自嘉死後,開封侯陶青、桃侯劉舍及武帝時柏至侯許昌、平棘侯薛澤、武強侯莊青翟、商陵侯趙周,皆以列侯繼踵,娖娖廉謹,為丞相備員而已,無所能發明功名著於世者。 After Shentu Jia's death came Tao Qing of Kaifeng and Liu She of Tao, and under Emperor Wu, Xu Chang of Bozhi, Xue Ze of Pingji, Zhuang Qingdi of Wuqiang, and Zhao Zhou of Shangling—each a full marquis who stepped into the chancellorship in turn. They were honest, cautious placeholders, none of whom left a mark on the age.

廣國賢有行,故欲相之,念久之不可,而高帝時大臣又皆多死,餘見無可者,乃以御史大夫嘉為丞相,因故邑封為故安侯。 Guangguo was a worthy man of fine conduct, and the emperor wished to make him chancellor. But after long deliberation he concluded it was not feasible. Moreover, most of the great ministers from Emperor Gao's era had already died, and none of the survivors were suitable candidates. He therefore appointed Censor Grand Master Jia as chancellor and enfeoffed him as Marquis of Gu'an, taking his old fief as the basis.
