Liu He, the king of Changyi, is greedy for wine and lust, likes hunting and doesn't ask about politics. As a result, people are overworked and complain a lot. Wang Ji tried to remonstrate, but it was not adopted.

After Zhao Han's death, General Huo Guang came to power and Liu He was made emperor. Wang Ji once again advised Liu He to be respectful and diligent, but he was still rejected. Liu He was deposed for adultery after only 27 days in office. When he was the king of Changyi, most of his courtiers were executed or imprisoned by Julian. Only Wang Ji and Gong Sui, the doctor, were saved from death by repeated remonstrance.

When Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di proclaimed himself emperor, Wang Ji was hired as a doctor to advise the doctor. He suggested that Xuan Di should select talents on merit and abolish the shadow attack system. Only by advocating thrift and cherishing financial resources can we rectify official management, be honest and clean, and make the country rich and strong.

He was the first person in China who advocated late marriage. In the chapter "Politics of Xuan Di Liu Xun", he wrote: "Husband and wife are the outline of human relations and the seeds of early death. Secular marriage is too early to know how to be a parent and have a son. It is because education is unclear. " The purpose of Wang Ji's advocating late marriage is to achieve "immortality" and "enlightenment", that is, "prenatal and postnatal care".
