Chapter 65 The second section returns to Zhao Buyi's special envoy

After reading the letter of credence of the special envoy of Qin, King Zhao Huiwen was suddenly overwhelmed by clouds and mountains. "I've heard that the King of Qin is upright and dislikes extravagance. Why does he like a beautiful jade so much?" "Everyone has their own idiosyncrasies, so how can we reason about them based on emotion." The special envoy Wang Ji cupped his hands and said with a smile, "However, the Queen Mother Xuan likes beautiful jade and is from Chu, King Zhao should know. When the Queen Mother was buried, King Qin searched everywhere The jade treasure was buried with the mother and could not be obtained. Now that King Zhao has obtained the most precious jade from Chu, King Qin wants to use it to fulfill his filial piety. It is unknown."

"For one's own filial piety, you can exchange fifteen cities. The King of Qin is really generous." Zhao He laughed teasingly. Wang Ji was not without ridicule: "If Zhao Wang can give He Shibi to Qin Wang free of charge, it will be a first-class good thing." King Zhao Huiwen was a little displeased: "Heshibi is the national treasure of Zhao. The special envoy is waiting at the post house until the king and the ministers make a decision." Wang Ji said it was natural and left. Back in the study, King Zhao Huiwen was still puzzled. What kind of plot did King Qin Yingji have to make a big fuss about Heshibi?Burying with a filial mother, bullshit!Who in the world does not know that the laws of the Qin State are strict, and there has always been a great law that "the king cannot cut off a city or a land unless the whole country discusses it"?Exchanging fifteen cities for Heshibi is absurd even if it is not a land cession. How could it pass those important officials and generals of the Qin State?In the Warring States period, the connotation of national wealth is only three real things - land, people and various practical goods.In addition, jewelry, famous utensils or even coins are dispensable.Two hundred years into the Warring States period, there was only one King Huihui of Wei who was a real jeweler. He liked to collect all kinds of precious jewels and rare gold objects. He regarded such things as "national treasures". After one pass, he has since become the laughing stock of the world.Even so, at that time, the State of Yue wanted to exchange a thousand-year-old sea pearl for the six cities in the south of the State of Wei, which was also flatly rejected by King Hui of Wei.King Hui Hui of Wei replied viciously to the special envoy of the Yue State that if the king has six cities, he can get 30,000 cavalry!30,000 cavalry ride across the world, He Bao can't get it!King Wei Hui, who said good or bad, was like this, how could the simple and sharp King Qin Zhao do such absurd things?If it was a real exchange, Zhao He would definitely not hesitate. No matter how valuable a piece of jade is, it is just a piece of ornament for the nobles to enjoy. They cannot eat or drink, and they cannot form an army to strengthen the country. How can it be worth fifteen cities?

In this way, the state of Qin must have started with the exchange of treasures and has other plans. Where is the plan?Just after Qin was defeated, Zhao's most elite frontier cavalry suffered unprecedented heavy losses.After the two battles, Qin and Zhao each won one game, and it was almost a tie.Zhao She, Lian Po, a group of generals, and Ping Yuanjun, a group of important ministers, all advocated that they should not rush to seek revenge, but must hold their ground against Qin for a long time, and seek the most suitable time for a decisive battle.When the two wolves and tigers were afraid, Qin Guo seized Hanoi of Wei State and Nanjun of Chu State, and then violently suppressed the six kingdoms of Shandong, but suddenly put down his posture and walked away from Zhao State to deal with the state, and took the lead. It is an unimaginable exchange of the city for treasure, which is really unpredictable.

"Prepare the car, and the horse serves the emperor's house." King Zhao Huiwen decided to listen to what Zhao She had to say first. In the battle between Yan and blood, Zhao She was wounded in more than 20 places. Although he was cured after careful treatment by the imperial physician, he was very weak after all, and he lived in seclusion in ordinary times.King Huiwen respected this famous general who turned the tide and established the prestige of the Zhao State. Fearing that he would be lonely at home, he asked Zhao She to ennoble the king and take over the Guowei's mansion to plan Zhao's military affairs.Guo Wei Xu Li, Zhao She was originally a sergeant, and he admired Ma Fujun and the leader of the Guowei Mansion, but he came to Ma Fujun's mansion to conspire with him if he had military and political plans, and Zhao She's spirit gradually improved.

King Huiwen knew that Zhao She purposely built a study by the pool in the courtyard of the back garden, where he usually recuperates his wounds and entertains guests, so instead of going through the main entrance, he went straight through the side door, and smelled a faint scent of herbs before passing the screen wall Come.Going around the screen wall and passing through a bamboo forest, you arrive at the back of the four-bay study.Suddenly, there was a burst of chanting, and through the swaying bamboo, King Huiwen saw a dark and strong young man in red clothes standing upright by the pool and chanting loudly.After hearing a few words, it was "Sun Bin's Art of War".Oh yes!King Huiwen's heart moved, he had heard that Mr. Ma Fu had a son with extraordinary talent, could this be it?Seeing this, Mr. Ma Fu is in the corridor of the study.Don't worry, let's see what homework this father and son have done.King Huiwen waved to the servant behind him, and then stood by the bamboo forest without moving.

After a while, the young man stopped reciting, and said in a high voice: "Zhao Kuo has memorized the Thirteen Books of War, but what did father say?" "Talent memorization is really good." Zhao She's indifferent voice suddenly changed, "Zhao Kuo, you have memorized the thirteen books of war by heart, and you are still making comments and annotations on these books of war. Let me ask you, the authors of the books of war are all well-known Famous generals who have gone through hundreds of battles, the words of military books are all from actual combat. You have never been on the battlefield, let alone lead the army in combat, but what is the basis for making so many criticisms?" He heard the parchment rattle Flipping through it, it was obvious that Zhao She was comparing it with the book of war, frowning at the comments above.

"Father is bad!" the young Zhao Kuo retorted loudly with a blushing face, "The author of military books may not have experienced hundreds of battles. The most Wu Qi has only seventy-six battles in his life. The least Sun Bin has only two battles in his life. The second is like Taigong, who has only one battle in his life. In the Three Wars, before the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, he was just a leisurely old man who had never had the experience of commanding troops in battle. From this point of view, one can become a famous general after a long history of battles, and one can also become a famous general by studying military science intensively. The former is like a father like Lian Po, The latter is like Taigong, like Sun Wu, like Sun Bin. Although Zhao Kuo did not join the army, he has read all the military books in the world and joined each other in schools. He can see its fallacies, so why can’t he comment? My father doesn’t say whether the comments are appropriate, but only comments Wouldn't it be absurd to kill him with one word!"

"Hey! You have a good reason to say it." Zhao She flipped through the parchment, "Your comment on "Wu Zi" is unreasonable. "Wu Zi·On Generals" says, 'Ordinary people always look at courage when they talk about generals. To be brave to a general is only a fraction of an ear. A brave man must lightly join, and lightly join without knowing the benefits, that’s okay.” "This decision is absurd, and it is not a military strategist's theory of seeking truth!" The young man recited, "Without courage, you cannot become a general. How can it be only a fraction of an ear? The courage of a general lies in the heart, not in strength. It lies in the courage of decision, not in the battle. Fighting in battle. Wu Qi's mistake was that he mistook the general for the bravery of fighting!"

"The style of debate in the academy has nothing to do with reality." Zhao She was obviously speaking with a straight face. "Father is bad!" the young Zhao Kuo immediately denied, "In terms of the bravery of fighting between Yan and blood, my father is not as good as Lian Po, nor is he as good as Le Cheng. However, Lian Po and Le Cheng all said that he could not fight. And there is a famous saying that the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road? After all, my father is brave and courageous, and he has the merits of a famous general! It is said that Lian Po used his courage to tell the princes, but it is actually absurd! How dare you talk about courage? These generals, even if they fight all their lives, there will be no one to fight. Zhao Kuo's arguments are correct, and his words must be based on evidence. How can they not involve reality?"

"No, no, no! The boy always goes astray there, but the old man can't think of it for a while." Zhao Kuo smiled innocently: "Father can't figure it out himself, and still accuses me of going astray, really." "Wait a minute!" After flipping through the pages, Zhao She said again, ""Sun Tzu Combat" says, "Those who are good at using soldiers will not serve in the army, and the food will not last for three years; if they are used for the country, because the food is from the enemy, the army will eat it." It can be enough. Those who are poorer than the teacher will lose far away, and the people will be poor if they lose far away. Therefore, wisdom will serve the enemy.'How do you criticize it?"

Zhao Kuo responded immediately: "This is the theory of the Spring and Autumn Period. If you stick to this theory in the Warring States Period, you will be defeated!" "It's nonsense!" Zhao She scolded, "It is impossible to solve the military rations on the spot in the enemy's country, what the general wants, and the limit of the use of troops. Why is it not feasible in this world?" "Father is familiar with the history of war. After Wu Qi, is there a country with a large army that takes food from the enemy's country?" After a while of silence, Zhao She was obviously overwhelmed by his son's question.After a while, Zhao She's voice was heard again: "It's really not there. You kid said, why is that so?" "Father, I just want to," Zhao Kuo said with a mischievous and smug smile on his face, and then said old-fashioned words that didn't match the boy's smile, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were thousands of princes, and half a day's journey was a state. However, there are military conquests, and there are few who do not cross several countries. The country is small, and the granary is easy to find and easy to seize. Even if it cannot be captured, you can borrow food from other countries nearby. In the worst times, you can also rob the enemy country and surrounding areas The ripe crops of a small country. But this is the case. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the countries of the world borrowed food from each other to relieve disasters and rescue wars. Therefore, there is a saying of "conquering and feeding on the enemy". However, in today's world, the world has been divided by seven great powers. Twenty or thirty small princes were dying in the cracks. But when there was a war, hundreds of thousands of troops would confront each other every now and then. The enemy's granaries and fortresses were all far away from the battlefield, and the barracks and granaries were heavily fortified. How could they easily win? Even if the attack on the enemy's granary is successful, it can only deplete the enemy's food and cannot replenish one's own. Therefore, Sun Tzu said that it should not be used in the Warring States Period, and there is no such case in the Warring States Period." "It seems to make sense." Zhao She's voice dragged on for a long time, "However, my father always feels that something is wrong, but it's just that he can't figure it out for a while." "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it." King Huiwen walked out of the bamboo forest with a big smile. Zhao She hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Zhao Kuo also saluted after his father.King Huiwen was so happy that he patted the young man on the shoulder and praised the general, then turned around and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma Fu, I will lend you this son." "My king laughed." "It's not just a joke." King Huiwen restrained his smile, "Prince Zhao Dan has mediocre intelligence. This king wants Zhao Kuo to study with him in the palace, and the young classmates will discuss with each other, so as to encourage the prince to work hard. What do you think of Ma Fujun?" Zhao She thought for a moment, then solemnly cupped his hands and said: "Although Zhao Kuo has a talent for reading, the veteran always feels that he is untrained and flashy. If he misunderstands the prince, what will the veteran do?" "Mr. Ma Fu is so worried." King Huiwen smiled, "If a newborn calf is afraid of a tiger, isn't it because you and I are old?" He turned around and patted the young man on the shoulder, "Zhao Kuo, would you like to study for a few more years?" Zhao Kuo raised his chest and said loudly: "Reading experience, willing!" "Okay." King Huiwen nodded, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow you will enter the palace to meet Prince Fu." "Obey!" Zhao Kuo took the order in a loud voice like a general, "Zhao Kuo takes his leave and orders tea on behalf of his father!" Then he turned around and ran away. Looking at Zhao Kuo's back, King Huiwen still had a happy expression on his face, standing in front of the table and muttering admiration.Zhao She was also thoughtful, until King Huiwen turned back and took his seat, and then suddenly smiled: "My king took the time to come, there must be a big event. This place is clean and secret, and my king just said it's okay." I have to talk about the exchange of fifteen cities for Heshibi, and finally said: "This is a tricky matter, what is Ma Fu's judgment?" Unusual way of diplomatic relations. According to the old ministers, the military power of the Qin State was helpless to the State of Zhao for a while, so he used these diplomatic means to try and deal with him. If Zhao ignores it, the world will regard Zhao State as fearful of Qin Ruhu and dare not form an alliance with me; Hand over He Shibi, but Qin State will definitely not really cede fifteen cities, and now Zhao State is unable to fight Qin State, it is in vain to be deceived and deceived, which greatly damages the dignity of our country; if it is flatly refused, Qin State will send troops To tell the truth, if the five major powers don’t want to get involved in the war, they will accuse Zhao Guoxibao of lightly fighting and urge our country to reach an exchange, but in the end there is still a dilemma. It is really difficult to deal with it.” "Tricky King Qin! Thanks to him for coming up with such nasty tricks!" King Huiwen angrily complained, but he had nothing to say. "Wait a minute!" Zhao She's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly, "It's still an old saying, the brave wins in a narrow road!" "Mr. Ma Fu, do you mean to start a fight with Qin?" King Huiwen couldn't help being shocked. "It turned out that the old minister was abrupt." Zhao She smiled apologetically, "The old minister's meaning: the tricks of diplomatic relations should be broken by means of diplomatic relations. Dilemma mediation requires diplomatic warriors. If there is a special envoy with both wisdom and courage, he will specialize in Heshibi to deal with Qin country, may have a happy ending." "That's right." King Huiwen tapped lightly on the table, "Mr. Ma Fu thinks, who is worthy of being a special envoy?" "The old minister is not familiar with diplomatic relations, and there is no one to choose. My king may wish to call the ministers to recommend, or we may get someone." King Huiwen clapped the case, "Okay! That's it." At Maoshi the next morning, all the ministers in Handan entered the palace under special orders.King Huiwen told the whole story, and ordered the ministers to nominate talents who could be special envoys.Since the feudal system is still preserved, most of Zhao's ministers have a number of retainers of varying degrees. They usually recommend talented people. Except for officials in the government office and strangers, the main source is the retainers of various houses.In the Zhao Kingdom at that time, Lord Pingyuan, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, had the most followers, with approximately two thousand people.However, Mr. Pingyuan thought about it for a long time, but he said that most of them were warriors, and other than that, they were scribes with a little skill.The other ministers said a few words, but they were immediately criticized by those who knew them, so they let it go.Seeing that there was no result, Mr. Pingyuan proposed to issue an edict to all the counties and counties to seek talents. In such a huge country of Zhao, why would there be no one?Although King Huiwen felt it was too slow, he had no choice but to agree. At noon, the ministers dispersed, and King Huiwen was about to leave the palace, but the eunuch Ling Miaoxian, who had been guarding the throne all the time, came over and bowed: "Dare to ask my king, the old minister has a talent, I wonder if he can recommend it?" King Huiwen couldn't help laughing Said: "In extraordinary times, if you don't stick to the usual rules, you can say it." It turned out that the eunuch ordered the general affairs of the palace and all the maids. Although he was among the ministers, he was not a castrated servant, but because of Serving the close ministers of the monarch, countries have laws that do not allow eunuchs to order and hear political affairs.Every time there is a palace meeting, the eunuch Ling is the only minister who does not set up a seat and can only stand behind the monarch in case of emergencies.Because of this, Miao Xian can only speak afterwards, and must be authorized by the monarch. "Lin Xiangru, a member of the old minister's mansion, is worthy of being a special envoy." Miao Xian was reserved and reticent, and finished it in one sentence. "I have to talk about it, why is this person worthy of such a great job?" King Huiwen smiled, "Come, sit down and talk." "Follow the king's order." Miao Xian carefully knelt down before the case, "At the beginning, the old minister was convicted of attaching to the son, and wanted to flee to the country of Yan. Lin Xiangru insisted on dissuading him, and asked why he believed in the king of Yan? The master and the King of Yan made an alliance, and the King of Yan held the hand of the old minister in private and said that he would like to make friends with the old minister, so he wanted to go to the country of Yan. But Lin Xiangru said that Zhao is strong and Yan is weak, and he is a trustworthy minister of Zhao Wang, so Yan Wang only has the intention of making friends , how can we make a sincere friendship? Today, I am a fugitive, losing power and losing the country. The king of Yan is afraid of Zhao Guoqiang's army. Also! Veteran, please be a conspirator, Lin Xiangru said, Zhao Wang is generous, and his step is not the culprit, but if you lay down your axe and plead guilty, Zhao Wang will surely pardon you. The old minister obeyed, and sure enough, my king pardoned the old minister, and returned to the official position." "Oh——" King Huiwen suddenly realized, "Is this the person who planned the old Lingqing's forgiveness?" "Exactly." King Huiwen tapped on the case, "Who is this Xiangren Fang? Why did you become your family?" "I report to my king: Lin Xiangru, the son of Lin Hu, the magistrate of Anyang County in this generation, studied in Jixia Academy of Qi State for six years before returning to Zhao State, but his father was involved in the chaos of Zhao Zhang and was convicted. Lin Xiangru ran to Handan to seek a way out. The servant recommended him to join the old official's family, and the old official ordered him to be a servant and housekeeper, in charge of government affairs." Miao Xian knew the secrets of employing people, and he explained the joints very accurately. "You think this person is useful?" "The veteran thought: Lin Xiangru is a brave man with more resourcefulness, and he can be a special envoy." Miao Xian did not hesitate at all. "Okay!" King Huiwen clapped the case, "I ordered Lin Xiangru to meet you in the West Pian Hall in the afternoon." "Old minister obeys!" Miao Xian rushed away excitedly. In the setting sun in the afternoon, the west-facing side hall was brightly lit. King Huiwen glanced through the viewing hole of the big wooden screen, and saw a man in red clothes and tied hair walking leisurely in the hall. The short beard was actually a little yellow, which was obviously of Hu people's blood.King Huiwen walked out quickly, but Lin Xiangru is under the steps?Lin Xiangru, a commoner in Daijun, saw King Zhao.Since Sheren was only a retainer and had no official status, Lin Xiangru met with him as a scholar. "Lin Xiangru, can the King of Qin exchange Shibi and me with fifteen cities?" King Huiwen got into the topic straightforwardly. "Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, it must be allowed." Lin Xiangru said concisely, but there was no analysis. "If the state of Qin doesn't cut off the city after it gets the bi, what can I do?" "The exchange of treasures is the axiom of the world. Qin asked for the city with the city. It was the way. If Zhao refused, the reasoning was in Zhao. If Zhao handed over the jade and Qin refused to Zhaocheng, the reasoning was in Qin. Weighing the two strategies, I would rather choose Give the jade bi and let the state of Qin arrange the music." "However, this special envoy is difficult." King Huiwen sighed. Lin Xiangru bowed his hands with emotion: "At present, my king must be empty, and Lin Xiangru will send Bi as an envoy as he wishes. If Qin cuts off the city, the Bi will stay in Qin State. If Qin does not cut the city, I will return the Bi to Zhao." "Okay!" King Huiwen stood up, "if this is the case, then no matter whether you change it or not, the state of Zhao will be invincible." Turning around, he ordered loudly, "the imperial book issued an imperial edict: Lin Xiangru is appointed As a special envoy, I will enter Qin with a biscuit." Lin Xiangru complied generously, and followed the royal scriptures in the royal palace to process the seal of the state letter of ceremonies. Five days later, he entered the palace to welcome Heshibi, and then went west with three hundred cavalry guards.Zhao Wang's edict did not confer any official title on Lin Xiangru, but only appointed him as a special envoy.A special envoy is not an official title, but an envoy of the monarch who handles one thing at a time. Ministers can be special envoys, and ordinary people can also be special envoys.At this time, Lin Xiangru, who was a special envoy, was actually a doorman, and a doorman had always been a private minister of the head of the family, not a state official. After all, he was still a commoner.Lin Xiangru knew very well that the reason why Zhao Wang issued such an edict was that one was that there were certain laws and regulations: no meritorious deeds would be rewarded; It aroused criticism from the ruling and opposition parties.But in any case, Lin Xiangru only insisted on one point: celebrities are envoys of the country, and they should not disgrace their mission. Within ten days, when Lin Xiangru arrived in Xianyang, he stationed a team of three hundred horses in the south of the Wei River outside the city, and brought only ten black-clothed warriors specially sent by King Zhao to protect the wall into the city.After settling in the posthouse first, Lin Xiangru sent his deputy envoy to enter the Office of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a letter from Zhao Guowang to discuss matters concerning the mission.In the early morning of the next day, an edict from the King of Qin came from the Pedestrian's Office: Zhao Guo's special envoy Feng He Shibi went to Zhangtai immediately to meet him.Lin Xiangru received the edict, and a group of chariots and horses, accompanied by pedestrians from the state of Qin, left Xianyang and crossed Fengshui to Zhangtai. Entering Zhangtai, he saw that the guards were heavily guarded along the way, and Lin Xiangru knew that the meeting of the monarch and ministers of Qin must be here.When they arrived outside the main hall of Dezhangtai Palace, the pedestrians from the state of Qin went into the hall to report first, and came out after a while to announce: "The guards are waiting outside the hall, and the special envoys and deputy envoys will go to the hall!" The officials waited outside the hall, picked up the huge copper box in their hands, and entered the hall with high spirits.After entering the hall, Lin Xiangru felt strange. Although there were many people in the hall, they were full of guards, servants and maids. There was not a single minister sitting in the hatchback, so he knew that the king of Qin was not here for the court meeting, nor was he treating this matter seriously. Exchange Baobangjiao.Even so, Lin Xiangru visited Qin Zhaowang in accordance with the diplomatic ceremony, and held Zhao Guoshu's letter with both hands. "Okay! King Zhao's offer of biscuits means that Qin and Zhao are good friends." King Zhao of Qin laughed loudly, and casually put the letter of credence aside, "Come on! This king will take a look at this world-renowned Heshibi first." Seeing King Qin being so contemptuous, Lin Xiangru's heart sank, but he still calmly took the copper box and walked up the king's steps, opened the copper box on the king's case, took out the heavy jade bi and handed it to King Qin himself.King Qin Zhao held the jade bi, but felt that the white and green in front of his eyes were shining brightly, but his hands were gentle and pleasant. He thought it was a unparalleled gem, so he laughed loudly: "Zhao Guo presented this treasure, it is indeed unparalleled in the world! , you have opened your eyes!" Then he handed it to the head of the housekeeper and passed it on to the guards and maids, without taking this world-class treasure as a solemn event.The maids in the house were surprised to see the hustle and bustle, and they all shouted: "My king Debao! The auspiciousness of the country! Long live!" King Qin Zhao was also happy to stand up and comment with a few old servants, just discussing with relish what this treasure can send. use? Lin Xiangru made a long bow: "The King of Qin knows how valuable this treasure is, but he doesn't know how flawed it is." "There are flaws in such a jade?" Qin Zhaowang couldn't help being surprised, "Come on! Tell me, what are the flaws?" Lin Xiangru took the jade bi and said: "The flaws of this jade can only be seen with the light of bronze." He took the jade bi and walked calmly to the copper pillar in the palace, turned around and looked at King Qin Zhao suddenly and said seriously: "King Qin knows, Why is this treasure called Heshibi?" Qin Zhaowang said with a smile, "It is nothing more than Heshi's carving, how can there be others?" Lin Xiangru said solemnly, "This treasure is in this world, but there is a story of blood and tears. Has the King of Qin heard of it?" King Qin Zhao shook his head and smiled: "The story of blood and tears? I haven't heard of it, but you just said it." Lin Xiangru said: "Five hundred years ago, Bianhe, a jade craftsman in the state of Chu, found a large stone in Jingshan. This stone was born in On the rugged mountainside, there is gurgling spring water leaching from under the stone. Bian He was gifted with insight and realized that there is an incomparable treasure hidden in this big stone. But the fate of the country is long. King Li of Chu immediately sent three jade craftsmen from the royal family Shangfang to judge. The three jade masters all said that this stone is rough and invisible, and it is safe and precious. It is clear that this person is cheating the world. The king of Chu was furious and immediately chopped it down. Bianhe's feet were thrown off, and he was driven out of the palace. When Bianhe left the palace, he hugged a big stone and slept in the wind and wept day and night. In three years, his hair was like frost and snow, and his hair was like withered wormwood. The whole country regarded it as strange and ominous. Sending an envoy to the foot of Jingshan Mountain to inquire. Bian He cried, "My sorrow is not because of my missteps, but because the world's most precious jade hides the stubborn stone! The world has no eyes, and the precious jade is a stone. It is clear that it is loyal, but it confesses the sinner. The great Chu country, It’s so sad! King Wen of Chu got the report, and immediately took the jade worker to Jingshan Mountain, cut open the stubborn stone, and found the brilliant jade. King Wen of Chu issued an edict to entitle Bian He as Marquis of Lingyang, with a territory of sixty miles. Bian He Just a long bow, the national treasure is now in the world, and He Dang will go. He rolled down the cliff and died at the southern foot of Jingshan Mountain. King Wen of Chu felt that Bian He was steadfast in guarding the treasure, so he ordered this treasure to be Heshibi. King Qin thought that this Isn't it a story of blood and tears?" "Bian He is a fool!" King Qin Zhao was actually attracted by this story, frowning and said, "Why don't you cut open the big stone yourself, take out the jade and present it to the country, wouldn't it save the catastrophe of amputation?" "The King of Qin didn't know how hard it is to work!" Lin Xiangru sighed, "To dissect the jade stone, we need special cast iron knives and fine sand from the North Sea. It can be bought in other countries, but how can a jade craftsman cut the stone and cut the jade?" "So that's the case, but the special envoy is Bowen." Qin Zhaowang smiled and said, "Tell me, what is the flaw in Heshibi?" "The flaw of this jade is also the wonder of this jade." Lin Xiangru held He's jade up to the sun, and saw a ray of red light flashing suddenly, "King of Qin should know that when Bian He's blood splashed into the jade body, This made the bibi glow with a fiery red light amidst the bright white and green colors. Chu people said that this is the light of blood, and it is also where Bian He's soul belongs!" "What's a flaw in the bloody light? With this bloody light, it is in line with the way of the Warring States Great Contest, and it is really my great Qin national treasure!" King Qin Zhao stretched out his hand, "Come on, I will take a look again." Lin Xiangru suddenly approached the copper pillar, lifted the jade disc high, and said angrily, "If King Qin takes one step closer, Lin Xiangru and the jade disc will be destroyed under the copper pillar together!" "What a Lin Xiangru, why did he suddenly change his face?" Qin Zhaowang was very surprised. "King Qin, why did you ask the question?" Lin Xiangru shouted angrily, "Heshibi is the most precious treasure in the world, and King Zhao sent it to Xianyang solemnly after fasting for five days. , but did not mention the matter of severing the city and exchanging it, it is clearly contemptuous of Zhao! As a special envoy, how can Lin Xiang bear it?" King Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter: "Okay, come here, bring the map of Zhaoyu." Then a scribe hurriedly brought a large roll of sheepskin map and unfolded it, and King Qin Zhao pointed to the map, "The special envoy looks at the map." Now, the fifteen cities in Hanoi are bordered by Zhao State, how about ceding them to Zhao State?" Lin Xiangru sneered and said, "Heshibi is so valuable, how can we just say it? The King of Qin should imitate Zhao Wang's fasting for five days and hold a grand court meeting. In exchange for the letter of cutting the city, Lin Xiangru should offer Heshibi." Qin Zhaowang thought for a moment and smiled: "Okay, I will do it for you. I fast for five days, and you will offer the treasure. Come, let the special envoy of the State of Zhao be placed in Guangxi. Cheng Chuanshe will stay here, and the court meeting will be held in five days." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Chuanshe is the inn.Guangcheng Chuanshe is the most famous inn and wine shop outside Zhangtai. It is spacious and tidy, and occasionally also serves as a national post house. When foreign envoys meet the King of Qin in Zhangtai, they often live in Guangcheng Chuanshe.For this reason, the Pedestrian's Office, which is in charge of diplomatic relations, housed an official in Guangcheng Chuan, called Chuan Sheli, who was in charge of receiving and taking care of foreign envoys.Lin Xiangru and his party settled down, and it was already evening. After dinner, Lin Xiangru called two black-clothed warriors to discuss, and the black-clothed warriors pretended to be business travelers and left the Chuanshe.After a while, Lin Xiangru took two guards to go out in a chariot openly. He only said to the biography official that he was going to the special envoy camp of Zhao State to settle affairs, and then he limped away.When he arrived at the south bank of Defeng River, he encountered two merchants in black waiting for him, so Lin Xiangru put away He Shibi and rode northward immediately.The route chosen by Lin Xiangru was to go straight from Xianyang Beiban to Hexi Shangjun, and then go west to Lishi Fortress and go straight to Zhao State.This road is more than half shorter than the road going east out of Hangu Pass, and the two warriors returned to Handan within three to five days. After sending back Heshibi, Lin Xiangru lived peacefully in Guangcheng Chuanshe. In the early morning of the sixth day, it was heard that there was a grand guard of honor outside the house, but it was pedestrians who came to meet the special envoy Xianbao under the king's order.Lin Xiangru didn't speak, just boarded the car calmly and entered Zhangtai Palace.This time, the main hall of Zhangtai Palace was really grand and majestic. Following Lin Xiangru's footsteps, the sound of shouting was uploaded from outside the palace gate to the main hall.After seeing the etiquette, I heard Qin Zhaowang on the throne speak majestically and reservedly: "Zhao envoy Lin Xiangru, I have fasted for five days as promised, and today I should present Heshibi." , but the state of Qin exchanged jade with the city." Qin Zhaowang said: "Even if the city is exchanged for jade, this king has pointed out the fifteen cities of Hanoi to you, so what else can I say?" Lin Xiangru smiled leisurely: "and The jade has been safely returned to Zhao, foreign ministers, please tell me the reason." Qin Zhaowang was suddenly furious: "Bold Lin Xiangru! How dare you tease Da Qin?" Lin Xiangru bowed and said: "Qin Wang Mingcha: Qin has been twenty since Mu Gong The monarchs of the Yu Dynasty have never had a firm bond with the princes of Shandong, and many verbal promises have come to naught! Lin Xiangru is sincerely afraid that he will be deceived by the King of Qin and insult his mission, so he returns the jade to Zhao. If the King of Qin really exchanges fifteen cities, please Immediately sent a special envoy to deliver the goods to Hanoi with his ministers. As soon as Zhao Guo received the defense of the fifteen cities, Lin Xiangru immediately presented He Shibi. Although Zhao Guo is strong, it is still weaker than Qin Guo. I want to use a piece of jade to deceive the Qin State and make the world laugh. If the King of Qin sins against me, Lin Xiang will be punished in a pot of soup if he wishes, and he will be cooked and killed without complaint!" There was silence in the hall, and the king and ministers of Qin State were shocked by this envoy of Zhao State who calmly responded to the request to kill him. To be precise, there should be some admiration.Even so, the diplomatic relations were embarrassing after all, and the ministers all angrily accused Zhao Guo of being untrustworthy and blaspheming King Qin, he deserved to be killed!Lin Xiangru cooked and killed in a wok! Suddenly, King Qin Zhao burst out laughing: "Lin Xiangru, you can be regarded as a character. Even if I kill you, I won't be able to get Bi, so why bother? The exchange of Bi City is originally a business. If you want to do it, do it. It’s fine if you don’t do it. Forgive the king of Zhao for not bullying me, Da Qin, with a piece of jade. Lin Xiangru, I’ll let you go back to Zhao, and we’ll talk about it later.” After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left. When Lin Xiangru returned to Handan, he became famous in the court of Zhao State.King Huiwen was even more deeply moved, and immediately issued an edict to worship Lin Xiangru as the senior doctor in charge of diplomatic relations.A crisis of diplomatic relations initiated by the state of Qin came to an end. Since then, the state of Qin no longer mentioned the exchange of Heshibi, and the state of Zhao no longer mentioned the ceding of cities. .
