In 691, when Wu Zhou was granted the second year, Wu Zetian asked Di Renjie, "You are OK, why do so many people falsely accuse you?". Di Renjie said, I'll change if you think I'm wrong, and I'm lucky if you think I'm right. Wu Zetian sighed a few times. It's okay. It wasn't long before the cruel officials came to jun Chen and took Di Renjie to prison, making him confess the crime of rebellion. At that time, there was a policy of leniency in theory, and if you confess in the first interrogation, you can avoid death. If you refuse to confess, Lai Junchen has plenty of ways to get you to confess. To personally interrogate Di Renjie, also gave Di Renjie great face, Di Renjie immediately very good account. During the reign change in Zhou Dynasty, we old ministers in Li Tang were willing to surrender to the law, and the rebellion was true.

When Lai Junchen saw that Di Renjie was smart, his vanity was satisfied. Di Renjie is famous for his rigidity, and no one is afraid. Now he is so unintelligent, so he goes to judge others at ease and sends the judge Wang Deshou to continue the trial. Wang Deshou is far worse than Lai Junchen. He induced Di Renjie. If you want to live, you can confess another person. Di Renjie said, for heaven's sake, you should let me do it. After that, he hit his head against the column and his face was covered with blood. Wang Deshou was afraid that he would die in his own hands, so he quickly slipped away. So no one tried him, just waiting for the day of execution to pull him out and behead him. I also let my guard down for him.

Di Renjie wrote his grievances on a cloth and put them in his coat. He told Wang Deshou that it was too hot in summer and hoped my family would take my clothes back and wash them. Wang Deshou didn't take it seriously. Di Renjie's son got the complaint and reported it to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian then personally questioned Di Renjie's case, and Lai Junchen said that he had confessed to the rebellion and had a good sleep. Wu Zetian said, I want to personally interrogate Di Renjie. Lai Junchen asked people to forge Di Renjie's handwriting and write a thank-you table, so that an imperial envoy took it to see Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian said why you rebelled. Di Renjie said I would have been killed if I didn't confess. Then why did you write the thank you form? He said I didn't write it. Wu Zetian showed him that the original signature was forged. So Di Renjie avoided death and was demoted to Pengze county magistrate. Wu Chengsi wants to kill him, Wu Zetian said. I don't like killing people in my life. Besides, Di Renjie's case has been determined, and there is no need to change it.

Wu Zetian killed people like dirt all her life. There are three reasons why Di Renjie can survive. First, Di Renjie is clever and sensible. He who knows the times is a hero. I didn't cry foul when I entered the prison, but I confessed. I didn't fight with Lai Junchen. Unlike many loyal ministers in the Tang Dynasty, they either shouted grievances or swore, and all died miserably. Di Renjie has been working in a prison all his life, and he knows the routine. Second, Di Renjie is useful. Wu Zetian saw that Di Renjie did not participate in the rebellion, and she was loyal to her, so she let him go. After all, Di Renjie still has some abilities, which need it.

actually, the most important thing is that a child saved him. At that time, there was a prime minister named Le Sihui, who was executed on suspicion of rebellion. Like Di Renjie, it was also an unjust case. Le Sihui has a 1-year-old son. According to the policy of leniency and exemption for offenders in Wu Zhou, minors under the age of 16 can avoid death, so they are sent to Sinong Temple as slaves. Sinong Temple is in charge of warehousing commission. All the officials in Kyoto, such as Lu Bing, Chao Hui and Cai Si, need everything. After the child was imprisoned in Di Renjie, he personally wrote to Wu Zetian. My father was dead and our family was broken. It was meaningless to say anything. It's a pity that you were played by Lai Junchen and others. If you think what I said is wrong, you can find a person who you think is loyal and reliable to be tried by Lai Junchen. There is no one who does not confess to rebellion. When Wu Zetian heard something, he was moved, and then Di Renjie's son came to avenge his father. Only then did Wu Zetian personally interrogate Di Renjie and Di Renjie picked up a life. Don't give advice at the risk of the child's life. Di Renjie didn't have a chance to meet Wu Zetian at all, and his son wouldn't have a chance to give it to Wu Zetian. He was executed as early as Le Sihui.

Then why is this child able to give Wu Zetian a watch? Supposedly, he is only a criminal and belongs to the monitored object. It is so easy to give Wu Zetian a watch. It can only be said that there are Wu Zetian's cronies and Lai Junchen who don't deal with it, deliberately giving Lai Junchen a discovery ambushes. Who is this person? It's either Wu Sansi or Shangguan Waner, and Shangguan Waner has a large share. The relationship between Shangguan Waner and Di Renjie is good. Tsui Hark's film "Di Renjie's Heaven Empire" played the friendship between them. Although it is ridiculous, it is also a postmodern deconstruction of real history. So Di Renjie can not die, it should be Shangguan Waner and Wu Sansi who spoke for him. Without the most trusted person of Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian would not have personally tried Di Renjie's case. As for Wu Chengsi's attempt to kill Di Renjie later, it was only the aftermath of the wind, which could not lift the waves.
