When Di was young, he took the imperial examination and studied Confucian classics, and was awarded the position of Bianzhou judge. Later, recommended by Henan ambassador Yan, he was promoted to Bing secretariat law. During the Yifeng period, Di was promoted to Dali Temple Cheng. In one year, he sentenced a large number of backlog cases involving 17 thousand people, but none of them complained unfairly. Later, he was appointed as a consultant.

It can be seen that Di Renjie is indeed a veritable expert in solving crimes, which is basically consistent with the exaggerated characters in today's film and television dramas.

Extended data:

The story that Di Renjie is good at solving crimes is widely circulated. It first originated from the case-solving novel Di Gong An in Qing Dynasty, formerly known as Four Mysteries of Wu Zetian, also known as The Complete Biography of Di Lianggong and Four Mysteries of Di Lianggong. It tells the story of the unjust imprisonment of De Renjie when he was the magistrate of Changping County, and the purge of Chaogang when he was the prime minister.

Di was an important minister in Tang Dynasty and Wu Zhou Dynasty. Nowadays, the understanding of him is mostly through film and television dramas, which often forms the stereotype that he is good at solving crimes. In fact, as a generation of celebrities, Di Renjie's ability is more than just solving crimes. He knows right from wrong, but he is persistent and not pedantic.

Di Renjie's life can be said to be the ups and downs of his official career; Honest Di Renjie hates illness and regards filial piety, loyalty and sincerity as "the great righteousness". 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 corrected the shortcomings of Wu Zetian. During the reign of Zhenguan and Wu Zetian, Di made outstanding contributions. In the first year of IX (700), the emperor entered the history of literature and died in September of the same year. He was regarded by posthumous title as the right photograph of Wenchang and Wen Hui. After the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, Sikong and Liang Guogong were posthumously presented.
