In the fourteenth year of the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Chen Guo finished running to Qi, and the Duke of Qi Huan wanted to appoint him as a secretary, "so he thought that Gongzheng was correct." The ancestor of Tian Chengzi Tsuneyuki also". It can be said that it was Qi Huangong himself who opened the door of "Tian Shi Dai Qi".
By the time of the Duke of Qi Ling and the Duke of Qi Zhuang, most of the monarchs of the State of Qi fainted, and Qing Dafu began to control the Regime of the State of Qi, and the Tian clan also took the opportunity to gradually increase their power. During the Qi Jinggong period, the people of qi were thick and severely punished, and the lives of the people of the State of Qi fell into deep trouble, so the people's hearts were gradually lost. The Tian clan seized the opportunity and adopted a series of means to win the hearts and minds of the people, the most important of which was to give grace to the people.

The Tian clan saved the people from water and fire
When Qi Jinggong levied tyrannical expropriations from the people, the Tian clan was committed to stabilizing prices, so that "the price of the city wood is not more expensive than the mountains, the fish and salt of the ze are turtles and clams, and the clams are not more expensive than the sea", we all know that the rapidly rising prices will persecute the people's livelihood. From the officials to the small loans to the people, all of them are the places where Tian often strives to win the hearts and minds of the people.
The Tian clan also knew how to seek the support of the scholars, "kill a cow, take a bean meat, and eat the rest of the soldiers", and win over the scholars to increase their own power. Tian's efforts were not in vain, and the final result was - "Virtue for the people, love for the people."

Subsequently, the Qi state regime was gradually controlled by the Tian clan. Tian took two actions:
On the one hand, it eradicated the power of the Qi masters, used the dictatorship to expand the political power of the Tian clan, gradually controlled the important cities of the State of Qi, and sought the support of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han from the outside world; on the other hand, it continued to benefit the people, with the intention of winning people's hearts and minds to subvert the State of Qi.
In the fourteenth year of the Duke of Qikang, Tian He expelled the Duke of Qikang to a small island on the sea, and usurped Qi Kang to stand on his own.
The Tian clan carried out reforms and strict precautions against nobles and courtiers
At the same time that the Tian clan and the Qi masters launched a political infighting and gradually took control of the Qi state, at that time, a trend of reform arose in various countries, and all countries could not help but throw themselves into the embrace of changing the law in an attempt to strengthen themselves.
After the Li Wu reformation, the State of Wei gradually became strong enough to threaten other countries, and they repeatedly invaded the State of Qi after the rich country and strong army. After the king of Qiwei officially came to power, taking advantage of the fact that the situation was not yet stable, the internal political organization was not sound enough, and external troubles were repeatedly forced, he carried out reforms and innovations in an attempt to change this disadvantage.

We all know that in the late Spring and Autumn period, most of the monarchs of the State of Qi were emperors, and the monarchy was often manipulated by Qing Dafu. The Qing masters mastered the matter of deposing and establishing monarchs, and always competed with the monarchs.
In the Warring States period, in order to concentrate on the control of the monarchy, and in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the nobles or heavy subjects usurping the throne, the monarch of the State of Qi was even more vigilant and guarded against the situation of "the government at home" and "the tail is not big".
During the reign of King Wei of Qi, he once enfeoffed Guo Juntian in Xue Di. We all know that the State of Qi needs the assistance of Jingguo Juntian baby to prosper, and Jingguo Jun also needs the stage of the State of Qi to let him play a political talent, and once Jingguojun makes a split with the State of Qi, for both the State of Qi and the State of Jingguojun, it will be the most suffering and unprofitable situation.
It is precisely because of this that diners successfully dissuade Jing Guojun from building a city wall in Xuedi through the principle of fish and water to help each other - "Fu Qi, Yi Jun's Water Also".
Stills of Meng Yijun
During the reign of King Xuan of Qi, the Chu people attacked Xue Di, and Meng Yujun Tian Wen persuaded King Xuan of Qi through Chun Yu, and King Xuan of Qi raised an army to rescue him. From this, it can be seen that Meng Yijun did not have the troops to carry out self-defense work in Xuedi. It can be seen that during the Warring States period, the power of the Shangqing has gradually decreased due to the control and differentiation of the monarch.
Although Meng Tianjun inherited the title of Xue Di, but the Warring States and the Spring and Autumn Feudal System were different, Meng Yujun did not manage the civil administration on the fengyi, from the "envoy summoning the people to be creditors" can know that Xue Land was run by local officials, and Meng Tianjun only enjoyed the taxes within the fiefdom, so he sent Feng Chen to Xue Di to collect the debt.
It can be seen from this that the people of Xue Di did not have direct contact with Meng Yijun. In this way, it was not easy to establish local power, and it was in this way that the monarch of the State of Qi suppressed the expansion of clan power and reduced the chances of confrontation between the heavy subjects and the monarch.
By the time of King Qi Tang, Meng tasted Junxiande, was hospitable and nurturing, and his reputation was well known among the princes, and he was even appreciated by King Zhaoxiang of Qin. The State of Qin wanted to make Meng Tastejun a minister, but after entering Qin, Meng Tastejun was tragically framed by villains, and he finally had to help the diners chicken and dog thieves to get out of trouble and return to the State of Qi.

However, Meng Tianjun's reputation forced the Lord, making the King of Qi Tang doubtful and wanted to get rid of him. After several political struggles and tug-of-war over the power of the monarchs, the King of Qi removed meng's power with the phrase "the widows do not dare to take the subjects of the previous kings as subjects", leaving him to return to Xue Di and unable to continue to threaten the monarchy of the State of Qi.
After the Tian clan seized the Lü clan's power, it tried its best to eradicate the old office forces, and the new aristocratic forces had not yet formed, so the Patriarchal concept of the Tian clan of Qi Guo was indifferent, and it was the country with the fewest feudal monarchs among the "Seven Heroes" of the Warring States.
There were only five people with titles, including Jingguo Juntian Bao, Meng Tian Tian Wen, Chenghou Zou Ji, Anping Juntian Dan, and Wu'an Jun Su Qin, indicating that the monarch of the State of Qi was on the defensive against the power of nobles and heavy subjects.
