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.

元妃烏古論氏生梁王宗弼、衛王宗強、蜀王宗敏。 Primary consort Lady Wugulun bore Prince Liang Zong Bi, Prince Wei Zong Qiang, and Prince Shu Zong Min.

宗敏，本名阿魯補。 Zong Min—born Alubu.

天眷元年，封邢王。 In Tianjuan year 1 he was enfeoffed Prince of Xing.

再遷太保，領三省事，兼左副元帥，領行台尚書省事，封曹國王。 He was again made Grand Preceptor, headed the Three Departments, served as Left Vice Commander-in-Chief, directed the Mobile Court Secretariat, and was enfeoffed Prince of Cao.

海陵謀弑立，畏宗敏尊且材勇，欲構誣以除之。 When Hailing plotted murder and usurpation, he feared Zong Min—high in rank, brave and capable—and meant to frame him and destroy him.

時熙宗屢殺大臣，宗敏憂之，謂海陵曰：「主上喜殘殺，而國家事重，奈何。」 In those days Xizong was slaughtering ministers one after another. Zong Min, uneasy, said to Hailing: "The sovereign delights in bloodshed, yet the realm hangs in the balance—what can be done?"

宗敏言時，適左右無人，海陵將以此為指斥構害之，自念無證不可發，乃止。 No one else was near when he spoke. Hailing nearly seized on the words as lese-majeste and moved to destroy him, but saw he had no proof and held back.

及弑熙宗，使葛王宗敏。 After he killed Xizong, he had the Prince of Ge summon Zong Min.

宗敏聞海陵召，疑懼不敢往。 When Zong Min heard Hailing summon him, he was afraid and did not dare go.

宗敏入宮，海陵欲殺之，尚猶豫，以問左右。 Zong Min entered the palace. Hailing meant to kill him but still wavered, and asked his attendants what to do.

乃使僕散忽土殺之，忽土刃擊宗敏，宗敏左右走避，膚發血肉，狼藉遍地。 He sent Pusan Hutu to do it. Hutu hacked at Zong Min; his attendants scattered. Flesh and blood lay heaped across the floor.

葛王見殺宗敏，問於眾曰：「國王何罪而死？」 The Prince of Ge saw Zong Min slain and asked those present: "What crime had the Kingdom Prince, that he should die?"

天德三年，海陵追封宗敏為太師，進封爵。 In Tiande year 3 Hailing posthumously made Zong Min Grand Preceptor and raised his title of nobility.
