皇甫规 / Huangfu Gui (late Han)

Overview

皇甫规 / Huangfu Gui is a late-Han frontier official whose current wiki profile is source-bounded to Hanji 875. The episode places him in the first Party Prohibition reputation field as a western-region notable and Duliao general who regards exclusion from imprisonment as shameful because the prisoners are famous worthy men.

Current Profile

Huangfu Gui’s current profile is narrow but useful. He does not appear here as a campaign commander in detail; he appears as an actor who reads Party Prohibition punishment as evidence of moral belonging. In Hanji 875, he self-reports by saying that he had recommended Zhang Huan and that Taixue students had defended him, so if those networks are criminal, he should also be liable.

The court does not pursue him, which matters as much as the self-report. The source shows that repression can invert ordinary incentive: punishment may become a credential for belonging to the moral community, while non-punishment can feel like exclusion from recognized名节.

Key Characteristics

• Late-Han frontier official identified in the source as Duliao general and western-region notable.
• Treats not being imprisoned in the Party Prohibition case as shame rather than safety.
• Self-reports association with party figures through recommendation and student-defense ties.
• Functions as an early example of punishment becoming moral credential under captured politics.
• Remains source-bounded; the current wiki does not reconstruct his full frontier career.

Evidence

• Office and reputation setting: Hanji 875 presents Huangfu Gui as a Duliao general and western-region notable during the first Party Prohibition field.
• Shame at exclusion: Hanji 875 says he feels ashamed because famous worthy men are imprisoned while he has not been arrested.
• Self-reported links: Hanji 875 says he writes that recommending Zhang Huan and being defended by Taixue students should make him liable if those ties count as party association.
• Court non-pursuit: Hanji 875 says the court receives the memorial but does not question him, showing the limit of his voluntary exposure in this source.
• Moral-credential role: Hanji 875 uses his behavior to frame imprisonment as a sign of moral alignment rather than only coercion.

Qualifications

Hanji 875 is brief and does not provide Huangfu Gui’s complete offices, campaigns, or later career. Earlier wiki source notes mention Huangfu Gui source-scopedly beside Zhang Huan in frontier-policy contrasts, but this page only makes canonical claims from the current source’s explicit episode account. The transcript renders him as “黄福贵”; this page normalizes to 皇甫规 because the Duliao-general and late-Han Party Prohibition context match the established historical actor.

What Changed

• Created a source-bounded Huangfu Gui page from Hanji 875’s Party Prohibition self-report case.
• The page records punishment-as-honor logic without expanding into a full biography.

Relationships

• 受罚作为名节凭据 - concept exemplified by Huangfu Gui’s shame at not being imprisoned.
• 李膺 - famous Party Prohibition figure whose imprisonment defines the honor field around Huangfu Gui.
• 杜密 - fellow renowned士人 in the same first Party Prohibition reputation field.
• 张奂 - officer whom Huangfu Gui says he recommended, making recommendation ties part of his self-report.
• 太学 - student institution whose defense of Huangfu Gui becomes part of his claimed liability.
• 朋党网络谋反化 - later accusation frame that makes reputation and recommendation ties politically dangerous.
