Chapter 96 Great Imperial Palace 14

Meng Changjun, named Tian Wen, his father, Jingguo Juntian Ying, is the youngest son of King Qi Wei and the half-brother of King Xuan of Qi. Jingguo Jun Tian Ying once served as an important position in the army when he was the king of Qi Wei. In the Battle of Maling, he defeated the then hegemon Wei, together with Tian Ji and Sun Bin. Since then, he has created the hegemony of the State of Qi for more than 60 years. After the death of King Wei of Qi, the successor King Xuan of Qi actively promoted the hegemony policy during the reign of King Wei, continued to resist Qin in the west, suppressed the State of Chu in the north, and maintained the hegemony of the State of Qi. Tian Ying served as the prime minister and won the trust of his brother. For a while, he fell to the government and was sealed by Xue because of his merits.

Although Tian Wen is Tian Ying's son, he is not the eldest son, but the son of a concubine. He is just an ordinary one of Tian Ying's more than 40 sons. According to the usual practice, he has no right to inherit his father's title and property. Moreover, Tian Wen was born on the fifth day of May. According to Qidi's custom, the child born on the fifth day of the fifth year old grows up as tall as a door, which will harm his father and mother. Therefore, after Tian Ying learned that the son was born, Tian Ying ordered Tian Wen's mother to throw him into the wild.

But the mother and son are deeply in love. After all, it is their own bones. Tian Wen's mother was not willing to throw him away, so she secretly raised him. When Tian Wen grew up, his mother introduced Tian Wen to Tian Ying through Tian Wen's brother. Tian Ying saw the child and said to his mother angrily, "I asked you to throw away this child. How dare you raise him? Why is that?"

Before Tian Wen's mother answered, Tian Wen immediately kowtowed, and then asked Tian Ying, "What's the reason why you don't let the child born in May?" Tian Ying replied, "A child born in May is as tall as a door when he grows up, which will harm his father and mother." Tian Wen said, "Is the fate of people granted by God? Or is it granted by the portal?" Tian Ying didn't know how to answer, so she was silent. Tian Wen continued, "If it is granted by God, why should you worry? If it is granted by the portal, then you just need to raise the portal. Who can grow so tall?"

Tian Ying was speechless by her son, so she had to acquiesce to this matter, but she also pay a lot of attention to this son she has never met. From then on, Tian Ying changed her attitude towards Tian Wen and gradually began to value him, leaving him in charge of part of the housekeeping and receiving guests. After Tian Wen took office, the number of guests continued to come and go, and Tian Wen's reputation spread to the vassal states. After Tian Ying's death, he was posthumously named Jing Guojun. Tian Wen inherited Tian Ying's title in Xue Yi as an heir for Meng Changjun.

Tian Wen has tasted the coldness and warmth of the world since he was a child. His temperament is extremely tough, and he is good to make friends. When he was just awarded the title of Xue Yi, he spread his wealth and made friends with the world's heroes, paying special attention to attracting guests from various vassal states and even criminals and fugitives. As long as there is a person with a skill, Tian Wen will not accept it. Soon, Tian Wen Nax's reputation spread all over the world, and many people attached to Meng Changjun.

Mengchang Jun would rather give up his family property and give them a generous treatment, so all the sages in the world yearn for it. He has thousands of diners, and the treatment is the same as Tian Wen regardless of whether he is noble or low. Whenever Tian Wen receives guests and sits and talks with them, he always arranges a waiter behind the screen, asking him to record the content of the conversation between Meng Changjun and the guests, and record the residence of the guests' relatives. As soon as the guests left, Tian Wen had sent messengers to the guests' relatives' homes to comfort and offer gifts.

Once, Tian Wen entertained a guest for dinner. Someone covered the light. The guest was very annoyed and thought that the quality of the meal must be not equal. He put down the bowls and chopsticks and said goodbye. Tian Wen immediately stood up and compared with him with his own meal. The guest was ashamed and apologized by committing suicide by depleting his neck. Therefore, many sages are willing to return to Meng Changjun. Tian Wen warmly accepts the guests who come to the door. He does not pick, has no relatives, and gives preferential treatment. Therefore, all the guests think that Meng Changjun is close to him.

Tian Wen did it so painstakingly that his fame soon spread all over the world, and the world praised Mengchang Junli, a virtuous sergeant, as a generation of sages. Over time, even his uncle, King Xuan of Qi, heard his virtuous name, which made people call this nephew to the court as a doctor of Jimo. Tian Wen did have the talent to govern the country. Less than half a year after he arrived in Jimo, the public security in the city was greatly improved, and the tax revenue was 30% higher, which made the old King Xuan more and more trusted him, so he appointed him as the prime minister of the State of Qi and took charge of the affairs of the government. From his Meng Changjun, he became a great minister and became the leader of the state of Qi.

After King Xuan, the young King of Qi ascended the throne. When King Xuan was still alive, Tian Wen was friendly and welcomed the field that was still the prince at that time, but he had a good personal relationship with him. Therefore, Tiandi has always had a good impression of this cousin. After the accession to the throne, he got along well and did not have a big conflict. However, Tian Wen's dictatorship has gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the land of the king of Qi, and the contradictions are slowly expanding in the accumulation.

When Yingji, the king of Qin, just ascended the throne, Meng Changjun Tianwen, as the representative of the State of Qi, went to Xianyang to congratulate the king of Qin on his accession to the throne. At that time, Mi Tianhou longed for the name of Meng Changjun and wanted to invite him to be the prime minister of the State of Qin, but Meng Changjun refused in the name of missing his hometown. At that time, it was the period of Qin and Qi's hegemony. The Empress Dowager Mi was worried that the virtuousness of Meng Changjun in the State of Qi would be unfavorable to the State of Qin, so she was worried and imprisoned him in Xianyang. Fortunately, there were many talented people under his subordinates, and Tian Wencai narrowly escaped from Xianyang and returned to the State of Qi.

Tian Wen has always been willing to report that he has suffered such a great humiliation in the State of Qin. How can his proud self-esteem stand it? Therefore, after returning to the Seven Kingdoms, he actively formed a joint column to attack Qin. Relying on his prestige, he invited the State of Chu, the State of Wei and South Korea to join the joint attack of Qin. Finally, he defeated the Qin army at Hangu Pass and broke through Hangu Pass in one fell swoop, forcing the strong Qin, who had not been defeated for more than 60 years, to cede the land for peace.

And Meng Changjun also reached the peak with the prestige of this matter, and faintly became the general of the anti-Qin world, and the light even covered up the King of Qi. However, the consequences of forcibly sending troops to attack the State of Qin from afar were soon exposed. The main force was hanging alone, and the State of Yan, which had been extremely gentle behind, soon showed a ferocious face. It quickly dispatched a large army south to attack the territory of Qi, trying to take the opportunity to capture Hebei. Although the Qi army finally defeated the Yan army, its own loss was not small, especially in Hebei, which was almost completely captured by the State of Yan, and the damage was also extremely serious.

The annoyed Meng Changjun originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to enter the State of Yan and completely eliminate this ignorant country, so as to cover up his mistakes in strategic thinking. Although the State of Yan is far weaker than the State of Qi, it is also a great power after all. Over the years, it has also made great efforts to govern the country. Coupled with the extremely wide depth of the territory of the State of Yan, although the State of Qi won in a row, it could not do anything about the State of Yan for a while, so it had to be deadlocked on the front line.

What annoyed Meng Changjun was that the State of Zhao, who had always been low-key, suddenly intervened in the war between Qi and Yan, and sent Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang to lead the cavalry to insert the back of the Qi army, with an unknown intention. Meng Changjun, who was furious, almost lost his mind and ordered to attack the leading cavalry of the Zhao army. Fortunately, he was suppressed by his clever doorman, which did not produce big goods.

As for his invitation to the letter palace this time, Zhao Yong asked him to come directly by name. Even if he was reluctant, he had to swallow his anger and come to the appointment.
