Uncle Shi stood up and said slowly: "The first king has a respectful temperament, is good to the people, and recovers the Qi country for the military, so the nickname should be Xiang!" ”

"Xiang?" Tian Jian laughed at himself a little in his heart, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart when he knew the result.

Xiang, there is virtue in the land, there is labor in the armor, there is merit in the matter, perseverance is just Xiang, the praise is said to be successful, and the virtue is far away.

King Qi Xiang, whose real name is Tian Fazhang, is the son of King Qi and the seventh monarch of the Tian Qi regime. King Xiang of Qi reigned for 19 years and died in 265 BC. King Xiang died at the hands of Naoya, Tian Fazhang changed his name to Ju Taishi as a servant, and privately won the love of Taishi's daughter, that is, the queen. In 283 BC, the Ju people legislated for the king of Xiang, Tiandan broke the Yan army, and after recovering Qidi, he welcomed the king of Xiang to return to the capital Linzi.

Although the king of Qi Xiang had mediocre personal ability, he accepted the lessons of the king of Qi, reconciled with the princes, and rebuilt the Jixia School Palace, so that the national strength of the Qi State was restored, but after this four-year war, the national strength was greatly injured, so it was never able to be strong as before.

In the past nineteen years, although Tian Fazhang's ability is not good, it is not as good as the previous monarchs of Qi State, but the mess left by King Qi Min has been slowly repaired by Tian Fazhang, King of Qi Xiang, and nineteen years is also the nineteen years of Qi State recuperation.

When the city of Linzi was broken, Qi General Dazi was killed in battle, and the people of Linzi were so devastated, the grand occasion of Linzi can be said to be no longer the past, but when it came to Tian Fazhang, Linzi was getting better again.

When looking at a country, the first thing to look at is the capital, and Linzi in Qi is still the most prosperous city.

If you use the historical kings to see King Qi Xiang, he is like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, good at cultivating and living, and the problems of the Qi country that once loved to build the palace have been greatly improved in his place, and most of the palaces of Qi are still the buildings of King Min of Qi.

"The widow .... Agree. Tian Jian tried his best to pretend to be indifferent.

"Xiang has lived up to the king." The queen's face was solemn, and the black mourning clothes were worn on her, but they were very indecent.

"The queen mother is finally the person she remembers." Tian Jian shook his head secretly, feeling a little sad in his heart, and the mother's love that he couldn't see clearly was generated at this time.

The wisdom of the queen can be said to be one of the best among the queens, of course, don't mention Wu Zetian and Qin Xuan, who are rebellious people who usurped the throne and changed the dynasty. He is very similar to Empress Changsun and Zhang Yan, they are both virtuous, and they give up some things for the sake of the big plan.

The virtue of Empress Changsun is not something that can be explained in just a few thousand words, so let's talk about it simply.

When Li Shimin had not yet initiated the Xuanwumen Change, the Tang Dynasty was still in the Wude period, and at this time, the twenty-four roads of smoke and dust and the eighteenth road anti-king were not completely eliminated, and Li Shimin had been fighting abroad for a long time, and the eldest grandson and queen of Qin, as the princess of Qin, were dealing with the prince's mansion and the Qi palace, which ensured that Li Shimin would not be shot in the back.

The most famous is the "Imperial Uniform". Once after Li Shimin returned to the palace, he said to his wife very angrily: "I will definitely kill that hillbilly when I have an opportunity in the future!" ”

Empress Eldest Sun asked, "Who provoked Your Majesty?" ”

Li Shimin replied: "Wei Zheng often humiliates me in the court. ”

Empress Eldest Sun faces her angry husband. There was neither a push boat down the river to make a statement of incitement, nor did he make promises and did not dare to speak silently. She made a peculiar move, ignoring her husband for the time being, retreating to the inner room, and changing into official court clothes. Then she walked up to her husband to congratulate her. Li Shimin was very surprised and asked his wife's intentions. Empress Eldest Sun replied with a smile: "I heard that the monarch is enlightened and his subordinates are upright, and now Wei Zheng is upright and daring to speak, because of His Majesty's open-mindedness, how can I not congratulate him!" ”

Li Shimin turned his anger into joy when he heard this, and then paid more attention to Wei Zheng.

As for Zhang Yan, she is a lamentable empress, as the empress of the carpenter emperor, he was respected by Zhu Youxiao, who persuaded Zhu Youxiao to establish Zhu Youzhen as the emperor, and after the city of Beijing was broken, he hanged himself.

This is very different from the Kaifeng City Break in the Song Dynasty, those princesses and imperial concubines were humiliated, but they did not have the courage to die.

And the queen is also a strange woman.

After the death of King Xiang of Qi, Tian Jian, the son of the queen, became the king of Qi. At that time, Tian Jian was only sixteen years old, so the queen stepped onto the political stage. The law of Qi Xiang Wangtian enabled the Qi State to gradually recover its national strength from the dangerous situation of being almost destroyed by the Yan State, and re-became a powerful vassal state with "thousands of miles of land and millions of armor". The re-emergence of the Qi State caused unease in the Qin State.

There is such a passage in the Warring States Policy: Fan Sui said to the King of Qin: "I heard that the queen of Qi is virtuous and wise, and I should try it." “

Nai ordered the messenger to present the queen with a jade chain and said: "There are people in the Qi country who can solve this ring, and the widow is willing to bow to the wind." “

The queen ordered to take the golden hammer in his hand and immediately break the ring, saying to the messenger: "Spread the word to the king of Qin, the old woman has solved this ring." “

The messenger also reported, Fan Sui said: "The king is the best of the women, and he must not commit it." So they formed an alliance with Qi, and each did not infringe, and the Qi country rested in peace.

Once, Qin sent an envoy to give the queen a jade chain, and said with a treacherous smile: "I heard that there are many wise and resourceful people in the Qi Kingdom, I don't know if I can unlock this ring?" ”

This chain is probably similar to the nine links we often play today, and it was quite new at that time. Of course, the two countries intersect, and it is not a joke to take a nine-in-a-row, this is a kind of temptation and provocation. The queen took the jade chain and asked the ministers, the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, they looked at each other, and no one knew how to untie this thing. At this point, if you admit that you can't solve it, wouldn't you admit that the courtiers of your own country are a bunch of rice buckets, and as soon as they are preached by the envoys of the Qin State, then the Qi State will not become an international joke. What do we see with the queen?

The most thrilling scene suddenly appeared, only to see the queen pick up the hammer, smash it towards the jade chain, smash the jade chain to pieces, and then calmly said to the Qin envoy: "It has been unraveled."

This is the queen, a woman, who does a lot of things that big men don't dare to do. In the face of Qin's aggressive provocation and the arrogance of the Qin envoy, the queen smashed it to pieces with a hammer. The queen's feat is not a whimsical act, but a major decision made against the country in the face of a strong enemy's provocation. "Bullying the weak and fearing the hard" is equally applicable from country to country. The state of Qin did not take half a step towards the "thunder pool" of the state until the death of the queen. With her extraordinary courage, the queen not only saved the kingdom of Qi, but also became famous, won great prestige for herself, achieved unprecedented achievements, and reached the pinnacle of her life.

Facing his mother and queen, Tian Jian only admired in his heart, when she let go of the emotional shackles, she was not like herself.
