田法章 / Tian Fazhang

田法章 / Tian Fazhang appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》72丨什么样的人 才是忠贞之士？ as the son of 齐湣王 after Qi Min Wang has been killed and 齐国 has been shattered by 燕国’s campaign. The episode presents him at the start of a survival story rather than as a developed ruler: he hides his identity and flees to avoid being killed.

《资治通鉴·周纪》73丨历史上自由恋爱的开创者是谁？ resolves that setup. Tian Fazhang hides in 莒城 at 太史角’s household, accepts servant labor to avoid discovery, and reveals his identity only after Qi ministers search for the royal heir. He is then installed as 齐襄王, making his flight a restoration path rather than only a survival episode.

The same source gives his restoration a personal branch through 君王后. Before he becomes king again, Taishi Jiao’s daughter notices him, treats him kindly, learns his identity, and forms a private relationship with him. After restoration, Tian Fazhang brings her out and makes her queen, turning the episode title’s 患难自主婚姻 theme into part of Qi’s restored court.
