The rebels brutally killed his two sons and a daughter, and then all his family. Mirza e-dui led more than ten people to Beijing and asked the imperial court to send troops to fight the rebellion. After the rebellion of xiaohezhuo and xiaohezhuo was put down, Emperor Qianlong ordered people to draw a picture of Mirza Erdui and hang it in the Jinguang Pavilion of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Later, in solving the Hotan problem, Mirza e risked his life and went to Hotan City alone to be a lobbyist for the imperial court. He made an extraordinary contribution at the critical moment. Milza ahemati, the seventh generation prince, was praised by Emperor Xianfeng for his dedication to copper plant management.
