先是憲長兄簡懿為左僕射，至是憲為右僕射，臺省內目簡懿為大僕射，憲為小僕射，朝廷榮之。 Earlier, Xian's eldest brother Yuan Shu, posthumously known as Jianyi, had served as Left Vice Director; now Xian was Right Vice Director. Within the Secretariat, Yuan Shu was called the Senior Vice Director and Xian the Junior Vice Director, and the court considered this an honor.
