By the time of the mid-year festival, the resentment of the people of Linzi City had reached the highest.

In the middle of the year, the Marquis of Qi must preside over it.

In terms of etiquette, by the middle of the year, its sound palace. The palace of the yellow bell in the law, its number five, its taste is sweet, and its smell is fragrant.

It slips in the ritual and sacrifices to the heart. Take the road, drive the yellow horse, carry the yellow flag, wear yellow clothes, and wear topaz. Eat millet and cattle, and its utensils are rounded with Hong.

For this sacrifice, Qi Hou needed to walk along the main road of Linzi and wear a yellow dress.

The attendants are in a column of five people, all holding yellow flags, and they need to go to the temple to worship, the sacrifice is millet and cow, and the ritual vessel of the sacrifice should be large and round.

Drumming and blowing sheng all the way, when they reached a bridge, a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd, holding a sword and wanting to stab Qi Hou.

There was only one person, and besides, his martial arts were sparse, and he was quickly captured.

The people gathered on both sides to watch, and the captive man's face did not change, and Qi Xiangtian interrogated him in front of everyone, asking him why he wanted to assassinate the prince.

The man saw that everyone was gathered, and Qi Hou's car was driving on the bridge, and there was no way out, and he knew that this was the time that the "master" needed.

In front of everyone, when Tian He asked him why he had committed the assassination, he shouted loudly...... Not to say it to Qi Hou, but to say it to these people.

"I assassinate the prince today, and I know that I will die."

"In the past, Yu let Zhao Xiangzi stab, saying, the soldier is the one who knows himself, and the woman is the one who pleases himself. I thought that this corporal too. ”

"Sgt., die for the benefit of the country and the people. Therefore, I have no confidant, no master, and I just assassinate the prince for the sake of all the people of Qi country. ”

"Since the monarch ascended the throne, he has done many evil policies."

"The bones of the countrymen are 30,000 and they do not accept them, but they drink sweet liquor; He was not ashamed to participate in the ride of the king of Yue, and smiled instead; Meng Zhuze's alliance broke the covenant, so that the gods resented; There is not enough food and no salt for civilian use, and it is still harsh...... This is all harmful to the people's government. ”

"I died for the people of Liqi country, and I died as I deserved, and I have no regrets!"

His generous statement was originally intended to be heard by the people who watched the play, so the voice was very loud, and Tian He did not stop it.

After he finished speaking, those who were in charge of acting applauded loudly one by one, and those who didn't know the truth and really watched the play also applauded, and for a while, they were really brave and brave.

After hearing this, Tian He waited for everyone to calm down, and then sighed: "Seeking for the benefit of the people is for righteousness, and I killed you for injustice; Assassinating the prince is for rebellion, and I don't kill for the sake of the prime minister, and it is for disloyalty. ”

"Unfaithfulness and unrighteousness, if one or the other, do not be alike. Now I can only choose one of the two, I might as well not do this! ”

He let out a long sigh, his face showing a look of concern for the country and the people, and faced Qi Hou.

Seeing this, Qi Hou said in his heart, why bother?

Just as he was about to say, "This man is righteous and forgivable." Back then, Yu Rang stabbed Zhao Xiangzi, and Zhao Xiangzi was still able to release his grievances, couldn't I? ”

However, before these words were spoken, many "people" in charge of acting knelt on both sides of the road and said loudly: "Tian, the lord of the people." The Tian family abandoned me and quit the prime minister, and the people will return in peace? ”

"The prince is cruel and does not know how to sympathize with the people, if you don't chase him away, he will be the king of the Tian clan!"

At this time, Qi Hou's car was driving on the bridge, and there were Tian's soldiers on both sides, and there were "people" blocking the road, and they could not advance or retreat.

The person who carried out the assassination has now aroused the emotions of everyone, and when those few people cried, the people could no longer control it, and Qi Hou was shocked, but he did not dare to move.

After the man shouted, many people immediately echoed, each drawing the bronze sword he carried with him, and the momentum was fierce.

On this occasion, Tian He was "brave and fearless", walked in front of everyone and said: "The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished." You are doing so, and you are putting me in wrong! ”

The one who cried out immediately said, "No! Righteousness, there is great righteousness and small righteousness! ”

"The evil of the ancients came, loyal to the king, but harmed the world, this little righteousness!"

"The Holy King is civil and military, fighting in Muye, benefiting the world, and this righteousness is also!"

"The big gift is not small, and the righteousness is not informal."

"Besides, I am stargazing, and I see that the two nights are weak and dark, and the guest stars are flashing like Changhong, and the Gong Dynasty Qi Jiang, this providence is also!"

"How can the public abolish the great righteousness because of the small righteousness? Abandon the people because of small gifts? ”

After saying that, the man knelt on the ground again and said in a loud voice: "Please take the 70,000 households in Linzi as the priority and ascend to the position of the prince and the prince!" ”

As soon as he shouted this, the "people" in charge of acting also knelt down.

Tian He resigned again, and the man asked again: "If the prince is the king, the people of Linzi may eat salt?" ”

Tian He said: "Natural energy." The policy of the official mountains and seas is beneficial to the king and suffers from the people, and I will not do it for the benefit of the people. ”

The man asked again: "If the prince is the king, may he do not attack the army?" ”

Tian He said: "Natural energy." Meng Zhuze's alliance, since it should be abided by, the Qi people have been fighting hard for a long time, and it is beneficial for the people to kill the soldiers, why don't I follow? ”

The man asked: "If the public is the king, may he raise the virtuous man to cure corruption?" ”

Tian He said: "Natural energy." Corrupt officials are harmful to the people. In the future, all the petty officials who harm the people will be controlled and punished! ”

After asking these three questions, Tian He said again: "It's just that the gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished." I can't be wrongdoer! ”

This is the third time that they have resigned, and everyone has knelt down and said, "Please be the Lord of the people!" Please put righteousness first! ”

Tian He's face was bitter, and Qi Hou, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't help but shout: "Why don't you follow the ancient Zen system?" I have been mediocre all my life, and I finally performed this virtuous act, please don't forget the sacrifice of the Taigong, please seal a yi, and sacrifice for the Taigong! ”

Qi Hou is not stupid, now that he has reached this point, he should turn passive into active, at least to seek a place for himself to live.

Now there are five capitals and eighty cities in the Qi country, and the descendants of the Lu family, as well as foreign surnames such as Guo, Gao, and Yan, only three cities remain. The soldiers are all confidants of the Tian family, and they are already in danger.

Tian twisted and pinched, he might as well take the initiative.

So Qi Hou got out of the car, walked to Tian He's side, and said in a deep voice: "Since I am a king, I don't know about political affairs, and I have suffered for a long time. Since the king knows the government, he should not give in, and he should ascend the throne for the sake of all the people. Yao Chan is in Xu You, Xu You is not acceptable, Yao is the holy king, not with me, why is the king not affected? ”

"It's just that it's not easy to be too open to the country, and please ask for a town to sacrifice for the Taigong."

Tian He saw that Qi Hou knew about the advance and retreat, and said helplessly: "Since this is the case, I should be ordered." Destiny cannot be violated. ”

Tian He said goodbye, and everyone shouted long live.

A few days later, it was repaired to "let Xiantai", on the stage, Qihou Lu Loanzen was located in Tianhe.

Tian He did not dare to call himself a marquis, and called himself "Limin Official" and administered on behalf of Qi Hou.

He also moved the Marquis of Qi to a small island outside Yantai in later generations, with 3,000 households, for the sacrifice of the ancestors of Taigong.

Subsequently, the policy of letting go of the official mountains and seas, the price of salt in Linzi was low, and the treasury was opened to help the poor and helpless in Linzi, so that the seventy people had food and clothing, and the government gave them.

Assess the rule of Linzi, choose its greedy people to cook, and the people are all good.

It is precisely that whoever has the means of production is the ruling class, and under the premise that the land ownership system does not change, the selection of a virtuous man as the Son of Heaven is an empty word.

Hu Feizi, who was watching coldly from the Qi Kingdom, saw such a story.

There is no change in the land system of the Shiqing aristocracy, and the election of the Son of Heaven is also a joke between the aristocratic republic, because others have no right to be elected at all.

This is completely different from the Yanwang Chan Rang Zizhi a hundred years later. At that time, Yan Wang was naturally stupid, but Zizhi was also bold, and he didn't understand the power operation mode of an empire at all, thinking that he would be stable if he was conceded by Zen, but he didn't know that people had already said: "And the officials are nothing more than the princes."

Not to mention that the Tian clan is now in the Qi Kingdom, and there are nine out of ten cities, whether his son can control the capital in the Yan Kingdom is two different things.

As for the policy of officials, mountains and seas, it was because Qi Huan had "mountains and seas" at that time, so he could be "official". And not the situation today.

In today's situation, the Tian family is just taking advantage of this to make a living, he wants to control Guan Shanhai, but unfortunately he doesn't have this ability, if he dares to do this, his uncles, cousins, and brothers within the five suits will be the first to kill him.

I also have an elder brother, and the two of them are now in power together, and the civil strife of the Qi Guotian clan is actually not over, but it has only completed the first step of Dai Qi.

And he didn't dare to use the name of "Qi Hou".

The Marquis of Qi was sealed by Zhou Tianzi, although he could ignore Zhou Tianzi's face, but it was tantamount to leaving a great excuse for all countries to attack Qi.

Stronger than Wu Yue, when he was fighting for hegemony, he had to become Uncle Wu and Uncle Yue, and he could only play in his own home, but he didn't dare to call it that way to the outside world.

So he got the name of a nondescript "Limin Official", in fact, he is the Marquis of Qi, but this Marquis of Qi needs the permission of Zhou Tianzi.

If you want to get Zhou Tianzi's permission, you must marry Wei Guo and be a junior brother to Wei Guo, and maybe you can exchange Wei Hou for advice to Zhou Tianzi.

After Tian He became a "beneficiary official", on the one hand, he contacted the Sishang Mo family, saying that he would strictly abide by the covenant of non-attacking soldiers, and said that he had to bear the notoriety of "usurpation" for the benefit of the people, but as long as it was beneficial to the people, what would he regret?

On the other hand, he sent envoys to contact the Wei State, and before the Three Jin Dynasty dealt with the Qi State, they were already dominated by the Tian family, and the Marquis of Qi was just an ornament.

Tian He said wryly that the Chu State was barbarian, and the countries of the Central Plains should be united, and the Chu State was not allowed to interfere in the dispute over the Central Plains, and the Central Plains needed a hegemon. At the same time, he also said that if Wei Hou could speak to the Son of Heaven on behalf of Tian, this matter could be done.

I also heard that the Son of Heaven is now insufficient, and the Tian family is willing to pay tribute to 500 gold and 1,000 cotton cloth.

In the Qi State, the Tian clan has already obtained the right to rule most of the cities, this is an internal problem, and no one will demolish Tian He's platform.

Now Zhou Tianzi has not recognized Tian as a marquis, but his momentum has been achieved, and Zhou Tianzi also understands that if he wants to maintain his authority as the Son of Heaven, he should send troops to attack Qi at this time.

However...... Mo said that he was attacking the Qi State, and Zhou Tianzi might not even be able to fight the Zheng State of the civil strife now, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it, but he didn't admit it first, in order to be able to squeeze more benefits and tributes from the Tian family.

Hu Feizi, who witnessed all this, could only laugh at all this.

Today, the Tian family can take the position with the help of public opinion, which seems to be excellent, but for the descendants of Shiqing, it is tantamount to drinking water to quench their thirst. The people are like tigers, they slept before, but once they are awakened, and the awakened person himself breaks the sacred rules of the prince's bloodline, where does he get the confidence that the people will abide by the sacred rules of the bloodline again? Is your Tian's blood different from Jiang Qi's? Can the bloodline of your Tian clan ensure that all generations are virtuous and talented? If not, if you go up today, how will you end up tomorrow?
