By the middle of the year, the resentment of the people in Linzi City had reached the highest level.

During the mid-year festival, the Duke of Qi must preside over the presidency.

Judging from the ritual, when the year comes, the palace of the sound palace and the palace of Huangzhong in the lunar calendar are five, the taste is sweet and the smell is fragrant.

The sacrifice is smooth and sacrifices to the ancestors. The road is to ride on the road, ride yellow horses, carry yellow flags, wear yellow clothes, and wear yellow jade. Eat millet and cattle, and the utensils are round and grand.

This time, the Duke of Qi needed to walk along the main road in Linzi and wear a yellow dress.

The nearby servants were lined up by five people, all holding yellow flags, and needed to go to the ancestral temple to worship. The offerings were millet and cows, and the ritual vessels for the sacrifice should be large and round.

The throne and the sacred were playing the throne all the way. When they reached a bridge deck, a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd, holding a sword to assassinate the Duke of Qi.

There was only one person, and his martial arts were absent, so he was soon captured.

The people gathered on both sides to watch, and the captured man remained calm. Qi Xiangtianhe interrogated in front of everyone, asking him why he wanted to assassinate the king.

The man saw everyone gathering, and the Duke of Qi was driving on the bridge, and there was no way to move forward and retreat, and knew that this was the time needed by the "master".

In front of everyone, when Tian He asked him why he assassinated, he shouted loudly... not to say it to the Duke of Qi, but to say it to these people.

"I will assassinate the Lord and I will die today."

"In the past, Yu Rang assassinated Zhao Xiangzi, saying, "Those who are confidants die, and those who are pleased by women are tolerating them. I think this is a lieutenant."

"Superiors, they should die for the benefit of the country and the people. Therefore, I have no confidant and no master, but I just assassinate the king and the marquis for the sake of the people of Qi."

"The king and the lord ascend to the throne and do many evil deeds."

"The people of the country did not collect 30,000 bones but drank sweet wine; they were not ashamed to take over for the King of Yue, and smiled; Mengzhuze's alliance stopped war and violated the agreement, which led to the resentment of the gods; the people were not enough to eat and had no salt, and they still harsh the armor... These are all policies that harm the people."

"I died for the people of Liqi, and I will die as my place, and I will never regret it!"

His generous speech was originally intended to be heard by the people who were watching the show, so the voice was loud and Tian He did not stop him.

After he finished speaking, the people in charge of acting cheered loudly, and those who didn't know the truth and really watched the show also cheered, and for a moment they were truly unparalleled in righteousness.

After hearing this, Tian He waited for everyone to calm down, and sighed: "Planning for the benefit of the people is righteous. I kill you is unrighteous; assassinating a king is rebellious, and I do not kill you is unfaithful."

"If you are unfaithful and unrighteous, you should not be a preface. Now you can only choose one of the two, so I might as well not do this preface!"

He sighed, and his face showed a look of worrying about the country and the people, facing the Duke of Qi.

Seeing this, the Duke of Qi thought to himself, why bother?

He was about to say, "Since this person has great righteousness, he can forgive him. When Yu Rang assassinated Zhao Xiangzi, he could even relieve his grievances. Wouldn't I not?"

However, before this was said, many "people" in charge of acting had already knelt on both sides of the road and whispered loudly: "Tian family is the lord of the people. Tian family abandoned me and stopped prime minister. Will the people return?"

"It is better to chase him and be cruel and ungrateful to the people and politely, and to be the king of Tian!"

At this time, the Duke of Qi was driving on the bridge, with Tian’s soldiers on both sides, and "people" blocking the road, so they could not advance or retreat.

The assassination man has now aroused everyone's emotions. When those people cried, the people could no longer control them. The Duke of Qi was shocked but did not dare to move.

After the man shouted, many people immediately responded, and each pulled out the bronze sword he carried with him, with great momentum.

On this occasion, Tian He was "brave and fearless" and walked up to everyone and said, "The courtesy of the king and the ministers should not be abolished. You all do this, this is to put me injustice!"

The shouting man immediately said, "No! righteousness has great righteousness and minor righteousness!"

"The evil in ancient times came, and was loyal to King Zhou, but harmed the world. This is a small righteousness!"

"The holy king, civil and military, fights in Muye and benefits the world, which is a great righteousness!"

"A big gift will not be given up on small gifts, and a big righteousness will not be given up on small gifts."

"Besides, when I watched the stars, I saw that the two stars were weak and dark, and the guest stars were twinkling like a rainbow. The Duke of Qi Jiang was the will of heaven!"

"How can the Lord abandon the great righteousness because of small righteousness? He abandons the people because of small righteousness?"

After saying that, the man knelt on the ground again and said repeatedly: "Please give the 70,000 Linzi households to ascend to the position of lords and marquis!"

As soon as he shouted, the "people" in charge of acting also knelt down one after another.

Tian He resigned again, and the man asked again: "If the Duke is the king, will the people of Linzi eat salt?"

Tian He said: "Only, the strategy of officials, mountains and seas is beneficial to the king and suffering to the people. I will not do it."

The man asked again: "If the Lord is the king, may he be a policy of not attacking and stopping war?"

Tian He said: "Of course, we can. The Mengzhuze alliance should be abide by it. The Qi people have fought hard for a long time. Stop wars will benefit the people. Why don't I follow?"

The man asked three times: "If the Lord is the king, may he be able to procure wise men and punish corruption?"

Tian He said: "Of course, corrupt officials will harm the people. In the future, all minor officials who harm the people will be controlled and punished!"

After asking these questions, Tian He said again: "But, the etiquette of the king and the ministers cannot be abolished. I cannot be an unrighteous person!"

This was the third time that we refused, and everyone knelt down and said, "Please be the lord of the people! Please put justice first!"

Tian He looked bitter, and the Duke of Qi who was beside him could no longer bear it, so he refused to shout: "Why not follow the ancient abdication system? I have been in a mess for my whole life and finally performed this virtuous deed. Please do not forget the sacrifice of Taigong. Please grant a title to the sacrifice of Taigong!"

The Duke of Qi is not stupid either. Now that he has reached this point, he should turn passive into initiative, and at least seek a place for himself to settle down.

Now there are five capitals and eighty cities in Qi State, and the descendants of the Lü family, as well as foreign surnames such as Guo, Gao, and Yan, only three cities are left. The Jiashis are all confidants of the Tian family, and they are already in danger.

Tian was so tempted that he might as well take the initiative.

So the Duke of Qi got out of the car, walked to Tian He, and said in a deep voice: "Since I am the king, I don't know political affairs, and the people have suffered for a long time. Since you know politics, you should not give in. You should ascend the throne for all the people of Qi. Yao Chan was not accepted by Xu You, but Xu You was the sage king. If you were not with me, why would you not accept it?"

"It's just that the country is too open and not easy. I'll ask for a town to make sacrifices for Taigong."

Seeing that the Duke of Qi knew how to advance and retreat, Tian He said helplessly: "Since that is the case, I should accept the order. The destiny of heaven cannot be violated."

Tian He bowed again, and everyone shouted long live.

A few days later, he practiced the "Rangxiantai" and on the stage, the Duke of Qi, Lu Dao, was abdicated in Tianhe.

Tian He did not dare to call himself a marquis, so he called himself a "province to the people" and took office as the marquis of Qi.

The Duke of Qi was moved to a small island outside Yantai in later generations, with a fief of 3,000 households, and was used for sacrifices by Taigong's ancestors.

Subsequently, the policy of officials and mountains and seas was relaxed, and the salt prices in Linzi suddenly decreased. The treasury was opened to help those who were poor and helpless Linzi, and the seventy were ordered to have their own food and clothing, and the government gave them.

Assess the administration of Linzi, select the greedy and violent people to cook them, and the people will praise them for being good.

It is precisely that whoever has means of production is the ruling class. On the premise that land ownership remains unchanged, choosing wise men as emperors is just empty talk.

Hu Feizi, who was watching coldly in Qi State, saw this story.

The land system of the feudal system of nobles and nobles has not changed. Choosing the emperor is a joke between the noble republic, because others have no right to be elected at all.

This is completely different from the abdication of the King of Yan a hundred years later and Zizhi. At that time, King of Yan Kuai was naturally stupid, but Zizhi was also brave. His son did not understand the power operation mode of an empire. He thought that he would be safe if he was abdicated, but he didn't know that he had said long ago: "And the officials are nothing but the prince."

Not to mention that Tian’s family is now in Qi State, nine out of ten cities, whether his son can control the capital in Yan State is different.

As for the strategy of officials, mountains and seas, it was because Qi Huan had "mountains and seas" at that time, so he was able to "officially" him, not the current situation.

In the current situation, Tian is just using this to make a living. He wants to control Guan Shanhai. Unfortunately, he does not have the ability and dares to do this. His uncles, cousins, and brothers within the five suburbs will take the lead in killing him.

I also have an older brother, and the two of them are now in power. The civil strife of the Tian clan in Qi State has not ended yet, but has only completed the first step of Dai Qi.

And he didn't dare to use the name "Qi Duke".

The Duke of Qi was granted by the Emperor of Zhou. Although he could ignore the appearance of the Emperor of Zhou, it was equivalent to leaving a great excuse for the various countries to attack Qi.

As powerful as Wu and Yue, when they were fighting for hegemony, they would become Wu Bo and Yue Bo. They could only play at their own homes, but they dare not call them that. Then Wu was like this after the Taibo who made the country King Wen Ji Chang, and even the Tian family.

So he got an inappropriate title of "beneficiary of the people". In fact, he was the Duke of Qi, but this Duke of Qi required the permission of the Emperor of Zhou.

If you want to get permission from the Emperor of Zhou, you must make a good match for the State of Wei and be your younger brother. Perhaps it can be exchanged for the Marquis of Wei to give advice to the Emperor of Zhou.

After Tian He was promoted to the "protective of the people", he contacted the Mohist family on the Si Shang Dynasty, saying that he would strictly abide by the agreement of not attacking and stopping the war. He also said that he had to bear the bad reputation of "usurpation", but as long as it is beneficial to the people, why should he cherish it?

On the other hand, envoys were sent to contact the State of Wei. Before the Three Jins dealt with the State of Qi, the Tian family was already the main one, and the Duke of Qi was just a decoration.

Tian He said in a hesitant manner that Chu State was a barbarian, and the Central Plains countries should unite and not allow Chu State to interfere in the disputes between the Central Plains. The Central Plains needed a hegemon. At the same time, he also stated that if the Marquis of Wei could make a statement to the emperor for the Tian family, this matter would be done.

I also heard that the emperor is not paying enough now, so Tian was willing to pay 500 taels of gold and 1,000 pieces of cotton cloth as a tribute.

In Qi State, the Tian clan has obtained the rule of most cities, which is an internal problem. No one will destroy Tianhe's Taiwan.

Now the Emperor of Zhou has not yet recognized the Tian family as a marquis, but his power has been achieved. The Emperor of Zhou also understood that if he wanted to maintain his emperor's authority, he should send troops to attack Qi at this time.

However...not to mention attacking Qi, the Zhou emperor may not be able to beat Zheng, which is civil strife, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it, but he did not admit it first, in order to extract more benefits from the Tian family.

Hu Feizi, who witnessed all this, could only laugh at all for comments on all this.
