Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 557 Demoting officials and cutting power 5
A school lieutenant didn't have the guts to ask His Majesty to execute King Xuanwu, so Xiao Heng targeted the entire Wei family without hesitation!
Old General Wei has retired, and the Wei family continues to occupy a very high position in the court because of Hussar General Wei Ziyi. Guan Xin felt emotional.

The prime minister, Han Yunzhi, never thought that the emperor would make such decisions one after another after Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao was executed. , summoned Han Yunzhi.

Xiao Heng was reviewing the memorials sent over these days, and seeing Han Yunzhi's audience, he did not put down his pen until Chen Rong, the eunuch in charge, said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is here..."

Xiao Heng responded lightly, then put down his pen, and turned his eyes to Han Yunzhi: "Han Aiqing, I have already read the brochure you handed over..."

Han Yunzhi nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I have come here for Shen Shangshu and the Wei family. They are all meritorious ministers. How can the emperor be relegated?"

Xiao Heng seemed to have expected Han Yunzhi to say this long ago, took a sip from his teacup, and said quietly: "I have always been very clear about rewards and punishments, even if they have merit, they can't make up for it..."

Han Yunzhi frowned slightly, shook his head and retorted: "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what happened between Shen Shangshu and Hussar General Wei Ziyi, so that the Emperor Longyan was furious!"

A stern light flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes, and he looked straight at Han Yunzhi, but Han Yunzhi was unmoved, nor did he show any fear because of the stern light in Xiao Heng's eyes.

Xiao Heng stared at Han Yunzhi for a long while, before he said lightly: "Someone told me that the housekeeper in Shen Rui's house gave money without permission, Han Aiqing, tell me, is this an exaggeration?"

"This..." Han Yunzhi faintly heard about this matter, and also heard that Shen Rui had kicked out the butler a long time ago. He didn't expect that this matter would finally reach the ears of the emperor, let alone that the emperor would use this old matter to settle accounts !

"Shen Shangshu is the one who abides by my Dayin's laws the most. In order to treat everyone equally, I certainly can't cover it up..." Seeing that Han Yunzhi seemed to have nothing to refute, Xiao Heng's lips curled into a mocking sneer.

Han Yunzhi was silent for a moment, and then persuaded: "It is not Shen Shangshu's relatives who can lend money, but the housekeeper of Shangshu's house. Shen Shangshu has already punished the housekeeper and did not disregard Dayin's laws. Should the emperor consider it at his own discretion?"

"The family is injustice, so why handle the government affairs well?" Xiao Heng's cold words completely sealed off Han Yunzhi's way to continue defending Shen Rui!
Han Yunzhi wanted to say something else, but Xiao Heng didn't give him another chance. He looked at Han Yunzhi thoughtfully, and said quietly: "Han Aiqing, I made you the prime minister at the beginning because I wanted you to balance the balance between the court and the government. Send forces! Now that the Wei family has too much military power, it is inevitable that they will be proud. I made such a decision to ensure the stability of the court, and you can't take sides just because your wife's surname is Wei!"

When Xiao Heng said this, he paused for a moment, and reminded again: "You have to remember, you are my prime minister, and the one you want to serve is also the Dayin Dynasty that I built!"

Han Yunzhi was shocked, knowing that if he spoke for the Wei family again, it would only make the emperor more dissatisfied, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I will devote myself to the Dayin Dynasty!"
