About Yu Bing (Eastern Jin)

Yu Bing, courtesy name Jijian, was a Chinese consort kin and politician. He served as a minister of the Eastern Jin dynasty. He was a part of the prestigious Yu clan of Yingchuan as the younger brother of Yu Liang and elder brother of Emperor Ming of Jin's empress, Yu Wenjun. After Yu Liang died in February 340, Yu Bing and another brother of his, Yu Yi inherited Liang's influence in the court. During the succession issues of 342 and 344, Yu Bing pushed for his nephews to inherit the throne to retain his clan's power, in contrast to his court rival and brother-in-law He Chong, who supported the dying emperors' sons to succeed instead.
