History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"Compared to the others, there is not much information about this one of the Ten Philosophers. Tian Rangju, also known as Sima Tian Rangju, was a native of the Qi State in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was a descendant of Tian Wan and a branch of the Qi Tian family."

"Tian Ranju is a famous military strategist who succeeded Jiang Shang and led the Qi army to repel the invading armies of Jin and Yan. He was named Grand Sima for his merits, and his descendants were called Sima in later generations."

"The history is too long, and some information has long been lost in later generations. I can only briefly introduce it. The glorious deeds of those who can enter the Martial Temple are not small."

"Although Tian Ranju came from a big family, people in ancient times did not think highly of concubines. Because they were born as concubines, Tian Ranju was not valued."

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, whether they were princes or nobles, they generally had a system of monogamy and multiple concubines. Children born by a husband and his wife were called legitimate children, and children born by other concubines were called concubines. Some nobles even had children with women who were not concubines. My child, this is the best among common people."

"These children of concubines are not qualified to inherit noble positions. At most, they can live without worries about food and clothing. Unless there is great turmoil in the family, they will have a chance to rise to the top."

"But among these concubine children, no matter what their conduct is, some have real abilities. These people are not willing to wait for death."

"For example, the traitor Kai Fang during the period of Duke Huan of Qi was the eldest son of the concubine of Wei State. Although he was the eldest son, Kai Fang's development path in Wei State was blocked, so he went to Qi State and gained the trust of Duke Huan of Qi. , It’s really messed up the Qi State. Of course, Tian Juju is also the best among the concubines! "

"As a concubine of the great noble Tian family, Tian Ruju has a wealth of literary, military and military skills, but they are suffocating and unable to be used."

"Tian Ruoju demonstrated his skills directly in front of Yan Zi, which impressed the Prime Minister and got Yan Zi's recommendation."

"Tian Ruoju knew that this was his opportunity, and showed his talent in front of Qi Jinggong, and was able to go on stage to worship the general and take charge of the military."

"Such achievements are definitely inseparable from his hard work. He was smart and studious since he was a child, and especially had an unusual talent for military affairs. Tian Juanju made his fortune at a time when the Qi State was in crisis. The Qi State was besieged by Jin and Yan and was defeated repeatedly. Prime Minister Yan Ying recommended Tian Rangju to Qi Jinggong, so Qi Jinggong summoned him."

"Qi Jinggong is a true drunkard. When he is in a good mood, he will listen to the advice of wise ministers. When he is in a bad mood, he will drink and have fun with his flattery ministers."

"Qi Jinggong met Tian Ranju, and the two drank directly. The two of them drank wine and talked about military and state affairs. They were very speculative, so Qi Jinggong immediately appointed him as a general and ordered him to lead the army to counterattack the Jin and Yan forces."

"It is not easy for a newcomer with no fame to gain a foothold in the army. The first thing Tian Ranju did was to establish prestige, so he asked Qi Jinggong to send a favorite to serve as a supervisor. Qi Jinggong sent his favorite Minister Zhuang Jia."

"Zhuang Jia belongs to the faction of courtiers of Jinggong. He plays with Qi Jinggong all day long and is deeply favored. Tian Ranju and Zhuang Jia agreed to order troops at the camp gate at noon the next day. Zhuang Jia was very happy because he became the supervisor of the army. His friends supported him. I congratulated and saw him off, drank until late at night, and because he didn’t understand military regulations very well, he delayed arriving at the camp gate until the afternoon of the next day.”

"Thereupon, Tian Rangju immediately beheaded the villagers and showed them to the public at the camp gate. The army was shocked. For a time, Tian Rangju's reputation spread throughout the army."

Li Si: This kills the chicken to scare the monkey, which makes Zhuang Jia pity.

Li Shimin: Although Zhuang Jia died unjustly, he was somewhat unjust.

Li Longji: Isn’t this Tian Rangju a bit too arrogant? He killed the favored Zhuang Jia just after he became an official.

Fusu: Let’s not say whether Tian Ranju’s friends who saw Zhuang Jia off the day before were doing fine work, flattering Zhuang Jia, drinking wine, or playing tricks on the wine. It’s just that Tian Ranju asked Qi Jinggong to send his favorite minister as a supervisor. Rather than being a wise minister, it is not difficult to see that Tian Ruoju had already planned this matter. "Liu Bang: Mr. Fusu can see it so deeply now. His Majesty the First Emperor's education is really good."

Qin Shihuang: I didn't expect that Fusu has seen so deeply now. This choice of a legal scholar is still wise.

Ying Zheng really did not expect Fusu to have such opinions this time. This is not a small improvement.

"For Tian Ruoju, this operation can only be said to be fast, ruthless and accurate!"

"The Qi State was in dire straits at that time. Although Tian Ruoju was ordered to join the army in the face of danger, the Qi army at that time was not very powerful and did not have any military discipline that an army should have."

"All dynasties rely on strict laws to maintain order. The army must have strict military laws to maintain the dignity of the army. The first thing Tian Ruoju did when he took office was to handle this matter."

"As Young Master Fusu said, this is indeed a plot by Tian Juanju. Tian Juanju came up with a clever plan and asked Qi Jinggong to assign him a supervisor, Zhuang Jia, so that when he kills Zhuang Jia, he can intimidate the soldiers of the three armies."

"With established prestige, Tian Ruoju set an example and ate and slept with the soldiers, which won the hearts of the soldiers. The soldiers were enthusiastic and willing to follow Tian Ruoju through life and death."

"Tian Ruoju transformed a group of scattered troops into a tiger and wolf army, which frightened the enemy and even the sick and wounded soldiers in the army asked to fight."

"Tian Ruoju cared deeply about the soldiers, personally taking care of their food and clothing, arranging their medical treatment, and even took out his military supplies to share with the soldiers, sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers."

"Such behaviors made the soldiers feel the general's care, and the relationship between Tian Zhuju and the soldiers became increasingly deeper."

"This kind of military strategy of combining kindness and power made the army led by Tian Juju unite as one, and the vigor of the army was naturally unstoppable."

"Living up to Tian Ranju's plan, the Qi army was invincible along the way, defeating the Jin and Yan armies, and quickly regained all the lost territory of Qi."

"When the Qi army returned home in triumph, Qi Jinggong and all the civil and military officials went to the outskirts to greet them and expressed their condolences to all the soldiers according to etiquette. Not only did Qi Jinggong not blame Tian Rangju for killing Zhuang Jia, but he also worshiped him as Grand Sima and let him take charge of the military and political power of Qi. .”

"Tian Ruoju's ability allowed the Tian family's power to grow in Qi State, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some officials and dignitaries. This is where his tragedy began."

"When Tian Ruoju was running the army, he was quick-thinking and came up with clever ideas, but when it came to serving the monarch, he seemed a bit clumsy."

"A banquet became the beginning of his misfortune."

"One day, Qi Jinggong was drinking for fun in the palace. He drank until night. He still wanted to drink, so he came to the residence of Prime Minister Yan Ying with his entourage. He wanted to have a night drink with Yan Ying, but Yan Ying persuaded him to refuse."

"After leaving Yan Ying's mansion, Qi Jinggong thought of Tian Ranju again. So the monarch and his entourage came to Tian Ranju's home again."
