"My teacher Di Gong once said..."
Recently, " Tang Dynasty Weird Stories " starring Yang Xuwen and Yang Zhigang has broken through a lot of costume dramas and has become one of the 2022 costume suspense dramas A well-deserved "dark horse". In the
play, Su Wuming, who is a close disciple of Di Renjie and , never leaves his teacher Di Gong, and single-handedly transmits Di Renjie's name to Chang'an to the streets of Nanzhou. It can be said that it is Su Wuming's dereliction of duty if there is one person in the Tang Dynasty who does not know that he is a disciple of Di Renjie!
With the deepening of the plot, while the audience is chasing the drama, they are also wondering, is there really such a person as Su Wuming in history? Who is his historical prototype? Is Su Wuming really a closed disciple of Di Renjie in history?
is about to end. Today we will talk about whether Su Wuming is the disciple of Di Renjie, the first detective of the Tang Dynasty! Di Renjie, born in 630, passed the imperial examination and became an official. He once served as the Dali Temple Chancellor, Inspector, and Prime Minister. He was a famous statesman in the Tang Dynasty and Wu Zhou period. He died of illness in 700. During his lifetime, he was highly regarded by Wu Zetian and , and his status was extremely high. Tang Zhongzong period, he was posthumously named Sikong, when Tang Ruizong Li Dan was in power, Di Renjie was posthumously named Liang Guogong, which shows the respect of his status.
Through the analysis of the emperor's weakness, the infighting of the princess and the prince, and the killing of Wei Shuren in the "Story of Tang Dynasty", it is not difficult to find that the historical background should correspond exactly to the time when Tang Ruizong was in power. It is Taiping, the youngest daughter of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, and the prince is the future emperor, Tang Xuanzong, Li Longji.
At this time, Li Longji has not yet ascended the throne, which means that the time is about 710 AD. At this time, it has been 10 years since Di Renjie died.
The Su Wuming in the play has always been proud of being a disciple of Di Renjie, and he "laughed at" Lu Lingfeng, who was not accepted by Di Renjie. He was only a small Jiupin County Lieutenant, and he was finally transferred to Chang'an after being promoted by the princess. In this situation, it is hard not to doubt that he was not a disciple of Di Renjie in history.
why do you say that? First of all, Di Renjie attached great importance to cultivating and recommending talents before his death. When he recommended talents, he also had a characteristic, that is, he did not avoid his relatives when selecting talents. In addition to Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi, Khitan generals Li Kaigu, Luo Wuzheng, he also recommended his son Di Guangsi, and more than a dozen officials have received his advice. Recommended to become a famous minister of the later Tang Dynasty, it can be said that the world is full of peach and plum!
Su Wuming's ability is so outstanding in the play, if it is really Di Gong's close disciple, why hasn't he been recommended by him? Even if he was still young at the time, Di Renjie was too ill to take care of him in his later years, but after the death of Di Gong, he would not be a martial arts county captain with the help of his teacher's connections in the court. ?
So, in the play, Su Wuming is undoubtedly Di Renjie's close disciple. But according to the real history, he should not be Di Renjie's disciple.
So, since Su Wuming is not Di Renjie's disciple, why is it written like this in "The Story of Tang Dynasty"? Who is his prototype in history?
According to the records of " Tang Shi" and a folk novel called " Ji Wen" by Tang Dynasty , Su Wuming was a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty and Wu Zetian period. There is a lot of noise. Many stories about Su Wuming are recorded in the novel, and the author of the novel is a man named Niu Su in the Tang Dynasty. Many people and things written in the novel are from his contemporaries. , and mostly anecdotal. Therefore, Su Wuming is likely to be a real person living in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and he is also very fair to .The main is related, and he is also famous for investigating cases. The only difference is that he is not a disciple of Di Renjie.
In addition, it is worth considering that Su Wuming's various deeds can also be found in some of the unofficial history of the Tang Dynasty.
However, although Su Wuming really exists, Lu Lingfeng, another important character in "The Story of Tang Dynasty", although he and Su Wuming joined forces to solve the case in the play and cooperated tacitly, in real history, in fact, "investigation" There is no such person".
