The story of Lin Xiangru's return to Zhao has always been admired by us, but do you know that it is a Linfen person? As a Shanxi person, I am really proud, we not only have the famous general Huo Qiyi, Wei Qing, but also Lin Xiangru. He was the secretary of the Zhao state during the Warring States period, a famous politician and diplomat.
Lin Xiangru was a hero of the Zhao Kingdom, and as a minister, in order to be able to save Heshi Bi, he calmly walked between life and death, and his courage and courage were admired by people. Lin Xiangru has been one of the excellent representatives of Nengchen for thousands of years, and his ability to be promoted from a doorman to a shangqing within three years is enough to prove his ability and outstanding ability.
Lin Xiangru is a brave and resourceful warrior, he was born poor, in a society that attaches great importance to birth, Lin Xiangru cannot have the opportunity to emerge, but as soon as the horn of this era is blown, Lin Xiangru appears on the stage of history as if answering the call.
Lin Xiangru was able to appear in front of King Huiwen of Zhao, thanks to Miao Xian's recommendation. All this must start from the piece of "Heshi Bi", the State of Qin heard that the State of Zhao had obtained the Heshi Bi of the State of Chu, and also wrote to the State of Zhao, saying that the State of Qin was willing to exchange fifteen cities for this piece of jade, and the Emperor of the State of Zhao consulted from top to bottom, and gave the State of Qin that he might not cede the city pool, and he was not afraid of the Qin army attacking. At this time, Miao Xian boldly made a statement, suggesting that King Zhao Huiwen let his protégé Lin Xiangru try, and with the attitude of trying it out, King Zhao Huiwen received Lin Xiangru above the court.
When King Zhao saw Lin Xiangru, he asked him how to deal with the matter of Heshi Bi. Lin Xiangru then analyzed to the King of Zhao, and if the King of Zhao gave heshibi to the state of Qin, and the state of Qin did not cede the city to the state of Zhao, the state of Qin was morally untrustworthy, and the state of Zhao did not give the state of Qin and the family bi, it was also untrustworthy, in the end which one is more reasonable, naturally it is self-evident. Weigh the two countermeasures, it is better to agree to it and let the Qin state bear the responsibility for the loss. Therefore, King Zhao tentatively asked who could take on the heavy responsibility of sending an envoy to the Qin State, and Lin Xiangru volunteered to take Heshi Bi with him to the Qin State.
When they arrived in the Qin Kingdom, the King of Qin was very happy to see Lin Xiangru arrive with Heshi Bi. Lin Xiangru offered Heshi Bi and passed this piece of precious jade to everyone, and the King of Qin was very happy, but there was no intention of ceding the city between the words. Lin Xiangru took the opportunity to say to King Qin Zhao, "There is a flaw in this piece of jade, please let me show it to you." Therefore, the King of Qin handed over the Heshi Bi to Lin Xiangru, and after Lin Xiangru got the Heshi Bi, he quickly stepped back and angrily said, "What is flawed is not the jade, but the integrity of the Great King!" If the king were to force me to hand over the jade, I would be buried here with him and Shi Bi. When the King of Qin heard this, he did not dare to neglect Lin Xiangru, and asked Lin Xiangru to mention the conditions, and Lin Xiangru said: "In order to send Heshi Bi to this place, the King of Zhao fasted for five days, and according to the understanding, you should also fast for five days." Nine guests of honor were set up at the imperial court, so that I could willingly offer the treasure jade to the king in the future. “
The King of Qin did not dare to disobey Lin Xiangru's words, so he really did what he said. In the past five days, Lin Xiangru was received with solemn etiquette, just as he confessed when he saw the King of Qin: "None of the more than twenty monarchs of the Qin Kingdom since Mu Gong have been able to keep the covenant, and I am afraid that I will be deceived by the Qin State and fail the Zhao State, so I asked someone to send the jade back first." If the King of Qin sincerely wants to exchange with the State of Zhao, then the King of Qin please cede twenty cities first, and the State of Zhao will definitely send someone to send the jade, Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, and the State of Zhao will not deceive the King of Qin. As if he knew that he had committed the crime of deceiving the king, he asked the King of Qin to punish him. After Lin Xiangru said these words, the group of ministers were shocked, and the King of Qin felt that he was toyed with by Zhao Guo and wanted to execute Lin Xiangru, but he could not hurt the harmony between the two countries for a single piece of jade. Therefore, the King of Qin also let Lin Xiangru go, so that Lin Xiangru returned to the Zhao Kingdom safely.
Lin Xiangru was willing to risk his life to serve the country and see his loyalty and courage, while the King of Qin, although deceived by Lin Xiangru, was able to treat Lin Xiangru with courtesy in consideration of the overall situation, showing the arrogance of a great monarch.
