Talk about Qi Huangong and Emperor Taizong.

Qi Huangong (65438+ 643 BC1October 7th), the first of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, reigned from 685 BC to 643 BC, and was the15th monarch of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. His surname is Jiang and his first name is Lu.

Qi Huangong is the twelfth generation grandson of Lu Shang in Jiang Taigong, and the third and youngest son of Rufu, Duke of Xi. His mother is a patriot. After Qi Xianggong, the eldest son of Xi in Qi Huangong, and Gongsun Ignorance, the nephew of Xi in Qi Huangong, died in the civil strife in Qi, Xiaobai and Gongsun Zijiu, the sons of Qi, successfully competed for the throne.

Qi Huangong took Guan Zhong as the prime minister, carried out reforms, and implemented the system of military and political integration and integration of defense and civilian technologies, which made Qi gradually stronger. In 68 1 year BC, Song, Chen, Cai, Zhu and other governors were convened in Qibeixing (now Liaocheng East, Shandong Province), which was the first vassal in history to replace Zhou as the leader.

At that time, the Chinese vassals in the Central Plains were attacked by nomadic tribes such as Rong Di, so Qi Huangong played the banner of "respecting the king and resisting foreigners", attacked Shanrong in the north and cut Chu in the south, becoming the first overlord in the Central Plains and being rewarded by the Zhou Emperor.

Qi Huangong was fatuous in his later years. After Guan Zhong's death, he hired villains such as Yiya and Vertical Carving, and eventually starved to death in civil strife.
