Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 131 Ganluo Star Soul
"Brother Lu, the State of Qin has sent envoys to Zhao. It is said that they want to persuade Zhao to surrender."

Lu Wei has learned some Go recently and is fighting fiercely with Ayu, who is also learning chess.When the first third of the chess pieces on the field were filled, Lu Yu reported the recent information on Handan City.

"Is the envoy going to the royal palace or the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Staring at the overall positioning of the chess pieces, the hall leader asked casually.

"The royal palace."

Ayu paused as he spoke: "This envoy from Qin is very special. King Zhao held a banquet in the palace, and Zhao Yi also attended."

He had never been a riddler in front of Lu Wei, so he did not need the hall master to ask questions, so he took the initiative to explain the special features of Qin Envoy:
"The Qin envoy's name is Gan Luo. He is only 12 years old. It is said that his ancestor was once the prime minister of Qin. But now his family has been lonely for decades, and this generation has a child prodigy."

"Let me see, what kind of prodigy is this Gan Luo? He is far worse than Brother Lu!"

Gan Luo?Qin envoy?
Not only is the age of this script wrong, the script itself is a big mistake.
Lu Wei smiled faintly: "When I was 12 years old, I took you guys to live a hard life in the mountains, but I can't compare to this envoy from Qin~"

Historically, Gan Luo did go on a mission to Zhao when he was 12 years old, but what he did was serve as a vanguard for Qin general Zhang Tang to go to Yan as prime minister. As a result, he not only completed the mission, but also only used his words to win Zhao for Qin. More than a dozen cities were worshiped as ministers.

On the timeline, that was when Lu Buwei was still alive.

Now that Lu Buwei has long been destroyed, Gan Luo is actually still 12 years old and has also gone to Zhao as an envoy to persuade the King of Zhao to surrender!

It seems to be a slight misalignment of the gears in the Qin Shi Mingyue timeline.

However, what interests Lu Wei even more is: if I remember correctly, this Gan Luo will soon become the star soul of the Yin Yang family.
"How did Gan Luo behave at the banquet?"

"According to Zhao Yi, Gan Luo spoke sharply and showed no shame in his words. King Zhao almost cooked this man to death."

"It was only after the dissuasion of Prime Minister Guo Kai that King Zhao calmed down his anger."

Ayu answered his brother Lu's question. He saw that Lu Wei was interested in Gan Luo, so he gave some more information:

"Nagan Luo has visited several Dr. Zhao's residences since the banquet, and Zhao Yi is also among those he will visit next."

"The time written on the greeting card is three days later, so the house has been decorated very luxuriously recently. Zhao Yi also invited the best chef and prepared the best ingredients. It seems that he wants to curry favor with this person."

"Brother Lu, Zhao Yi is a little out of control. He seems not optimistic about Zhao's future and is secretly looking for opportunities to join Qin."

Lu Yu is serious about it. He has now gained Zhao Yi's trust, and Zhao Yi has won over him many times.Under Lu Wei's special instructions, Ayu pretended to agree.

"Nothing, just keep an eye on Zhao Yi. As for that Gan Luo~"

"I am somewhat interested in him. In three days, when Zhao Yi's banquet is over, you can bring this person to my place."

"Yes!"

Gan Luo was dressed in a black Qin envoy's uniform, with a crown on his small body. He calmly walked out of the residence of a certain doctor in Zhao Guo. After stepping into the carriage, his expression fell.

The King of Qin only gave himself three months. If he failed to achieve anything within three months and could not return to Qin, his family would be destroyed.
No matter how you calculate the round trip, you have to reserve a month and a half for the journey. Even if you ride a fast horse alone on your way back, it will take at least a month in total.

My time for activities in Handan is extremely limited!

He straightened his crown and supported his chin with both hands. Gan Luo was extremely anxious.He knew that it was impossible to persuade Zhao to surrender with words alone. South Korea could resist for several days, so how could Zhao surrender without a fight?
"First work hard in this direction to let the king know that I am indeed following orders."

"After I have visited all these Zhao doctors and it is really impossible to persuade them to surrender, I will visit Guo Kai again and use his power to persuade King Zhao to cede territory to Qin!"

"If I can help the king occupy Zhao's city without spending a single soldier, the king will also consider forgiving the Gan clan."

Calculate the plan in your mind several times.Gan Luo didn't know whether he could succeed in doing this, but for the sake of the people in prison, he had to go all out!

The Gan family's status has been declining since Gan Mao fled the Qin Dynasty. Their power has been reduced from the bustling traffic in front of the prime minister's palace in the past to the situation where the whole clan is crowded into a small and narrow mansion with few valuables in the house.

In order to revitalize the family, Gan Luo's father sought refuge with Lu Buwei, the former Qin Prime Minister, and held some power for him in the net. The Gan family was slightly revived.

Gan Luo was the son of his father when he was in his 60s. He was the hope of the whole family since he was born.

And he lived up to expectations, being free and gifted. When he was four years old, he met Lu Buwei by chance. His clever response made the Prime Minister, who was still in power at the time, laugh. He accepted Gan Luo as a guest in public and showed it around, saying: ' The four-year-old disciples under my account are no less than seventy-year-old Confucians. '

But within a few months, Lu Buwei fell.
However, Ganluo's situation was not bad a few years before Marquis Wenxin passed away, and his father still had some power in the net:

He is one of the members of the highest decision-making level of Luowang!

Therefore, Gan Luo lived a prosperous life until he was ten years old.In his free time, he likes to watch puppet shows, and even cleverly taught himself how to make and control puppets.

In addition, his knowledge was far superior to that of his peers, and his reputation as a child prodigy spread throughout the Qin Dynasty, even to other countries.

If nothing unexpected happens, if he grows older, Wen will be able to join the Qin court and follow the career of Gan Mao.Wu Neng took advantage of his father's influence to join Luo Sheng and act as a guard for the King of Qin.

But of course, accidents still happen
Luowang's top executives fought for power and secret infighting broke out. In the end, only two winners were left in the entire decision-making team, and the rest were eliminated.

Gan Luo's father is over [-] years old, so his exit is not an accident.
Since then, the Gan clan, which had made a slight improvement, fell back to the bottom again, and was framed by Luo Wang's new leader: the whole clan inexplicably joined an unfounded rebellion and was sentenced to death.

The reason why the new leader of Luo Wen did this is because Gan Luo's father was deeply involved in Luo Wen. Now that Gan's father is dead, if the Gan family members do not get rid of him, many secrets are at risk of being exposed.
For example, Gan Luo learned from his father long ago: Luo Wang was never loyal to Qin, let alone Wenxinhou Lu Buwei!

The net is weaving a new world that belongs only to them.
In order to save the Gan family that was about to be destroyed, 12-year-old Gan Luo resolutely offered to go to Zhao to persuade King Qin to surrender.

He needed an opportunity to show himself. Only in this way, the King of Qin would think that he could stand out and have reason to pardon the fabricated family death penalty.

"It's not difficult to show off your talents, but if I'm not wrong, the killer sent by Luo Wang to silence him must have entered Zhao Di at this moment."

Since his family was convicted, Gan Luo, whose brain has been overloaded all the time, has a trance in his eyes: he not only wants to use Guo Kai to obtain the territory ceded by Zhao State.You also need to avoid the snare killer and return home safely.
"What is that boy from Qin doing these days?"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Guo Kai's expression was no longer as calm as before. He was a little uneasy: the envoy from Qin had never come to him since he entered the capital of Zhao. Even at the last banquet, when he rescued him, Gan Luo even Without even looking at him.
This is not a good sign. Doesn't Qin just want Zhao's court to betray the country? It can come to him!As long as you are willing to spend money, you can sell it however you want!
Could it be that Qin is not happy with me?
Guo Kai, who has always been greedy for money, for the first time did not think about other people's values, but instead considered his own values.

"Messenger Gan Luo visited many doctor's residences. According to the greetings he sent, he wants to visit all the doctors in the capital."

The confidants were full of respect for the young Gan Luo, even behind his back, because Gan Luo was the envoy of the State of Qin.

They were far away in the Kingdom of Zhao and didn't know what was going on in Gan Luo's family. They only thought that Gan Luo had been entrusted with a big job by the King of Qin at a young age and that he would definitely become a marquis and become prime minister in the future.Gan Luo's performance at the palace banquet seemed to illustrate this point: Shaohua is talented and can be the leader of the Qin Kingdom. His future is certainly unlimited!
"You still haven't sent me a greeting card?"

Guo Kai stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the door and looked at the sky.

"Not yet. Do you want to take the initiative to send a follower to send an invitation to Messenger Ganluo?"

"Who was the last person he visited?"

"Zhao Yi."

"Then let Zhao Yi vaguely remind him: In Zhao State, no one can help him without my permission!"

"Yes!"

------

"Xiao Pingyuan Jun Zhao Yi?"

Checking the information in the bamboo slips in his hand, Gan Luo carefully made his own judgment on the vague information on it.

During his trip, except for the name of the King of Qin and the standard carriage for envoys, he had no support from money or people.

Therefore, it’s not that he doesn’t want to visit Guo Kai, but that he has no way to visit Guo Kai
Gan Luo could only raise the flag of the 'Qin State' very high, so as to achieve the maximum gain with the minimum cost.

This was the personal ability that King Qin wanted to see.
All the information in the embassy was written down by Gan Luo after talking with various doctors.

This information may be true or false, false or true. He must be careful about what he should believe and what changes he should make using this information.

"When I was young, I had no ambitions. When I became an adult, I only ruined my family property. In recent years, I suddenly changed my past?"

Gan Luo looked for flaws bit by bit in the words:

"After repenting of his past mistakes and awakening, he suddenly decided to expand his subordinate music and dance studio Tantai to the six countries of Shandong, and achieved good results, gaining more than a thousand followers?"

"You also took the initiative to seek refuge with Guo Kai and gained the appreciation of King Zhao?"

“This information is too general!”

Gan Luo's head hurt again. He held a pen in one hand and rubbed his temples with the other:
"You can look old at three years old. If he was a complete playboy when he was young, what can make Zhao Yi change when he matures is either to meet a life-changing event or meet a noble person to appreciate him."

"I don't understand the affairs of Zhao State at all. I can only understand Zhao Yi's humanity after face-to-face communication."

Putting down the penholder, Gan Luo stood up and picked up the puppet he made from scrap materials, and started playing with it casually:

Only when he is operating a puppet show can he find inner peace.

The little puppet was manipulated by him at will, and he could not resist at all. This feeling of being in charge of everything made him obsessed.
It is precisely because of this that Gan Luo determined to learn from his grandfather Gan Mao since he was a child, and was willing to become the prime minister of a great country and control the people of the world.

For this reason, before he set off to Zhao, he rejected the invitation from the Yin Yang family's great commander, the legendary Emperor of the Middle East.

The Yin Yang family has weird methods, including the ability to control people's minds like puppets, but in the end they can only control one person, or ten people.

Gan Luo wanted more than just this little bit of vanity:

Taking the world as your tactic is the best puppet show!

There was a terrifying expression on the face of the innocent 12-year-old boy.
"Young Master Yi, I've been waiting for a long time."

After getting off the carriage, although little Ganluo's words were polite, his head was raised proudly, showing an extremely arrogant appearance.

"Where is it? Envoy willing, please come in~"

With just one movement from Zhao Yi, Gan Luo could tell from his eyes that this person did not seem to be a person with outstanding abilities, but the specific details needed to be carefully observed at the banquet.

However, his steward looked at Zhao Yi with no respect.
After writing down this piece of information, Gan Luo quietly stepped into the house.

The banquet started at dusk and ended at the end of Xu Shi. After several hours of conversation, Gan Luo had a thorough understanding of Zhao Yi. He believed that this person was not a fool, but he was definitely not a talented person who could win the support of thousands of customers!

Those diners seemed to think more highly of the steward~

“Has this guy been sidelined?”

Rejecting Zhao Yi's offer to see him off, Gan Luo raised his eyes to look at the moon and eliminated his doubts bit by bit.

Just as he was about to board the carriage and go back, a voice suddenly stopped him:
"Messenger Gan Luo, my boss wants to see you."

Turning around, he saw that it was the butler who seemed to be trying to trick Zhao Yi.

"Didn't I just say goodbye to your boss at the banquet?"

With a faint smile, Gan Luo showed some respect for this person: "Why do you want to see him again?"

"Zhao Yi is not worthy of being my master!" Lu Yu followed his brother Lu's instructions and read the words carefully: "My master is someone else."

"Who?"

"If the envoy is interested, you can come with me."

After that, Lu Yu ignored Mr. Qin Envoy and turned around to leave.

Gan Luo rolled his eyes, stopped getting on the carriage, jumped back to the surface, and followed him:

The power behind Zhao Yi has plans in at least the six countries!

　I have completely changed the plot of Gan Luo based on the official comic "The Silk Puppet". The original plot is really confusing, and there are big problems with the timeline and logic.My logic is also general, and I only incorporate the timeline of the second setting here to make it as suitable as possible for my plot here.
