"The Romance of Wu Zetian" uses Di Renjie to skillfully solve the four major mysterious cases during the Empress Wu period, and reproduces the bizarre, shocking and shocking social reality at that time. The author does not mention the author. On the surface, he is telling the story of Di Renjie, but in fact, he is arranging the imperial court at that time, borrowing the ancient people's models, or citing past events to encourage and punish. This is the reason why the author did not leave his real name, and he did not hesitate to write. No one will compare the Di Renjie in history with the Di Renjie in the novel. They only know that Di Renjie is really a great person; while Wu Zetian is reduced to a secondary role in the novel, serving as a foil to Di Gong. Is this the author's attitude towards Emperor Zetian?
