Shuosai, Prince Chengzeyu of the First Rank
Shuosai, Prince Chengzeyu of the First Rank, was the fifth son of Taizong. He was enfeoffed in the first year of Shunzhi. At this time Li Zicheng had fled to the Tong Pass, and the land south of the Yellow River was still held for Zicheng. Shuosai went with the army of Duoduo, Prince Yu of the First Rank, which halted at Mengjin and advanced to attack Shanzhou; he broke Zicheng's commanders Zhang Youzeng and Liu Fangliang, and when Zicheng came out to give battle, crushed him too. The army went through the pass and beheaded his commander Ma Shiyao. Soon after, he went on the southern campaign and broke the Ming Prince Fu, Yousong, and was given a gauze robe with roundel dragons, two thousand taels of gold and twenty thousand taels of silver. Later he went with Duoduo against the Ka'erka, and with Ajige, Prince Ying of the First Rank, to guard Datong. When Jiang Xiang rebelled, Shuosai moved his army to lift the siege of Dai Department, and was raised to Prince of the First Rank. An edict said, "Boluo, Nikan and Shuosai do not properly belong among the most honoured and favoured. Now, because they are grandsons of Taizu, they have been granted the rank of prince as an added favour. Their precedence and stipends shall not equal those of the heshuo Princes of the First Rank." In the seventh year, since there was no rank called simply prince below the heshuo Princes of the First Rank and above the duoluo Princes of the Second Rank, he was changed back to Prince of the Second Rank. In the eighth year he was again raised to heshuo Prince of the First Rank. He was in charge in turn of the Ministry of War and the Imperial Clan Court. He died in the twelfth month of the eleventh year and was given a posthumous name. Edit
