Yongzheng Dynasty Why did Wu Sidao not want to help when he saw Nian Qianyao being killed?

This is about the problem in the film and television drama "Yongzheng Dynasty", because Wu Sidao belongs to a fictional historical figure, at least he can't be found in "Qing History Manuscript".

This question involves three people, Wu Sidao, Yongzheng and Nian Qianyao, but asked Wu Sidao why he didn't save Nian Qianyao? So you have to look at Yongzheng and Nian Qianyao first to figure it out. <>

Yongzheng, in "Yongzheng Dynasty", the main characteristics are diligence, uprightness, and a strong desire for power.

Nian Qianyao, in "Yongzheng Dynasty", the main feature is that he is talented and likes to speculate - for example, in the battle for succession, he was obviously a person from Yongzheng, but he once wanted to get close to the eighth master. This shows that Nian Qianyao's desire for power is also extremely strong.

Therefore, the main contradiction between Yongzheng and Nian Qianyao is not because Nian Qianyao is too arrogant, but because Yongzheng feels that he can't control it. The example is the Thirteenth Master, who is more powerful than Nian Qianyao, but Yongzheng didn't react. Because Yongzheng knows that the Thirteenth Master is his own iron, everything he does is based on the interests of the imperial power.

But Nian Qianyao's performance is not like this, coupled with the heavy troops in his hands, it poses a great threat to Yongzheng, naturally Yongzheng is about to be dismantled, and Nian Qianyao's "thunder" that will explode at some point is unknown. <>

understands the root cause of the contradiction between Yongzheng and Nian Qianyao, let's analyze Wu Sidao again.

First of allWu Sidao was an intellectual, and he was also fierce, but he had a disability and could not realize his ambitions. Therefore, he was willing to give advice to Yongzheng, but in fact, he used Yongzheng to realize his own long-cherished wish.

So this proves that he and Yongzheng's goals are the same, and he must consolidate Yongzheng's power and not allow outsiders to blaspheme. SoWu Sidao's first reason for not saving Nian Qianyao is that there are also fundamental contradictions between the two, which are still irreconcilable

SecondlyAlthough Wu Sidao's power and conspiracy skills are amazing, his foundation is Confucianism, emphasizing benevolence, respect and humility and order. Otherwise, why did Wu Sidao reject Nian Qianyao's sister's kindness? So much so that it was said:

You are a Yongzheng person after all. The subtext is, I don't deserve it.

Therefore, Wu Sidao is against the indiscriminate killing of innocents and extravagance. Because this is a damage to "the power of the people and the will of the people". Looking at Nian Qianyao again, he has done a lot of these two things.

In the early stage, because Yongzheng needed Nian Qianyao's talent, Wu Sidao also understood that he could only open his eyes and close his eyes and let Nian Qianyao "fly to the sky".

But when Yongzheng decided to get rid of Nian Qianyao, it meant that it lost its value. So the second reason is:Wu Sidao didn't look down on Nian Qianyao in the first place, and thought he was cruel and extravagant, why save

didn't take the opportunity to fall into the well, Wu Sidao was merciful.

Third, Wu Sidao noticed that "the wind direction has changed" from Yongzheng's attitude of insisting on getting rid of Nian Qianyao. That is, Yongzheng's killing of Nian Qianyao means that Yongzheng's status is no longer threatened by anyone. That's why he dared to shoot at the people around him.

Otherwise, if the Eight Masters Party is still rampant, will Yongzheng dare to kill Nian Qianyao?

Wu Sidao sniffed out the "change in wind direction" and realized that his role had also declined greatly, and even in the long run, it was very likely that he would not even be able to keep himself. So the third reason is:At this delicate juncture, Wu Sidao needs to protect himself.

How can you go against the dragon scales again and save Nian Qianyao.

Nian Qianyao is used to enjoying glory and wealth, so his temperament is simply unreasonable, and he will kill innocents indiscriminately when he is unhappy, so he is going to die, Wu Sidao will never keep it.

Since ancient times, "people die for money, birds die for food" Wu Sidao saved or did not save Nian Qianyao, which seems to be a difference in thought, but behind it is the "profit" he pursues.

Because Nian Qianyao killed people like hemp, countless lives were lost in his hands, and he was insatiable, tried his best to collect money, formed a party for personal gain, and relied on merit to threaten the imperial power.

He was worried that Nian Qianyao's achievements would be high, and he would not listen to the deployment, because Nian Qianyao's achievements had swelled, and his life was very luxurious, which ruined the morale of the army.

This is a fairy plot, because Nian Qianyao is an ambitious person, he has the logistical power in his hands, and it is very likely that he will launch a military coup.

This is because Nian Qianyao can be said to be a master of high merit at that time, with very great power and very high status, so Wu Sidao asked the fourth master to keep an eye on him to avoid him from rebelling.

Because Nian Qianyao is a particularly capable person and holds real power in his hands, he will threaten the rule of the ruler.

Because this person is very potential, only by keeping an eye on this person and letting this person be used for himself can he make himself more powerful.

It was because at that time or Xiang Nian Qianyao posed a great threat to the imperial power of Emperor Yongzheng, so Wu Sidao did not help him, and Wu Sidao himself was also in a state of inability to protect himself at that time.

It's because he doesn't want to end up like this. Gao Hungerhui and the emperor was already very suspicious of him at that time, if he pulled Nian Qianyao at this time, Qi Da might let him die without a place to be buried.

It was because he felt that Nian Qianyao's death was inevitable, and he knew that Nian Qianyao had indeed committed a big crime, and he had the intention of killing the emperor.

First of all, it should be explained that Nian Qianyao's governor of Sichuan was not promoted by Kangxi because of his good work, but when the thirteenth master carried the black pot for him, Yongzheng fought for him. Wu Sidao is such a wise and intelligent person, and he can see at a glance what kind of person Nian Qianyao is.

Who can be the governor of Sichuan? The only candidate in Yongzheng's hands is Nian Qianyao. However, Nian Qianyao exterminated Jiangxia Town without asking for instructions, and also embezzled four million silver, which made Yongzheng see clearly that this person was too ambitious, and it would be difficult to control it once he let go, so he had to take Wu Sidao's suggestion and send Li Wei to keep an eye on Nian Qianyao to prevent him from creating a greater disaster.

Then an incident happened that made Yongzheng even more angry: when Nian Qianyao learned that he was going to be the governor of Sichuan, he did not first come to thank his master Yongzheng, but ran to see the fourteenth and eighth masters to thank him, which made Yongzheng very unhappy. As Yongzheng's domestic slave, Yongzheng's cronies cultivated single-handedly, if he breaks out of control and betrays himself and takes refuge in the Eight Masters Party at this time, it will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house, and Yongzheng will face a situation of losing all the games, which is unacceptable to Yongzheng.

So, Yongzheng directly withheld Nian Qianyao's appointment documents, and the frightened Nian Qianyao knelt in Yongwang's mansion for a whole day, and finally when Yongzheng completely surrendered him, the appointment of the governor of Sichuan was really given to Nian Qianyao.

At that time, Nian Qianyao was quite honest, at least he didn't let the fourth master and the thirteenth master feel anything, but Mr. Wu was the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, and he felt that he was more bullish than Zhuge Liang.

At that time, Kangxi was in a hurry to recruit Nian Qianyao, because the hundred officials were burned by the fourth master in public, but everyone did not say anything about it, so Kangxi asked Nian Qianyao to ask about it must be this matter, for fear that Nian Qianyao would say something unfavorable to him in the future, so he arranged Li Wei and Xiaocui to Nian Qianyao to monitor him, so Mr. Wu's foresight can be seen.

This is because the battle between the princes is particularly serious at this time, and Nian Qianyao will become the fourth master's helper when he holds the military power, so Wu Sidao will let the fourth master watch him.

This is because Nian Qianyao holds the military power in his hands, and if the fourth master wants to ascend to the throne, it will be a big help, so he will let the fourth master look at him.

Because Nian Qianyao's ambition is relatively large, and the power in Nian Qianyao's hands is relatively large, so he wants the fourth master to watch him.

The reason why Yongzheng wanted to kill Wu Sidao was that he was afraid that he would be used by the eighth elder brother.

Yongzheng is in the process of seizing the heir, Wu Sidao gave him a lot of shady strategies, although he won, but Wu Sidao is alive, once used by the eighth elder brother, it is the biggest threat to Yongzheng, so Yu Cha Yongzheng plans to kill Wu Sidao and kill people.

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to go back to the palace, ostensibly to visit Wu Sidao, but in fact, he was looking for an opportunity to kill him, but Wu Sidao said that he would never betray Yongzheng with emotion, and asked Yongzheng to send someone to watch Lu leak him. Let Yongzheng think about the old feelings, and then let Wu Sidao go.

Comparison between Wu Sidao and Li Wei:

Compared with Li Wei, Wu Sidao is less clever, too pedantic and traditional, in terms of survival skills, he is far inferior to Li Wei, don't look at Li Wei is an unreliable person on the surface, but he is very reliable, and he was exceptionally promoted to the governor of Liangjiang. Yongzheng is in front of these two people, although they are both high-ranking identities, but their own feelings are very different in getting along.
