Nowadays, many ancient costume films and TV plays have made Di Renjie's interpretation superb and put a mysterious coat on Di Renjie. Why is this happening? In fact, it is through these figures that justice has been done. What kind of person is the real De Renjie?
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, sent an envoy to Henan, and Di was falsely accused by officials, and Yan was put on trial. 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, and recommended Di as the deputy governor 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.
During the Yifeng period in Tang Gaozong, Di Renjie was promoted to Cheng Dali. He is honest, lax in law enforcement and conscientious. In one year, he sentenced a large number of backlog cases, involving170,000 people, and none of them were misjudged. At that time, he became famous and became the highest judge in the ruling and opposition parties. It can be seen that Di Renjie is a person who has a thorough understanding of the case.
When Di was a soldier in Bing, his colleague Zheng Chongzhi was sent to the far northwest to perform official duties, but his mother was old and sick. Di Renjie said to him, "You can't let your elderly mother worry about you thousands of miles away." He took the initiative to see the boss and asked to travel instead of Zheng Chongzhi, which touched many people. Later, Di Renjie was framed and imprisoned by a brutal official, and someone asked him to perjure himself to frame Prime Minister Yang Zhirou, saying that this would save him from death. Di Renjie said angrily, "For God's sake, I, Di Renjie, would never do such a heinous thing!" As he spoke, he bumped his head against the post, his face was covered with blood, revealing a clank of iron. Therefore, Di Renjie is an upright and kind man who gave his life for justice.
Di made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and he dared to act boldly. Emperor Renjie once urged Wu Zetian to re-establish Li Xian, the king of Luling, as a prince, and to cultivate forces loyal to the Tang Dynasty, which became an important pillar of the continuation of the Tang Dynasty. It is because of Di's integrity and selflessness that the Tang Dynasty can continue.
In 700 AD, Di Renjie, who worked hard all his life, passed away and paid his respects in the court. Wu Zetian cried and said, "The imperial court is empty". Throughout his life, Di Renjie always cared about all the people in the world. He used his wisdom to stabilize the situation in Wu Zhou and contributed to the later "rule of Kaiyuan".
