During Emperor Zhenzong's reign
Orphaned at a young age, Wang Zeng was raised by his paternal uncle. In Emperor Zhenzong's early reign, Wang Zeng scored first in the provincial examination, and first in the subsequent imperial examination. Wang's first assignment was in Ji Prefecture, not far from his hometown, where he served as prefectural supervisor. Returning to the national capital Kaifeng, Wang interviewed at the Institute of Academicians, where he impressed the grand councilor Kou Zhun, who recommended him to interview at the Administration Chamber. Wang was subsequently appointed concurrent posts in the Palace Library (as editorial director), Historiography Institute, and State Finance Commission (as an assistant).
