There are many prodigies in history, Cao Chong can be called an elephant at the age of seven, Yan Shu can be a literary at the age of seven, however, most of these prodigies only have literary talent or quick thinking, Gan Luo was worshiped as the secretary of Qin at the age of 12, this is a real political prodigy.
In fact, Ganluo did not serve as a prime minister, but at that time, the official position of "Shangqing" was equivalent to the prime minister, so in later generations, there was a saying that "Ganluo worshiped the prime minister twelve times, and the prince met King Wen at eighty".
Ganluo stills. Gan Luo is the grandson of Gan Mao, the left prime minister of Qin, and can be regarded as a famous family. The year of his birth and death is not recorded in history, but some scholars speculate that Ganluo was only three years younger than Qin Shi Huang, and according to this theory, Ganluo should have been born in 256 BC.
Gan Luo's grandfather Gan Mao had helped King Wu of Qin capture Yiyang and was deeply respected, but King Wu of Qin died in the king of Zhou, so Gan Mao was also excluded in the court and depressed.
However, he was not familiar with the place in Qi State, and Gan Mao did not realize his desire to turn over, and he was also old, and he died in a few years.
After Gan Mao's death, the Gan family became in decline, and after going around and around, Gan Luo went to Lü Buwei's door to be a young concubine, this young concubine is not an official position, but a general term for the minister's young guestsGanluo was only 12 years old and was able to enter Lü Buwei's door as a staff member, which also proved that Ganluo had some skills
Gan Luo really showed his talent in the art of the nations.
Around 244 BC, when the king of Qin was young, the power of Qin was in the hands of Lü Buwei, who wanted to expand Qin's territory in Hejian, and the area between Hejian was the land of Zhao and YanIf Qin insisted on expanding its territory in the river, then it was bound to have a battle with Yan Zhao
In order to be able to obtain the land between the rivers without blood, Lü Buwei made some arrangements, he sent Cai Ze, the king of Gangcheng, to Yan as a minister, and persuaded Yan to send Prince Dan to Qin as a hostage, so as to achieve the goal of the alliance between Qin and Yan, and this is exactly Qin's trick to destroy the six countries.
In order to further strengthen the cooperation with Yan State, Lü Buwei planned to send Zhang Tang to Yan State as the prime minister, so as to unite Yan State to attack Zhao State, when Lü Buwei told Zhang Tang about this idea, but Zhang Tang refused without hesitation, because he had led troops to attack Zhao Land many times, and killed a lot, and the Zhao people hated it to the core, if he went to Yan State, it was bound to pass through Zhao State, he was afraid of being targeted by Zhao people, and he may die before he arrived, and the gains outweighed the losses, and his reputation would be damaged.
In this way, Ren Lu Buwei said that Zhang Tang just didn't go, and in the end, Zhang Tang didn't even hide at home and didn't come out.
Lu Buwei's good calculations couldn't be used here by Zhang Tang, and things fell into an embarrassment.
Lü Buwei stills.
Lü Buwei was very worried, he had been planning for a long time to seize the land of Zhao State, and now he was about to take the last step, but Zhang Tang did not agree, so he was very anxious and repeatedly convened his staff to find a way.
At this time, 12-year-old Ganluo stood up and expressed his willingness to share the worries of the lord, at first, Lu Buwei did not look at the 12-year-old child in his eyes, but he couldn't stand Ganluo's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and the dead horse was treated as a live horse doctor, and finally agreed to let Ganluo try.
After Ganluo, who Mao recommended himself, received the order, he found Zhang Tang, and after seeing Zhang Tang, Ganluo did not ink, and directly expressed his intention, not surprisingly, Zhang Tang really refused.
At this critical moment, Gan Luo made a move out of nowhere, and he first asked Zhang Tang: "Do you have as much credit for the Qin State as Wu Anjun Bai Qi?" ”
White stills. What kind of person is Bai Qi, he has fought in the south and north in his life, rarely defeated, and has made great contributions to the Qin State, and half of the lives of the countries killed in battle are in his hands, Zhang Tang naturally did not dare to compare with Bai Qi, so he replied: "Bai Qi defeated the powerful Chu State in the south, and shocked Yan and Zhao in the north. ”
Gan Luo asked again: "Then who do you think is more powerful than Fan Sui back then and Lü Buwei today?" ”
Fan Sui was the prime minister of the Qin Zhaoxiang Dynasty, and was named the Marquis of Qin because of his meritorious service to the Qin State, while Lü Buwei was the "middle father" of the Qin King Yingzheng, Yingzheng was young, and Lü Buwei was the actual ruler of the Qin State. Therefore, Zhang Tang replied without hesitation: "Naturally, Lu Buwei is more powerful." ”
Gan Luo said immediately after hearing thisBack then, Bai Qi was hanged by Fan Sui as soon as he came out of Xianyang Qili, and your current credit is not as good as Bai Qi, Fan Sui's strength is not as big as Lu Buwei, what should you do, is it not clear?
Fan Ju stills. After listening to Gan Luo's words, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and could only obediently agree to go to Yan Kingdom to take office.
In this way, Ganluo completed the task brilliantly, and Lü Buwei was impressed by the 12-year-old. Immediately afterwards, Gan Luo volunteered to take on a heavier task - to envoy Zhao State.
After Ganluo came to Zhao State, he saw King Zhao Mourning Xiang, and King Zhao Mourning Xiang saw that the envoy of Qin State turned out to be a child, and he couldn't help but feel contempt, but when Ganluo opened his mouth, perhaps he was defenseless against a yellow-mouthed child, and King Zhao Mourning Xiang suddenly went on the road.
At the beginning, Gan Luo asked King Zhao Mourning if he knew about the alliance between Qin and Yan, and King Zhao Mourning said that he had heard about it, and since Zhao already knew about the alliance between Qin and Yan, it would be easy to do.
Gan Luo said to King Zhao: "In the current situation, Qin and Yan have been allied, which is definitely unfavorable to Zhao, and the purpose of Qin is nothing more than to want the land of Zhao, why not send five cities to Qin first, in exchange for the favor of Qin, and Yan is weak, Zhao can regain the lost land from Yan with strong troops and horses." ”
Zhao mourns the stills of King Xiang.
When the humble King Zhao Mourning Xiang heard it, this suggestion was good, so he immediately gave five cities to Qin State, and then turned around and used troops against Yan State, and took more than 30 cities in Shanggu County in one fell swoop.
That's it, invisibly,Zhao Guo became the "working boy" of Qin State, sent troops and money, and worked hard to fight the land of Yan State, but the land he stole was not hot on himself, and he was coerced and lured away by Qin State, bleeding and sweating, and in the end he made wedding clothes for Qin State!
From the perspective of the Qin State, he got sixteen cities without sending a single soldier, and Ganluo made great contributions. After Ganluo returned to China, Yingzheng, who was also a teenager, had a good impression of this young man who was about the same age as himself, so he made him Shangqing and rewarded him with a lot of money.
This is the story of Ganluo's twelve-year-old worship of the prime minister, it can be seen that he, the prime minister, deserves no water, and at a young age, he has such knowledge and courage, and he is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people!

However, we don't know what the stories of Ganluo will be after that, because there is no record in the history books. Maybe Ganluo offended the minister of the court and was killed before he reached adulthood, or maybe Ganluo died of a long life without doing anything, it depends on whether relevant historical materials can be unearthed in the future.
