子諧，字仲和，襲。 His son Xie, styled Zhonghe, succeeded.

詔曰：「朕宗室多故，從弟諧喪逝，悲痛摧割，不能已已。 An edict read: "The imperial house has suffered too many losses; my cousin Xie is gone, and grief cuts so deep I cannot master it.

廣川王於朕大功，必欲再臨。 Prince Guangchuan stands to me in the great-achievement circle; I shall certainly mourn him twice.

詔曰：「若大司馬戚尊位重，必哭於東堂，而廣川既是諸王之子，又年位尚幼，卿等議之，朕無異焉。」 An edict said: "For the Grand Marshal, kin of the highest rank, the Eastern Hall is required; but Guangchuan is a prince's son and still young in years and station—deliberate as you see fit; I raise no objection."

諧將大殮，高祖素服深衣哭之，入室，哀慟，撫尸而出。 On the eve of Xie's great encoffment Gaozu came in plain white and deep mourning, wept, entered the chamber, was overcome, comforted the corpse, and withdrew.

詔贈諧武衞將軍，諡曰剛。 An edict posthumously made Xie General of Martial Guard and gave him the posthumous name Gang.
