The connection between the three stories: "The Meeting of Mianchi" is the development of "Returning the Perfect Bi to Zhao", "Returning the Perfect Bi to Zhao" and "The Meeting of Mianchi" are the origins of "Returning the Perfect Bi to Zhao" and "Returning the Perfect Bi to Zhao" and "The Meeting of Mianchi". The combination of "Hui Hui" and "Bearing for Punishment" formed a complete and tortuous story of "Reconciliation between Generals and Prime Ministers".

The story "The Harmony of Generals and Prime Ministers" promotes: The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great; the harmony of generals and prime ministers will bring peace to the world.

During the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru, a native of the State of Zhao, was ordered to go on an envoy to the State of Qin. He fulfilled his mission and returned the jade to Zhao intact, so he was granted the title of senior official. He also accompanied King Zhao to the Mianchi Meeting organized by King Qin to protect King Zhao from harm. The king of Qin insulted him. In recognition of Lin Xiangru's contribution, King Zhao made Lin Xiangru a minister.

The veteran general Lian Po believed that he was invincible and invincible, while Lin Xiangru was just a weak scholar who only had the power of words but was more powerful than his official. He was very dissatisfied with this, so he repeatedly told people : "If I see him in the future, I will definitely humiliate him."

After learning about this, Lin Xiangru put national affairs first, took sick leave and did not go to court, and tried not to see him. Later, Lian Po learned that Lin Xiangru acted in such a way because of national affairs, and he apologized to Lin Xiangru for shouldering a thorn. After that, the two got together and began to do their best to assist King Zhao in governing the country.

Extended information:

Lin Xiangru was a minister of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen was king, Qin asked Zhao Qiang for "He's Bi". He was ordered to bring the bi to Qin and fight for it in court. , and finally the original jade returned to Zhao. In the 20th year of King Zhao Huiwen's reign, Lin Xiangru followed King Zhao to Mianchi to save King Zhao from humiliation. He was appointed Shangqing due to his meritorious service. He was tolerant and humble towards General Lian Po of the State of Zhao, which made Lian Po feel ashamed and awakened, and they became a life-and-death acquaintance.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin became angry because of the return of the intact jade to Zhao. In the 25th year of King Zhao of Qin, he attacked Zhao on the pretext that Zhao would not attack Qi with him. Acquired two cities including Zhao Zishi (today's Fenyang, Shanxi). The following year, he captured Zhao's Lishi (now Lishi County, Shanxi). In the next year, Bai Qi took Zhao Dai (now Yuxian County, Hebei Province) and Guanglangcheng (now west of Gaoping County, Shanxi Province).

At this time, the Qin army was about to attack Chu in the south. In order to stabilize the situation in the east, in the 28th year of King Zhao of Qin, he made an appointment with King Hui of Zhao to meet and repair in Mianchi (now west of Mianchi County, Henan). It is known as the "Mianchi Meeting" in history. After the meeting in Mianchi, Xiangru appointed him as a minister based on his merits, and he was placed above Lian Po. Lian Po was not convinced, so that he would later plead guilty. After the Mianchi Meeting, the war between Qin and Zhao temporarily stopped. Zhao Jun immediately sent troops to Qi State and captured Gaotang and other places.

The story of Bearing a Jing and Asking for Punishment comes from "Historical Records: Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru", which tells the story of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru that happened in Handan, the capital of Zhao State. The story is also called the Harmony of Generals and Prime Ministers. There is an alley in Chuancheng Street (Handan Road) in Handan City. This is the narrow alley where Lin Xiangru avoided Lian Po. A stone tablet was also erected at the entrance of the alley to record the inscription on the Huiche Alley, which records the story of bearing a thorn and asking for forgiveness.
