初，世祖始從官，家尚貧薄，悰推國士之眷，數相分與，每行，必呼上同載，上甚德之。
At first, when the future Emperor Wu was just entering official life, his family was still poor; Cong treated him with the affection due a true friend of the realm, often sharing what he had with him; whenever he traveled he always called the future emperor to ride with him, and the emperor was deeply grateful.

上以悰布衣之舊，從容謂悰曰：「我當令卿復祖業。」
