Looking for the success story of ancient teenagers in China

Ganluo (birth and death unknown) was born in Cai Xia (now Ganluo Township, Yingshang County) at the end of the Warring States Period. Gan Luo, the grandson of Gan Mao, was a famous young hero in the Warring States Period. Gan Luo, 12 years old, was an attendant of the Qin Dynasty. Little is known in the ruling and opposition circles. On one occasion, the Qin Dynasty wanted to send an emissary to the State of Yan. Lv Buwei asked Zhang Tang, an old minister, to send an order, but repeated persuasion failed. Ganluo went to see Zhang Tang to analyze the general trend of the world. Zhang Tang was impressed by the advantages and disadvantages of this series of missions, so he gladly ordered Yan and praised Ganluo's talent. This matter soon, recommended by Lv Buwei, Gan Luo, as the special envoy of the king of Qin, was ordered to go to Zhao, convincingly persuaded the king of Zhao to send troops to attack Yan, and Qin won five cities as easily as blowing off dust. Ganluo's outstanding exploits shocked the Qing Dynasty. Qin Zhao Haoqi named him Shangqing and returned the confiscated land to him.

In the Ming Dynasty, Yingshang County built the "Erxian Temple" to commemorate the grandparents of Gan Mao and Ganluo. Erxian Temple was expanded into Sixian Temple, dedicated to Guan Zhong and Bao.

Historical Records Volume 7 1 contains Biography of Ganluo.

Grandfather Gan Mao, a famous figure in Qin State, was once the left prime minister of Qin State. Under the guidance of grandpa, Ganluo was smart and eloquent from an early age and was deeply loved by his family. Later, Gan Mao was ostracized by others, forced to flee from the State of Qin, and soon died in the State of Wei. In his early years, Gan Luo defected to the door of Lv Buwei in Qin Dynasty and became his genius guest.

Life story:

Said Zhang Tang went to Yan.

One day, when Lv Buwei came home, he looked very ugly and looked very angry. When Ganluo saw this, he stepped forward and asked, "What's on the Prime Minister's mind? Can you tell me? " Lv Buwei was very depressed. Seeing it was Ganluo, he waved. "Go away, go away, what do children know?" Gan Luo said loudly, "Didn't the Prime Minister adopt Gong to help you solve your problem? Now that you have something on your mind but don't tell me, even if I want to help, there is no chance! " Lv Buwei saw that he was full of confidence, so he changed his attitude and said, "It has been three years since the emperor sent his newly-married king Cai Ze to Yan, and the prince is very satisfied with him. It is a friendly gesture to send Taizi Dan to the state of Qin as a hostage. I sent Zhang Tang to the state of Yan as a photo, and the result of divination was also very auspicious, but he made an excuse not to go. "

That's what happened. Zhang Tang is a minister of the State of Qin. He led an army to attack Zhao and occupied a large area of land. The prince of Zhao hated him, claiming that if someone killed Zhang Tang, he would be rewarded with a hundred miles. The mission to Yan had to go through Zhao, so Zhang Tang refused to go. Gan Luo smiled: "It turned out to be such a trivial matter. Why didn't the Prime Minister let me persuade him? " Lv Buwei scolded him: "Children, don't talk nonsense. He won't even go if I invite him myself, not to mention that you are young. " Ganluo said unconvinced, "I heard that Xiang Tuo was respected as a teacher by Confucius at the age of seven. Now I am five years older than him. Why not let me try? If you don't succeed, you can blame me again! " Lv Buwei couldn't help admiring his firm tone, so he changed his attitude and slowed down and said, "OK, then you try!" ! After the job is done, there will be great returns. "GanLuo saw that he agreed, not much said, and left happily.

When he arrived at Zhang Tang's home, Zhang Tang heard that he was a tourist from Lv Buwei. He hurried out to meet each other and found that Ganluo was just a teenager. He couldn't help but feel disdain and asked, "What are you doing here?" Ganluo saw his arrogance and said; "I've come to mourn you." Zhang Tang was furious: "How can a child talk like this? There are no dead people in my house. Why do you want to mourn? " Ganluo smiled and said, "I dare not talk nonsense. Please let me explain why. Compared with Wu, Bai Qi, who deserves more credit! " Zhang Tang quickly replied, "Wu Anjun is brave and good at fighting. He attacked the powerful state of Chu in the south and gained great popularity in Zhao Yan in the north. He occupied countless places and made outstanding achievements. How dare I compare with him? " "Who is more authoritarian than Fan Ju and Wen Xinhou? "Won hou cheng phase before the qin dynasty, Wen Xin hou. Zhang Tang replied: "Ying Hou is certainly not as arbitrary as Wen Xin Hou!" "Do you really know that waiting is not as exclusive as Wen Xinhou?" Zhang Tang said, "Of course. "Ganluo smiled;" In that case, why don't you refuse to go? I heard that when Won Hou tried to attack Zhao, he objected and was sent to die after leaving Xianyang Qili. People like Wu Anjun can't be tolerated after winning. Do you think Wen Huihou will tolerate you? "Zhang Tang listened to can't help sweating like a pig. Gan Luo saw it and said, "If you are willing to go to Yan State, I will go to Zhao State first for you." Zhang Tang quickly thanked and agreed, and asked him to go back and report to the Prime Minister.

See the king of Qin

Ganluo went back and told Lv Buwei this situation. Lv Buwei was very happy to hear this. Gan Luo said, "Although Zhang Tang has to go, he may be in trouble after passing through Zhao. I'm going to find Zhao first for him. " Lv Buwei had long believed in his talent, thought about it, and agreed, and said to King Tai, "Your Majesty, Gan Mao has a grandson named Ganluo. At the age of twelve, he defected to the minister's door. He comes from a noble family, is good at calculation and can speak eloquently. This time, Zhang Tang Tuo was ill and didn't go to Yan, so he agreed. Moreover, he wants to go to Zhao to beg Zhang Tang Tuo first. Please promise him! " Hearing this, the king of Qin told Ganluo to come in and see him. After a while, he found his royal highness walking into a young man with fine features. I couldn't help liking it and asked with a smile, "Do you want to find Zhao?" Gan Luo replied: "Yes." "Then what will you say when you see Queen Zhao?" "I see his appearance, the camera. I don't know Wang Zhao's reaction and I'm not sure what to say. " Seeing that he had a glib tongue and answered quickly, the king of Qin promised to give him ten cars and more than one hundred servants. Tell him to find Zhao.

Give it to Zhao

The prince of Zhao had long heard that the State of Qin was going to send someone to the State of Yan to take photos, and he was always anxious, fearing that Qin Yan would unite to attack him. At this time, I heard that the envoy of Qin asked for an audience, and quickly said, "Call him in." After a while, I saw a young man coming slowly. Qingyin said, "My little minister Gan Luo has been ordered by the king of Qin to meet the king of Zhao." The prince of Zhao quickly asked him to sit down beside him. He secretly wondered how Qin could send such a child. Looking at it carefully, I can't help liking it. Seeing Ganluo's extraordinary appearance, clear eyes and a dignified air in his brow, he asked, "Who was the last prime minister of Qin?" Ganluo replied. "It's my grandfather." "How old are you this year?" "I am twelve years old this year." The prince of Zhao couldn't help laughing. "Isn't anyone in the qin dynasty to send? Let your child come out! " Gan Luo unhurriedly replied: We, the king of Qin, are meritocratic in employing people and let them bear different responsibilities. They can only take on heavy responsibilities when they are high, and they can only take on small responsibilities when they are low. The king of Qin thinks this is a trivial matter. So he sent me. "The prince of Zhao listened to Ganluo's words and respected him for a few minutes." What's the matter with you going to Zhao Guolai this time? Gan Luo asked, "Did your majesty ever hear that Yan Taizi Dan entered the Qin and Wei Dynasties as a hostage?" ? The prince of Zhao nodded, and Gan Luo asked, "Did your majesty ever hear that Zhang Tang was going to Yan?" The prince of Zhao nodded again. In that case, why don't you work hard? Yan sent a prince to enter, indicating that Yan did not deceive Qin; Qin sent Zhang Tang to Yan as a photo, which showed that Qin did not cheat Yan. If Yan and Qin don't bully each other, Zhao will be in danger. Wang Zhao listened and asked, "What did Qin and Yan make peace for?" ? Gan Luo replied: "Qin Yan reconciled for no other reason, just to attack Zhao and expand Hejian's territory!" ""Oh, really? What do you think of this visit? " Wang Zhao asked the king to expand the territory of Qin to five cities. The king of Qin was naturally happy. You can ask him to send the prince back and cut off Qin Yan's kindness, so that you can attack Yan with confidence. Are you still worried that you won't get five cities when you attack Xiaoyan with the powerful Zhao State? "The prince of Zhao was very happy to hear this, so he gave him a pair of gold and white jade, and gave him the map of the five cities given to the State of Qin, so that he could bring it back to the king of Qin.

Juvenile priest kan luu

Gan Luo returned to Qin, and the king of Qin praised him and said, "Your wisdom is really beyond your age!" " So he was named Shang Qing (the highest official position of the vassal state in the Warring States period, equivalent to the prime minister), and gave him the original farmland house in Gan Mao. When Zhao learned that Qin had broken up with Yan, he sent troops to attack Yan and got 30 cities, three of which were given to Qin.

On the big stage of the Warring States Period, all kinds of talents emerge one after another. When Gan Luo was twelve years old, he had already used his own wisdom to deal with princes, and it was unique in the history of China that Qin got sixteen cities with one soldier. He is really a genius child prodigy!
