At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

When the people of the Song Dynasty heard this, their faces turned red and white. Well, they were going to be dragged out by other dynasties and ridiculed again.

Can you blame them?

Is it that the Song Dynasty has no military generals?

No, there are, a lot of them. It’s because the emperor is so rubbish. What can they do?

"Well, the Song Dynasty actually has a lot of talented people, so it is not impossible to unify the country. The main problem is that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is not very good. Maybe it would be better if we change the emperor," Li Wu neither likes nor hates the Song Dynasty.

The main reason is that the Song Dynasty was too weak and too shameful. Most of the emperors of the Song Dynasty were spineless and unbearable to look at.

Bao Zheng and Song Ci looked at each other and gave the same bitter smile. If it was really as simple as the immortal said, and they could easily change the emperor, that would be great. Unfortunately, it was not the case. The emperor could not be changed whenever they wanted.

Even if the other party is a tyrant, you can't just replace him whenever you want.

Otherwise, there have been so many dynasties with so many incompetent rulers. If they could be replaced, how could there be another incompetent ruler? If there were any signs, they would have been replaced.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue talking about Lord Di.

Wu Zetian appointed you, Di Ge Lao, as the marching marshal of Hebei Province to attack the Turks, and granted you the power to act at your discretion.

The Turkic army was killed and captured, and retreated back to the northern desert via Wuhui Road.

At that time, Lord Di led an army of 100,000 to pursue, but unfortunately, you failed to catch up and had to retreat back to Hebei.

Wu Zetian also appointed you, Di Ge Lao, as the ambassador of appeasement in Hebei Province, asking you to appease the people of Hebei.

At that time, most of the people in Hebei were assisted by the Turks. After the Turks withdrew, they were afraid of being implicated and fled.

Lord Di, you submitted a memorial to the court, pardoning the people in various states in Hebei and allowing them to return to their hometowns to produce.

In 700 AD, Lord Di was appointed as the Internal History and accompanied Wu Zetian on a tour to Sanyang Palace.

At that time, most of the civil and military officials accompanied the emperor, but only you, Lord Di, were granted the first house.

In September of the same year, Mr. Di passed away at the age of 71.

Wu Zetian suspended court for three days for this reason and posthumously awarded you the title of Wenchang You Xiang, and the posthumous name of Wenhui.

"Master Di, you are also a long-lived person, which makes the other ancestors in front of the sky curtain very envious." She didn't say who envied her.

The ancestors in front of the sky, indeed, were really envious, jealous and hateful. There were so many long-lived people, so what would be wrong with having one more of them?

Ah, what happened!!

"Living to over seventy years old is already pretty good," Di Renjie nodded with satisfaction when he heard that he had lived so long. His later life was actually pretty good too. He was satisfied with it. Unlike other people, he did not suffer those major changes later. This made Di Renjie quite satisfied.

As he is getting old, he doesn't want any more accidents to happen.

"Thank you, little immortal, little immortal, I'll toast you a glass," Di Renjie said, raising his glass. "Oh, I dare not, how can you, Lord Di, toast me a glass? It should be me who toasts you. Please," Li Wu hurriedly raised the glass and said with a smile.

"Please," several people drank again.

"When you were the prime minister, Lord Di, you recommended many people, regardless of your relatives or enemies.

Dozens of people like Zhang Jianzhi, the Chief Clerk of Jingzhou, Yao Chong, the Assistant Minister of Xiaguan, Huan Yanfan, the Supervisory Censor, Jing Hui, the Governor of Taizhou, all of them later became famous officials of their time.

Someone once told you, Lord Di, that all the wise and capable ministers who govern the world came from your disciples.

Hence, there came into being the idiom "a house full of peaches and plums" which is well known to many people.

When the Shenlong Rebellion broke out, Wu Zetian saw that most of the ministers who launched the coup were actually recommended by you, Lord Di.

Not only that, even Crown Prince Li Xian, the real backbone of the Shenlong coup, was deposed and then made crown prince again because of your strong support, Lord Di.

So to some extent, your contribution to the restoration of the Tang Dynasty was indispensable, Lord Di.

In fact, I also know that most of the ministers during Wu Zetian's period wanted to restore the Tang Dynasty and felt that it was against common sense for a woman to take the throne. But do you dare to say that Wu Zetian did not do well enough?

She had done better than many emperors, and the ones who succeeded her, well, I don’t want to say anything. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said he did a good job, but look at what he did later. He almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty. More than 30 million people died in the Anshi Rebellion. "Who is to blame? Wasn’t it Li Longji’s fault?

If he had not trusted An Lushan and had not taken care of his own life, would this result have occurred?

Don't say that his achievements can wash away all this, not at all.

When Di Renjie heard this, he suddenly felt much older. The people of the Tang Dynasty in front of the sky curtain actually thought that the empress was quite brave. At least she did not cause the Anshi Rebellion. They did not want to die.

So Li Longji was dragged out again and scolded half to death.

When Wu Zetian heard this, she no longer wanted to return the country to the Li family.

The woman finally stood up under its leadership. Is it going to be the same as in later dynasties?

The woman is like a puppet.

Today, the Wu Zhou Dynasty is thriving, and there is even a female top scorer in the imperial examination. Everything is moving in a good direction.

"Alas," Di Renjie just sighed heavily and didn't say anything.

"Actually, there's no need to think so much. You might be dead by then. Why would you care so much and worry so much after you're dead?"

Our ancestors were very upset. Although what they said made sense, it still felt strange to say it this way.

"That's all I have to say about your deeds, Lord Di. There are also some other little stories about you, Lord Di. Would you like to listen to them?" Li Wu asked. There are quite a few.

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Then please tell me, little immortal."

“This story is called The Lost Pearl in the Ocean.

It is said that you, Lord Di, were framed by a petty official in your early years. The Minister of Works Yan Liben was the Henan Province Promotion and Demotion Envoy at the time. During the interrogation, he found that you, Lord Di, were a man of both moral integrity and ability, so he praised you: Confucius said: Observing one's faults will reveal one's benevolence.

You can really be said to be a pearl in the ocean.

Therefore, in later generations, the phrase "a pearl in the ocean" is often used to describe some buried talents.

Another time, when you were serving as the legal officer of Bingzhou, your colleague had to go on a business trip to a faraway place, but his mother was old and sick.

So, Lord Di, you took the initiative to say to your colleagues: Your mother is seriously ill, and you have to go on a long journey. How can you let your relatives worry about you who are thousands of miles away?

So, Lord Di, you went to see the Chief Clerk of Bingzhou and asked to travel on behalf of your colleagues.

The Chief Secretary was very moved. Thinking of the discord between himself and Sima Li Xiaolian, he felt deeply ashamed and took the initiative to reconcile with Li Xiaolian.

The Chief Secretary often praised Lord Di to others, saying: Lord Di is so virtuous that there is only one other person south of the Big Dipper.

Later generations also used "Dou Nan Yi Ren" to describe unique talents in the world.

Lord Di, you have a lot of little stories, including some stories about solving cases and folk stories. I won’t list them one by one. In short, the people have seen and remembered all the things you have done. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be vying to erect a monument to praise you.”

"All of this is what Di should do. Since I am an official, I should work for the people and think about the people. Otherwise, why should I be an official?"
