Xiang, Prince of Su, was outstandingly gifted, and the emperor loved him. He died in the second year of Jianzhong, only four years old. The emperor wanted to follow the Buddhist practice and give him a stupa instead of a grave mound, but Li Tiao, Administrative Assistant for Rites and Ceremonies, protested that this was against the rites, and it was not done. An edict gave him the posthumous title Grand Area Commander-in-chief of Yang Prefecture. Edit

The Heir Apparent Wenjing, Yuan, was loved by the emperor, who ordered that he be treated as his son. At the beginning of Zhenyuan he was made Prince of Yong ahead of the other princes.

He died in the fifteenth year, aged eighteen, and was given a posthumous title and name.
