五鹿充宗 / Wulu Chongzong (Western Han)

Overview

五鹿充宗 / Wulu Chongzong enters the wiki through Hanji 488 as one of the favored figures 京房 sees as aligned with 石显 and opposed to kaogong assessment.

Current Profile

The episode uses Wulu Chongzong as part of Jing Fang’s diagnosis of the Yuan-era court. He is not developed as an independent actor in the execution sequence, but his name helps define the protected interest field that makes performance assessment dangerous: people close to power have reason to resist a method that could evaluate and expose them.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han favored court figure in Jing Fang’s critique.
• Appears as part of the Shi Xian-aligned interest field.
• Helps show that kaogong reform threatens a network, not only one opponent.

Evidence

• Interest-field role: Hanji 488 says Jing Fang believes Shi Xian and Wulu Chongzong have held favor for years and do not want kaogong implemented.
