Among his sons-in-law, the Hongwu Emperor held Mei in particularly high regard and entrusted him with assisting his grandson and successor, the Jianwen Emperor. When Mei Yin's brother-in-law Zhu Di, Prince of Yan, launched a rebellion against the Jianwen Emperor, the Emperor ordered Mei to defend Huai'an against the advancing rebel forces and refused to allow them passage through the city on their way to Nanjing. After Zhu Di seized the throne, Mei fell out of imperial favor due to his loyalty to the Jianwen Emperor. In 1405, while on his way to the imperial palace, Mei was pushed from a bridge in Nanjing by two officers and drowned. Afterwards, they falsely reported that Mei had committed suicide.
