于永 / Yu Yong (Western Han)

Overview

于永 / Yu Yong enters the wiki through Hanji 524 as a Western Han official promoted under 汉成帝 to Yushi Dafu after earlier service as Guanglu Xun.

Current Profile

The episode frames Yu Yong through inherited status and later self-cultivation. He is the son of 于定国, begins as a young man associated with drinking and mistakes, then changes after age thirty and builds a reputation for conduct. His offices include palace and military-adjacent posts such as shizhong, zhonglangjiang, changshui xiaowei, sanqi, Guanglu Xun, and Yushi Dafu.

His profile is also kinship-linked. He inherits a marquisate and marries Princess Guantao Liu Shi, Han Xuan’s eldest daughter and Chengdi’s aunt. The source ends his arc with missed elevation: Chengdi is preparing to make him chancellor when Yu Yong dies.
