The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu in his meritorious service, and was enfeoffed by Zhou Tianzi to Qi and became the founding monarch of the State of Qi, serving as the Duke of Qi. Since the founding of the State of Qi, it has always been a great power, and the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons is the Duke of Qi Huan of the State of Qi, and the State of Qi is also one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. However, in the early years of the Warring States period, the State of Qi underwent a change, and the State of Qi of the Lü clan established by Jiang Ziya was replaced by the State of Qi of the Tian Clan, which is the historical "Tian Dynasty Qi". Although Jiang Qi and Tian Qi were both Qi states, since the Tian clan dai qi, the monarchs of the state of Qi were no longer descendants of Jiang Ziya, but descendants of the Chen Guo clan. This process of Tian ShiDaiqi has also gone through hundreds of years.
Jiang Ziya
Chen Guanben was the son of Concubine Yue of Chen Li, and fled to the State of Qi to escape the chaos of the war. At that time, the State of Qi was in the period of the Duke of Qi Huan, and the Duke of Qi Huan made him a minor official. Chen Wan, who changed his surname to Tian ,also known as Tian Wan, married a noblewoman surnamed Jiang and took root in the State of Qi.
End of the field
The descendants of Tian Quan and the Tian clan treated people with humility and benefited the people, and the influence of the Tian clan in the State of Qi became more and more important, and gradually became a prominent nobleman in the State of Qi. Tian Tian Beg, the sixth grandson of Tian Quan, served as the grand master of the State of Qi, and when collecting taxes from the people, he collected them with small buckets and loaned grain to the people with large buckets. In this way, the people benefited from it, bought the hearts and minds of the people, and the Tian clan was loved and supported by the people. In the following generations, the Tian clan has always adhered to the principle of treating people with humility and benefiting the people, and its reputation in the State of Qi has become better and better, and its power has become more and more powerful, gradually controlling the power of the State of Qi, and the fiefdom of the Tian clan even once exceeded that of the Duke of Qi.
In 391 BC, Tian Wan's eighth grandson Tian He exiled Qi Kanggong, the last monarch of the State of Qi with the surname Jiang, to the island. In 386 BC, Zhou Tianzi officially enfeoffed Tian He as a marquis and became a righteous prince. Since then, the State of Qi of the Tian clan has replaced the State of Qi of the Lü clan of the Jiang surname. When Tian He replaced the Duke of Qi Kang, it did not cause social unrest, the people of the State of Qi did not resist, the Duke of Qi did not resist, the nobles of the State of Qi did not resist, everything was natural, so the Tian Dynasty Qi can be said to be a "revolution" without smoke of gunfire.
Tawa
Jiang Qi was once supported by the people of the State of Qi, and Jiang Ziya, the first monarch of the State of Qi, was the founding hero of the Zhou Dynasty, and during his reign, he governed the State of Qi with the government and people, and the country was rich and the people were strong. Qi Huangong, the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, is also an outstanding representative of Jiang Qi. But in the process of Tian ShiDaiqi, why was it abandoned?
In fact, I think the main factor is: interests. The Tian clan's power is beneficial to the people and to the Qi gong clan.
Although the State of Qi, surnamed Lü, had wise monarchs, such as Jiang Ziya and duke Huan of Qi, most of the later monarchs were faint and could not bring substantial benefits to the people. The Tian family considers the interests of the people and benefits the people, and has long won the hearts of the people.
Duke Huan of Qi
For more than two hundred years, the Tian clan took advantage of the contradictions between the various nobles to unite various forces and weaken the powerful nobles, so by the time of Tian He, there was no force that could compete with the Forces of the Tian Clan. Moreover, the Tian clan also recalled the exiled grandson of Jiang Qi and returned his original fief property, which won the support of the Duke of Qi.
With real power, winning the hearts and minds of the people, and having no power to stop it, coupled with the approval of Zhou Tianzi, the Tian clan became the legitimate ruler of the State of Qi. Looking back at the story of "Tian Shi Dai Qi", it is really a fulfillment of an old saying: Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world.
