Chapter 229;
If it weren't for Qunyu Mountain
The next morning, Ying Ji summoned Lin Xiangru, the envoy of Zhao State, when he was in court.
Lin Xiangru saw the gloriousness of the Qin Palace, and the Qin King Ying Ji on the throne was less domineering than the king.
Lin Xiangru thought to himself that the King of Qin was always under the halo of Queen Mother Qin, so he could firmly sit in the position of King of Qin, which was far inferior to his father and grandfather.
Therefore, even when facing the most powerful Qin State and its ministers, Lin Xiangru was alone and was not afraid of the Qin court.
He politely and politely performed the rituals of the King of Qin. When he took out the Heshi Bi with awe, he obviously felt that everyone's eyes fell on the Heshi Bi.
When I saw the rumored Heshi Bi, it was crystal clear and shaped like a jade plate. It was purer than ordinary jade, harder in texture, and could also illuminate people's shadow.
If it weren't for the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon for thousands of years, how could it be as bright as the moon?
Ying Ji was moved by this. He came up with a way to keep Yu in Qin and cheat Zhao once.
So Ying Ji deliberately teased that it was just an ordinary piece of jade, and it was impossible to see the preciousness of the Heshi Bi.
Lin Xiangru said with a sarcasm, "Heshi Bi is the most treasure in the world. King Zhao heard that the King of Qin used fifteen cities to exchange for Heshi Bi, fasted and bathed for three days, burned incense and prayed to the gods, and ordered his ministers to come and offer this jade. But the King of Qin
There is no respect for Heshi Bi, so blasphemy, and there is no sincerity to exchange for Heshi Bi. If Heshi Bi, you must exchange for fifteen cities, and not one less is not enough."
He also passed this jade to several court officials around him and his close servants to play with him, deliberately mocking the jade as ordinary.
Lin Xiangru took the Heshi Bi, raised it and shouted, "The King of Qin had no sincerity to exchange for the Heshi Bi. Then the minister smashed the Heshi Bi, and then he hit and died on the stone pillar, and his jade and stone were burned."
Ying Ji had no choice but to agree. After the court dispersed, Lin Xiangru returned to the Shishi Station and sent someone to disguise himself late at night to secretly send Heshi Bi back to Zhao State.
Ying Ji said perfunctorily, "It's better to do this. Zhao State offers a price and Qin State buys this jade, which can be considered a good condition for our two countries to make a good deal."
"What is the foreign minister trying to do? He actually scares me." Ying Ji slapped the table and said angrily. The guards and others also drew their swords and pointed them at Lin Xiangru. The court officials were also startled.
The incident in the court reached Mi Yue's ears, and she was furious and almost fainted.
So he said calmly, "The foreign minister is calm and put down the Heshi Bi quickly. Of course I respect such a treasure. Qin State has trust in his words and uses fifteen cities to exchange for the Heshi Bi."
Ying Ji heard Lin Xiangru say this, so he asked his servant to give the Heshi Bi to Lin Xiangru.
The King of Qin looked at Lin Xiangru's appearance that he was willing to break the jade but not the fullest. He was really worried that he would break the Heshi Bi impulsively.
Ying Ji ordered people to take the Heshi Bi back, and he held it in his hand, looking reluctant to let it go, but Lin Xiangru saw the details.
Lin Xiangru was very angry when he saw the King of Qin's contemptuous and disdainful attitude, and felt that the King of Qin was not sincere.
Lin Xiangru said, "Then please ask the King of Qin to fast and bathe for three days, and then take out the graphic documents that were assigned to the fifteen cities of Zhao State. The foreign ministers offered the Heshi Bi to the King of Qin with both hands."
So Lin Xiangru said bluntly, "Since the King of Qin thinks the Heshi Bi is ordinary, there is no need to exchange it for fifteen cities."
But Lin Xiangru firmly retorted, "The King of Qin promised to exchange fifteen cities, and Zhao State sent the Heshi Bi, but the King of Qin said that other conditions were exchanged for the Heshi Bi, and it seemed that he still liked the Heshi Bi. I forgot to tell the King of Qin,
There is a flaw on the Heshi Bi, so let the Weichen point it to the King of Qin so that the King of Qin will not find something wrong in the future and feel that it is not worth buying."
The next scene directly shocked Ying Ji.
When Lin Xiangru felt that King Ying Ji of Qin would make things difficult for him, he had the determination to treat him as if he had returned to Zhao safely, his mission would be completed.
But Ying Ji let Lin Xiangru go, and it was said that it was the decree of the Empress Dowager of the Great Qin.
Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao safely all the way, without any obstacles after leaving Hangu Pass.
He felt that this woman was able to control the Qin Dynasty for 30 years, which was indeed not simple, with foresight and vision.
