無子，詔以彭城王浟第二子準嗣。 Having no sons, an edict appointed Prince Jingsi of Pengcheng You's second son Zhun as heir.

皇建初，為太傅，與彭城、河間王並給仗衛、羽林百人。 At the beginning of Huangjian he was made Grand Tutor; he, the Prince of Pengcheng, and the Prince of Hejian were each assigned armed guards and one hundred Yulin troops.

彭城景思王浟，字子深，神武第五子也。 Prince Jingsi of Pengcheng, You, whose style name was Zishen, was the fifth son of Gao Huan.

博士韓毅教浟書，見浟筆跡未工，戲浟曰：「五郎書畫如此，忽為常侍開國，今日後宜更用心。」 The Erudite Han Yi taught You to write; seeing that You's handwriting was not yet skilled, he joked with You, saying, "Fifth Lord's writing and drawing are like this — suddenly to become Regular Attendant and establish a state, from today onward you ought to apply yourself more diligently."

浟正色答曰：「昔甘羅幼為秦相，未聞能書。 You replied with a stern countenance, "In former times Gan Luo in youth became Chancellor of Qin — one never heard that he could write.

浟纖介知人間事。 You knew of the smallest matters among the people.

有濕沃縣主簿張達嘗詣州，夜投人舍，食雞羹，浟察知之。 The chief clerk of Shiwo County, Zhang Da, once came to the province; at night he lodged in a private house and ate chicken broth — You detected it.

守令畢集，浟對衆曰：「食雞羹何不還價直也？」 When the prefects and magistrates had all assembled, You said before the crowd, "You ate chicken broth — why did you not pay the price?"

浟乃令左右及府僚吏分市鹿脯，不限其價。 You then ordered his attendants and provincial staff to buy dried venison in the markets, without limiting the price.

浟乃詐為上府市牛皮，倍酬價直，使牛主認之，因獲其盜。 You then falsely announced that the superior office was buying ox hides in the market, paying double the price, and had the ox's owner identify them — thereby capturing the thief.

浟乃令人密往書菜葉為字，明日市中看菜葉有字，獲賊。 You then had men secretly go and write characters on the vegetable leaves; the next day, seeing characters on the leaves in the market, they captured the thief.

浟重其意，為食一口。 You, honoring their intent, ate one mouthful.

州舊案五百餘，浟未期悉斷盡。 The province had more than five hundred old cases; before the term was out You had judged them all.

浟使告曰：「吾直道而行，何憚權戚，卿等當成人之美，反以權戚為言。」 You sent word saying, "I walk the straight path — why should I fear powerful kin? You ought to help others achieve excellence; instead you speak of powerful kin."

浟明練世務，果於斷決，事無大小，咸悉以情。 You was clear and practiced in affairs of the age, decisive in judgment; matters great and small he handled entirely according to the merits of each case.

浟摘發其事，昂等以罪除名。 You exposed the matter; Ang and the others were stripped of their names and offices on account of the crime.
