十九年，子石古乃加光祿大夫。 In the nineteenth year his son Shigu Nai was made Grand Master of Splendid Happiness.

顯宗先遣章宗、宣宗奉表問起居於上京，既而遣永中子光祿大夫石古乃奉表。 Xianzong first dispatched Zhangzong and Xuanzong to the Upper Capital with memorials inquiring after the emperor's health; he then sent Yong Zhong's son Shigu Nai, Grand Master of Splendid Happiness, with another memorial.

石古乃曰瑜，神土門日璋，阿思懣曰槩，阿離合懣曰曁彖。 Shigu Nai was named Yu, Shentumen was named Zhang, Asimen was named Gai, and Alihemen was named Jitan.

再賜永中修公廨錢三百萬，特加石古乃銀青榮祿大夫，阿離合懣奉國上將軍。 Yong Zhong was further given three million in cash to repair his official residence; Shigu Nai was specially made Silver-Green Glory Grandee, and Alihemen was made General-in-Chief Who Supports the State.

前近侍局副使裴滿可孫嘗受永中請托，為石古乃求除官，可孫已改同知西京留守，猶坐免。 Peiman Kesun, formerly vice commissioner of the Inner Service Bureau, had once taken Yong Zhong's commission and lobbied for an appointment for Shigu Nai. Though Kesun had already been made co-administrator of the Western Capital garrison, he was still stripped of his post on that account.
