In our long history, there are not only the Japanese high school detective Conan and the brilliant British detective Sherlock Holmes, but also many Chinese detectives, such as Di Renjie.
Di Renjie's reasoning ability is still praised, and there are even many film and television works with him as the protagonist, such as the once popular Internet hot meme "Yuan Fang, what do you think?" ”
However, you may not have noticed that although Di Renjie's official position is only three grades, when dealing with cases, other big and small ** will be in awe of him. Why is that?
It turned out that Di Renjie once served as the "Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Ping Zhangshi", which is equivalent to the current prime minister, so he is also known as "Di Ge Lao".
During the reign of Wu Zetian, he used the title of "Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Ping Zhangshi". At that time, the ** system followed the old system of Tang Gaozong, with the supreme leader of the three provinces as the prime minister, assisting the emperor to rule the whole country.
However, the contradiction between the monarchy and the prime minister is the main contradiction in feudal society, in order to prevent the prime minister from sitting in a big crisis to rule, the emperor will let other ** participate in the political hall meeting together, and use the title of "Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin" or "Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi", these ** are also known as prime ministers.
Before Wu Zetian came to power, she had already taken over the power of the court as the empress dowager. During the Wu Zetian period, she made changes to some titles, for example, changing the Zhongshu Order to the internal history, the service to the Nayan, the left and right servants to shoot the left and right phases, the three products under the Tongzhongshu Door to the Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Sanpin, and the Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi to the Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Pingzhangshi.
At that time, the supreme leader of the three provinces, the official Congzheng Sanpin, the "Tongsanpin" in the "Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Sanpin" was to show that these ** who participated in the meeting of the political hall enjoyed the same power, status and treatment as the governors of the three provinces.
Di Renjie's status at that time was extremely high, so that when the assassin who was also a Zheng Sanpin saw him, he would respectfully call him "Pavilion Elder", after all, compared to the assassin who was in charge of local supervision, the powerful prime minister with high authority to manage national affairs was still better.
Di Renjie served as Dali Cheng during the reign of Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, and he was famous for his fair judgment. Within a year, he successfully and efficiently adjudicated a large backlog of cases involving 170,000 people, none of whom cried out for grievances, so they became famous.
Di Renjie is impartial, not only strictly abiding by the law, but also daring to speak out. In the trial of the cypress case of Quan Shancai and Fan Huaiyi who mistakenly cut down the emperor's ancestral tomb, he dared to face the emperor's anger, firmly followed the requirements of Tang Law and the results of the case, and finally persuaded the emperor, so that Quan Shancai and Fan Huaiyi could live.
He mercilessly entangled the ** who was flattering and favored and evaluated power, including Wang Benli, Li Zhi's favorite minister, and his fairness and courage were admired by the court.
Di Renjie is also a thoughtful leader, and he knows that it takes the efforts of many talented people to run a country well. He recommended talents and introduced many honest ** such as Zhang Cambodia, Huan Yanfan, Yao Chong and many other incorruptible ** to Wu Zetian, and these people later became Zhongxing ministers in the Tang Dynasty.
His thoughtfulness and impartiality made him a highly respected and trusted person.
The Khitan invasion, the Wuzhou army suffered heavy losses, a large number of generals were captured, and the imperial court was unavailable for a while. Di Renjie proposed to pardon Li Kaigu and Luo Wucheng for their capital crimes and let them lead the troops to resist the enemy, and Wu Zetian adopted his suggestion.
Later, these two people really made a war feat. At the celebration banquet, Wu Zetian personally toasted Di Renjie and praised him for knowing people and making good use of them.
Emperor Li Xian and Empress Wu Zetian visited Fenyang Palace together, and Di Renjie was responsible for the palace layout and matters along the way.
According to the actual route, the emperor and his entourage will pass through the jealous women's temple, it is rumored that this is the sister of the Spring and Autumn period character Jie Zitui, she is extremely jealous, if there is a woman in a gorgeous costume passing by, it will attract thunder, lightning, wind and hail attacks.
* Afraid of startling the queen phoenix, he is ready to build a gallop road to avoid the jealous shrine. Di Renjie objected, "The trip of the Son of Heaven, the wind and the dust, the rain master sprinkled the way, why be jealous of the woman to ward off evil spirits?" ”
His advice was eventually adopted, and a mass conscription was avoided.
When Di Renjie served as the governor and ambassador of Jiangnan Province, the local people were superstitious and built many obscene shrines.
The officials took the opportunity to make a lot of money. Di Renjie asked for the demolition of 1,700 obscene shrines, leaving only Xia Yu, Wu Taibo, Ji Zha, and Wu Yuan's four shrines. In September of the first year of Jiushi (700), Di Renjie died of illness at the age of 70.
The Empress Wu cried bitterly when she heard the news, and sighed, "The court is empty!" and spent three days mourning for this. Since then, whenever the Empress Wu encounters something difficult to decide, she always can't help but sigh, "It's too early for the heavens to seize my country!" ”
