有一回,赵王得了一件无价之宝,叫和氏璧。
In one instance, Emperor Zhao acquired a priceless treasure—the He Clan Jade.
秦王知道了,就写一封信给赵王,说愿意拿十五座城换这块璧。
Emperor Qin learned about it and wrote a letter to Emperor Zhao expressing his willingness to trade fifteen cities for this piece of jade.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
赵王接到了信非常着急,立即召集大臣来商议。
Emperor Zhao was very worried when he received the letter and summoned his ministers for a discussion.
大家说秦王不过想把和氏璧骗到手罢了,不能上他的当,
Everybody said Emperor Qin only wanted to swindle away the He Clan Jade
