Yu was the Crown Prince of Emperor Ming. He ascended the throne at the age of ten, reigning for five years. He frequently went out traveling, and if anything slightly displeased him, he immediately butchered and dismembered people. If he did not kill in a single day, he was gloomy and unhappy. Those in the palace halls and secretariats were terrified, unable to guarantee their food or rest. On the night of wuzi in the seventh month of the dingsi year, the emperor ordered his attendant Yang Yufu to watch for the Weaver Girl crossing the celestial river: "When you see her, you must report to me; if you do not see her, I will execute you." That evening, Yufu waited until the emperor fell into a deep sleep, and together with Yang Wannian assassinated the emperor; he was fifteen years of age. Commander of the Right Guard Xiao Daocheng, acting on the Empress Dowager's order, posthumously enfeoffed Yu as Prince of Cangwu, and welcomed Prince Zhun of Ancheng to ascend the imperial throne; he was nine years old at the time. Reign era: Yuanhui (5 years).
