Wang Shen lost his parents and was adopted by his uncle Wang Chang. Wang Shenshan wrote articles. At first, he was made a subordinate by general Cao Shuang. Later, he was promoted to be the servant of Zhongshu. After the gaopingling coup, Wang Shen was removed because he was Cao Shuang's official.

Life of the characters

Early experience

Wang Shen was born in Jinyang, Taiyuan. His grandfather Wang Rou was the Hun Zhonglang general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his father Wang Ji was the eastern prefect of the Cao Wei Dynasty. Wang Shen lost his parents and was adopted by his cousin, Sikong Wang Chang. He served his uncle as well as his father. He devoted himself to his stepmother and widowed sister-in-law and was famous for his filial piety. Good at reading and writing. General Cao Shuang was called to be his family. Many times he moved to be the servant of Zhongshu.

In 249, Sima Yi launched the gaopingling incident and killed Cao Shuang. Because Wang Shen was Cao Shuang's official, he was dismissed. Later, he was appointed to serve the censor and became a Secretary Supervisor.

Vendor in danger

During the Zhengyuan period, he moved to be a regular official and a servant in charge of his works. The book of Wei, which was compiled together with Xunzi and Ruanji, was mostly concealed by the authorities, and was not as direct as Chen Shou's Three Kingdoms. At that time, Cao Mao, the emperor of Wei, was eager to learn and had literary talent. He invited Wang Shen and Pei Xiu to Dongtang for many times to talk about knowledge and exchange articles. He called Wang Shen Mr. Wentu and Pei Xiu scholars.

Seeing that his power was weakening day by day, Cao Mao felt extremely resentful. On the night of the sixth day of may in the fifth year of Ganlu (260 A.D.), he ordered his redundant servants Li Zhao and Huang men's subordinate officer Jiao Bo to deploy Jiashi in lingyuntai, summoned Wang Shen, Wang Jing and Wang Ye, and said to them, "Sima Zhao's ambition is known to the pedestrians on the road. I can't wait for the disgrace of being deposed. Today I will personally go out with you to fight against him. " After being dissuaded by Wang Jing, Cao Mao took out the yellow silk edict from his arms and threw it on the ground, saying, "it's already decided. Even if he dies, there's nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that he doesn't have to die!" Then he went into the inner palace and told empress dowager Guo. Wang Shen and Wang Ye ran out to tell Sima Zhao that they wanted Wang Jing to go with them, but Wang Jing couldn't. After that, Cao Mao was killed, and Wang Jing was also killed, but Wang Shen made great contributions and was granted the title of Marquis of Anping with 2000 households. Wang Shen was unfaithful to the Lord and was criticized by the public. (< I > see < / I > < I > Sima Zhao's regicide < / I >)

Take up the post of local government

Soon after, Wang Shenqian became the minister, and took up the post of supervising the various military forces in Yuzhou, general Fenwu, and governor of Yuzhou. After arriving at the town, he immediately ordered the people to say, "since ancient times, sages and sages have been happy to hear criticisms and listen to the public opinions of their servants, because the people who cut grass and collect firewood can be employed in their speeches, and the people who cut firewood can also talk about the way of governing the country. After arriving in the town, I didn't hear harsh words. Maybe I didn't explain my sincerity of accepting opinions with an open mind, so people who want to speak have doubts. It is hereby announced that: if the subordinate city officials and scholars and common people can recommend the wise and intelligent people from the rural civilians, expose the people who repel the treacherous and sycophantic people from all parts of the state, state the advantages and disadvantages of the chief officials, tell the sufferings of the common people, promote the interests and eliminate the evils, and improve the political measures, those with obvious results will be rewarded. If Jinyan is very reasonable in a certain aspect, it can directly point to the gains and losses of the assassin, and make the government flexible, so that those who are just right in politics can appreciate the valley. If I'm worried that I'm not trustworthy, I can swear to kyauguri. "

Chen Guangqin and Chu Xuan, the main books of the book, raised their objection and said, "I'm sorry to read your decree. When it comes to harsh words, we think that there is something good in the upper and nothing wrong in the lower. At present, people around us don't try their best to persuade them, and people far away don't discipline them. In fact, the gains and losses of politics have not yet been revealed. Today, if we issue a decree as a reward, I'm afraid that the prudent and upright people will not speak for fear of being rewarded, and the greedy people will act rashly for profit. If the advice is improper, of course, it can't be rewarded indiscriminately. Then people who don't know the truth don't know whether the advice is appropriate. If they only see the advice but don't use it, they will think that the reward is false and not the advice. I think that the issue of the order can be delayed. "

Wang Shen also warned: "virtue is shallow and status is lofty, merit is slight and salary is heavy. This is what greedy people pursue and what gentlemen are unwilling to accept. If you make a reasonable statement to the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of the governor of! It's loyalty to be able to speak frankly and reasonably; it's benevolence to give favors to the people of a state; and it's honesty to refuse rewards after a great success. It is wise to have these three kinds of behaviors at the same time. Why should the state be confused by the way of governing the country? "

Chu Shen also argued: "the reason why Yao, Shun and Zhou Gong were able to get loyal admonition was that they were frank and honest. Ice and charcoal can't talk. People all know that cold and charcoal are hot, because they have the essence of cold and heat. If politicians like to give honest advice, like ice charcoal, then honest ministers will come to the court, and harsh words will not come from them. If virtue is not enough to compare with Yao and Shun, and wisdom is not enough to compare with Duke Zhou, quality is different from Bing tan. Although there is a heavy reward, we can not get loyal advice. In the past, Wei Jiang had the merit of being good at Rong and Di, and was rewarded by the Jin emperor; Guan Zhong had the merit of making Qi dominate, and Qi Huan had the merit of being treated by the superior minister, and the merit was remarkable, and then he was rewarded. I've never heard that there is a reason for setting up a heavy reward to wait for admonishment officials, and hanging grain silk to get all the words. " Wang Shen could not refute Chu's point of view, so he listened to Chu's opinion.

change existing habits and customs

Wang Shen discussed good governance, sorted out the legal prohibitions and various measures since Jia Kui, and chose the good ones to implement. He also warned the officials and the people, "it is impossible for the young people not to learn from the teachings of the former king, but to expect the political enlightenment to flourish day by day. The combination of culture and martial arts is a long-term way to run a country. Nowadays, the decline of custom education cannot but get rid of its disadvantages. The key to the reform is to set up schools to encourage learning. In the past, Yuan Bolu didn't like learning, so min Ma's father predicted that he would die. If they don't receive education, they will play all day and destroy the customs. " So the people of the nine counties were willing to moralize and change their customs. Later, he moved to be a general of Zhenglu, a chieftain, and a military commander in Jiangbei. After Sima Zhao established the fifth rank, he was granted the title of Bo Ling Marquis, which was equivalent to the second rank.

In the fourth year of Jingyuan (263), Cao Wei sent troops to destroy Shu Han, and Sun Wu sent troops on a large scale. Zhang Shengshi helped Shu, and the border was shocked. Wang Shen had a good command of garrison and dispatch, but the Wu army retreated knowing that he was prepared. Turn to Zhennan general.

Kaijin Yuanxun

In 265, Sima Zhao died. His son, Sima Yan, became the king. He worshipped Wang Shen as the censor, and also served as a minister. Because Wang Shen was talented and promising, he became famous in the world. Therefore, Yang Hu, Xun Xu, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong and others all planned and discussed with Wang Shen about the business of Jin Dynasty.

In the same year, Sima Yan usurped the Wei Dynasty and established the Jin Dynasty. Wang Shen, who had the honor of founding the country, became a general of Hushi, a bookkeeper, and a regular official, commanding all the military affairs outside the city. He was granted the title of Boling county magistrate, but refused to accept it. He was renamed county magistrate. There are 1800 households in Shiyi. Sima Yan intends to entrust the government to him,

In 266, Wang Shen died. Sima Yan wore mourning clothes and gave him a set of coffin court clothes, a set of clothes, 300000 yuan, 100 pieces of cloth and a hectare of burial land. His posthumous title was yuan.

In the second year, Emperor Wu recalled Wang Shen's merits and issued an imperial edict, saying: "praising the past behavior is to respect the sages, set an example for future generations, treat the dead carefully without forgetting the achievements of the predecessors, and then the people will be honest and virtuous, and the education will be prosperous. The late Sanqi Changshi, general Hushi, and King Shen of the Yuan Dynasty in Boling, followed the etiquette and lived upright. He took up the position of being a servant, took charge of the responsibility of herding fangyue, offered his strategy to the imperial court, and xuandewei to the prefectures. After the founding of the state, there was an official rank, who was the first to assume the position of public assistant. He led the important affairs of the court, took the mission of the court, and had the great contribution of guarding and assisting the country. Now I give it to Wang Shen as Duke Sikong, to praise his life and make him immortal. When he was alive, he was granted the title of the Duke of the county because of his assistance. He sincerely resigned and praised his virtue of resignation. He could be sent to the funeral by the Duke of the county without changing his ambition. Wang Shen was plain and thrifty, not engaged in business. They can make five rooms for their soldiers. " Later, Wang Shen's wife Xun died and was ready to be buried together. Seeing that Wang Shen's coffin was decayed, she was given another coffin. During the Xianning period, Wang Shen was granted the title of Duke of the county.

Historical evaluation

Sima Yan: "so Wang Shen, a general of hussars, is loyal, honest and resolute. Outside the Qing Dynasty Fang Xia, inside Xi gunzhi. It is well-known for its position, and its achievements are outstanding. "

The book of Jin states: "Wang Shencai was a scholar of literature and martial arts. He was an early corpse. He was a treasure on the Wei ginseng table. He lived in Jin Dynasty as a strategist. The plan of tonggong was suddenly released, and the disaster of Wuwei was achieved. It's the mouth of knowing Tian Guang, but it's the only one that can do it. " "In daowenlin, hu er's heart?"

Li Ye: "the chance of success or failure lies in breathing. Shen and ye, the two rats, carried the country to assist the thief, because the thief was able to control his poison. He has been deceitful again and again
