《明史·列传·卷六十五》
军队覆灭在土木，众将大多逃回，叶盛率领同僚请求首先定皇帝侍从违法的罪行，并且挑选将领训练士兵，为复仇作准备。
师覆土木，诸将多遁还，盛率同列请先正扈从失律者罪，且选将练兵，为复仇计。
When the army was defeated at Tumu, most of the generals fled back. Ye Sheng led his colleagues to request the punishment of the emperor's attendants for their crimes and selected generals to train soldiers in preparation for revenge.
