When it comes to Di Renjie, the first thing that comes to mind is his level of judgment, after all, many film and television materials are placed there? So is Di Renjie really a generation of detectives? Why was he deeply valued by Emperor Gaozong of Tang? Today, Xiaobian will come to tell you about the real Di Renjie. In fact, di renjie in history, his record of solving cases is very small, everyone always thinks that Di Renjie is a detective, but in fact, people are famous, not rely on detectives. Di Ren was born in a family of eunuchs, his grandfather and father were all high officials, and he was also a seed of reading from an early age. After growing up, Di Renjie became an official after passing the imperial examination and became the left judge in Bian Prefecture. Sentencing Zuo is a judicial officer from the eight pins, the official is not big, but there are many troubles. Not long after taking office, Di Renjie was falsely accused. Fortunately, the person who handled the case was Yan Liben, a very famous painter and worker in history. After he found out the truth, he found that Di Renjie was a talent, so he personally wrote a letter of recommendation, saying that he was the pearl of the river curve and the treasure of the southeast. Therefore, Di Renjie was blessed by misfortune and took up the official position of Fa Cao, the governor of Dingzhou, which was still not high. But Di Renjie did a good job and won the praise of his colleagues.
Perhaps Di Renjiedi worked well in this place, and after accumulating nearly 20 years of experience in judging cases in the local area, in 675 AD, he was transferred to Dali Temple, and this official status was very important, mainly responsible for these detention judgments in the Jingshi case, and also responsible for reviewing local cases throughout the country. From his promotion trajectory over the years, we can see that Di Renjie is experienced in judging cases, if not a detective.
Another record that proves Di Renjie's ability to judge cases is that when he was a Dali Temple Clerk, he solved more than 17,000 cases in a year, and dealt with 49 cases a day without rest all year round. What was the outcome of the trial? People are fast and have quality, and without a single complaint, there is no one who has been wronged. Regarding the details of Di Renjie's judgment, it is recorded in the old and new Tang books that there was a great general named Quan Shancai at that time, who did not know what was going on and cut down a tree in Zhaoling. That Zhaoling was tang taizong's mausoleum, and when Tang Gaozong learned of this, he was furious and wanted to kill this general directly. At this time, Di Renjie, who was a dali temple clerk, said that it was resolute not to be executed, and there was no law that said that people would have to be executed because they cut down trees.
According to the biography of Di Renjie in the New Book of Tang, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was very angry about this, saying, "He made me an unfilial son by doing this." Di Renjie told Tang Gaozong that this actually happened in the Han Dynasty, and if you now hold a cup of soil in Changling, how can you punish him? Now because you cut down this tree by mistake, you killed the minister, and after that, the officials still think of you as an emperor. This was the only clearly documented case when Di Renjie was a Dali temple attendant. Such a case can be recorded, which proves that Tang Gaozong already attached great importance to Di Renjie at that time. Not long after, Di Renjie was promoted to Shi Yushi, this is an official of the Yushitai, belongs to the supervision system, although this official rank is still not high, like Dali Temple, from Liupin, but this official position is very helpful for the future career. In general, he is promoted faster than other institutions.
We always say that Di Renjie is a detective, a detective, and the name of detective is actually picked up by a foreigner. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small book called Wu Zetian's Four Great Strange Cases, which was the beginning of a divine detective who di Renjie went to the world. But the title of Detective that made Di Renjie eventually famous all over the world was written to him by the Dutchman Gao Luopei. Galope was born in the Netherlands in 1910, and at the age of 16, he found a Chinese student studying agriculture in Rotterdam's Chinatown to teach him Chinese. Later, I also studied Chinese during my university years. After graduating from The University of Gaulope in 1935, he held public office in the Dutch diplomatic service, mainly in the Far East. So from 1943 to 1945, he was a secretary in Chongqing. At this time, he read the public case novel Wu Zetian's Four Strange Cases in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. As soon as he read it, he felt that it was written too well, so he translated the book into English, and Shunshi took out the protagonist of the story, Di Renjie, and wrote a detective novel in English, called the Tongzhong Case. Unexpectedly, after the publication of this book, it was very successful and uncontrollable. Di Renjie has since become a world-renowned detective. In the next issue, Xiaobian is ready to talk about the story between Wu Zetian and Di Renjie, why does Wu Zetian love and hate Di Renjie? Pay attention to the editor, we will see you in the next issue.
