自車駕巡幸，浟常留鄴。 Whenever the emperor went on tour, You often remained at Ye.

河清三年三月，群盜田子禮等數十人謀劫浟為主，詐稱使者，徑向浟第，至內室，稱勑牽浟上馬，臨以白刃，欲引向南殿。 In the third month of the third year of the Heqing era, several dozen bandits led by Tian Zili plotted to make You their figurehead; posing as imperial envoys, they went straight to his residence, entered the inner chamber, declared an edict, dragged him onto a horse, held blades to his throat, and tried to march him toward the Southern Hall.

浟大呼不從，遂遇害，時年三十二，朝野痛惜焉。 You shouted his refusal and would not submit; he was murdered on the spot. He was thirty-two. Court and realm mourned.

初浟未被劫前，其妃鄭氏夢人斬浟頭持去，惡之，數日而浟見殺。 Before the attack, his consort Lady Zheng dreamed of a man severing You's head and carrying it away; she took it as an ill omen, and within days You was dead.
