When he was young, Di Renjie showed high emotional intelligence. He was very filial, once went to Bingzhou as an official, climbed Taihang Mountain, and saw a white cloud in the south, so he burst into tears: "My relatives live, under this cloud." ”

My dear dwells beneath this white cloud! So he wept and stood for a long time, waiting for the clouds to go away before resuming his journey.

This kind of great filial piety was very valued in the Tang Dynasty. The ancients believed that the stage of life was nothing more than the family and the court, and that filial piety should be paid attention to the family and loyalty to the court. In the future, when people educate their children, they often tell the story of Di Renjie, called "Baiyun Wangqin".

Not only filial piety to his elders, but also filial piety to other old people, this is what Confucianism often says, "the old man, and the old man", treat other old people as if they were their own elders, at that time there was no "touch porcelain" This said, so when I saw the old people of other people's families fall to the ground, there are still people who dare to help.

In Bingzhou, Di Renjie has a colleague named Zheng Chongzhi, his mother is sick, Zheng Chongzhi received an order again, asking him to go abroad, at that time it was not a beautiful thing to go abroad, a short trip took several months, and the long trip was several years, and the road was full of hardships and dangers, there was everything, and dead people often happened.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty government had special regulations on what level of envoys to go abroad and what level of bereavement benefits they enjoyed when they died abroad, which shows that this is not a good fact. So when it comes to going abroad, some people often shirk it, but Di Renjie is righteous, he said to his colleagues: "Mrs. Tai is critically ill, and the public envoy is far away, how can she worry about thousands of miles!" "Your old mother is sick, how can she make her feel sad about her son thousands of miles away! Therefore, Di Renjie proposed to replace Zheng Chongzhi as an envoy, and Zheng Chongzhen's move can be imagined.

And he wasn't the only one who was moved. At that time, Di Renjie's boss Lin Renji was having a conflict with Sima Li Xiaolian, and after hearing about this, he took the initiative to say to Li Xiaolian: "How can we be worthy of it?" "Aren't we two ashamed to hear this? So the two were reconciled. This is called the power of example. It is difficult for a unit to be united. Therefore, it is necessary to set an example and set a model.

Wherever Di Renjie goes, he can make decisions for the people. When he left, the common people were grateful to Dade and built a moral and political monument and even an ancestral shrine for him.

Di Renjie does not take things as joy or self-sorrow in his life, and his behavior is based on the overall situation. Once Wu Zetian once recalled the past in front of him and said: "Someone has falsely accused you before, do you want to know his name?" ”

Di Renjie's answer was: "He sued me, if I have it, I will change it, and if I don't, I will encourage it, and it will not hinder the overall situation." You sue me by his name. It is not conducive to the fraternity and unity of colleagues. Please, don't say anything. Wu Zetian sighed after hearing this.

It is precisely because of his integrity that the past dynasties have a very high evaluation of Di Renjie. As I said just now, the same thing - for example, Wu Zetian was advised to make the Li family the crown prince and not the Wu family as the crown prince - some people were criticized by historians of the past dynasties for taking the opportunity to seek long-term benefits for themselves, while Di Renjie was considered to be seeking benefits for the common people. This is the good result of good behavior.

Talent is extraordinary, Di Renjie has excellent temperament and talent. The history books say that Di Renjie is "uninhibited", which means that he is a person with a free and easy temperament. In addition to being chic, Di Renjie's personality is also very calm. It's been like this since childhood. One day when I was a child, there was a murder case in the Di family, a doorman was killed, and the county officials came to solve the case. The whole family was questioned, but the little Di Renjie sat in the study and read.

The county magistrate was very angry when he saw this: "Child, why don't you move?" Di Renjie replied: "Among the yellow scrolls." The sages are ready, but they still can't take it right. What a time to be a vulgar official, and see the blame! "In the books. I'm trying to talk to the sages, and I'm not done yet, so where do I have time to talk to you laypeople! With ordinary children on hold, it's too late to watch the excitement, how can you sit still.

The county clerk is equivalent to the police, and the police come to question, and he is so fluent in answers, not scared at all, very cool. This is Di Renjie's character - assertive, calm, and stubborn at the same time. Di Renjie has a good educational background and writes well.

Wu Zetian once praised Di Renjie in public for "being able to write" and writing well, you must know that Wu Zetian has a high level of cultural accomplishment, she will not praise anyone casually. There are also historical sources that Di Renjie is very good at medicine, knows acupuncture, and has a very high level. During the reign of Tang Gaozong, Di Renjie went to catch the exam, and saw a large number of people gathered at the foot of Mount Hua, all of them stretched their necks to watch, and there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child sitting in the middle of the crowd, with a big tumor on his nose, the tumor was very large, and it fell on his face, and his eyes were turned white. The child's family sat next to them, very anxious, and there was a big sign behind them that read: "If you can cure here, you will be rewarded with a thousand silk horses." It can be seen that this family has asked for medical advice and medicine, but it didn't work, so they went to the official road to offer a reward for treatment.

Di Renjie stepped forward and volunteered: "I can treat!" The child's parents hurriedly asked him to perform surgery, and the historical books say that he pricked a needle in the back of the child's head, and then pulled it out, and the tumor fell in his hand, and the child was saved.

This is a bit of a god, it must be the exaggeration of the legend, where is this acupuncture, it is obviously a laser knife. However, the story itself cannot be denied lightly because of this incident, because in the legends of the ancients, the medical skills of the divine doctor are always exaggerated and said to be miraculous. They think that the divine doctor must be gifted and different from mortals, so if you go to see the true story of Bian Que and Hua Tuo, there are a lot of exaggerations in it, but you can't say that Bian Que and Hua Tuo are completely fake.

It is estimated that this scholar still relies on surgery and medicine to treat his illness. The focus of this story is in the back, Di Renjie cured the child's illness, and the child's parents hurriedly pulled a cart of silk over to give it to him. A thousand horses of silk was a huge amount of money at that time, and the equivalent of RMB was more than 2 million, and this giant red envelope was resolutely rejected by Dr. Di. He said: "I treat your child to see that he is pitiful, I can't ask for your money, and I am not a 'skilled man'." ”

Di Renjie is very good at solving cases. In the second year of Shangyuan (675), he was summoned to Chang'an and became a Dali Temple, and soon set a record, with 17,800 cases a year. That's a staggering number, which means that an average of 49 cases are decided every day if you don't take a break.

That's a trial file, not a novel, and I can guarantee that most readers don't read novels that fast. Year down. The superiors came to evaluate the political performance, and the prime minister saw that Di Renjie was a newcomer. I casually gave a low grade. Di Renjie's superior, Dali Siqing Zhang Wenjun, hurriedly found the prime minister and said: "This is not good, it is unfair for you to give Di Renjie this result." ”

The prime minister asked, "Is he very capable?" How many cases are tried in a year? Zhang Wenqian said: "Seventeen thousand eight hundred." The prime minister was shocked. It can be seen how staggering this number is. As a result, he changed Di Renjie's grades to upper and lower grades. A novice can reach the upper and lower levels, which can be described as outstanding. Later, Di Renjie's reputation as a detective was related to his ability to solve cases in the local area and Dali Temple.

By the way, the judicial procedures of the Tang Dynasty are similar to today's, and general criminal cases (of course, including some civil cases, which have always been "criminal and civil" in ancient China) are first handed over to the local government where the incident occurred (the ancient government was the judicial organ).

It was then reported to the various judicial organs of the central government, among which Di Renjie's Dali Temple was generally responsible for hearing cases in which Jingshi sentenced him to "apprentice" (the Tang Dynasty punishment was divided into five levels: flogging, rod, apprentice, liu, and death). as well as the cases investigated and handled by Jin Wuwei, as well as the death penalty cases transferred by the local government.

There was a good tradition in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, that is, it was not shy about saying that the government would handle unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and if officials could correct unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, they would often be publicized as political achievements, rather than covered up for the purpose of protecting officials.

The Tang Dynasty judiciary also had the disadvantage of inefficiency, and it is said that many criminals spent their days in prisons in harsh conditions because their cases were not tried for a long time. As the days go by, the cases accumulate more and more, and it is called "stagnation".

Therefore, Di Renjie's trial of the case at an extremely fast speed is itself a kind of moral politics. His arrival greatly improved the work efficiency of Dali Temple and reduced the phenomenon of "stagnation", for which he won wide praise.

As can be seen from the above description. As far as the duties of Dali Temple are concerned, most of the cases should not be solved by Di Renjie himself. Although officials of Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty also directly participated in the trial of heavy cases from time to time, most of the cases were handed over to Dali Temple for review after the trial was completed by the grassroots officials. So I guess Di Renjie's main credit lies in reviewing the files. Discover suspicious points or real culprits from them, avoid unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and improve trial efficiency. Courage, combination of principle and flexibilityAs mentioned earlier, Di Renjie has been stubborn since he was a child, and he has adhered to principles all his life. This is one of the elements of his success. The first thing he caught the emperor's attention was his character. There were two generals, one named Quan Shancai and the other named Fan Huaiyi, who mistakenly cut down the cypress tree in Zhaoling, and Gaozong was furious when he found out.

If you go to someone's father's grave and cut down a tree, can they not be angry? What's more, it's still the emperor's father. Gaozong ordered that these two people must be dealt with strictly. The case was handed over to Di Renjie, who tried it in accordance with the provisions of the law and believed that the official should be dismissed.

As soon as Gaozong heard this, he exploded: "Quan Shancai cut down the tree of Zhaoling, which made me fall into a situation of unfilial piety, and I must be killed." Di Renjie fought hard and kept them, that was an artistic thing, he first put a high hat on the emperor: "People say that it is difficult to persuade the emperor, I think it will be difficult to meet a faint monarch like Yao Shun, and it will not be difficult to meet a Ming monarch like Yao Shun, I think it should not be difficult to tell you about this now." ”

Okay, set the trap for the Emperor - you don't want to be a faint king, so you must listen to me, right?

Then continue to find a gap for the leader tree: "Look at Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, someone stole the jade ring of the Gaozu Temple, Emperor Wen must behead this person all over the house, and the Minister of Law Enforcement insisted that the thief himself could only be executed according to the law, and in the end, Emperor Wen didn't agree?" ”

"If you look at Cao Pi back then, a minister advised him not to emigrate to Henan, but Cao Pi didn't listen, the minister went up and grabbed Cao Pi's clothes, and Cao Pi finally agreed.

If I can't persuade you in this matter today, I will be ashamed to see my predecessors. Then the stakes are revealed: "You killed two generals for a tree today, what will people say about you in a thousand years?" I stick to my principles today so that you won't be poked in the back in the future! "I'm all for your good.

Gaozong made him speechless by wearing a high hat and giving the steps, and finally simply played a trick: "I just want to kill these two people, how about you give me an extrajudicial punishment today?" When Di Renjie heard this, he sneered and said: "The law is formulated by you, you must abide by it, how can you change it casually, change it day and night, then the world will not be in chaos?"

You don't have to be extrajudicially tortured, okay! Let's just start today. The atmosphere is getting more and more tense, the emperor is so angry, the ministers are too frightened to speak, the emperor has high blood pressure, can you Di Renjie be responsible? Di Renjie's boss Zhang Wenjun held the wat board in his hand and waved it vigorously towards Di Renjie, which means: Okay, don't talk about it, go down, the emperor is anxious.

Di Renjie still doesn't care, hard top. In the end, Tang Gaozong gave in, he said: "Qing can abide by the law, and I have judges." "You can be so principled, I have a good judge, so I ordered the historian to compile this matter into the history books.

Then he awarded Di Renjie the official title of serving the imperial history. Tang Gaozong is really good, his personality is a little softer, but his bearing is still stronger than that of ordinary emperors. This incident brought Di Renjie into Wu Zetian's field of vision for the first time. At that time, Tang Gaozong's high blood pressure became more and more severe, and even his eyes were temporarily blind when he was seriously ill.

High blood pressure in the Tang Dynasty royal family is a family disease, many emperors have this disease, in addition to Gaozong, there are Gaozu, Taizong, Shunzong, Muzong, Wenzong, Xuanzong, etc., whether other emperors are not clear, if not, they should be pulled to do a paternity test, the bloodline is suspicious!

Gaozong was sick, Wu Zetian began to help deal with some government affairs, this person was extremely smart and capable, and handled it properly, Gaozong was very relieved of her, so he began to give her some decisions to do.

At this time, Wu Zetian "has the right to be the master of the people", which means that the power is as great as the emperor. So Di Renjie's move, Wu Zetian naturally saw it.

A few years later, in the edict appointing Di Renjie as the prime minister, Wu Zetian said this: "Yada political side, early to the court", which means that Di Renjie is very capable and has long taken on the important responsibilities of the court, which shows that she began to pay attention to Di Renjie very early.

After the Quan Shancai incident, Di Renjie went to do something again, and Tang Gaozong hurriedly agreed when he saw him, and told him: "Qing has the right to be good." "Do you know why I agreed to your request? Because of Quan Shancai, I obeyed you. In other words, Di Renjie has an aura in the emperor, and as soon as the emperor passes, he is held by his aura. Born at the right time, what is Di Renjie's background?

Children of non-aristocratic families who came up from the imperial examination.

The times need such people. Speaking of this, it is impossible not to talk about the historical background at that time.

In other words, Di Renjie has an aura in the emperor, and as soon as the emperor passes, he is held by his aura. Born at the right time, what is Di Renjie's background? (To be continued......)
