子陵，襲升爵。 His son Ling inherited the title that Sheng had held.

[1]承明初，遷監御長，賜爵始新子，加寧朔將軍、員外散騎常侍。 [1] At the opening of the Chengming era he was made supervisor of the imperial guard, enfeoffed as Viscount of Shixin, and appointed General Who Pacifies the North and extraordinary Regular Attendant.

子陵襲升爵按上不言升封何爵，疑傳有脫文。 "Son Ling inherited Sheng's title": the text above does not say what title Sheng held; the biography appears to have lost wording here.
