嗣昭七子，至明宗時，子繼能坐笞殺其母主藏婢，婢家告變，言繼能反，與其弟繼襲皆見殺，惟一子繼忠僅免。 Of Sizhao’s seven sons, under Mingzong his son Jineng was condemned for flogging to death a maid in charge of his mother’s storehouse. The maid’s family accused Jineng of rebellion; he and his younger brother Jixi were both executed, and only Jizhong narrowly escaped.
