Story content

In 283 BC, the Xiang-pai emissary of the State of Qin went to see Huiwen with credentials, saying that the king of Qin was willing to give up fifteen cities in exchange for a precious piece of "harmonious jade" collected by the State of Zhao, hoping that the king of Zhao would agree.

Zhao Haoqi will discuss with ministers whether to agree. I wanted to promise, but I was afraid of being taken in by Qin. If you lose Cui, you won't get the city. If you don't promise, you are afraid to offend Qin. After talking for a long time, I still can't decide what to do.

At that time, Lin Xiangru was recommended as a very knowledgeable person.

Zhao Haoqi Huiwen called Lin Xiangru and asked him for an idea.

Lin Xiangru said: "Qin Guoqiang and Zhao Guo are weak, so we can't do it without agreeing."

King Zhao Huiwen said, "Did the State of Qin seize the jade and not give it to the city?"

Lin Xiangru said, "The State of Qin exchanged fifteen cities for a piece of jade, which is high enough. If Zhao refuses, it's Zhao's fault. The King of Qi sent Choi and Choi, and if Qin doesn't hand over the city, it's Qin's fault. I would rather promise to let Qin bear this mistake. "

King Zhao Huiwen said, "Then please go to the State of Qin. But what if Qin doesn't keep his word? "

Lin Xiangru said: "When Qin handed over to the city, I left He Shibi in Qin; Otherwise, I will definitely bring Bi back to Zhao in good condition. " (the original text is "returned to Zhao intact". )

Lin Xiangru took Cui to Xianyang. Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, proudly received him in another palace. Lin Xiangru and choi, offered up.

Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, took the wall and looked at it. He was very happy. He handed the wall to the beautiful woman and the courtiers, so that everyone could pass it on. Ministers all congratulated Zhao Xiang, king of Qin.

Lin Xiangru stood in the court waiting for ages, but he didn't see the king of Qin changing cities. He knew that Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, didn't really regard the city as a wall. But this jade has fallen into someone else's hands. How can I get it back?

He used his quick wits to come forward and said to the king of Qin, "Although this treasure is very valuable, it has some minor defects, so it is not easy to see. Let me show it to your majesty. "

The king of Qin believed it, so he ordered his attendants to hand him Cui and Lin Xiangru.

As soon as Lin Xiangru got the treasure, he took a step back, leaned against a big pillar in the palace, glared at him and said angrily, "Your Majesty sent an envoy to Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for Zhao's treasure. Zhao Wang sincerely sent me to see him off. However, the king did not exchange sincerity. Now I have jade. If the king forces me, I'd rather hit my head on this pillar with this wall! "

Said, and he really picked up and choi, to hit the post.

Zhao Haoqi of Qin was afraid that he really broke the jade, so he quickly apologized to him and said, "Don't get me wrong, sir. Where can I say it doesn't count?"

He ordered the minister to take the map and show it to Lin Xiangru in exchange for the fifteen cities of Zhao.

Lin Xiangru thought, don't be fooled by him. He said, "Before the Prince of Zhao sent him to the State of Qin, he fasted for five days and held a grand ceremony in the imperial court. If the king sincerely changes jade, he will fast for five days and then hold a ceremony to collect jade before I dare to offer it. "

Zhao Haoqi of Qin thought, you can't run away anyway, so he said, "OK, let's do it."

He ordered that Lin Xiangru be sent to a hotel to rest.

Lin Xiangru returned to the hotel, asked a waiter to dress up as a businessman, hid the jade close to his body, and sneaked back to Zhao from the path.

Five days later, the state of Qin called ministers and envoys of various countries to hold a ceremony in Xianyang to accept Cui in this court, which is called the Lin Xiangru court. Lin Xiangru walked unhurriedly to the temple and saluted Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin.

King Xiang of Qin said, "I have fasted for five days. Now take out the jade. "

Lin Xiangru said: "Since Qin Mugong, there have been more than 20 monarchs in the State of Qin, and none of them is a loyal minister. Afraid of being cheated, I lost the jade I was sorry for Zhao Wang, so I returned my jade to Zhao. Please ask the king to deal with my sins. "

Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, was very angry when he heard this. Say, "Did you lie to me or did I lie to you?"

Lin Xiangru said calmly, "Please don't be angry and let me finish. All the governors in the world know that Qin is a strong country and Zhao is a weak country. In the world, only strong countries bully weak countries, and there is no reason why weak countries bully strong countries. If the king really wants the Great Wall, please cede 15 cities to Zhao, and then send messengers to Zhao with me to get the Great Wall.

After Zhao won fifteen cities, he never dared to give up. "

After listening to Lin Xiangru's eloquence, it's hard to turn against Qin. He had to say: "A piece of jade is a piece of jade, and it should not hurt the harmony between the two families for this matter."

As a result, Lin Xiangru was sent back to Zhao.

Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao, and King Huiwen of Zhao thought that he had fulfilled his mission, so he was promoted to be a doctor. The item of Qin did not mean to exchange fifteen cities for Choi, but wanted to test Zhao's attitude and strength through this matter. After Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao intact, he did not submit any changes.
