時城西又開士林館以延學士，异與左丞賀琛遞日述高祖《禮記中庸義》，皇太子又召异於玄圃講《易》。 At the time, the Shilin Hall west of the city was also opened to host scholars. Yi and Left Assistant Director He Chen took turns by day expounding Gaozu's Meaning of the Doctrine of the Mean in the Book of Rites, and the crown prince also summoned Yi to Xuanpu to lecture on the Changes.

皇太子又制《圍城賦》，其末章云：「彼高冠及厚履，並鼎食而乘肥，升紫霄之丹地，排玉殿之金扉，陳謀謨之啓沃，宣政刑之福威，四郊以之多壘，萬邦以之未綏。 The crown prince wrote the "Rhapsody on the Besieged City," whose final lines run: "They of high caps and thick soles, feasting on rich fare and riding plump horses, climb the scarlet courts of purple heaven and thrust open the golden gates of jade halls—counseling at the inner audience, wielding the blessings and terrors of law—till the suburbs bristle with ramparts and the realm knows no rest.

時皇太子議，大功之末，可以冠子嫁女。 Then the crown prince argued that in the final days of greater mourning one might cap one’s son or marry off one’s daughter.

令旨以「大功之末可得冠子嫁女，不得自冠自嫁。」 The crown prince holds that "at the end of greater mourning one may crown one’s son and marry one’s daughter, but not crown oneself or marry oneself."
