Does your husband only love his wife?I turned around and left the house to marry a villain

Xie Ci's case had already become well-known far and wide, and it was obvious that someone was trying to use the common people to put pressure on Gu Changning.

This incident affected the entire society. The common people at the bottom hated the rich and hated corrupt officials even more. In addition, Xie Ci was the general who led the Yan soldiers to attack the Chen State. Once the incident broke out, no one from the Chen State supported Xie Ci.

The location was wrong, the timing was wrong, and the person was wrong. Xie Ci was holding a priceless underground treasure, which undoubtedly attracted the evil of monks from all directions. The negative impact was too great, and Gu Changning should really take action to deal with this matter.

Gu Changning took the confession that He Yuanzhou had investigated and said to him, "You are right. I should punish the general as much as possible. I will think about how to deal with this case later. You can leave first."

He Yuanzhou was disappointed because he did not hear Gu Changning's verdict of execution in person: "Is the emperor worried that the general is the elder brother of the queen?"

Gu Changning raised his eyes to look at He Yuanzhou and sighed, "Lord He, as an emperor, I cannot do whatever I want. The general's behavior has angered the people, and even I cannot stand it, but you have to give me some time. The people of Chen hope to kill the general as soon as possible, but the people of our Yan country do not believe the general's behavior. They firmly believe that there are traitors who are trying to murder the general. Some even say that I cannot tolerate the general because his achievements are too great. Now that Chen country is dead and the general is no longer needed, I will kill him. It's so ugly to say that I will kill him and be worthy of the people of Chen, but how can the people of Yan country explain to me? You should go back and think of a win-win plan that can satisfy the people of Chen country and avoid turmoil in Yan country."

He Yuanzhou listened very carefully and did not think there was anything wrong with the question raised by Gu Changning. The Xie family had a far-reaching influence in Yan State, and all the soldiers led by Xie Ci were loyal to Xie Ci. Once someone fanned the flames, civil strife might break out.

But He Yuanzhou couldn’t care less about all that. What he wanted was… chaos.

The messier the better.

The emperor will keep using him only when things get chaotic.

Once the country is pacified, there will be no way for He Yuanzhou to survive.

He saw through Gu Changning clearly. The emperor's heart was only on the side of the empress. As for his subjects, if anyone disobeyed him, he would find a reason to kill him.

He Yuanzhou understood from the beginning that he was just a pawn in the emperor's weighing of political power.

"Go away first." Gu Changning pretended to be troubled and rubbed his eyebrows.

He Yuanzhou said: "If the emperor is afraid of civil unrest in Yan, he can arrange for Second Master Xie to enter the military camp to appease the Xie family army and stabilize the army's morale. The rest of the things will be easy to handle."

"Well, let me think about it first."

"Then I will take my leave first." He Yuanzhou bowed and turned to leave the palace.

Xie Jinyu and Xie Jinyun walked out of the inner room.

In front of Xie Jinyun, Gu Changning burned the confession handed over by He Yuanzhou.

Under his memorial, there was another confession, which was the inside information that Xie Jinyu found out during his secret investigation, and also the list of the masterminds behind Xie Ci's frame-up.

Gu Changning pushed the list in front of Xie Jinyu and said, "Take my token and the list, go to the prison and bring the general out first, then let the general arrest people according to the list."

Xie Jinyun was stunned for a moment, then walked over to Gu Changning and said, "You want to let my brother go?"

"It was I who sent someone to deliver the key to the general, and it was also I who asked the general to keep the treasure in the underground palace as start-up funds for the later repair and reconstruction of the war-torn areas. The general is innocent." Gu Changning's few words changed the fate of Xie Ci.

However, Gu Changning's decision is far from enough to calm the grievances of the people of Chen State.

"After the general is released from prison, soup kitchens will be set up in various parts of Chen State to provide aid and assistance to the people who have lost their homes in the war. The corrupt officials in Chen State's internal affairs will be arrested, paraded through the streets, and beheaded. These things must be done quickly and with great fanfare."

When Gu Changning issued the order, his eyes shone with a sharp light: "The reason why the people of Chen are so resentful is that in recent years, Chen's internal affairs have been corrupt, corrupt officials are rampant, taxes are heavy, the people are hungry, and the king is indifferent to the suffering of the people. In addition, the suffering of war has caused many people to be displaced. The general's case just hits the pain point of the people."

"The people have found an outlet for their anger, and with the help of Chen's internal officials who are secretly fanning the flames, the two forces combined have made the general a sinner of Chen. These people behind the scenes just want to see me kill the general of Yan here. If I follow the situation in Chen and kill Xie Ci, the dominance of Chen in the future will be in the hands of these people behind the scenes. So, no matter what, the general must survive. He must not be used as a knife by He Yuanzhou to take possession of my wife, nor can he become a victim in the political arena."

After Gu Changning finished speaking, he took out the black token and said, "Go to the prison immediately and pass on my order to take the general out of prison. Have him return to the team as soon as possible to arrest the traitors of Chen State. Those who surrender to our Great Yan will not be killed. Those who do not surrender to Great Yan, regardless of gender, will be killed!"

……

"grown ups."

As soon as He Yuanzhou returned to the He family, his guards came to report: "The emperor sent the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to release the general from prison."

"What did you say?" He Yuanzhou's face changed drastically.

The Supervisory Department guard said: "It is absolutely true. Several of the general's personal guards came to the prison with armor and horses to greet us. It was a grand ceremony."

He Yuanzhou's face darkened.

He clenched his hands tightly, turned around and walked out of the He family. He saw with his own eyes Xie Ci walking out of the prison in armor, and then he led his personal soldiers into one towering mansion after another, taking away high-ranking officials of the Chen State and powerful aristocratic families.

These people were the last force of Chen State resisting Yan State. Xie Ci led his soldiers to crush them forcefully. Those who refused to obey or held weapons were executed on the spot.

Their bodies were dragged out of the mansion by Xie's army without any covering and paraded through the streets.

The common people who had suffered from the oppression of the rulers and ministers of the Chen Kingdom finally had an outlet for their anger. They picked up rubble and threw it at the cages, cursing to vent their grievances.

Gu Changning's swift and decisive measures frightened the other small families of Chen State who were waiting and watching the situation.

Before this, they had never taken this man, who had been held hostage in Chen State for ten years, seriously.

In addition, when Gu Changning came to the territory of Chen Kingdom, his heart was on Xie Jinyun, who had been sleeping for two months at the time, and he did not make any decision on state affairs. Now he has made a big move, which has shocked some of the remnants of Chen Kingdom so much that they dared not move, and even trembled.

The military forces of Chen State had been dispersed long ago. How could it rely on the private soldiers and secret guards raised by the aristocratic families to resist the millions of lions of Yan State?

In just a few days, the Chen Kingdom's noble families, which had suffered a bloody storm, fell into an unprecedented peace...
