詵 Shēn

His son Shen was Prince of Qinghe and died young. Ai was Prince of Fanyang; knowing that the Prince of Yue was sure to fail, he reported the plot, and so escaped execution. He served as Right Cavalier Attendant-in-ordinary and was killed by the cruel officials. At the start of Shenlong all their princely titles were posthumously restored, and Ai's son Daojian succeeded to his. Edit

Daojian was upright and strict and kept to the rules of propriety, and his household was solemn and orderly. Seven times he was a prefect, and he was moved to Chancellor of the Directorate of Education. In the Kaiyuan period he was selected and appointed Prefect of Bian Prefecture and Investigation Commissioner of Henan Circuit. The prefecture stood at a great meeting point of land and water routes, and the prefects before and after him mostly sullied themselves with profit; only Daojian was known for being clean and resolute. He entered the capital as Chief Minister of the Court of the Imperial Clan. When he died he was posthumously made Minister of Rites. His son Yu succeeded him; he followed Xuanzong to Shu and was General of the Right Imperial Insignia Guard. At the start of Baoying, when the Crown Prince's son was made Prince of Lu, Yu's title was changed to Prince of Zou by Succession. His younger brother Daosui was enfeoffed as Duke of Dai. He was respectful and quiet and kept to himself; because he set in order the old precedents for marriages among the great families east of the mountains, he held a number of honorable posts, ending as Right Assistant Director of the Department of State Affairs.
