坐遣子析戶，分隸三縣，廣占田宅，藏匿官奴，障吝陂葦，侵盜公私，為御史中尉王顯所彈，免官。 He was charged with having his son divide the household across three counties, seizing vast tracts of land, concealing government slaves, monopolizing pond reeds, and plundering public and private property; Director Wang Xian impeached him and he was dismissed.

子瓚，字紹珍。 His son Zan, courtesy name Shaozhen.

瓚妻，莊帝妹也，後封襄城長公主，故特贈瓚冀州刺史。 Zan's wife was a sister of Emperor Zhuang; she was later enfeoffed as Senior Princess of Xiangcheng, and Zan was therefore posthumously granted the title Governor of Jizhou.
