Childe, what is this doing? When Tian Ying mentioned Zhou Wangqing's matter as soon as he opened his mouth, all the ministers present wondered in their hearts, wasn't this looking for scolding? When Tian Ying finished speaking, all the ministers suddenly realized: It turned out that Tian Ying wanted the king to be the king. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you think about it carefully, this idea is really good: I have a thousand miles of Qi country and one hundred and twenty cities, which is a rare country in the world with ten thousand times. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, there were only 300 military vehicles, and the Zhou Dynasty was established by wanton slaughter, isn't it based on strength? Now the strength of my Qi country is strong enough, with the fact of the king, but I still have to be a vassal to the poor and destitute Zhou Tianzi, who can bear this?

Of course, the most important thing is that if Qi Hou becomes the king of Qi, then the status of these ministers will definitely improve! The kings have changed from candidates to kings, so at least everyone's titles can be mentioned, right? Maybe there will be a few more feudal monarchs in the Qi Kingdom? How many Hou Ye?

So after the ministers present were a little cold, they couldn't wait to get off in person and began to persuade Qi to be king!

Qi Hou was very happy with Tian Ying's suggestion to persuade him to become king, and this suggestion really went to his heart. Who is he Tian Yinqi? It is the person who pulled the Wei State from the hegemony of the world, and the monarch of a great country with a land of thousands of miles and an army of ten thousand times. King Zhou is just relying on the legacy of his ancestors, and now the place is only a hundred miles away, and the soldiers are not more than a thousand times, but he dares to reprimand him, why? Isn't it because he is the Son of Heaven and a king? If the widow can be the king and sit on an equal footing with Zhou Tianzi, if nothing else, at least he can not be affected by the bird spirit of King Zhou.

However, among the ministers present, there were only two people who were silent, one of them was Xiangguo Zou Ji, and the other was Qi Houqing Chun Yuji.

Seeing that these two people did not echo the ministers' policy of claiming the king, Qi Hou began to ask questions. He first asked Xiang Chun Yuji: "Mr. is very knowledgeable, every argument will help the widow, and now all the ministers are urging the widow to be the king, Mr. is silent, dare to ask Mr. What can teach the widow?" ”

Chun Yuyu replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, the minister just remembered an interesting story that the minister heard when he went to the state of Chu." ”

"Oh? What an interesting thing, say it and let everyone have fun. Qi Hou was also interested, he knew that Chun Yuyu was humorous and liked to persuade himself with hidden words. As a monarch, you must have a retainer by your side who can always advise you.

It is said that there is a person in the state of Chu who lived a poor life, once read the book "Huainan", and saw that it was written in the book that "the praying mantis uses leaves to cover its body when it snoops on the cicada, and it can hide its body in this way", so he leaned up under the tree and picked the leaves - that is, the leaves that the praying mantis made invisible when watching the cicadas, to pick it. This leaf fell to the bottom of the tree, and there were already many fallen leaves under the tree, and it was no longer possible to tell which one was the one that the praying mantis was invisible. The Chu people swept and collected several baskets of leaves from under the tree and took them home, covered themselves with leaves one by one, and asked their wives, "Can you see me?" At first, the wife always replied, "I can see," and after a whole day, I was so tired and tired that I had to lie to him and say "I can't see it." The Chu people were secretly happy in their hearts, carrying the opposite leaves into the bazaar and taking other people's goods in front of them. So the servants tied him up and sent him to the county yamen. The magistrate interrogated him, and when he heard what he had said, he burst out laughing, and let him go, without punishment. Now the king is a prince, humiliated by the Son of Heaven, but the king relies on force to declare to people: I am the king. This is like one of the Chu people, thinking that he can deceive himself. Chun Yuyu laughed humorously, and finally began to become serious.

"Good." Qi Hou said to Chun Yuji. "The widow knows that Mr. Qi likes to tell the truth, and he is also willing to tell the truth to the widow." However, although he said this, he was a little unhappy about it in his heart. Then he asked Zou Ji: "The unknown Xiangguo is silent, but what can I teach the widow?" ”

There is a great difference between Zou Ji and Chun Yuji, Chun Yuji is Qi's son-in-law, less than seven feet long, and he has the hair of his descendants. Zou Ji is a famous beautiful man in Qi State, more than eight feet long, and his appearance is beautiful. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was completely different from Chun Yuji's statement: "Tell the king, the ministers of the rank have advised the king to be the king, but the minister has repeatedly thought about it, is it beneficial for the king to be the king of my Qi country?" Since his accession to the throne, the monarch has made great efforts to govern the country and speak widely. Then he successively rescued Zhao and saved Han, and all the princes in the world were for me, and the head of the horse of Qi was Zhan. The king does not claim to be the king, and the princes of all countries look at the face of my Qi country and act like him. However, if the king is the king and pre-empts the princes, then Han Zhao will not think about the grace of my Qi country to save the country, but will resent my Qi country. Back then, the Wei State was so powerful, but the south was strong Chu, and the east humiliated our Qi State. And the Qin State Shang Yang strongly persuaded Wei Hou to be the king and summon the meeting of Ze, but Korea did not go, and my Qi country was not happy, so there was the battle of Maling. After this battle, can Wei Guoan have the potential to dominate the world? Therefore, the minister really didn't know where Wang Li was, but asked the king to check it. ”

What did Wei Hou look like after he became the king of Wei? Of course, Qi Hou knew very well that he caused this result. Zou Ji's words are indeed very reasonable, and the words of the king are not good for the Qi country. However, he has always remembered the scene of Zhou Envoy reprimanding him in his heart, and he really can't swallow this breath. At the same time, there was also a faint voice in his heart shouting: The widow is the lord of the Qi country, and the affairs of the Qi country should be completely decided by the widow, whether there is any benefit in the Qi country is also the business of the widow, and the widow should be the king! However, Tian Yinqi is worthy of being praised by the people of the world, and he has always been able to accept his loyalty. Since his minister of state and his most praised ministers are opposed to him becoming king, of course the matter of claiming the title of king cannot be done, even if he really wants to be king, at least he should slow down. So he immediately ceased to talk about the king's court, and the ministers dispersed.

Although the discussion of the king was stopped at the court meeting, when all the ministers came to visit Tian Ying's mansion after the court, everyone praised Tian Ying's proposal as a wonderful proposal. The trend of calling the king continued to expand, Linzi as the largest city today, with a population of more than 300,000, and the Qi people were good to discuss, and the king's discussion soon spread from Linzi to all parts of the Qi country, and soon the whole Qi country began to talk about whether Qi Hou should be called king.

For the ordinary people of Qi State, Qi Hou becoming the King of Qi has almost no impact on everyone, and they are all ruled by the Tian clan anyway. The Tian family has been buying people's hearts in the Qi country since Chen Wan in the era of the Jiang family's Qi Huan Gong. Therefore, when the Tian clan replaced Qi later, the entire Qi country actually had no opposition at all, and the common people were even happy that the Tian clan was able to rule them. Therefore, whether Qi Hou is king or not is just a small adjustment after tea and dinner for them.

The most dramatic place for the real symmetry of the king's discussion is in the Jixia Academy.

Jixia School Palace is located near the Jimen Gate of Linzi in Qi State, so it is named Jixia School Palace. The Jixia School Palace was built in the era of Tian Wu, the father of the current Qi Hou, but it was the current Qi Hou Tian Yinqi who really created the situation of the Jixia School Palace.

After Qi Houtian ascended the throne, he felt that the strength of the Wei State was not only due to the strength of the Wei family's military forces, but also to the prosperity of the Wei State's culture and education, and the rapid development of the Xihe School and the Guigu School made a large number of talents emerge in the Wei State. As a rising country, if Tian Qi wants to surpass Wei, he must be able to surpass Wei in talent. So Qi Hou created the Jixia Academy, and the Jiang family was extinct in the early years of Qi Hou's accession, so the first thing that the Jixia Academy created was to defend the rationality of the Tian regime, so as to consolidate the position of the Tian family in the Qi State. Because Tian's ancestor Gongzi Wan fled to Qi from the south to Qi during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, the Tian regime chose the Laozi doctrine from the south, and at the same time brought out the Yellow Emperor, who is said to be earlier than Yao, Shun, and Yu. On the one hand, it is to overwhelm the Confucian, Mo, and agricultural families, and more importantly, Qi Hou regards the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor of the Tian family, which is indeed painstakingly pondered. Because Tian is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and Jiang is a descendant of the Yan Emperor. The legend that the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor and had the world found a historical basis for the legitimacy of the "Tian Dynasty Qi".

Another important function of the Jixia Academy, cultivating talents for the Qi Kingdom, also soon began to show its power. The current guest secretary of Qi is a bachelor under the grass, and when Qi Hou is reforming and changing the law of the country, the bachelor can also throw out favorable opinions from time to time.

Now, for Tian Ying's persuasion of Qi Hou to be king, the Jixia School Palace learned the news, which was like triggering a major earthquake.

After decades of development, the scholars in the Jixia School are naturally not only the Huang Lao family, and almost all the famous schools in the world are among them. For Confucianism, Qi Hou's claim to be king is simply a great rebellion and messing up the courtesy; If Qi Hou is the king, then this is another step forward in the process of the world towards the collapse of etiquette. For the Mo family, it is completely unnecessary for Qi Hou to be the king, Qi Hou, as a monarch, should be diligent and thrifty, why waste the country's resources on such flashy things as being the king? Huang Laozhi's attitude is more ambiguous, on the one hand, they think that Qi Hou is virtuous and should have the throne of the king, but they do not clearly say that Qi Hou should be called the king. The result, of course, was the effect of Chun Yu's opposition to the title of king. The Legalists believe that Qi Hou should be called the king, headed by Shen Dao, and think that Qi Hou already has the power of the king, and he should really go further, that is, the throne and fight for the world. Originally, the Jixia School Palace was a place of debate, and usually all factions had to find all kinds of things to debate (tear each other) with each other, but now there is something more important, everyone put down the debates at hand, and began to have a heated discussion with the various factions about whether they should be king.

Zou Ji was extremely disgusted by this, believing that there was no precedent for such an academic influence on politics. However, Qi Hou reminded Zou Ji with the original edict as an example, and then explained that Qi's speech policy could not be changed. Zou Ji didn't have anything to say about this matter, so he could only let it develop.

The Qi people lived their ordinary life in the noisy atmosphere of whether Qi Hou should be king, and the news of Qi discussing Qi Hou's claim to be king also began to spread around, and Zhao, Hanyan, Song and other countries did not react to this, but when the news reached the ears of Wei Guo's prime minister Hui Shi, the development of things began to become uncontrollable.
