When Tang Gaozong went to Fenyang Palace, he passed the Jealous Goddess Temple. At that time, people thought that wearing gorgeous clothes through the jealous goddess society caused a storm. Li Chongxuan, the secretariat of Bingzhou, intends to recruit tens of thousands of civilian workers and find another way.
Di Renjie said, "When the emperor went out, there were thousands of riders, and Fengbo cleaned the dust for him. What are you afraid of when Teacher Yu comes to preach? " Li Chongxuan stopped the corvee. After learning about this, Tang Gaozong sighed: "Di Renjie is really a gentleman!"
Prisoner weeping monument
After the rebellion of the King of Yue, Wu Zetian convicted six or seven hundred people, not more than five thousand, for punishing the disorderly party. The judge ordered the death of Di Renjie. However, Di Renjie believed that the judgment was wrong and asked for a suspension of execution.
He secretly played Wu Zetian, thinking that once convicted on this basis, he would be widely implicated. And many of these people are forced to make trouble, which is not their intention. If Wu Zetian can be pardoned, he will write a letter to pardon them for capital crimes and send it to Fengzhou instead.
When the prisoners passed through Ningzhou, the elders of Ningzhou greeted them in the suburbs and said, "Did our emissary save your lives?" The prisoners helped each other to the stone tablet for Di Renjie, wept bitterly, and then fasted for three days before leaving Ningzhou. When they arrived in Fengzhou, they set up a monument for Di Renjie to show their gratitude.
