/kloc-Prime Minister at the age of 0/2

Gan Luo (date of birth and death unknown) was born in Cai Xia (now Yingshang, Anhui Province) of Chu State during the Warring States Period. He was brilliant since he was a child and was a famous young politician. Gan Luo was elected as the youngest politician in the history of China, world record association and China. His grandfather, Gan Mao, was a famous figure in Qin State, and once served as 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 rejected by others, forced to flee from the State of Qin, and soon died in the State of Wei. When Gan Luo was twelve years old, he defected to the door of Lv Buwei, the prime minister of Qin State, and became his talented guest.

At that time, the State of Qin tried to attack Zhao with the State of Yan, and planned to send Minister Zhang Tang to the State of Yan, but Zhang Tang refused. There's nothing Lv Buwei can do. Gan Luo, who was only twelve years old at that time, knew all about state affairs. Ganluo volunteered to persuade Zhang Tang to go to his post. Lv Buwei didn't believe him at first. Gan Luo said confidently, "Xiang Tuo became Confucius' teacher when he was seven years old. Now I 12 years old. Can't you let me have a try? " Lv Buwei had to agree to his request.

Gan Luo drove to Zhang Tang and said, "In those days, Wu disobeyed Hou's orders to attack Zhao, was driven out of Xianyang and died. Now Wen Xinhou's power is much greater than that of Ying Hou. If you disobey his orders, it seems that your death is not far away! " Hearing this, Zhang Tang was so scared that he promised to go to see Yan.

With the consent of the government, Gan Luo went to Zhao to lobby according to the intention of Qin State to expand Hejian County. In view of Zhao Wang's psychological state that Qin Yan's alliance is unfavorable to Zhao, he went to great lengths to say: "Qin Yan's alliance is nothing more than trying to occupy the land between Zhao and the river." If you cede the five cities of Hejian to the State of Qin, I can go back and persuade the King of Qin to cancel the mission of Zhang Tang and sever the alliance with the State of Yan. When the time comes, when you attack Yan, Qin will never interfere, and Zhao will have as many as five cities! " Zhao Wang was overjoyed and gave Ganluo the map and household registration of Hejian 5 cities. Ganluo returned with a full load, and Qin won the land of Hejian without a single soldier. The King of Qin named Ganluo, who was 0/2 years old, as Shangqing, and gave him the land that was named Gan Mao in that year. Because the rank of prime minister was similar to that of Shangqing at that time, people inferred that Ganluo was the prime minister of 12 years old.

This shows that Gan Luo's intelligence is not only unmatched by his peers, but also by ordinary adults. He's a prodigy!

Cao Chong

Amazing wisdom

Among the prodigies of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Chong is undoubtedly the most famous. Cao Chong, son of Cao Cao. Cao Chong has shown amazing talent since he was a child, and his understanding ability is very strong. By the age of five or six, he had reached the adult level, leaving an allusion to Cao Chong's image. The Biography of Shu Wei Wargo and Chong Wang also recorded one thing, saying that Cao Cao's army conquered the world and the criminal law was very strict, which led to frequent unjust cases. Once, a saddle in the warehouse was bitten by a mouse, which happened to be Cao Cao's. The soldiers in the warehouse management were frightened and thought that they must be doomed and dead. When Cao Chong found out, he cut a small hole in his clothes with a knife and pretended to be bitten by a mouse, with a sad face. Cao Cao saw it and asked him what was wrong. He replied, "Everyone says that clothes are bitten by rats, and the owner of the clothes will suffer misfortune." Cao Cao smiled and said, "That's all nonsense. There will be no happiness or misfortune at all. " Later, the soldier in charge of the warehouse truthfully reported the mouse biting the saddle. Cao Cao understood Cao Chong's intention and smiled, so he didn't pursue the matter again.

Compared with the talented Cao Zhi and the manipulative Cao Pi, Cao Chong's wisdom can be said to be amazing. In fact, Cao Chong not only has this kind of "intelligence", but also "discerns benevolence and righteousness, is born with beautiful appearance and is different from others, so he is particularly favored." He often uses his wisdom and position to do something important to save lives. According to historical records: "When the war is in turmoil, the punishment is heavy. . . Dozens of people should be guilty, defended by Chongwei and helped by it. " Cao Chong is undoubtedly a genius, probably because of this, he was loved by Cao Cao and was chosen as his successor at a very young age. Unfortunately, he only lived until he was thirteen and died of acute illness.

Enlighten my father with words

Meng Changjun, whose real name is Tian Wen, is the son of Tian Ying, the prime minister of Qi. Tian Ying has more than forty sons. Tian Wen was born to one of Tian Ying's concubines, and was born on the fifth day of May. Because local customs think that the baby born on this day will be bad for his father, Tian Ying asked Tian Wen's mother to throw away the baby and told her, "Don't feed him." However, Tian Wen's mother secretly raised him.

On Tian Wen's fifth birthday, Tian Ying found out the secret, flew into a rage and said angrily to her mother, "I told you to throw this child away, and you dare to feed him." Why? " Before Tian Wen's mother could answer, Tian Wen immediately kowtowed and asked Tian Ying, "What is the reason why you don't want to raise a child born in May?" Tian Ying replied: "The child born in May will be as tall as the portal, which will harm mom and dad."

Tian Wen said: "Is man's destiny given by heaven? Or is it granted by the portal? " Tian Ying didn't know how to answer well, so she was silent. Tian Wen went on to say, "If this is a gift from heaven, why are you worried?" ? If it is granted by the portal, it is enough to raise the portal. Who can grow so tall! "Tian Ying was speechless and scolded:" Stop it! After a while, Tian Wen took the opportunity to ask his father, "What's the son's name?" Tian Ying replied, "It's called grandson." Tian Wen then asked, "What's the grandson's name?" Tian Ying replied: "It's called Xuansun." Tian Wen asked again, "What's the name of this great-grandson?" Tian Ying said, "I don't know." He said, "You have become the prime minister of Qi, and now you have experienced three generations of kings. However, the territory of Qi has not expanded, but your private property has accumulated a lot of gold, and you can't see a talent under your door. It is said that there must be a general in a general's family and a prime minister in a prime minister's family. Now your concubines can trample on silks and satins, but wise men can't wear coarse cloth and short clothes; Your servants and slaves have leftover broth, but wise people can't even eat chaff. Now you are still trying to accumulate and want to leave it to those who can't even name it, but you forget that the country is losing power among the princes. I am very strange in private. "

From then on, Tian Ying changed her attitude towards Tian Wen, attached importance to him, and made him responsible for housework and receiving guests. With the increasing number of guests, Tian Wen's reputation spread to various vassal States. The vassal States sent people to ask Tian Ying to make Tian Wen a prince, and Tian Ying agreed.

Most people think that the Sui Dynasty is unbreakable, but Fang is young, but he can see its potential decline from its superficial prosperity. He said to his father, "The Sui Dynasty didn't benefit the people at all, but only fooled the people to maintain its rule. Moreover, the royal brothers are not in harmony, and the contradictions will intensify in the future, causing chaos in the world! In my opinion, the day of Sui's national subjugation is not far away. " The father was surprised and told his son not to talk nonsense.

Soon, Fang's words came true. Emperor Wendi was killed and Yang Guang succeeded to the throne. Soon, there were insurgents everywhere, and there was chaos in the world. The sui dynasty was vulnerable, and Tang gaozu and his son took the opportunity to take the world.
