Why does "Detective Di Renjie" like to use the inner guards to make a fuss?

The stories in the TV series "Detective Di Renjie" are all set in the Wu Zhou period. There is a secret agency operating in many cases in the first, second and fourth parts. , this is the plum blossom inner guard set up by Wu Zetian. They all have a characteristic that there is a plum blossom thorn Qin on their arms. The Internal Guard is a secret spy agency that only belongs to the leadership of Emperor Wu Zetian. It mainly targets officials who seriously violate laws and disciplines, princes and nobles who do not listen to Wu Zetian's orders, etc. It especially takes many actions to kill the royal family surnamed Li, which makes everyone hate it. Di Renjie was even more hateful. For example, in the first Huzhou case, Di Renjie said to Zeng Tai, the outer guard, "You killed the inner guard and sent the prince into the hands of the inner guard. That is Li Tang's biggest sinner." He also told Zeng Tai that after Emperor Zeng Tai died, the fate of these internal guards would definitely be miserable. This was the first time Di Renjie gave a detailed explanation to the internal guards, and he specifically emphasized that even as prime minister, he had no authority to deal with them.

The person behind the Chongzhou case in the second part is Xiao Qingfang, the chief of the Imperial Household. She is also the boss behind the Snake Spirit case. The person the emperor trusts most is a rebel. This is a cold joke. I'm afraid this design itself contains a vicious satire on people and institutions that behave recklessly. In the same Snake Spirit case, Wu Zetian was worried about Yuan Tiangang's safety after learning about the Hanguang Temple assassination, so she sent Huang Shengyan, the chief of the Imperial Household, to pick up the people overnight, but she did not expect that they were all killed by the Snake Spirit rebels. Also in the second part, Wen Kai, the governor of Jiangzhou and also the leader of the Imperial Guard, was secretly assigned by Wu Zetian to investigate a secret letter from Nanhou Xue Qinglin. When Di Renjie discovered Wen Kai's true identity, he sighed greatly and said that he really didn't understand why they wanted to join the inner guard?

In the fourth part, the image of the inner guard was changed. This time the chief of the cabinet was called Phoenix, and he was full of righteousness. Even when Wu Zetian ordered her to hunt down Di Renjie, she He also chose to believe in Di Renjie's innocence and secretly helped Di Renjie many times. This also tells the audience that as long as you really want to help people, don’t look for reasons. Even if you are in a department with unrestrained power, don’t forget the existence of justice.

It is difficult to draw a conclusion on the existence of internal guards in real history, but this kind of spy agency whose power is not restricted by the system does exist, such as the Dongchangxi in the Ming Dynasty. Factories, such as the military command during the Chiang Kai-shek period, etc. Anyone who longs for justice and sunshine will naturally hate such lackeys and organizations. Di Renjie does this, and so do we.
