逾數月，曾國籓复武昌，奉命查歷任督撫功罪，疏言：「武昌再陷，實因崇綸、台湧多方貽誤，百姓恨之，極稱吳文鎔忠勤愛國，於青麟亦多恕辭。 Months later Zeng Guofan retook Wuchang and was ordered to review the record of successive governors. He reported: "Wuchang's second fall was chiefly due to Chong Lun and Tai Yong, whom the people hated; they praised Wu Wenrong's loyal service, and spoke forgivingly even of Qing Lin.

查文鎔既沒，青麟幫辦軍務，崇綸百端齟《齒吾》：求弁兵以護衛，不與； After Wenrong's death Qing Lin helped manage military affairs, while Chong Lun obstructed him at every turn—he asked for guards and was refused;

崇綸則並此無之矣。」 Chong Lun did none of this;"

疏入，乃斥罷台湧，論崇綸罪。 When the memorial arrived, Tai Yong was dismissed and Chong Lun was put on trial.

崇綸，喜塔臘氏，滿洲正黃旗人。 Chong Lun (Xitala clan) was a Manchu of the Plain Yellow Banner.

咸豐二年，擢湖北巡撫，時武昌方為賊踞，次年春，賊棄武漢東下，分擾江南、江西，崇綸始抵任。 In 1852 he was made Hubei governor while Wuchang was still in rebel hands; the next spring the rebels left Wuhan and marched east into Jiangnan and Jiangxi, and Chong Lun only then took up his post.

崇綸疏言：「武漢民遷市絕，餉乏兵單。 Chong Lun wrote: "Wuhan's people have fled and trade has stopped; supplies are scarce and troops few.

總督吳文鎔初至，與崇綸意相迕。 Governor-general Wu Wenrong had just arrived and clashed with Chong Lun at every turn.

及賊退，崇綸遂以閉城株守劾之。 When the rebels withdrew, Chong Lun impeached him for shutting the gates and holding a passive defense.

文宗慮兩人不能和衷，且僨事，命文鎔出剿，而責崇綸防守。 Emperor Wenzong feared they could not work together and would ruin the campaign; he sent Wenrong out to fight and charged Chong Lun with defense.

文鎔率師薄黃州，崇綸運輸餉械不以時，惟促速戰。 Wenrong led his army toward Huangzhou, but Chong Lun failed to deliver pay and arms on schedule and only pressed him to fight quickly.

崇綸自請出剿，謀脫身走避，文宗燭其隱，不許。 Chong Lun volunteered to take the field but meant to escape; the emperor saw through him and refused.

會丁憂，青麟代之，仍命崇綸留湖北協防。 When he entered mourning, Qing Lin replaced him, but Chong Lun was still ordered to remain in Hubei to help defend.

六月，武昌陷，崇綸先一日出走，徑往陝西。 In the sixth month Wuchang fell; Chong Lun had fled the day before and went straight to Shaanxi.

疏論：「總理各國事務大臣侍郎崇綸、恆祺、董恂、薛煥委瑣齷齪，通國皆知，竊恐外邦輕侮，以為中朝卿貳之班，大都不過如若曹等，未免為中朝恥辱。 He wrote: "The ministers in charge of foreign affairs—Chonglun, Hengqi, Dong Xun, and Xue Huan—were petty and contemptible, as everyone knew. Foreign powers might conclude that China's senior officials were no better, to the dynasty's shame.
