Zhong You was elected as, and later served as a business and other posts, leaving due to illness. Later, he was recruited into the court, where he was appointed as Tingweizheng and Huangmen Assistant Minister.
In the third year of Han Xianping (192), after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si attacked Chang 'an and took control of the state affairs. At this time, Cao Cao broke the yellow turban insurrectionary and led Yanzhou animal husbandry, and sent a letter to Chang 'an court for the first time. Li and Guo think that the hero of Kanto intends to set up another emperor and doesn't trust Cao Cao. With the help of Cao Cao, Zhong persuaded Li and Guo to support their loyalty.
In the second year of Xingping (195), Li and Guo fought and threatened to return to camp. Zhong You conspired with Wei Yangji, Shang Hanbin and others to induce his subordinates to revolt, weaken their strength and escape from Chang 'an. Because of his work, he worshiped Zhong Cheng and moved to serve Zhong and Shangshu as servants, and was named.

When Zhong You was young, he went to Baodushan with Liu Sheng to study calligraphy for three years. After he came back, he compared brushwork with Cao Cao, Han Danchun, Sun Zi, Guan Pipa and other masters. Zhong You suddenly saw Cai Yong's Calligraphy in Dan Wei's seat, so he asked Shan Wei for this book, but Dan Wei refused to give it. After returning home, he beat his chest and feet for several days, so he vomited blood.
Cao came back from the dead and took five panaceas. After Dan Wei's death, Zhong You secretly sent someone to dig up Dan Wei's grave before he got Cai Yong's book. However, it is likely to be fictional. When Wei was born, Zhong You had been dead for 265,438+0 years.
As a minister in charge of prisons for a long time, Zhong You proposed to Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui several times to restore corporal punishment, arguing that corporal punishment was nominally benevolent, but actually aggravated the punishment due to the increase in the number of death sentences. Chen Qun, minister of Cao Wei, and others also supported this view, but the minister headed by Wang Lang resolutely opposed it. In the end, due to various reasons, this proposal has never been adopted.
