In history, Yongzheng's adviser was Dai Duo instead of Wu Sidao, who was Tian Wenjing's chief master, and he did not have too much intersection with the Yongzheng Emperor, not to mention that he lived in seclusion for more than ten years and formulated a conspiracy to seize the wife.
Since we mentioned TV dramas, let's only discuss the plot.
In order to return the treasury silver and silver on schedule and accept the stolen money, after the matter was revealed, Kangxi had no choice but to protect the prince in order to stabilize the situation. However, the crown prince felt that his position was still in jeopardy, and he had an affair with Kangxi's concubine, and was arrested by Kangxi, and in anger, he received a warrant from the Eight Brothers to imitate the prince's handwriting to force the palace, and Kangxi deposed the prince alone.
After returning to Beijing, Kangxi Ming ordered the brothers and ministers to re-elect the crown prince, and the eight brothers secretly contacted Tong Guowei, the first assistant minister of the study, to contact the hundred officials through him to support. Unexpectedly, long keduo reported to Kangxi that Tong Guowei had colluded with hundreds of officials to promote the eight brothers before proposing the new crown prince.
Subsequently, Kangxi deposed Tong Guowei as the first assistant minister of the study and ordered him to return home to retire, and Long Keduo used this matter to win Kangxi's trust and sit firmly in the position of viceroy of the Nine Doors.
At first glance at this evidence, I think Tong Guowei deserves it, in fact, you connect the whole drama of "Yongzheng Dynasty", after analysis before and after, you will feel that Tong Guowei is the most scheming strategist, better than Wu Sidao.
First of all, in the whole drama, Tong Guowei shows that he has always supported The Eight Brothers, which I think is not the case. He knew kangxi's meaning from the very beginning, that is to say, he knew that the default successor in Kangxi's heart was not Brother Baba, and if he could not understand the holy will, he would not be able to sit in the position of the first assistant minister of the study, and if we analyze Tong Guowei's psychological and political environment at that time, we will know why his strategy is stronger than Wu Sidao.
One
Tong Guowei is the first assistant of the study, and the party of the Eight Brothers is the largest friend party, and the result of this clamping has made it impossible for him to oppose the Eight Brothers, only cooperation can ensure the smooth flow of government decrees, which can be understood. Therefore, Tong Guowei must cooperate if he does not cooperate, even if it is superficial, to ensure political stability.
Two
Due to the intricate situation between the brothers and the intricate situation, Tong Guowei initially arranged Long Keduo to work outside guanwai, in order not to let Long Keduo get involved in the complicated political struggle too early, which was Tong Guowei's old strategist who deeply understood the meaning of Kangxi. Later, when Kangxi Tuo was lonely, he explained to Long Keduo that what has snubbed you for so many years is actually Yuan, and you don't blame your sixth uncle Tong Guowei. Therefore, Tong Guowei knew that Kangxi would definitely reuse Long Keduo, but when the situation was unclear, he snubbed him first, in fact, to protect him.
Three
Tong Guowei carefully laid out and launched Roncodo at the right time to accept the heavy responsibility. When Kangxi decided to use Longkeduo, he elected him through the mouth of Tong Guowei and directly appointed the Viceroy of jiumen. This appointment is very important, not only telling everyone that Long Keduo is a trusted lonely minister, but also implying that Tong Guowei can retire after success.
Of course, Tong Guowei will not fail to understand Kangxi's meaning, he has long arranged for Long Keduo to take over himself and continue to serve as the long-standing minister of the family, not only that, Tong Guowei also moved out of the Tong family and two empresses successively told Kangxi that our Tong family and the Ai Xinjue Luo family have a close and inseparable marriage relationship, and Kangxi is also very tacit, telling Tong Guowei that your Tong family is still the most important force in my love for the Xinjue Luo family.
Four
Tong Guowei's old scheming was vividly reflected in how to arrange for Roncodo to smoothly ascend to the throne and sit firmly on the Ninth Gate Admiral. This can be found from the passage where Tong Guowei summoned LongKeduo late at night, and after Tong Guowei saw Longkeduo, he said at the beginning, some people resigned from their hometowns, and some people rushed to the scene at night, which was basically a summary of their own layout. I want to tell Ronkodo, I'm going to retire, you're going to ascend to the throne, our Tong family has always been prosperous, relying on not going all the way to black.
Now the situation is critical, you have to resist this situation, and let Roncodo support the four brothers and one party, and still support the eight brothers and one party. This passage reflects Tong Guowei's deep calculations, and he asked Long Keduo to support the four brothers, indicating that he believed in his heart that the successor in Kangxi's heart was the fourth brother and not the eighth brother. If Kangxi believed that it was the Eight Brothers, then Long Keduo was a moth to put out the fire, and the Tong family could not keep it, and it was really on the dead end, and Tong Guowei's words would not make sense.
What Tong Guowei wanted to convey was that you Long Keduo should take advantage of the opportunity to raise the new prince to ascend to the throne smoothly, and although it was not explained in the later events in the TV series, there should be such an arrangement, that is, Tong Guowei instructed Long Keduo to expose the fact that he secretly colluded with hundreds of officials to help Brother Ba'a fight for the crown prince, only in this way could he win the absolute trust of Kangxi, grasp the important position of the nine viceroys, and smoothly become the supporting minister of the new emperor's succession.
Five
Tong Guowei's secret operation accelerated the loss of the Sacred Heart of the Eight Masters. Tong Guowei said to Long Keduo that the fourth brother is a cold stove, and the eighth brother is a hot stove, and if the hot stove is not good, it is easier to ignite the fire. Tong Guowei was able to ascend to the throne smoothly in order for Longkeduo, because Longkeduo was the opposite of the Eight Brothers, and the fall of the Eight Brothers could prove that Longkodo was correct.
In order to burn the hot stove of Brother Eight even more red, Tong Guowei first arranged a good move, that is, to suggest that Brother Eight try the unjust case of the Criminal Department, with the purpose of submitting the evidence of the prince's crime to the emperor through Brother Eight, and directly igniting the act of the fallen prince on Brother Eight.
In the end, it will not be tolerated by the emperor, Tong Guowei is digging a pit for the eighth brother, Tong Guowei is very clear in his heart, and Wu Sidao is also clear, so Wu Sidao, as a counselor of the four brothers, naturally strongly opposes the trial of the prince case by the fourth brother.
Therefore, in this drama, Tong Guowei's strategy should be better, although the counselor Wu Sidao of the fourth brother is also very sophisticated, but from the perspective of Kangxi Tuo's lonely paragraph, Tong Guowei can see that Long Keduo's irreplaceable role in the succession of the new emperor will definitely be summoned by the emperor alone, and Tong Guowei's strategy actually has the upper hand. As a key figure in the transition of the Tong family from top to bottom, Tong Guowei, who does not fail in his mission, is actually a strategist.
