四年正月，高宗崩，給事中王念孫首劾其不法狀，仁宗即以宣遺詔日傳旨逮治，命王大臣會鞫，俱得實。 In the first month of the fourth year Gaozong died. Supervising Secretary Wang Niansun was the first to impeach He Shen's unlawful conduct. On the very day the mourning edict was proclaimed, the Jiaqing Emperor issued orders for his arrest and trial. Princes and ministers jointly investigated, and all charges were verified.
