Who is the main person who pleads guilty?

The people who shouldered the blame were Lian Po and Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru was named Shangqing by the King of Zhao because of his many meritorious services to the State of Zhao, ranking above Lian Po. Lian Po was very dissatisfied when he found out, so he tried every means to make things difficult for Lin Xiangru, but Lin Xiangru just tried to avoid it.

One day, Lin Xiangru went out in a carriage and saw Lian Po riding his horse from a distance. He quickly asked the coachman to turn around and go back. Lin Xiangru's retainers were very dissatisfied with Lian Po's behavior, but Lin Xiangru told them that he was not even afraid of the King of Qin, so how could he be afraid of Lian Po? The reason why Qin did not dare to attack Zhao was because of himself and General Lian.

After Lin Xiangru’s words reached Lian Po’s ears, Lian Po was ashamed. So he took off his shirt, carried a thorn stick on his back, and went to Lin Xiangru's house to plead guilty. After Lin Xiangru saw Lian Po, he quickly greeted him warmly. From then on, the two became good friends and worked together to defend Zhao.
