In the Yongzheng Dynasty, Mr. Wu was an ingenious pedant of Heaven and Man, and he was a Zhuge Liang-style figure, which can be described as the first hidden hero of the fourth son's ascension to the throne!
In the first episode of Yongzheng Dynasty, Mr. Wu was given a general explanation. According to the conversation between Lao Si and Nian Gengyao and the words of the autumn moon, Mr. Wu was imprisoned for ten years and suffered from too much moisture, so he fell ill and was lame, so he needed to burn his feet with hot water, or Lao Si asked Nian Gengyao to save Mr. Wu, otherwise he might not be able to get out.
The origin of Mr. Wu
First of all, Mr. Wu was a great genius. Because he wrote a sharp article satirizing the imperial court, he was put into death row for ten years, and even more, his leg fell ill and he became a cripple.
Besides, it wasn't Old Four who instructed Nian Gengyao to save Mr. Wu. I'm afraid he will die of old age in prison.
Of course, the explanation of Mr. Wu in TV series is somewhat vague, which makes people somewhat unpredictable.
But there is another place for reference, and that is yongzheng emperor, the original novel of Yongzheng TV series.
In yongzheng emperor's novels, Mr. Wu is a famous genius in Wuxi, and all the outstanding talents are the first. In the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, he went to Nanjing to take an exam, thinking that he was not the case of the Five Kui, but also in the top ten. As a result, he was at the end of the imperial list.
of course, Mr. Wu was not reconciled. After many inquiries, he found out that Zuo Yuxing, the examiner, and Zhao Taiming, the deputy examiner, were both experts in making money and taking bribes wantonly. Mr. Wu did not honor others, so naturally he fell behind in the ranking.
