舒王
舒王元名，始王譙，後徙王。高祖之在大安宮，太宗晨夕使尚宮問起居，元名才十歲，保媼言：「尚宮有品當拜。」元名曰：「此帝侍婢耳，何拜為？」太宗壯之，曰：「真吾弟也！」及長，矜嚴疏財，未嘗問家人生業。歷五州刺史，實封至千戶。
Prince of Shu
Yuanming, Prince of Shu, was first made Prince of Qiao and later had his fief changed. When Gaozu was living in the Da'an Palace, Taizong sent the Chief of Palace Attendance morning and evening to ask after his health. Yuanming was only ten, and his nurse said, "The Chief of Palace Attendance holds rank; you should bow to her." Yuanming said, "She is only the emperor's maidservant; why should I bow?" Taizong admired his spirit and said, "Truly my brother!" When he grew up he was dignified and stern and cared little for wealth, and never asked about his household's property. He served as prefect of five prefectures, and his actual fief reached a thousand households. Edit
