Wu Zetian and Di Renjie rebelled.

Di Renjie helped Wu Zetian restore the people's livelihood, stabilize the court, and deter the foreign tribes after the regime was stabilized, leaving a glimmer of hope for Li Tang. He had established his prestige in the court and gained Wu Zetian's trust. Di Renjie's wisdom and strategy allowed him to avoid risks and protect his own safety. He had also advised Wu Zetian to make Li Xian the Crown Prince, expressing Wu Zetian's attitude of ruling the basic board. Di Renjie's achievements and reputation had earned him the praise of the court and the people, and he had become one of Wu Zetian's most trusted prime ministers.

Di Renjie supported and helped Wu Zetian. He was Wu Zetian's confidant and had a great influence on her. Di Renjie supported the royal family of Li Tang and became the prime minister to protect Li Tang's descendants. He suggested that Wu Zetian pass the throne to the son of Li, not the nephew of Wu. Di Renjie relied on his power and influence to control the other ministers who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty. In his later years, he successfully persuaded Wu Zetian to return to the Li family and reserved a large number of talents for the "post-Wu Zhou era". Therefore, it could be said that Di Renjie was helping Wu Zetian.

Di Renjie had saved Wu Zetian in the animated film " Young Di Renjie " and the movie series " Di Renjie." In the cartoon, Di Renjie and Shangguan Yi arrived in time to save Wu Zetian. In the movie series, Di Renjie saw through the plan to assassinate Wu Zetian and saved her life. These stories showed Di Renjie's wisdom, bravery, and loyalty, as well as his protection and support for Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian arrested Di Renjie because he was falsely accused of rebellion by Lai Junchen. In order to be released from prison, Di Renjie fully acknowledged the "fact" of his rebellion, but secretly wrote a letter to Wu Zetian on his clothes, revealing the truth that he was wronged. Wu Zetian discovered this fact after personally interrogating Di Renjie, and realized that Lai Junchen had forged the "Thank You Death Form." Although Wu Zetian released Di Renjie from prison, she did not reinstate him. Instead, she sent him to Pengze County as a county magistrate. As for why Wu Zetian didn't punish Lai Junchen and why he didn't let Di Renjie resume his original position, the search results didn't provide a clear answer.

Di Renjie's original remonstrance to Wu Zetian was: "The Emperor entrusted his two sons to His Majesty. Your Majesty now wants to move him to another clan, I'm afraid it's not God's will! Besides, who is closer to aunt and nephew than mother and son? If Your Majesty chooses a son, then after thousands of years, he will be worthy of eating in the ancestral temple and inherit the throne. If Your Majesty chooses a nephew, then I have never heard of a nephew being the son of heaven and accompanying his aunt in the ancestral temple."

Di Renjie had repeatedly advised Wu Zetian. In one of his remonstrances, Di Renjie mentioned the fact that Emperor Taizong had worked hard to manage the country and fought through life and death to conquer the world, as well as the responsibility of Emperor Gaozong entrusting his two sons to Wu Zetian. He asked Wu Zetian if he should obey the will of heaven and make Wu Sansi the crown prince after he had seized the throne for more than ten years. In addition, Di Renjie also advised Wu Zetian to abstain from sex, hoping that she could take care of Shengde and stay away from the two brothers. However, the details of how Di Renjie advised Wu Zetian were not mentioned.

[Wu Zetian once captured Di Renjie.] Within four months after Di Renjie became prime minister, he and the others were falsely accused by Lai Junchen and imprisoned. However, due to Wu Zetian's trust in Di Renjie, she personally interrogated him and finally cleared his name. Even so, Di Renjie was still demoted to Pengze as the county magistrate. As for the specific reason why Wu Zetian arrested Di Renjie, the search results did not provide a clear answer.

Di Renjie was the prime minister during the reign of Wu Zetian. He was chosen by Wu Zetian as her first choice to assist her. Di Renjie was promoted and became the prime minister of Wuzhou. Although Di Renjie was an old minister of the old Tang Dynasty, he did his best to assist Wu Zetian and became her right-hand man. However, because Wu Zetian appointed a large number of trusted and cruel officials to act as eyes and ears in order to balance the relationship in the court, Di Renjie could not gain Wu Zetian's absolute trust in a short period of time. In conclusion, Di Renjie assisting Wu Zetian was already his bottom line. He would not agree to give the throne to the Wu family, but hoped to return the throne to the Li family. The relationship between Di Renjie and Wu Zetian was that of monarch and minister. They had achieved each other's success and contributed to the stability and development of Li Tang.

[Wu Zetian treats Di Renjie very well.] She was very respectful to Di Renjie and never called him by his name, nor did she allow him to kneel down. Wu Zetian also exempted Di Renjie from the duty of night duty in the palace and often warned officials not to disturb him. Wu Zetian even addressed Di Renjie as "Old Guo" and attached great importance to his suggestions and opinions. Di Renjie was also a person who dared to remonstrate with Wu Zetian. He made sincere suggestions for Wu Zetian's decision. Therefore, it could be said that Wu Zetian liked and trusted Di Renjie very much.

[Wu Zetian treats Di Renjie very well.] Although Wu Zetian was considered a cold-blooded and heartless person, she valued Di Renjie very much and even promoted him to prime minister. They were from the same hometown, similar in age, similar in character, and outstanding in talent. Wu Zetian might think that Di Renjie was her confidant. Di Renjie was also very loyal to Wu Zetian. He was always alert to Wu Zetian and told her what she should not do and what she should change. Wu Zetian trusted Di Renjie so much that the two of them were more like friends. Therefore, it could be said that Wu Zetian treated Di Renjie very well.
