Open chapter

父欽祚，仕至殿中監，出為義州刺史。 His father Qinhuo rose to director of the palace domestic service and was later posted as prefect of Yi.

杜重威之鎮東平也，瑜父欽祚為節度副使，及重威移鎮常山，瑜乃詭計於重威，使奏己為恒州節度副使，竟代其父位。 While Du Chongwei held Dongping, Yu's father Qinhuo served as his deputy. When Chongwei was transferred to Changshan, Yu persuaded him by a ruse to recommend him as deputy military governor of Hengzhou, and in the end took his father's place.

丙午歲，父欽祚刺舉義州，瑜歸寧至郡。 In the bingwu year his father Qinhuo was posted as investigating commissioner of Yi prefecture, and Yu went to visit him there.

會契丹據有中夏，何建以秦州歸蜀，瑜說欽祚曰：「若不西走，當屬契丹矣！」 The Khitans had seized the heartland, and He Jian had surrendered Qinzhou to Shu. Yu urged his father, "If we do not flee west, we shall end up under Khitan rule!"

厲色數諫，其父怒而不從。 He remonstrated again and again with a fierce expression, but his father grew angry and refused.

因其臥疾涉旬，瑜仗劍而脅之曰：「老懦無謀，欲趨炮烙。 When his father had been bedridden for more than ten days, Yu drew his sword and threatened him: "You old fool without a plan—you are rushing straight toward the stake.

父不得已而聽之。 His father had no choice but to yield.

徽之所親，循溝澮而遁，至馬峽路隅，舉燧相應，其黨起於伏莽，斷欽祚之首，貫諸長矛。 Hui's men stole along ditches and canals until, at a bend on the Maxia road, they lit signal fires. His band sprang from the brush, cut off Qinhuo's head, and spitted it on a long spear.
