In addition to serving as a first-class judge who is famous throughout the country, Di Renjie is also a civil and military all-rounder, who can govern the country and assist the government, and has always been valued by the vicious and difficult Empress Wu Zetian, and he is the prime minister until his death; Wu Neng guarded the frontier and repelled the Khitan.

He was a rare upright official when Wu Zetian was in power, and he once had ups and downs in the sea, but he was very good at what he did, and when he was the county magistrate, the people built a shrine when he was alive. After serving as the prime minister, Wu Zetian attached great importance to him, and until his death, he made certain corrections to the maladministration of Wu Zetian's court. In the era of Wu Zetian, the rule of Zhenguan was inherited, and the rule of Kaiyuan was opened, and Di Renjie, a famous minister through the ages, made great contributions.

Di Renjie, whose name is Huaiying, was born in Taiyuan in the Tang Dynasty. Born into a bureaucratic family, he entered the public service as a teenager and performed extraordinarily, but after being falsely accused, he was appreciated by his superiors, and since then he has entered the legal profession, gradually rising to the position of first-class justice.

Di Renjie is a workaholic, he dealt with many cases of his predecessor for a long time within a year, released tens of thousands of innocent people who were wronged, and immediately became famous at home and abroad, becoming a detective-level Qingtian master hanging high in the mirror. Therefore, he was appreciated by Wu Zetian, and after Wu Zetian became the emperor, he became the prime minister and was highly used.

Di Renjie was born in the family of the eunuch, his grandfather Di Xiaoxu served as the Shangshu Zuocheng of the Zhenguan Imperial Court of Tang Taizong, and his father Di Zhixun was the official to the governor of Kui. He received strict training from an early age, and when he was a teenager, he took the Ming Jing Examination and passed the first place, and successfully entered the official career.

Di Renjie just debuted and behaved extraordinary, when he joined the army in Bianzhou, he was framed, and at this time, Yan Liben, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, inspected Henan as a central inspection officer and accepted the case. He not only found that Di Renjie was innocent, but also found that Di Renjie had both virtue and talent, praised him as a pearl in the sea, and immediately recommended him to join the army as the law of the state, and Di Renjie has since entered the legal profession.

Di Renjie was unexpectedly promoted after being falsely accused, which shows that Di Renjie is really talented and virtuous, even when he is unlucky, he can't hide his shining golden light. During his tenure, Di Renjie gradually became familiar with the art of war, punishment, official rule and other aspects of the rules and regulations, which laid a good foundation for his life.

Di Renjie's reputation for talent and virtue gradually spread to Tang Gaozong, and he was promoted to Dali Cheng and was in charge of the country's criminal law. In just one year in office, he has decided thousands of cases that had previously backlogged, involving 17,000 people. He was fair and honest, discerning and decisive, wise and decisive, and his reputation was immediately shocked, and everyone in the government and the opposition respected this judge who judged cases like a god.

Di Renjie will never bend the law for personal gain, and in order to uphold the law, he even dares to commit direct advice. Once, two generals, Quan Shancai, the general of Zuo Weiwei, and Fan Huaiyi, the general of Zhonglang of the right prison gate, mistakenly cut down the cypress trees in the cemetery of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Gaozong lost his temper and ordered the two of them to be beheaded immediately.

Di Renjie said: "The state has enacted a clear law, according to the law, the two generals should not be sentenced to death. ”

Gaozong said angrily: "They made me an unfilial son, and I have to be executed!"

Di Renjie insisted: "According to the law, the death penalty should not be imposed but must be imposed, just because I cut down a cypress tree by mistake and executed two generals, the future assembly will discuss what kind of monarch Your Majesty is? I dare not trap Your Majesty in the middle of nothing." Tang Gaozong immediately repented and spared the two of them from capital crimes, and Di Renjie became famous in the capital.

Later, Di Renjie was promoted to Duzhi Langzhong, and Tang Gaozong traveled with the martial arts, and sent Di Renjie to be the envoy of Zhiton, and first went to arrange the food and accommodation on the way. The emperor's tourist route had to pass through the Jealous Shrine, and local legend has it that if a gorgeously dressed person passed through the Jealous Shrine, it would definitely lead to a storm, and the local governor and governor Shi Li Chongxuan ordered tens of thousands of people to rebuild the imperial road to please the emperor and empress.

Di Renjie disagreed and said: "The Son of Heaven is paraded, the wind will come to blow away the dust, and the rain master will come to sprinkle the wet road, why avoid the jealous girl?"

As a result, tens of thousands of people were spared heavy labor and avoided the loss of labor and money. When Tang Gaozong heard about it, he praised him and said: "Di Renjie is a real husband. "Di Renjie not only skillfully praised the emperor, but also benefited the people, and captured the hearts of both sides, which is really very skillful.

After Wu Zetian claimed that the emperor established the Zhou Dynasty, he appointed Di Renjie as the local official and the Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Pingzhangshi, that is, he entered the cabinet and became one of the prime ministers, but it was very short-lived. Once the empress deliberately tested Di Renjie and said: "Your political performance is very good, but someone says bad things about you in front of me, do you want to know who said it?"

Di Renjie said: "If Your Majesty thinks that the courtier has done something wrong, the minister will of course change it; if Your Majesty understands that the courtier is not at fault, it is the luck of being a courtier." Who said bad things about me, I don't want to know. Even Wu Zetian thinks that Di Renjie is really a loyal elder with an open mind.

Wu Zetian's trust and reliance on Di Renjie is beyond the reach of all courtiers, and she often affectionately calls Di Renjie the elder of the country, instead of calling him by his name. Di Renjie has a hard temper and likes to argue loudly in front of Wu Zetian in the court, Wu Zetian is respected as an empress and is famous for his violence, but he often submits to his opinions. Wu Zetian favored his male subordinates so much with his female boss, and was later insisted that Di Renjie was very handsome, and Wu Zetian had a crush on him all his life, but he rejected him awe-inspiringly.

Although Di Renjie has both ability and political integrity, his time as prime minister this time was very short, because it was in a period of terror at that time, and the streets were full of whistleblowers. A year after Di Renjie became prime minister, he was falsely accused of rebellion by the head of the cool officials, Lai Junchen. According to the law of the time, a person who confessed his guilt immediately upon questioning could be exempted from the death penalty.

When Junchen interrogated Di Renjie, Di Renjie probably had been a chief judge, and he had a thorough understanding of the psychology of officers and soldiers treating prisoners, and immediately replied: "Now is the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am an old minister of the Tang Dynasty, and I am willing to be killed, and I did participate in the rebellion." ”

Lai Junchen was really very satisfied, and Di Renjie was spared the pain of flesh and skin. However, although Di Renjie is not losing his roundness, he is still extreme in the big festival. Someone came to him and told him that as long as another official was implicated in prison, the sentence could be commuted, but Di Renjie immediately refused, and said: "The emperor and the queen of earth, I will not do such a thing when I die." After saying that, he slammed his head against the pillar in the prison, bleeding all over his face, and scared the people who came to persuade him half to death.

Di Renjie is worthy of being a judge who decides the case like a god, and there are quite a lot of ways to deal with it, he took advantage of the time when the jailer was not paying attention, secretly opened the sheet, wrote a statement, hid it in the mezzanine of his padded jacket, and said to the jailer: "The weather has become hot, please give this padded jacket to my family, remove the cotton wool and send it back." ”

The jailer stupidly handed over the padded jacket to Di Renjie's son Di Yuanguang, and Di Yuanguang saw the situation and immediately appealed. Wu Zetian personally summoned Di Renjie and said, "Why didn't you rebel but admit it?"

Di Renjie said: "If you don't admit it, you will be killed a long time ago." ”

So Wu Zetian released Di Renjie and others, Di Renjie used his alertness to escape death, and actually came out of the palace of the king of Hades alive, which is about a 1 in 10,000 chance, but he was still demoted to the official and went to the local government to do the county order.

Di Renjie used his talent as a prime minister to become a county magistrate in the local area, and naturally he did a good job, and the people were grateful to Dade. Later, the Khitan harassed the Hebei region, and Wu Zetian hurriedly summoned Di Renzhuo to come, and he fought back against the Khitan without blood.

In order to commend his merits, Wu Zetian personally gave the purple robe and the turtle belt, and wrote the inscription on the purple robe: "Applying political skills, keeping clean and diligent, promoting the position, and encouraging ministers" twelve golden characters. Di Renjie was recalled to the Central Committee and soon resumed his post as prime minister.

Wu Zetian's nephews Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi sent people to lobby Wu Zetian several times to ask to be the crown prince. Minister Li Zhaode and others persuaded Wu Zetian that his aunt and nephew were not as close as mother and son, and Li Xian, the king of Luling, should be appointed as the crown prince. Di Renjie has been with Wu Zetian for a long time, and he understands the female emperor very thoroughly, and he also took the opportunity to add the material and said: "If Your Majesty makes your son the crown prince, it will be a long live for a thousand years, and you can always enjoy the sacrifice that your son gave you in the Taimiao; ”

Wu Zetian was a little annoyed and said: "This is my family matter, don't get involved blindly." ”

Di Renjie was a hard bone, and said unyieldingly: "The person who is the emperor, the family and the four seas, what is not His Majesty's family matter? I am the prime minister, how can I not care?"

Wu Zetian finally listened to Di Renjie's advice, recalled King Luling and established him as the emperor's heir, continued Tang Zuo, and fell into the hands of Wu's nephews, and later generations praised Di Renjie for his contribution to restoring the Tang family.

Di Renjiewen can be the prime minister, Wu can break the Khitan, and he is also very good at recommending talents. Wu Zetian asked him to recommend a prime minister's talent, Di Renjie praised the local official Zhang Cambodia for his talent and virtue, and Wu Zetian promoted Zhang Cambodia to be the Sima of Luozhou.

After a while, Wu Zetian asked Di Renjie to recommend the general's talent, Di Renjie said: "Zhang Cambodia, who I recommended last time, you haven't been appointed yet." ”

Wu Zetian said that he had been promoted, and Di Renjie said: "The talent I recommend is to be the prime minister, not to be Sima." ”

Zhang Cambodia was finally transferred to the central government, and after several promotions, he really became the prime minister, but he was almost eighty years old at that time, and Wu Zetian didn't think he was old.

After Di Renjie's death, the old prime minister Zhang Cambodia launched a palace coup d'état, supported Zhongzong and restored the Tang Dynasty title, it can be said that Di Renjie once again made indirect contributions to the restoration of the Tang Dynasty. Di Renjie successively recommended dozens of shrewd and capable officials such as Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan, all of whom later became famous ministers of Zhongxing in the Tang Dynasty.

Someone praised Di Renjie and said: "The peaches and plums in the world are all under your door." ”

Di Renjie replied: "I recommend talents for the country, not for myself. "Di Renjie is such an iron plate, and it is very difficult to compliment him.

Di Renjie wanted to sue the old man for his glorious retirement several times, but Wu Zetian always refused to approve it. Every time Di Renjie came to see her, she stopped Di Renjie from bowing and bowing, saying, "Seeing you kneeling, my body hurt first. ”

Wu Zetian was afraid that Di Renjie would be too old to work excessively, so he specially warned the officials of the DPRK and China: "If it is not a first-class military matter, don't bother Mr. Di." ”

Di Renjie died of illness, Wu Zetian cried sadly and said: "Since then, the court has been empty, why did God take away my country elder so early?"
