Case: Emperor Tongguang said to Xinghua, "I have acquired a treasure of the Central Plains, (selling it short) but no one can name a price for it." (Even surrendering the realm cannot exchange for it). Xinghua said, "May I borrow Your Majesty's treasure to look at?" (Taking advantage of the occasion to seize the momentum). The Emperor pulled the straps of his headcloth with both hands. (Fortunately encountering the right person). Xinghua said, "Who would dare to name a price for the ruler's treasure?" (Paid in full all at once, with nothing lacking).
