公孙勇 / Gongsun Yong (Western Han)

Overview

公孙勇 / Gongsun Yong enters the wiki through Hanji 388-2 as a failed rebel who tries to impersonate or exploit 绣衣使者 authority.

Current Profile

The source does not provide a full biography. Gongsun Yong matters as an imposture case: he appears in绣衣 clothing and four-horse display, trying to make local officials treat him as an emperor-backed special envoy. His plot fails when alert local officials recognize the performance as false and stop the movement before it becomes a larger rebellion.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han rebel figure in the episode’s late-Han-Wudi sequence.
• Uses the prestige of绣衣 authority as a tool of deception.
• Depends on local fear of imperial envoys rather than on an already-secure military base.
• Is stopped at an early stage by local verification.

Evidence

• Imposture strategy: Hanji 388-2 says Gongsun Yong appears in绣衣 and attempts rebellion.
• Local interruption: Hanji 388-2 says officials including Wei Buhai recognize the imposture and control the plot.
• Institutional meaning: Hanji 388-2 uses the case to explain the fear created by绣衣使者.
