事覺，帝怒，命敬羽窮治，殺尚言，以其肉賜從官，罷諲為太子賓客。 When the affair was exposed the emperor was furious, ordered Jing Yu to investigate thoroughly, executed Shangyan, gave his flesh to attending officials, and dismissed Yin to guest of the heir apparent.

帝不省，賜承鼎死，流郢建州。 The emperor would not listen; he sentenced Chengding to death and exiled Ying to Jianzhou.

揆恐帝復用，即妄奏置軍湖南非便，又陰遣人刺諲過失。 Kui feared the emperor would recall him and falsely memorialized that establishing an army in Hunan was inadvisable; he also secretly sent men to probe Yin's faults.

諲上疏訟其事，帝怒，逐揆出之，顯條其罪。 Yin submitted a memorial pleading his case; the emperor was angry, drove Kui out, and openly listed his crimes.
