Life of the characters

Little ambition

When he was young, Wang Gong had a good reputation and outstanding sentiment. He was conceited of his ability and family status. He often wanted to be a prime minister and an assistant minister. At that time, Wang Gong was as famous as Wang Chen and admired Liu. Wang Gong was appointed as Zuo zuolang at the beginning, but later he resigned because he was too small to show his talent and ambition. Later, he was appointed secretary Cheng. When he was about to transfer to zhongshulang, his father Wang Yun died and could not be appointed. After mourning, he successively served as Li Bulang, Jianwei general, Danyang Yin, Zhongshu Ling, and led Prince Zhan Shi.

Straight forward

As Wang Gong was the elder brother of empress Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty, he was highly valued by Emperor Xiaowu. At that time, Yuan Yuezhi was eloquent and was personally treated by Sima Daozi, king of Kuaiji. He often advised Sima Daozi to take charge of the imperial power. Wang Gong told emperor Xiaowu about this, and Yuan Yuezhi was soon killed for his affair. Once Sima Daozi called the court officials to hold a banquet. The minister ordered Xie Shi to sing folk songs because he was drunk, which was severely criticized by Wang Gong. Once again, because Sima Daozi loved Pei Shi, the daughter-in-law of Yu Na in huailing, he ordered her to talk with all the guests. However, because Pei Shi took pills, wore yellow clothes and looked like a Taoist priest in heaven, people at that time regarded talking with her as a "festival lowering" move. Wang Gong protested: "I've never heard of a misbehaving woman in the prime minister's seat." After that, all the people were uneasy and Sima Daozi was ashamed.

Out of zhenjingkou

At that time, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin trusted Wang Gong, Wang Xun, Yin Zhongkan, Xi Hui and others. However, Wang Guobao was at odds with Wang Xun and others at that time. So emperor Xiaowu worried that there would be trouble in the future, so he asked Wang Gong, Xi Hui and others to go out as foreign vassals, to use the force of the state capital as foreign aid, and Wang Wei and others of Pingwei. In 390, Wang Gong served as the governor of Yan, Qing, Ji, you, he, Xu and the military of Jinling in Yangzhou, the former general and the governor of Yanqing.

Grieving for the court

In 396, Emperor Xiaowu died and Jin'an succeeded him. Sima Daozi took charge of the government. At that time, Sima Daozi favored Wang Guobao and gave all the court power to Wang Guobao. Therefore, Wang Gong was greatly dissatisfied and often denounced. Sima Daozi also deeply feared and resented Wang Gong. Wang Gong soon went to worship the mausoleum and sighed: "the pillars are still new, but we can see the signs of national subjugation." It implied that Wang Guobao's disorderly administration would corrupt the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although at that time Sima Daozi intended to make the court and the foreign vassals coexist peacefully, he sent all his confidants to Wang Gong, hoping to clear up the past. But when Wang Gong talked about the current affairs, he always spoke sternly, which made Sima Daozi realize that the contradiction between Sima Daozi and Wang Gong could not be resolved. So he planned to call Wang Gong into the court for some reason and kill him in an ambush. At that time, Wang Gong actually planned to lead the army to kill Wang Guobao, but he didn't do it because he was afraid of the dissuasion of Yu Kai, the governor of Yuzhou, who was one of Wang Guobao's party, and Wang Zhen. When Wang Gong returned to the capital, he said sternly to Sima Daozi: "during the emperor's funeral, even the wise men like Yiyin and Duke Zhou are not competent for the important task of the ruling prime minister. May the king take all the opportunities personally, adopt the loyal advice, stay away from the evil voice, and banish the evil people." The spearhead was directed at Wang Guobao, which also made him very afraid.

Defeated and arrested

In the first year of Long'an (397), out of fear, Wang Guobao advised Sima Daozi to reduce Wang Gong's troops. Wang Gong prepared soldiers and supplies for the northern expedition. Sima Daozi was suspicious, so he ordered him to lift martial law on the ground that Sheng sent troops to obstruct farming. At that time, Wang Gong was determined to fight against Wang Guobao, so he sent envoys to contact the governor of Jingzhou, Yin Zhongkan. At that time, Yin Zhongkan hesitated because Huan Xuan advised him to fight against Wang Guobao. Wang Gong's emissary insisted on Yin Zhongkan's determination and agreed to fight against Wang Guobao with Wang Gong. And Wang Gong was very happy to know that Yin Zhongkan supported him, so on April 1898, he showed his crime of playing Wang Guobao and launched a crusade. Three days later, Wang Gong went up to Jiankang and was under martial law inside and outside. Wang Guobao was very scared. He followed Wang's advice and asked to be dismissed and punished. But soon he pretended that he had an imperial edict to restore his official position. On the other hand, Sima Daozi only wanted to make peace, so he put the blame on Wang Guobao and ordered Sima Shangzhi to arrest Wang Guobao. On April Jiashen, he gave Wang Guobao his death and executed Wang Xu to thank Wang Gong. So Wang Gong returned to Jingkou.

When Wang Gong started his army, he joined Wang Zhen, who was living in his mother's funeral. Wang Zhen responded. But when Wang Gong stopped his army, he ordered Wang Zhen to leave and continue to mourn. However, at that time, Wang Chen had already taken advantage of the troops to kill many dissidents, so he could not stop. So he did not listen to Wang Gong's orders, and even sent troops to attack Wang Gong. When Wang Gong saw this, he ordered Sima liujianzhi to lead the army to defeat Wang Zhen, who fled and lost his post. After the event, Wang Gong demoted himself and ordered him not to.

Sima Daozi was afraid of Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan after they fought. His confidant, Sima Shangzhi, suggested that Sima Daozi set up his heart to be a foreign vassal in order to be a screen guard. After hearing this, Sima Daozi agreed, so in the second year of Long'an (398), he ordered Wang Yu to be the governor of Jiangzhou, and cut off Yu Kai's four counties to be the governor of Wang Yu. This angered Yu Kai, so he sent his son Yu Hong to persuade Wang Gong to attack Sima Shang's brother. Wang GONGTING married Huan Xuan and Yin Zhongkan in parallel, while they chose Wang Gong as the leader of the alliance and took Jiankang as their leader. At that time, Yin Zhongkan wrote a letter to Wang Gong, which was hidden in the arrow stem and sent by Yu Kai. However, the slanted silk used for writing letters was deformed when it was delivered, so we could not see whose handwriting it was. Because Yin Zhongkan didn't actually send troops to support him when he raised his army last year, Wang Gong thought it was Yu Kai who pretended to be Yin Zhongkan's letter and decided to fight first. At that time, Liu Jianzhi tried to remonstrate, but Wang Gong didn't listen to him. He went up to fight against Wang Yu and Sima Shang's brothers.

Sima Yuanxian, the son of Sima Daozi, was in charge of the battle, so Sima Daozi took Sima Yuanxian as the governor of the expedition and led the troops to resist Wang Gong. At that time, Wang Gong, relying on his talent and family status, successfully forced Sima Daozi to kill Wang Guobao, so he was arrogant. Although he served Liu Guzhi, he treated him like a general in a trilogy, which made Liu Guzhi very resentful. Seeing through this, Sima Yuanxian ordered Gaosu, the governor of Lujiang River, to plot against Liu Jianzhi, and promised to grant him the title of Wang Gong after the event. At that time, Wang Gong joined the army, and he Danzhi told Wang Gong this information. However, Wang Gong did not believe that he and Liu had a grudge, but he set up a banquet to entertain Liu Jianzhi, worshipped him as his brother in public, and handed over all his elite soldiers to Liu Jianzhi as his vanguard. However, when Liu arrived at Zhuli, he killed Yanyan, the governor under the tent, and surrendered to the court. He ordered his son Liu Jingxuan and the Dongguan prefect Gaoya to attack Wang Gong. At that time, Wang Gong was going out of the city for a military parade when he was intercepted by Liu Jingxuan and defeated by the army. When Wang Gong planned to return to the city, he found that the gate of the city had been closed by elegance. He had to run to qu'a on horseback, but because he was not used to riding, his inner thigh was sore. He happened to meet the old official Yin Que and planned to send Wang Gong to Huan Xuan by boat. When he arrived at Changtang lake, he was arrested for being denounced.

Loyalty to the world

After being escorted to Jiankang, Wang Gong was beheaded in nitang on September 17 (October 13) of the same year. When Wang Gonglin was being punished, he recited Buddhist scriptures. He straightened out his beard and hair without fear. He said to the jailer, "I, Wang Gong, was ignorant and had too much faith in others, so that I lost today. But in my heart, I am not loyal to the country! After a hundred generations, people know that I am Wang Gong. " Wang Gong, his children and members of the party were all executed. After death, the family had no money, only books. He is sentimental for those who have insight.

When he was first arrested, he met his former colleague Dai Qizhi, who was then the magistrate of Hushu county. Wang Gong privately said to Dai Qizhi, "I have a son of a concubine who has not been found out and is hiding in the nursing mother's house. Please send it to Huannan County for foster care Dai Qizhi sent Wang Gong's son to Xiakou, where Huan Xuan raised him and set up a funeral court for him to pay tribute to Wang Gong. When Huan Xuan came to power, the imperial court pleaded for Wang Gong and pleaded for his injustice. The imperial court issued an imperial edict to present Wang Gong as a servant and a Taibao, and his posthumous title was Zhongjian. Wang Shuang and his son Wang Jian are all ministers of Tongzhi Sanqi. Yin was indeed the servant of Sanqi. He cut off the lake, Pu Wei and merchant Qian Qiang. Wang Tan Heng, the son of Wang Gong, was appointed to the central government during the reign of Yixi (405-418).

Wang Gong is upright and unyielding, and he has a deep sense of righteousness. Every time he reads Zuo Zhuan, he will sigh when he reads "I am not able to court under the king's command". Wang Gong was not broad-minded and did not know how to take advantage of opportunities. Since he was in Jingkou, although he has adopted the policy of leniency, benevolence and benefit, he has always been separated from those who are under him. Although Wang Gong launched two mutinies, he was not used to using soldiers. When he fled on horseback, he got sore on his legs and knew that he was not a martial arts practitioner.
