In 1722, Kangxi died, and Yongzheng had no intention of guarding his soul and returned to the Yongwang Mansion. He planned to solve Mr. Wu today, and asked: "Sir helped me ascend the throne, I have made great achievements, what reward does Mr. need?" ”
In 1722, after the death of Kangxi, Yongzheng hurriedly handled all the affairs in the palace and hurriedly returned to the Yongwang Mansion. He saw Wu Sidao sitting in front of the steps in a daze, as if waiting for him.
Yongzheng stepped forward and said to Wu Sidao with a smile: "Sir, you are indispensable to my smooth accession to the throne. Please ask what reward you want, just open your mouth. ”
Wu Sidao quickly waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty's auspiciousness." The ministers are not contributing to the situation, where dare to ask for any reward. When the minister is old and wants to retire to the field, please ask His Majesty to allow me to leave. ”
Yongzheng frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "The middle is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the wild." If Mr. wants to live in seclusion, it is better to go to Li Wei's house and be an idle teacher, which is also convenient for Xu to summon at any time. ”
Wu Sidao felt cold in his heart, knowing that Yong was in the Ming Xiu plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang.
He also remembered that in order to let Yongzheng gain Kangxi's appreciation, he used all his strength and used many unsavory means.
Now that Yongzheng has achieved his will, those means have become a big problem in his heart. Yongzheng arranged this way, on the surface, to respect his own opinions, but in fact he imprisoned himself around for easy surveillance.
Wu Sidao pondered for a moment, then climbed down the pole and said, "Lord." Thank you Your Majesty for your knowledge. ”
Early the next morning, Wu Sidao came to Li Wei's mansion, and Li Wei welcomed him warmly and arranged for him to live in a small building deep in the garden. Wu Sidao looked at the scenery outside the window, and his heart was mixed. He decided to make another last-ditch effort and asked Yongzheng to resign and leave Beijing.
That evening, Wu Sidao came to the palace to see Yongzheng. Yongzheng said with a smile: "Sir is homesick and understands. The friendship between you and my teachers and students is reluctant for you to leave. However, even if you insist on going your own way, it is not difficult to force others. Go home with peace of mind, and come to the capital often to see Xuan when you have time. ”
Wu Sidao was overjoyed and kowtowed to thank him. Before leaving, Yongzheng personally sent him out of the palace and instructed: "Send a few forbidden troops to escort Mr. Wu home, and you must be foolproof on the way." ”
Wu Sidao got into the carriage and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, Yongzheng was still standing at the gate of the palace watching him leave. Wu Sidao had mixed tastes in his heart, and he loved and hated this former disciple.
When the carriage traveled outside the city, suddenly a forbidden soldier ran to the car and said that there was something important to report. Then several forbidden soldiers rushed into the carriage and tied Wu Sidao up. It turned out that Yongzheng had already laid down the net, just waiting for Wu Sidao to throw himself into the net.
Wu Sidao was tortured in prison, but never confessed to any charges.
Six months later, the jailers threw him at his parents' grave, saying that he had died of a violent illness. Wu Sidao struggled to get up and crawled towards his hometown. He understood that in this life, it would be difficult for him to turn back.
At the beginning, Wu Sidao served as a master to assist Prince Yong in his administration, and the two had a very close relationship.
In order to help Yongzheng succeed in winning the throne, Wu Sidao did everything in his power and did not hesitate to use the next three indiscriminate means.
For example, spreading rumors to slander other princes, buying powerful people in the dynasty to speak for Yongzheng, and even framing other princes in every possible way in front of Yongzheng. These shady deeds have now become a major problem for Yongzheng's henchmen.
Wu Sidao originally wanted to wash his hands in the golden basin and retire to the countryside.
He knew Yongzheng well, and Yongzheng would never let him leave. So Wu Sidao was depressed in Li Wei's mansion. He understood that Yongzheng was cultivating the plank road in Ming, secretly crossing Chen Cang, and respecting him on the surface, but actually putting him under house arrest in the capital.
Wu Sidao decided to make a desperate bet and asked Yongzheng to resign. Who knew that Yongzheng had already laid out a net of heaven and earth and sent people to spy on him. As soon as Wu Sidao left Beijing, he was captured by imperial soldiers.
In prison, Wu Sidao was tortured, but never said a word. Six months later, the jailers threw him in front of his hometown's grave, saying that he had died violently in prison.
Wu Sidao struggled to stand up, his eyes firmly looking at his hometown.
He understood that it was impossible to compromise everything. He was going to fight with this disciple who had taught and later betrayed him.
Wu Sidao fled abroad, united with a group of warriors who had been wronged by Yongzheng, and published Yongzheng's black materials everywhere, looking for forces that could rebel.
Later, Wu Sidao died of illness and failed to get his wish. But these actions of his also became one of the fuses for the future secret party struggle.
Wu Sidao and Yongzheng, the teacher-student friendship eventually evolved into a life-and-death political struggle.
The teacher strives to expose the crimes of the disciples, and the disciples are to eliminate all hidden dangers that may threaten him. This has also become a good story in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
