Wang Rong has a cousin, who is like a powerful light bulb, and he is very bright everywhere. Because he looks crystal clear, he holds a tail fan in his hand, and there is almost no difference between the white jade of the fan handle and the color of his hand. The little handsome guy was taken by the elders of the family to see the big guy Yanghu at a very young age, and he answered calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, and became famous in one fell swoop.

This is Wang Yan.

Wang Yan also has the consciousness of being a public figure and always wants to lead the fashion trend. The popular philosophical debate of his time - Qing Tan. But Wang Yan's ambition is not in philosophical debate, but in diplomacy. He has good eloquence and likes to learn the methods of the Warring States to manipulate right and wrong to obtain benefits. This hobby was quite unusual in an era when everyone was swarming to talk about Xuan, so Wang Yan once again stood out in the crowd and shone brightly. coincided with the vacancy of the post of Taishou in Liaodong, and Lu Qin, the then head of the organization, immediately thought of Wang Yan, thinking that this was an opportunity for individuals to make the best use of their talents, and wanted Wang Yan to guard the frontier and establish good relations with ethnic minorities. I thought that Wang Yan must be happy, but I didn't expect that Wang Yan, who was a teenager at the time, was very scared when he heard that he was leaving the prosperous capital and really going to a remote area to engage in diplomacy. It's not a big deal if you don't take office, anyway, everyone likes to release pigeons and not be officials at that time, but Wang Yan is like Ye Gong, who is a good dragon, suddenly saw the dragon, and he was so frightened that he no longer talked about current affairs everywhere.

If you stay in the capital, you have to carry out activities. You can't talk about current affairs, and you have to talk about one or two philosophical issues. Therefore, Wang Yan changed his interest in ascetic philosophy. Wang Yan decided to study under the famous He Yan and Wang Bi at that time. But the problem comes, Wang Yan is a person who puts pragmatism first, but "Guiwu" requires a detached vision to look at the problem, so Wang Yan is confused, and he doesn't know why. Every time I feel that others are reasonable, I hurriedly change my argument and swallow back what I said. At that time, people gave him an evaluation, called "honest and unreasonable".

He can't learn it, Wang Yan knows it in his heart. He admits that when he summed up the essence of the matter succinctly, he felt that he was talking too much nonsense. At that time, there was a Zhuge Yan, who never studied when he was a child, and was defeated by Wang Yanqing, Wang Yan said to him, you have a good talent, study hard and you will make progress. As a result, this Zhuge went to study for a few days, and Lao Zhuang came to talk to Wang Yan again, and he was already on par with Wang Yan. But if the level is not good, you still have to talk about it, this is the general trend, if you want to have connections and become a big official, you have to talk about it. A person's profession is not determined by talent and interest, but by the fashion of the times. For Wang Yan, a person who often compares himself with Confucius's disciple Zigong, there is really no reason to withdraw from this seemingly detached but actually very realistic Qingtan (official) system.

Talent is limited, and if you want to climb higher but you don't want to work hard, you have to work marriage. Originally, Yang Jun was very optimistic about him and wanted him to be his son-in-law. As Yang Jun's son-in-law, he became a cousin-in-law with Sima Yan's generation (Sima Yan's first wife was Yang Jun's niece), and Wang Yan's status immediately skyrocketed. But Wang Yan refused. Later, Sima Yan married two daughters of the Yang family, one is Yang Jun's niece and the other is Yang Jun's daughter. The daughter that Yang Jun originally wanted to marry Wang Yan might be the future queen, and her character and appearance must be very good. Wang Yan's reason for retiring from this good family business is very backbone: it is said that he values his reputation very much and does not want to add a relative to the title of celebrity, so he did not agree to this marriage.

It is more likely that Yang Jun was just a Sima at the time of the marriage, and several daughters in the family had no sons, and there was no political power, Wang Yan thought that he should find a harder backer. Sure enough, Wang Yan married a very powerful woman: Jia Nanfeng's cousin, Guo. There are backers, but life is miserable.

The women of the Guo family are well-known for their toughness. Jia Nanfeng's mother Guo Huai and her husband Jia Chong are married for the second time. Jia Chong's ex-wife was the daughter of the famous scholar Xu Yun, who was exiled because Xu Yun opposed the Sima family. Later, when he was pardoned and returned, Guo Huai chased and beat her husband's ex-wife in order to protect her status; Later, Guo Huai gave birth to a son, was held in the arms of the nurse, Jia Chong was cheap, to tease his son, was seen by Guo Huai, thinking that Jia Chong was molesting the nurse, and in a fit of anger, killed his son's two nurses. Guo Huai's eldest daughter, Jia Nanfeng, is even more powerful. Not only did she monopolize the government after becoming the queen, and she was not soft on killing, but she also caught a beautiful young man in Luoyang City and went back to the palace to enjoy it herself. Guo Huai's second daughter Jia Wu saw that Han Shou, a guest at home, was handsome behind the screen, and immediately chased after him, sending Qixiang and climbing the wall in the middle of the night to have a tryst.

Wang Yan's wife is "famous", and she is naturally the best - she is tough and loves money. She once asked the servants at home to carry all the dung on the road home to water the vegetables, but Wang Yan's younger brother Wang Cheng knew that he felt too shameless and said a few words to her, but Wang Cheng was chased and beaten by her and jumped out of the window to escape. Another time, when Wang Yan was sleeping, she was piled up with money around him, wanting to see what to do with this husband who was so high that he never talked about money in his mouth, but Wang Yan woke up and saw that he was sleeping in the pile of money, and he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he could only say that he would take away these "blockages". Wang Yan's life is so aggrieved that he is really because he has no deterrent power to suppress his wife. As soon as his wife was unhappy, she wanted to run to Queen Jia Nanfeng to complain, but he couldn't eat and walked around. Poor Wang Yan had no choice but to use the name of her ranger friend Li Yang to scare his wife, when she really wanted to do something out of the ordinary, Wang Yan must follow behind and whisper, I don't think so, not only do I think so, but Li Yang also thinks so.

After the Yang family was killed by Jia Nanfeng and Sima Wei, Wang Yan was secretly happy in his heart: it was a loss that he didn't marry the daughter of the Yang family at the beginning, otherwise he would have died with it, and his grievances for so many years were not in vain. Unexpectedly, the marriage with the Guo family also made him unable to eat and walk around, and he was involved in the family conflict between the queen and the prince.

Wang Yan's daughter married the only son of Emperor Hui of Jin, Prince Zhuohuai, but this prince was not born to Jia Nanfeng. So this crown princess is a spy who spies on the crown prince. In order to control the power of the court, Jia Nanfeng has always wanted to find a reason to abolish the prince. And the prince is a person with a strong personality, and he is also very unaccustomed to Empress Jia and her group of powerful relatives, and he also wants to find an opportunity to abolish the queen. At this time, Zhao Wanglun offered Jia Nanfeng a plan: You get the prince drunk, let him copy a rebellious edict by hand, and then make this edict public, you can abolish him!

Jia Nanfeng thought about it, that's it!

So that day, the prince was ordered to come to the palace to greet his father, who was not in good health, and was led to a room, drunk, and when the prince woke up, a piece of paper written by the prince himself had reached Jia Nanfeng:

The emperor should judge himself, otherwise, I will kill; The queen should judge herself, otherwise, I will kill. My mother, Concubine Xie, and I have made an appointment to launch a coup d'état together, as evidenced by heaven and earth!

This edict was issued, and the world was in an uproar: the prince in everyone's mind is not such a stupid and bold person, but this is indeed the prince's words. What the hell is going on, except for the initiator, only Wang Yan knows. After the prince was scheming, he knew that he was going to be unlucky, so he hurriedly sent someone to tell his father-in-law Wang Yan what happened, hoping that Wang Yan could save himself by relying on his kinship with Jia Nanfeng. As a result, Wang Yan saw the prince's secret letter, and immediately ran to Jia Nanfeng and shouted: My daughter wants to divorce the prince.

Wang Yan's abacus is very clear: mediation is impossible. Sooner or later, these two parties will kill one by one, but I will be unlucky to kill either one, it is better to take advantage of the current time when Jia Nanfeng overwhelms the prince to clear up the relationship with the prince, so as to save the prince's secret letter once it is found that it will also be implicated. For Wang Yan, who is pragmatist, this is not a bad move. However, compared with the celebrities who are as famous as him, Wang Yan's appearance is really ugly, and his demeanor is lost. Jia Nanfeng originally wanted to kill the crown prince, but Zhang Hua, Pei Wei and other important ministers were opposed, and finally had to be deposed instead. When the crown prince was deposed, many ministers were sent all the way out of the city and were arrested by Jia Nanfeng. The magistrate at that time, Luoyang Mayor Le Guang, saw these people being sent to his prison, and immediately waved his hand and released all the people.

After Jia Nanfeng offended the anger of the public and was killed by Sima Lun behind Huang Que, Wang Yan couldn't get along in the imperial court. In the past, everyone didn't know that the prince had asked Wang Yan for help, but when the truth was revealed, Wang Yan's fall was in broad daylight. In the past, everyone looked sideways. But Wang Yan is also very anxious: he followed Wang Rong's example, pretending to be crazy and stupid and cutting down a few slaves and maids, and a madman naturally can't be an official. Wang Yan successfully passed the test, and moved back to a game for his character on the grounds of "disdainful of Zhao Wanglun".

Not long after hiding, Zhao Wanglun was killed by Qi Wangjian, and Wang Yan came out again. After the era of Wang Ying in Chengdu and Wang Yue in the East China Sea, the melee in the Central Plains was not in shape, and the ethnic minorities on the border revolted and moved inward, and no one pressed them. There is also Wang Shen's son Wang Jun, who was supposed to be the Central Plains barrier, and the general Anbei married his daughter to the leader of Xianbei to fight for his own territory in the imperial court in order to protect himself. Not to mention the Bashu homeless group that is running around. In short, you hit yours, I hit mine, there are two guns that are generals, and the whole north is a mess.

Wang Yan began to use his crooked brain again: he suggested that Sima Yue give up the north and run the south. So he secretly sent Wang Cheng and Wang Dun to the south, one in Jingzhou and the other in Qingzhou, both engaged in military affairs. He also sent Wang Dao to Sima Yue and went to Yangzhou, Nanjing, to replenish money and grain, and to make up the three caves of cunning rabbits.

At that time, Sima Yue mobilized the elite troops and famous talents of the whole country around him, and Luoyang had almost no defensive force. There was a minister Zhou Fu who asked the emperor to move the capital to Shouchun, but Wang Yan resolutely disagreed - he had chosen Jiangnan as the next capital, how could he go to Shouchun? The acting also has to play a full set: Wang Yan sold his bull riding to show his determination to defend Luoyang.

But Sima Yue and Wang Yan's calculations were too loud, and the heavens were angry and resentful: Sima Yue not only transferred the army out of Luoyang, but also allowed He Lun, the general he sent to guard Kyoto, to rob the property of the three princes and take the princesses home. Emperor Huai of Jin was so angry that he wanted Gou Xi, the original guard general of Qingzhou, to crusade against Sima Yue.

In short, in addition to the threat of the Xiongnu Liu Yuan and the Qianren Shile, the relationship between Sima Yue and the emperor was also tense. Sima Yue was eager to kill the emperor with a knife, so he naturally didn't want to see the court turn the corner. Wang Yan gave advice to Sima Yue again, but he was not smart in the first place, and he didn't come up with any clever plans. Sima Yue led the army to fight a movement war with the fierce Shile, and the large-scale infantry phalanx was easily surrounded and cut off by the cavalry, and Sima Yue was naturally not Shile's opponent, so he died of worry. Later, Wang Yan, who succeeded the commander, was also captured.

Wang Yan was caught by the ethnic minorities and turned to persuade Shile to become emperor, thinking that this would win the favor of the people. Unexpectedly, Shi Le loves to read, and he has seen some of the various masters, and the habits of celebrities and scholars have infected him, and he also respects people with good bones. Wang Yan originally won Shi Le's respect with his reputation, but as soon as this sentence came out, Shi Le immediately vomited nauseously. He waved his hand and asked people to knock down the wall, and Wang Yan was stoned to death.

Outsmart oneself.
