Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 711

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

why?
Because Tian Qi knows that it is Qingji and Wu who can help him "replace Qi" and rank among the princes!
Since Han, Zhao, Wei, Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China can be divided into Jin, why can't the Tian family replace Qi?

"King Wu, thanks to your help, King Wu, I am able to become the Prime Minister of Qi State and assist the state affairs."

Tian Qi said with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "Over the years, I have benefited from the power of the country and cultivated Tian's power secretly. At the same time, when collecting taxes from Qimin, I used small buckets to collect them, and when I lent Qimin grain, I used big buckets to loan them out. , imposing sinful virtue on the people of the country..."

"In Qi State, my Tian family is already the dominant family, and the Guo family and the Gao family are incomparable."

"I believe that the motto of the Tian family replacing Qi can be realized. The time is ripe, and I wonder if the King of Wu can help the Tian family?"

"If things come to fruition, the Tian family will definitely be in charge of Wu for generations, with Wu as the main state, and exchange what's needed."

Hearing this, Qingji had a faint smile on his lips, and said, "Tian Xiang, do you really think that the time is ripe?"

"This……"

Tian Qi bit his head and said: "King Wu, even if the Tian family can't replace Qi now, they can go a step further."

Qingji glanced at Tian Qi, and said slowly: "The Lu clan of the Qi State has enjoyed Guozuo for more than five hundred years, and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Of course, the Ru Tian clan, from the generation of Tian Jingzhong (Tian Wan), has six generations. With hard work, the Tian family has finally become the largest family in the Qi country, and now it has won the hearts of the Qi people."

"Of course, there is only one chance. Tian Xiang really thinks the time is ripe?"

"..."

Tian Qi was silent.

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

Because of the incident of "Quwo replacing Yi", the state of Jin massacred the descendants of the offspring of the Duke's clan, that is, the Huanzhuang clan, during the time of Jin Xiangong, which led to the decline of the Duke's family.

Qi State is different.

Although the power of the public clan in Qi State is not very strong, Qihou (Qi Jinggong) is still the monarch in charge of power. With Qihou here, how dare Tian Qi make a mistake?

Why did the Tian family replace Qi?

From Tian Wan to Qi when he was a worker, to Tian Huanzi serving Qi Zhuanggong and being favored, it has been a full 120 years.

The Lu family has experienced nine generations of monarchs including Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wugui, 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 practiced private government and competed with the Marquis of Qi for popular support.

The current Qihou Chujiu is a king of extravagance, especially in his later years, he likes to rule the palace, gathers dogs and horses, likes extravagance and imposes heavy punishments.

The cloth, silk, millet, and millet in the warehouses of the public office were all rotten, and worms were born.

As a result, the abnormal phenomenon of "the cities of the country, the cheap and the expensive" has appeared in Qi State.

In case of disaster, Qihou did not go to help.

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

He changed the Quantity System of Qi State from Quaternary System (that is, four liters are beans, four beans are districts, four districts are pots, and ten cauldrons are bells) to five-ary systems. When using the old system.

The Tian family gave kindness to the people of the country, and Qi Hou Chujiu did not prohibit it.

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

The people of the country turn to the Tian family, return to the Tian family, and the Tian family is becoming stronger and stronger...

However, one must know that the power of the public clan in Qi State is not weak.

The strength of the Lu family of the Duke of Qi is mainly the Gao family and the Guo family. The Guo and Gao families share the Jiang surname with the Lu family. They are all offshoots of the Lu family after the Duke of Qi.

During the long development process of Qi State, the Gao family and the Guo family have been appointed by the emperor for generations, and Qi has formed a situation where the Lu family, the Gao family, and the Guo family jointly protect the country with the Jiang surname!
Qingji looked at Tian Qi meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Master Tian, ​​you have sharpened your sword in ten years."

"The Rutian family, since Tian Jingzhong, six generations have been keeping a low profile for more than 100 years, accumulating thick and thin, Tian's sword has been sharpened for a long time, but the sword can only be swung once!"

"Please Tian Xianghao do it for yourself. I have no choice but to advise you, if you are not sure, please continue to be patient and sharpen your sword, so that you will succeed in the first battle."

"..."

Tian Qi fell silent again.

It can be described as a long process for the Tian family to replace Qi.

Ten years to sharpen a sword?
Do not!
This "sword" has been honed by Tian for more than 100 years.

But what Qingji said was true.

There is only one chance for the Tian clan to wield the sword. Once the Lu clan of Qi cannot be successfully replaced and the Tian clan replaces Qi, the Tian clan will definitely be eradicated...

"Thank you, King Wu, for reminding me."

Tian Qi sighed, bowed to Qingji and said, "I'm bewildered."

Hearing this, Qingji waved his hand and said, "President Tian, ​​regarding the matter of Tian's replacing Qi, the widow may help me, so that Tian's rank among the vassals like the six ministers of Jin."

Is Tian Shi Daiqi?
This is something that Qingji likes to hear.

Of course, Qingji will definitely not make the process of Tian's replacing Qi go too smoothly. Maybe Wu will intervene, causing Qi to be in chaos and the civil war will continue, so that Wu can seek greater benefits.

Tian Qi saw that the six ministers of the state of Jin could all rank among the princes, so ambitious, he was naturally unwilling to be left behind.

Qing Ji can understand Tian Qi's urgent mood.

However, this is by no means a reason for Qingji to directly interfere in Qi's internal affairs!
As 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 wipe out the princes and rule the world?
……

After Tian Qi left, Qingji met Fan Li, the doctor of the censor, as well as Ling Yanghu of Da Xing and Bo Tong, the prime minister of the censor, at Diaoyutai.

For these three people, Qingji gave them different tasks.

Fan Li is responsible for representing Qingji in talks with the Zhou royal family, balancing all parties, and ensuring the rights and interests of Wu.

Bo Tong was responsible for representing Qingji in talks with Uncle Qin and Marquis Yan, discussing the strategy of "respecting the king and fighting against barbarians" in the Central Plains. By the way, Qin and Yan strengthened trade exchanges with Wu and exchanged information.

Yang Hu is in charge of representing Qingji and meeting with Mr. Zhongshan...

"Yanghu, Mr. Zhongshan, what request do you have?"

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

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhongshan promised that if Zhongshan could become a vassal and receive Wu's military aid, he would dedicate a thousand good horses, a thousand cows, and three thousand sheep to Wu. Wu to establish trade relations."

Yang Hu bowed to Qingji and said: "In addition, Mr. Zhongshan wants to use these livestock to trade military chariots, silk, tea, salt, and some weapons and armor with Wu State, and ask Wu State to send soldiers to Zhongshan. The country teaches the way of battle."
