Facts have proven that the Emperor's suspicion and caution are not groundless worries.
The Kou Family and Prince Cheng's Mansion together intervened in the Lianghuai Salt Field affairs, and placed the full blame of corruption on Minister Yin.
Of course, Minister Yin was not a virtuous official himself, but while others managed to escape unscathed, only he was left to take the fall. This left Minister Yin feeling extremely unbalanced, so even amidst threats from both Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Loyal and Righteous Marquis Mansion, Minister Yin confided in the Emperor and revealed the truth before his death.
Anyway, his close relatives had already been implicated and exiled because of him, so he wasn't concerned about distant kin anymore.
Saying they'd take care of his exiled wife and children, how is that possible?
