After the former Qin Dynasty defeated Fujian, it stationed troops on the dam. Wang Meng came to Huan Wen camp in a linen coat. In public, Wang Meng caught lice and talked about the world when no one was watching, which is a story in history. When Huan Wen retreated to Guanzhong, he invited Wang Meng to go south many times, and promised him a high official and generous salary. Wang Meng saw that the contradiction in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was complicated, and Huan Wen had no ambition to go north to settle in the Central Plains, so he refused the invitation.

Wang Meng was appointed assistant minister of Zhongshu by Fu Jian and promoted to Zuo Cheng, Xianyang Shi and Jing. Use criminal law to suppress powerful people and weaken aristocratic forces.

Wang Meng was promoted from Zuo Cheng, a senior official, to Zuo Fushe, a general of the auxiliary country, and an official minister. In the first year of Taihe (366), Wang Meng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty led the troops to attack Jingzhou, crusaded against the leaders of the Qiang rebellion, cooled Zhang Tianxi before the war, and put down the rebellion of the former Qin imperial clan. He was named the marquis of Qinghe, commander-in-chief of the six countries in Kanto, general of chariots and horses, and animal husbandry in Jizhou, guarding Yecheng. After returning to Beijing, he was appointed as Prime Minister, Book Supervisor, Shangshuling, Taifu and Li Si Taiwei, and was granted the power to adjudicate military affairs. Wang Meng handled state affairs in an orderly way, and the former Qin dynasty showed a situation of sending troops to strengthen the country and become rich. In July of the third year of Kangning (375), when Wang Meng was dying, he left Fu Jian's last words "Don't take Jin as a map". Later, Fu Jian refused to accept Wang Meng's words, and rose up in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the eighth year of Taiyuan (383), which led to the collapse of the Battle of Feishui.

He is a sage, who is called a "first-rate leader" by The General History of China. Bai Yang, a historian in Taiwan Province Province, believes that Wang Meng's civil and military skills are above Zhuge Liang.
