The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Since Sun Bin told Tian Ji, he must quickly send envoys to Qin to form an alliance with Qin. Tian Ji ignored Qi Gong's prohibition and broke into the harem.

As a result, he was stopped by the soldiers at the palace gate. Tian Ji was furious, so he knelt in front of the palace gate and shouted:"If you don't see me, I will keep kneeling here until I die!" When a guard saw Tian Ji like this, Then he went to the harem alone to report to Qi Gong Tian Wu.

At this time, Qi Gong Tian Wu was still addicted to the gentle village and couldn't extricate himself! Suddenly, a guard came in and said:"Your Majesty, the general has come to ask for an audience!"

Tian Wu heard Tian Ji coming to ask for an audience in bed and said in a daze:"Tell him to come to me tomorrow!" Shiwei said without leaving. :"Your Majesty, the general said that if you don't come out to see him, he will kneel in front of the palace gate until he dies!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Wu could only get up and put on his clothes, and said angrily:"He, Tian Ji, won't I take it seriously, come with me to see what Tian Ji is up to!"

Just as Tian Wu was about to get up, Mingzhu said,"Your Majesty, he is just a minister, why should you take it to heart and just ask someone to drive him away! Otherwise, he is just a minister. I will ignore you!"

Mingzhu turned her head away from Tian Wu. When Tian Wu heard this, she seemed to be angry, and he hugged her quickly and advised:"Okay, don't be angry, honey. I'll stay with you alone, no. Let's go, how about a smile."

Mingzhu glanced at him and said,"Your Majesty, you'd better go see that minister. I don't need your company, I can just stay alone!"

Tian Wu looked at Unable to persuade him, he said again:"Okay, don't be angry. It's Gu's fault. Don't be angry!" Mingzhu didn't say a word. Tian Wu suddenly resented Tian Ji and ordered to the guard:"Someone come and take Tian Ji away." Drive me out of the palace gate and don't allow him to get even half a step closer to the palace gate!"

The guard wanted to dissuade him, but seeing that Tian Wu was already angry, he had no choice but to retreat.

Outside the palace gate, Tian Ji kept kneeling. Finally, the palace door opened and a guard came out and said:"General, I'm sorry, your Majesty doesn't want to see you. Please come and ask the General to return to the palace!"

Soldiers on both sides rushed over, He directly picked up Tian Ji and pulled him into the carriage. Tian Ji yelled:"Faint Lord, if you act like this, Qi will be destroyed by you. Wei has captured me, the king of Qi. Have you forgotten this shame? Do you still want to Be the next king to be killed by Wei!"

(During the period of Marquis Wen of Wei, Duke Kang of Qi was captured by Marquis Wei of Wei, and was brought to the Emperor of Zhou to be canonized as a prince for the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei. The title of Qi State was also changed from Duke to Marquis. Finally he starved to death.)

Tian Ji was driven into a carriage by the soldiers and drove him back to his house! The people who were watching along the way saw General Tian Ji being held down on the carriage by soldiers, and they rushed all the way back to his house! Some people also started talking, not knowing what happened. The dignified general of a country was pinned down on a carriage by soldiers!

In the palace, Tian Wu was still trying to persuade Mingzhu not to be angry. Seeing that he was upset and anxious, he said to the guards:"Hurry up and ask Tian Gu to come see me!"——yes!

After a while, Tian Gu came to pay homage hurriedly:"I have seen you, sir. I wonder why you have asked me to come here this time?" Tian

Wu saw Tian Gu coming, and hurriedly came over and asked,"brother, what do you want? How can I make women happy?"

Tian Gu thought for a while and said,"What women like is nothing more than tall and gorgeous houses, all kinds of rare treasures, and all kinds of expensive spices. Jun As long as he builds a tall palace for the beauty, inlaid with all kinds of treasures, and coats the walls with expensive spices, the beauty will naturally be happy. Oh, by the way, he will also give him a precious carriage with The car body is made of ivory, the frame is made of golden nanmu, and the roof is made of bronze with gold inlaid inside. There is no woman in the world who will not be unhappy because of these two things!" After hearing this, Tian Wu laughed and said,"My dear brother, you still understand me. Come on. People immediately built new palaces and carriages, and ordered the whole country to collect all kinds of rare and precious treasures!"

After hearing this, the guard on the side said:"Your Majesty, the country has just fought with the Chu State not long ago. The country is weak, so it is better not to build a new palace. Okay." Tian Wu said angrily:"I am the king, or you are the king! If I say build it, build it!"——Yes!

In Tian Ji's house, Sun Bin was teaching Tian Pan and Sun Sheng the art of war. Suddenly he saw Tian Ji being carried back to the house by more than a dozen soldiers, and fell heavily to the ground. Then the soldiers held their hands and said:"General, I'm sorry, this It's your Majesty's order, we can't disobey it!" After saying that, he left!

Sun Bin saw Tian Ji in such a mess, laughed loudly, and asked:"Brother Tian Ji, what's the matter with you? Why are you driven like a lost dog!"

Tian Ji looked at Sun Bin angrily and said,"Mr. Sun Bin , please stop joking. Your Majesty didn’t see me and even kicked me out. We can’t send envoys to Qin without your Majesty’s orders. Mr. Sun Bin, please think of a solution quickly!" Sun

Bin He said thoughtfully:"Brother Tian Ji, I have a plan to get your Majesty to send an envoy to Qin, but are you willing to put aside the past feud with someone you hate very much?"

Tian Ji said:"As long as you can get your Majesty to agree. If you send an envoy to Qin, you can even ask me to die!"

Sun Bin said:"Go to Zou Ji and ask him to see your Majesty, and you will definitely get your Majesty to send an envoy to Qin!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Ji said hurriedly :"Mr. Sun Bin, what's your plan? Zou Ji and I are at odds with each other, and I despise him. He can please you with his appearance. In the entire Qi court, I despise him the most. Why should he? He can win the favor of the prince just by his appearance, how can he win the favor of the king just by his mouth! I, Tian Ji, worked hard to fight, but he was better. He only raised two opinions at home and advocated It is a new round of reforms for the State of Qi. It has not been the same after all the changes!"

Sun Bin said seriously:"Brother Tian Ji, if you want to be the king, please agree with us to send envoys to the State of Qin. Only Zou Ji can make the king I agree!"

After Tian Ji heard this, he said with a depressed look on his face:"Mr. Sun Bin, it's not that I don't want to, but the main thing is that Zou Ji doesn't want to see me either. One time I went to his house, and he even let the dog out. Come and bite me!"

Sun Bin thought for a moment and said,"I heard that Zou Ji likes pearls. Do you have any precious pearls for him? If so, he should agree!"

Tian Ji said helplessly:"Mr. Sun Bin, Do you think I am a rich person? My whole family is not as big as Zou Ji's toilet!"

Sun Bin also said:"Indeed, brother Tian Ji, your family does not look like a rich person. After all, Zou Ji The toilet in his toilet is made of jade, and you can't get any good pearls."

Tian Ji scratched his head and asked puzzledly:"Mr. Sun Bin, why do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes Zou Ji so much?"

Sun Bin said no. He said angrily:"If you were as beautiful as him and spoke like him and could turn straw into gold, His Highness the Crown Prince would also like you! You must know that Zou Ji is the second most handsome man in Qi State! And others can play the piano, paint, and write poems!"

Tian Ji asked again:"Mr. Sun Bin, do you have any other ways? The kind that doesn't require money."

Sun Bin thought for a while and said,"There is one way, and that is to support Zou Ji will serve as the prime minister of Qi!" After hearing this, Tian Ji sighed and said,"Okay, using this method, I support Zou Ji as the prime minister of Qi!"

In Zou Ji's mansion, Zou Ji was saying complimentarily:"Your Highness, the Crown Prince , your paintings are getting better and better! I feel a little inferior to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The person sitting in front of the table is none other than Tian Yinqi, the Crown Prince of Qi (Tian Yinqi is the future King Wei of Qi) ) Tian Yinqi put down his hand and said with a smile:"Zou Ji, I love what you say the most. When I become the king in the future, I will definitely make you the prime minister!"

Zou Ji quickly complimented and said:"Then thank you His Highness the Crown Prince for your appreciation!"

At this time, a guard came in and said,"Master Zou Ji, Tian Ji has come to see you!" When Zou

Ji heard that it was Tian Ji, he wanted to drive him out, but the prince was there again, so he could only say:"Let him come in!" Tian

Yinqi, who was on the side, heard something unintelligible and asked,"Zou Ji, do you dislike Tian Ji?" Zou

Ji quickly explained:"Your Highness, how could I not like Tian Ji? He is the general of our Qi State. I have to compliment him even if I don't like him!" After finishing speaking, he pretended to be pitiful.

Tian Yinqi looked at him as if he was a little sad and said:"Well, since Tian Ji is at odds with you, if he troubles you, just go to this prince, who happens to be the prime minister of Qi State now. There is no vacancy. When I go back today, I will call you father-in-law and make you the prime minister!"

When Zou Ji heard this, he quickly said:"Thank you very much, Your Highness. I will definitely follow Your Highness to the death! Tian Yinqi waved his hand and said,"Zou Ji doesn't have to be like this. Go fishing with me tomorrow!""——Yes!

At this time, Tian Ji had also walked in and heard the words of His Highness the Crown Prince. He was speechless in his heart. He looked at Zou Ji and was very dissatisfied. However, he quickly saluted and said,"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Tian Yinqi said nothing. , but just paint on his own. Zou Ji asked angrily:"Tian Ji, what do you want from me?"

Tian Ji knelt directly in front of Zou Ji:"Brother Zou Ji, although we are not on good terms, the Qi State has now reached a critical stage of survival. Now you are the only one who can save Qi State. As long as you can allow your Majesty to send envoys to Qin State to form an alliance with Qin State, I will definitely support you as Prime Minister!"

Zou Ji was also shocked by this kneeling, but Tian Ji did not expect that in order to ask for He actually knelt down directly! Zou Ji quickly helped Tian Ji up and said,"Brother Tian Ji, there is gold under my knees. Brother Tian Ji is willing to support me as the prime minister. I will definitely ask you!" When

Tian Ji heard this, Zou Ji agreed, got up directly and said,"Then Thank you brother Zou Ji!"

The prince Tian Yinqi on the side also heard Tian Ji's words, and stood up and said:"Tian Ji, since it is for the sake of the prince of Qi State, he is obligated to do so. After returning, he also persuaded his father-in-law to send envoys to Qin State to communicate with Qin State. Form an alliance!" Tian Ji quickly bowed down and said,"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!"

Zou Ji also said,"Since Brother Tian Ji is here, come and have dinner with us. After all, it’s almost lunch time!" Tian Ji quickly held up his hands and said,"Then. Respect is better than obeying orders!"

Early the next morning, Qi Gong Tian Wu passed an imperial edict directly to Tian Ji's house. Tian Ji took the edict and looked at it, and happily said to Sun Bin:"Mr. Sun Bin, your Majesty agreed! Unexpectedly, this Zou Ji actually How did he get your Majesty to agree?"

Sun Bin said angrily:"It depends on your mouth. Of course, if you had his eloquence, you could have made your Majesty give orders yesterday!"

Tian Ji said bitterly:"Mr. Sun Bin, I am only good at commanding armies on the battlefield, but not those things!"

Sun Bin sighed:"Brother Tian Ji, brother Tian Ji, you not only need to read some military books, but also read the Book of Songs to improve yourself. Your sentiment, otherwise, no one will want to listen to you in the future!"

Sun Bin said again:"Tomorrow I will ask my son Sun Sheng to go to Qin!"

Tian Ji looked in the direction of Wei and murmured:" I think back then, the Wei State occupied so much of our Qi State's land and even captured our king, now the Wei State has good things to eat!"
