On September 18, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, the main palace hall.

In order to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Handan, today in the palace hall, Zhao Wangdan and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and others feasted on the important guests who assisted Zhao in this battle: Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, and even the envoy Su Dai sent by Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang.

At this time, Handan, after three years of war, finally returned to its previous calm.

Due to the death of many soldiers and civilians in Handan, the city is very sparsely populated.

At the end of August, after the Central Plains countries reached a joint agreement with the Qin State in front of the Hangu Pass, the armies of the various countries returned to their respective countries.

Wei Wuji, the king of Wei Xinling, obtained the military power of Wei because he stole talismans to save Zhao. Therefore, after the end of the war, Xinlingjun asked the Wei army to return to China, while he and his subordinates chose to stay in Zhao.

Before the banquet, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, personally went to the palace to meet Zhao Wangdan and said to him:

"Your Majesty, when my Zhao State asked for help from the countries of Wei, Chu and even Liao, I promised its three kingdoms to give each country five cities. Now that the war is over, it is only fitting that our king will fulfill his promise to give these cities to the nations at this feast. ”

Zhao Wangdan was silent for a long time.

After half a ring, Zhao Dan said to Zhao Sheng: "Uncle Wang, do you have to give the city?" These many cities were pioneered by the previous kings. Now can you use treasures and property to replace the city of my Zhao Kingdom? ”

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng knew that Zhao Wangdan was reluctant again.

hurriedly stepped forward, clenched his fists and bowed, and said, "King, don't do it!" This time, the Zhao country is in trouble, and all countries have come from thousands of miles to reinforce our Zhao country. In particular, the armies of Chu Guochun Shenjun and Liaodi Liaocheng Jun traveled thousands of miles. ”

"Once my Zhao State breaks its promise, who will be willing to help me if my Zhao Kingdom has any difficulties in the future? The minister knows that my king can't give up these cities, even the ministers can't give up! But I have to do it! ”

"The king, in the opinion of the ministers, now my Zhao State can give these cities to Xinling Jun, Chunshen Jun, and Liaocheng Jun personally, without giving each country its strength, this is the best policy, please the king Mingjian."

Zhao Dan also knew that it was impossible not to give these cities, so he said to Zhao Sheng: "Uncle Wang, just do it according to your wishes!" ”

Before going to the banquet, Xin Lingjun knew that King Zhao was going to seal the five cities to himself, so he couldn't help but be a little arrogant and proud in front of all the guests.

said to the crowd: "This theft of talismans to save Zhao is not only good for the community, but also beneficial to Wei and Zhao, and it will also be famous for eternity." Now the king of Wei may want to take back my Xinling fiefdom, but I will get five cities in Zhao soon, isn't it better for me to wait than in Wei! ”

Seeing this, all the guests stepped forward to congratulate Wei Wuji.

Only Lux Zhu Hai was beside him, silent.

Wei Wuji was very unhappy and said to Zhu Hai:

"Zhu Hai, I'm about to get a reward from five cities, don't you want to congratulate me?"

Zhu Hai stepped forward and bowed to Wei Wuji and said, "Son, the minister heard that Mencius said, "The rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent." There are some things that cannot be forgotten, and there are some things that cannot be forgotten. ”

"Others have kindness to the child, but the son cannot forget; Childe has kindness to others, and I hope Childe forgets about it. This is the foundation of human beings! Just like the two people who died for the sake of the son, Ruji and Hou Huan, who died for the sake of the son, can the son forget? ”

"Besides, Gongzi pretended to be ordered by the King of Wei to seize the military power of Jin Contempt to save Zhao, which is a great contribution to Zhao, but for Wei, Gongzi is not a loyal minister."

"Childe has not yet received the world's comments, but because of this, he thinks that he is meritorious, feels great, and shows off his merits here. Therefore, the minister privately believes that the son should not be like this. ”

Wei Wuji's face was flushed when he said this, and he thought of Ruji and Hou Huan, who died for stealing talismans, and he was even more embarrassed.

Wei Wuji stood up, bowed deeply to Zhu Hai, and saluted:

"Thank you for the advice! It was rude and rude just now, please remind Mowgli more in the future. ”

The guests who had just stepped forward to congratulate Wei Wuji also looked ashamed and thanked Zhu Hai for their salutes.

For this grand banquet, Zhao Wangdan can be said to attach great importance to it. He personally went to sweep the steps of the hall, and personally went to the door to greet the distinguished guests, and carried out the etiquette of the host, and fused important guests such as Lingjun, Chunshenjun, and Su Dai, and prepared to enter the hall from the steps on the west side of the main hall.

In this era, only important dignitaries of the state could be ushered into the palace from the west steps of the palace hall.

Xin Lingjun and other guests saw Zhao Wangdan receiving everyone so ceremoniously. They all bowed their heads and took the initiative to ascend from the east steps. In particular, Wei Wuji leaned sideways, following behind King Zhao, very modest.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Dan stood up on the main seat, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and said to all the guests: "In this battle of Handan, thank you for helping my Zhao State, so that I can defeat the tyrannical Qin and save my Zhao State from danger." ”

"The things that the widow has promised you now will be fulfilled before the feast. The widow decided to reward five cities, including Shancheng (now north of Baixiang County, Hebei Province), to Xinlingjun; awarded five cities including Lingqiu (now Lingqiu County, Shanxi) to Chunshenjun; Lingshou (now Lingshou County, Hebei) and other five cities were rewarded to Liaocheng Jun. ”

"After the banquet, please send someone to hand over your own cities, and these cities will belong to your sons in the future. This time, for the friendship between my Zhao country and other countries, drink together! ”

After that, Zhao Wangdan and all the guests in the hall raised the wine bottle and drank it all, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet suddenly reached a climax.

At the banquet, Wei Wuji said that he was guilty, he was sorry for Wei, and Yu Zhao had no merit at all, and he was unwilling to accept the city. Chunshenjun Huang Xie also said that Chu and Zhao did not have a border, so it was inconvenient to manage, and they were not willing to accept the city.

Of course, everyone knows that this is a kind word. If you Zhao Guo really don't give it, it's your Zhao Guo's fault.

Su Dai was just the messenger of Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, and he couldn't call the shots.

As a result, after the two of them discussed, King Zhao and Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, still gave the two cities of Shancheng and Lingqiu to Xinlingjun and Chunshenjun respectively. The five cities promised to Ji Kang were all handed over to Su Dai.

Just when Zhao Wangdan and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng were feasting on VIPs from all over the world, Shangqing Lin Xiangru's Mansion was a bleak scene.

Shangqing Lin Xiangru was lying on the sickbed and said to his friend Lian Po, who came to visit him:

"General Lian Po, I'm Zhao Guo...... I'm Zhao Guo...... Finally defeated the Qin army, and now ...... Now worry-free! ”

Lian Po stepped forward and grabbed the right hand of his old friend Lin Xiangru, who was as thin as bones, and said to Lin Xiangru:

"Old friend, our Zhao State has won and defeated the Qin army. Now I'm worry-free! ”

Lin Xiangru said to the old wife beside him:

"Put the window ...... Open all the windows and let me ...... Let me take another look...... Let's take a look at the scenery of my Zhao Kingdom. ”

The old wife choked up and said, "No." ”

In the golden autumn of September, the trees in the garden are still green, and the warm slanting sun shines on the courtyard, as if the courtyard is clothed with a layer of golden clothing.

Lin Xiangru looked deeply at everything outside the window, and said to Lian Po:

"Lian Po...... General Lian Po, I'm Zhao Guo...... I'm so beautiful! True...... I can't bear it! Henceforth...... I'll leave it to ...... I've left it to you......"

At this time, Lian Po found that Lin Xiangru's voice was getting lower and lower, and his eyes were gradually closed.

With tears in his eyes, Lian Po gently put Lin Xiangru's right hand back to his side, slowly stood up, and stood in front of the couch.

In the ninth year of King Zhao Xiaocheng (257 BC), the first year of King Yan Xiao, September 18.

The world-famous Zhao Shangqing Lin Xiangru died of illness in Handan.

Lin Xiangru, from a commoner, was recommended by the eunuch Ling Miao Xian, entered the Zhao court, and became the official to the secretary.

After Zhao Guowencheng King and Xiaocheng King. When he served as the secretary of Zhao, it was a period when Qin's national strength was booming and Zhao's national strength was gradually declining.

In the face of such a difficult situation, Lin Xiangru still did not disgrace his reputation as a "wise man".

The two famous stories of "Returning to Zhao" and "Bringing Xianghe" have been passed down through the ages, which not only verify Lin Xiangru's wisdom and courage, but also show his mind to endure for the country.

At this time, the atmosphere of the banquet in King Zhao's palace became higher and higher, with beautiful women dancing and moving music.

At this moment, a waiter came in, came to Zhao Wangdan's side, bowed his head and whispered a few words to Zhao Dan.

The wine bottle in Zhao Dan's hand fell to the ground, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Wangdan slowly said to the distinguished guests: "I, Zhao Guo, my Zhao State Shangqing Lin Xiangru, passed away." ”

Before Zhao Dan could speak, an attendant hurriedly came in and said to Zhao Wangdan: "King Qiyu, someone from Duping Jun's Mansion has passed away. ”

Tian Dan, a native of Qi. It is famous for defeating the Yan State and recovering the Qi State.

In the first year of King Zhao Xiaocheng (265 B.C.), in the seventh year of King Yan Wucheng, he was exchanged by Zhao State for 57 cities from Qi State to Zhao State, and served as Zhao Xiang.

During the fierce war between Zhao and Qin, he was forced to resign due to disagreement with Zhao Wangdan.

In one day, two famous people in Zhao passed away, which is a big deal!

Xinlingjun, Chunshenjun, Su Dai and other important guests all stood up and bowed slightly together, expressing their condolences to King Zhao!

At this time, in Shangqing Yu Xin's Mansion, Yu Xin sealed the seal of Shangqing of Zhao and even the edict of Wanhu Hou given by King Zhao in the lobby.

Slowly said to his old butler:

"Now that the old friends Lin Xiangru and Tian Dan are gone, the era of our group of people is coming to an end. From now on, it will belong to the era of Liaochengjun, Xinlingjun, Chunshenjun and so on. Now it's time for me to leave Handan and take advantage of the rest of my life to travel all over the world, write books and biographies, and be happy! ”

The old butler bowed and said, "No." ”

Under the illumination of the sunset, a van car left Handan City and headed into the distance.

In the first year of the Han Dynasty, someone saw Yu Qing in Xinzheng City and reported it to Han Gaozu. When Han Gaozu Ji Kang sent someone to look for it, it was someone who went to the empty building.

Everyone did not find Yu Qing, but on the table in the room where Yu Qing lived, they found eight manuscripts presented by Yu Qing to Han Gaozu and written by himself, such as "Jieyi", "Title", "Speculation", and "Political Strategy".

Since then, no one has known about Yu Qing.
