Chapter 165: Returning home
After receiving the news of King Qi's death, Dai Yan had only one thought in his heart: the old era had completely passed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In just a few years, King Chu Wei died, Zhao Suhou died, King Wei Hui died, and now the King of Qi Wei, nicknamed "Wei", has also died!
These characters are all important figures in the early and middle Warring States period, especially King Wei Hui and King Qi Wei, both of whom can be described as a person who guided the Wei State from strong to weak, and a person who led the Qi State to prosperity, and they are all characters who have affected the overall situation of the world!
If the history of the Warring States period is to draw a dividing line, the death of King Qi Wei can be regarded as an important dividing line. Because it was he who guided the State of Qi to become strong, led the State of Qi and the State of Wei to fight the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling one after another, and ripped the State of Wei from the position of the overlord of the world.
And before this generation of monarchs, there was only one theme in the Warring States Period, that is, to change the law and strengthen the country! In such times, the situation under heaven is dominated by reformers!
At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Wei took the lead in using Li Kui's reform to become powerful and establish a hegemony in the world!
The changes in the Wei State stimulated all the countries in the world, followed by the Zhao State Gongzhong Lian Reform, the Chu State Wu Qi Reform, the Qi State Zou Ji Reform, the Korean Shen Bu Harm Reform, and the Qin State Shang Yang Reform. These changes created one powerful country after another, causing the intensity of the war to rise sharply, and the situation in the world became more and more chaotic.
After the death of King Qi Wei, although the power of reform will not completely disappear among the countries, the theme of the times has changed. In the case that Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan have already begun to show their edge, Dai Yan knows that the era dominated by the Zongheng family has come!
There are very few people in the world who can see this change, and it is extremely rare to have such an ability in the Qi country.
Even in a place like Jixia Academy, where the world's talents gather, there are very few people who can see this change. And now all the scholars under Jixia are cheering for the accession of Qi Wangtian to the throne!
It was by no means for nothing that the Jixia Academy was so excited, because as soon as this Qi Wang Fang ascended the throne, he showed an extremely friendly attitude towards the Jixia Academy, and began to greatly improve the status of the Jixia Academy.
Tian Bijiang not only greatly relaxed the scope of discussion of current affairs in the Jixia Academy, but also released a rumor, preparing to promote the scholars of the Jixia Academy and improve their treatment, as the attitude of courtesy scholars of the Qi State.
For the leaders of the scholars of various factions, Qi Wangtian directly promoted their official positions from the lower doctor to the upper doctor!
This kind of improvement in treatment is not a simple matter. In the State of Qi, officials can be roughly divided into three categories: secretaries, doctors, and scholars. And the doctor can be regarded as a middle-level official in the Qi country, and there is a difference of two levels between the lower doctor and the upper doctor.
If you take the official position of the Celestial Dynasty in the later generations, it is equivalent to the King of Qi directly promoting the scholar from the original county level to the provincial and ministerial level!
In today's era, the promotion of official positions has brought about not only changes in salaries, but also huge changes in the number of residences and servants allocated by the state.
As for the discussion of scholars of various schools, the king of Qi even allowed these scholars to "talk about it", and all the domestic and foreign policies of Qi can be discussed by these scholars without scruples!
Such an open-minded attitude is indeed a rare king's mind since ancient times. And these policies of his will also make the Jixia School Palace go to the most glorious peak!
After Tian Bijiang ascended the throne, the fate of many people changed, including Tian Ying and Dai Yan.
As soon as Tian Pijiang ascended the throne and became the king of Qi, he sent his younger brother Tian Ying back to his fiefdom Xue Yi and let him manage his fief. If history follows the original development, Tian Ying's retainer Qi Maung will lobby Tian Bijiang at this time to help Tian Ying return to Linzi. However, now that Qi Maungbi has been killed by Dai Yan and Zhao Xue in the Yingqiu hunting ground, Tian Ying naturally cannot regain control of the Qi State as he did in history.
Tian Ying originally had hatred for Dai Yan, but now after losing power, his hatred for Dai Yan is especially serious. So he mobilized his own strength and said bad things in the ear of the king of Qi: "Song Gongzi Yan preached democratic ideas in the Qi country, and his prestige was outstanding, and he no longer looked like a proton at all. If he is allowed to develop, I am afraid that the Zi clan will repeat the story of my Tian clan in the future! ”
How did the Tian clan develop in the Qi Kingdom? It was Chen Wan, the down-and-out son of Chen State, who was exiled to the powerful Qi State, and worked silently in the Qi State. After the VIII, Mo Zhi and Jing!
After eight generations, the Tian clan of the Qi country completed the Tian clan generation of Qi and took the powerful Qi country into their hands! Now that Ziyan has such an outstanding prestige in the Jixia Academy, he is also a scholar who can be ranked among the doctors of the Qi Kingdom, if Ziyan is allowed to develop in the Qi Kingdom, who knows that Song Gongzi Yan will not repeat such a story in the Qi Kingdom?
Arguments like this have already been said by people when King Qi Wei was alive before. However, at that time, King Qi Wei was very prestigious, and he didn't care about it. And now that Tian Bijiang has taken the throne at the beginning of the year, he can't help but deal with such a hidden danger that may threaten the regime of Qi in the future.
So Tian Bijiang asked: "Then what do you say should be done with Song Gongziyan?" ”
Tian Ying's people said directly to Tian Pijiang: "Kill Song Gongzi Yan to prevent future troubles!" This is the best thing for my Qi country! ”
As soon as Tian Pijiang heard this, he immediately denied it and said: "Song Gongzi Yan is a famous virtuous son in the world, and he is also a proton sent to my Qi country by the Song State, if he dies in the hands of the widow like this, will the widow have a reputation in the future?" ”
Of course, he is of course also worried about Dai Yan's growing influence in Qi State, and he does not have a good way to deal with Dai Yan for the time being.
It was at this time that Zhao Yong's order reached the State of Qi, asking the State of Qi to send Dai Yan back to the State of Song. After receiving such an order, the black-clothed guard's forces in the Qi State began to be fully mobilized.
Dai Yan was a proton sent to Qi by the Song State, which was a sign of the Song State's submission to the Qi State. The power to deal with protons is completely in the hands of King Qi.
So the black-clothed guard began to use various means to let the ministers of Qi lobby Tian Bijiang: "My Qi country is a big country in the world, and Song State is a small country. With the big to control the small, the Song State did not dare not listen, so why did he detain the son of Song Guoxian in the Qi State? Not only is it not nice to say, but it also seems that my king is too stingy. ”
Tian Pijiang took the throne at the beginning of the year and was ambitious. In fact, he is confident enough to control small countries. In his opinion, controlling a weak country like Song with a strong country like Qi does not need to be done by seizing protons.
Subsequently, he summoned Dai Yan into the Qi Palace and said to Dai Yan: "Ziyan has been in my Qi Kingdom for almost two years, and he has made a lot of contributions to the peace of my Qi State and the Song Kingdom. The widow is the most difficult to endure the embarrassment of the sage in his life, Gongzi is in my Qi country as a proton, and the widow's conscience is very uneasy, so he will send Gongzi back to the Song Kingdom, and I hope that Gongzi can continue to contribute to the peace of my Qi country and the Song country! ”
Dai Yan really didn't expect this surprise to come so suddenly, and he could also feel the sincerity in Tian Pijiang's words, so he immediately bowed down and said: "Thank you King Qi for your kindness, if you can take power in the Song State when you return to China, you must try your best to maintain the peace between the Song State and the Qi State, and make the Song State a vassal of the Qi State!" ”
Tian Pijiang was very satisfied with Dai Yan's statement, so he retained Dai Yan's status as a scholar in Qi Guoji, named Dai Yan as the doctor of Qi State, and personally arranged for people to send Dai Yan back to China.
