He exists as a judge rather than a detective. Di Gong solved many cases of exploitation during his work in Dali Temple, at least thousands, involving more than 17,000 people. There is no injustice, and the quantity is large and the quality is good, which was a much-told story at that time. However, it is unrealistic to investigate the scene like Sherlock Holmes, and it is unrealistic to solve the mystery. After all, he is a government official, not a detective.
The emperor is an official, as Lao Tzu said, "saints are fickle and take the people's hearts as their hearts." In order to save the innocent, he dared to disobey the wishes of the monarch and always maintained the true nature of being close to the people and not afraid of power. He always lived above the temple, worried about the country and the people, and was called "the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty" by later generations. He held the highest judicial post in China during the reign of Wu Zetian, and was an honest and clean official in the history of our country.
Di Renjie's life can be said to be the ups and downs of his official career. As an outstanding politician of the feudal ruling class, Di Renjie has made outstanding achievements in all posts. After he became prime minister, he helped the country to prosper and rectified the shortcomings of Wu Zetian, which can be described as one of the important heroes who promoted the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
