庶長子開遠，宇文化及之弑逆也，裴虔通率賊入成象殿，宿衛兵士皆從逆，開遠時為千牛，與獨孤盛力戰於閤下，為賊所執，賊義而舍之。 An elder son by a concubine, Kaiyuan, was serving in the Thousand-Ox Guard when Yuwen Huaji murdered the emperor. Pei Qiantong led the rebels into Chengxian Hall, and the palace guards joined them. Kaiyuan and Dugu Sheng fought fiercely below the gate-tower, were captured, and then released because the rebels admired their courage.
