The real De Renjie in history.

During the Yifeng period in Tang Gaozong (676-679), he became an official of Dali Temple (the Supreme Court). In the second year (69 1), he was transferred to the local official assistant minister and judge of Shangshu, and made peace with Fengge Luantai, becoming a prime minister and a very important minister. However, in the first month of the short second year (693), Wu hooked up with Lai Junchen, falsely accused Di and other ministers of rebellion and arrested them. "The matter, for the future minister framed imprisoned.

When a question is asked in time, the case will be reduced to death penalty, and the minister will force Ren Jie to ask a question. Ren Jie sighed: "The Zhou Dynasty was reactionary, everything was new, and the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty were willing to be slaughtered. On the contrary, this is true! " A handsome minister is not so tolerant ... since he resists, he will be executed in Japan without strict preparation. Ren Jie's brush and inkstone was written on his head with silk and put in a cotton coat, saying,' When it is hot, please pay for your family to go to cotton. '

Failing to observe the virtue and longevity. Ren Jiezi got a book from far away, and he insisted on changing it. The day of calling ... so I must avoid death. "This is do or die de Renjie. He was framed by a cruel official and sent to prison. At that time, there was a law: "If you want to ask, you will be reduced to death. "

Lai Junchen forced Di Renjie to admit "rebellion", played a wonderful chess game, and immediately accepted the charges. He said: Zhou is reactionary and everything must be changed. I am an old minister of the Tang Dynasty. Why didn't I get slaughtered? Call me a rebel. That's right. But Di Renjie didn't do anything. He took a pen and inkstone from the guard, secretly wrote a secret letter and hid it in his cotton-padded coat. He said to Lai Junchen's subordinate Wang Deshou, "It's hot now, please give it to my house and take out the cotton wool from your clothes."

His son received clothes, got a secret letter and complained to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian summoned Di Renjie and asked him, "Why did you confess to rebellion?" Di Renjie said, "If you don't confess, you will have been killed by this time." So Wu Zetian pardoned Di's execution for treason. Because Di Renjie knows people well and Wu Zetian fully trusts him, in just a few years, he introduced people all over the government.

Because of his selflessness and the talents he introduced, many people continued to serve in Xuanzong Dynasty and became the elite of the imperial court. The Biography of the Old Tang Dynasty Book De Renjie said: "It is often used as a means to cultivate talents and attract dozens of people such as Huan Fan Yan, Jing Hui, Dou Huaizhen and Yao Chong."

De Renjie always spares no effort in introducing talents. On one occasion, Wu Zetian asked him to recommend a talent, and he recommended Zhang Jianzhi, A Long History of Jingzhou. Wu Zetian promoted Zhang Jian to Sima in Luozhou. A few days later, Di Renjie was asked to recommend his talents. Di Renjie said: "I recommended Zhang Jianzhi before, but I haven't used it yet." Wu Zetian replied that she had been promoted. Emperor Renjie said, "The person recommended by the minister can be the prime minister, not the Sima." Therefore, Zhang Jian was elected as Qiu Guan's assistant minister (vice minister of punishments) and soon became prime minister.

That is, when Wu Zetian was seriously ill, Zhang Jian joined forces with Huan, Cui Xuan, Yuan, Jinghui and others to launch a palace coup and put himself on the throne, thus completing the so-called "Tang Shi Zhongxing". The history books say: "The fruit of Cambodia can revive Zhongzong and cover the recommendation of Renjie." De Renjie may not have made any achievements in the Tang Dynasty, but what De Renjie did, "All the peaches and plums in the world are admired, and all the heroes in the world return to their hearts", was once great.
