King Xiang of Qi was the monarch of the State of Qi during the Warring States period, with the surname of Concubine (妫), the Tian clan (田氏), and the name Fazhang (法章). This man's fate can be said to be ups and downs, full of excitement.
In 284 BC, the five kingdoms of Yan, Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Korea jointly attacked the State of Qi, and the reigning King qi, who was also the father of Fazhang, was defeated and fled, and was killed by the Chu general HuanYa on the way. Only the remaining two remaining cities of Ju and Jimo in the State of Qi remained untaken.
After King Qi Tang was killed, Tian Fazhang changed his name and surname to work as a servant in the home of Taishi Shu in Jucheng, cleaning up the garden for others, and doing the work of a gardener. Later, Tai Shi's daughter felt that Tian Fazhang was of great stature and good looks, and thought that he was definitely not an ordinary person, so she liked him very much, was very kind to him, and often stole food and clothing from him. Fa Zhang was very touched, so he told her his true identity. The identities of the two can be said to be relatively matched, so Tai Shi's daughter has an affair with him. Through this incident, we can understand that although Taishi's daughter is very kind to Fazhang and likes him, if Fazhang does not inform the other party of her identity as a prince, the other party will not have an affair with him.
King Xiang of Qi himself
At this time, the king of the State of Qi was killed, and there was a great chaos in the territory of the State of Qi, and it was urgent for a ruler to come out and preside over the overall situation, so the people of Jucheng and the fleeing ministers of the State of Qi gathered together to find the son of King Qi Tang and wanted to support him as king. Fa Zhang one day learned from other family members that someone was looking for the son of King Qi Tang, but this person was a little timid, and he misunderstood that someone was going to hunt him down, so he did not dare to show his face. It was not until a long time later that he confirmed that there was no danger that he admitted that he was the son of King Qi Tang. Therefore, the Ju people jointly embraced Li Tian FaZhang as the monarch, which was the King of Qi Xiang.

After King Xiang of Qi succeeded to the throne, li Taishi's daughter was made queen, and Shi shi was called queen. But Tai Shi Xie said: "My daughter does not marry herself because of the introduction of the matchmaker, is not worthy to be my daughter, and tarnishes the reputation of my ancestors." "Therefore he never saw the queen for the rest of his life." In the first few years of his succession, King Xiang of Qi stuck to Jucheng and did nothing.
Tian Dan had been working to recover the city after the defeat of the Qi forces. After several years of hard work, Tian Dan gradually recovered more than seventy cities in the State of Qi, including Linzi, the capital of the State of Qi. So Tian Dan welcomed King Qi Xiang back to the capital, and King Qi Xiang really became the emperor of the State of Qi. But after that, he still did nothing politically, and died of illness in 265 BC.
