Gan Luo was a native of Chu at the end of the Warring States Period, and his grandfather Gan Mao served as the prime minister of Qin for many years. Grandfather Gan Mao was later ostracized by the State of Qin and forced to flee to the State of Wei, where he later died.

/kloc-at the age of 0/2, Ganluo defected to Lv Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, and was named the son of the young king. Because of his meritorious service in Zhao, he was worshipped by Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, as Shangqing, which was equivalent to the position of prime minister. However, there is no record of the special performance of Ganluo in the later period, and the final outcome is still inconclusive.

0 1. Ganluo, known as a child prodigy, was born in a very noble family. Although his grandfather fled to Wei by the prime minister of Qin, his family background and his intelligence made him known as a child prodigy.

Ganluo was gifted, brilliant, witty and eloquent since he was a child. Although he is very young, he is famous all over the world. When Gan Luo 12 years old, he became the retainer of Lv Buwei, the prime minister of Qin State, and was named the youngest son.

02. The ambassador to Zhao is highly valued by Ying Zheng. After Wang Xiaocheng's death, Zhao Mouxiang's Wang Zhaoyan succeeded to the throne, and the relationship between Yan and Zhao was tense. Qin thought it was a good time to attack Zhao, so he wanted to contact Yan to jointly attack Zhao.

Qin and Yan finally reached a friendly agreement, and the prince sent Taizi Dan to Qin as a hostage. Qin intends to send minister Zhang Tang to Yan as prime minister. However, because Zhang Tang had offended the Prince of Zhao, Yan had to go through Zhao, so he refused to take office on this ground.

Lv Buwei can't force him to go. At this time, Ganluo volunteered to lobby and succeeded in one fell swoop. He also decided to go to Zhao himself to get through the relationship for Zhang Tang. When he arrived in Zhao State, Gan Luo succeeded in persuading the king of Zhao to delimit five cities with his intelligence and eloquence, so as to expand the territory of Qin State in Hejian.

Ganluo defected to Zhao and returned to Qin. Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, was overjoyed. He named Ganluo Shangqing, equivalent to the prime minister, and gave Ganluo the fields and houses of the former left prime minister Gan Mao, which made Ganluo a legend of worshipping at the age of twelve.

03. Gan Luo's later deeds are not recorded in the history books. Although Gan Luo is young, he is full of wisdom and resourcefulness, and he is an excellent counselor. /kloc-when I was 0/2 years old, I was a little encouraged to worship Buddha, which led to no extraordinary achievements later. This is all Lv Buwei's fault.

In addition to the record of Zhao Guoli's meritorious deeds being named Shangqing, only his tomb is known to future generations in Ganluo. Ganluo Tomb is located on the north bank of Yingshang River, 25 kilometers east of Yingshang County, Anhui Province, and is one of the "Eight Scenes of Yingshang". He Yong, the magistrate of Yingshang County in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, Chen Yi, the governor of Anhui Province in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, and the chief officer of Yingshang County in the Republic of China successively erected monuments for him.

04. Conclusion People only know the legend of Ganluo 12 years old, but ignore that if he didn't worship at the age of 12 years old, Ganluo might grow up to be a very good counselor, and he wouldn't be a flash in the pan in history, leaving a legend of "prodigy" and never heard from him again. Perhaps it was Lv Buwei and Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, who egged Gan Luo on, so that the ending of his life was not recorded in the history books. (Image from the network, delete. )
