同知延安尹李惟忠，與熙宗弑逆，構殺韓王亨，世宗疏斥之。 Li Weizhong, Vice Director of Yan'an, had taken part in the plot that murdered Xizong and had engineered the death of Prince of Han Hen; Shizong had cast him aside.

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.

惟忠曰：「惟忠嘗為神翼軍總管，有兩銀牌尚在，可以矯發內藏賞士。 Li Weizhong said: "I was once chief of the Divine Wing Army and still hold two silver plaques—I can forge orders to pay out the inner treasury's bounty to the troops.

惟忠旆說高松，高松不聽，語在《松傳》。 Li Weizhong went to win over Gao Song, but Gao Song refused—the story is told in the Biography of Song.

乙亥夜，召斡論、惟忠、斡里朵、璋、布輝會其家，沃窟刺以兵赴之，璋曰：「今不高松軍，事不可成矣。」 That night, on yihai, he called Wolun, Li Weizhong, Wolidu, Zhang, and Buhui to his home. Wokulu came with soldiers. Zhang said: "Without Gao Song's troops, this cannot be done."

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.

遂誅斡論、惟忠、斡里朵、沃窟刺等，其沃窟刺下謀克士卒皆釋之。 Wolun, Li Weizhong, Wolidu, Wokulu, and the others were put to death; the company-command soldiers under Wokulu were all released.
