Book of Later Han, Chapter 24Volume 21: Biographies of Ren, Li, Wan, Pi, Liu, Geng · 2 passages

時，揚弟臨邑侯讓及從兄細各擁兵萬餘人，揚自恃眾強而純意安靜，即從官屬詣之，兄弟並將輕兵在門外。 Liu Yang's brother Rang, marquis of Linyi, and cousin Xi each commanded ten thousand men; confident in his numbers, Liu Yang thought Geng Chun harmless and walked in with a light escort while his brothers waited outside with picked troops.

帝憐揚、讓謀未發，並封其子，復故國。 The emperor noted that Liu Yang and Liu Rang had not yet openly rebelled, so he enfeoffed their sons and restored their old titles out of mercy.
