廣順三年春卒，其子紹基匿喪久之，又擅主軍政，欲邀承襲。 He died in the spring of the third year of Guangshun. His son Shaoji concealed the death for a long time, seized control of military affairs, and sought to secure the succession for himself.

紹基與群小等惡其異議，乃殺彬，紿奏云：「彬結構內外，謀殺都指揮使及行軍副使，自據城池，已誅戮訖，其妻子及諸房骨肉，尋令捕系次。」 Shaoji and his cronies hated his opposition and killed him. They submitted a false report claiming, "Bin plotted with insiders and outsiders to murder the chief commander and campaign deputy and seize the city on his own. He has been executed, and his wife, children, and all collateral kin will soon be arrested."

後朝廷令六宅使張仁謙往巡檢，紹基乃發喪以聞。 Later the court sent the Six Residences commissioner Zhang Renqian to inspect the circuit. Only then did Shaoji announce his father's death.
