The king of Qin begged for male eggs,The grandson of the year three days gets
As the supreme ruler, the emperor enjoyed supreme power. However, even so, he would sometimes make some bizarre and vexatious demands in order to embarrass his courtiers.
This situation is not only a test of the courtier's adaptability, but also a challenge to the wisdom of those who hold power. For example, the King of Qin once made a ridiculous request to eat male eggs, and the time limit was three days.
If the courtiers are not satisfied, they will face the danger of being beheaded and beheaded.
King Qin found fault and wanted to govern his courtiers, but was resolved by the wit of his 7-year-old grandson. Children have such wisdom and courage at a young age, and they will surely become talents with great achievements when they grow up.
But did that clever kid finally succeed in getting the rooster to lay eggs?
Of course not, not only did he not go to find eggs, but he was also above the court, in front of hundreds of officials, he took the army of the king of Qin, leaving the dignified king of Qin speechless, and he could not be punished for his crimes.
Ancient emperors all wanted to live forever, and King Qin, who had been committed to unifying the six kingdoms, was no exception. One day, King Qin had a whim and brewed a bad move. He told the minister that he had heard that eating male eggs could lead to immortality, and that he treated the ministers well on weekdays, hoping that the ministers could solve problems for him and find male eggs within three days, otherwise they would be punished for their ineffectiveness.
The minister understood King Qin's request for punishment, and he tried to explain to King Qin that there was no such thing as a rooster that could lay eggs in the world, but King Qin was unmoved. In desperation, the minister could only go home anxiously to find a solution.
Seeing this, his grandson came up to inquire about it. When the grandson learned that the king of Qin wanted to eat male eggs, he confidently said that the matter would be easy, and he would reply to the king of Qin for his grandfather within three days.
Despite the chancellor's adventures, he chose to trust his 7-year-old grandson. When the three-day deadline came, the minister did not go to the court in person, but let Sun Tzu go to see the king of Qin on his own.
King Qin searched for the minister's figure in the crowd, but found only a half-old child standing there. He scoffed: "Are the ministers afraid of death and afraid to come to me?" ”
The child's reaction was very calm, he made a salute and told King Qin: "It's not that the ministers don't want to come, but they have children at home." These words caused the Manchu civil and military to burst into laughter.
King Qin thought that the child was talking nonsense, so he asked him, "How can a man have a child?" The child was prepared, and replied unhurriedly: "The king also knows that men cannot have children, so how does the rooster lay eggs?" ”
This sharp question made King Qin speechless, although the child's words were correct, but the ministers in the court heard these words, and King Qin really couldn't attack. After enduring it for a while, King Qin realized that this little boy was not only talented, but also courageous, so he no longer held the minister accountable for his crimes.
In this way, the minister's family was able to save their lives, and the minister's grandson received special attention from the king of Qin. Although the ** of this story cannot be verified, making people wonder whether such a smart child really existed during the Warring States period, this plot still has a certain legend.
Ganluo, who was sent to Zhao at the age of twelve, helped Qin take more than a dozen cities with tricks, and was an outstanding young courtier. His grandfather, Gan Mao, was the general and prime minister of Qin during the Warring States Period.
Due to the slander of the villain, Gan Mao was forced to leave the Qin State and join the Qi State, and became the secretary of the Qi State. The State of Qin had always been bitter about the loss of Gan Mao, and tried to get Gan Mao to return when he was on an envoy to the State of Chu, but was rejected by the State of Chu.
Although the authenticity of the story of the genius young prime minister is questionable, Gan Luo did hold an important position in the Qin state in history.
Although he initially admired Gan Mao, as Gan Mao's status in the heart of King Qin gradually increased, his jealousy also began to heat up, fearing that Gan Mao would steal his limelight.
Therefore, he began to squeeze out Gan Mao openly and covertly. In desperation, Gan Mao chose to leave. However, his grandson Ganluo was trusted by Prime Minister Lü Buwei and became his young concubine.
Gan Luo was very intelligent, and before he was a minor, he was appreciated by Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng and sent to envoy Zhao State. At that time, Lü Buwei did not believe that Ganluo, who was only 12 years old, could make a difference in national affairs, but Ganluo recommended himself as an envoy to Zhao State.
Gan Luo persuaded King Xiang of Zhao with his wisdom and proposed to send five cities to Qin in exchange for Qin's help in attacking Yan. The king of Zhao readily agreed, and the Qin army succeeded in capturing thirty cities in the upper valley, and Gan Luo proposed that Zhao only need to get eleven of them.
King Zhao immediately did so, and Ganluo returned to Qin smoothly, and Qin Shi Huang gave Gan Luo all the properties and properties of Gan Mao in Qin, and also made him Shangqing. Although the Qin State did not keep Gan Mao, it had Gan Luo, who was better than the blue.
However, the story of Ganro's later years is not recorded in the history books.
Some say that Gan Luo may have been executed by Qin Shi Huang, while others believe that he was framed by Lü Buwei. After all, his intelligence was superior, how could Lü Buwei tolerate a young man with a position comparable to him to share his power in the imperial court?
