Mengchangjun raised three thousand people and was the prime minister of Qin, Qi and Wei. He formed a neutral trend in the Warring States period when the seven heroes co-existed. However, after his death, he exterminated his family. The root cause is just because Mengchangjun was selfish. Profits will be repaid with hatred, narrow-minded and short-sighted.

Stand out

Mengchang Jun Tian Wen was a nobleman of the Qi State, with the surname of Gui, Tian. Tian Wen’s early years were quite inspiring. He was born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which was unlucky. An abandoned child, his mother was unwilling to let him go and raised him secretly. Later, Tian Wen got the recognition of his father Tian Ying, and pointed out that his father was short-sighted and could not win the trust of the nobles, so he was put in the spotlight by his father and took charge of the housekeeping. He received guests and quickly became famous. In this way, after Tian Ying's death, Tian Wen stood out as a concubine among more than 40 brothers, inherited Tian Ying's title, and inherited Xue Yi.

Tian Wen raised three thousand scholars in Xue Yi. To be precise, they were hangers-on. Real scholars accounted for less than one percent. Who are these people? They were expelled from various vassal states and committed crimes. Tian Wen treated all of them equally, including those with skills and those who were just making a living. Anyway, he had enough money to support these people, and he set heavy taxes in Xue Yi.

He once relied on the crowing of chickens and dog thieves to escape from the Qin State, and also relied on Feng Xuan to win people's hearts and consolidate his power, but he was short-sighted. At first, he was not happy when Feng Xuan bought people's hearts for him, but only after seeing the actual benefits. Feng Chen began to be reused, but Wei Zi did not have such good luck. He bought people's hearts for Tian Wen, but Tian Wen drove him away. Most of the diners were just following the trend. When he was resigned, he basically ran away.

However, the good reputation of the courtesy corporal earned him a wide reputation among the countries, and what followed was an official position. King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard about the name of Lord Mengchang, and asked his younger brother, Lord Jingyang, to come to Qi to serve as a minister. The proton was exchanged for Tian Wen to go to Qin as prime minister. At the request of King Qi Min, Tian Wen went. He became the prime minister of Qin, but soon someone analyzed King Zhaoxiang of Qin: As a noble of Qi, Tian Wen must first consider the interests of Qi when making decisions, which will definitely be detrimental to Qin.

So King Zhaoxiang of Qin deposed Tian Wen and imprisoned him. At this time, Tian Wen’s diners played a role. With the help of the roosters and dog robbers, Tian Wen successfully escaped back to Qi.

On the way back to the country, he passed by the State of Zhao, and Lord Pingyuan of Zhao State entertained him. However, because someone was curious about the appearance of Lord Mengchang, he was disappointed at first glance. He thought he was a handsome young man, but he turned out to be a short and capable man. Mengchangjun couldn't help but express contempt. In anger, Mengchangjun ordered the diners to massacre an entire county.

Tian Wen, who returned to the State of Qi, was favored by King Min of Qi. He once again served as prime minister and took charge of the national affairs of the State of Qi. Tian Wen, who was determined to retaliate, wanted to unite Han and Wei to attack the State of Qin. The army suppressed the border and reached Hangu. Guan, Qin showed weakness.

Lu Li, who escaped from Qin, became the prime minister of Qi. In order to squeeze out Lu Li, Tian Wen did not hesitate to collude with Wei Ran of Qin and let Qin attack Qi.

The reputation of Lord Mengchang is getting bigger and bigger, even surpassing that of King Min of Qi. King Min of Qi has been looking for opportunities to deal with Tian Wen. When Tian Jia of Qi State rebelled, King Min of Qi took the opportunity to make a big fuss. Tian Wen then resigned due to illness and returned to Xue Yi.

Tian Wen, who returned to Xue Yi, went to Wei and became the prime minister of Wei. Tian Wen joined forces with Qin and Zhao to assist Yan in attacking Qi. Qi was defeated and King Min of Qi fled. He was killed and King Xiang of Qi succeeded to the throne. At this time, Tian Wen did not belong to any vassal state and was neutral among the countries.
