時庭中及兩廊下衛士二千餘人皆被甲待詔，武衛娥永樂武力絕綸，又被文宣重遇，撫刃思效。 More than two thousand guards in the courtyard and along both wings of the hall stood armored, awaiting command. E Yongle of the Military Guard was a fighter without equal, and Emperor Wenxuan had greatly favored him; he gripped his blade, ready to give his life.

高歸彥勑勞衛士解嚴，永樂乃內刀而泣。 Gao Guiyan ordered the guards to stand down and thanked them for their service; E Yongle then sheathed his blade and wept.

帝乃令歸彥引侍衛之士向華林園，以京畿軍入守門閤，斬娥永樂於園。 The prince then ordered Gao Guiyan to lead the palace guards to Hualin Garden, posted the capital garrison at the palace gates, and executed E Yongle there.
