In the twenty-second year of Lu Zhuanggong, Chen Guo's son Wan fled to Linzi to avoid trouble. If Gongzi Wan's descendants had not done the subversive event of ousting the Jiang regime of Qi and replacing it, his arrival would have been nothing more than an ordinary exile incident.

The occurrence of the incident has to start from the fifth year of Lu Huan Gong (BC707). In the first month of that year, Chen Huangong was already terminally ill. His younger brother Chen Tuo (the fifth father of the character) murdered the prince with the support of Zheng Guoren. Chen Huangong suddenly felt like five thunderbolts, but he suddenly became mentally ill and ran away from home, and was soon found dead in the suburbs; Chen Tuo successfully seized the throne.

Chen Tuo married a wife in Cai State. His wife often went back to Cai Guo to have trysts with her old lover under the pretext of visiting her parents. Chen Tuo gradually learned about his wife's ugly behavior (because he often slipped to Cai Guo to), but he didn't care; Sometimes he even took a car with his wife to Cai Guo, and after entering the country, the two parted ways and had their own fun.

Chen Tuo did a lot of lewd and shameless things in Cai Guo. At first, he just used money to buy the flesh of fallen women, and later developed to seduce some money-worshipping women who are usually quite right. But he gradually grew tired of the way he used money to get women, so he resorted to indiscriminate or violent means to harm people.

Chen Huan Gong has a son named Gongzi Yue, who is the half-brother of the murdered prince. He resented Chen Tuo for murdering his eldest brother, so he secretly set a trap with Cai Ren to get rid of Chen Tuo.

Soon, a pimp from Cai sent a message to Chen Tuo that he had recently found a woman as beautiful as the legendary Zhuang Jiang; It may cost a little more (just a life), but it's definitely worth it. Chen Tuo couldn't bear such a fatal temptation, and immediately took two entourages and set off with the comer.

As soon as Chen Tuo entered the territory of Cai State, he was ambushed by conspirators, and these people lost their lives in an instant. After Chen Tuo's death, Gongzi Yue ascended the throne for Chen Ligong.

In the second year of Chen Ligong, his second son Gongzi Wan (character Jingzhong) was born. Chen Ligong died in the sixth year, and his younger brother Gongzi Lin ascended the throne after abolishing the prince of Ligong, and was the Duke of Chen Zhuang. Chen Zhuang Gong died in the seventh year, and his younger brother Gongzi Pestle and Jiu drove away the prince Zhuang Gong to seize the throne for Chen Xuangong.

Due to the fierce and brutal power struggle between his father and his brothers, Childe Wan portrayed himself as a harmless animal: he never formed a gang or ostentatious. His trajectory was limited to the family house and the government office, and in this way he earned himself a good reputation for honesty.

Childe Wan has a super keen sense of smell for political and ye, and as long as he smells possible danger in the palace, he will hide far away until he is sure that the situation is back to normal. After several upheavals, his brothers fled to death, but he was the only one who was unharmed.

Although Childe's life is not very smooth, it is very safe. Because he was always able to avoid disasters at critical moments, he was surrounded by a large group of noble children, which made it impossible for him to live a low-key and quiet life.

Chen Xuangong's crown prince's name is "Yu Kou", Yu Kou likes this different cousin very much, always invites him to drink and hunt, and gives him a lot of gifts, and the prince does not dare to refuse the prince's affection. In this way, Gongzi Wan was regarded as an important figure in the Prince Gang.

The prince's loss of power began when one of Chen Xuangong's favorite concubines gave birth to a son-in-law (Chen Mugong). Since Chen Xuangong gave all his love to his son, Yukou's status has plummeted. The process of his martyrdom is almost the same as that of Prince Wei (which is also the common pattern of the death of princes of other countries), and he was instigated to kill by the monarch with all the resources of women.

After the Imperial Kou was killed, although the disaster had not yet reached the end of the childe, how could he let go of any opportunity to escape the disaster? So he ran to the country of Qi.

For Gongziwan's legendary experience, Qi Huan Gong has long heard of it. After a long conversation with Gongzi, Duke Qi Huan decided to give him the title of secretary. Gongziwan said: "I am a minister of detention and travel, and I have offended the widow and have to flee from the Chen State. Now that I am fortunate enough to be taken in by you, the princes have given enough favors to their ministers. How can a minister still covet a high position, humiliate the monarch, and attract criticism? If you insist, you might as well kill yourself.

"The poem says: 'Take a chariot and beckon me with a bow.'" Don't you want to go? Fear my friends and friends. As long as the king treats his ministers as scholars (the monarch raises his bow to summon the scholars), the ministers are content. ”

Duke Huan of Qi gave him a doctor's position and ordered him to take charge of Qi's light industry. After the childe, he changed his name to "Chen" or "Tian" (Chen and Tian belong to the turn of a voice).

However, if the situation contained in the ancient books is true, then Tian Wan's heart is not as simple and frank as it seems on the surface, and he should have come to the Qi Kingdom with an extremely insidious and ulterior purpose.

It turned out that when Gongzi Wan was a child, a historian of the royal family visited Chen Guo. This historian is a master of "Zhou Yi", and Chen Ligong asked him to complete a hexagram for his son.

As a result of divination, the "view" (kunxia, xunshang) becomes the "no" (kunxia, qianshang) hexagram. Zhou Shi explained: "The scripture says: 'Viewing the light of the country, using the guest to the king'. I'm afraid this means that the Chen family is in charge of the country, right? But this country is not Chen, it should be another country; And it is not owned by the son, it should be owned by his descendants.

"'Light' shines from something else in the distance, 'Kun' refers to the earth, 'Xun' refers to the wind, and 'Qian' refers to the sky. The wind turns into heaven; The soil has not changed; The second to fourth lines of the negative hexagram remain unchanged and are still mountains, so the mountains are on the soil. Plants, trees, beasts, and treasures are born on the mountain, and are illuminated by the light of the sky, so they are called 'the light of the country';

"Judging from the hexagrams, Gongzi will not win the kingdom by himself, but he can see his descendants in heaven ruling the kingdom. The wind is hindered by the earth, so it should be in a foreign country. If it is a foreign country, it should be a country with the surname Jiang. Jiang's surname is after Taiyue, and the mountains are enough to match the sky. But the concubine will not have two countries at the same time, and the day of the decline of the Chen State is the time when the Chen family rises in the Qi State! ”

Later, when the son reached the age of marrying a wife, his boss, the doctor Yi Zhong, wanted to marry his daughter to him, and Yi Zhong and his wife divined the good fortune of this marriage. His wife picked up the tortoise shell, which had been burned and cracked, stared at it carefully, and then exclaimed excitedly, "Good luck! This is the so-called: 'The phoenix is flying, and the song is ringing.' After having a concubine, she will be bred in ginger! Fifth Qichang, Yu Zhengqing. After the VIII, Mo Zhi and Jing! ’”

Both of these prophecies were fulfilled by the end of the spring and autumn. After the second destruction of the Chen State by the Chu State, Chen Wuyu, the fifth grandson of Gongzi Wan, became the Shangfu of the Qi State (equivalent to the generalized Qing), and the Chen family began to rise in the Qi State; The seventh grandson Tian often killed the Duke of Qi Jian, and the surname of the State of Qi was changed from Jiang to Tian.

However, I do not believe in the authenticity of these accounts. I believe that these so-called prophecies were fabricated by Tian Wan's descendants; The purpose of their fabrication of this fatalism was to force the nobles surnamed Jiang to believe that Chen Tian was originally the will of God on behalf of Jiang. This routine is exactly the same as the one preached by King Wu of Zhou, "Heaven and the hand of the Zhou people to eliminate the life of the Shang".

Otherwise, with the big mouth of the world at that time, they would all be able to keep their mouths shut; In order to help the Chen family kill the Qi State, it is a miracle that such a big news of gossip multiplied by gossip was not leaked. The Chen family has lived in the five generations of the Qi State, and this secret has been so closely protected that the Qi State Office has not obtained any information, which is simply incredible. But after the fifth generation, the Chen family is in full swing, and who dares to say that those so-called "prophecies" were not made during the Tianwan period?

Chen Wan is a person who strictly abides by the "Zhou Rites", is principled and modest, and he still lives a life of "walking on thin ice" in the Qi State. One day at noon, Chen Wan hosted a banquet for Qi Huan Gong at home, and both of them drank very happily, and time slipped away unconsciously. When the sun was in the west, Chen Wan got up to see off the guests.

Qi Huan Gong was not happy, and he asked to light a candle to continue the banquet. However, Chen Wan said that he only performed divination for the banquet during the day, but did not divinate after the palm lamp; Because he didn't know the bad luck, he didn't dare to keep Qi Huangong.

Later generations of gentlemen said: "Wine is a gift, but not excessive, this is righteousness; To be courteous, but not indulgent, this is benevolence. ”
