	After the Zhengde Emperor's death in 1521, the Templars ensured that his cousin [[Zhu Houcong]] would succeed him as Emperor.

	Possessing an interest in trade and foreign languages, Yu Dayong would subsequently enforce the [[Slavery\|slave]] trade, selling opponents to the [[Portugal\|Portuguese]] and earning huge profits while also humiliating and exiling the Templars' enemies. He later played a role in initiating the [[Great Rites Controversy]], which resulted in the near-eradication of the [[Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins\|Chinese Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]].<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]'' – [[Database: Yu Dayong]]</ref>		Possessing an interest in trade and foreign languages, Gu Dayong would subsequently enforce the [[Slavery\|slave]] trade, selling opponents to the [[Portugal\|Portuguese]] and earning huge profits while also humiliating and exiling the Templars' enemies.

	Yu Dayong is an antagonist and assassination target in the 2015 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]''~~. He is based on Gu Dayong (谷大用), who was historically one of the members of the Eight Tigers~~.		Gu Dayong (谷大用) is a historical figure who features as an antagonist and assassination target in the 2015 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]''.

	~~However, his~~ surname [[wikt:谷\|Gǔ (谷)]] ~~incorrectly uses the reading~~ Yù in the game, even by the {{Wiki\|Mandarin Chinese\|Mandarin}}-speaking guards. This surname means 'valley' or 'gorge' while his personal name Dàyòng (大用) literally translates to 'great use'. The error was rectified in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Blade of Shao Jun]]'', the 2019 manga adaptation of ''Chronicles: China''.

The error was rectified in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Blade of Shao Jun]]'', the 2019 manga adaptation of ''Chronicles: China''.

	Additionally, the manga portrays Dayong's death differently from the game, as rather than assassinating him on the spot, Shao Jun stabs him in the liver to make him feel a "fraction of the pain" he inflicted onto others. As a result, Dayong's death is slower, and he survives long enough to inform Qiu Ju that the Assassin is in Macau. Another difference between the game and the manga is the fact that, in the latter, Dayong sends the Precursor box away in anticipation of Shao Jun's arrival. As a result, the Assassin does not retrieve the box in Macau, nor at any other point in the storyline.
