琬 Wǎn

Wan, the Crown Prince Jinggong, was first made Prince of Juan and then moved to Prince of Rong. He was Governor of Jingzhao and held the post of Grand Military Commissioner of Longyou. He was also ordered by edict to tour and inspect Longyou in person, and to pick fifty thousand flying cavalry of Guannei and Hedong to guard against the raids of high autumn. In due course he was also Grand Area Commander-in-chief of Chanyu and Anbei. When An Lushan rebelled, an edict made Wan Grand Marshal of the punitive campaign, to recruit troops from He and Long and station them at Shan, with Gao Xianzhi as his deputy, but he died just then. Wan had a fine, upright bearing and a long-standing good name, and men in and out of court relied on him. When he died, there was no one who did not grieve for the state's loss. By edict he was given further posthumous honors and a posthumous name. Wan had fifty-eight sons and daughters. Three of the sons became princes: Fu, Prince of Jiyin Commandery; Xie, Prince of Beiping; and Qian, Prince of Chenliu. Yuan was Chief Minister of the Court of the Imperial Regalia, Tui was Director of the Palace Library, and Pei was Chief Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial. Edit
