高祖二弟三子：弟曰崇、曰信，子曰承訓、承祐、承勳。 Gaozu had two brothers—Chong and Xin—and three sons: Chengxun (承訓), Chengyou, and Chengxun (承勳).

崇子曰赟，高祖愛之，以為己子。 Chong’s son Yun was loved by Gaozu and adopted as his son.

而宗室河東節度使崇等在者四人，乃為太后誥曰：「河東節度使崇，許州節度使信，皆高祖之弟，徐州節度使赟，開封尹承勳，皆高祖之子，文武百辟，其擇嗣君以承天統。」 Four of the Liu clan remained; the dowager's edict read: "Chong of Hedong, Xin of Xu, Yun of Xuzhou, and Chengxun of Kaifeng—brothers and sons of Gaozu—and bade the court choose an heir."
