宰相鄭玨等議引漢桓、靈為比，以謂靈帝尊其祖解瀆亭侯淑為孝元皇，父萇為孝仁皇，請下有司定謚四代祖考為皇，置園陵如漢故事。 Chancellor Zheng Jue and others cited Emperors Huan and Ling of Han, noting that Ling had honored his grandfather as Emperor Xiaoyuan and his father as Emperor Xiaoren. They asked the proper offices to posthumously title four generations of ancestors as emperor and establish gardens and tombs as in Han practice.
