Dieluozhi was a son of Ilig Khan.[1] The Xin Tang Shu tells one story of him from the years after 630, when the khan’s family lived as captives at Chang’an.[1]
The household was lodged at the capital. The women received rations according to their rank.[1] Dieluozhi received a share as well.[1] His mother arrived last and was given nothing. He did not dare to taste his meat.[1] The emperor Taizong heard of it and sighed. Humaneness and filial piety come from Heaven, so how could they be limited to Chinese or barbarians?[1] He gave Dieluozhi rich presents and had meat provided for his mother.[1]
Dieluoshi
The Zizhi tongjian names a son in its account of the defeat of 630.[2] Li Jing’s army killed the Sui princess Yicheng, Ilig’s wife. It took 其子, her son or his son, Dieluoshi, 疊羅施.[2] The Cefu yuangui has the same words.[3] One translation reads them as Ilig’s son.[4] No text says whether Dieluoshi and Dieluozhi are one man. If they were, the mother who reached Chang’an last cannot have been Yicheng.
