张忠 / Zhang Zhong (Western Han)

Overview

张忠 / Zhang Zhong enters the wiki through Hanji 511 as the Yushi Dafu who impeaches 王尊 for cruelty and arrogance.

Current Profile

Zhang Zhong’s role in the episode is institutional rather than biographical. His memorial has enough force to remove Wang Zun, but the source immediately complicates it through 公乘兴’s counter-memorial, which says the accusation rested on 杨辅’s private resentment.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han Yushi Dafu in Hanji 511.
• Impeaches Wang Zun as cruel and arrogant.
• Becomes the formal official channel through which a possibly private accusation enters state judgment.

Evidence

• Impeachment role: Hanji 511 says Zhang Zhong submits the impeachment that causes Wang Zun to lose office.
• Procedural ambiguity: Hanji 511 says Gongcheng Xing later argues that the charges came from Yang Fu’s private grievance.
