In 316 B.C., King Yan gave up his seat. Zizhi succeeded to the throne as the king of Yan, carried out internal reforms, and implemented new policies to consolidate the power in his hands. Externally, send envoys to make good friends with the princes and countries. The powerful envoy team led by Yan Xiang went to Qi State. Qi Xiangtian Poppy was ordered to greet the envoy team of Yan Kingdom who came from afar. When the envoys of the Yan State appeared in Linzi of the Qi State, the Qi Xiangtian Poppy welcomed the envoys of the Yan State in a formation with the highest courtesy. Qi Xiang and Yan Xiang greeted each other and saluted and sent greetings. Qi Xiang and Yan Xiang seem to have witnessed the situation of mutual friendship and harmonious coexistence between Qi and Yan.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qi Xiang invited Yan Xiang to enter the Qi Palace.

Qi Wang Tian Bibi met Yan Xiang in the palace with grand courtesy.

Yan Xiang stepped into the Qi Palace, saw the military etiquette of the Qi country, the appearance of the Qi ministers, and the prestige of the Qi King Tian Biyi, and said in his heart: "Qiang Qi really deserves its reputation. Yan Xiang is the minister of a country, naturally he has seen a big scene, stabilized his mind, walked towards the king of Qi in a leisurely manner, bowed his hand and said: "Foreign minister, meet the king of Qi." ”

"Yan Xiang came from afar, and he worked hard all the way." Tian Bibi saw that the person who came had a good appearance, an extraordinary bearing, and a degree of advance and retreat, and wondered: "Yan Guo also has such talents. ”

Yan envoy bowed his hand again, "I am sent to your country by the king's order." This is the king's letter of state, please read it by the king of Qi. ”

Qi Xiangtian Poppy stepped forward to take the letter of state and forward it to the eunuch. The eunuch took the letter of state and humbly presented it to the king of Qi. Tian Bibi took the national letter and asked, "How is Yan Wang Ji." ”

Yan Xiang replied calmly: "The king of Yan Kingdom, it's not Ji Hao. ”

"What did you say?" Tian Bibi exclaimed: "King Yan is not Ji Xu. It's hard to make it, Yan Guo has changed hands. ”

The news of the change of ownership of the Yan Kingdom has not yet reached the princes of the Central Plains, and Tian Biqi naturally does not know about it. Yan Xiang replied calmly and calmly: "King Yan will give up the throne to Zizhi. Today, King Yan is the son. ”

"Yan Wang's Zen position." Tian Bi ridiculed: "The world is a world of great contention, how can I give the gift of Zen." What Yan Wang Hao did is not absurd. ”

The courtiers of Qi were also in an uproar.

Tian Bibi asked: "The national letter in the hands of the widow is not that of King Yan. ”

Yan Xiang said: "The letter of state is presented by the new Yan King. My king is willing to make peace with the Qi country for generations to come, and never fight. ”

"Generations are at peace and never fight." When Tian Bibi heard this, he was slightly angry in his heart. He didn't look at the book in his hand and threw it aside, and said provocatively: "I am strong in Qi and weak in Yan, and An can compete with me." ”

When Yan Xiang heard this, his face sank, "King Qi, what do you mean by this." Forgive me for being dull and not understanding. ”

"Yan Xiang is a smart person, how can he pretend to be confused. The widow only recognizes the king of Yan, but does not know the prince of Yan. Tian Bibi asked: "How can the son of He De, dare to usurp the throne." ”

"My king knows that he is incompetent, and his talent is shallow, and he refuses to accept it. King Yan built an altar to tell the gods of the mountains and rivers, and handed over the 300 stone officials to the new king for appointment. Zizhi couldn't refuse, so he had to be forced to take the order. ”

"Is it forced, or forced palace." Tian Bibi said sharply: "The son is a minister, how can he take the position of the sovereign." If the son's position is not correct, how can the Qi country recognize it. ”

"King Qi is planning to meddle in Yan's internal affairs."

"Yan Xiang, you bring a message to Zizhi" Tian Biyi's expression was cold, "The affairs of Yan Guo are in charge of the widow." ”

Tian Biyi's words have come to this point, Yan Xiangduo said that it was useless, and he left in a huff. After Yan Xiang left, Tian Poppy came out and said, "Your Majesty, you plan to meddle in the internal affairs of Yan Kingdom. ”

"If you let Yan Guo open a precedent. When the powerful minister gains power, he will follow suit. Is there a difference between kings and ministers, and there is a degree between people and ministers? ”

Tian Biyi's heart was shocked when he heard this, Tian Biyi's words were ostensibly about the unrighteous way of the son's trip, but in fact, it was not an allusion to his excessive power. Tian Poppy assisted the new king, broke the Qin, controlled Chu Yue, and attacked the three Jins. His prestige had already overshadowed Qi Wang Tian Piyi. In recent years, Tian Bibi has been wary of him everywhere, and he is very suspicious.

Tian Poppy stabilized his emotions, "What is the king going to do?" ”

"In the affairs of Yan Kingdom, the widow will not directly interfere."

"The king's will says..."

"Qi Xiang is a smart person, he must have guessed it." Tian Bibi said warmly: "The prince of Yan is still in my country. If the widow does not interfere in the Yan Kingdom, Ji Ping will also regain his throne. Ji Ping and Zizhi are fighting, and there will be turmoil in the Yan Kingdom. The Yan country is in chaos, and I, the Qi country, can sit and reap the profits. Tian Bibi said with a smile: "King Yan does not fight with the princes, and learns from the ancients to practice Zen." How can the ancestral foundation be given to others, Yan Guo! I'm afraid it's over. Since Ji Hao can't manage his own world, the widow can help him manage it. Widow, let's see if this prince of Yan Kingdom has the courage to regain the throne that belongs to him. ”

"The words of my king are very true."

"Zizhi and Ji Ping are fighting, and they can't have the last laugh." Tian Bibi got up and said to the ministers: "The widow is the one who has the last laugh." ”

After the heavy rain, the Qi country is in Linzi, and the night is peaceful and beautiful. However, there is one person in the country of Qi, but he cannot enjoy the peace and beauty of the night. This person is the prince of Yan Kingdom. The news of King Yan's letting the prince of the country spread to the Qi country, and also to Ji Ping.

Ji Ping said angrily: "Father, you are so confused, confused! ”

Qin Zhen, the guard, said anxiously: "Prince, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

"I dare say, I'm afraid that the wall has ears." Ji Ping said in a cold tone: "Father, I'd rather give up the throne to the minister than pass it on to me." ”

"Prince." Qin Zhen said: "The king is in the Zen seat, and there must be hidden secrets in it." ”

Ji Ping recalled the scene of the hall that day, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and he muttered to himself: "If you enter Qin, you will not be allowed to give an edict, and you will not be allowed to return to the country." ”

"Prince, the king has no choice but to let you hostage for your safety."

"He is the lord of a country, and he has no choice but to do so." Ji Ping slammed the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, raised his voice and said, "Send me into Qi and Zen others." It's for my safety, for my good. Qin Zhen, tell me, what am I in his eyes. ”

"Crown Prince, no matter what the king decides, he is your father. It is a great sin for the Son to speak against the Father. ”

"He is not my father. I have not been so cruel to my father. Ji Ping said angrily: "Contrary to the ancestral system, the Zen courtiers, and the princes all laughed." He is not worthy of being a Ji man. I am the prince of Yan Kingdom, and I want to take back everything that belongs to me with both hands. What they have inflicted on me, I will take back more. ”

"What is the prince going to do?"

"Although I am not in Yan Country, there are still effective people loyal to me in Yan Country." Ji Xu's eyes were cold, like a cold winter, "Zizhi has won the throne, and I will fight with him." ”

"There are many leaders of the Son, and they are full of wings. We are no match for him. ”

"I am a boy surnamed Ji, and I have noble blood. Defeated, up, worthy of the ancestral heroic spirit. next, worthy of his seven-foot man's body. Ji Hao said angrily: "If the competition for the throne is unsuccessful, it's a big deal that I will go to see the ancestors." Eighteen years later, he was born in the king's family and started over. ”

"The king let the crown prince enter Qi as a hostage, and he must not be edicted, and he must not return to the country." Ji Ping's entry into Qi is hostage, which is related to the diplomatic relations between Qi and Yan. Ji Ping returned to China privately, and the diplomatic relations between Qi and Yan were broken. Qin Zhen asked, "Prince, in what name should we return to the country?" ”

"He is not a king, and his words cannot bind me. If I don't return to the country, how can I fight with my son? ”

"It's not easy to leave the Qi Kingdom and return to the Yan Kingdom." Qin Zhen frowned and said, "The Qi Kingdom will not let the crown prince return to the country. ”

"You'll help me."

"When we return to the Yan Kingdom, we are alone, and it is not enough to fight against Zizhi." Qin Zhen paused and said, "Why don't we ask for help from Qi Guo." ”

Ji Hao sneered: "The Qi Kingdom helped me to restore the throne. ”

"The prince moves with affection and understands with reason. With great righteousness, he denounced Zi's move to seize the throne and persuaded the king of Qi. Qi Wang An can not help the crown prince return to the country and restore the throne. ”

Ji Ping pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "If King Qi doesn't help me restore the throne, I will also return to China to fight with my son." ”

Heaven was touched by Ji Ping's sincerity, and it rained heavily in Linzi, Qi State. In order to show his sincerity in asking for help from Qi Guo, Ji Ping knelt at the gate of Qi Palace, wept bitterly, and blamed Zizhi for his disobedience.

When the ministers of Qi heard this, they were not upset, and they expressed deep sympathy, and entered the palace to ask the king of Qi to send troops to help the poor man in front of him to return to the country. However, Qi Wang Tian Piqi was appropriately ill and did not deal with the government. Although the ministers of Qi had the intention to help Prince Ping, they couldn't see the face of the king, and they couldn't help.

The eunuch said: "Qi Xiang, the king summoned you." ”

Tian Poppy settled down and followed the eunuch to the harem to meet the king of Qi.

Before Tian Poppy stepped into the harem, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo wind music. Tian Poppy already understood that the king's refusal to deal with government affairs was intentional. The eunuch stopped and arched his hand: "Qi Xiang, please wait." ”

Tian Poppy arched his hand, which was a response.

After a while, the eunuch came out and said, "Your Majesty, please go in." ”

Tian Poppy entered the palace and bowed his hand and said, "Minister, meet the king." ”

Tian Bibi raised his hand and said, "Sit." ”

"Thank you, the king."

Tian Poppy was so preoccupied that he didn't have the heart to watch the song and dance at all. After an hour, the song and dance finally came to an end. Tian Bibi waved his hand, and the singer bowed and retreated. Tian Bibi asked, "There are many beauties in the land of Yan Zhao. Who is more beautiful compared to the beauties of Yan Kingdom and the beauties of our country. ”

Tian Poppy didn't expect the king to ask such a question. Fortunately, Tian Poppy practiced a skill, instantly calmed down the ups and downs in his heart, and replied: "The land of Yan Zhao is bitter and cold. But it is also rich in beauty. ”

Tian Bibi touched his chin, "It would be great if the widow could sit in the Yan Palace and watch the singing and dancing of the beauties of the Yan Kingdom." ”

Although Tian Bibi said it casually, when it came to Tian Poppy's ears, it changed its taste.

Tian Bibi asked: "The widow is sick and ignores the government. The Minister of the Imperial Household can gossip about widows. ”

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan wept bitterly outside the city of Qi. Ministers, come to intercede for Prince Yan. It is hoped that the king will send troops to help Prince Yan restore the throne and reorganize the discipline of the monarch and ministers. ”

"Prince Yan has come to beg me."

"Your Majesty, do you summon him?"

"No hurry, no hurry. The widow has not yet seen his sincerity and his mind. Tian Bibi saw that Tian Poppy wanted to speak several times and stopped, and asked, "Qi Xiang, if you have anything to say directly." ”

"Your Majesty, help the crown prince to restore the throne, my Qi country will not be able to reap the benefits. The minister did not advocate helping Prince Yan Ping. ”

"The widow will help the prince, but the widow will not send troops." Tian Bibi played with the wine bottle and said: "Qin Guo helped Chong'er return to China to reset his throne, what did he get. The Bingfeng of the Jin State pointed directly at the Qin State, and the Qin State did not dare to send a letter to the Valley for hundreds of years. Wu sent troops to attack Chu, not Qin sent troops to help the Chu people, and Chu also died. The State of Qin helped the State of Chu, and what about now. ”

"The king's meaning, the minister does not understand."

"What the widow wants is the land of Yan and the people of Yan country."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"The purpose of the widow helping Ji Ping to return to the country is to let him compete with his son. The country of Yan is in chaos, and the people's hearts are naturally lost. In the name of supporting the righteous path, the widow rectified the dynasty. Take the land of Yan and take the people of Yan country. Tian Biqi drank the wine in his hand and sighed, "Yan Kingdom has existed for nearly seven hundred years, long enough. ”

"The king wants to seek the kingdom of Yan."

"How long has Prince Ping been crying?"

"Five Hours"

Tian Bibi got up and said, "It's time for the widow to see him." ”

The waiter Gao Xuan said: "Prince Xuanyan enters the palace. ”

Ji Ping staggered into the Qi Palace, crying: "King Qi save my Yan Kingdom." ”

"The prince hurry up, the son is so rebellious, the widow will never sit idly by." Tian Biqi was furious and said: "What is Zizhi, An dares to covet the throne." The Jiang family has been in Qi for hundreds of years, and the national throne has come to an end. My ancestors spent seven lifetimes accumulating merit. Han Zhao Wei has the shadow of his ancestors for hundreds of years, so he can divide the Jin and establish the country. Zizhi is a pariah, and he has no ancestral fortune, relying on the power of the land in his hands, and persecuting the throne of King Yan. Zizhi seized the country of Yan, and the widow could sit idly by. How could the country of Yan be taken away by him. ”

"King Qi's great kindness and virtue will be remembered for the rest of his life, and he will not dare to forget."

"The widow can do something for the prince."

"Please King Qi send me back to the country, I want to rectify the discipline and regain the throne."

"Okay." Tian Bibi praised: "The prince has such ambitions. The widow was deeply grateful. Although Qi is a small country, it will also listen to the prince's dispatch and help the prince return to China to revitalize the dynasty and rectify the degree of people and ministers. ”

"Ping, thank you King Qi."

"The widow will help you restore the country, what is the benefit of the Qi country."

"If I am the king of Yan, there will never be a war between Yan and Qi. The Yan Kingdom will also serve the Qi State and respect Qi. ”

"Okay." Tian Bibi said heartily: "I wish me the two countries of Yanqi and eternal peace, and there will be no more troubles in the war." ”

"Ping, the kindness of King Xie Qi's recreation."

"General Tian Yang listens to orders."

"The last general, here."

"The widow ordered you to escort the prince back to the country, so as to correct the discipline of the monarch and the ministers."

"No."

"Prince, go back and rest for a few days." Tian Bibi comforted: "The widow will help you return to China and restore your throne." ”

"King Xie Qi." Ji Ping left the Qi Palace with a wolf-like smile.

Tian Bibi dispersed and returned to the harem.

Tian Yang entered the palace and met King Qi and said, "Your Majesty, you really plan to send troops to help Ji Ping return to the country and restore the throne." ”

"The widow doesn't say that, and he doesn't give Ji Ping guts. He dared to return to China to compete for the throne. ”

"The king's meaning, the minister does not understand."

"Ji Ping returned to China to seize the throne, and the Yan Kingdom will be in chaos. The Yan Kingdom is in chaos, and the few people can lead our troops to seize the land of the Yan Kingdom. ”

"The king is clever in this plan." Tian Yang looked faintly uneasy and said: "Your Majesty, my country occupies the Yan Kingdom, and the Zhao Kingdom will not interfere." ”

"To the west of the Zhao State, there is the Qin State to contain it. The Qin State had already seized the central capital and Xiyang of the Zhao State. Qin and Zhao were at war, and Zhao was too busy to take care of itself. An can manage the affairs of Yan State, how can Zhao State be an enemy of our country. Tian Biyi's face sank and said: "The sky is clear, and General Tian Yang has worked hard to protect Ji Ping's return to China." The Ji family couldn't control the country of Yan, and the widow took care of it for him. ”
