太子外祖父特進平恩侯許伯以為太子少，白使其弟中郎將舜監護太子家。 The heir's maternal grandfather, Marquis of Ping'en Xu Bo, thought the boy needed more minders and asked that his brother, General of the Household Xu Shun, oversee the heir's establishment.

官屬已備，今復使舜護太子家，視陋，非所以廣太子德於天下也。」 His staff is complete; to add Xu Shun as overseer looks petty and does nothing to spread the heir's virtue through the realm."
