I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 330 Tian's No Way Out
"The Zhi family is tyrannical and invades the land of Qi; diplomatic relations are useless, and the heart of Qi is clearly revealed!"

"The first time you offend me, you name me and kill me, and all the families belong to your lord."

"My family's strength may have the merits of the ancestors' hard work, and the merits of the adults are male and strong."

"Today, the Zhi family is outside, and the adults are inside. The public family has no virtue, and the Qi country has no salvation. If the heavens do not take it, they will bear the blame."

Tian Heng said that Zhi's invasion of Qi was an excuse to attack Tian, ​​but he was right.

The Zhi family used the pretext of crusade against the Tian family to invade the Qi state. In fact, it was helping the Tian family to become famous, and it made many families in the Qi state move closer to the Tian family, and even confuse the Dukes of the Qi state. High reputation, and even mastered unprecedented power.

It is said that Tian Qi has unprecedented power, the reason is that the previous Dukes of Qi were inferior in power when they were in power.

It is precisely because Tian Qi has a power far beyond the ruling power of previous dynasties, and has won the support of nobles with different surnames, and ganged up to persecute the Dukes of Qi, so that Qi could gather an army of [-] to compete with Wu Jun on the land of Lu.

If the Qi State hadn't lost so many troops in "Ai Ling", Tian Qi could only continue to pretend to be humble, and he would use other means to kill the king, so that he would not go to the field in person, and then fight with the Dukes of Qi State with real swords and guns.

Tian Qi looked at the agitated Tian Heng, but his own face was worried.

Things have developed to this point, even if the Dukes of the Qi State have not been wiped out, there are not many people left in their hands who can fight, which indeed makes the Tian family with the surname Gui the conditions to steal the country.

Tian Heng felt that the time had come, and if the Zhi Clan continued to invade, maybe the Zhi Clan would not be a hindrance, but a help.

"The Zhi family is tyrannical, how can you stop fighting?" Tian Qi asked.

Of course Tian Heng knew that the Zhi family was not that easy to deal with, and even believed that the Zhi family would make bigger moves in the future, but said: "Now that things have come to an end, there is no way out. Going forward, there may be a turning point."

The Zhi clan launched a war against the Qi State by clamoring to destroy the Tian clan, but it has been engaged in the cause of siege for a long time.

Looks like Zhishi is just making an excuse, right?
They are contemporary people, and they are very clear about the fact that Zhishi must have a beginning and an end when he shouts like that, otherwise no one will be afraid of Zhishi, and if Zhishi wants to stop, he has to pay unimaginable benefits.

Tian Qi closed his eyes and said in pain, "It's Dai Qi, An Neng, please forgive me?"

Okay, just lift the cover and stop hiding.

Why is Tian Qi in pain?The main reason is that, as Tian Heng said, Tian was forced into a corner!
This time, the battle between the Duke of Qi and the Tian family was actually driven by a pair of behind-the-scenes hands.

The Duke of Qi wanted to fight to the death, so it is impossible for the Tian family not to resist and be beaten to death, isn't it?

According to Tian Qi's train of thought, the Tian family has already weakened the public clan to the utmost, and it is Xirun's turn to silently control all aspects of the Qi state, waiting for the chaos of the other countries to be unable to pay attention to the Qi state, and then the Tian family will take action against the state.

No one can predict how long that process will take. One day when the Tian family controls the country of Qi, that day will come.

"Doctor Yin must be a pawn of the Zhi family. If I tell him to tell the Zhi family that he is willing to share the Qi kingdom equally with him, can it be saved?" Tian Heng asked.

Tian Qi gave a cruel answer: "It is not reasonable for Qi to destroy the guards."

Tian Heng asked again: "If I am a minister of Qi, will I be spared?"

This field beggar is more uncertain.It's not that he didn't test Zhong Xingyin. For example, Tian put Qi Guo on a plate and gave it to Zhi Zhi with both hands. As a result, Zhong Xingyin pretended to be stupid at the time, and Zhong Xingyin didn't give Tian any feedback afterwards.

What does that prove?The Zhi family wants to destroy the Tian family, and even more wants to annex the Qi country!

Tian Qi, who came to such a conclusion, couldn't understand it. Obviously, once Tian Qi cooperated, it would make it easier for the Zhi family to annex the Qi country. Why didn't the Zhi family agree?It just doesn't make sense!
Therefore, Tian Qi began to recall what Tian had offended Zhi Zhi, so that Zhi Zhi insisted on destroying Tian, ​​or what he did was exposed.

In fact, it's nothing else, it's not that the surname Tian's name in the history books is too famous, which makes Zhiyao very afraid that once the Tian family is absorbed, one day it will be replaced by the Zhi surname Ji.

Tian Qi's face changed again and again, and finally said: "I'm going to 'Tan'."

The news about Qi Junren's serious injury and death has not been sent to "Linzi", but the fact that Qi Junren was sheltered by the Zhi family in "Tan" is well known.

Tian Heng said: "Since the Zhi family robbed the king, how can the king return to the country?"

It's also really funny to say.

Qi Junren left "Linzi" relatively easily, announced the news of Tian Qi's murder of the king (Qi Yugong), and defined the Tian family and his followers as rebellious.

Thought it was just that?Qi State also asked for help from Jin State, Wu State, Lu State and surrounding countries, and invited Huimeng to fight against rebellion together.

There is only one difference between this scene and the drama of the Jin State more than ten years ago, that is, the king and the princes of a country actively invite other countries to interfere in their internal affairs.

From a certain point of view, it is true that the strength of the Dukes of the Qi State has weakened too much, and the Tian family has also become powerful, and then the Dukes of the Qi State of this generation are really too stupid.

"It's not to welcome back to the emperor, but to go to die." Tian Qi said very decisively.

Tian Qi knew what his son was thinking.

Tian Heng felt that the greed of the family of Jin Guoqing might really be able to turn the situation around with benefits, so that the Zhi family gave up continuing to target the Tian family?

Therefore, Tian Qi had to tell what he had concealed before, and said: "I am willing to be a minister of the Jin State, and offer the State of Qi to the Zhi family. There has been no reply for a long time."

Tian Heng was stunned.

Before, Tian Heng felt that he was so generous that he was willing to give the territory of Qi State to Zhi Shi, and Tian Shi would use the other half of Qi State to restore the country. How could he think that his father wanted to give the entire Qi State to Zhi Shi? Shi did not get a reply.

What restoration?The Tian family is the surname of Gui, and the Chen State with the surname of Gui was destroyed by the Chu State a few years ago.Tian Qi is one of the public clans of Chen Guo, and it can be said that it is a backdoor re-listing.

"Why?" Tian Heng really didn't understand.

Tian Qi didn't know either, and it was useless to hide some things until now, so he said, "Maybe I found out that the assassination was done by me."

what! ?

Tian Heng was frightened and angry at first, then depressed, and murmured: "The assassination of Zhi's father and son was done by my family..."

Tian Qi said: "I am not the only one. The Chu State, the Zhao family, and the Wei family are all assassinated."

Is it real, or is it fake, or did Tian Qi guess it himself?

Tian Henghuo stood up and said excitedly: "Since that's the case, why not make Mr. Zhi a target of public criticism?"

The train of thought is obviously correct.

As long as you have evidence that Chu, Wei, and Zhao were all involved in the assassination, if it is exposed, Jin will fall into civil strife again. If Chu joins in, Zhi's self-protection will become a problem. Do you want to let go?
Tian Heng asked rather incomprehensibly, "Why did your lord assassinate Zhi's father and son?"

Tian Qi said with a wry smile: "Ji Yao is determined not to kill me. If I act, Jin will benefit from chaos. Furthermore, if there is chaos in Jin, the Wu army will not invade me, and Wu will invade Jin. Go and assassinate him." People, there is absolutely no possibility of implicating my family. Without this certainty, how could I do this. I really don’t know why it was revealed.”

I can only say that the idea is still correct.

After all, the princes have long had enough of Jin's repression, and tacitly made trouble for Jin.

Tian Heng said: "If there is no evidence, it can spoil the situation!"

Tian Qi shook his head and said: "Without evidence, there may be a gap between the Zhi family and the Wei family, and there will be no possibility of chaos."

Zhishi is expanding eastward.

The Wei family expanded in the south.

Both families have their own core interests, and the Tian family can't come up with any real evidence. Even if the Wei family really participated in the assassination of Zhi's father and son, when have you ever seen a big family attack and kill each other so casually?
At that time, not only the Zhi family will yell at the Tian family, but the Wei family will definitely participate.

Tian Heng felt that his father was completely confused, and said: "The matter has come to this point, the Zhi family is beyond my power to stop, what will happen if there is one more Wei family? There is only a slight possibility, the Zhi family and the Wei family will attack each other , I may live!"

Tian Qi needs to admit that Tian Heng may be right, even if he is wrong, he should try.

There is just one thing, the young Tian Heng chose to do everything completely, but Tian Qi thought that even if the Tian family lost power, some clansmen could escape.

Now is the Spring and Autumn Era, which is really not an era where "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit". The winner may not be able to take everything, and his reputation may be bad; will be slaughtered.

According to Tian Heng's approach, the Tian family may usher in a turning point, but what is certain is that if they fail, the end will be even worse.

"Your Majesty is in 'Tan', so the Lord of the Zhi family must be there; if you go to 'Tan' for your father, it will be a matter of improvisation." Tian Qi said.

Seeing Tian Qi's resolute attitude, Tian Heng was silent for a while before he said: "Heng Migration is headed east. If there is nothing to do, is it possible to go to sea?"

Qi State can also build ships, but they are smaller than those of Chu State and Wu State, and they can still sail on the sea in calm weather.

That was one of the retreats that the Tian family prepared. At worst, let the clansmen go to sea, go to the island that has been secretly managed for a long time to escape the world, and return to the Central Plains after a few generations, or find a new way out in other directions in the sea.

After the decision was made, Tian's father and son acted vigorously and resolutely.

Tian Qi heard the news that Qi Junren was seriously injured and died on the way, so he did not set foot on his way back, and continued to march towards "Tan" with a more determined mood.

As for Zhiyao, when she learned that Tian Qi had come to "Tan" in person, especially when Tian Qi came with only a hundred guards, she couldn't help but get a bad face.

"If Ruoyao's prediction is not bad, Tian Qi will come here to say who will be assassinated. There must be Wei, Wu and Chu must be one of them, or both." Zhiyao became a prophet again.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess.

The Tian family wanted to survive the desperate situation, and there was no hope in terms of force resistance, so they could only rely on their mouths.

Is there anything that can make Zhishi intolerable?Only the murderer who assassinated Zhishen and Zhiyao emerged.

As for who carried out the assassination, Zhishi never gave up looking for the murderer, but he couldn't find strong evidence.

Zhishen is no longer in "Tan", he needs to return to "Xintian" to take charge of state affairs, and Zhi's affairs cannot be left alone for long.

Therefore, Tian Qi came to "Tan" and couldn't see Zhishen, but found that it was Zhiyao who was in "Tan", and Zhishi had already assembled an army in "Tan".

This discovery made Tian Qi's heart sink uncontrollably, it seemed that he could not sink to the bottom.
