With his wisdom and courage, he returned the jade annulus to Zhao, and was recognized by the king of Zhao, who made him the title of senior doctor. Later, the king of Qin proposed to meet the king of Zhao in Mianchi to force him to yield. Lin Xiangru and General Lian Po persuaded the king of Zhao to attend the meeting and set up an ingenious plan. Lian Po put pressure on the Qin king's military strength with his bravery and skillfulness in battle, while Lin Xiangru saved the king of Zhao from being humiliated and returned to the state of Zhao safely by virtue of his unswerving loyalty to the king of Zhao and his three-inch tongue. The king of Zhao honored Lin Xiangru by appointing him as the upper minister, a higher rank than General Lian Po. Lian Po was not happy with this, for he thought that he was the most meritorious person for his valor in fighting for the state of Zhao, while Lin Xiangru was superior to him just because of his words. Lian Po was so displeased that he was determined to humiliate him. When Lin Xiangru heard the news, he avoided meeting Lian Po. When it was time for him to go to court, he claimed that he was sick and did not come out. Once, Lin Xiangru met Lian Po when he had to go out. Lian Po ordered his men to block Lin Xiangru's way by all means, and finally Lin Xiangru had to order him to go back to his house. In the end, Lin Xiangru had to order him to go back to his house. Lian Po was even more pleased with himself and publicized this incident everywhere. When Lin Xiangru's men heard about this, they all asked to go home. When Lin Xiangru asked them why, they said, "We work for you because we admire you as a truly noble gentleman, but now you are actually tolerating the arrogant Lian Po, we can't bear it." When Lin Xiangru heard this, he laughed and asked, "Do you think the King of Qin or General Lian Po is powerful? I am not even afraid of the King of Qin, how can I be afraid of Lian Po? The state of Qin dares not come to invade now, but it is only because General Lian Po and I are protecting the state of Zhao. As the right arm of the king of Zhao, how can I disregard the state of the country because of a small personal grudge?" When Lian Po heard about this, he was so ashamed that he bare his chest and carried thorns on his back to apologize to Lin Xiangru. From then on, they became good friends who shared the same life and death **** in times of trouble, and worked together to serve the country.
