昶幼子玄寶，生七歲而卒，太常言無服之殤無贈典，昶問李昊，昊曰：「昔唐德宗皇子評生四歲而卒，贈揚州大都督，封肅王，此故事也。」 Chang's youngest son Xuanbao died at seven. The Court of Imperial Sacrifices said a child who died before wearing mourning had no posthumous honors. Chang asked Li Hao, who said: "Under Tang Dezong the imperial son Ping died at four and was posthumously made Grand Governor of Yang Prefecture and enfeoffed Prince of Su—that is precedent."
