是日，中書參知政事郭庸亦舁至齊化門，眾叱之拜，庸曰：「臣各為其主，死自吾分，何拜之有！」 That same day, Associate Administration Councilor Guo Yong was also carried to Qihua Gate. The crowd shouted at him to bow. Yong said, "A minister serves his own lord—death is my allotted portion. What bowing is there!"

庸字允中，蒙古氏，由國學生釋褐出身，累遷為陝西行台監察御史，與同列劾知樞密院事也先帖木兒喪師，左遷中興總管府判官。 Yong, whose style name was Yunzhong, was a Mongol who entered office through the National University. He was promoted by stages to investigating censor of the Shaanxi Branch Censorate and, together with his colleagues, impeached Privy Council Director Yesan Temur for losing the army and was demoted to assistant magistrate of Zhongxing Superior Prefecture.

其後也先帖木兒以罪黜，召拜監察御史，累轉參政中書，其節義與好禮並云。 Later Yesan Temur was dismissed for his crimes. Yong was recalled and appointed investigating censor, promoted by stages to participant in the Central Secretariat. His integrity and righteousness are spoken of together with Haoli's.
