勘驗知是舅子，始追贈外祖雙周為上柱國、太尉、八州諸軍事、青州刺史，封齊郡公，諡曰敬，外祖母姚氏為齊敬公夫人。 Investigation showed he was indeed a nephew on the mother's side. The court then posthumously honored the maternal grandfather Shuangzhou as Supreme Pillar of State, Grand Commandant, commander of military affairs in eight prefectures, and governor of Qing, enfeoffing him as Duke of Qi with the posthumous name Jing; the maternal grandmother, née Yao, was titled Lady of Duke Jing of Qi.
