biography
Early behavior
Di Renjie was born into an official family. Grandfather Di, Ren Zhenguan Chao Shangshu Zuo Cheng, father Di Zhixun, Ren Kuizhou secretariat. Di passed the Ming Classics exam and became a Bianzhou judge. Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, was the messenger of Henan Road. Di was falsely accused by officials and Yan was tried. He not only found out the truth of the matter, but also found that Di was a rare figure with both ability and political integrity, known as the "Pearl of Hequ, the legacy of Southeast China" and recommended Di as the magistrate of Bing. During his tenure, De Renjie became familiar with feudal laws and regulations such as official administration and military punishment, which had a great influence on his political activities throughout his life.
Di Renjie's law enforcement is clean and not good. He used his body to protect the law and even dared to make faces. Strongly urged Wu Zetian to establish Downs. Knowing people and wisdom often means promoting talents, and the ministers who promote talents are all ministers of ZTE in the Tang Dynasty. Dozens of capable officials, such as Zhang Jianzhi, Huan, Jing Hui, Dou Huaizhen and Yao Chong, have been recommended one after another, and the political style in the DPRK has changed greatly, all of them are famous ministers of ZTE. Someone said to him, "There are peaches and plums in the world, and it is noted that they are in the public gate." Ren Jie replied: "Educating the country is not for personal gain." .
Concentration on duty
During the Yifeng period in Tang Gaozong (676-679), Di Renjie was promoted to Cheng Dali. He is honest and clean, and he is conscientious in enforcing the law. In one year, he sentenced a large number of backlog cases, involving 17000 people. Without any grievance, he became famous for a while and became a respected judge in the ruling and opposition parties. In order to maintain the feudal legal system, Di Renjie even dared to speak out. In the first year of Yifeng (676), the military power and talent of General Zuo Wei mistakenly cut down the cypress trees in Zhaoling. Tang Gaozong was furious and ordered to kill it. Di Renjie played a man who committed a crime and died inappropriately. Tang Gaozong said sternly, "It is unfilial of me to be a good tree climber. I must kill it! " Di Renjie looked the same and argued: "Since ancient times, it has been very difficult to denounce criminals. I think it is difficult to meet Jie and Zhou, but easy to pass Yao and Shun. This law is immortal, and your majesty deliberately killed it. Even if the law doesn't trust people, people can't help it! " "Today, your majesty killed a general with cypress in Zhaoling. After thousands of years, why does your majesty give priority? I dare not be forced to kill good talents, but I am trapped in your majesty. " Finally, Tang Gaozong was forced to change his mind and was pardoned for the capital crime of Quan Shancai.
Govern the local area
In 686, Wu Zetian hung on the arch for two years, and Di became the secretariat of Ningzhou (now Ningxian and Zhengning in Gansu). At that time, Ningzhou was a place where all ethnic groups lived together. Di Renjie pays attention to properly handling the relationship with ethnic minorities and has won the hearts of the people. Di Renjie was appointed as a consultant by Tang Gaozong, responsible for hearing cases and correcting officials. During his tenure, Di Renjie abided by his duties and impeached some important forces who were flattering and condescending.
In the first year of Diaolu (679), Wei Hongji, Minister of Agriculture, made the Su Yu, Gaoshan and Shangyang palaces spacious and magnificent. The emperor wrote a letter to impeach Wei Hongji and guide the emperor to pursue luxury, so Wei Hongji was dismissed. Wang Benli, a doctor of Zuo Si, relied on his kindness and was feared by the court. Di Renjie mercilessly exposed his crimes and demanded that they be brought to justice. To forgive and protect the king, the emperor protected him with his own body: "Although the country lacks talents, there are several generations! Your majesty, why pity sinners and lose the king's law? If you want to forgive this foundation, please abandon your minister in no man's land as a warning of future loyalty! " Wang was finally found guilty, and the court was awed. Later, the emperor officially moved to Langzhong, taking the emperor as the ambassador, and prepared to visit Fenyang Palace, and arranged the stopover accommodation first.
Li Chong, the governor of Bingzhou, declared the Jealous Women's Temple and asked tens of thousands of people not to open the Imperial Road. Di Renjie said, "During the trip to the Emperor, a thousand people rode, Fengbo cleared the dust, and the rain teacher sprinkled the road. Why are you jealous of the harm of women? " , they forget about it, exempt from bing tens of thousands of people's labor. Tang Gaozong listened with admiration: "What a gentleman!" Fu and the same, internal and external peace, peace of mind ",the people of the county are praising him this year is the year when the suggestion Guo Han visited Longyou and the elder brother of Shijianingzhou made a profit. Guo Han went back to court and put forward his suggestion. Di was promoted to assistant minister of Dongguan (Ministry of Industry) and served as governor of Jiangnan. Emperor, in view of the abuse of obscene words by Wu and Chu at that time, invited to burn more than 700 temples/kloc-0, leaving only four temples of,, and Wu Yuan, so as to reduce the burden on the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
In 688, the king of Bozhou secretariat opposed Wu Zetian's ruling, and Li Zhen of Yuzhou secretariat responded. After Wu Zetian put down the imperial clan rebellion, he appointed Di as the secretariat of Yuzhou. At that time, there were 600 to 700 people in the prison, and as many as 5,000 people were undocumented. Di knew very well that most of Li's people were forced to serve in the army of the King of Yue. Therefore, Wu Zetian said: "This generation is dishonest, and I hope to mourn its mistakes." Wu Zetian listened to his advice, pardoned these death row prisoners, changed the killing to the flow, calmed the people and stabilized the situation in Yuzhou. At that time, it was Prime Minister Zhang Guangbi who put down Li Zhen, the king of Yue. Soldiers depend on their merits to extort money. Di Renjie didn't promise, but angrily denounced Zhang Guangbi's killing and death, in order to take credit. He said, "Whoever confuses Henan will surpass Wang Zhen. Today, I died and Wan Zhen was born. " "Gong Ming Dong Rong, 300,000, leveled a chaotic minister, fought without fighting, and the soldiers were violent and innocent, and their brains were smeared." "But fear of rough voice boiling, deep into the day. If you take the sword from above and put it around your neck, you will die. " Di Renjie tacitly, Zhang Guangbi speechless, but bear a grudge, but also after hitting Di Renjie rude remarks. Di was demoted to Fuzhou secretariat (now southwest of Mianyang, Hubei) and became a Sima in Luozhou.
Be wrongly plotted against
In the first month of the first year of longevity (693), Wu colluded with cruel officials to falsely accuse Di and others of rebellion and arrested them in prison. Di Renjie immediately accepted the accusation: "This is true!" Ren Jie opened the silk book on his head and put it in the cotton-padded clothes. He asked the jailer to tell his family to take the cotton and let him complain. Ren Jiezi Di Guangyuan sued the court with a book. Wu Zetian called Di Renjie and other ministers to ask: "What is resistance?" Di Renjie replied, "If you don't resist, you will be whipped to death." He asked again, "What is a thank-you table?" Answer: "I don't have this form." Wu Zetian discovered that it was forged. So the seven people in this case were released, all of whom were demoted to local officials and Peng (now Pengze, Jiangxi).
Di's talent and fame gradually gained the appreciation and trust of Wu Zetian. In September of the following year (69 1), Di was appointed as an assistant to the local official (household department) and made peace with Fengge Luantai, starting his short first prime minister career. In an important position, Di Renjie is cautious and self-sufficient and strict with himself. One day, Wu Zetian said to him: "Qing was in Runan and was very good at governing the country. What do you want to know about her? " Emperor Renjie thanked him: "Your Majesty is an official, and I should change it; Your majesty, I have no fault and I am fortunate. I don't know who I am. I'm a good friend. I have no idea. " Wu Zetian was deeply impressed by his open-minded mind.
Worship each other again
In October of the first year of Long Live Tian Tong (696), the Khitan captured Jizhou (now Linzhang, Hebei). In order to stabilize the situation, Wu Zetian used Di as the secretariat of Weizhou (now Daming area in Hebei Province) adjacent to Jizhou.
In October of the first year of Shengong (697), the Emperor was recalled to North Korea by Wu Zetian. The official worshipped Assistant Minister Luantai (the province under the door) to make peace with Fengge Luantai, and added Dr. Yin to Lu. He also ran a speech to restore the post of prime minister and became a right-hand man to help Wu Zetian master the state power.
Please create a prince.
In the first year of the Holy Calendar (698), with the foresight of politicians, Emperor persuaded Wu Zetian to conform to public opinion and regain power in Luling King. Wu Zetian listened to the emperor's advice and personally welcomed King Luling back to the palace, making him an heir, thus maintaining the Tang Dynasty. Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, the nephews of Wu Zetian, lobbied Empress Dowager Cixi several times to make her a prince. Wu Zetian hesitated. With the foresight of a politician, the emperor persuaded Wu Zetian to conform to the people's hearts and return to politics with King Luling. At that time, Minister Li Zhaode and others also advised Wu Zetian to see Li Xian, but it was not accepted by Wu Zetian. De Renjie, who knows Wu Zetian thoroughly, calmly advised her from the perspective of mother-child affection: "If you have a child, you will be able to eat with the ancestral temple after a thousand years and pass it on endlessly; The nephew did not know that he was the son of heaven and attached it to the temple. " Wu Zetian said: "Don't prejudge this family matter." Di Renjie calmly and seriously replied, "The king is at home in the four seas. Who is a concubine in the four seas? Why not for your majesty's family! The monarch is the head of state, the minister is the thigh and arm, and the principle is the same. Is it unpredictable when the minister is in the position of prime minister? " Finally, Wu Zetian realized, listened to the emperor's advice, personally married King Luling and returned to the palace, and made him an heir, thus safeguarding the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Di was called a loyal minister by politicians and historians of past dynasties, and he was a righteous man who had the merit of rebuilding the Tang Dynasty.
In the autumn of the first year of the holy calendar (698), Turks went south to harass Hebei. Wu Zetian appointed the Prince as Marshal of Hebei Road and Di Renjie as Deputy Marshal to pacify the Turks. When the Prince could not, Wu Zetian ordered Emperor Renjie to personally see Emperor Renjie off. More than 10 thousand men and women from Zhao, Ding and other countries were sent back to Mobei by Turkmen Khan, but Di could not catch up. Wu Zetian was appointed as the appeasement ambassador of Hebei Province. In the face of the dying scene after the war, Di took four measures: First, Shangshu asked the provinces of Hebei for forgiveness, asking for nothing, so that the innocent people forced by the Turks could happily return to their hometowns for production. The second is to transport bulk grain to help the poor. Third, repair the post road and help the spin division. Fourth, it is forbidden for subordinates to disturb the people, and offenders will be beheaded. Soon restored the stability of Hebei.
Old age life
In the first year of Nine Begins (700 years), De Renjie was promoted to literature and history (the order of the Secretariat). This summer, Wu Zetian went to Sanyang Palace for the summer, and a monk named Hu invited her to watch the burial of the Buddhist relics. Wu Zetian, who regards Buddhism as the state religion, agreed. Emperor Renjie knelt in front of the horse and stopped to say, "Buddhists, the God of Yi Di, are not enough to bend the Lord of the world. The monk is very cunning and wants to invite Wan Cheng as a guest. " Wu Zetian then returned to the middle way. That autumn, Wu Zetian wanted to build a pagoda. The estimated cost is as high as several million, and the palace is not enough. So he ordered monks and nuns all over the world to donate money to help every day. The emperor remonstrated: "If you come to teach, you should put compassion first. Do you want to try to show off? " "Compared with floods and droughts, today's borders are not peaceful. How can it be saved by wasting official wealth and manpower? " Wu Zetian accepted his suggestion and dismissed him.
In the first year of IX (700), Emperor Renjie died and mourned in the ruling and opposition. Wu Zetian cried and said, "The imperial court is empty." . To Wenchang Youcheng, Stone. Tang Zhongzong succeeded to the throne and was posthumously awarded to Sikong. Tang Ruizong also named it Liang Guogong.

Anecdotes of life
Vulgar officials who have no time to talk.
When Di Renjie was a child, a master was killed at home, and county officials came to inquire. All the people scrambled to answer the defense, only Di Renjie was reading a book and ignored them. When the magistrate asked him, Di Renjie said, "There are all the sages in the book. I haven't communicated with them. How can I have time to talk to secular officials? "
Pearls are lost in the depths of the sea-undiscovered/neglected talents.
When Di served as the Bianzhou secretariat, he was falsely accused by a small official. At that time, Shang Shu Yan of the Ministry of Industry was the messenger of Taoism in Henan. When interrogating him, I found that he was a talented person with both ability and political integrity, and praised him and said, "Confucius said,' I have met Ren.' You can be called the pearl of Hequ, a legacy of the southeast. "
Miss my parents.
When Di was in Bing, his parents were far away in Heyang (now Meng County, Henan Province). He climbed the Taihang Mountain and looked back to the south. He saw a white cloud flying and said to the people around him, "My parents are under that white cloud." He watched it for a long time until the white clouds cleared away.
A long history of justice
When Emperor was in Bing, Zheng Chongzhi, who was also an official, wanted to travel far, but his mother was old and sick. Di Renjie said to him, "Your mother is seriously ill, but you have to leave. How can you let your relatives who are thousands of miles away worry about you? " So I went to see the prefect of Bing, Shi Lin Renji, and asked to travel instead of Zheng Chongzhi. Lin Rang was very moved. He was deeply ashamed of his disagreement with Sima Li Xiaolian and took the initiative to reconcile with Li Xiaolian.
Don't believe evil words.
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, is preparing to recruit tens of thousands of people and open up another imperial road. The Emperor said, "When the Emperor went out, there were thousands of riders. Fengbo was clean and dusty, and the rain teacher came to pave the way. What are you afraid of? " So he stopped the corvee. Tang Gaozong sighed after learning: "What a gentleman!"
Regular business belongs to the department.
When Di Renjie was prime minister, it was necessary for students to ask for leave, which was also approved by Wu Zetian. Di Renjie said, "I heard that the monarch only has the right to life and death, and the rest is handed over to the relevant departments. Asking for leave is the responsibility of imperial academy Cheng and the main account book. If the son of heaven issues decrees for this kind of thing, how many decrees will be issued to deal with all the affairs in the world! You can't go against people's wishes, please establish a system for them in an all-round way. " Wu Zetian followed his advice.
Self-denial and completeness
D. Renjie was framed and sent to prison. Judge Wang Deshou said to him, "You can definitely reduce the death penalty. I want to find a promotion ladder, and I want you to climb Yang Zhirou, can you? " Di Renjie asked, "How can we connect him?" Wang Deshou said, "When you were in the Ministry of Rites, Yang Zhirou was a member of the Ministry of Rites. You can climb to him." Di Renjie said angrily, "God is heaven and earth. You asked me to do such a thing!" " "Say that finish, head bump column, bleeding. Wang Deshou was scared and ran away.
Sponsor a good soldier.
Li Jiegu and Luo Wuzheng were loyal ministers of Qidan Li, who invaded the border of Tang Dynasty with Li's loyalty and defeated Tang Jun several times. Later, the two men were defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Ministry of Justice asked them to discuss the crime according to law. Di Renjie thinks that the two of them have the talent of soldiers, and if they are pardoned, they will be grateful to tears, so they ask for pardon. Relatives and friends advised him, and Di Renjie said, "As long as it is beneficial to the country, what am I going to do?" Wu Zetian pardoned the two generals, and at the invitation of Di Renjie, appointed them as official posts to crusade against the remnants of the Khitan. Later, the two generals destroyed the Khitan and dedicated the center to the palace. Wu Zetian was overjoyed, and the ministers held a big banquet to propose a toast to the emperor, saying, "This is your credit." Di Renjie said, "It depends on your heroic spirit. The generals have done their best. What credit do I have? "
Wuhou strike
Wu Zetian needs millions to build a giant Buddha, and the government's inventory is not enough, so the monks in the world give money to help every day. Di Renjie remonstrated: "Work cannot serve ghosts, but must serve people; Crops don't fall from the sky, but grow from the ground after all. What more can we ask for without hurting the people? Now that the border is not peaceful, we should relax the corvee and avoid things that are not urgently needed. Even if artisans are hired to help the poor, it is a fundamental abandonment to miss the farming season. Moreover, it is difficult to do it without official help. It consumes both government property and manpower. If one party is affected, what relief will be used? " Wu Zetian said, "You are teaching me kindness. How can I not listen! " So give it up.
Celebrity evaluation
Yan: Zhong: "I have met Zhiren." The first step can be described as a pearl of sea music, a legacy of the southeast.
Lin: South of the Beidou, there is only one person who is a sage of the earth.
Shi Jingtang: Duke Liang of the Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie, upheld the five elements, ignored nine admonitions and went straight for Cao Cao. He just recovered from the danger, but if he went to Guizhou, he won Thailand. Liu Hui, who is famous in the world, is just a gentleman and innocent minister's day. He uses portraits to express his gratitude. On the realm of Taoism and Classics, holding the position of Zhou Guan; Chastity and soul are the spiritual shrines of Wei Tu's rejuvenation of the country and the favorite of Zhao He Yong Guang Di Si.
Liu Xin: The Emperor of Heaven has seven courtiers, although there is no way to lose the world. To the restoration of Luling, Tang Zuo Zhongxing and Di Gong, one man for the cover. Or: too many. A: During the revolution, friends were evil. Those who had to confide in each other and tried their best to forget their roots could not compare with this! Ren Jie's death is inevitable, and his bones are strong. Although he killed innocent people when he was good, he was able to fear the righteousness in the end. It's better to live in the world!
Ouyang Xiu: Wuhou took advantage of the decline of the Tang Dynasty to kill the living handle and rob the artifacts of the world. Ren Jie endured humiliation, was loyal, abused power for personal gain, and led Zhang Jianzhi and others. , died in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Wen sang "Take the garden and wash the salty pool". Sneaking five dragons and flying. " The world thinks it is a famous saying.

The ground can move, and the public can't move. This is the party! Once you feel it, it's cloudy. The son of heaven is both a minister and an emperor, and the world is both a week and a Tang dynasty, and the seven generations are forever and ever. Hey! If it is not the most sincere in the world, who can it be!
Wang Fuzhi: If a husband is a minister of the country, he will protect his master with death, but he will wait for his work and not mourn his minister's day. For example, Xie Anzhi is in Huan Wen and De is in the Wu family. How can he be arrogant?
Cai Dongfan: On that day, those lucky enough to hold power were slaves of the Wu family, but the second male Loudi finally gained fame, which is a rather heavy name. Mr. Lou's virtue is only good at harmony, and he doesn't know the overall situation, but De is not satisfactory.
