Meng TianWen was the grandson of King Qi Wei and the son of Jingguo Juntian Bao, and was known as the "Four Princes of the Warring States" along with Xin Ling jun, PingYuan Jun, and Chun Shen Jun.
In the middle and late period of the Warring States period, Meng Yujun was in a position of power, successively serving as the xiangguo of the Qin state, the state of Qi, and the state of Wei, and even attacked the state of Qi together with five countries, including Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin.
What is strange is that such a prominent figure has cut off his children and grandchildren after his death, why is this?
Tian Bao had many wives and concubines, with more than forty sons, Meng Tianjun was not favored since he was a child, and even almost threw away, fortunately, he was secretly raised by his mother.
Tian Bao served as Qi Xiang for twenty years, and his family was entangled, and he was enfeoffed with Xue Di and was known as "Xue Jun". When he grew up, Tian Qiao defeated many brothers with a three-inch tongue, and Len let his father crown himself as a son of the world, inheriting the family wealth and the fief.
After Meng Yijun succeeded Xue Gong, he recruited talents from the world, and he was very willing to spend money, and for a time he became famous in all directions, and there were thousands of diners under his door.
In fact, many of the disciples do not have real talents, and even many people who commit adultery, but Meng Tianjun's family is big, and he doesn't care about money at all, just to make a name.
The "Chronicle of History" records: Taste the king's house and be generous to the people, so that the people of the world, thousands of diners, no noble and lowly one and wen and so on.
At that time, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who was far to the west, also knew the name of Meng Yijun, and Qin Xiaogong had Shang Martingale assisted, Qin Huiwen Wang had Zhang Yi as an assistant, and King Qin Wu also had GanMao as an assistant.
If King Zhaoxiang of Qin wanted to surpass the merits of his ancestors, he naturally also needed the assistance of a virtuous person, and Meng Tianjun was a famous sage in the world, and he certainly could not let go.
Therefore, King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent his younger brother Jingyang Jun to the State of Qi as a hostage, and replaced Meng Yujun with Qin, but was initially dissuaded by the doorman Su Dai.
A few years later, King Zhaoxiang of Qin invited again and sent many sincere gifts, and Meng Yijun was very touched, and although there was opposition from Su Dai, he entered the Qin state with the support of King Qi.
The "Records of History" records that When King Qin Zhao heard of Qixian, he first made Jingyang Jun hostage to Qi, in order to see Meng Qijun.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin washed the dust for Meng Yujun with an extremely grand welcome ceremony and immediately appointed Him as The Minister of Qin. At that time, Meng Tianjun was full of spirits and was preparing to shake off his arms and do a big job, when suddenly someone rumored to King Zhaoxiang of Qin, saying that Meng Tianjun always did things "first Qi and then Qin".
King Zhaoxiang of Qin could not resist the advice of his courtiers, so he had to remove Meng Yujun's position, not wanting to let the tiger return to the mountain, but he was reluctant to kill, so he planned to imprison him.
Meng Tianjun felt that a catastrophe was coming, fortunately with the help of the accompanying doormen, he was able to escape from the Qin Kingdom smoothly, and the allusion of the chicken and dog thief came from this, and in this way, Meng Tianjun ended his career as a minister in the Qin State.
After Meng Yijun returned to the State of Qi, his cousin King Tang of Qi felt guilty for sending him an envoy to the State of Qin, so he worshipped him as a tribute to the State of Xiang to make up for it.
The "Chronicle of History" records that the king of Qi Tang was not self-satisfied, and he sent Meng to taste the king. Meng tasted the junzhi, and thought that Qi Xiang was in charge.
However, Meng Yijun declared a personal vendetta, believing that the State of Qin had lost face in front of the people of the world, so he joined forces with Korea and the State of Wei to attack the State of Qin.
However, if they wanted to send troops from Han and Wei, they had to first help them to balance the threat from the Chu state, but fortunately, because the borrowing of troops from Western Zhou failed, the plan did not come to fruition.
Meng Xiangjun has been the prime minister of Qi for many years, becoming more and more arrogant, becoming more and more disrespectful to the king of Qi, coupled with the gossip of political enemies, the king of Qi Xiang also felt the threat of Meng Xiangjun to the throne.
Soon, Tian Jia launched a rebellion and kidnapped the King of Qi, although it was later pacified, but the King of Qi Min always suspected that Meng Tianjun was involved, because Tian Jia and Meng Tianjun had a good relationship.
Although some people killed themselves in front of the palace gate to show Meng Tianjun's loyalty to King Qitang, the gap between the two was still not eliminated.
In this case, Meng Tianjun, faced with great pressure from the government and the public, had to take the initiative to resign and return to his fiefdom, so his resentment towards the King of Qitang was even stronger.
After Meng Tianjun resigned, Lü Li, an old general of the Qin state who had fled to the State of Qi, was appointed as xiangguo, and this person had a vendetta against Su Dai, and Meng Tianjun also participated in it, planning to unite with the state of Qin to attack the state of Qi in order to expand the area of XueDi.
In the end, the State of Qin Wei Ran sent troops to attack the State of Qi, under the pretext of demanding that the State of Qi hand over the traitor Lü Li, and the King of Qi, quite angry, sent Lü Li to fight against the enemy, but Lü Li fled without a fight.
Since Lü Li fled, there was no need for war between the State of Qi and the State of Qin, and the two sides agreed to make peace and became known as the Second Emperor of the East and the West.
Soon, king Qi Tang, at the instigation of Su Qin, destroyed the Song state, and for a time he was proud and proud, and when he learned that Meng Tianjun was expanding his troops and horses in Xuedi, he was worried that he would rebel, so he sent troops to fight.
After receiving the news, Meng Tianjun fled to the State of Wei and was appointed by King Zhao of Wei as xiangguo, which was meng tianjun's third princely state.
The "Records of History" records that the Later Qi King destroyed the Song Dynasty, Yi Jiao, and wanted to go to Meng to taste the King. Lu taste the king's fear. It's like Wei.
During his tenure as Chancellor of Wei, Meng Yijun and Su Qin instigated the four kingdoms of Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin to unite with the State of Yan and jointly attack the State of Qi, which is the famous "Le Yi Fa Qi" in history.
In this war, the State of Qi was almost destroyed, but fortunately, there was infighting in the State of Yan, and Tian Dan was able to restore the country, but the State of Qi had become a third-rate weak state.
Although Meng Yijun got what he wanted, the King of Qi Tang was defeated and killed, but he also became a national hatred and was despised by people, and since he could not stand in the Wei state, he could only resign and return to the fiefdom.
As soon as he arrived in Xuedi, Meng Yijun announced that he had drawn a clear line with the State of Qi, making Xue Di a country within the state of Qi, and King Xiang of Qi was the nephew of Meng Xiangjun, who had just been restored to the kingdom, and could not help Meng Tianjun for the time being.
In 279 BC, Meng Yijun, who had been the "State of Xue" for five years, died of illness, probably because there was no designated heir, or the designated heir was not recognized by King Qi Xiang, resulting in many sons killing each other for the position of Duke Xue.
Seeing this, King Xiang of Qi, together with King Wei Zhao, sent an army to attack the "State of Xue", divided up Xue Di, and killed All of Meng's sons.
The "Records of History" records: Wen Shu, 谥 is Meng Yujun. The sons fought for each other, and Qi Wei destroyed Xue. Meng tasted no heirs.
From a certain point of view, Meng Yijun has not cut off his children and grandchildren, there is no inheritance, as a nobleman of the State of Qi, he has served as the Xiangguo of the three great powers, which can be described as a moment of glory, why did he end up like this? Perhaps thanks to his character flaws.
Although Meng Tianjun is named Jun, he is a villain, and he will repay his eyes, and in order to vent his own selfish anger, he betrays the interests of the state.
Meng Tianjun had thousands of customers, but most of them were the greedy and widowed chicken and dog thieves, and when Meng Tianjun died, he fell down and scattered; the people of zhao guo laughed at his five short stature and did not look amazing, and he killed hundreds of people on an entire street;
In order to avenge the State of Qin, he did not hesitate to betray the interests of the State of Qi to make good friends with Korea and the State of Wei; in order to retaliate against King Qi, he launched the Five Kingdoms to cut down Qi, resulting in the almost destruction of the State of Qi.
The four princes of the Warring States, except for Xin Lingjun, who had feelings and righteousness, the other three were not worthy of the name, especially Meng Yijun.
