Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, Wang Qi father and son destroyed five, the State of Qi fell without a fight, Wang Qi's grandson Wang Li was defeated by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu and captured, life and death do not know, Wang Li had a son Wang Yuan, escaped the chaos of the war and came to Langya, and later gradually developed into a powerful family, Langya Wang clan, Sima Rui from the King of Langya to the emperor to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, mainly relying on the strength of the Langya Wang clan, Wang Dun and Wang Dao two brothers made a great force, Wang Dun outside the lord, commanded the army, Wang Dao lord inside, handling political affairs, there was a folk proverb at that time: Wang and Ma, The world is together. Wang refers to the Wang clan of Langya, and Ma refers to Sima (司馬), which means that the power of the Wang family is strong, especially Wang Dun, who began to be arrogant after gaining power.

Sima Rui was not willing to be controlled by the strong ministers, and reused Liu Kui, Dai Yuan, Diao Xie and other henchmen to try to suppress the Wang clan, and Wang Dun was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but because of the existence of the two people, he did not dare to take action.

One is weekly visits. When the thief Kou Du Zeng was first attacked, because Du Zeng's power was very large, Wang Dun promised to suppress Du Zeng's grant of Jingzhou Thorn History, but after Zhou Visit defeated Du Zeng, Wang Dun regretted it and sent his cousin Wang Du to serve as the Assassin of Jingzhou, Zhou Guan was greatly dissatisfied, Sima Rui learned of this, and appointed Wang Du to enter the palace as a regular attendant of the Scattered Horse, and let Zhou Visit serve as the Assassin of Jingzhou, Wang Dun disagreed, saying: "Liang Prefecture is a military stronghold, and Zhou Guan should be allowed to serve as the Assassin of Liang Prefecture. ”

Sima Rui had no choice but to obey Wang Dun, who, because he was afraid that Zhou Yu had an army, sent him a large number of jewelry and jade to appease him, and Zhou Guan threw all the jewels and jade on the ground and scolded: "I am a general, not a businessman, and I want these useless things to do even more!" ”

Because Wang Dun had previously demoted his own relative Tao Kan to the history of the Guangzhou Assassins, Zhou Guan accumulated resentment and secretly trained the army, but unfortunately fell seriously ill and died in the middle.

The other is Zu Ti, Zu Ti repeatedly defeated Shi Le's army, plundered Hou Zhao's territory, sharp, because Zu Ti's ancestral home is in Hebei, Shi Le sent people to repair the tombs of Zu Ti's father and grandfather, and specially sent people to guard them, in order to curry favor with Zu Ti, and more trade with Zu Ti, Zu Ti deliberately collected ten times more benefits, Shi Le was not angry, and also killed the traitors who went to Hou Zhao to surrender under Zu Ti's men, and gave the heads to Zu Ti.

However, Sima Rui did not reuse such talents, and he sent Liu Kui as the general of Zhenbei, zhenshou Huaiyin, and Dai Yuan as the general of Zhenxi, commanding Zu Ti's troops, ostensibly to fight against the Hu people, but in fact to guard against Wang Dun.

Zu Ti worked hard to recover Henan and attacked Shi Le, but suddenly sent Dai Yuan, a man with no talent, to lead him, zu Ti was extremely upset in his heart, and when he learned that it was caused by the struggle between the imperial power and the powerful courtiers, he said indignantly: "The great cause has not yet been accomplished, but there is a internal struggle and a secret struggle, and how to wash away the shame suffered by the country!" "My heart was so depressed that I fell ill and died soon after.

After the deaths of Zhou And Zu Ti, Wang Dun had no scruples, so he rebelled, under the banner of the Qing Emperor,and accused Liu Kui of framing loyal subjects, paying heavy taxes, and endangering the government.

Wang Dun raised his army, the most worried is Wang Dao, Wang Dao is dedicated to the government, he and more than twenty family members kneel at the palace gate every day to ask the emperor to punish the crime, the official Lang Zhongzhou Yan, zi Boren, into the palace to see, passing by the kneeling Wang Dao family, Wang Dao shouted: "Bo Ren, the emperor is in a good mood today, please say two good words for these innocent lives of my family." ”

Zhou Boren ignored him and entered the palace, Sima Rui was full of sorrow and was drinking, Zhou Boren said: "Your Majesty, everyone in this dynasty knows that Wang Dao is loyal to the country and does not go all the way with Wang Dun. ”

Sima Rui listened to Zhou Boren's words and drank with him, Zhou Boren was good at wine, drunk before going out, Wang Dao shouted at him again, Zhou Boren still ignored him, went straight away, and after returning, he wrote a song to explain Wang Dao's loyalty, but Wang Dao did not know.

Sima Rui saw the song and summoned Wang Dao, who threw his head out of the blood and said, "The subordinate family has a traitor, the subject has an unshirkable responsibility, he is willing to accept the death penalty, and he only hopes that His Majesty will be gracious and spare the subject's family." ”

Sima Rui personally lifted Wang Dao up and said, "What does Wang Dun's fault have to do with you?" ”

Wang Dun's army suppressed the border and easily conquered the stone city, everyone in the DPRK and China endangered themselves, scrambling for their lives, Liu Kui and Diao Xie could not resist Wang Dun, entered the palace to plead guilty, Sima Rui divided the two horses around him to the two, and said: "Everyone has fled, you should also run for your lives." ”

Liu Kui and Diao Xie refused to accept it and wanted to join Sima Rui, who said, "If you don't leave again, you will disobey the king's orders." ”

Diao Xie and Liu Kui had no way, got on their horses and left, Diao Xie, because he was old, could not stand the bumps of riding horses, and was killed by Wang Dun's army halfway through, Liu Kui fled all the way to Hou Zhao, Shi Le used him very much, Liu Kui served in Hou Zhao, and finally died.

Wang Dun took control of the capital and forcibly ordered Sima Rui to write an edict and make him the Grand Sima (大司馬), and Sima Rui had no rights in his hands ever since.

Because Zhou Boren and Dai Yuan were very prestigious in the court, Wang Dun's subordinates persuaded Wang Dun to kill the two, and Wang Dun asked Wang Dao, who was close to him: "Zhou Boren and Dai Yuan are outstanding, should they be made the Third Duke, right?" ”

Wang Dao did not speak, and Wang Dun asked again: "Then be a Shang Shu Ling, how?" ”

Wang Dao still did not speak, and Wang Dun said, "Then simply kill." ”

Wang Dao still did not speak.

Wang Dun tied up Zhou Boren and Dai Yuan and took them to the south gate of the city to be killed, and when passing the Taimiao Temple, Zhou Boren shouted loudly: "Thief Wang Dun, subvert the country, unjustly kill the xianchen, heaven will not tolerate it!" ”

The soldier next to him slashed Zhou Boren's mouth with his sword, and the blood flowed, and Zhou Boren could no longer open his mouth, and was killed outside the south gate of the city with Dai Yuan.

After a long time, Wang Dao accidentally saw the letter that Zhou Boren defended him, and Wang Dao understood it, and cried bitterly: "I thought that Zhou Boren was cold and unwilling to help me, so I didn't speak for him, I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me, and my strength was so small that I really read the sages in vain!" ”​​​
