王圣 / Wang Sheng (late Han palace actor)

Overview

王圣 / Wang Sheng now appears as Emperor An’s wet nurse whose palace relationship becomes a repeated public-order problem. Hanji 794 makes her fear of An’s replacement a driver of anti-Deng slander; Hanji 795-799 then show Yang Zhen attacking her palace access, title field, Bo Rong traffic, and mansion privilege; Hanji 802 records her later exile during Yan Xian’s cleanup.

Current Profile

Hanji 794 supplies Wang Sheng’s earliest current layer. As the wet nurse close to An, she fears that Empress Dowager Deng may depose him after delaying return of power and favoring Pingyuan Wang Liu Yi. Wang Sheng, Li Run, and Jiang Jing are named as slandering Deng around this fear, making her an active shaper of An’s succession insecurity before her later reward controversies.

Hanji 795 shifts from slander to access correction. In the immediate post-Deng field, Yang Zhen argues that Wang Sheng has already been overrewarded for nursing An, is using her position without restraint, and should be removed from palace proximity. The same memorial ties her daughter Bo Rong to request traffic and bribe transmission.

Hanji 796 adds the title-order layer. An enfeoffs Wang Sheng as Yewang Jun, Bo Rong is presented as favored near An, and Bo Rong’s marriage to Liu Gui helps make Liu Gui’s shizhong office and Shaoyang marquisate succession politically controversial. Hanji 799 then gives the mansion layer: An orders a large house for Wang Sheng despite disaster, poverty, frontier war, and an empty treasury, and Yang folds that expense into a broader critique of favorite solicitation and corrupt appointments.

Hanji 802 records the reversal. After the Yan-backed accession of Beixiang Hou, Wang Sheng is grouped with Geng Bao, Fan Feng, Xie Yun, Zhou Guang, and others in the old An-era network targeted by the new settlement. Fan Feng, Xie Yun, and Zhou Guang are executed, while Wang Sheng and her son are exiled.

Evidence

• Replacement-fear slander: Hanji 794 says Wang Sheng fears An may be deposed and slanders Empress Dowager Deng with Li Run and Jiang Jing.
• Palace-removal warning: Hanji 795 says Yang Zhen asks Emperor An to send Wang Sheng out of the palace because her nursing reward has become unchecked access and overreach.
• Enfeoffment and household field: Hanji 796 says Emperor An enfeoffs Wang Sheng as Yewang Jun and places Bo Rong in the background of Liu Gui’s disputed title path.

Qualifications

This page is bounded to Hanji 802, Hanji 799, Hanji 796, Hanji 795, and Hanji 794. It does not settle Wang Sheng’s full office status, son identity, household structure, personal decision-making, or the legal truth of later accusations. Hanji 794 supports her slander role and fear but does not prove the actual Deng replacement plot. The route uses WangShengPalaceActorLateHan to avoid collision with 王胜利, and the body normalizes transcript variants around 王胜/王圣 for the late-Han context.

What Changed

• Reframed Hanji 795’s palace-removal warning as a response to an already active palace-security actor.
• Preserved Hanji 796 and Hanji 799 as escalation from access to title order and mansion privilege.
• Preserved Hanji 802’s exile as the cleanup of an old An-era palace network.
