習素為安重誨所不悅，希其旨者上言習厚斂汴人，乃以太子太師致仕，歸昭慶故里，明宗以其子令謙為趙州刺史以奉養之。 An Chonghui had never liked Xi. Men eager to please Chonghui accused him of bleeding Bian dry. Xi was made Grand Preceptor of the Heir Apparent and sent home to Zhaqing. Mingzong made his son Lingqian prefect of Zhao to provide for him.

習二子：令謙、蒙。 Xi had two sons: Lingqian and Meng.

令謙有勇力，善騎射，以父任為將，官至趙州刺史，有善政，卒於州，州人號泣送葬者數千人，當時號為良刺史。 Lingqian was strong, brave, and a fine mounted archer. His father’s rank made him a general; he rose to prefect of Zhao and ruled well. He died in office, and thousands wept at his funeral. Men called him a model prefect.
