The Left Guard Commander and Yang Yanzong's superior. He is in his early forties with slightly dark skin and sharp eagle-like eyes. He is the emperor's confidant, has been in power for a long time, and is clearly aware of the secret knife incident. He treats Yang Yanzong with cold condescension, more like an outsider than a subordinate. Their first private meeting is filled with veiled threats and lasts less than ten minutes. He accompanies Imperial Uncle Kun to the river for the salvage operation.
