有詔訊鞫，林甫使楊慎矜、楊國忠、王鉷、吉溫等文致其獄，帝惑之，貶堅縉雲太守，惟明播川太守，籍其家。 The emperor ordered an investigation. Li Linfu set Yang Shenjin, Yang Guozhong, Wang Hong, Ji Wen, and others to fabricate the case. Misled, the emperor demoted Wei Jian to prefect of Jinyun and Huangfu Weiming to prefect of Bochuan, and had their families' property seized.
