帝一日獵還,勝參乘,伶人蒙採毳作獅子舞以迎駕,輿象驚,奔逸不可製,勝投身當象前,後至者斷靷縱象,乘輿乃安。 Once, returning from a hunt with Sheng in the carriage, entertainers in feathered costumes performed a lion dance to greet the procession. The carriage elephants panicked and ran out of control. Sheng threw himself in front of them; men arriving behind cut the harness traces and freed the elephants, and the imperial carriage was brought to safety.
泰定初,詔雪其冤,贈推忠宣力保德功臣、太傅、開府儀同三司、上柱國,追封秦國公,諡惠愍。 Early in the Taiding reign, an edict cleared his wrongful conviction and posthumously granted him the titles of Merit for Extending Loyalty, Proclaiming Merit, and Preserving Virtue, Grand Preceptor, Grand Preceptor with Honored Ceremony Equal to the Three Dukes, and Senior Pillar of State. He was posthumously enfeoffed as Duke of Qin with the posthumous name Huimin.
