【Story】 Bear the sin of thorns

In the Warring States period, Zhao Guo's Lin Xiangru, with his own wit and courage, achieved the historical task of "returning to Zhao completely". Later, because of his meritorious service in protecting the king, king Zhao gave him a very high reward, and Feng Lin xiang was like a shangqing, equivalent to a prime minister, becoming the highest official among the courtiers.

At that time, Lian Po was a famous general of the Zhao Kingdom, and his military achievements were outstanding, and he was very unconvinced that lin Xiangru was even higher than him. So he said to his friends, "I have great merits on the battlefield, and Lin Xiangru is only a matter of words, so why is his official position higher than mine?" I don't want to be under him, and if I see Lin Xiangxiang, I have to humiliate him." Lin Xiangru heard the news that Lian Po was not satisfied with him, so he tried to avoid it and refused to meet lian Po. When he was in the dynasty, if Lian Po came, Lin Xiangru pretended to take sick leave.

Once, Lin Xiangru was riding on the street, and when he saw Lian Po coming from a distance, he immediately ordered the coachman to drive the carriage into another street and hide. When Lin Xiangru's entourage saw this situation, their hearts were greatly dissatisfied, so they said to Lin Xiangru, "We follow you because we admire your bravery. Now your status is the same as Lianpo, but you are so afraid of Lianpo, when you see Lianpo, you have to hide, even ordinary people, do this will feel faceless, not to mention you as the prime minister! We're really embarrassed, we feel so ashamed, we don't want to follow you anymore!"

Lin Xiangru replied in a cheerful and firm tone, "With the great power of the King of Qin, I Dare to accuse him in the palace, and I did not take the courtiers of the Qin State into account." How could I be afraid of General Lian alone? I just thought about why the powerful Qin State did not dare to invade the Zhao State recently, it was because it was because of the fear of General Lian and me. If I fight with General Lian and cause both sides to lose, this is exactly what the Qin State cannot ask for. I want to avoid General Lian not because I am afraid of General Lian, but because I am afraid that if I clash with General Lian and it is not good for the country, I think everything must be first put on the state, and private grievances should be slowly resolved later!" 」

Lin Xiangru's words quickly reached Lian Po's ears, and Lian Po was deeply moved, and immediately ran to Lin Xiangru's home, flesh and thorns, and asked Lin Xiangru for his sins.

The generals of these two Zhao kingdoms have since become friends of life and death, which is the blessing of Zhao Guo. At the same time, the honest "knowing that the faults can be changed" and "bearing the guilt of the thorns", not hiding their own faults, have also become a good story in history.
