Friends who have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" probably know the character of Wang Situ. It is said that during zhuge liang's first northern expedition, Situ Wang Lang followed the governor Cao Zhen to resist. Before the two armies, there was a "war of words" between Zhuge Liang and Wang Lang, and as a result, Wang Situ was refuted by Zhuge Liang, and he fell off his horse and died in anger, so he was called "Marquis wuxiang cursed Wang Lang to death". In fact, there is no such thing in history, so what kind of person is Situ Wang Lang?
Wang Langzi Jingxing was a native of Tan County, Donghai, who was an official because of his proficiency in scriptures, and was trained by Yang Ci, a lieutenant. After Yang Ci's death, Wang Lang abandoned his official post to serve his teacher. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian worshiped Wang Lang as a ruler, and later the imperial court surrendered and crowned Wang Lang as the Taishou of Huiji. However, not long after, Sun Ce led his army across the river, and Wang Lang was defeated and captured, but he was not harmed. Cao Cao recruited Wang Lang into the dynasty in the name of Emperor Xian of Han, and Wang Lang came to Xuchang to "consult with the Doctor and participate in the Sikong military".
In 213, Emperor Xian of Han "crowned" Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, and Cao Cao made Wang Lang concurrently lead the Wei Commandery Taishou as a military priest. After that, Wang Lang successively served as Shaofu, Fengchang, and Dali, responsible for managing the prison, "in order to forgive, and the suspicion of guilt is light." Cao Pi was proclaimed empress dowager, and Wang Lang was given the title of Marquis of Sikong and Leping. In 227, When Emperor Ming of Wei ascended the throne, Wang Lang was given the title of "Marquis of Lanling, Five Hundred, and Two Hundred Households", and was transferred to Situ.
What kind of official is Situ? Originally from the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the minister was changed to the Great Situ, and since then the Great Situ, the Great Sima and the Great Sikong have become the Three Dukes, and they are the highest-ranking officials in the imperial court. Wang Lang lived through the three dynasties of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, and successively served as Sikong and Situ, and was one of the important ministers of the Cao Wei regime, with a high position of authority. Although Wang Lang died in 228, he did not go out with the army, but died of illness.
Wang Lang's life seems to be very plain, but in fact, he can be called a big winner in the Three Kingdoms period. First of all, Wang Lang was a polymath and a well-known scribe at that time, authoring "Zhou Yi Biography", "Spring and Autumn Biography", "Filial Piety Classic", "Zhou Guan Biography", and his son Wang Su pioneered "Wang Xue", which profoundly influenced the academic atmosphere at that time. Cao Zhi, who was only eight buckets high, admired Wang Lang very much, "Ying Discernment Botong, see Chuan Yiqing; Deshi is stuffed inside, and knowledge is vertical and horizontal; solve doubts and release stagnation, dissect and dissect the interrogators, Wang Situye." ”
In addition to his academic achievements, Wang Lang's reputation is also very high, "the same name zhongzhou, the emperor of the sea". Wang Lang's son Wang Su (王蘇) was also a great Confucian at that time, and he was the leader of the official Zhizhong and a regular attendant. Wang Su's sons also mixed well, Wang Gongguan to Henan Yin and Shizhong; Wang Qian served as Shangshu; Wang Kai and Wang Longdu officials to the later generals, all the way to the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Wang family capital Official Yun Hengtong was a famous and prestigious family at that time.
More importantly, Situ Wang Lang's great-grandson became emperor, ending the chaos of the Three Kingdoms and reuniting the world, he was Sima Yan. It turned out that Sima Yan's mother was named Wang Yuanji, and Wang Yuanji's was Wang Lang's granddaughter. Sima Zhao and Wang Yuanji gave birth to Sima Yan, the Emperor wu of Jin. When Wang Yuanji was nine years old, she was responsible for managing the affairs of the family, and Wang Lang liked his granddaughter very much, and he asserted, "Those who rejuvenate my family, they must also be women, and it is a pity that they are not men!" ”
