Fortunately, at this time, King Wen took the throne, and the letter general suspiciously cut open the jade that Bian He found, and it turned out that this was a rare treasure, and this piece of jade was the later world-famous Heshi Bi.
Because Heshi Bi was too exquisite, it soon attracted the covetousness of monarchs from all over the world, and King Qin Zhao was even willing to exchange 15 cities for Heshi Bi, and later there were stories of "returning to Zhao after finishing Bibi" and "bearing the sin of Jing", which shows the authenticity of the existence of Heshi Bi and its rarity.
