In the second year of the Little Emperor's stubborn Eastern Jin Dynasty, Su Jun's rebellion broke out, and the following year the rebels invaded the capital Jiankang, at this time Emperor Sima Yan was only seven years old, and Su Jun moved him to Shicheng. At that time, most of the imperial court secretaries fled to The Servant Zhongzhong Zhongya and the Right Guard general Liu Chao always followed Sima along.
A year later, Su Jun was killed, and the rebel army was unstable, and Zhong Ya and Liu Chaomo fled with the little emperor to join the Qin army. Unexpectedly, the wind leaked, and Su Jun's younger brother Su Yi ordered his henchmen to enter the palace to arrest these two brothers. Sima Yan hugged Chung Ya and Liu Chao and cried and begged Ren to spare his men, but Ren Rang still beheaded them.
Soon after, the end of the rebels came, xianhe in February of the fourth year, the Qin king's army attacked the stone city, the loyal imperial generals found the little emperor Sima Yan, who had been separated for two years, and the group of ministers saw the emperor, suddenly bowed, and cried for guilt, followed by the liquidation of the dependent rebels, which naturally included Ren Rang, who was not willing to be executed.
Finding tao kan, the commander of the Qin Wang army, pleaded to spare his own life, Tao Kan and Ren Rang were originally old acquaintances, so they made personal feelings and asked the little emperor for an extra-legal favor, but he had no idea what Sima Yan had also experienced, and Ren Rang was taken away and killed in front of the little emperor, and it was during that dark time that the little emperor only had two people who could be relied on and trusted, so when he heard this news, Sima Yan, who had never refuted Tao Kan in other matters, replied sharply, that is, he killed my servant and the right position, and he could not let him go, but killed him.
