After Zhu Di, the King of Yan, invaded Nanjing, he established himself as emperor, and Sheng Yong led the rest of his troops to surrender, and was immediately ordered to garrison Huai'an and watch for his former comrade-in-arms Tie Xuan, who was still dead in Shandong. After Tie Xuan was caught by Ling Chi, Zhu Di issued an edict to Sheng Yong, saying: "Before Shandong was undecided, that's why I ordered you to guard Huai'an. Now That Tie Hyun has been captured, all the counties have been pacified. Shandong has long been trapped by military turmoil and is tired of transferring losses. You should raise the soldiers and the people, so that it is in line with my wishes. ”

Soon, Wang Qin of Qianhu gave Zhu Di a recital, in which he listed a bunch of crimes committed by Sheng Yong since the Jianwen Dynasty against Zhu Di, and asked Zhu Di to punish him, Zhu Di did not accept Wang Qin's performance, but promoted Wang Qin to be the conductor of Tongzhi, and the imperial envoy Chen Ying also took the opportunity to impeach Sheng Yong for resentment and plotting against him.
After Sheng Yong heard about Wang Qin and Chen Ying's impeachment of himself, he remembered the experience of his old colleague Tie Xuan and others, and realized that Zhu Di did not completely let himself go, and only self-determination was the real way out, so he committed suicide and died.
Sheng Yong was deeply favored by Emperor Jianwen, but finally surrendered to Zhu Di, Yu Jieyi was indebted, and after his death, he should be ashamed of Emperor Jianwen, let alone face Tie Xuan and others, he wanted to endure humiliation and steal his life, or he could not avoid death, but his family was thus saved, after Sheng Yong's death, his family was not implicated in any way, and his grandson Shengyu was later recruited as a donkey.
