Yuan Yong
Yuan Yong (元雍) (died May 17, 528), né
Tuoba Yong (拓拔雍),
courtesy name Simu (思穆), formally
Prince Wenmu of Gaoyang (高陽文穆王), was an imperial prince of the
Xianbei-led Chinese
Northern Wei dynasty. He was very powerful during the reign of his grandnephew
Emperor Xiaoming, and by corrupt means grew very rich. This, however, drew resentment from the populace, and after Emperor Xiaoming's death in 528 and the subsequent overthrowing of Emperor Xiaoming's mother
Empress Dowager Hu by the general
Erzhu Rong, Erzhu had him and over 2,000 other officials slaughtered at Heyin (河陰, in modern
Luoyang,
Henan).
