As the protagonist of the play, he is also a lonely minister and the fourth master with a cold face all over his body, according to common sense, according to the theorem given by the Chinese ancestors: those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the fourth master has absolutely no chance to obtain the position of the prince. For this reason, in order to impact the supreme throne, the fourth master did not have to ask for helpers. According to the plot in "Yongzheng Dynasty", the fourth master "has a unique eye" and invited Wu Sidao, who is not clean but can be called a god.
He didn't go out of the Fourth Master's Mansion, closed the door all day, and only built "one car".
Compared with the "virtuous person" written by the sage, Wu Sidao's experience is very unbearable: gathering a crowd, carrying a case record, and a lame old man, which is very inconsistent with the standard of "virtue" formulated by the sage: loyal to the monarch, righteous and awe-inspiring, courteous, and white. Such a person, no matter how talented he is, will be rejected by ordinary scholars and will not be considered.
But the fourth master is not a normal person, he fell in love with this unbearable "prisoner" at a glance, took advantage of his position to bail him out, and pulled him to the fourth master's mansion to "protect". In order to show his sincerity, after the fourth master came back from a business trip, he specially took the whole family to visit, and asked Wu Sidao to be a teacher for his son.
This is definitely a grace of reinvention for an old man whose heart is like ashes. Wu Sidao fell in an instant, and hurriedly returned the salute with a cane, from this moment on, Wu Sidao vowed to help the fourth master with all his heart. For a person like Wu Sidao, he understands very well: the reason why the fourth master invited him into the mansion with such a high standard but secretly must be to do something earth-shattering. For the fourth master who is a prince, he can think of it with his toes to compete for the crown.
How to help the fourth master, who wants to be popular and unpopular, and has a temper, to win the throne? Wu Sidao thought very clearly. If it is today's scientific era, it is necessary to read more literature and expand our horizons in order to explore the mysteries of nature and find out the universal objective laws, which is difficult to imagine.
But if in the previous feudal dynasties, this matter was very easy: the Chinese ancestors advocated "rule by man", as long as the emperor was figured out clearly, nothing else mattered. Moreover, the older a person is, the more stubborn and stubborn he is, and the older the emperor, the more rigid his thinking becomes, and the more regular he is to follow. Thinking of this, Wu Sidao locked himself up and made "a car" behind closed doors: to study Kangxi.
From the follow-up Fourth Master and Wu Sidao had a deep discussion on Kangxi's appointment of the old fourteenth as the general king, and the intention of degrading and withdrawing a group of capable officials, Wu Sidao personally said what he had done in the Fourth Master's Mansion for so many years: concentrate on studying Kangxi's literary works, from which he spied out Kangxi's temperament, character and thinking mode, and gradually figured out Kangxi's management habits, which is the "imperial mind" that later generations talked about.
Facts have proved that Wu Sidao's efforts are very correct. It is precisely because he only built the car "Kangxi Mental Technique" behind closed doors that he knew Kangxi's mind well, and he was able to see the sun at once: he spied out Kangxi's tricks at a glance, so as to help the fourth master prescribe the right medicine.
He worked very hard for Yongzheng, not only built Kangxi behind closed doors to study "this car", but also extended his hand to the next generation
It's obviously not enough to just work behind closed doors and study the emperor's mental skills, Wu Sidao thought very clearly about this, so he added a double insurance that he was well versed in the thinking mode of the Chinese ancestors: by virtue of the Chinese ancestors' emphasis on human and family affection, the devil's claws were extended to the next generation: Hongshi and Hongli.
There is a scene in "Yongzheng Dynasty": The fourth master and Fujin are waiting to eat, the dishes are cold, the soup is cold, and the two children have not come to eat for a long time. Fu Jin frowned and told the maid to heat it up again. It is estimated that the number of times the heat is too much, and the maid is annoyed, so it can be seen how long the waiting time is.
The old thirteen came to visit the door and was very puzzled when he saw this scene. Fu Jin complained that Wu Sidao was teaching Hongli and Hongshi to read, and the two boys couldn't memorize it, so Wu Sidao was very angry and didn't let them come over for dinner. It can be seen that Wu Sidao's status as a teacher is very high, and even the fourth master and Fujin can't do anything about him.
When the thirteenth heard that I was going to give it a try, the fourth master said casually: "It's useless." Sure enough, when the thirteenth child arrived at the reading scene, he half-ordered and half-pleaded with Wu Sidao, but Wu Sidao didn't really look at it, and still let the two children continue to read with a straight face. From the reading sound of Hongli and Hongshi, we heard the key words of "Grandpa Huang".
Seeing that the old thirteen came to intercede, Hongli and Hongshi seemed to have seen a savior and were ready to get up and leave. Unexpectedly, Wu Sidao still kept a straight face: "Is it the emperor's grandfather, or the thirteenth grandfather?" The two children humbly replied that it was the imperial grandfather. Wu Sidao split his head and covered his face and ordered: "Since the emperor's grandfather is big, why don't you go to study soon?" ”
The old thirteen touched his nose and had to go back.
From this inconspicuous scene, we can get a glimpse of important information: Wu Sidao is very strict in educating the next generation; Wu Si Taoism is Kangxi's classic quotations; When teaching Kangxi quotations, Wu Sidao's temperament changed greatly and he did not allow anyone to disturb him.
Why did Wu Sidao teach Kangxi quotations? Why is it so strict? I believe everyone understands: in order to make the fourth child succeed in becoming the prince, Wu Sidao really worked hard, not only built the car "Kangxi Research" alone, but also stretched out his hand to the next generation: ordered Hongli and Hongshi to recite Kangxi's quotations without eating.
The effort has finally paid off. At the hunting scene, Hongli instantly understood Kangxi's intentions, and praised Kangxi with a fierce boast, and successfully occupied the first position of the emperor's grandson. Later, Kangxi rode it on his head, which was the fourth master's successful promotion, and his subsequent accession to the throne became Yongzheng, which made great contributions.
