高祖留守鄴都，得濛歡甚，乃為重胤娶濛女，後封吳國夫人。 Gaozu, regent at Ye, grew fond of Meng and had Chongyin marry his daughter; later she was made Lady of Wu.

重胤早卒，后寡居，有色，出帝悅之。 Chongyin died young. The widow was beautiful, and the Fleeing Emperor desired her.

二叔父曰萬友、萬詮，兄曰敬儒，弟曰敬威、敬德、敬殷、敬赟、敬暉、重胤，子曰重貴、重信、重乂、重英、重進、重睿、重杲，孫曰延煦、延寶。 The two paternal uncles were Wanyou and Wanyuan; the elder brother, Jingru; the younger brothers Jingwei, Jingde, Jingyin, Jingyun, Jinghui, and Chongyin; the sons Chonggui, Chongxin, Chongyi, Chongying, Chongjin, Chongrui, and Chonggao; the grandsons Yanxu and Yanbao.

孝平皇帝生孝元皇帝、萬友、萬詮，孝元皇帝生高祖，萬友生敬威、敬赟，萬詮生敬暉，而敬儒、敬德、敬殷、重胤皆不知其於高祖為親疏也。 Emperor Xiaoping fathered Emperor Xiaoyuan, Wanyou, and Wanyuan; Emperor Xiaoyuan fathered Gaozu; Wanyou fathered Jingwei and Jingyun; Wanyuan fathered Jinghui; but whether Jingru, Jingde, Jingyin, and Chongyin stood near or far from Gaozu in kinship is unknown.

重胤，高祖弟也，亦不知其為親疏，然高祖愛之，養以為子，故於名加「重」而下齒諸子。 Chongyin was Gaozu’s younger brother—again, near or distant kin is unclear—but Gaozu loved him, raised him as a son, gave him the “Chong” name, and ranked him with his sons.

高祖叔、兄與弟敬殷、子重進，皆前即位卒，而敬威、敬德、重胤、重英，高祖反時死。 Gaozu’s paternal uncles, elder brother, younger brother Jingyin, and son Chongjin all died before his accession; Jingwei, Jingde, Chongyin, and Chongying died when Gaozu rose in rebellion.
