The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 719 0027, priceless treasure
Zhao Zheng, who saw the old man surnamed Lin, was a little excited, even more excited than when he succeeded to the throne of the Qin Kingdom.He really saw the old man surnamed Lin, he was a serious and legendary figure.

The old man surnamed Lin was named Xiangru, and many people have heard stories about him.The first idiom story is "Apologizing to a Thorn", which tells the story between General Lian Po and Lin Xiangru.At that time, General Lian Po was dissatisfied, so he always hoped to see Lin Xiangru, and then deal with him properly.

Later, after hearing Lin Xiangru's words, General Lian Po, who felt ashamed, pleaded guilty and went to Lin's mansion to apologize to Lin Xiangru.If you don't say a word, you don't understand, if you don't do something, it's unfair.Lin Xiangru was a magnanimous person, how could he have the same knowledge as General Lian Po, since then they have a very good relationship.

Lian Po is a warrior, so he doesn't know how to read words and expressions, so it's understandable that he couldn't guess Zhao Zheng's identity.Of course there was also Li Mu. Although he had guessed Zhao Zheng's identity, he absolutely didn't dare to say anything.He knew that too much talk would lead to failure, so he always kept Zhao Zheng at a respectful distance.

But Lin Xiangru was different, he saw Zhao Zheng's identity at a glance, and also understood Zhao Zheng's thoughts through the dialogue.He is different from the previous two, because he had met the most powerful monarch of Qin State, King Qin Zhao.

In the history of Zhao State, there was a monarch named Zhao Wuling King, and Hu Fu riding and archery was a reform measure of Zhao Wuling King.His reform measures doubled Zhao's combat power and became the most powerful country among the seven countries.It's a pity that the descendants cannot continue the glory of the predecessors, so the state of Zhao is not as good as the state of Qin now.

Back then, Lin Xiangru stood on the main hall of Qin State and scolded King Qin Zhao angrily.This incident has already been spread all over the country, and many people have written this incident as a story in books.It's just that there are many versions of this matter, and few people can figure out which version is true.

Lin's mansion is no better than Lian's and Li's mansions. Lin Xiangru has always had money like dung, and he donated most of his salary.He has no requirements for life, and he undoubtedly lives like an ordinary farmer every day.

The only thing Lin Xiangru could get his hands on were the two official uniforms given to him by King Zhao back then.This kind of situation is rare in Zhao State, but Lin Xiangru is definitely a role model.Wherever he went, there were so many people who wanted to see Lin Xiangru in person, so that the old man seldom went out recently.

As far as Lin Xiangru is concerned, as long as the country of Zhao can live in peace and prosperity, even if it is his old bone, he will not hesitate at all.

As a courtier, he has received the favor of the emperor, so naturally he cannot abandon the government because of his own selfishness.Whether the monarch is a wise monarch is very important, but what is more important is the group of courtiers in the court.

Lin Xiangru led the way, and Zhao Dan and his party walked into the hall of Lin Mansion.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Zheng wouldn't have believed it if he killed them. They were in the hall of the Lin Mansion right now.As the prime minister of Zhao Guo, Lin Xiangru's monthly salary is quite a lot.Did he not even have the money to decorate the living room, or did he spend all the money on other places?

For Zhao Zheng, this kind of thing can only be guessed out of thin air, after all, it was the first time he met Lin Xiangru.However, it is not difficult to see from Zhao Dan's calm expression that she has long been accustomed to this.

The butler came to help everyone make tea, and then Lin Xiangru chatted with Zhao Dan about some issues about leaving the palace.Most of the time, it was Lin Xiangru who asked Zhao Dan to answer, and only when Lin Xiangru was thinking silently, Zhao Dan would take the initiative to ask.

Lin Xiangru was quite old, and Zhao Wang specially approved him not to go to court every day.But he still insisted on going to court every day, and if he couldn't go, he would go every two days.

After all, the means of transportation at that time were either horse-drawn carriages or sedan chairs, and the fastest way was to ride a horse directly.Elderly people can't ride horses, and the carriages are bumpy, but taking a carriage saves a lot of time than taking a sedan chair.

The antique tea set and tea leaves, Zhao Zheng felt extraordinary after taking the first sip.However, Lin Xiangru, who has always been generous, was very stingy about this matter, and he would never allow the housekeeper to make tea for the guests a second time.There are only so many good tea leaves, and Lin Xiangru lived most of his life with only this little hobby.

The same is true for many people. Fame and wealth are not attractive to them, and it is often some inconspicuous things that attract them more.For example, Lin Xiangru, it is not uncommon for him to give him gold, silver, jewelry, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, but if you give him a bag of good tea, he will be hard-hearted to refuse.

Many things can be marked with a price, but it depends on who you give this thing to.Giving calligraphy and paintings of celebrities to farmers who are farming the land is not as attractive as cattle and sheep.

There was a monarch in the history of the Qin Kingdom, who was not only the longest reigning monarch in the history of the Qin Kingdom, but also one of the few monarchs who liked antique jade.

In the past, monarchs liked beautiful women, but this monarch is more obsessed with antique jade than peerless beauties.This monarch is of course King Qin Zhao, who was 75 years old when he died and reigned for 56 years.Now that we have mentioned King Qin Zhao, we have to talk about what happened between King Qin Zhao and Lin Xiangru.

After Qin Zhaowang succeeded to the throne, he not only carried out drastic reforms to the Qin State, but also encouraged farmers to find their own way out.In the first ten years after he succeeded to the throne, King Qin Zhao doubled the national power of Qin.In the second decade, Qin's combat power had more than doubled.At that time, no one in the six countries of the Central Plains dared to provoke Qin.

In the 22nd year of King Zhao of Qin, the king of Zhao State got a piece of jade by chance, which was called Heshibi.Crystal clearness is a rare treasure in the world, and some merchants were willing to spend ten thousand gold to buy this thing.

This thing appeared in front of the king of Zhao State after a series of twists and turns, and the news soon spread to Qin State.King Zhao of Qin was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately ordered people to go to the state of Zhao and proposed to make a deal with King Zhao.

King Zhao was frightened when he heard that, he had planned to treat He's Bi as a national treasure of Zhao State.Now that King Qin Zhao heard the news and ordered people to come to ask for it, it was difficult for him to give it or not.

However, King Qin Zhao didn't show his gun, but sent someone to inform King Zhao that he was willing to exchange the five cities with King Zhao for Heshibi.If this is the case, King Zhao can really agree to this deal.

Although Heshibi is good, Zhao Guo is not strong enough to protect this rare treasure.The vassal states have been fighting for years, and it is impossible to know how many people will die if they take down a city.Now one Heshibi can be exchanged for five cities, this business Zhao Wang thinks it can be done.

Zhao Wang told the matter to all the nobles in the court, hoping that they could come up with a perfect idea.But he didn't expect that the issue would become more complicated after the discussion.

Some people say that King Qin Zhao is clearly a sharp spear.King Qin Zhao is notoriously stingy, and has always been only allowed in and not out.Will Qin Congress exchange five cities for Heshibi?All the ministers present didn't believe it, but they always believed that King Qin Zhao wanted to be an empty-handed wolf.
