珙 Gǒng

Gong, Prince of Feng, after being enfeoffed, was General-in-Chief of the Left Guard. When the Emperor reached Pu'an, he appointed Gong Area Commander-in-chief of Wuwei and Grand Military Commissioner of Hexi, Longyou, Anxi and Beiting, with Deng Jingshan, Governor of Longxi Commandery, as his deputy, but Gong did not go. At the start of Guangde, when the Tibetans entered the capital and Daizong went to Shan, the general Wang Huaizhong shut the gates of the imperial park and with five hundred horsemen seized the princes, taking them west to welcome the invaders. They met Guo Ziyi, and Huaizhong said: "His Majesty has moved east, and the ancestral temple and the altars of the state have no master. Now I am taking the princes west, so that the realm may have someone to place its hopes in. You are the Grand Marshal; it is for you to depose and set up as you will." Before Ziyi could answer, Gong said, "What do you say?" The Marshal Wang Yanchang rebuked Gong: "Although His Majesty has been driven from his capital, he has not lost his virtue. You, Prince, are a bulwark of the state; how can you speak such wild and treasonous words?" Ziyi too reproached him, and at once escorted them to where the Emperor was staying. The Emperor pardoned him and did not punish him. But Gong's words were insolent, and the officials, fearing he would cause trouble, asked that he be got rid of, and so he was ordered to take his own life. His son Tiao was Prince of Qi'an. Edit
