殷子十餘人，嫡子希振長而賢，其次希聲與希範同日生，而希聲母袁夫人有美色，希聲以母寵得立，而希振棄官為道士，居於家。 Yin had more than a dozen sons. The legitimate heir Xizhen was eldest and capable. Xisheng and Xifan were born the same day, but because Xisheng's mother, Lady Yuan, was beautiful, he won the throne through her favor, while Xizhen resigned his posts, became a Daoist, and lived at home.
