晉高祖入立，罷職為郎中，歷司封左司郎中、諫議大夫。 When Shi Jingtang took the throne he was reduced to attendant; he served in succession as attendant of the directorate of the imperial clan, left attendant of the left secretariat, and remonstrance official.

仁裕性曉音律，晉高祖初定雅樂，宴群臣於永福殿，奏黃鐘，仁裕聞之曰：「音不純肅而無和聲，當有爭者起於禁中。」 Renyu had a keen ear for music; when Shi Jingtang first fixed the court music and feasted his ministers at Yongfu Hall, the yellow bell pitch was played; Renyu said, "The tone is impure and lacks harmony—strife will arise within the palace."
