In the 16th year of Qi Weiwang (34 1 year BC, Biography of Historical Records of Meng Changjun was wrongly written as two years), Tian Ying attacked Wei together with Tian Ji and Sun Bin, defeated Wei Jun in Maling, captured Wei Jun coach Shen alive, and killed Wei Jun general Pang Juan, which is known as the Battle of Maling in history.
Xue will be named Tian Ying. Chu Weiwang was furious after hearing this, and prepared to crusade against Qi. Qi Weiwang has the idea of stopping fiefs. Sun said, "The achievement of fiefdoms is not in Qi, but in Chu. I'm going to convince the king of Chu that he wants to give you land, which is more urgent than Qi. " Tian Ying said, "I am willing to entrust this matter to you." Tian Ying said to him, "Lu and Song both serve Chu, but Qi doesn't. This is because Qi Guoqiang, Lu Guo and Song Guo are weak. Does the king only think that the weak countries of Lu and Song are beneficial to him, but he doesn't hate that the strength of Qi is harmful to him? If the State of Qi divided the land to Tian Ying, it weakened itself. I hope the king will not stop it. " Sun was right, so he didn't stop making Xue Di Tian Ying.
In the thirty-fifth year of Qi Weiwang (32 1 BC), in April, Qi Weiwang named Tian Ying as Emperor Xuedi (Biography of Historical Records and Meng Changjun was mistakenly named as King Ji Min for three years). In the same year 10, the construction of snow dike city began.
In the thirty-sixth year of Qi Weiwang (320 BC), Qi Weiwang died and Qi Xuanwang succeeded Qi Xuanwang to the throne.
In the seventh year of Qi Xuanwang (3 13 BC), Tian Ying was ordered to go to Korea and Wei, and surrendered to Qi after some activities. Tian Ying accompanied Han Zhaohou and Wei Huiwang to meet Qi Xuanwang in Southeast Asia, and the three countries left after signing an alliance.
In the ninth year of Qi Xuanwang (3 1 1 BC), Tian Ying became the minister of Qi. Qi Xuanwang and Wei Xiangwang called each other king in Xuzhou League, which was called King of Xuzhou in history. When Chu Weiwang learned about this, he hated Tian Ying very much and thought that all this was planned by Tian Ying.
In the tenth year of Qi Xuanwang (3 10 BC), Chu Weiwang sent troops to attack Qi, and Chu defeated Qi in Xuzhou, so Chu Weiwang sent people to kill Tian Ying (trying to force Qi to expel Tian Ying). Tian Ying was afraid and sent Zhang Chou to persuade Chu Weiwang. Zhang Chou said to Chu Weiwang, "Your Majesty won the battle in Xuzhou, but Pan Tian was not taken seriously. Pan Tian has made contributions to the State of Qi, and people are willing to make use of him. However, Tian Ying doesn't like Pan Tian, but uses Shen Tie. Shen Tie, the courtiers and the people didn't want to be used by him, so the king defeated him. If Tian Ying is fired now, Pan Tian will definitely be reused. He can reorganize the Qi army against the Qi king, which is definitely unfavorable to the Qi king. " Chu Weiwang therefore forget about it.
In the 19th year of Qi Xuanwang (30 1 BC), Tian Ying had been a minister for eleven years, but she often lived in Xuecheng, developed production, attached importance to agriculture and commerce, and hoarded wealth. In the same year, Qi Xuanwang died, and his son became king of Qi.
At the beginning, Tian Ying had more than forty sons, and his concubine gave birth to Tian Wen. Tian Wen was born on May 5th, so Tian Ying told Tian Wen's mother, "Don't feed him." But Tian Wen's mother secretly kept him alive. When he grew up, his mother introduced Tian Wen to Tian Ying through his brother. After seeing Tian Wen, Tian Ying said angrily to her mother, "I asked you to throw this child away, but you dared to feed him. Why? " Without waiting for Tian Wen's mother to answer, Tian Wen immediately kowtowed and asked Tian Ying, "What is the reason why you don't want to raise a child born in May?" Tian Ying replied: "Children born in May will be as tall as a portal, which will harm mom and dad." Tian Wen said: "Is man's destiny given by heaven? Or is it granted by the portal? " Tian Ying didn't know how to answer, so she was silent. Tian Wen went on to say, "If this is a gift from heaven, why are you worried?" ? If it is given by the portal, who can grow so tall as long as the portal is raised! "Tian Ying was speechless and scolded:" Stop it! "
After a while, Tian Wen took the opportunity to ask his father Tian Ying, "What's the son's name?" Tian Ying replied: "It's called grandson." Tian Wen asked again, "What's the grandson's name?" Tian Ying replied: "It's called Xuansun." Tian Wen asked again, "What's the name of Xuansun?" Tian Ying said, "I don't know." Tian Wen said: "You became the prime minister of Qi and experienced three generations of monarchs. However, the territory of Qi has not expanded, but your private property has accumulated thousands of dollars of wealth, and you can't see a talent under your door. It is said that a general's family must be a general and a country's family must go abroad. Now your concubines can trample on silks and satins, but wise men can't wear coarse cloth and short clothes; Your servants and slaves have leftover broth, but wise people can't even eat chaff. Now you are still trying to increase your savings and leave them to those who can't even name them, but you forget that this country is losing power among princes day by day. I feel very strange in private. "
Since then, Tian Ying has changed her attitude towards Tian Wen and attached great importance to him, making him responsible for housework and receiving guests. With the increasing number of guests coming and going, Tian Wen's reputation spread to various vassal States. The vassal States sent people to ask Tian Ying to make Tian Wen a prince, and Tian Ying agreed. After Tian Ying's death, posthumous title appeased Guo Jun. Tian Wen inherited the title of Tian Ying for Meng Changjun in Yi Xue.
Anecdotal anecdote Tian Ying, a big fish in the sea, wants to build a city defense fortification in Xuedi, a fief. Because this would arouse Qi Weiwang's suspicion, many civil servants went to admonish him. Tian Ying then ordered the communicator not to inform the admonished public. A doorman asked to see Tian Ying, and he promised, "I will say three words and leave. If I say one more word, I am willing to accept the punishment of cooking and killing. " Tian Ying met him later. The guest walked up to him quickly and said, "Big fish in the sea." Then turn around and go. Tian Ying quickly asked, "Does your husband have anything to say?" The doorman said, "I dare not make fun of my life!" " "Tian Ying said," Never mind, please go ahead, sir! " The doorman replied, "haven't you heard of the big fish in the sea?" "The fishnet hook can't do anything about it, but once it leaves the water because of complacency, ants can manipulate it at will. In contrast, Qi is like the "water" of your highness. What's the use of studying if you are always angry? And if Qi is lost, even if the walls of Yi Xue are built as high as the sky, what's the use? " Tian Ying praised: "Yes." So I stopped building the city.
Wang Wei Tian Ying was persuaded and said to Qi Weiwang: "The book of five senses must be checked every day and many times." Qi Weiwang said, "I'm tired of checking the affairs of an official every day for five days." So I left these things to Jing to handle.
Tian Ying is very friendly to his customers. However, his appearance is informal, so people hate him. On one occasion, a man named Wei Shi advised Tian Ying to drive away Qi Mianbian, but Tian Ying didn't listen and Wei Shi left. At this point, Tian Wen, the son of Tian Ying, also secretly persuaded Qi Maojun to be fired. Unexpectedly, Tian Ying lost her temper and said, "Even if someone uproots our family and destroys our family business in the future, I will not hesitate as long as I argue with appearances!" So Tian Ying gave Angie an excellent guest room and sent his eldest son to catch the bus and wait on him day and night.
A few years later, Qi Weiwang died and Qi Xuanwang succeeded him. Tian Ying was at odds with Qi Xuanwang and left Beijing to live in Xuecheng. Jimaobian followed him to Xuecheng. Soon, Qi Maobian decided to bid farewell to Tian Ying and go back to Qi to see Qi Xuanwang. At this time, Tian Ying said: "Since the King hates me Tian Ying, why don't you come here to die!" Mao Qi argued, "I don't want to live at all, so I have to go." Tian Ying couldn't stop it, so Qi Maobian went to see Xuan Wang.
Mao Qi argued to Linzi, the capital. Qi Xuanwang knew he was early, and he waited for Mao Qi to argue angrily. After seeing QiMaoBian, Qi Xuanwang first asked him, "You are Jing's favorite person. Does Jing Guo Jun listen to you in everything? " Mao Qi argued, "It's not bad that I'm Jing's favorite, but it's not necessarily true that Jing listens to me. For example, when the king was still a prince, the minister once said to Jing, "The prince has an unfriendly face and a big chin, and looks like a pig. Making such a person king will inevitably violate the correct path of management, so it is best to cancel the prince and appoint Wei Ji's son as the prince. "However, Jing Guo Jun cried and said to the minister,' I can't do this because I can't bear to do it.' First of all, if we had listened to the opinions of all ministers, we would not have suffered such persecution today. When I went to Xuecheng, Chu Xiang Zhaoyang wanted to exchange several times of land for Xuecheng. I said to Jing,' You must accept this request.' Jing Guo Jun said:' I got Xue Di from the former king. Now, even if I have a bad relationship with the later king, if I exchange Xue Di, how can I tell the former king after I die? Besides, the ancestral temple of my late king is in the snow. Can I give it to the State of Chu? "And won't listen to me. This is the second thing. " Qi Xuanwang couldn't help sighing, his face changed and said, "Jing Guojun's feelings for me are so deep! I am too young to understand these things. Would you like to invite Jing Guojun back for me? " Qi Maobian replied: "All right."
Tian Ying puts on the clothes and hat given by Qi Weiwang and the sword given by Tian Ying. Qi Xuanwang personally went to the suburbs to meet Tian Ying and watched him cry. When Tian Ying went to the imperial court, Qi Xuanwang asked him to be the national ambassador. Tian Ying declined politely and had to accept it. Seven days later, Tian Ying insisted on resigning in the name of illness. Three days later, Qi Xuanwang agreed to his request.

According to historical records, Tian Ying is Qi Weiwang's youngest son and Qi Xuanwang's younger brother. This is not right. Tian Ying first appeared in the Battle of Maling in 34 1 year, when Qi Weiwang was only 38 years old. Judging from Tian Ying's political demands of dedicating himself to Qi and abolishing the country, he can't be his younger brother.
