高祖即位之二年，授鳳州防禦使，加檢校司徒，會丁母憂，起復，授內客省使、右監門衛大將軍。 In the second year of Gaozu's reign he was made defense commissioner of Fengzhou and given the honorary title of minister of education. When his mother died he was recalled from mourning and appointed commissioner of the inner guests bureau and great general of the right gate guard.

遂清性至孝，牧淄川日，自北海迎其母赴郡，母既及境，遂清奔馳路側，控轡行數十里，父老觀者如堵，當時榮之。 Suiqing was deeply filial by nature. While governing Zichuan he went to Beihai to bring his mother to his post. When she reached the prefectural border he ran out to the road, took the reins of her carriage, and walked beside her for miles. The local elders lined the route, and contemporaries praised him for it.
