孝惠章皇后祔太廟，議者欲祔於孝康章皇后之次，掞曰：「孝康章皇后雖母以子貴，然孝惠章皇后，章皇帝嫡配也，上聖孝格天。 When Empress Xiaohui was to be installed in the Ancestral Temple, some proposed placing her after Empress Xiaokang. Shan said: "Empress Xiaokang was honored as mother through her son, yet Empress Xiaohui was the lawful consort of Emperor Zhang, and the emperor's filial devotion reaches Heaven.

曩者太皇太后祔廟時，不以躋孝端文皇后之上，今肯以孝康章皇后躋孝惠章皇后上乎？」 When the Grand Empress Dowager was enshrined, she was not ranked above Empress Xiaoduan. Would the throne now rank Empress Xiaokang above Empress Xiaohui?"
