帝思念舅氏不已。暢尚幼,景初末,以暢為射聲校尉,加散騎常侍,又特為起大第,車駕親自臨之。又於其后園為像母起觀廟,名其里曰渭陽里,以追思母氏也。嘉平三年正月,暢薨,追贈車騎將軍,諡曰恭侯;子紹嗣。太和六年,明帝愛女淑薨,追封諡淑為平原懿公主,為之立廟。取后亡從孫黃與合葬,追封黃列侯,以夫人郭氏從弟德為之後,承甄氏姓,封德為平原侯,襲公主爵。 〈孫盛曰:於禮,婦人既無封爵之典,況於孩末,而可建以大邑乎?德自異族,援繼非類,匪功匪親,而襲母爵,違情背典,於此為甚。陳群雖抗言,楊阜引事比並,然皆不能極陳先王之禮,明封建繼嗣之義,忠至之辭,猶有闕乎!詩云:「赫赫師尹,民具爾瞻。」宰輔之職,其可略哉!《晉諸公贊》曰:德字彥孫。司馬景王輔政,以女妻德。妻早亡,文王復以女繼室,即京兆長公主。景、文二王欲自結於郭后,是以頻繁為婚。德雖無才學,而恭謹謙順。甄溫字仲舒,與郭建及德等皆后族,以事宜見寵。咸熙初,封郭建為臨渭縣公,德廣安縣公,邑皆千八百戶。溫本國侯,進為輔國大將軍,加侍中,領射聲校尉,德鎮軍大將軍。泰始元年,晉受禪,加建、德、溫三人位特進。德為人貞素,加以世祖姊夫,是以遂貴當世。德暮年官更轉為宗正,遷侍中。太康中,大司馬齊王攸當之籓,德與左衛將軍王濟共諫請,時人嘉之。世祖以此望德,由此出德為大鴻臚,加侍中、光祿大夫,尋疾薨,贈中軍大將軍,開府侍中如故,諡恭公,子喜嗣。喜精粹有器美,歷中書郎、右衛將軍、侍中,位至輔國大將軍,加散騎常侍。喜與國姻親,而經趙王倫、齊王冏事故,能不豫際會,良由其才短,然亦以退靜免之。 〉青龍中,又封后從兄子毅及像弟三人,皆為列侯。毅數上疏陳時政,官至越騎校尉。嘉平中,复封暢子二人為列侯。后兄儼孫女為齊王皇后,后父已沒,封后母為廣樂鄉君。
