Shu, Prince of Mu. In the tenth year of Dali, Tian Chengsi refused to act as a subject, and since Zhaojing had died young there was no strong prince; so the emperor made all his sons princes and put them over the armies of the various commands, to overawe the realm. Shu was then made Prince of Mu and given the Lingnan command; Yu was made Prince of Chen with the command of Weibei and Fufang; Guo Prince of Han with the command of Bian and Song; and Zao Prince of Xin with the command of Zhaoyi; all of them as Grand Commissioners. Lian was made Prince of En, Gou Prince of Fu, Xian Prince of Shao, Yu Prince of Duan, Yu Prince of Xun, Tong Prince of Gong, Kui Prince of Yuan, and Yi Prince of Ya; all were made Commanders Unequalled in Honour, but they did not leave the inner palace. Edit
Early in the Jianzhong era of Dezong, when a search was made throughout the realm for the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager, Shu was the eldest of the princes, so he was appointed Commissioner to Receive the Empress Dowager, with the Minister of Works Qiao Lin as his deputy. He died in the seventh year of Zhenyuan. Edit
