In "Yongzheng Dynasty", Emperor Yongzheng had just ascended the throne, and Wu Sidao was about to suffer disaster. After a night of competition between the two sides, the emperor and his ministers finally reached an agreement, and Wu Sidao proposed semi-invisibility.
On the second day, Wu Sidao couldn't wait to leave the city at dawn. Just after walking for a while, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. It turned out that it was the old Shisan Yinxiang who was chasing him.
So why did Old Thirteen Yinxiang catch up with Wu Sidao, and why did he give him three big gifts?
1.
Wu Sidao had just escaped the murderous intention of Emperor Yongzheng the night before, and was still in shock. We have talked about escaping the murderous intention before and will not repeat it again. In short, Wu Sidao cleverly took advantage of Emperor Yongzheng's suspicious character and mobilized five people to confuse Emperor Yongzheng.
Finally, we met the seventeenth elder brother who came to visit strangely. He was suspected of being on the side of Qingjun. Before Emperor Yongzheng could react, Wu Sidao sent away the seventeenth elder brother with the words "The emperor's selfless thing". .
After experiencing so many things, now Old Thirteen Yinxiang was chasing after him again. Wu Sidao was naturally in a state of confusion, wondering what kind of medicine was in Old Thirteen Yinxiang’s jar.
And the jar filled with old Shisan Yinxiang is indeed not medicine, but wine. Of course, it can also be understood as medicine? Heart medicine!
In fact, when Old Thirteen Yinxiang came this time, Wu Sidao’s first impression was that Emperor Yongzheng must have gone back on his word and wanted to get rid of him. Therefore, when faced with the wine handed over by Old Thirteen Yinxiang, Wu Sidao did not accept it, but looked at Old Thirteen Yinxiang doubtfully. I respect you, the old man, on behalf of Fourth Brother? Practice it for you. ?
At this moment, Wu Sidao must have thought of Kaner. Kaner was poisoned to death by Gao Wuyong who was instigated by the fourth son Yinzhen. He couldn't believe that Old Thirteen Yinxiang, known as the "King of Chivalrous People", had always been aboveboard, how could he do such a dirty thing?
Old Thirteen Yinxiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Wu Sidao meant, so he poured a bowl first and drank it all.
There is a question here. Did the thirteenth Yinxiang act under the order of Emperor Yongzheng, or did he do it spontaneously?
2.
Although Old Thirteen Yinxiang said that he was the fourth brother, there is a problem with this sentence. The correct term is the fourth brother of the emperor, or directly Talk about the emperor. If he simply used the title Fourth Brother, it would prove that performing this behavior for Wu Sidao was not an order from Emperor Yongzheng.
Does that mean that Emperor Yongzheng did not have an order? Of course he did, but the order was not given to the old Shisan Yinxiang, but to Sifu Jin, who is the current queen.
Let’s look at this wine again. What kind of wine is this wine?
This wine was brought by the fourth son Yinzhen when he took a risk and slapped the young eunuch guarding the door before sneaking into the clan mansion to visit the thirteenth son Yinxiang. At that time, they formulated a strategy to seize the throne by force and formed an iron triangle to seize power.
At that time, Wu Sidao had just been tested by the fourth son Yinzhen with gold and silver treasures. He even compared himself to Li Shimin to ensure that Wu Sidao and everyone were of the same mind. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the master became the emperor, and the thirteenth old man Yinxiang was immediately sealed as the Iron Hat King. Only Wu Sidao left alone and silently.
This jar of wine represents the beginning and the end. Half of it is drunk when planning to seize power, and the other half is reserved for the successful seizing of power and drinking when celebrating. The thirteenth old Yinxiang could not represent the emperor. He could at most represent the fourth brother a day ago, so he said that he was practicing for Wu Sidao on behalf of the fourth brother.
To complete the ritual after successfully seizing power, that is to kill the half-jar of wine. There were only three people, but they became two. In fact, with Old Shisan Yinxiang's temper, he would naturally wonder why Wu Sidao left, but he didn't ask, he just said: We are sorry for you! ?
Then why did Old Shisan Yinxiang suddenly say such a thing?
3.
This sentence came from the old Shisan Yinxiang himself, but he used the word "we", which shows that he was not under the orders of Emperor Yongzheng Come.
He just felt that Emperor Yongzheng’s approach was a bit confusing, and he really felt sorry for Wu Sidao. There were three reasons:
The first reason was also mentioned before. Originally, the three people** The two of them enjoyed the fruits of victory, but Wu Sidao, who had contributed the most, had to wander around the world, and I felt a little sorry for him in my heart.
The second reason is the unspeakable secret of the old Shisan Yinxiang. He is known as the "King of Chivalrous People" and he always wants to fight against injustice when he encounters it. Recalling that for Wei Dongting, he did not hesitate to fall out with his fourth brother Yinzhen, and he even went to Emperor Kangxi in anger to find out about the unjust case of Brother Wu from the Criminal Department. Even when Prince Yinzhen committed a crime, he refused to add insult to injury and be implicated.
But this time Wu Sidao went into seclusion, but he did nothing. In other words, he once approached Emperor Yongzheng, but was disappointed. He was sorry that he could not keep Wu Sidao. He was not sorry for going into seclusion, but that Emperor Yongzheng could not keep him. Keeping him would be harming him. Later, when Emperor Yongzheng was worried that there was no one available, the thirteenth old man Yinxiang also mentioned that it would be great if Wu Sidao was here, but Emperor Yongzheng turned his back on him.
The third reason is a rather hidden reason that most people cannot see, that is, I am sorry for Wu Sidao's love. The first person to notice the love between Wu Sidao and Nian Qiuyue was probably not the fourth child Yinzhen, but the thirteenth child Yinxiang. That time when he went to Prince Yong's Mansion for dinner, he couldn't even call Wu Sidao, but Nian Qiuyue solved the problem in one go. From that time on, he knew they were in trouble.
However, with the arrest of the old thirteen Yinxiang, the situation changed. Unexpectedly, when he came out again, the fourth brother became the emperor and Nian Qiuyue became the concubine Nian.
4.
Even if Wu Sidao retired to seclusion, Emperor Yongzheng did not let him go, but sent an informant. So did Old Thirteen Yinxiang know that there was something wrong with Ru Yue?
Actually, he didn't know that if Emperor Yongzheng directly told the old thirteenth Yinxiang that Ruyue was sent to monitor Wu Sidao. With the character of the "Xia Wang", he would naturally not agree, and Emperor Yongzheng also knew his temper, so he would not arrange it like this!
And Ruyue was not brought by Old Thirteen Yinxiang, because he was still locked up in the Zongren Mansion yesterday, and it was impossible to conjure up Ruyue in one night. When Old Thirteen Yinxiang brought Ruyue down, he said: This is what I discussed with my fourth sister-in-law and asked her to take care of you! ?
So, Ruyue was prepared by Sifujin (Queen) in advance, maybe not one, but multiple. Only she is most like Qiuyue. Old Thirteen Yinxiang chose her and named her Ruyue. This also alleviated the guilt in Old Thirteen Yinxiang's heart.
After Wu Sidao got in the car, he turned around and said: It seems that I will have to be controlled by others for the rest of my life! ?
This sentence is also a pun. On the surface, it means that Ruyue will serve him in the future. Another meaning is for Old Thirteen Yinxiang to listen to. I, Wu Sidao, still cannot do without your control.
5.
So Ruyue was sent to monitor Wu Sidao. Is there any basis for this fact?
In fact, neither Emperor Yongzheng nor the Queen had that much confidence in Ruyue. If they could report, they would report, and if they couldn't, forget it.
How smart Wu Sidao is, he will not reveal his feelings easily before he is sure that there is nothing wrong with Ruyue. The most obvious example is when he went to Tian Wenjing's place. At first he was with Li Wei. Li Wei was too loyal and it was not easy to escape.
So, he stayed at Li Wei's place without leaving the door, and taught Ru Yue how to practice calligraphy with peace of mind. This also shows that Wu Sidao still has some scruples. He did it to both Li Wei and Ru Yue, and at the same time gained Emperor Yongzheng's trust.
Later he planned to go to Shanxi and met Tian Wenjing in a restaurant. There were only four people present at that time, Li Wei, Wu Sidao, Ruyue and Tian Wenjing. At that time, Li Wei planned to sell Wu Sidao to Tian Wenjing as a staff member for eight thousand taels of silver. Only these four people knew about this matter.
Later, when Li Wei came to Beijing, he chatted with Emperor Yongzheng about Wu Sidao. Emperor Yongzheng suddenly asked: I heard that Wu Sidao wanted to go to Tian Wenjing's place? ?
At that time, Li Wei broke out in cold sweat. Only the four people mentioned above knew that Wu Sidao wanted to go to Tian Wenjing. It was impossible for Wu Sidao to tell Emperor Yongzheng himself, and neither could Li Wei. Otherwise Emperor Yongzheng would not have asked this question, and Li Wei would not have been surprised. Tian Wenjing was even less able to report. After all, his relationship with Emperor Yongzheng was not good enough to talk about everything, and he had no motive to report, otherwise Wu Sidao would not have escaped from him in the end.
The only person who reported it could only be Ru Yue. Of course, this was just reasoning. Ru Yue was the most suspicious. Of course, it was not ruled out that Emperor Yongzheng knew that Tian Wenjing was in trouble and asked Li Wei deliberately like this. And Wu Sidao must not have wanted to escape Emperor Yongzheng's sight, otherwise he would not have taught her to write.
Wu Sidao later escaped with Ru Yue. On the one hand, he may have incited Ru Yue to rebel, or Ru Yue was surrendered by him. After all, Emperor Yongzheng would not make things difficult for a little girl. The second reason is that there is a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers. Ru Yue is by my side, which proves that I, Wu Sidao, cannot escape. After all, there is no royal land in the world.
In other words, both parties have bought peace of mind!
Wu Sidao was moved by the practice of the old Shisan Yinxiang and gave him several suggestions, including rejecting the title of Iron Hat King, including observing people who do secret things in the mansion, including in the future Do things in a low-key manner. These suggestions really shocked the old Shisan Yinxiang. As for the fact that he did not dare to defeat Emperor Yongzheng in chess later, this is a story for another day and will not be mentioned here.
