Chapter 74

Meng Changjun's name is Wen, and his surname is Tian.Wen's father was named Jing Guo Jun Tian Ying.Tian Ying is the youngest son of King Wei of Qi and the younger brother of King Xuan of Qi.Tian Ying has been in office since the time of King Wei, and together with Cheng Hou Zou Ji and Tian Ji, they rescued Han and defeated Wei.Cheng Hou and Tian Ji competed for favor, and Cheng Hou sold Tian Ji.Tian Ji was afraid, and attacked the border cities of Qi. He was defeated and fled.King Huiwei died, King Xuan was established, and when he knew Cheng Hou sold Tian Ji, he called Tian Ji back to him as a general.In the second year of King Xuan, Tian Ji, Sun Bin, and Tian Ying all attacked Wei, defeated Ma Ling, captured Wei Crown Prince Shen, and killed Wei general Pang Juan.In the seventh year of King Xuan, Tian Ying sent envoys to Han and Wei, and Han and Wei served in Qi.Ying, Han Zhaohou, and Wei Huiwang met Qixuan Wang Donganan, and left in an alliance.Next year, Fu will meet with King Hui of Liang.It's the age when King Hui of Liang died.In the ninth year of King Xuan, Tian Ying was in harmony.King Xuan of Qi and King Wei Xiang will meet in Xuzhou and meet the king.King Wei of Chu heard this and was angry with Tian Ying.Next year, the Chu army defeated the Qi army in Xuzhou, and Tian Ying was expelled.Tian Ying sent Zhang Chou to speak of King Wei of Chu, and King Wei stopped.In the 11th year of Tianying Xiangqi, King Xuan died and King Min ascended the throne.He ascended the throne for three years, and sealed Tianying in Xue.

At the beginning, Tian Ying had more than forty sons.His concubine has a son named Wen, who was born on May [-]th.The baby told his mother, "Don't lift it." His mother stole it and gave birth to it.And long, his mother saw her son Wen Yu Tianying because of her brother.Tian Ying said angrily to his mother, "If I ordered you to go away and dare to give birth to this son, why?" Huqi will be detrimental to his parents." Wen said: "Is life determined by heaven? Will it be determined by Huxie?" Ying was silent.Wen said: "You must be ordered by the sky, so why worry about it. You must be ordered by the household, and you can raise the ears of the household, who can reach it!" Ying said: "Son, you are dead."

For a long time, Wen Chengjian asked his father and baby: "What is the son of the son?" He said: "It is a grandson." "What is the grandson of the grandson?" "Wen said: "Your affairs are in harmony with each other. So far, there are three kings. If the Qi is not expanded, the monarch's private family is rich and rich, and there is not a single sage in the family. There must be generals in the family of Wen Wen, and there must be ministers in the family of ministers. Today, the emperor's harem The servants don’t get brown, the servants and concubines have more meat, but the scholars don’t tire of the dross. Today, you still have a lot of money left over, and you want to leave it to someone you don’t know, and forget that the affairs of the public are getting worse day by day, and the writing is strange.” So Ying Ying It is a courtesy text, so that the host's house treats the guests.The guests come in day by day, and the reputation is heard among the princes.All the princes sent people to ask Xue Gong Tianying to take Wen as the prince, and Ying promised him.Infant died, posthumously named Jing Guojun.And Wen Guo was established in Xue as Lord Mengchang.

Lord Mengchang was in Xue, and those who caused the guests of the princes and the dead to be guilty, all belonged to Lord Mengchang.Mr. Mengchang gave him a generous treatment in his career, and for this reason he loved the people of the world.There are thousands of diners, no one, no one, no one, no one, no one, etc.Mr. Mengchang entertained guests and sat talking, and behind the screen there was often a history of servants. The master recorded the conversations between the king and the guests, and asked relatives where they lived.When the guests left, Lord Mengchang had sent envoys to ask questions and sacrificed his relatives.Mr. Mengchang once entertained guests for dinner at night, and one person blocked the fire.The guest was angry and refused to wait for a meal, so he stopped eating and resigned.Meng Changjun rose up and compared himself with his own food.I am ashamed of the guest, and I am ashamed of myself.Most of the scholars belonged to Meng Changjun.The gentleman and guest of Mengchang had no choice but to meet him well.Everyone thinks that Mr. Meng Chang kisses himself.

King Zhao of Qin heard that he was a good man, so he first made Lord Jingyang a hostage to Qi, in order to see Lord Mengchang.Lord Mengchang is about to enter the Qin Dynasty, and the guests should not want to do what he wants, and will not listen to him if he advises him.Su Dai said: "Dan Dai came from outside today and saw people from Muyu and Tuyu talking to each other. People from Muyu said: "When the sky rains, you will be defeated." People from Tuyu said: "I was born in the soil, If you lose, you will return to the earth. Today it rains, and the wanderers go on, and it is unknown where it will stop. 'Today, Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and the king wants to go. If you can't return it, will you be laughed at by the people of Tuyu?" Mr. Mengchang said end.

In the 25th year of King Min of Qi, Lord Mengchang entered Qin Dynasty after his death, and King Zhao made Lord Mengchang the Prime Minister of Qin.People may say that King Qin Zhao said: "Mengchang is a virtuous king, and he is also from the Qi family. If he is now in charge of Qin, he must first Qi and then Qin. Qin is in danger." So King Qin Zhao stopped.He imprisoned Lord Mengchang and planned to kill him.Lord Mengchang sent people to Xingji, king of Zhao, to ask for a solution.Xing Ji said: "I would like to get the king's fox white fur." ​​At this time, Meng Changjun had a fox white fur, which was unparalleled in the world.Mr. Mengchang was troubled by it, and he asked all the guests, but he couldn't be right.At the bottom, there was a man who could steal the dog and said: "I can get the fox white fur." ​​Naiye was a dog and entered the Qin palace treasury.Xingji is the king of Yanzhao, and the king of Zhao is Shi Mengchangjun.Mr. Mengchang got it out, so he went away immediately, changed his biography, changed his name and surname to leave the customs.Arrive at Hangu Pass at midnight.King Qin Zhao regretted leaving Lord Mengchang, and asked for it, even if people rushed to chase him away.Lord Mengchang came to the pass, and when he passed the pass, the cock crowed and the guests left. Mengchang Lord was afraid of chasing him, and those who sat under the guest's residence could be the cocks.It is like a meal, Qin Zhuiguo is the most important thing, and after Meng Changjun came out, he returned it.At the beginning, Lord Mengchang listed these two people among the guests, and the guests were ashamed of them, and Lord Mengchang had difficulties in the Qin Dynasty, so these two people pulled them out after death.Since then, all customers have been convinced.

Mr. Mengchang passed Zhao, and Mr. Zhao Pingyuan visited him.When the people of Zhao heard that Mengchang was a sage, they all laughed and said: "At first, Xue Gong was regarded as the leader, but now I regard him as the ear of a young man." When Mengchang heard about it, he was angry.Those who came with all the guests went down and killed hundreds of people, and then wiped out a county.

King Min of Qi was not satisfied, so he sent Lord Mengchang with him.When the king of Mengchang came, he thought that he was a prime minister and took charge of the government.

Lord Mengchang resented Qin, and would use Qi as Han and Wei to attack Chu. Because of attacking Qin with Han and Wei, he borrowed troops to live in the Western Zhou Dynasty.The Su Dynasty was the Western Zhou Dynasty and said: "The king took Qi as Han and Wei attacked Chu for nine years, took Wan and Ye to the north to strengthen Han and Wei, and now re-attacks Qin to benefit them. Han and Wei have no worries about Chu in the south, and there is no Qin in the west. If there is trouble, Qi will be in danger. Han and Wei will despise Qi and fear Qin, and the ministers will be in danger. It is better for the king to let the town be deeply united with Qin, and the king will not attack, and he will not have to rely on soldiers. When the king comes to Hangu, there will be no attack. I ordered my township to call Qin Zhao Wang with the affection of the king, saying, "Xue Gong will not destroy Qin to strengthen Han and Wei. He also attacked Qin, and wanted the king to order the king of Chu to cut the eastern country to join with Qi, and Qin came out of Chu Huai Wang to think peace." The king ordered us Yi benefited Qin with this, and Qin was invincible and freed from the East, and Qin must desire it. The king of Chu came out, and he must be in harmony. Qi won the strength of the East, and Xue Shishi was safe. Qin is not too weak, But in the west of the three Jins, the three Jins must be unified." Xue Gong said: "Good." Because Han and Wei congratulated Qin, the three kingdoms were not attacked, and they did not borrow troops to support the Western Zhou Dynasty.At that time, King Huai of Chu entered Qin, and Qin kept him, so he must leave if he wanted to.Qin Buguo gave birth to King Huai of Chu.

Lord Mengchang is on par with each other, and Wei Zi, his family member, collects the town for Lord Mengchang, and the three will not be able to enter one.Lord Mengchang asked about it, and said to him: "There are sages, and I will steal and give them away, so as not to enter." Lord Mengchang was angry and retreated from Wei Zi.After living for several years, people might destroy Lord Mengchang to King Min of Qi, saying: "Your Majesty Mengchang will cause chaos." When Tian Jia robbed King Min, King Min doubted Lord Mengchang, and Lord Mengchang ran away.Wei Zi heard about it with Su Xian, and wrote a letter saying that Lord Mengchang would not cause chaos, please use yourself as an alliance, so he opened the gate of the palace to clarify Lord Mengchang.King Min was startled, but when asked about his traces, Lord Mengchang had no rebellion, so he called Lord Mengchang again.Mr. Meng Chang retired to Xue because of his illness.King Min Xuzhi.

Afterwards, the Qin Dynasty defeated Lv and Li together, trying to trap Su Dai.Dai Nai said that Meng Changjun said: "Zhou is the most generous in Qi, and the king of Qi pursues it, and those who listen to the relatives and relatives of Lu Li want to take Qin. When Qi and Qin merge, the relatives and Lu Li are more important. Qi and Qin must despise the king. It is better for the king to rush to the north, to pursue Zhao Yi and Qin and Wei, to accept Zhou's most generous deeds, and to oppose the trust of the king of Qi, and to prohibit changes in the world. If there is no Qin in Qi, the world will gather together, and relatives will surely If you go, whoever is the king of Qi will be your country!" So Lord Mengchang followed his plan, and Lu Li was jealous of Lord Mengchang.

Meng Changjun was afraid, but he left the Qin Xiang Ranghou Wei Ranshu and said: "I heard that Qin wants to collect Qi with Lu Li. Qi is a powerful country in the world, and sons must be light. Qi and Qin will take it to come to the Three Jins, and Lu Li will be with each other. This is the son who communicated with Qi to emphasize Lu etiquette. If Qi is free from the soldiers of the world, its sons will be deep. It is better to persuade the king of Qin to attack Qi. If Qi is defeated, I ask you to seal the son with what you get. When Qi is defeated, Qin fears the strength of Jin. , Qin must give priority to sons to take Jin. Jin is inferior to Qi and fears Qin, and Jin must give priority to sons to take Qin. It is the son who breaks Qi and thinks it is meritorious, and takes Jin as the most important; If Qi is not destroyed, if Lu Li is reused, the children will be very poor." So Ranghou said that King Zhao of Qin attacked Qi, and Lu Li died.

Later, King Min of Qi destroyed Song Dynasty, benefited from arrogance, and wanted to go to Lord Mengchang.Lord Mengchang was afraid, but he was like Wei.King Wei Zhao thought that he was the Prime Minister, and he joined Qin and Zhao in the west, and defeated Qi with Yan.King Min of Qi died in Ju, so he died.King Xiang of Qi was established, while Lord Mengchang stood among the princes and had no affiliation.Qi Xiang Wang Xinli, fearing Meng Changjun, and Lianhe, remarried Xue Gong.Wen died, posthumously named Meng Changjun.The princes fought to stand, and Qi and Wei destroyed Xue together.Meng Chang died without heirs.

At the beginning, Feng Huan heard about Meng Changjun's hospitality, so he sneaked over to see him.Lord Mengchang said: "Sir, you are far away from humiliation, so why teach literature?" ?” He replied: “Mr. Feng is very poor, he still has a sword ear, and he also has a scorpion. He flicks his sword and sings, ‘The long clasp is back, and there is no fish to eat.On the fifth day, I asked the head of the biography house again.The answer said: "The guest flicked his sword again and sang, 'Chang Chai has returned, and there is no public opinion'." Meng Changjun moved to the generation house, and went in and out by public transport vehicles.On the fifth day, Lord Mengchang asked the head of the biography house again.The head of the house replied: "Mr. tried to play the sword again and sang, 'Chang Chai is back, I can't think of home'." Meng Changjun was displeased.

Feng Huan had nothing to say during the year of residence.When Meng Changjun was at the same time, he sealed ten thousand households in Xue.It has 3000 diners.The income of the city is not enough to serve the guests, so people pay Xue.If you don't make money at the end of the year, there are many people who borrow money and can't pay interest, and the customer service will not give it.Lord Mengchang was worried about it, and asked his left and right: "Who can ask Xue to collect debts?" The head of the biography said: "The acting Sheke Feng Gong's description of his appearance is very controversial. The elder has no other tricks. It is appropriate to ask him to collect debts." Mr. Mengchang came to Feng Huan and invited him, saying: "The guests don't know how to write well. Fortunately, there are more than [-] people who came to visit the writer. The income of the city is not enough to serve the guests, so the money is paid to Xue. If Xue does not enter at the age of [-], the people will not rest with him. Today I'm afraid I won't give you food, and I hope you will be responsible." Feng Huan said, "No." Farewell, I went to Xue, and all those who summoned Mengchang Lord's money would meet, and I would get [-] yuan in interest.It is to make more wine, buy fat cattle, and call all those who can take money, those who can and those who can take interest will come, and those who can't will also come, and they will all hold the coupons for taking money.Qi for the meeting, the day kills cattle and buys wine.If you are drunk, you should hold the coupons as before, and those who can be with the rest will have a period of time; those who are poor and unable to be with the rest will take the coupons and burn them.Said: "The reason why Mr. Mengchang lends money is for the people, and those who have no one think it is their own business; so those who ask for interest, do not have anything to serve customers. Today, the rich give to the demanded period, and the poor burn the coupon book to donate it. Gentlemen Strong diet. If you have a king like this, how can you bear it!" Everyone who was sitting got up and bowed again.

When Lord Mengchang heard that Feng Huan had burned the coupons, he was so angry that he sent Zhao Huan.Huanzhi, Mr. Mengchang said: "There are 3000 Wen diners, so I loaned money to Xue. There are few Wenfeng towns, and there are still many people. If you don't take care of the time, the guests may not be enough, so please accept the responsibility. Mr. Wen got the money, That is to burn the certificates with a lot of ox wine, why?" Feng Huan said: "Of course. If there is not a lot of ox wine, the meeting cannot be completed. There is no way to know if there is enough or not. If there is more, it is the key period. If there is not enough, Although the ten years of keeping and taking responsibility, the more interest, the more urgent, that is, donate it by yourself. Therefore, Li Shimin honors the voice of the emperor. Burning useless coupons and donating money that cannot be obtained, so that Xue Min is close to the emperor and expresses the good voice of the emperor, what doubts do you have!" Mr. Mengchang thanked him with a hand.

The king of Qi was confused by the destruction of Qin and Chu, thinking that the name of Mengchang was higher than that of his master and he was good at the power of Qi, so he abolished Mengchang.When all the guests saw that Lord Mengchang was abolished, they all left.Feng Huan said: "Those who can enter the Qin Dynasty by borrowing a minister's car will make the king more important than the country and serve the city and benefit the city. Is it possible?" Lord Mengchang sent him with money for the car.Feng Huan said about the King of Qin and said: "Feng Shi, a traveler in the world, who entered Qin from the west, all wanted to strengthen Qin and weaken Qi; Feng Shi, who entered Qi from the east, all wanted to strengthen Qi and weaken Qin. This is a country of male and female. If there is no power, the male will be the male, and the male will win the world." The king of Qin asked in a hurry, "Why can Qin Wu be a female?" Feng Huan said: "The king also knows that the king of Qi will abolish Mengchang?" The king of Qin said: "I heard it." Feng Huan said: "The one who makes Qi more important than the world is Lord Mengchang. Now that the king of Qi wants to destroy and abolish him, his heart is resentful, and he must betray Qi; if he betrays Qi and enters Qin, then the love of Qi, the sincerity of personnel, and Qin will be entrusted to Qin. The land of Qi can be obtained, how can it be the male! The king is eager to send Zaibi Yin to welcome Lord Mengchang, so there is no time to lose. If Qi is enlightened and reuses Lord Mengchang, then the male and female will not be known." King Qin was very happy, and sent Ten chariots ride on a hundred yi of gold to welcome Lord Mengchang.Feng Huan remarked that he went first and went to Qi, saying that the king of Qi said: "All the scholars in the world, Feng Shi, who entered Qi in the east, all wanted to strengthen Qi and weaken Qin; Feng Shi, who entered Qin in the west, all wanted to strengthen Qin. Weak Qi. Husband Qin Qi is a male and female country, and Qin is strong and Qi is weak. There are no two heroes. Today, I heard that Qin sent envoys with ten chariots carrying a hundred yi of gold to welcome Mengchang. If Mengchang is not west, he will go west to Qin Then the world will return, Qin will be the male and Qi will be the female, and the female will be in danger in Linzi and Jimo. Why don’t the king return to Mengchangjun before the Qin envoy arrives, and thank him for his benefits? Mengchangjun must be happy and accept it. Although Qin is a strong country , How can you ask someone to meet you! Break Qin's strategy, and reject its strategy of domination." Qi Wang said: "Good." It is to make people wait for the Qin envoy.Qin sent the chariot to enter the Qi territory, and the envoy also rushed to tell it. The king called Meng Changjun to restore his position, and he benefited thousands of households from his former town.When the envoy of Qin heard that Lord Mengchang was back together, he returned the chariot and left.

Since King Qi destroyed and abolished Lord Mengchang, all the guests have gone.After he was called back, Feng welcomed him.Before he arrived, Mr. Mengchang sighed and said: "Wen is always hospitable. He never dares to lose when he meets a guest. There are more than [-] diners. I know it well. When the guests see that the text is ruined in a day, they all recite the text and go away. Don't care about the text. Now that Mr. Lai has been restored to his position, what face will the guest have when he sees Wen again? If he sees Wen again, he will spit on his face and humiliate him." Feng Huan tied his bridle and bowed down.Mr. Mengchang got out of the car to pick him up, and said, "Sir, thank you for the guest?" Feng Huan said, "It's not for the guest, but for the king's words. The husband and the things will come, and the things are there. Do you know it?" Mr. Mengchang said: "I don't know what it means to be stupid." He said: "The living must die, and the things must come. The rich and the rich, the poor and the widowed, it's true. Don't you see the people who are in the market? Mingdan, shoulder to shoulder Enter through the door; after sunset, those who pass by the market ignore it. It is not good for the morning but hates the evening, and forgets what you expect. Now that the king loses his position, all the guests are gone. It is not enough to complain about the scholars and cut off the way of the guests. May You meet guests as usual." Lord Mengchang bowed again and said: "I respect and obey your orders. Hearing what you say, how dare you refuse to follow my advice."

Tai Shigong said: I have tasted Xue, and there are many violent Jie children in his vulgar house, like Zou and Lu Shu.Asked why, he said: "Mr. Mengchang has attracted all the heroes in the world, and traitors have entered Xue Zhonggai's more than [-] families."
