When King Wen of Zhao wanted Zhuangzi to display his sword and show it to him, Zhuangzi said to King Wen of Zhao, 'I have three kinds of swords here; I don't know which one Your Majesty wishes to see?'

Three kinds of swords?

"Yes, three kinds of swords!" Zhuangzi answered affirmatively.

Which three?

"The Emperor's Sword, the Lords' Sword, the Commoners' Sword."

This sword also has the Emperor's Sword, the Lords' Sword, the Commoners' Sword; this is something King Zhao has never said before. This is truly fresh, fun, hilarious, interesting.

In the palace burst a wave of laughter; the ministers all shouted, 'Zhuangzi is deceiving you, King Zhao! Under heaven, what Emperor's Sword, Lords' Sword, Commoners' Sword could there be?'

Especially those specially selected by Zhao, with disheveled hair and dirty faces, wearing heavy hats on their heads with all sorts of tassels, dressed in short clothes and shorts, glaring with both eyes, the swordsmen shouted even more fiercely: 'This Zhuangzi brat is spouting nonsense! We have never heard of an Emperor's Sword, Lords' Sword, Commoners' Sword. Please, this Zhuangzi-surnamed brat, explain to us the three sword techniques he spoke of. If he cannot explain them clearly, having deceived the great king, let us chop this brat into minced meat!'

"Chop this Zhuangzi-surnamed brat into minced meat!" the swordsmen shouted in unison.

The swordsmen were all jealous of Zhuangzi.

At this time, Zhuangzi had become a thorn in their eyes, a splinter in their flesh. For they had heard that Zhuangzi's swordsmanship was extraordinary, unbeatable wherever he went, and had even received special favor from Crown Prince Hui; it was said that King Zhao also liked him greatly. It was this Zhuangzi brat who had taken their place; with Zhuangzi around, they had no livelihood.

King Zhao waved his hand and said, 'Everyone be quiet; then let this Zhuangzi brat explain the techniques of these three swords. Let us have a public demonstration so we can see what is meant by the Emperor's Sword, the Lords' Sword, the Commoners' Sword. If these three swords truly exist, we will spare his life; if this Zhuangzi-surnamed brat is spouting nonsense and deceiving this king, we can still deal with him later, for he cannot escape. How about that?'

"Good! The king is right!" the palace again burst into shouts.

"Alright, then please publicly tell this king, what is the Emperor's Sword?" King Wen of Zhao asked Zhuangzi.

The emperor's son uses Pearl Peak as the sword tip, takes Mount Tai as the blade, takes Qin, Qi, Chu, Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan as the sword's back, wraps the Changjiang River around it, envelops the Huang He River, entwines the Bohai Sea; uses the Five Peaks as the belt, balances the Five Elements, judges with punishment and virtue; uses yin and yang to open and change, uses spring and summer to support, uses autumn and winter to move.

If this Emperor's Sword extends forward, it can sweep away thousands of troops like rolling a mat, unstoppable in all directions; under heaven, none can resist it, under heaven, none can fail to defeat it;

Raised upward, it is high as the heavens, covering the sky and blocking the sun, sorrowful clouds dim, ghosts wail and wolves howl;

Pressed downward, like Mount Tai pressing on the head, cutting nails and slicing iron, anything that collides with it will turn to powder, anything that touches it will become dust;

Moving left and right, like auspicious clouds enveloping, killing intent soaring to the heavens, might shaking the four directions, making all under heaven bow and submit as subjects.

What Jiangnan Seven Freaks, Divine Eagle Couple, before the Emperor's Sword, all flee at the sight of the sword.

If Your Majesty can wield this sword, then the empire can be easily obtained............

King Zhao was utterly enamored and intoxicated…………………………………………………………………..
