Why can Di Renjie succeed?

As we all know, Di Renjie is a very important person of Wu Zetian. One day, Wu Zetian told him: "Although you are working hard for the court, there are still many people in the DPRK who speak ill of you. Do you want to know who they are? " Di Renjie said, "I don't want to. Since I am doing the right thing, I won't be afraid of other people's comments. Besides, if I really did something wrong, your majesty would tell me himself. Then why do I have a personal vendetta against other officials? "

When Wu Zetian heard Di Renjie's statement, she immediately admired Di Renjie even more. As a king, she doesn't have this measure, and she feels ashamed. In later years, Wu Zetian really used Di Renjie more and more, and generally didn't listen to other people's gossip to believe Di Renjie.

Bring a private bodyguard.

In the early days of being an official, Di was always accompanied by two Jianghu people who tried their best to protect him and helped him a lot when he was working. These two people are Ma Rong and Qiao Tai. The two of them are brothers who worshipped each other. Before that, they were also chivalrous men who had been fighting the world with swords and did a lot of things to rob the rich and help the poor.

Once Qiao Tai was seriously ill, but Ma Rong had no money to treat him, so he thought of robbing the rich to help the poor. Unexpectedly, the robber was actually Di Renjie. After learning the situation, Di Renjie saved Qiao Tai with his own medical skill, so two pure warm-hearted people decided to follow Di Renjie later, but the fact is that the two of them always accompanied Di Renjie and became Di Renjie's personal bodyguard.

3. Humiliate Wu Zetian's favorite.

In the year when Wu Zetian was in power, Nanhai presented a dress made of the feathers of a hundred birds, which was really luxurious. Everyone who saw it praised its exquisite workmanship, and Wu Zetian gave it to her favorite person, namely Zhang Changzong. One day, Wu Zetian called the two of them to play together. This game is better.

Wu Zetian asked Zhang Changzong what to bet on, and he said that he bet on the most luxurious dress; Wu Zetian asked Emperor Renjie what to bet on, and Emperor Renjie said that he would bet on his imperial clothes. Wu Zetian said with a smile: "This can't be compared at all. Your royal dress is not as valuable as this one. "

Di Renjie said, "That's not right. When I met your majesty and discussed state affairs with him, I wore royal clothes. That luxurious and unusual dress was worn to please your majesty. I still don't want to bet this dress on my royal costume. " Wu Zetian can only agree after listening.

Later, Di Renjie won all the time, and Zhang Changzong lost miserably. Then Di Renjie left smartly with the clothes he stole from his wife. After this incident, there was a great uproar, and people praised Renjie's prestige in playing pets.

4. Stubbornly take care of the queen's housework

Di Renjie, with his talent as prime minister, became a local county magistrate. Naturally, he did a brilliant job and the people were grateful. Later, the Khitan harassed Hebei, and Wu Zetian quickly called Di Renjie out. He repelled the Khitan without bloodshed. Therefore, Di Renjie in history is an all-rounder, a piece of real money that can shine everywhere, not just a detective in unofficial history's novels. In recognition of his meritorious service, Wu Zetian personally gave him a purple robe and a turtle belt, and wrote twelve gold words on the purple robe: "Political skills, diligence, promotion and wealth, inspirational ministers." In the first year of siddhi (AD 697), Di Renjie was recalled to the central government, and he quickly resumed his post as prime minister.

In the first year of the Holy Calendar (AD 698), Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, nephews of Wu Zetian, sent people to lobby Wu Zetian to become a prince several times. Minister Li Zhaode and others advised Wu Zetian that an aunt and nephew were not as close as mother and son, and Li Xian, king of Luling, should be made a prince. Emperor and Wu Zetian have been together for a long time and have a thorough understanding of this female emperor. He also took the opportunity to supplement the materials and said: "If your majesty makes your son a prince, it will be immortal, and you can always enjoy your son's food in the ancestral hall;" If I have a nephew, I have never heard that when the nephew becomes an emperor, he will sacrifice to his aunt in the ancestral hall. "

Wu Zetian was a little annoyed and said, "This is my family's business, so don't get involved." Di Renjie is a tough nut to crack. He said with perseverance: "When an emperor is a person, his family is everywhere, and there is nothing but his majesty's family! I am the prime minister, how can I ignore it? " Wu Zetian finally listened to the emperor's suggestion and recalled Luling Wang as the heir, which continued Tang Re and did not fall into the hands of Wu's sons and nephews. Historians of later generations praised Di's contribution to the restoration of the Tang Dynasty.

5. The official skills of Di Renjie.

Later, the emperor was promoted to be a doctor (the minister of finance), traveled with the marquis of Wu, and sent the emperor as the emperor's tourist Commissioner, first arranging accommodation on the way. The emperor's tourist route must pass through the "Jealous Goddess Temple". According to local legend, if a well-dressed person passes by the Jealous Goddess Temple, it will definitely lead to a storm. Li Chongxuan, the governor of the state annexed by the local governor, ordered tens of thousands of civilian workers to rebuild the Imperial Road to please the emperor and queen.

Di Renjie disagreed and said, "When the emperor parades, Fengbo will blow away the dust, and the rain teacher will wet the road. Why avoid that jealous woman? " As a result, thousands of people are freed from heavy labor, avoiding the waste of people and money. Tang Gaozong praised: "Di Renjie is a real gentleman!" Di Renjie not only praised the emperor skillfully, but also benefited the people and won the hearts of both sides. This is indeed a very high skill.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, appointed the emperor as assistant to the magistrate, made peace with Fengge (Zhongshu Province) and Luantai (Menxia Province), and became one of the prime ministers, but it was short-lived. Once the Queen deliberately tested De Renjie and said, "Your political achievements are very good, but someone spoke ill of you in front of me. Do you want to know who said that? "

Di Renjie said: "If your Majesty thinks that my official has done something wrong, I will definitely change it;" If your majesty understands that there is nothing wrong with the officials, it is the luck of the officials. I don't want to know who spoke ill of me. "Emma Wu ze day think, di Renjie is really a loyal elder with an open mind.
