Appears in 5 chapters:
  • Chapter 85 — The First Ruler Confides His Son To A Guardian; The Prime Minister Calmly Settles Five Attacks.
    Sent with Du Qiong to force the Prime Minister's gate — refused — and the cooler head who keeps the Empress Dowager from storming there herself.
  • Chapter 91 — Sacrificing At River Lu, The Prime Minister Marches Homeward; Attacking Wei, The Lord Of Wuxiang Presents A Memorial.
    One of the three High Ministers the Memorial singles out as 'honest men, devotedly anxious to be loyal to the last degree', chosen by the First Ruler's own testament; Zhuge Liang tells Liu Shan to consult him on all Palace matters great or small before acting. Left with Guo Youzhi and Fei Yi to attend to the Palace in his absence.
  • Chapter 105 — The Lord of Wuxiang Leaves A Plan In The Silken Bag; The Ruler of Wei Removes The Bronze Statue With The Dew Bowl.
    Gives the court its reading of Wei Yan - 'His mouth was full of hate and resentment, and only fear of the late Prime Minister held him in check. The Prime Minister's death gave him his opportunity' - and is then sent with the ensigns of authority to mediate and talk him round with kind words. 'So before Dong Yun had reached Nanzheng, Wei Yan was dead.'
  • Chapter 107 — The Ruler of Wei Hands Over The Power To Sima Yi; Jiang Wei Is Defeated At Ox Head Hills.
    Dead before the chapter opens. Named with Jiang Wan by Fei Yi as one of the two ministers recently lost, leaving 'no one left fit to take care of the government'.
  • Chapter 115 — Listening To Slander, The Latter Ruler Recalls His Army; Living In Farms, Jiang Wei Avoids Disaster.
    Named in passing only, and long dead, in Liu Shan's own defence of the eunuch: 'I always wondered why Dong Yun seemed to hate poor Huang Hao so much. Now you are the same.' Two of the best men Shu had are dismissed in one sentence as unaccountably prejudiced.
