What kind of person is the real De Renjie?

De Renjie was a rare saint in ancient China. After Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian dynasties, he still made outstanding achievements in the sinister dynasty under Wu Zetian's rule, and he did have something extraordinary. People praised him at that time? There is only one saint in Di Gong south of Beidou? ! Even historians say that he has made great contributions and no one can learn from him.

Hammer described Di Renjie in one sentence: a politician with both wisdom and courage in the Tang Dynasty.

Comrade Di Renjie's life is full of ups and downs. I was framed twice, once in prison, once demoted, and almost lost my head. However, he still fought against the evil forces relentlessly, and finally ascended the position of prime minister twice, and reshaped the political structure of the Tang Dynasty, returning the country to his old owner, the Li family. You can say that he is a fool, but judging from the facts at that time, the Li family is indeed better than the descendants of Wu Zetian, and a prosperous new century has emerged.

According to historical records, Di has four characteristics: outstanding talent, strict law enforcement, good at recommending sages and daring to give advice.

First, excellent talents.

Di was familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and handled a large number of cases during his tenure as an art of war. In one year, he was sentenced to delay 17 thousand cases, and all the parties refused. I'm afraid that's why Mr. Di was portrayed as a master of solving crimes in TV dramas. Now there is a book called Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. If Comrade Di Renjie were alive today, he would be the first person to interview him. What is high efficiency? This is high efficiency. Teacher Di used to be the secretariat of Ningzhou. In today's Gansu province, ethnic minorities and Han people live together, and there are many ethnic contradictions. However, Mr. Di Renjie handled the contradictions of all parties very harmoniously, and even made a frontier place very harmonious. At that time, there was an ancient counselor, a difficult figure, who went to the local area to criticize everywhere along the way. Only when he arrived in Ningzhou did he see that the people here lived and worked in peace and contentment. Who says our people are kind? So the doctor said with emotion: Teacher Di, I knew you were a character as soon as I arrived at your acre of land. I will write you a letter of commendation for promotion when I go back! When you enter its territory, you can know its politics, and you are willing to be beautiful.

Second, Di Renjie strictly enforces the law and doesn't care about powerful people.

In the first year of Yifeng, two generals mistakenly cut down the cypress trees in front of Emperor Taizong's mausoleum, which should be removed according to the law of Tang Dynasty. However, Tang Gaozong was very unhappy and thought it was putting himself in an unfilial position, pointing out that Di Renjie wanted to cut off the heads of these two unlucky people, but Di Renjie actually returned them. He also said: Today you cut your hair cool, and tomorrow people will scold your mother! (who is your majesty after one thousand years? ), is saved the lives of two generals. As far as this matter is concerned, Mr. De Renjie is an upright man.

Third, Di Renjie is good at selecting talents.

Li Shimin once said that a qualified prime minister, regardless of trivial matters, is perfectly fine as long as he is good at recommending talents and persuading the emperor. The ultimate cure lies in becoming virtuous. The Lord accepts advice, and the minister speaks frankly. ) Yao Chong, a famous Kaiyuan star, is a talent recommended by Teacher Di; The most interesting thing is that when Zhang Jian's son was recommended by Di, he was already in his seventies. The prostate is dying, but Di Renjie is fine to see him elsewhere. Later, as expected, he became prime minister from Luoyang Sima under Wu Zetian. What best embodies the courage of De Renjie is that he directly recommended his son, Di Guangsi, to the court. As the saying goes, it is also true not to avoid relatives.

Fourth, Di Renjie dared to remonstrate.

When Di Renjie is serious, he doesn't care about Tang Gaozong or Wu Zetian. In Wu Zetian's later years, both Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi hoped to become princes. At this time, many ministers, including Di Renjie, were all against it, but some people used some flashy reasons. People like Wu Zetian don't care at all. Di Renjie's reason directly hits Wu Zetian's G point: being made a prince, Wu Zetian can enjoy the ancestral temple sacrifice after her death, because she is the mother of the emperor; If the two sons and nephews of the Wu family are princes and there is no temple, Wu Zetian, as an aunt, is not qualified to enjoy the treatment of sacrifice for future generations. This is an unacceptable ending for Wu Zetian. Therefore, Li Xian was made a prince. It can be said that in this ingenious way, De moved Jiangshan back to the hands of the Li family.

Of course, Di Renjie's success in Ze Tian is closely related to Wu Zetian's esteem and trust in him. Therefore, whenever Di Renjie argued, Wu Zetian rarely showed a gentle side: whatever you say is fine, as long as you are happy. Ren Jie is good at arguing with the imperial court, so every song in the sky will follow it. After the death of the emperor, Wu Zetian lamented the emptiness of the court! Later, whenever ministers were unable to make a decision on important state affairs, Wu Zetian would also sigh: It is too early for God to take away the CSI of our country!

Abstract: Di is an outstanding politician in the history of China, with outstanding talent and loyalty to his duties, which not only stabilized the political stability of the world in the era of Wu Zetian, but also laid the foundation for the prosperity of Kaiyuan later.
