子阿楞、撻楞。 His sons were Aleng and Taleng.

海陵為相，將謀弑立，構而殺之。 While Hailing was chief minister, plotting murder and usurpation, he framed Aleng and had him killed.

海陵複問其次，辯曰：「鄧王子阿楞。」 Hailing pressed for the next choice. Bian said: "Aleng, son of the Prince of Deng."

海陵曰：「阿楞屬疏。」 Hailing said: "Aleng is too far from the line."

由是海陵謂胙王有人望，不除之將不得立，故心忌常勝並阿楞。 Thence Hailing reckoned the Prince of Zu held the people’s favor—without removing him he could not reign—and so he hated Changsheng and Aleng alike.

是時，阿楞方為奉國上將軍。 Aleng was then General-in-Chief Who Upholds the State.

海陵乘此並擠阿楞殺之。 Hailing used the moment to force Aleng’s death as well.

阿楞弟撻楞，熙宗本無意殺之，海陵曰：「其兄既已伏誅，其弟安得獨存。」 Aleng’s brother Taleng—Xizong had not meant to kill him. Hailing said: "The elder brother is already dead—can the younger live alone?"

海陵篡立，追封常勝、查刺、阿楞官爵，親臨葬所致祭。 Once Hailing seized the throne he posthumously restored Changsheng, Chaci, and Aleng, and came in person to their graves to sacrifice.
