世宗使景所遣使者孫晟等至城下示之，仁贍子崇諫幸其父病，謀與諸將出降，仁贍立命斬之，監軍使周廷構哭於中門救之，不得，於是士卒皆感泣，願以死守。 Shizong paraded Jing’s envoy Sun Sheng below the walls. Renzhan’s son Chongjian, seeing his father ill, plotted surrender with the generals. Renzhan ordered him killed on the spot. Supervisor Zhou Tinggou wept at the middle gate in vain; the soldiers wept and swore to die with the city.
