During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in fact, the author believes that the most troublesome thing is not the division of the Jin State by the three families of Zhao, Wei, and Han, but the "Tian Clan Daiqi" incident.
In 391 BC, this year is definitely a fateful time node for the State of Qi, the Tian family that has been entrenched in the State of Qi for hundreds of years became the new master of the State of Qi under the leadership of Tian He, Tian He established himself as the monarch of the State of Qi, and moved the original Qi monarch of the State of Qi to the sea, but this Tian He is still human, he did not exterminate the State of Qi, but gave the Qi surname a city to support the Qi family temple.
In 386 BC, King An of Zhou, under the persecution of Marquis Wen of Wei and many other princes, had to crown Tian He as the new Marquis of Qi, and the State of Qi of the Tian clan was officially recognized at this moment. This historical event is what we know as "Tian Shi Dai Qi".
Speaking of the development of the Tian clan in the State of Qi, it can be traced back to the Tian Quan period. Tian Quan was the son of Chen Guo and the son of Chen Ligong. Originally, it was still good, but later his uncle Chen Xuangong killed the crown prince Yu Kou, and at this time, the relationship between Tian Quan and Yu Kou was already close. Tian Quan was very worried that this disaster would affect him at this time, so he chose to go up thirty-six at this time.
Tian Wan thought about it and finally set the destination of his escape in the State of Qi. The State of Qi was in the period of the Duke of Qi Huan during this period, and the Duke of Qi Huan himself was a monarch who admired the talents very much, and at this time Tian Quan was famous for a long time. Therefore, when Tian Quan came to the State of Qi, he was treated favorably by the Duke of Qi Huan, and Tian Quan confirmed that he was just a homeless person who had come to the State of Qi to flee, and the State of Qi had already taken him in as the greatest favor to himself. Therefore, Tian Guanjiu could not collect The good intentions of Qi Huangong for a long time.
One after another, Qi Huangong continued to look for the most suitable position for Tian Quan in the State of Qi, and later he gave the position of Gongzheng to Tian Quan, and at this time Tian Quan also had to accept it, and if he did not accept it, it would be disrespectful to Qi Huan Gong, Tian Quan was a wise man, and he was still very knowledgeable.
The term "Gongzheng" that we are talking about here actually mainly refers to the official position of managing craftsmen, and later this official position also became the hereditary official position of the first generations of the Tian clan in the State of Qi. After several generations of trials and tribulations in the State of Qi, during the Period of the Duke of Qizhuang, Tian Wenzi, a descendant of Tian Quan, was deeply trusted by the Duke of Qizhuang, and at this point the Tian clan received a knighthood in this short period of time, and the Tian clan has since entered the core political arena of the State of Qi.
When the State of Qi arrived at the period of Qi Jinggong, the State of Qi was corrupted by the Governance of Qi Jinggong, and the people's lives were even more miserable. At this time, the Tian clan looked at the period, actively participated in the government, and widely implemented the new policy, in order to let the suffering and hungry people eat a life-saving meal, the Tian clan openly borrowed the grain from the public office to lend money to the people.
And the Tian clan changed the original borrowing and return system of the State of Qi, changing the original "four-base" to "five-in-five", but when the people exchanged grain, they still used the original old system, in general, the people borrowed more and repaid less here in the Tian family, so the people of the State of Qi are still very grateful for this kindness of the Tian family.
In general, the most important thing for the Tian clan to gain a firm foothold in the State of Qi is the result of the joint efforts of the Tian clan's successive generations of able people, and the State of Qi, who he was finally able to replace Jiang Ziya, is nothing more than a general trend of history in the eyes of modern people, the choice of the people living at the bottom, and also the result of the efforts of the Tian clan in the State of Qi for so many years, and the most fundamental reason why the State of Qi, surnamed Jiang, lost control of the State of Qi at this time was because of its own corruption and incompetence!
