On November 20th, in the 19th year of Daqi Yuanping, chaos erupted in the Capital Camp guarding the capital city, as several deputy generals led hundreds of men in betrayal against the court.
This rebel army managed to invade the capital city momentarily, causing chaos in the capital. It wasn't until several government offices and the imperial guard fought for half a day that everyone was captured.
Afterwards, there were successive mutinies by stationed troops in eight different states and counties.
The Emperor was gravely ill and couldn't attend court, so Prince Qi led troops to the capital to protect the throne.
Many merchants traveled from the capital to Zhenzhou, so news frequently came: at times saying the Emperor's illness wasn't serious, at other times saying the Emperor had already passed away, but the court hid the news to prevent public unrest.
Prince Qi's entry into the capital might be to inherit the throne.
