Di Renjie, who was framed by cruel officials, finally managed to save his life skillfully.

Friends who have seen the TV series Detective Di Renjie, I believe you are familiar with Wu Zetian and Di Renjie, who complement each other, trust each other and cooperate with each other, and finally create an era that belongs to them-the prosperity of Wu Zhou. In history, this couple also trusted each other, and Di Renjie also tried his best to assist Wu Zetian.

Although Wu Zetian was a very successful emperor in the history of China, she was a woman after all, and she also usurped the land of Li Tang, so there were many people who opposed Wu Zetian inside and outside the imperial court. Before and after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, in order to eliminate the forces against her, Wu Zetian appointed cruel officials like Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen to deal with those forces against Wu Zetian.

After Lai Junchen and others became law enforcement officials, they began to slaughter ministers who did not agree with Wu Zetian as emperor. Even ministers who don't object to Wu Zetian's proclaimed himself, as long as Lai Junchen and others don't like them, they all try to frame these Zhongliang and finally kill them.

Even Di Renjie, an honest official, was targeted by Lai Junchen. In 692 AD, Lai Junchen framed Di Renjie as Ren Linghui, Li Youdao, Yuan Zhihong and other ministers for rebellion and arrested them.

Lai Junchen is not only a good hand of Wu Zetian to eradicate dissidents, but also an expert in tinkering with instruments of torture. Tiger benches and pepper water are all pediatrics for Lai Junchen. Di Renjie these people, if they don't plead guilty, Lai Junchen has a variety of means to deal with them.

However, to Lai Junchen's surprise, when Lai Junchen questioned whether Di Renjie had conspired or not, Di Renjie immediately confessed. He said, "Now it is the world of Wu Zhou, and Di Renjie is an old minister of Li Tang, so naturally he is an anti-thief." Come to see Di Renjie so sensible, there would be no embarrass him.

Because Lai Junchen relaxed his control over Di Renjie, Di Renjie found an opportunity to borrow a pen and inkstone from the guards, pulled a headscarf and wrote on it, telling his injustice and suffering, and then hid it in a cotton-padded coat. After the weather gradually turned hot, Di Renjie took advantage of the opportunity of his family to send him clothes, and took out the cotton-padded clothes with letters hidden in them.

Di Renjie's son, Di Guangyuan, saw Di Renjie's letter and immediately went to the palace to find Wu Zetian to avenge his father. Wu Zetian is a wise man. Before that, he had reported to him that Di Renjie had pleaded guilty. Now Di Renjie's son brought Di Renjie's letter, saying that Di Renjie had grievances. Wu Zetian immediately understood that there must be something fishy in it.

So Wu Zetian sent Joline to the prison to investigate Di Renjie's situation. Joline was always afraid of coming to the monarch. Now Wu Zetian sent him to investigate Di Renjie, and Joline had to obey the arrangement of coming to the monarch. Lai Junchen immediately asked the judge to forge a copy of Di Renjie's death table and present it to Wu Zetian.

When Wu Zetian saw this death-thanking form, she remembered that Di Renjie was complaining and admitting the crime, and even more, she felt that there was something fishy about it. So Wu Zetian simply called Di Renjie into the palace for personal interrogation.

Wu Zetian asked Di Renjie, "Why did you admit rebellion?" Di Renjie said, "If I don't admit rebellion, I will have died of torture." Wu Zetian asked again, "Then why did you make a thank-you watch?" Di Renjie said, "I haven't written it." Upon such an inquiry, Wu Zetian knew that Di Renjie had been wronged, so she pardoned Di Renjie's guilt.

At the time of crisis, Di Renjie kept calm and took every opportunity to clean up his grievances. Later, he became Wu Zetian's right-hand man, and he also advised Wu Zetian to re-establish Li Xian as a prince, cultivated and recommended ministers loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and became an important pillar of the recovery of the Tang Dynasty.
