父仲禧，重熙中始仕。 His father Zhongxi entered government service during Chongxi.

六年，賜國姓，封韓國公，改南院樞密使。 In year six he received the imperial surname Yelu, was enfeoffed Duke of Han, and made Southern Chancellery Privy Commissioner.

時樞臣乙辛等誣陷皇太子，詔仲禧偕乙辛鞫之，蔓引無辜，未嘗雪正。 When Yixin and his faction framed the crown prince, Zhongxi was ordered to investigate alongside Yixin; the inquiry spread falsely to the innocent and never cleared the prince's name.

乙辛薦仲禧可任，拜廣德軍節度使，復為南院樞密使，卒，謚欽惠。 Yixin praised Zhongxi's reliability; he was made military commissioner of Guangde Army and again Southern Privy Commissioner, and died with the posthumous title Qinhui.
