Soon after Tian Wen's victory over Chu, Tian Bijiang, the king of Qi in the Eastern Kingdom, died of illness, and Tian Di, the king of Qi, ascended the throne. When King Qi was the crown prince, he was at odds with the nobleman Tian Jia, and Prime Minister Tian Wen and Tian Jia were very close, King Qi was displeased, and King Qi intended to depose Tian Wen.

There are two disciples under Tian Wen, one is called Ji Ming, the other is called Dog Thief, the two used to be apprentices of the upper and lower schools, and the junior disciples of Mang Mao, because of their greed for glory and wealth, they secretly left the upper and lower classes and took refuge in Tian Wen. When the news that Tian Wen did not like King Qi reached the ears of the two, the two ran to Tian Wen and said:

"Duke Xue is famous all over the world, and he has the great merit of defeating the Chu State, the king is afraid that your merit is high and he can't tolerate you, why don't you find another way!"

When Tian Wen heard this, he thought that instead of waiting for the king to depose me, I might as well leave him first, so as not to lose my face and make the world laugh, so he pretended to be indifferent and said:

"Find another way out?

"In addition to the Qi State in this world, the most powerful is the Qin State, and only the prime minister of the Qin State is worthy of Xue Gong's identity and talent! I heard that the Qin State's Zhu Lizi is bedridden, and the position of the right minister is about to be vacant, why doesn't Xue Gong go to Qin?" said Ji Ming.

Tian Wen was silent, and the dog thief said:

"We have a senior brother named Mang Mao, who was once deeply used by the first king of Qin, and now he has made a fortune in Qin, and he has a lot of connections up and down, so he can lobby for his son and ask the king of Qin to invite you to visit the prime minister of Qin!"

When Tian Wen heard it, it was not easy for the person who could make Yingsi reuse, so he said:

"Okay, let's give it a try!"

The two of them really went to Qin to find Mangmao, and Mangmao asked someone to tell the king of Qin that Tian Wen intended to enter Qin. At this time, Qin Wang Yingji had just become an adult, and he intended to recruit in person, but he was suffering from his mother Miri's control of the government, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty listened to his call.

After the well-intentioned Su Qin learned about this, Su Qin secretly told the King of Qi, and when the King of Qi heard it, he thought that I couldn't open my mouth if I drove you away, and you Tianwen wanted to leave by yourself, so I would help you. The king of Qi then secretly sent someone to contact the king of Qin, Yingji, and wanted to send Tian Wen to the state of Qin on the grounds of exchanging ministers to govern. Ying Ji felt that he had fulfilled his wish, and without telling his mother Mi Yue, he sent his brother Ying Fu, who was originally competing for the throne with him, to Qi and exchanged with Tian Wen.

Tian Wen traveled all the way west, and when he passed through Zhao State, he was invited to the house by Tian Buli. The two once worked together to refute Qu Yuan in Puyang, the capital of the country, and had some private contacts, so Tian Wen happily accepted the invitation. After Tian Wen arrived, Tian Buli invited Li Dui to accompany him, and the three of them drank and talked happily, and they were very happy!

When they were drunk, Tian Li and the others inevitably praised Tian Wen, and Tian Wen sighed and said:

"Don't hide it, brother, I have no choice but to go to Qin this time!"

"Why did Brother Tian say this? Didn't you drink too much?" Tian Buli didn't believe it at all, and laughed.

"The king is suspicious of me, and the villain of Su Qin provokes me, I left in a fit of anger!" Tian Wen pointed and said.

"Brother Tian is a great talent, everyone in the world strives for it, and they all pursue it! Now that Lizi's life is hanging by a thread, and the phase is hanging in the air, if it weren't for the King of Qin promising you the position of prime minister, how could you leave so easily? Don't make me wait!" Tian Buli shook his hand and laughed.

"The King of Qin does have a promise, but the Qin State is the Empress Dowager Mi in power! Gan Mao and others are deeply rooted, and it is not easy to be the prime minister!" Tian Wen shook his hand again and again.

"There are no people here, there is a place to keep people! Then Qin Xiang is not good, you can just go back to Qi State! Maybe as soon as you leave with your front foot, he will regret it with your back foot!" Tian Buli said.

"Now that I've come to this point, I can't turn back!" Tian Wen shook his head and sighed.

Li Dui looked at Lu Maoshou, and Lu Maoshou nodded to him, meaning that what Tian Wen said was true, and he did have a hard time, so he asked:

"It's just that King Qin promised, didn't the Empress Dowager have a promise?"

"Brother Li is confused! King Qin is the lord of a country, and Empress Dowager Mi is a woman, how can she make a promise?" Tian Wen was drunk, but he was not confused.

"Brother Tian's words are not bad! According to what Brother Tian said, can you rest assured that the Empress Dowager Mi's true intentions?" Li Dui asked again.

"Women are changeable! The Empress Dowager Mi is amorous, and she must be a difficult lord to get along with, who can say for sure?"

"It's not difficult to know her intentions!" Li Dui said and looked at Tian Buli.

As soon as Tian Buli heard this, he immediately said:

"This matter is wrapped up in my brother and me, but the Empress Dowager Mi has something to think about, I must know her thoughts!"

"How can you know her thoughts? Could it be that Brother Tian is her favorite? Or you just drank too much like me!" Tian Wen said, shaking his hand and laughing.

"Brother Tian! This matter is on me! I won't talk to you today, but I'll prove it to you tomorrow!" Tian Buli didn't say much when he saw that he was almost drunk.

On the second day, Tian Buli really let Tian Wen see Lu Maoshou's skills, and told Tian Wen to let Lu Maoshou follow him to Qin State. Tian Wen was stunned when he saw it, and his heart was greatly relieved. Tian Wen's fame moved the world, Li Dui naturally wanted to make friends with him, and Tian Buli and Lu Maoshou were inevitably stammered. At this time, Tian Buli was an official in Zhao State, and he had no real power, so he couldn't get much benefit, and with the big tree of Tian Wen, maybe it could be used as a better place to go in the future. Lu Maoshou was bent on restoring the Tianfu Sect, and at this time in Zhao State, it was difficult to exert it, so he naturally wanted to have another way out.

A few days later, Lu Maoshou took Fei Deng's master and apprentice to follow Tian Wen to Xianyang. After arriving in Xianyang, King Yingji of Qin entertained Tian Wen and others, and Tian Wen then presented a rare white fox skin to the Empress Dowager Miyue as a meeting gift, and asked King Qin to hand it over to her. King Qin accepted the fox skin for his mother, but he didn't say a word about worshipping the prime minister.

It turned out that King Qin secretly agreed to Tian Wen without telling his mother Mi Yue, but Mi Yue did not agree when he learned about it. Mi Yue saw that Tian Wen gave a generous gift when they met for the first time, and she was not grateful in her heart, but felt that this person had bad intentions. Yingji had no choice but to stabilize Tian Wen first and slowly find a way to persuade her mother.

For more than a month, Tian Wen saw that Yingji had no movement, and he was anxious, so he asked Lu Maoshou what was going on, and Lu Maoshou told him Yingji's true intentions. Tian Wenda heard that Lizi was bedridden, but he still had hope, so he had to ask someone to find the king of Qin, who had to tell the truth and promised to take him to see the queen mother.

Tian Wen took Lu Maoshou to see the Empress Dowager Qin, and Mi Yue saw that Tian Wen was not good-looking, short in stature, and the people around him were the same as him, so she immediately became disgusted, and deliberately talked about him left and right, without mentioning the matter of worshipping the prime minister. After Tian Wen returned, he asked Lu Maoshou again, and Lu Maoshou clearly replied to him, and the Empress Dowager Qin had no intention of letting him stay in Qin at all. Tian Wen was extremely disappointed when he heard this, and scolded the Empress Dowager Qin. The next day, Tian Wen and the others were about to leave, but Yingji hurried over and begged him to give him a few more days. Although Tian Wen was angry in his heart, he saw that the King of Qin was eager to seek talent and his attitude was sincere, so he stayed in Xianyang for a few more days.

Mi Ri couldn't resist his son Yingji, so he had to summon Tian Wen again, and set up a banquet to entertain him, and invited Gan Mao and Wei Ran to accompany him. At this time, Wei Ran won the trust of Mi Yue, and became brothers with Bai Qi. Bai Qi called Mi Yue his sister, and when outsiders patted on the back, he also called Wei Ran the younger brother of the Queen Mother, Wei Ran liked this title very much in private, and often called himself Uncle Qin. Wei Ran's scheming is deeper than his brother Wei Zheng, and much smarter than Wei Zheng, at this time it is the red man next to the Queen Mother, when he saw Tian Wen coming, the hostility in his heart was obvious, and he was quickly captured by Lu Maoshou.

After three rounds of drinking, Wei Ran spoke:

"Tian Xiang's family background is illustrious, he is in a high position, and the big things he is planning are earth-shattering, how can he have time to come to my Qin State to sit idle?"

Tian Wen heard him refer to him as "Tian Xiang", and his words were sarcastic, he was unhappy in his heart, and he held back his anger and said:

"Although I have a disagreement with the King of Qi, we are commensurate with each other, I heard that Lord Wei is in a high position, and he is on an equal footing with the Emperor, I don't know how to match the King?"

Tian Wen's words were neither yin nor yang, and he hit Wei Ran in several key points at once, Wei Ran was immediately furious, but he couldn't fight back, he gritted his teeth in anger, threw the wine cup off the table and left.

Mi Ri smiled at first sight:

"Being in a high position but being so breathless makes the adults laugh! The adults have come from afar, and there is a lot of neglect, I respect the adults!"

Mi Ri's words seemed to be insinuating, but they were impeccable, Tian Wen had to drink it all, only to listen to Mi Yue and say:

"I heard that there is a leftist doctor Qu Yuan in the state of Chu, handsome, talented, romantic, and desirable, but I offended the adult in Puyang! I am the princess of the Chu country, but I have never seen this person, I don't know what the adult thinks of this doctor Qu Yuan?"

As soon as Tian Wen heard this, another one came, so he had to calm his breath and said:

I heard that this person lobbied the king of Chu to change the law, causing the monarchs and ministers in the country to be separated and discordant, so there was a defeat in the sand, which is regrettable!"

Mi Yue smiled after hearing this, and Gan Mao couldn't help but say:

"The accumulation of evils in the Chu family is difficult to eliminate, and the king of Chu is resourceful and indecisive, which is the reason for the decline of the Chu State!

"In the past, when the Qin State Shang Yang changed the law, Gan Long led the clan to oppose it with all his might, but fortunately the first king was in the middle to reconcile, but it also greatly took care of the interests of the clan! Qu Yuan changed the law and beat him to death with a stick, causing the Chu country to fall apart and the people were panicked, how could he not be defeated?" Tian Wendao said.

"How can the courage and wisdom of the previous kings of Great Qin and the current kings of Chu be the same? The defeat of the Chu State is due to the struggle for power and wealth of the clans, and if the killer is not painful, the Chu State will be hopeless!" Gan Mao said indignantly.

"Hehe!" Tian Wen sneered and sat proudly.

"In the past Puyang Conference, Gan was also a party, and regardless of his talent, may I ask my lord, what is Qu Yuan's moral character?" Gan Mao said suddenly.

"Tian has no deep friendship with this person, so he doesn't dare to talk about it!" Tian Wen said proudly, implying that he did not agree with Qu Yuan.

"Hey, hey!" Gan Mao sneered, also sitting proudly.

Everyone didn't speculate, Qin Wang Yingji knew this in his heart, shook his hand and left the table. Tian Wen saw that the situation was not good, and he couldn't sit still, so he immediately said goodbye and left.

As soon as Tian Wen left, Wei Ran immediately came and said to Mi Yue:

"The Queen Mother! This person is narrow-minded, once he gains power in the future, he will definitely avenge today's revenge, and the minister asks to get rid of him!"

"Well, how can you see that?" Mi Yue wondered.

"Tian Wen has a deep foundation in the Qi State, if he is unwilling to leave, the King of Qi will not be able to get rid of him! Now that he has been humiliated in the Qin State, he will definitely return to the Qi State, and the King of Qi can only use him as a minister, I am afraid that it will not be good for my Qin State!"

"This person's name moves the world, if he dies in my Qin country, won't my Qin country become a sinner!"

"The Queen Mother has returned to the mountain, and it is too late to regret it!" Wei Ran said hurriedly.

When Mi Yue heard this, she looked at Lizi and Gan Mao, and Lizi said:

"Although the words are good, I can't let him die in my Qin country!"

"Be cautious in this matter, don't act rashly!" Mi Yue Zhengse said.

"Weichen understands!" Wei Ran bowed.

Tian Wen was angry, and on the way back, he scolded while walking, and Lu Maoshou suddenly said:

"My lord, this place is not suitable for a long time, it is better to leave as soon as possible!"

"Huh?" Tian Wen turned his head and doubted.

"Lord Wei is afraid that it will be unfavorable to the adults, so the adults must leave as soon as possible!" Lu Mao Shou said.

When Tian Wen heard this, he thought it was good, and hurriedly returned to the post house, packed up his things and was about to leave, when he remembered the rare white fox skin, so he asked the dog thief to steal it back. Before leaving, Tian Wen gave gold to the post house staff, saying that he was going out to drink, leaving some clothes and irrelevant entourage, and quickly slipped away with a few important people. When they arrived at the gate of Xianyang City, Lu Maoshou used a trick to deceive the guards, and everyone immediately got on their horses and left quickly.

At dawn, several people arrived at Hangu Pass, the pass has not yet opened, the rooster crows and learns to crow, causing the rooster at the pass to follow the crowing, so as to deceive the guards and open the gate of Hangu Pass. The guards saw that the group was in a hurry, and when they were about to interrogate, Lu Maoshou used his skills to make a difference, and everyone was able to get out.

When Wei Ran and Bai Qi led the soldiers all the way to Hangu Pass, it was already past noon, and they learned that Tian Wen and the others were already far away, so they had to return in vain.
