可喜阿瑣宗敏本名阿魯補元宗峻子，本名常勝 Kexi, A Suo, Zong Min (born Alubu); Yuan, son of Zong Jun, born Changsheng.

子阿鄰、可喜、阿瑣。 His sons were Alin, Kexi, and A Suo.

爽棄妻子來奔，與弟忻州刺史可喜，俱至中都。 Shuang left wife and children behind and fled to join him; with his brother Kexi, prefect of Xin, he entered Zhongdu.

可喜，以宗室子，累官唐括部族節度使，降忻州刺史。 Kexi, of the imperial clan, rose to military commissioner of the Tangguo tribal command, then was demoted to prefect of Xin.

海陵遣使殺之，可喜聞世宗即位，即棄州來歸，與其兄歸化州刺史阿鄰會於中都。 Hailing sent men to kill him. Hearing that Shizong had taken the throne, Kexi abandoned his post and fled in; he met his elder brother Alin, prefect of Guihua, at Zhongdu.

是時，弟阿瑣權中都留守事，可喜謂阿鄰曰：「阿瑣愚戇，恐不能撫治，欲少留以助之。」 A Suo was then acting protector of Zhongdu. Kexi said to Alin, "A Suo is slow and blunt; I doubt he can hold the city. Let me stay a while to help him."

可喜留中都，聞世宗發東京，乃迎見於麻吉鋪。 Kexi remained at Zhongdu; when he heard the emperor had left Dongjing, he went out to meet him at Majipu.

可喜材武過人，狠戾好亂，自乙太祖孫，頗有異志。 Kexi was fierce in battle beyond others, cruel and eager for disorder; as a grandson of Taizu, he nursed no small designs.

於是可喜、斡論、李惟忠、斡里朵、璋、布輝謀，欲因扈從軍士怨望作亂。 Then Kexi, Wolun, Li Weizhong, Wolidu, Zhang, and Buhui conspired to turn the grumbling of the emperor's escort troops into open rebellion.

大定二年正月甲戌，上謁山陵，可喜中道稱疾而歸。 In the second year of Dading, on jiaxu of the first month, the emperor went to the imperial tombs. Kexi, midway, claimed illness and turned back.

可喜、璋、布輝乃擒斡論、惟忠、斡里朵、沃窟刺，詣有司自首。 Kexi, Zhang, and Buhui then seized Wolun, Li Weizhong, Wolidu, and Wokulu and surrendered themselves to the officials.

既下詔獄，可喜不肯自言其始謀，及與斡論面質，然後款伏。 After they were committed to the imperial prison, Kexi would not admit the original plot of his own accord; only when he was confronted with Wolun did he confess everything.

詔罪止可喜一身，其兄弟子孫皆不緣坐。 An edict fixed guilt on Kexi alone; brothers, sons, and grandsons would not be punished by association.
