Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 395 The Art of the Emperor
"What are you waiting for?"

At this moment, in a corner of Linzi City, in Da Sima Mansion, Tian Rangju stared at the menacing soldiers in front of him with a look of grief and indignation.

His wife and children have been guarded by Qi army officers and men, guarding them like thieves and criminals.

Even Tian Rangju himself has been surrounded by strong soldiers.

One of the leading generals bowed to Tian Rangju and said, "Grand Sima, the monarch wants to summon you. Please!"

summoned?

This is obviously being escorted to be interrogated!

Tian Rangju was helpless, but he didn't resist. He followed the group of soldiers silently, boarded the army chariot, and went straight to the Forbidden Palace.

When Tian Rangju saw Qi Hou Lu Chujiu, he saw a large group of important officials of Qi State, including Tian Qi, Liang Qiuju, and the heads of the three major families of Bao, Gao, and Guo.

This made Tian Rangju feel grief and indignation in his heart!
"Da Sima, do you know why the widow summoned you this time?"

Lu Chujiu squinted his eyes and asked, his expression extremely unkind.

"I don't know, please ask the king to make it clear!"

"Hmph, you have colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and you have written letters with Jin people in private, and there are witnesses. How do you explain this?"

Lu Chujiu asked with a gloomy expression.

"Where are the so-called personal and physical evidences of the monarch? Monarchs, ministers cannot suffer such injustice!"

Tian Rangju asked unwillingly.

"Okay! Tian Rangju, since you want someone to testify, I will help you!"

Lu Chujiu immediately slapped the table and shouted, "Come here! Bring witnesses!"

As soon as these words came out, the servants who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time immediately brought a man in luxurious clothes and a rat-headed man into the hall.

At the same time, a servant carried a small box into the hall.

Tian Rangju recognized the man at a glance.

Isn't it his cousin?
"Chennan Wei Tianrang, see the king!"

The man who claimed to be Tian Rang hurriedly bowed to Lu Chujiu on the Majesty's platform.

"Tian Rang, tell me everything you know."

"promise."

Looking at Lu Chujiu who was not angry and arrogant on the majesty's platform, and then looking at his dark-faced cousin Tian Rangju, Tian Rang couldn't help but lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the last battle of Funiu Mountain, Tian Rangju On the eve of defeating the allied forces of the feudal lords, he ordered the ministers to secretly inform him and the people of Jin."

"In this box are the letters that Tian Rangju has had for many years with the people of Jin. They are evidences. Please learn from me!"

After saying that, Tian Rang prostrated himself on the floor, unable to kneel for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Tian Rangju couldn't help glaring at Tian Rang, and said angrily: "Tian Rang! Don't spit blood here!"

"When will I ask you to deliver the letter for me? And when will I secretly communicate with the people of Jin?"

"shut up!"

Before Tian Rangju finished speaking, Lu Chujiu immediately interrupted, frowned, with a look of disgust on his face, and said: "Tian Rangju, now there are all witnesses and evidences, and the documents in this box are all searched from your house. Come!"

"Tian Rang is your cousin and was promoted by you. His kindness can be said to be as great as a mountain. If it is not about the rise and fall of the country, how can Tian Rang slander you with slander?"

"Tian Rangju, don't you hurry up and recruit from the truth?"

Hearing this, Tian Rangju's heart was ashamed for a moment, he just let out a miserly smile, without too many excuses, because he knew that he couldn't argue with a hundred words now!
Whether it is Xiangguo Tianqi, or the heads of the three major families of Bao, Gao, and Guo, they are all at odds with Tian Rangju.

Now, even his cousin Tian Rang, who was promoted by Tian Rangju himself, is biting back at him.

Even the monarch Lu Chujiu is questioning him!

What should Tian Rangju do?
For a moment, he only felt a bolt from the blue, as if the whole world had abandoned him, and everyone had betrayed him.

Xiangguo Tianqi said in an even more comfortable way: "Rangju, how did you secretly communicate with the Jin people about the song, and how much information did you sell about my country of Qi? You should recruit them quickly."

"I believe that the monarch will definitely think of your past achievements, let the net out and punish you lightly."

"Heh...hahahahaha!"

Tian Rangju suddenly laughed wildly, as if he had fallen into a state of madness.

"Tian Rangju, why are you laughing?"

Lu Chujiu narrowed his eyes and said.

"The king and the ministers laugh at those who suffer such unfair injustice, unwilling, unwilling!"

Tian Rangju gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to commit a crime, why do you have nothing to say? Tian Rangju can't bear such injustices. Please let the king give the dead minister to prove his innocence!"

"you!"

Lu Chujiu's face was very ugly.

At this time, Tian Qi came out and said: "Your Majesty, Tian Rangju claims to have been wronged, and there may be grievances in it. Please check it out!"

"What kind of grievance is there?"

Everything was just as Tian Qi expected. His speech was to protect Tian Rangju. Shangqing Guoxia immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "The evidence is convincing! Tian Rangju is undoubtedly collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that Tian Rangju's collusion with the enemy and treason is unforgivable. Please behead him as a warning to others!"

"inappropriate!"

Tian Qi replied, "No matter what, Tian Rangju has made great contributions to the community and our Qi country. How can he be killed for his crime?"

"Xiangguo wants to protect Tian Rangju?"

"Tian Qi is just telling the truth."

Tian Qi continued to confront Guo Xia tit for tat.

Lu Chujiu, who was sitting on the platform, could see clearly.

However, this is exactly what Lu Chujiu expected to see.

What is the Emperor's Art?

The so-called emperor's technique is the strategy displayed by the emperor. The emperor uses this strategy to play with all the courtiers in applause, so as to consolidate his country and status.

No matter how capable or capable a courtier is, he can never threaten his status and power!
Lu Chujiu is exactly this kind of high-ranking person who is good at playing tricks.

He knew that as Tian Qi became the Prime Minister of Qi State, Tian's power and reputation rose, and none of the major families in Qi State could compare with Tian's.

And after Lu Chujiu reactivated Tian Rangju as the great Sima, the Tian family was even more prosperous for a while.

Although Tian Rangju had never been close to Tian Qi, Lu Chujiu always had this kind of worry in his heart.

After all, the military and political power of the Qi State is in the hands of the Tian family, which is always not conducive to Lu Chujiu.

The way to be a king is to be good at checks and balances!

Therefore, after Tian Qi "destroyed relatives with righteousness" and reported Tian Rangju, Liang Qiuju and the heads of the three major families of Bao, Gao, and Guo all impeached Tian Rangju one after another.

without understanding!

Lu Chujiu was not a partial listener, he knew that there were many doubts about Tian Rangju's matter.

But so what?

Lu Chujiu must weaken Tian's power in Qi, and the first victim is Tian Rangju!
"Tian Rangju's collusion with the enemy and treason is an unforgivable crime. However, the widow thinks that he has made contributions to the community, so let the net be lenient."

Lu Chujiu immediately said in a deep voice: "From now on, Tian Rangju will be demoted to be a commoner, and the seal and ribbon of Da Sima will be taken back!"
