Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty-Eight

On the fifth day of June in the second year of Shangyuan (AD 675), Tianhou proposed and the emperor issued an edict.Make Li Xian the prince, choose a day to celebrate, and amnesty the world.Li Xian is quite different from Li Hong. Li Xian is more mischievous than Li Hong. He is the best at fighting cocks and monkeys. Although he is talented, he is just not very obedient.In order for Li Xian to learn a little bit better, Li Zhi specially asked Pei Xingjian's colleague Li Jingxuan to take on multiple roles and make Li Xian the prince Zuo Shuzi.Li Zhi left the position of the left and right servants to Liu Rengui and Dai Zhide who he valued very much.

With the strong support of Beimen Bachelor, the two brothers started their careers as prime ministers.Because there are no major affairs in the country (the major affairs are with the Beimen Bachelor), apart from educating children, these two prime ministers really have some leisure.Sima Guang, who smashed the vat, teased them: "Liu Rengui and Dai Zhide are very miserable. After shooting as servants, they deal with those complaints all day long." Do you know what a ultimatum is? The ultimatum is... Well, one day, an old lady in her seventies and eighties came to Dai Zhide's office and said that she had something to hand over to the prime minister (you can probably know the situation of the two of them when you deal with such trivial matters).The old lady saw that the prime minister sitting above seemed unfamiliar, so she casually asked who was in the hall.

Dai Zhide replied, "I am Dai Zhide!" The old lady jumped up suddenly, clapped her hands and yelled, then snatched the paper that Dai Zhide was looking at and said: "It was supposed to be a shooting for the solution, but it was evil for the incomprehension! Leave it to me!" (I thought It turns out that you are a servant who does not do anything, so you should return the ultimatum to me!" The old lady said in the innermost part that the servant who was in charge was Liu Rengui. Because of his pleasure in doing things, Liu Rengui became a middle-aged woman including other age groups).

Dai Zhide, on the other hand, handles complicated and meticulous affairs. Even though he is fair and honest, he never pretends to be public for personal gain, but because he never shows personal favors, others are unwilling to let him do it if they have grievances.Dai Zhide was not angry when he saw the old lady getting mad, and cheerfully told her the ultimatum.The old lady swears that she will still come when Jie Shi Pu She (Liu Rengui) goes to work tomorrow! Through this incident, someone asked Li Zhi: "Do you like Liu Rengui more, or Dai Zhide more?" Li Zhi fell into deep thought, what did he think of Liu Rengui?Liu Rengui gave him this feeling as a brother, as a brother who worshiped the master, went up the mountain of swords, went into the sea of ​​fire, fought in the kindergarten, and pressed his legs on the train track.As for Dai Zhide, he is really Dai Zhou's good son, with a stern and selfless appearance that makes it difficult for people to get close to him, but if you entrust the matter to him, he will definitely not favoritism.What the court needs is not a certain type of people, but people who can get things done together.

But there is only one premise for everything, that is, you must support Li Zhi as emperor, and you must not pose any threat to his and Empress Wu's power. This is the bottom line of all emperors, and it is also the most untouchable bottom line. Along with Li Jingxuan, Liu Rengui, and Dai Zhide, the servant Zhang Wenguan was also appointed. The ancestor of his ancestor was the founding hero of the Han Dynasty and Zhang Liang, the best advisor under Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.What is more obvious is that Zhang Wenguan has Zhang Liang's excellent genes (at least the Y chromosome is present), and he has tried cases in the Dali Temple of the Tang Dynasty for many years, winning a lot of applause.

But he quit because Li Zhi needed him. When Zhang Wenguan was transferred away, the criminals in Dali Temple wailed collectively. They felt that if Zhang Wenguan left, their innocence would also leave, because their grievances would never be cleared.But Zhang Wenguan told them, don't worry, Dali Temple is full of talents, Zhang Wenguan left, and there are people who came after him. Who are the later people? His name is Di Renjie. The situation in Datang has changed for it! Di Renjie, courtesy name Huaiying, was born in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, in the fifth year of Zhenguan (AD 630).Mr. Di Renjie is also a man of family background. His grandfather, Di Xiaoxu, was Zhenguan Shangshu Zuo Cheng, the fourth rank; his father, Di Zhixun, was the chief historian of Kuizhou, the fifth rank.By the time of Di Renjie's generation, they had gotten so mixed up that they had nothing.However, Mr. Di is very good. He took part in the imperial examination Mingjing Division and went to high school in one fell swoop.

As a result, Di Juren became the judge of Bianzhou, from the eighth grade. The Di family became more and more volatile, but Di Renjie seemed very calm. He always showed a different attitude towards life, for example, he didn't care much about who lived better than his family, who said bad things about who, of course, His family couldn't understand him either.It is said that when he was a child, a group of yamen servants suddenly rushed into his family, holding a knife, and said fiercely that they would come to Di's house for inquiries.The whole family was terrified by these people, and began to defend their innocence.Only Di Renjie sat alone at the desk, immersed in the joy of reading without taking his eyes off the yamen servant at all.

The yamen servant was very dissatisfied with the child's behavior. One of them came to Di Renjie with a knife and said, "Didn't you see us coming? Why didn't you get up to greet them?" Di Renjie glanced at them lightly, showing off his strength Books, "There are countless sages and sages in the scrolls, and I have no time to receive them. How can I have time to entertain you vulgar things? You said that you just don't bother me, and you come to blame me. You are really justified! ( Among the yellow papers, there are sages and sages, but they still can’t meet them, why don’t they even meet ordinary officials and see the blame!)” The yamen servant was stunned by Di Renjie, speechless.

After finishing their work, they walked away, and Di Renjie didn't bother to answer them from the beginning to the end. Mr. Di Renjie, who was judged from the eighth rank, had a hard time in Bianzhou, because of his integrity, those trashy colleagues wanted to harm him.The reason seems to be very simple, that is, since Di Renjie came in, everyone has nothing to fish for, so they gathered together and prepared to catch his mistakes and throw him into prison.Several people conspired and discussed all morning, and someone said that any defect is fine, whether it is corruption, bribery, favoritism, child molestation, trafficking, or theft, as long as Di Renjie can disappear from everyone's sight, it is worth doing.Di Renjie is shameless, we are shameless, the shameless can't sue the shameless, so let's do it, kill him!

But until the end, everyone began to despair, and a petty official who was usually fed up with Di Renjie made a precise conclusion: Di Renjie is not a human being! A few people are angry, and there is no guilt, so create one for him!In this way, several people made a false accusation together and put Di Renjie into prison.I don't know whether it was God's will or a coincidence. When I went to the countryside to inspect, the special envoy responsible for the promotion and promotion of officials came to Bianzhou and conducted a serious assessment of all the officials.The responsible attitude of the ambassador tortures everyone, because for them, the assessment means counting mistakes.Finally, the ambassador looked at the list and said, "This Di Renjie, what did he do wrong?" "... (various explanations)"

"Well, take me to the prison." "Are you Di Renjie?" "Yes, Lord Shangshu (Ministry of Industry), the younger generation is being polite." "Do you know who I am?" "Never met." "Oh?" Yan Liben looked at the people around him and told them all to retreat.Yan Liben looked closely at Di Renjie, who was dressed as a prisoner, with scrutiny. This was a job he often did as the deposed envoy of Henan Province.I believe that Di Renjie's eyes must have left the deepest impression on Yan Liben. They are firm, calm, intelligent, and decisive. Every word of Di Renjie is reasonable and calm.Finally, Yan Liben said one very important sentence to Di Renjie: "You were wronged!" After speaking, he stood up and bowed to Di Renjie with a serious face. "Zhongni (Confucius) once said that it is enough to know what kind of person a person is by seeing what kind of mistakes he has made. Rare in the world. In the future, you will be the pearl of the sea, the treasure of the southeast!" The pearl of the sea, the treasure of the southeast!Yan Liben, you read that right.From then on, Di Renjie always remembered Yan Liben's kindness of knowing him.Yan Liben believed that Di Renjie was innocent and recommended him to the court.The imperial court immediately ordered Di Renjie to go to the Dudu Mansion of Bingzhou to serve as a law cao. Although it's just the seventh grade, it also means a good start. Come on, Di Renjie, this is not an era of burying talents, all your efforts will be seen by the world until the day the world changes for you! Di Renjie was on the road. He climbed the Taihang Mountains that run through the Central Plains. At the top of the mountain, he suddenly looked south and stood there for a long time, refusing to leave. The clouds on the Taihang Mountains move slowly, turning into mist when they get closer, and returning to the shape of cotton candy when they go far away.But Di Renjie's heart was not on the scenery at all, he waited until the clouds dispersed before his frown eased.He pointed to the mountain that was revealed after the clouds parted, "Under the colorful clouds, this is where my relatives live!" After finishing speaking, he looked ahead, "Let's go!" The situation in Bingzhou is much better than that in Bianzhou, where Di Renjie made many good friends.However, the stories of Lin Renji, the governor of Bingzhou, and Sima Li Xiaolian, have taken root in the hearts of Bingzhou people.Neither of them is a bad person, but they always like to fight against each other. Either you dislike him, or he dislikes you.In order to quarrel, the two brothers often forget to sleep and eat (including working hours). Di Renjie has always wondered about the mental state of these two people. It's nothing to do with it, but it's amazing that they can even spend their blood for fighting spirit. Di Renjie taught the two of them a good lesson. First of all, the third contestant, Zheng Chongzhi, male, is a Facao by profession. He and Di Renjie are colleagues. Recently, he has always wanted to kill people to vent his hatred.Everyone in the Bingzhou government knew that Zheng Chong was not easy, they heard that he was put on a bad job to go to the Western Regions or go to Jiaozhi, and he would not come back for a year or so.But the old mother at the head of the family is already seriously ill, and it is impossible for him to serve her.So, for Zheng Chongzhi, the business trip this time is heavier than the funeral.Colleagues are still very caring, send Zheng Chongzhi, and give him some useful things.But Zheng Chongzhi was still unhappy, he had lost weight in the past few days, as if he had lost his soul. Di Renjie was a little different from the others. He came to Zheng Chongzhi, grabbed him, and said, "Who will take care of your mother once you leave?" Zheng Chongzhi shook his head in pain, tears streaming down his face.Di Renjie stared at Zheng Chongzhi, and said softly to him: "Mrs. Tai is seriously ill. You are going to travel thousands of miles now. Don't you worry her old man!" )” Zheng Chongzhi refused to speak, and lowered his head. Di Renjie smiled, and calmly said the following words: "Don't go, I'll go!" Zheng Chongzhi raised his head, and there was something moist in his eyes. Bingzhou was turned upside down, and the fathers and villagers scrambled to praise it.Soon, Changshi Lin Renji and Sima Li Xiaolian heard about this and were ashamed for a long time.To the surprise of colleagues, the two decided to reconcile after thinking about it.When they were crying, Lin Renji said this: "Renjie can go on missions for others, and we are still angry because of those trivial things, don't we have any shame? (Aren't we the only ones who are not ashamed?)" After Di Renjie left, the two of them became friends, very good friends. They often talked about Di Renjie, a very wise and simple good man. After his mission to Jueyu, Di Renjie returned to work and spent a good time here.All the people in Bingzhou have only one evaluation of Di Renjie: "Di Gong Zhixian, there is only one person south of the Big Dipper. (If you want to say who is the best, there is only one person on the earth south of the Big Dipper, and that is Di Renjie.)" This sentence The elders of Bingzhou hated him, because he was so famous, the court valued him, and moved him to Dali Temple to become Dali Cheng. Dali Cheng, from the sixth rank.At this time, our Di Renjie was already forty-six years old.But this middle-aged man's career has just begun, and Dali Cheng is only the starting point of his career.Di Renjie served as the prime minister of Dali, and created another record that shocked the world - 17,000 people were detained in Suiduan Prison.Moreover, among the 17,000 people tried this year, none of them complained of injustice.Seeing clearly, it was a detention in prison. This was the most difficult unjust, false, and wrong case in Datang, and Di Renjie settled it all.Di Renjie is destined to be extraordinary, and the whole world is boiling! DTTV asked the prisoner: Is there any grievance in the case of Mr. Di? Prisoner: We don't appeal, we are willing, there is a trial by Mr. Di, even if we die, it must be reasonable, reasonable and legal! A year later, Di Renjie was appointed Minister of Dali Temple, the third rank.The Di family was so happy, and so were all the court officials (except some people), and they gave him a title, "Dai Zhou Second".Dai Zhou, the God of Zhenguan Judgment.In this way, Di Renjie, who is the minister of Dali Temple, can also directly contact the emperor Li Zhi face to face, making it possible for him to enter the prime minister.But Li Zhi saw Di Renjie's power not through articles or countermeasures, but through a face-to-face lawsuit. Through this incident, Li Zhi finally saw what "Di Renjie" is. Li Yuanfang: My lord, a headless male corpse was found in the backyard. Di Renjie: From my conclusion, this person is dead!
