Prince Zhen of Mi
Yuanxiao, Prince Zhen of Mi, was Prefect of Guozhou in the Zhenguan years, with an actual fief that reached a thousand households. He was transferred to Ze Prefecture. When he died, he was posthumously made Grand Minister of Education and Area Commander-in-chief of Yang Prefecture, and was buried in attendance at the Xian Mausoleum. Edit
His son Ying succeeded him as Prince of Nan'an. When Ying died, his son Xu succeeded him and died young. At the start of Shenlong, Tan, the adopted son of Ying's younger brother Liang, was made his heir. In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, a new edict made Che, Duke of Dongguan Commandery, a grandson of Yuanxiao's first cousin, the heir instead; his fief was changed to Prince of Puyang Commandery, and he served as Chief Minister of the Court of the Imperial Clan and Grand Master for Splendid Happiness with Gold Seal and Purple Ribbon.
