I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Once Feng Guochang left, the case could no longer be tried.

Liu Fangzheng looked at Xie Xingyuan and asked him what to do next.

Xie Xingyuan only glanced at the file in front of him, which was a signal for him to handle the matter impartially.

Afterwards, Xie Xingyuan and Minister He walked out of the court together.

When they reached a secluded place, Minister He straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to Xie Xingyuan: "Your Majesty, I, He Songyi, will remember this!"

As a second-rank official of the current dynasty, Shangshu He usually ignores everyone and has never said such soft words to anyone.

But today, he said it.

Xie Xingyuan's behavior today seemed strange, but others could not understand the deep meaning behind it, but he, the person involved, understood it.

Xie Xingyuan's incident today was a severe wake-up call to Feng Guochang.

It was to tell Feng Guochang that what he had done had been exposed.

They no longer hid the matter, nor did they secretly look for spies, nor did they guard against anyone. Instead, they just put the matter out in the open.

Now that everything has been laid bare, Feng Guochang will need to think carefully before doing anything else.

You know, there is still a pregnant woman in the He family, and Kong Miaowen hasn't given birth yet.

This time they dared to send assassins when Zhao Simin gave birth, so next time, they will dare to burn down He’s house.

There is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days in this world.

Otherwise, living under such pressure and fear, the people in the He family will go crazy sooner or later.

Xie Xingyuan made such a fuss just to deliberately drag the affairs of the He Mansion onto Feng Guochang.

Now, if anything goes wrong with the people in the He Mansion again, the first person to be suspected will be Feng Guochang.

Under such circumstances, Feng Guochang naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Then, they could only watch Kong Miaowen give birth to the child.

To put it bluntly, although the situation today was very tense, it was of great benefit to the He family.

It doesn’t mean that the He family will no longer have to be on guard from now on, but the pressure of being on guard will be less.

The string in your mind that has been taut can be relaxed with this opportunity.

In this case, how could Minister He not be grateful?

Xie Xingyuan was very polite and directly lifted up Minister He: "You and I were friends regardless of age difference in the past, and I once respected you as my elder brother. In this case, there is no need for us to talk about gratitude or ingratitude."

"Then how are you going to deal with His Majesty?" Minister He said with a worried look on his face.

If it was just Feng Guochang alone, he wouldn't be that scary, but the problem was that there were many people in the Duke's Mansion serving as officials. These people were distributed in various government offices in the court, and many of them held important positions. From now on, they would meet each other every day. If they took the opportunity to trip up Xie Xingyuan, it would be hard to guard against.

Moreover, Feng Guochang was Concubine Xian's elder brother, so he could be considered a royal relative.

He was bullied, and Concubine Xian would not let it go.

Concubine Xian has the sixth prince, who is fifteen years old this year.

If you think about it more carefully, the Sixth Prince may inherit the throne in the future.

If this were the case, Xie Xingyuan would be in a bad situation.

Compared to Minister He's worry, Xie Xingyuan was calm and composed: "When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There's nothing to be afraid of. Oh, by the way, how is your grandson?"

"Thanks to you, my grandson is doing fine. Thanks to Dr. Cui's careful care, my grandson didn't get hurt at all. Our whole He family is very grateful to Dr. Cui..."

Minister He was speaking excitedly when Xie Xingyuan said, "You are wrong."

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Xie Xingyuan corrected him, "It's not because of me, it's because of Doctor Cui. You're wrong about that."

After listening, Minister He looked at Xie Xingyuan unhappily and thought, what time is it now, and you are still here correcting me?

While you're at it, think about whether you can still keep your throne.

Xie Xingyuan didn't think about that, he just corrected her: "Please repeat what you just said. You are not thanks to me, but to Doctor Cui."

"Yes, yes, it's not thanks to you, but thanks to Doctor Cui." Minister He said obediently with good temper.

Xie Xingyuan was satisfied: "Okay, get busy, I'm going to the palace."

Minister He grabbed his sleeve and, seeing that there was no one around, said in a voice that couldn't be any quieter: "Our emperor hates it most when someone plays tricks on him. When you meet the emperor, don't think about playing tricks on him, just say what needs to be said directly."

It is a taboo to guess the emperor's intention.

Telling others what you have guessed about the emperor's intention is equivalent to handing over your own handle, which is the biggest taboo among taboos.

But He Shangshu, a veteran official, committed two major taboos in a row.

But I did it willingly.

Xie Xingyuan accepted his kindness and whispered, "Thanks, brother."

These words almost made Minister He burst into tears.

Back then, he and Xie Xingyuan were close friends regardless of age difference. They could talk about anything. Although there was an age difference of more than 30 years between them, they called each other brothers back then.

"Let's go quickly, old brother!" After saying that, Minister He felt a little embarrassed and pushed Xie Xingyuan.

Xie Xingyuan smiled knowingly, jumped on his horse, and headed towards the palace.

He is a king of a different surname and of the highest rank, and is qualified to meet His Majesty at any time.

After receiving the notification, Xie Xingyuan and others were outside the Qinzheng Hall.

At this time, voices of accusation were heard from the Qinzheng Hall. Who else could it be but that old dog Feng Guochang?

Not long after, the eunuch Yang Defu, who was beside His Majesty, came out.

He flicked the whisk in his hand, with his signature smile on his face: "Your Majesty, His Majesty invites you in."

"Okay." Xie Xingyuan responded and followed Eunuch Yang into the Qinzheng Hall.

In the Qinzheng Hall, Feng Guochang was crying out of breath.

Xie Xingyuan rolled his eyes at him. He didn't expect that this old guy had such a side to him.

When it comes to crying, he really can't compare to Feng Guochang.

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu snorted coldly and asked, "My dear Xie, do you know your crime?"

Xie Xingyuan shook his head in confusion: "Your Majesty, please explain clearly. I don't know where I am guilty."

"You are such a jerk, Xie Xingyuan! Lord Feng complained bitterly about you for attacking him and throwing dirty water on him, but you pushed it away without hesitation!"

"Your Majesty, I did not believe that this was done by Duke Feng, so I asked him to swear an oath. However, he refused. His refusal to swear an oath is a big problem."

Emperor Zhaowu showed a trace of suspicion in his eyes: "Lord Feng, you only need to swear an oath to solve the problem, why are you unwilling to do it?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to swear this oath, but I can't swear this oath. I haven't done anything, but I have to swear for this matter, which always feels a bit strange. I'm even more afraid that if I swear this oath, the shit pot will be put on my head."

Xie Xingyuan struck while the iron was hot and said, "Your Majesty, you have seen it. Just now in the Dali Temple, Duke Feng was also making a fuss and finding all kinds of excuses, but he just refused to swear an oath. I have reason to suspect that he dare not swear an oath."

"Your Majesty, I don't have any!"

Emperor Zhaowu glanced at him, his eyes calm and calm: "Then you swear an oath."
