Wang Dao, Zi Maohong, small character Aaron, ancestral home of Langyue Linyi.
Wang Dao served the three dynasties of Emperor Yuan of Jin, Emperor Ming of Jin, and Emperor Cheng of Jin, and was friends with Sima Yan, emperor of JinWu in his early years.
Sima Yan claimed the title of empress dowager, reused Wang Dao, and successively held the official positions of Grand General of the Hussars, Yi Tong Sansi, Shizhong (侍中), Sikong (司空), and Lingzhong Shu (領中書監), and was given the title of Marquis of Wugang.
Wang Dao and his cousin the great general Wang Dun were one person inside and one person outside, forming a situation of "the king and the horse, sharing the world".
As the founding father of the country and a heavyweight minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao was ambitious and powerful.
Incredibly, this big man who stands tall in the sky is afraid of his wife, and seeing His Wife Cao Shu is like a mouse seeing a cat.
Wang Dao's wife, Cao Shu, was jealous of Qiu Qiu and often suspected her husband, and strictly forbade her husband Wang Dao to take concubines and get close to her maids.
Sometimes even the male servants around Wang Dao were investigated, and if they found a small man with fresh meat, they would be strictly interrogated.
In the long run, Wang Dao's heart was exhausted and he couldn't bear it.
Wang Dao did not dare to take concubines at home, so he quietly built some mansions outside, "the concubines were listed, and the children were in line", took a lot of concubines, and gave birth to a large number of children.
The Book of Jealousy records:
One day, Madame Cao saw in the distance on the Qingshu platform that there were several children who were white and cute, riding sheep past, "very pitiful."
So he asked the maid next to him, "You go and ask, whose children are these?" ”
The maid came back and said, "This is the fourth son, the fifth son, and so on of our family." ”
Lady Cao was greatly shocked, and then jealous, so angry that she could not bear it, sent Huang men and twenty maids, armed with kitchen knives, to settle accounts with the enemy gang.
When Wang Dao heard the news, he was afraid that the tigress would threaten and hurt his own beautiful women who were like flowers and jade, so he hurriedly ordered his men to prepare a car, worried that they would not be able to catch up with the lady when they were late, and urged the driver to drive the ox cart all the way.
Wang Dao was so anxious that he used the tail handle of the crane [zhǔ] (a kind of prop similar to dust) to help the driver beat the cow, the tail handle was too short, the rudder was too long, could not reach the old cow, the old king was very embarrassed, watching the lively melon eating crowd could not help laughing.
Wang Dao chased after the gang and returned to the outer mansion before Madame.
A family crisis was resolved.
Situ Cai Mo heard about this and said to Wang Dao, "The imperial court intends to add nine tin to you, don't you know it yet?" ”
Wang Dao did not know that he was deceitful, and he even humbled himself.
Cai Mo said slowly, "Add nine tin to you, I heard that there are no other gifts, only a short ox cart and a long-handled tail!" ”
Lao Wang blushed and sneered, "When I was playing in Luoyang with many virtuous people, no one knew what the son of Cai Ke (Cai Mo's father) had. ”
Cai Mo smiled, "It doesn't matter if you recognize me or not, you should hurry home and accompany your Lei Shangshu!" ”
Wang Dao's concubine Lei Shi liked to interfere in politics and often accepted bribes from officials, and Cai Mo jokingly called Lei Shi "Lei Shangshu".
Lao Wang didn't hear it well, which involved his own reputation as a ruler, and he quickly slipped away.
