子嗣。 His son inherited the title.

後坐騎至廟，不敬，有詔奪爵一級，為關內侯，失列侯，得食其故國邑。 Later the son was found guilty of disrespectfully riding his horse to the temple. By imperial decree his rank was reduced one degree to Marquis Within the Pass, losing his full marquisate, though he retained the revenues from his former fief.
