Following Prince Hui's arrest, the rebellion in Monan was quickly subdued, and the rebel army leaders, Prince Hui's two sons, were escorted to The Capital.
The families of Prince Hui, who had been hiding in a private residence in Changzhou, were also secretly escorted back to The Capital, including the newborn baby.
Given Prince Hui's special status and his 'death' many years ago, spreading the news would inevitably lead to a royal scandal. Therefore, the Emperor publicly declared that Prince Hui's illegitimate sons had conspired with Prince Jing and Long Yisi to betray their country (all three military leaders from the Xiliang troops were captured alive), plotting a rebellion. By imperial decree, the case was referred to the Three Departments for trial according to the law. At the same time, Prince Hui was posthumously stripped of his royal status, and his 'remains' were moved out of the Imperial Mausoleum to save the royal family's reputation from disgrace.
