lìn。 Lin, a Chinese character in China, is an ancient surname, which comes from Ji's surname and is named after a place name. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong's junior teacher was sealed in Korea (hancheng city, Shaanxi Province), and he established Korea, which was also called Hanzi because his title was viscount. His descendants took Bill Han's surname as Han's. When it was spread to Han Jue (namely Han Xianzi), his great-great-grandson was named Han Kang, who served as an official in Zhao, and got Lin (now Mengmen in Liulin County, Shanxi Province, said it was in the northwest of Weinan County, Shaanxi Province) as a fief. His descendants took the fief name as their surname and called Lin surname. Such as Lin Xiangru in the Warring States Period.
Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao in one piece
King Zhao of Qin sat on the podium to meet Lin Xiangru, and Lin Xiangru presented a treasure to King Zhao of Qin. King Zhao of Qin was overjoyed. He handed the treasure to his wives and concubines and left and right attendants, and shouted long live. Seeing that King Zhao of Qin had no intention of using the cities to compensate Zhao, Lin Xiangru stepped forward and said, "There is a little red spot on the wall. Let me show it to the king." King Zhao of Qin handed the jade to him, so Lin Xiangru stood back a few steps with the jade in his hand, leaned against the pillar, and was furious. He said to King Zhao, "Your majesty wants the treasure jade, so he sent a letter to King Zhao Huiwen, and King Zhao Huiwen called all the ministers to discuss it. Everyone said,' Qin is insatiable, relying on its strength, trying to get the treasure jade with empty words, I'm afraid we can't get it for our cities.' As a result of the consultation, I don't want to give Bao Bi to Qin. I don't think ordinary people cheat each other, let alone a big country! Besides, it is not right to make the powerful state of Qin unhappy for the sake of a jade. So the prince of Zhao fasted for five days and sent me to hold the treasure and respectfully present my credentials in the temple. Why is this happening? It's to show respect for the prestige of a big country. Now that I have come to your country, your majesty has met me at the general stage, and the etiquette is very arrogant; After getting the treasure, pass it on to the concubines to watch, so as to tease me. I observed that the king didn't have the sincerity to give the prince of Zhao fifteen cities, so I took back the treasure. Your Majesty, if you must force me, my head will be smashed on the pillar with Bao Bi today! "Lin Xiangru holding treasure, strabismus court column, is about to hit the court column. King Zhao of Qin was afraid that he really smashed the treasure, so he apologized to him, insisted that he should not do so, and called the competent officials to look at the map, indicating that fifteen cities from a certain place to a certain place were delivered to Zhao.
Lin Xiangru estimated that King Zhao of Qin only pretended to give the city of Zhao by fraudulent means, but it was impossible for Zhao to get it, so he said to King Zhao of Qin, "He Shi Bi is a universally recognized treasure, and the king of Zhao is afraid of your country, so he dare not give it away. Zhao Wang fasted for five days before sending the jade, and now the king should also fast for five days and arrange a ceremony for nine guests in the palace before I dare to present the treasure. " After all, King Zhao of Qin could not seize it by force, so he promised to fast for five days and asked Lin Xiangru to stay in Guangcheng Hotel. Lin Xiangru estimated that although King Zhao of Qin promised to fast, he would not break his promise to the cities, so he sent his entourage to put on burlap clothes, hid Bao Bi in his arms, escaped from the path, and sent Bao Bi back to Zhao.
Five days after King Zhao of Qin fasted, he arranged a ceremony of nine guests in the palace to invite Lin Xiangru, the envoy of the State of Zhao. When Lin Xiangru arrived, he said to King Zhao of Qin: "None of the more than 2 monarchs of Qin State since Mu Gong has kept the covenant. I was really afraid of being cheated by the king and I was sorry for King Zhao Huiwen, so I sent someone back with Bao Bi and went to Zhao from the path. Besides, Qin Qiang and Zhao Wei were weak, and the king sent an envoy to Zhao Guo, who immediately sent Bao Bi. Now, with the strength of Qin, you ceded 15 cities to Zhao. How dare Zhao offend the king by leaving a treasure? I know that the crime of deceiving the king should be punished. I would rather be cooked in a frying pan. I only hope that the king and the ministers will consider this matter carefully. " King Zhao of Qin and his ministers looked at each other and were surprised. Someone in the attendants wanted to drag Lin Xiangru down. King Zhao of Qin took the opportunity to say, "If you kill Lin Xiangru now, you will still not get the treasure. On the contrary, it will destroy the friendship between Qin and Zhao. It is better to treat him well and let him go back to Zhao. Will King Huiwen of Zhao cheat Qin for a piece of jade?" Finally, I met Lin Xiangru in the palace, and finished the gift to let him return home.
After Lin Xiangru returned to China, King Huiwen of Zhao thought that he was a competent doctor. As an envoy, he was not bullied by governors, so he named Lin Xiangru as a doctor. Qin did not give the cities to Zhao, and Zhao never gave them to Qin and Choi.
