Regarding Qi Hou's attitude, Tian Qi also told Qingji frankly.

Why?

Because Tian Qi knew that now he could help himself "Dai Qi", and the one who ranked among the princes was Qingji and Wu Guo!

Since the six families of Han, Zhao, Wei, Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China can be divided, why can't the Tian family be replaced?

"King Wu, thanks to your help, King Wu, I have been able to rank among the ministers of Qi and assist the government of the country."

Tian Qi lowered his eyebrows and said: "Over the years, under the power of the prime minister, he has secretly cultivated the power of the Tian family, and at the same time used a small bucket to collect the taxes of the Qi people, and used a big bucket to lend out the grain to the Qi people, and implemented the Yin virtue ...... the people."

"In the Qi country, my Tian clan is already a dominant family, and the Guo clan and the Gao clan cannot be compared."

I thought that Tian's motto could be realized. The time is ripe, I wonder if King Wu can help the Tian family? ”

"If the matter is completed, the Tian family will definitely go to Wu for generations, with Wu as the mainstay, and communicate with each other."

Hearing this, the corners of Qingji's mouth pursed into a smile, and said, "Tian Xiang, do you really think that the time is ripe?" ”

"This ......"

Tian Qi stubbornly said: "King Wu, even if the Tian clan can't replace Qi now, you can go further. ”

Qingji glanced at Tian Qi and said slowly: "The Lu clan of Qi State has enjoyed the country for more than 500 years and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Rutian clan, although since the generation of Tian Jingzhong (Tian Wan), six generations of people have worked hard, and finally made the Tian family the largest family in the Qi country, and now it has won the hearts of the people of Qi. ”

"However, there is only one chance. Tian Xiang really thinks that the time is ripe? ”

“……”

Tian Qi was silent.

The situation of the Qi State is different from that of the Jin State.

Because of the matter of "Quwo Daiyi", when the Jin State was dedicated to the Duke of Jin, he wantonly slaughtered the children of the side branch of the Gong clan, that is, the clan of Huanzhuang, which caused the decline of the office, so that the power of the Marquis of Jin later fell and the dictatorship of the Six Qings.

Qi is different.

Although the power of the princes of Qi is not very strong, but the Marquis of Qi (Qi Jinggong) is still the monarch in power, with the Marquis of Qi here, how dare Tian Qi make a mistake?

Why did Tian represent Qi?

From Tian Wan to Qi becoming a Gongzheng, to Tian Huanzi serving Qi Zhuang Gong and being favored, it has been a full 122 years.

The Lu family has experienced nine generations of monarchs: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wuwei, Duke Xiao, Duke Zhao, Duke Yi, Duke Hui, Duke Qing, Duke Ling, and Duke Zhuang.

The Tian family has experienced five generations: Chen Wan, Tian Mengyi, Tian Min Mengzhuang, Tian Wenzi Xuwu, and Tian Huanzi Wuyu.

Starting from Tian Huanzi, the Tian family implemented private government and won the hearts of the people with the Marquis of Qi.

The current Qihou Pestle is a luxurious king, especially in his later years, he is even better at governing the palace, gathering dogs and horses, and likes luxury and heavy punishment.

The cloth, silk, millet, and millet in the office warehouse were all rotted and wormed, but the Li Shu at the bottom had no life, starvation, and labor continued, and the protesting countrymen were suppressed, and there were not many people whose feet were cut off.

As a result, there has been an abnormal phenomenon of "the cities of the country are cheap and expensive".

In the event of a disaster, Qi Hou did not go to help.

In the generation of Tian Qi's father, Tian Huanzi, he adapted to the situation and implemented private government.

He changed the measurement system of Qi from the quadruple system (i.e., four liters for beans, four beans for districts, four districts for kettles, and ten kettles for bells) to a pentadecimal system, using the new system when borrowing grain from Li Shu, and using the old system when repaying loans.

Tian's benevolence is to the people, and the Qi Hou pestle is not forbidden.

Therefore, Tian was supported and loved by Li Shu of Qi State.

The hearts of the Chinese people are oriented to the Tian family, and the Tian family is becoming stronger and stronger......

However, you must know that the power of the Gong clan of Qi is not weak.

The forces relied on by the Lu family of the Duke of Qi were mainly the Gao family and the Guo family, and the Guo and Gao families and the Lu family were both from the surname Jiang, and they were all side branches of the Lu family after the Taigong of Qi.

In the long process of development of the Qi State, the Gao family and the Guo family have been the secretary of Qi for generations, and the Son of Heaven appointed the Qi State, and the Qi State has formed a situation in which the Lu family, the Gao family, and the Guo family jointly protect the Jiang surname!

Qingji looked at Tian Qi meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Tian Xiang, ten years to sharpen a sword." ”

"Rutian clan, since Tian Jingzhong, six generations have been in Taoguang for more than a hundred years, and they have been cultivating in Taoguang, accumulating thick and thin, and the Tian clan has been sharpening the sword for a long time, but there can only be one swing of the sword!"

"Please do it yourself. The widow has to advise you, if you are not completely sure, please continue to be patient and continue to sharpen your sword, so as to wait for a move and a successful battle. ”

“……”

Tian Qi fell silent again.

The Tian family has been a long process.

Ten years of sharpening a sword?

No!

This "sword" has been sharpened by the Tian family for more than 100 years.

But what Qing Ji said is true.

There is only one chance for the Tian clan to wield the sword, once it fails to succeed in replacing the Lu clan of the Qi State and making the Tian clan replace Qi, the Tian clan will inevitably be eradicated......

】

"Thank you King Wu for reminding me."

Tian Qi sighed, bowed to Qingji, and said, "It's a demon." ”

Hearing this, Qingji waved his hand and said: "Tian Xiang, for the matter of the Tian family's generation of Qi, the widow is not impossible to help, so that the Tian family is like the six secretaries of the Jin State, ranking among the princes. ”

Tian Dai Qi?

This is something that Qingji likes to see.

Of course, Qingji will inevitably not make the process of the Tian family replacing Qi too smooth, maybe the Wu State will have to intervene sideways at that time, so that the Qi State will be in chaos and the civil war will not stop, so that the Wu State can seek greater interests.

Tian Qi saw that the six secretaries of the Jin State could be ranked among the princes, and he was ambitious, so he was naturally unwilling to be left behind.

For Tian Qi's urgent mood, Qingji can also understand.

However, this is by no means a reason for Qingji to directly interfere in Qi's internal affairs!

He, the overlord of the princes, what he has to do now is not simply to coordinate all parties and make the princes of the world obey him.

If possible, why can't Qingji sweep away the princes and dominate the world?

……

After Tian Qi left, Qingji met with Fan Li, the imperial historian, and the great Yang Hu and the imperial historian in the Diaoyutai.

These three people, Qingji all gave them different tasks.

Fan Li was responsible for representing Qingji to negotiate with the Zhou royal family, balance all parties, and ensure the rights and interests of Wu.

On behalf of Qingji, Bo Biao was responsible for talking with Qin Bo and Yan Hou on behalf of Qing Ji, discussing the plan of planning the Central Plains and "respecting the king and conquering the emperor", and by the way, Qin and Yan strengthened trade exchanges with Wu and exchanged ideas.

Yang Hu was responsible for representing Qingji and meeting with Zhongshan Jun......

"Yang Hu, Zhongshan Jun's side, what are your requirements?"

Qingji took the fishing rod and put a carp into the bamboo basket, glanced at Yang Hu who was sitting behind him and asked.

"Returning to the king, the king of Zhongshan promised that if Zhongshan can be ranked among the princes and receive military assistance from Wu, he will sacrifice 1,000 good horses, 1,000 cattle, and 3,000 sheep to Wu, and establish trade with my Wu country."

Yang Hu bowed to Qingji and said, "In addition, Zhongshan Jun wants to use these livestock to trade chariots, silk, tea, salt, and some weapons and armor with my Wu Kingdom, and let Wu Kingdom send soldiers to Zhongshan Kingdom to teach the way of battle formation." ”
