological ending for him.
"Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty": Suddenly, Gan Luo Meng, the purple-clothed official came with the heavenly talisman and said: Follow the order of God, summoning him to heaven. Ganluo died without illness, and his talent was not alive. He was too smart, and God was jealous and took him away early.
, an ending with beautiful expectations, obviously cannot be taken seriously. Gan Luo is a person who has truly existed in history. He cannot disappear out of thin air. So some people speculate that there is only one person in the world who can make a child prodigy disappear without leaving any trace, namely Qin King Ying Zheng, the future First Emperor . This is how it is performed in " Great Qin Fu ". Gan Luo was killed by Ying Zheng with a knife. Gan Luo went to Zhao State to take back the city, but let the Qin King betray the alliance and friendship with Prince Dan of Yan. For several cities, Ying Zheng was injustice and could not swallow this breath. Gan Luo spoke in front of the Qin King, and the Prime Minister and the State Guard. He became a nobleman. Can Zhejiang endure it? ! Can't fix Lu Buwei, can't I teach Xiao Ganluo a lesson?
Ganluo became a victim of the struggle between monarchy and ministerial power. The TV series is performed in this way, and there is a lot of drama conflicts , but it is not a historical fact. Sima Qian wrote Gan Luo behind Gan Mao Biography and must have looked up historical materials. Unfortunately, no other deeds were found in .
, but no historical materials were found, which just cleared the suspicion of King Ying Zheng of Qin. As the king of Qin and the future emperor, Ying Zheng's historical materials are quite rich and preserved in a relatively complete manner. Sima Qian was dissatisfied with the brutal rule of Qin Shihuang , and even Ying Zheng might be the son of Lü Buwei. Such rumors were written. If Ying Zheng dared to kill the genius prodigy, Sima Qian would definitely have a close-up.
Qin Shihuang has a lot of rumors, but no matter what is passed down from generation to generation, what is compiled in later generations, it is true or false, it has not killed Gan Luo. For more than two thousand years, no one has linked Gan Luo's death with Qin Shihuang. shows that it is indeed not related to Ying Zheng.
What is the real Ganluo
And the biggest advantage of "The Great Qin Fu" is that it removes Ganluo's prodigy halo, breaks out of the perspective of Sima Qian and Ganluo, and looks at a person from the entire court. Seeing Ganluo in the eyes of King Qin, Lu Xiang, Zhao Envoy, and disciples, there are also pros and cons.
Ganluo has always been mythical. It is said that he has no father, only his mother. The rice in the fields is full of poplar flowers, but one ear is ripe. His mother is curious and eats the ear of grain and then becomes pregnant. The parents ask harshly, and the daughter tells the truth. The family digs the nest of grains and sees it grows from a dry screw shell, so they name the child Ganluo.
The halo that envelopes Ganluo's head is easy for people to ignore his true and complex side as a human being, and ignore the help and impact of his growth environment. Gan Luo's surname is Gan Luo, and he was born around 255 BC. His grandfather Gan Mao served as the left prime minister of Qin. He was an official for three generations and a famous family. The world he saw since childhood was different from that of ordinary people.
Gan Mao learned from various schools of thought and worked as a disciple in Qin Xiang Zhang Yi 's family. He was talented and courageous. He quickly won the favor of Zhang Yi and was recommended to King Huiwen of Qin . King Huiwen of Huiwen Ying Si also admired him very much and ordered him to lead troops to help conquer Hanzhong , but soon King Wu of Qin ascended the throne, King Wu of Zhang did not pay attention to Zhang Yi, and Gan Mao had a bleak future.
The Qin prince Shu Hou Hui and his aides stationed in Shu took advantage of the new king's throne to rebel. King Wu of Qin sent Gan Mao to quell the Shu rebellion. Gan Mao seized this opportunity well, wiped out the rebels, captured Gongzi Hui alive, and made great contributions. When he came back, he became the left prime minister.
King Wu of Qin told Gan Mao that he wanted to take a car and cross Sanchuan to meet the Zhou royal family. At that time, the land of Sanchuan was in the hands of Han , and Yiyang City was built. So Gan Mao asked for an envoy to Han and invited Wei to attack Han together. The king and his ministers were united. Gan Mao successfully captured Yiyang and beheaded 60,000.
After King Wu's death, King Zhaoxiang ascended the throne. Chu State attacked South Korea and sent people to Qin State for help. Queen Mother Xuan is a Chu State and is unwilling to send troops to Qin State to send troops to Qin State, but Gan Mao suggested that troops should be sent to support South Korea, which offended Queen Mother Xuan, and many other ministers said bad things about him. Gan Mao became the target of public criticism in Qin State. He was frightened and ran to Qi State on the occasion of attacking Wei.
The King of Qi made Gan Mao a noble, but Qi was not Qin, and Gan Mao was not the one before. He did not leave any political achievements. King Zhaoxiang realized Gan Mao's talent and treated him with preferential treatment for his family and wanted him to go back. Later, Gan Mao wanted to return to Qin by using his mission to Chu, but failed to do so. eventually died in Wei.
Under the words and deeds of my grandfather, Gan Luo was very good at seizing opportunities at a young age, and was influenced by the struggle for power. He knew how to use rights. His grandfather's path to promotion was to be first appreciated by the prime minister and then favored by the king. His path to rise was almost exactly the same. The glory of his ancestors is now dim, and Gan Luo couldn't wait to stand up and show his skills.
Gan Luo is talented or famous, and he must at least reach the height of the prime minister. He is so arrogant that he is arrogant. He ignores other disciples and mocks the old ministers in the court. He is not purely a TV series. He is young and energetic, sharp and arrogant, and has many characteristics of a genius boy.
Lu Buwei failed to persuade Zhang Tang several times. Gan Luo thought it was because he had no ability or means and would not use his power to the extreme. It was not that simple. Ying Zheng ascended the throne at the age of 13 and before he came to power in adulthood, the highest rights of Qin were in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji and the regent minister Lu Buwei. Zhao Ji was the legal supreme ruler of Qin. He even completed the transfer of military documents and stamped the seal of the King of Qin. , and also had to stamp the seal of the Empress Dowager
Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei's old relationship rekindled, but soon Lu Buwei withdrew and sent him to Lao Ai . On the surface, he was afraid of filthing the harem and making the King of Qin unhappy, but in fact he was afraid that the power would be too great and violate the king's rebellious scale. He was already an extremely minister. With Zhao Ji's power, the King of Qin could not sleep or eat.
Lu Buwei has three rights: First, he is the prime minister, the chief of all officials, and the powerful minister. Second, he has the great contribution to establishing a king in the country, he is the minister of orphanage, he is the teacher of the King of Qin, or the Zhongfu of the King of Qin, and third, he is still Wenxinhou , with three thousand guests, ten thousand servants, and food in Luoyang 10,000 households, has both noble and stable status
. The three statuses are superimposed. Lu Buwei is extremely powerful. He is a wealthy businessman and an important official. He is both smart and sophisticated. Gan Luo thought that his ruthlessness was a disadvantage. In fact, Lu Buwei was very clear. It is best to be low-key and restrained. But Hejian was his fiefdom. He wanted to take the opportunity to expand. Zhang Tang knew very well, so he never agreed. was afraid of attracting the taboo of the King of Qin.
Gan Luo may be too young to make a name for himself. He ignored these things and directly threatened him. If he didn't listen to Prime Minister Lu, he would die. There was nothing that Lu Buwei could not do. After a threat, Zhang Tang was obedient, but afterwards, he would think that Gan Luo was too radical and young. It was not in line with his style and interests.
Where did Gan Luo go?
After a few words, the reason why King Zhao was obedient was because he was the biggest winner. It seemed that Qin State enjoyed 16 cities without any effort, but in fact, Zhao State got 19 cities. King Zhao generously cut 5 cities to Qin State at once. It seemed stupid, but in fact he settled the accounts very clearly. Not only did he not suffer any losses, he made a lot of money.
Strategically speaking, Zhao State is the real beneficiary. Within a few years of Ganluo's mission, Zhao State attacked Yan State three times and obtained many cities. There were no more Qin State in these few times, which was equivalent to weakening Yan State and becoming stronger Zhao State. King Ying Zheng of Qin would soon discover this and found that the land of Hejian State he brought became Lu Buwei's territory.
At this time, Lao Ai's power was at its peak and he wanted to gradually overwhelm the Lu Buwei group. Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was his backer and gave birth to two sons for him. He was appointed Changxinhou, and had a large fiefdom in Taiyuan, Hexi. " No matter how big or small it depends on Lao" .
When King Qin Ying Zheng took power and took back the power of his mother and Zhongfa, Lao Ai was frightened and fell from heaven to earth. The difference was too big. Moreover, everything he committed was a death row, so he raised an army to rebel and treason and was successfully suppressed. Lao Ai was recommended by Lu Buwei. Ying Zheng thought about his assistance to the two generations of Qin kings, and could not bear to do the law. However, the King of Qin ruled would inevitably have friction with the prime minister who monopolized the power. The political dispute between the two had a long history. One and a half years later, Lu Buwei was removed from his post as prime minister and lived in the fiefdom of Henan.
Unexpectedly, the princes of various countries frequently sent envoys to greet Lu Buwei, which was easy to collude internally and externally and launch a rebellion. Ying Zheng wanted to cut off his contact with foreign countries, fiefs, and old officials. The handling was so severe that Lu Buwei was worried that he would implicate his clan members, so he died of drinking. Thousands of guests buried him in Beimangshan and cried for him. It was very popular and suspected of political demonstrations.
After Lu Buwei's death, the King of Qin ordered the expulsion of his guest officials. All non-Qin people left. Ganluo and Li Si were also among the expelled ones. Li Si was reinstated with the "Memorial on the Exorcist of Guests", and Ganluo was not heard of in Qin since then.
Ying Zheng is very politically wise. After the threat is lifted, it is important to promptly pardon innocent people. Gan Luo was ambitious at the age of 12. Qin had the momentum to unify the world. He could not have been away from Qin. Besides, he had long been appreciated by the King of Qin. There was only one reason for obscurity in the future. He could not meet Ying Zheng's requirements
Sima Qian commented on Gan Luo: Although he was not a gentleman who practiced his decisiveness, he was also a strategy man in the Warring States Period. Gan Luo is an amazing strategist. He is very eloquent and good at diplomacy. He is a Zhang Yi-like strategist , but Zhang Yi's method was outdated in the era of King Wu of Qin.
Weak countries have no diplomacy, while strong countries disdain for diplomacy. From King Zhaoxiang of Qin to King Ying Zheng ascending the throne, over the past sixty years, the Qin State has launched wars again and again, and each time it has captured dozens of cities and killed tens of thousands of people, greatly reducing the enemy's vitality.
Qin State is swallowing, not eroding. Qin State has been the king of king Huiwen, and its next goal is to be the emperor. Qin King Ying Zheng wants to purge the six kingdoms, rather than occupying several cities and lands, and he can't wait for a moment to unify the Central Plains!
Gan Luo was not his grandfather Gan Mao. During the war, it is more important to be able to fight than to be eloquent. His strategy of governing the country is easier to become successful than other talents. It is said that around 234 BC, Gan Luo lived in seclusion in Xiacai after leaving Qin State, and began to travel everywhere, leaving footprints in many places. The 12 tombs may be the tombs of clothing commemorated by future generations.
