Re-brushing "Tang Dynasty Legends", we can't help but be impressed by the wisdom and insight of Di Renjie, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty. Di Renjie is not only a famous generation, but also an excellent detective, and his process of handling the case is so wonderful that people can't help but want to see it. In the series, we witness the unpredictable methods of Di Renjie's four proud protégés, who are stunning, brave and good at fighting, and more importantly, loyal to Di Renjie and always follow in his footsteps. However, among these four protégés, who has the highest rank? Who has the best detection skills? Let's clear the fog one by one and see the real side of these four detective masters.
1. The background of the protégé
During the first century of the Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie, a generation of famous ministers, was famous, wise and martial, and broke his heart for the country's social affairs. However, even in a high position, Di Gong never forgot his duty, he was diligent and studious, recruited wise men, accepted apprentices, and wanted to pass on his knowledge and experience in handling cases one by one.
Among Di Renjie's four proud protégés, one of them, Li Yuanfang, was born in a famous family and was a distant relative of the Li Tang royal family. At a young age, he learned martial arts, joined the royal forbidden army Qianniuwei, and learned from the martial arts master in every move, and his kung fu has long been superb. According to legend, Li Yuanfang first became attached to Di Renjie when he suppressed the rioters, Li Yuanfang was not chaotic, witty and decisive, turned the tide, and won Di Renjie's appreciation. From then on, Di Renjie recruited this young man with strong martial arts skills, hoping that he could solve his worries and problems.
Second, Zeng Tai is a model of literati and scholars. He tried repeatedly in the field, failed repeatedly, and finally gave up his career, just a county official. coincided with Di Ren's outstanding envoy to Huzhou, and the two hit it off at first sight and cherished each other. Zeng Tai suddenly came to his senses, regained his strength, and joined Di Renjie, thus starting his stormy political career.
As for Su Wuming and Xue Qinglin, they are Di Renjie's henchmen. Su Wuming has been an alert child since he was a child, he is amazing and beautiful, and his demeanor is generous, which makes Di Renjie take a fancy to his extraordinary temperament. Although Xue Qinglin was the founder of the Tang Dynasty, he was not boastful and humble and polite. He was determined to contribute to the country like Di Renjie, so he worshiped Di and studied with an open mind.
Although the four come from different backgrounds, they all share common characteristics: passionate and the pursuit of justice; sincere admiration for Di Renjie; and the lofty ideals that have been planned for a long time and are determined to serve the country. Perhaps it is these qualities that made them favored by Di Renjie, and in their later investigation careers, they showed their unique and outstanding talents.
Second, the protégé's skills in the process of investigating the case
Under the careful guidance of his teacher, Di Renjie's four protégés have their own strengths, showing extraordinary talent and extraordinary investigation methods. Li Yuanfang is strong in martial arts, Zeng Tai is thoughtful, Su Wuming is wise and brave, and Xue Qinglin is born brave. Sometimes they fight individually, sometimes they work together to solve problems, and the cooperation is seamless.
Li Yuanfang was born in Qianniuwei, learned martial arts since he was a child, and was good at using blades. Even in the face of a ferocious and powerful enemy, he was never afraid and repeatedly performed miraculous feats. One year, there was a murder in Chang'an City, and the deceased was stabbed several times with hideous traces. The murderer is extremely cunning and has always been difficult to find. Just when everyone was in the fog, Li Yuanfang relied on his extraordinary eyesight to find several hidden clues, and quickly arrested the murderer. This incomparably precise action amazed everyone present.
Although Zeng Tai is not as brave as Li Yuanfang, he has extraordinary wisdom and a calm and calm mind. He is powerless, but he is always firmly in control of the progress of the case. Once, there was a sudden murder scene in Chang'an City, and the deceased was left with the two bloody words "chopping grass". Di Renjie didn't know where to start for a while, but Zeng Tai saw the clues, and after careful reasoning and ingenious layout, he quickly brought the real culprit to justice.
Su Wuming is the sum of the two, with superb martial arts and excellent strategy. In his hands, whether it is by force or by wit, he is handy. Legend has it that one year, there were suddenly Jiangyang thieves looting everywhere, striking east and west, hiding without a trace. Di Renjie and his entourage searched for more than half a year, but there was still no progress, just when everyone was anxious, Su Wuming suddenly came up with a strange plan, and after several arrangements, the gang of robbers fell into the middle like this.
As for Xue Qinglin, although he finally joined Di Men, he was also a martial arts wizard in the world, and he learned martial arts in his early years, and he played a key role at a critical moment. One year, a major case occurred in the DPRK and China, and Di Renjie and his entourage went all out to investigate, which can be described as a reckless force. Just when all the clues pointed to the darkness, Xue Qinglin was in danger, fought the murderer, and finally broke through the encirclement.
The four of them have repeatedly performed miraculous feats in many cases, are brave and fearless, and have outstanding intelligence, and are known as the "Four Generals of Dimen". Even in the face of a frightening crisis, they are also frank and graceful, never stage frightened, sometimes brave and good at fighting, sometimes infinite strategy, which is breathtaking.
3. The unique personality characteristics of the protégé
Although the four protégés come from very different backgrounds, they are all capable men personally selected by Di Renjie, and their tastes are naturally different. Li Yuanfang is brave and upright, Zeng Tai is steady and cautious, Su Wuming is wise and alert, and Xue Qinglin is diligent and hardworking. They may have very different temperaments or act very differently, but their loyalty to Di Renjie is the same.
Li Yuanfang is brave by nature, decisive in trouble, straightforward in his actions, and never sticks to some red tape. One year, there were several murders in the DPRK, and the word "Wudang" was left on the deceased's body, and Di Renjie and his party pursued it exhaustively, but there was no progress. Just when everyone was confused, Li Yuanfang stepped forward and went straight to those Wudangmen who had not shown up for a long time, and forced out some key clues. Although this approach is reckless and reckless, it is also the result of his crisp and neat style.
Zeng Tai, on the other hand, is a scholarly figure who is cautious in his words and deeds. He doesn't like to show his edge, and he is more willing to lay out in the shadows, including the cunning rabbit in one fell swoop. One year, the government and the opposition were shocked, and several important ministers were brutally assassinated by unknown murderers. Everyone had no way to track down, only Zeng Tai took the lead, laid a sophisticated net, and finally wiped out the murderer. From beginning to end of this incident, Zeng Tai was calm, guiding everyone step by step, advancing layer by layer, and finally conquering everything.
Su Wuming is most praised for his extraordinary wisdom and alertness. He is thoughtful and decisive, and handles cases with ease. Once, there was a bizarre murder in Chang'an City, the deceased was covered in injuries, but the house was in a mess, which obviously did not look like an ordinary murder. Everyone was at a loss, only Su Wuming quickly revealed the truth with his extraordinary insight. It turned out that the murderer was not a human, but a brutal tiger, and Di Renjie and the others were all amazed by Su Wuming's wisdom after hearing this.
As the last Xue Qinglin to join Dimen, he has been practicing martial arts tirelessly since he was a child, yearning for people with strong martial arts. This coincides with the teacher Di Renjie, so he naturally became Di Renjie's most important disciple. Although he is more introverted, Xue Qinglin is diligent and studious, and he always practices by himself, and he is never sloppy. One year, when the government and the opposition encountered a major case, everyone was at a loss, and only Xue Qinglin finally found a breakthrough after arduous exploration and actual combat. This incident stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and further demonstrated Xue Qinglin's excellence.
Different personality traits have created completely different styles and techniques for the four people in the process of investigating the case, but their loyalty to the division commander Di Renjie is the same. It is precisely because of this that the four of them were able to cooperate seamlessly and invincible, and jointly composed a valuable detective epic.
Fourth, the comparison of the official ranks of protégés
Although the four protégés were all brave and good at fighting and possessing unique skills, the official status they eventually obtained was high and low, and it was uneven. It is not difficult to see how much Di Renjie attaches importance to them and the level of ability they show in the process of investigating the case.
First of all, Li Yuanfang, because he was born in a famous family, coupled with his strong martial arts, he gradually gained the reuse of the imperial court, rose all the way, and was finally named Wu'an Hou. Such a high-level title is equivalent to today's general, which shows that the imperial court has a very high opinion of him. And it is precisely by virtue of his martial arts that Li Yuanfang has made great achievements in many key cases and played a key role in solving the cases.
The second is Zeng Tai, a literati who was still influenced by the imperial examination system in his bones. Although he was rich in learning and resourceful, he was just a small official at first, and it was not until he got Di Renjie's key support that his career gradually improved. In the end, Zeng Tai was named the king of Wuling County, although he was not as high as Li Yuanfang's title, but he was also a feudal official, and his status was extremely high. And it is precisely with his extraordinary wisdom and strategy that Zeng Tai has made great contributions to the detection of many cases.
As for Su Wuming, after he was in power, although he was only a loose official, but with his outstanding achievements in the case, he was soon valued by the imperial court and was awarded the nickname "Duanmu", which is one of the emperor's highest rewards for meritorious heroes. Judging from Su Wuming's final position, although his official rank is not high, his actual influence and power are not trivial. And it was his outstanding wisdom and courage that made him famous under Di Renjie, and finally won this honor.
Finally, there is Xue Qinglin, although he is from a famous family, he has always been humble and polite, and he has followed the rules. Even if he made great achievements in cracking the case, Xue Qinglin never pursued fame and profit excessively, and in the end he was only awarded a small county order. However, it can be seen from this humble official position that he is very low-key and not vain, which is why Di Renjie values him.
The four of them are indeed equal in their ability to handle cases, but the official ranks they finally obtained are different, which reflects Di Renjie's different evaluation standards for them. Perhaps, this is not only based on the level of competence they have shown in handling cases, but also because of a comprehensive consideration of their character. However, no matter what, as famous teachers and apprentices, the four of them have established an incomparable friendship in the process of fighting together, and they are even more loyal and like-minded to Di Renjie, which can be described as irreversible friends.
5. The fate of the protégé after the death of the teacher
Before his death, Di Renjie trained four powerful protégés to be vigorous and powerful, each leading the way. However, when the old man finally left the West, the fate of the four people was different. Some people are soaring, all the way to the clouds; Some people have been reduced to prisoners and have suffered hardships; Some people escape into the empty door and behave out of line; There are even more people who are obscure, and their voices are diligent. The different encounters reflect the different fates of the four people.
The most well-known is Li Yuanfang's soaring. After Di Renjie passed away, Li Yuanfang guarded Fengzhou, was diligent and conscientious, and made great achievements. Because of his loyalty and courage in life, the government and the opposition admired him, so he was recalled to Beijing soon after, and was named the commander of the forbidden army, guarding the capital. Since then, Li Yuanfang's career has risen all the way, and he was finally crowned the king of martial arts, and the incense of his family history has been endless.
On the contrary, Zeng Tai was imprisoned and wronged. Soon after Di Renjie's death, Zeng Tai was subjected to suspicion and calculation by dissidents from the government and the opposition. Some people slandered him for having an affair with Di Renjie, and he had already intended to rebel. The imperial court was once greatly alarmed and ordered Zeng Tai to be detained in prison. Although he was acquitted in the end, his career has been interrupted several times, and it is difficult to regain his vigor from then on.
As for Su Wuming, this heroic figure who has attracted the admiration of countless people, but he gradually lost his way after Di Renjie's death. Although he was once loyal to his duties, over time he became more and more decadent because he could not let go of Di Renjie's death. Once, he was even more drunk, running rampant on the streets, and was almost sent down by the imperial court. Fortunately, there are manpower to protect it, so as not to fall into a more embarrassing situation. However, since then, Su Wuming has existed in name only, hidden in the empty door, and has no great use.
In contrast, although Xue Qinglin seems to be the most obscure, he has always adhered to Di Renjie's teachings in his life, being humble and polite, and being a low-key person. Even if the powerful wanted to re-promote him, he rarely paid attention to it, just kept to himself and became a county official. Later, Xue Qinglin moved to the countryside and lived the life of an ordinary person, which can be seen from this point that he has always adhered to the duty of apprenticeship at the beginning, and has been low-key and cautious all his life, without boasting.
end
Whether it is soaring or encountering ups and downs, the final fate reflects the different personality traits of the four people. Some people are ambitious, some people are indifferent; Some people are indulgent, and some people are happy. But in any case, the four of them are all proud sons of Di Renjie's disciples, and they have all contributed their own strength to the country, but their final fate is different. Perhaps it is this difference that can better reflect the unique brilliance of the "Four Generals of Dimen" back then.
