After the case of Liu Yan's murder came to light, several Imperial Censors from the Imperial Censorate, led by Xie Zhang, submitted memorials to the court, reporting all the outrageous acts committed by Yongping over the years. On the other hand, Xu Yin also received two memorials impeaching him for not managing his household strictly and for condoning his servants' misdeeds.
However, as Xu Yin had a good attitude of admitting his fault, the Emperor did not impose severe punishment, only instructing him to reflect on his actions and fining him half a year's salary.
