During the Warring States Period, the King of Zhao got a precious treasure-"He Shibi". When the king of Qin knew about this, he sent an envoy to see the king of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for "Choi-i".
Wang Zhao read the letter and thought: The King of Qin has always been a man who only wants to take advantage and refuses to suffer. Why are you so generous this time? If you don't agree to his request, you are afraid of the Qin attack; When you say yes, you are afraid of being cheated. He thought and thought, and when he couldn't make up his mind, he discussed it with the ministers, but they couldn't think of any good way.
When Lin Xiangru knew this, he said to the prince of Zhao, "Your Majesty, let me take' Heshibi' to see the king of Qin. I'll play it by ear when I get there. If the king of Qin refuses to exchange fifteen cities, I will definitely bring back' Heshibi' intact. " Knowing that Lin Xiangru was a brave and witty man, the prince of Zhao agreed to go.
When Lin Xiangru arrived in Qin, the king of Qin greeted him in the palace. Lin Xiangru dedicated his "Harmony" to the King of Qin. The king of Qin took it and looked left and right. He likes it very much. After reading it, he handed it to the ministers one by one and then to the concubines in the harem.
Lin Xiangru stood there alone, waiting for a long time, but he didn't see the king of Qin ceding fifteen cities. He knew that the king of Qin did not exchange fifteen cities for Baoyu's sincerity. But Baoyu has been in the hands of the king of Qin. How can I get it back? He thought about it and came up with a plan. Lin Xiangru went up to the king of Qin and said, "Although this piece of' Heshibi' looks good, it has some flaws. Let me show it to the king. " When the King of Qin heard that there was a flaw in The Jade of Harmony, he quickly had Baoyu brought from the harem to Lin Xiangru and asked him to point it out.
Lin Xiangru took a few steps back with the "Harmony Jade", leaned against the pillar and said angrily to the king of Qin: "At the beginning, this king sent a letter to the king of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for Zhao's" Harmony Jade ". Minister Zhao said, don't believe Qin's lies. I don't think so. I said that the people still speak faith, not to mention the king of Qin! The prince of Zhao took my advice, and this just sent me to send' and choi'. Unexpectedly, just now the king took Baoyu and gave it to the people below, but he didn't mention the change of the fifteen cities. From this point of view, the king really has no sincerity to exchange the city for the wall. Now that Baoyu is in my hand, if your majesty insists on persecuting me, I would rather hit me on the head with this Baoyu on this pillar! " Lin Xiangru said, and raised the "and choi", to the post, will fall in the past.
The king of Qin wanted the samurai to rob him, but he was afraid that Lin Xiangru really smashed Baoyu. He quickly apologized to Lin Xiangru and said, "Don't worry, doctor, my words don't count!" He asked someone to bring the map and pretended to point to it and said, "From here to there, there are fifteen cities, all of which are allocated to Zhao." Lin Xiangru thought, the king of Qin often plays tricks, don't be fooled by him again! He said to the king of Qin: "This piece of' Heshibi' is a world-famous treasure. When the King of Zhao sent him to the State of Qin, he fasted for five days and held a grand ceremony to introduce Baoyu in the court. Now the king will take this treasure jade and fast for five days, and hold a ceremony in the court to take it so that I can present it. " The king of Qin didn't want to do this, but seeing Lin Xiangru's resolute attitude, he said helplessly, "Good! Just do it! " Say that finish, he sent someone to send Lin Xiangru to the hotel to rest.
Lin Xiangru took Baoyu's piece and went to the mansion. He asked a man to dress up as a businessman, wrapped Baoyu in his body and secretly ran back to Zhao through the alley. As for what the king of Qin would do to him, he didn't even consider it.
Later, the king of Qin found out about it, and it was too late to regret it. If you want to send troops to attack Zhao, Zhao is prepared for military affairs, and I'm afraid you can't win. Finally, the king of Qin saw that Lin Xiangru was resourceful and brave, a rare talent, and did not embarrass him, so he was sent back to Zhao. [2]
This matter is known as "returning to Zhao in perfect condition".
