At that time, Mirza e'dui, who was the local official of Kuqa, Aksu and Baicheng, resolutely opposed secession and safeguarded the reunification of the motherland in the face of the coercion and inducement of the rebels. 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. In 1864, in the third year of Tongzhi, the "Islamic jihadists" rebellion appeared in Kuqa. The rebels forced Mirza Ahmadi to be their leader. He would rather die than follow.

Although the palace has been buried in the dust of history, dawuti mehsuti, the last prince, died of illness in July 2014 at the age of 88.
