When the Western Jin Dynasty attacked Wu, Wang Rong sent Luo Shang and Liu Qiao as the vanguard to assist Wang Jun in attacking Wuchang, and Wu generals Yang Yong, Sun Shu and Wu Guojiang Xia Taishou Liu Lang each led the crowd to surrender to Wang Rong, Wang Rong led the army to the Yangtze River, and Wu Guoya's gate general Meng Tai Xianqi Chun and Yi Erxian surrendered.

The state of Wu was destroyed, and Wang Rong entered Anfeng County because of his merits, increased the number of food towns by 6,000 households, and gave 6,000 horses of silk. Wang Rong crossed the river to appease the people of the newly attached Wu State and preached the benevolence of the Jin family.

Shi Wei, who once served as Guangluxun in Wu State, was an upright person, disagreed with Sun Hao, and went home sick. Wang Rong praised his Qinggang Festival, and recommended him to Emperor Wu, who issued an edict to worship Shi Wei as a councilor, and offered 2,000 stone for life, and the people of Jingzhou were happy to obey Wang Rong.

In the third year of Taikang (282), Wang Rong was recruited as a servant.

…… ……

Liu Zhao, the Taishou of Nanjun, bribed with a muslin in the tube with a fifty-end name (look at the improvement of "Jin Law") Wang Rong, who was picketed and impeached by Liu Yi, the captain of Sili, because Wang Rong knew that it was a bribe and did not accept it, so he was not punished, but the people who talked about it thought that this was also Wang Rong's fault.

Emperor Wu said to the courtiers, "Wang Rong's behavior, how can it be regarded as selfishness, it is just that he is not greedy and different from others." ”

Although Emperor Wu explained to Wang Rong in this way, Wang Rong was despised by the Qing Dynasty and his reputation was damaged. In the fifth year of Taikang (284), he moved to Guangluxun. In the tenth year of Taikang (289), he was appointed as the secretary of the ministry, but he resigned due to the death of his mother.

…… ……

Emperor Wu died, Emperor Hui of Jin Sima Zhen ascended the throne, assisted by Taifu Yang Jun, appointed Wang Rong as the crown prince, and Zhang Hua, Pei Kai, and Heqiao were all suspicious of Yang Jun because of their virtue and prestige, and were not allowed to participate in court politics.

Yang Jun's family was executed, and Empress Jia took power, and at that time, Ma Yu (繇yao) of Dong'an Company arbitrarily punished and rewarded, and shocked inside and outside.

Wang Rong admonished Sima Xuan, "After the success of a major event, consider the problem more far-reaching. ”

Sima Miao didn't listen, and was really deposed and moved to Liaodong.

Wang Rong was later transferred to Zhongshu Ling, added Guanglu doctor, and gave 50 people a letter of grace. He was also transferred to the left servant of Shangshu and led the affairs of the ministry. When he was appointed to the Ministry of Officials, Wang Rong created the Jiawu system, but when selecting talents, let the selected people govern the people first, and then grant officials to appoint. However, he was impeached by Fu Xian, the captain of Sili, and Wang Rong was in-law with the descendants of the Jia family and the Guo family of the queen of Jia, so he was not dismissed.

In September of the seventh year of Yuankang (297), he was promoted to Situ.

…… ……

Wang Rong thought that Wang Zheng was about to be defeated, so he cooperated with the ministers to seek tolerance, and later Min (愍mǐ

The prince of Huai, Sima Shu (yù), was deposed, and he did not give a word of advice. Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, rose up and imprisoned Jia, and after the arrest of Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua, the servant of Shangshu, and Jia Mi of Shizhong, Wang Rong was dismissed from office because of marrying his daughter and Pei Yi.

Wang Rong is Pei Rong's father-in-law, Pei Rong is guilty of "destroying the three clans", so he brought Wang Rong to him, but fortunately, he was only exempted from office

Soon, Wang Rong was worshiped as Situ, although he had the power of the prime minister's three divisions, but handed over the political affairs to the subordinates, he often rode a pony from the door to travel, and the people who saw him did not know that he was the third duke.

Many of Wang Rong's protégés and former officials also became big officials, and they had to avoid him when they met him on the road.

In July of the first year of Yong'an (304), Sima Yue was accompanied by Emperor Hui to conquer Sima Ying in the north, and Wang Rong and other officials accompanied him. In the defeat of Dangyin, Emperor Hui was hit by three arrows, and Ji Shao was killed.

In the midst of danger, Wang Rong personally confronted the rebel army and risked the risk of a white blade, but he always talked and laughed freely and never looked afraid. Sometimes they gather relatives and friends to feast and drink.

…… ……

Wang Rong's wife, 偓䰀 (wǒ), knew that Wang Rong loved money, and she was particularly stingy.

There was a fruitful plum tree in his yard, Wang Rong wanted to sell the fresh plums for some money, but he was worried that others would take the kernels after eating the plums, and his plums would not be the only one.

It's such a stingy ghost, but he's willing to count the money with his wife.

Many people will always hide and tuck money when they have it, for fear that their wives will find out, and he never hides it from his wife when he gets money, and the two of them sit around and count slowly, counting from dawn to dark, and they are still happy.

Other couples are either gambling books and pouring tea, or watching the stars and the moon, or writing poems and playing chess, but he is ingenious and only loves to count money.

…… ……

Relatives and powerful ministers take turns to control the government, and no one knows where the country's way out is.

The enthusiastic Wang Rong once gave a message to those in power, hoping to stabilize the situation and make popular friends, but unfortunately no one adopted it. Once he gave King Qi a good idea, a villain framed him, and he was almost killed, but he still picked up a life by pretending to fall into the toilet.

No one accepts good words, and doing good deeds will be slandered, in this case, Wang Rong has no choice but to be a bystander and not do business. He knew in his heart that the world was chaotic and everything was wrong.

In many court affairs, he no longer expressed his opinion. After experiencing the resignation of those in power, he learned how to protect himself. For these reasons, many rulers were very comfortable with him, and the officials became bigger and bigger.

In order to protect himself, he chose two methods, one was laissez-faire, and the other was self-blackening, pretending to be a greedy person for money.

Although he became a big official, he didn't do anything at all, and often rode out on horseback during his office hours. If there is something, do it according to the above meaning, and ensure that someone handles it. This will reassure those in power that they dare to use him without fear of rebelling against the instructions of those in power.

Another thing is that he attaches great importance to money and is stingy with money. It's not because he's poor, it's because he's rich.

It's really strange that this kind of thing makes state cadres think like this. What's more, after his daughter got married, she borrowed money from her father. Once, when she came home, she found that her father had a bad attitude towards her, and soon thought that she hadn't paid back the money yet, so she immediately paid it back, and it worked. Wang Rong's attitude towards her immediately changed. And he spread the word about it.

A greedy person is so stingy that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know it, Wang Rong is also good enough to fight for acting, and it is not easy for him to wear a mask to do things. Wang Rong lived a long time later, and it was a good ending at the time.

…… ……

The Wei and Jin dynasties were dark and terrifying, so that talented people like Wang Rong did not dare to do practical things, and because of practical reasons, they were not willing to be mediocre ministers, and they did not dare to say their inner thoughts.

Savor the historical figures and read the truth from their lives.

Wang Rong used his life to tell us that we must know how to perceive human feelings and see the development of the situation clearly. To display your talents, you should also choose a good platform and period. In the midst of chaos, we must learn to protect ourselves well and master the way to survive.

On the fourth day of the sixth month of the second year of Yongxing (305) (July 11), Wang Rong died in Jiaxian County at the age of seventy-two, and his nickname was Yuan.

…… ……

The ranking of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, no matter how they are ranked, is always Wang Rong at the bottom.

The reason why Wang Rong is ranked last is that he is the youngest; the second is that he entered the bamboo forest at the latest; The third is that he was later keen on fame and fortune, and completely became a bureaucrat, a typical big bureaucrat.
