In the TV series " Detective Di Renjie ", we can often see that after every major case is cracked, Di Renjie will write to Wu Zetian to allow him to serve as an "official official", then what is "an idle official to serve an official" "Woolen cloth? The following editor will give you a stroke.

To, in ancient Chinese there is a meaning of resignation and return, and shi means an official career and an official position, so together, shi shi means "resigning from an official position", which means "to the things in his hands, Return to the king and return to your hometown by yourself", which is what we mean by "retirement" today.
The concept of "Zhi Shi" first appeared in Western Zhou Dynasty , " Book of Rites " has the cloud "a doctor will become an official at seventy", "a nobleman at fifty, not a pro-study at sixty, and a government at seventy". According to the record, Qing doctor called him "the old man of the country" after he came to office, and ordinary officials called "the old man" after he came to office, so we saw people call Di Renjie "the old man of the country" in the TV series "Detective Di Renjie".
Zhou Dynasty "Book of Rites" set an age reference for the future career system. Why set the age of Zhishi at seventy? "Baihu Tongyi Zhishi" explained: "Seventy-year-old Taoism is extremely high, the ears and eyes are not smart, and they are sloppy. They retire to avoid the wise, so it is far from being honest and shameful." In one sentence, people reach seventy , old and senile, eyes and ears are unclear, walking staggering, it is inconvenient to move around in the officialdom to do business.
Since the Zhou Dynasty implemented the enfeoffment system and the patriarchal system, no one in the elite was willing to take the initiative to hand over the rights, so the implementation of the official system was not common.
The real implementation of the official system started from , the Han Dynasty , in 67 BC, the Prime Minister of the Han Xuan Emperor Wei Xian resigned from office due to old illness, and the prime minister started his official career since then. In the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, after officials of the third rank or above, they were still allowed to walk in the court and participate in national affairs. After the Song Dynasty, officials were also allowed to take office in special circumstances.

According to historical records, Di Renjie was born in AD 630 and died in AD 700 at the age of 70. Obviously, in the time period in the "Detective Di Renjie" series, Di Renjie has not yet reached the age of 70, so why did he What about working in advance? This just shows Di Renjie's great wisdom:
1. Di Renjie solved major cases several times and saved Wu Zetian's life. As "Fengtai Luan Pavilion Ping Zhang Shi " Di Renjie is already a very high-ranking official. The emperor has no way to control his officials by awarding rewards. It will lead to murder.
2. There are many major cases solved and many secrets known. While Yu Wen was still there, Jiliu retreated bravely to dispel Emperor Wu's doubts.
3. Avoid the vortex. At that time, the forces of the DPRK and China demanding the restoration of , Li Tang, and were still there.
Therefore, Di Renjie usually submits a letter to ask for an official post after cracking a major case. However, due to the outstanding ability of himself and his team, the emperor has to use it for important things behind him, so he can't fully retire. The Wu Sidao "semi-hidden" in "Yongzheng Dynasty" coincides with each other, which also shows their great wisdom.
