Who is Mr. Wu in Yongzheng Dynasty?

In Yongzheng dynasty, Mr. Wu, a pedant who was good at calculating heaven and man, was even more ingenious. He is a Zhuge Liang-style figure and can be described as the first hidden hero of the fourth son's accession to the throne!

In the first episode of Yongzheng Dynasty, there was a general explanation for Mr. Wu. According to the conversation between Laosi and Nian Gengyao and the words of Qiuyue, Mr. Wu stayed in prison for ten years, and the humidity was too heavy, so he fell ill and was lame. He needed to burn his feet with hot water, or Laosi begged Nian Gengyao to save Mr. Wu, otherwise he might not 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 on death row for ten years. What's more, his legs fell ill and he became a cripple.

And it's not Lao Si who instructed Nian Gengyao to save Mr. Wu. I'm afraid he will die of old age in prison.

Of course, the TV series' description of Mr. Wu is somewhat vague and unpredictable.

But there is another place for reference, and that is Yong Zhengdi, the original novel of TV series of Yongzheng Dynasty.

In Yong Zhengdi's novels, Mr. Wu is a famous genius in Wuxi, and all the scholars are the first. In the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, he went to Nanjing to take the exam, thinking that he was not a five-chief case, but also a top ten. As a result, he was at the bottom of the empire list.

Mr. Wu is certainly not reconciled. After many inquiries, he found that Zuo Yuxing, the examiner, and Zhao Taiming, the deputy examiner, were both experts in collecting money and taking bribes. Teacher Wu is not filial to others and naturally ranks lower.
