子昭煥襲。 His son Zhao Huan succeeded.

昭煥，字顯明，十三年正月，上東巡，釋奠孔子廟，禦詩禮堂。 Zhao Huan, whose style was Xianming. In the first month of the thirteenth year the Emperor toured the east, offered libation at the Temple of Confucius, and visited the Hall of Poetry and Rites.

昭煥方幼，命其族人舉人繼汾等進講。 Zhao Huan was still a child, so the Emperor ordered his kinsman, presented scholar Jifen, and others to lecture in his place.

賜昭煥宴，賚書籍、文綺、貂幣，官繼汾中書，族人有官者皆進秩。 He gave Zhao Huan a banquet and bestowed books, brocades, and sable gifts. Jifen was appointed to the Central Secretariat, and every clansman in office received a promotion.

二十一年，昭煥疏言：「皇莊戶丁蒙恩免役，歷來地方官額外雜派，每事調劑非易，請酌留五十戶，餘改歸民籍，交地方官編審應役。」 In the twenty-first year Zhao Huan memorialized: "The estate households have been graciously exempted from corvée, yet local officials have long imposed extra levies on them, making every adjustment difficult. I ask that fifty households be kept, while the rest be returned to the common register and assigned corvée by the local magistrate."

上諭曰：「昭煥疏言皇莊，此必沿前代舊習，然亦止應稱官莊。 The Emperor said: "Zhao Huan writes of an 'imperial estate'—no doubt an old habit from earlier dynasties—but he should have called it only the official estate.

'昭煥可謂不能讀其祖書矣。 Zhao Huan plainly has not read his ancestor's books.

朕展謁先師，衍聖公督令廟戶除道清產，理所應爾，豈當轉庇廟戶，並發帑僱役亦不肯應耶？」 When I visited the ancient teacher, it was only fitting that the Duke Yansheng should have the temple households clear the roads and clean the grounds. How could he instead shield those households, refusing even labor paid from the treasury?"

以昭煥年少，歸咎繼汾及其兄繼涑，皆譴黜。 Because Zhao Huan was young, blame fell on Jifen and his elder brother Jisu; both were censured and dismissed.

四十八年，昭煥卒，子憲培襲。 In the forty-eighth year Zhao Huan died; his son Xian Pei succeeded.
