Wang Yue's courtesy name is Changyu (probably born in Luoyang). He had a good reputation when he was about twenty years old. He not only verbally agreed to serve his parents, but also had a very docile expression. His father, Director Wang, was very fond of him. Director Wang once played games with Wang Yue (note: "fighting" is a term for Liubo, not Go). When the fight on the chessboard got heated, Director Wang smiled and said: "You and I seem to have some kind of relationship, right?" , Are you like this?" Director Wang was of a frugal and self-sufficient nature. The sweet fruits collected under his account were (too many) corrupt, so he had to order them to be discarded, so he told his subordinates: "Don't let Dalang (Wang Yue) know. "When Wang Yue was young, he served as one of the ministers in the East Palace of Ming Emperor Sima Shao. After Sima Shao's death, he served as the second educational officer "you" to Sima Shao's second son Wu Wangyue, and later moved to the minister of Zhongshu in charge of imperial edicts. . He died before Wang Dao. His posthumous title was "Zhen" and he was called "Prince Zhen". Before his death, Director Wang once dreamed that someone wanted to buy Wang Yue from him for one million yuan. He (very worried) secretly prayed to the gods for this, and was very pious and complete in etiquette. Not long ago, there was some groundbreaking at home, and exactly one hundred yuan was dug out. For ten thousand dollars, Director Wang felt very bad and ordered all the dug-out things to be backfilled. When Wang Yue became seriously ill, Director Wang was particularly worried and could not eat for several days. Suddenly I saw a man with a very tall appearance, wearing armor and holding a knife. Director Wang asked: "Who are you?" The other party said: "I am (mountain god of Zhongshan) Jiang Ziwen. I heard that your young master is not doing well recently, and I hope to say a few words to the Emperor of Heaven on his behalf, so I came to you. "Please don't worry anymore." So he asked Director Wang for food and ate several liters. After eating the food, he suddenly said to Director Wang: "Zhongshu (Wang Yue)'s illness is not treatable." After saying this, he disappeared. Wang Yue finally passed away. When Wang Yue talks to his father, he always talks with caution and detail. When Director Wang returned to Shangshutai (for work) and was about to set off, Wang Yue never failed to deliver him to the back of the car. He often packed the things in the dowry boxes for his mother, Cao. After Wang Yue passed away, Director Wang returned to the Chancellor's Desk and cried all the way from the place where Wang Yue usually sent him to the front of the Chancellor's Desk. Mrs. Cao sealed the box of gifts that Wang Yue had packed away and could not bear to reopen it.

Wang Yue had no heirs (it is unclear whether he had a daughter), so he adopted his half-brother Wang Tian's son Wang Kun as his heir.

Wang Kun inherited the title of Duke of Shixing County from Wang Dao, and held the highest position of Danyang Yin. After his death, he was awarded to Taichang Qing. His son Wang Gu inherited the title, married Princess Poyang (the daughter of Emperor Jianwen Sima Yu and Li Lingrong, and the sister of Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao and Sima Daozi), and served as the central leader and minister. His son Wang Hui inherited the title. In the last years of Emperor Yixi of An, he served as a guerrilla general.

Appendix: The situation of our descendants during the Liu and Song Dynasties

After the Jin and Song dynasties, the Duke of Shixing County was demoted to the title of Duke of Shixing County, but this branch was at least Liu Song still maintained his title in the early years of Song Dynasty.

After Princess Poyang entered the Song Dynasty, she was granted the title of Lord Yongcheng. The wife of Wang Hui's younger brother Wang Yan was Liu Yu's second daughter, Liu Rongrong, who had a fierce temperament; her queen was named Empress Xiaowu of the Liu Song Dynasty, but her husband Liu Jun acted very unreliable in the later period, and his two sons (Liu Ziye and Liu Zishang) were older than one. The daughter (Liu Chuyu) was a rare naughty child, so much so that she died of anger when she was seriously ill, and the second half of her life was also quite tragic. Wang Gu's younger brother Wang Dan was one of Liu Yu's early important staff. Related stories are compared with the version of "Book of Jin"

Most of Wang Yue's stories collected in "Book of Jin" are related to the novels of the Six Dynasties. However, when analyzing the details, differences can still be seen. In general, the version collected in "Book of Jin" seems to be more beneficial to Director Wang's image; the version in "Shishuoxinyu" objectively makes Wang Yue's image more perfect. It is already difficult for people to decide which one is right and which one is wrong, but the comparison makes it more interesting and may also make the readers a little more happy. "Shishuo Xinyu" No. 16 of "Paidiao" Gate:

Wang Changyu made peace with him when he was young, and the Prime Minister loved him very deeply. Every day, the prime minister wanted to play Go, but Chang Yu pressed his finger and refused to listen. The prime minister said: "Zhen Deer? There seems to be a connection between the two."

This is the widely circulated version of "the father wants to regret the chess, but the son opposes it". Please note: In this version, 1) the incident may have happened during Wang Yue’s childhood; 2) the father-son game was Go, not Liubo, which may be the predecessor of chess.

The "fighting" for gambling is a very intense stage. For example, "Historical Records" Volume 106 "Biography of Wu Wangbi":

During the time of Xiaowen, Prince Wu came to see him and had to serve the crown prince for a drink. Prince Wu's masters were both from Chu, strong, arrogant, knowledgeable, quarrelsome, and disrespectful. The Crown Prince used the Bo game (Liu Bo chessboard) to lift (throw) Prince Wu and kill him. So he was sent to the funeral home for burial.

Historically, gambling that has developed to the "fighting" stage, if not handled well, will lead to disputes and even murders. This incident, as recorded in "Historical Records", actually indirectly led to the occurrence of the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" in Wu and Chu.

You can imagine the differences between the two versions of Wang Yue. According to the version of "Shishuoxinyu", Director Wang wanted to regret his move, or to put it more seriously, breaking the rules, but Wang Yue seriously stopped him. According to the version of "Book of Jin", Wang Yue showed murderous intent, while Director Wang was jokingly begging to be spared. "Shishuo Xinyu" The Seventh Gate of "Frugality"

Prime Minister Wang is frugal, and his tent is full of sweet fruits. When Shechun was defeated, the governor blamed it and ordered it to be thrown away, saying: "Be careful not to let Da Lang know about it."

The real focus of this version of the madness is:

Most of the fruits of plants They all mature in summer and autumn, especially in autumn. However, this batch of sweet fruits "rotted due to spring", which shows that the storage time is longer than usual, and there is no thought that they can be distributed to others or relatives and friends. So in this version, Wang Yue (who would have remonstrated with his father if he knew about it) has more solid reasons. "Afterwords of Searching for the Gods" Volume 5

Wang Dao Ziyue is the scholar in the book, the dream guide buys him with millions of money, and the guide Qian prepares it for those who pray. Digging in the ground, you can get millions of dollars, but your intentions are very evil, and you can hide everything behind closed doors. When the joy and illness are deep, the worries and thoughts come at the same time, and the days go by without food. Suddenly I saw a man, very tall in shape, wearing armor and holding a sword. When asked who it was, he said: "Servant, you are the Marquis of Jiang. My son is not doing well and wants to be a prostitute, so I am here. Don't worry about me anymore." The guide gave him food, and then he got several liters. After eating, he said to the guide angrily: "Zhongshu's life is over and there is no way he can be saved." After saying this, he disappeared. Yue also died.

Basically consistent with what is stated in "Book of Jin". Chapter 29 of "Virtue" in "Shishuo Xinyu"

Wang Changyu is an obedient person, and he treats his relatives with the utmost filial piety. The prime minister is always happy when he sees Chang Yu, and he is always angry when he sees respectful Yu. When Chang Yu spoke to the Prime Minister, he always spoke with caution. When the prime minister returned to the stage, he was escorted to the back of the car as soon as he left. Heng and Mrs. Cao used the box together. After Chang Yu's death, the Prime Minister returned to the stage. After boarding his carriage, he cried to the stage gate. Mrs. Cao made a warning and sealed it but could not bear to open it.
