先是，夏使精方匭匣使王立之來聘，未複命國已亡，詔於京兆安置，充宣差彈壓，主管夏國降戶。 Earlier, Xia envoy Wang Lizhi, the Jingfang Guiqiashi, had come on a diplomatic mission; before he could report home his state had fallen. An edict settled him in Jingzhao as special commissioner for suppression, in charge of Xia surrendered households.

八年五月，立之妻子三十余口至環州，詔以歸立之，賜以幣帛。 In the fifth month of the eighth year more than thirty members of Lizhi's family reached Huan Prefecture; an edict reunited them with Lizhi and bestowed silks and cloth.

立之上言，先世本申州人，乞不仕，居申州。 Lizhi memorialized that his ancestors were originally from Shen Prefecture; he asked to decline office and live in Shen Prefecture.
