父隆禮，歷州刺史，善檢督吏，以嚴辯自名。 His father Longli had served as prefect of Lizhou, was skilled at keeping officials in line, and was known for his stern and incisive manner.

時禦府財物羨積如丘山，隆禮性詳密，出納雖尋尺皆自按省，凡物經楊卿者，號無不精麗，歲常愛省數百萬。 Imperial storehouse goods had piled up like hills. Longli was painstaking by nature and personally checked every transaction, however small. Goods that passed through Director Yang's hands were said to be invariably exquisite, and he routinely saved the treasury several million each year.

隆禮罷太府，玄宗訪其子可代父任者，宰相以慎餘、慎矜、慎名皆得父清白。 When Longli stepped down from the palace storehouse, Xuanzong asked which son might succeed him. The chancellors replied that Shenyu, Shenjin, and Shenming had all inherited their father's spotless reputation.
