Shixiong, great-grandson of Dezhao

Shixiong was another son of Congai, and was known in his youth for his hard study. In the Xining period an edict ordered that the names of clansmen who had shown their talent and ability be submitted by their superiors and by the education officials, and Shixiong's son Lingshuo was among those chosen. Shixiong once asked that residences be built in the capital to house the distant kin of the clan, and that a three-hall school be set up to teach those who studied. An edict adopted his proposal: Clan Harmony Halls were set up in the two capitals, and each of the six clan palaces built a school. When Huizong came to the throne, because Shixiong held the most senior generation in Taizu's line, he was appointed Military Commissioner of the Chongxin Army, succeeded as Prince of Anding Commandery, and was made Administrator of the Great Office of Imperial Clan Affairs. He died in the fourth year of Chongning, aged seventy-five. He was posthumously made Grand Commandant and posthumously enfeoffed as Prince of Zi, with the posthumous name Gongxian. Shifu succeeded to the fief. Edit
