The first scroll of the classic, "Taiheiki" (Records of Great Peace), includes an account of the Shochu no Hen (Shochu Incident), depicting it as an overthrow plan disguised as "bureikou" (do as you please), and a story about Yorikazu TOKI, who was participating in the plan, leaking the rebellion plan to his wife who then betrayed them to the Rokuhara Tandai.
古典『太平記』で巻一に正中の変の顛末が記されており、無礼講と称して討幕計画や、計画に参加していた土岐頼員が妻に謀反の計画を漏らし、六波羅探題に事情を密告する話などが記されている。
