After convincing the emperor of Liu's treachery, Liu was ejected from office, and Hu Weiyong was promoted. 452:
Within five years of Liu's death, the man who had slandered Liu in order to hold office, Hu Weiyong, was himself suspected of plotting against the Hongwu Emperor. In the subsequent orgy of the emperor's paranoid efforts to root out conspiracy, 30,000–40,000 people were executed.
