Also known as Miao Guojiu, he holds the rank of third-rank Jinzi Guanglu Dafu and is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Miao Taihou. He is at odds with the Yan Prince's faction. He has a short stubble beard, drooping skin around his eyes, and deep lines around his mouth even when not speaking. His eyes were bloodshot with dark circles, showing his distressed and angry state. He is vindictive and accuses Shen Que of attempting to assassinate him at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, having his attendants arrest Shen Que and take him to prison. He overturns the offering tower and silver coins in anger. He is desperately trying to rescue his only heir Miao Chunyu after the verdict was changed from execution to exile.
