The first wise man in the Three Kingdoms era, publicly recommended Zhuge Liang.But to be fair and objective, Zhuge Liang is at most ranked second or third in the Three Kingdoms Wisdom Rankings, and there is someone else who ranks first. Who is this person? It is said that in the Xiangping area of ​​Liaodong, there is a gate of a wealthy family, whose surname is Gongsun.The local prefect is called Gongsunyu, and Gongsunyu has a son named Gongsunbao.That Gongsunbao was clever and enlightened in his youth, making Gongsunyu love him like a treasure.Unexpectedly, when the little Gongsunbao was 18 years old, he suddenly got a strange disease and died.

At that time, Gongsunyu was very sad, howling and crying, crying to death and then coming back to life, and he reluctantly buried his son for many days.But on the way to the burial, Gongsun Yu suddenly heard someone calling his son's name: "Gongsun Bao, Gongsun Bao, where are you going..." Gongsun Yu turned his head and was surprised to see his dead son, dressed in cloth clothes, Squeezing into the crowd to watch his own funeral. At that time, Gongsun Yu screamed, rushed over, and grabbed his son: "Boy, are you really alive?" Little Gongsunbao struggled desperately and shouted: "I'm not your son, let me go, let me go."

Gongsun Yu asked in surprise: "Not my son? How is this possible? Let me ask you, is your name Gongsun Bao?" The child replied: "Yes, my name is Gongsun Bao." Gongsun Yu laughed: "Let me ask you again, are you 18 years old this year?" The child said: "Yes, I am 18 years old..." Gongsun Yu laughed loudly: "Boy, you are being naughty with your father again. Your name is Gongsun Bao. You are 18 years old. How could you not be my son? Son, stop making trouble and go home with Dad..." At this time, passers-by hurried forward to help: "Master Taishou, Lord Taishou, this child has the same name and surname as your son, and he is indeed 18 years old, but he is really not your son. This child...he has another father, his father It's called Gongsun Yan."

The prefect Gongsunyu said: "Come on, you can't fool me, this is my son..." Without any explanation, he twisted the boy and dragged him back home. When he got home, Gongsun Yu said to the young man, "Son, I know you are not my son, but you are forced to recognize you as a son. You must be unhappy. But please understand my feelings as a father. My son and you Same name, same surname, same age, but died young... you just recognize me as a father, it can be regarded as comforting the grief of an old man who lost his son, okay?" The young man said: "You are the prefect. I don't know how many people outside. They dream of being your son. If you become your son, you will be the second generation of officials. But I really can't do it. My family is a scholarly family. I want to be your son." Being an official is also what I desire most. But no matter what, I must obtain my father's consent for this matter, so let me go home and report to my father, okay?"

The prefect said: "That's fine, anyway, if you run away, I can chase you back." After the boy went back, he came back a few days later and said to the prefect, "Master prefect, my father said that it is not impossible to recognize you as my father, but I have to change my name." The prefect: "Change your name? I understand. Are you a cunning father? He let his son take advantage of my advantage, but the son is still his in the end... Forget it, just change your name. Your father told you to change it." what name?" The boy said: "My father asked me to change my name to Gongsun Du."

Gongsun Du, the most intelligent person in the Three Kingdoms era, was born here.
