Campaign (1)

Two days after Ye Mei and her brother escaped, Emperor Yong Le convicted the Ye family of colluding with Lu Zhengchun and participating in the rebellion. The entire Ye family was wiped out. It was easier to deal with the Ye family than the Lu family. The Lu family was the Ye family's backer. If the Lu family fell, the Ye family would not be able to cause any trouble. Even though Ye Maocai had many connections and followers when he was alive, with Emperor Yong Le's ruthless methods, everyone was afraid of him and did not dare to be as rude as before.

Right after conviction, Ye Maocai was pulled out to be executed. Speaking of which, Ye Maocai was not all that innocent. From that stack of things Shen Miao obtained from Ye Mei, she chose something related to the royal family and handed it to Empress Xiande. In order to restrain the royal family, Ye Maocai secretly did a lot of things. This became important evidence to convict the Ye family.
