GanroThe inside story of the year's worship: the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and Lu Buwei is the key
The prodigy Ganluo may not have been born, or he may have been polished in the salon. When chatting with friends, talk about what you need to pay attention to when writing a report to the leader, and you can't easily dig a hole for the leader.
For example, there was a secretary who prepared a very good report, but the pagination was not done well, resulting in a quote from a famous sentence, and after the leader read it, he patted the case and said: "The correct thinking of man fell from the sky!" ”
There was an uproar at the scene, and the leader turned to the next page, stunned for a moment, and then asked: "....Is that so? ”
I remember seeing an interesting story about the prodigy Gan Luo, who became Shangqing at the age of twelve, because he was an envoy to Zhao and succeeded in getting sixteen cities from Qin.
However, there are also those who question the authenticity of this story, believing that it may have been made up by a person with a lot of words, rather than a real historical event. This is not unreasonable, because in the "Warring States Policy" and "Historical Records", there may be some discrepancies in the records of Ganluo, which is mainly due to the limited historical information at the time, so there may be some deviations between the two works.
However, I personally believe that the story is true, and although there may be some discrepancies in the specific details, it is still historically logical overall. For example, Gan Luo showed excellent eloquence and resourcefulness in the scene of "lobbying Zhang Tang", which was also a key moment in his fame.
In 244 BC, when Ganluo was only 12 years old, he served as a young concubine (or middle concubine) under Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin state, and became a well-known figure among the children of famous families.
At this time, Yan formed an alliance with Qin and sent the crown prince Dan into Qin as a hostage, and Lü Buwei planned to send his minister Zhang Tang to Yan to serve as the prime minister, but Zhang Tang refused for fear of retaliation from Zhao.
Lü Buwei was unhappy about this, but there was no other way. When Gan Luo saw it, he volunteered to help Lü Buwei persuade Zhang Tang. Lü Buwei was skeptical, and Gan Luo said that although he was young, he still had a way to convince Zhang Tang.
Lü Buwei finally agreed to let Gan Luo try, and Gan Luo successfully persuaded Zhang Tang by asking him a few questions. Lü Buwei therefore had a heart for Ganluo and recommended him to Qin Shi Huang.
Although Ganluo's eloquence and persuasiveness were the key to success, in essence, Ganluo was able to successfully persuade Zhang Tang because of Lü Buwei's appreciation and trust in Zhang Tang.
In interpersonal communication, we often find that some people are difficult to be persuaded by "truth", especially people like Zhang Tang. Although the truth is important, if you just act on the truth, you often have to pay a huge price.
Although Gan Luo is eloquent, he was able to successfully convince Zhang Tang not only because his reasoning was extravagant, but more importantly, he knew how to use the knife handle to threaten Zhang Tang.
In fact, when Gan Luo went out from Lü Buwei, he already had a premonition that he would be able to successfully persuade Zhang Tang. The conversation between Gan Luo and Zhang Tang reveals a frank threat.
If we stand in Zhang Tang's position, we will feel the threat of Lü Buwei. When you just rejected the request of a powerful minister, the other party suddenly sent a half-old child over to tell you about Fan Sui forcing Bai Qi to die, and also said that if you refused Grandpa Lu, I didn't know that you would die in **, Zhang Tang must have thought that this was Lu Buwei warning himself.
The reason why Zhang Tang, the old fritter, rejected Lü Buwei may have been because he had realized that Lü Buwei's purpose in preparing to attack Zhao was to expand his fiefdom in Hejian, and if he supported him, it might arouse the disgust of Qin Shi Huang, who already understood what power was all about.
Now that I see Lu Buwei directly talking to him about giving death, do you think he is afraid?
Ganluo, a young man who became prime minister at the age of twelve, successfully completed his mission with resourcefulness and courage, allowing the state of Zhao to cede five cities to expand the land between the rivers.
And behind all this may be Lü Buwei's more insidious calculations. He sent Gan Luo to the state of Zhao, so that the states of Qin and Zhao joined forces against the state of Yan. Although Zhang Tang went to Yan to strengthen the Qin-Yan alliance, Ganluo triggered an incident in Zhao State where Qin and Zhao cooperated to pit Yan, which was undoubtedly a demolition of Zhang Tang.
After seeing that the Zhao army made a preemptive attack and captured the thirty cities of Shanggu, Lü Buwei might have felt that his head was once again put on the chopping block by the little guy. He might have thought that the Qin State was so treacherous, and Yan Wangxi was not so easy to be manipulated, if he couldn't defeat the Zhao State, couldn't he still kill this Qin State spy?
There is no record of Zhang Tang's later fate in the history books, but he may be the same as Li Shiqi, and finally end up with a fate. In fact, this is also my confusion, our civilization is 2,000 years ahead of him, we have experienced the college entrance examination and the digitization of information, but we still can't understand the plan of this sixth-grade child.
Is he a genius? Did genius really fall from the sky? 【To be continued】Welcome to pay attention to ***Sasutime.
