Feeling the murderous intent in her eyes, everyone's anus couldn't help but tighten.
Although those old nobles were extremely unwilling, their momentum weakened.
They had seen Xie Daoxun's methods.
This time, the opportunity is really rare, otherwise they would not have jumped out like this.
They are not stupid. Forcing Xie Daoxun to this point is already a phased victory.
Although no one said anything, the failure of the four-nation expedition against Gan had already dealt a blow to Xie Daoxun's prestige.
The court was dismissed.
Xie Daoxun followed the new emperor to the Qianyuan Hall at the back.
The new emperor immediately said, "Prime Minister, why are you resigning today? You really scared me!"
Xie Daoxun said calmly: "Your Majesty, you should agree to it. This will make the old nobles feel more satisfied and they won't have more complaints about your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the new emperor said firmly, "To be honest with you, Prime Minister, I have indeed thought about this."
"But if I agree, the Prime Minister will be wronged!"
"The failure of the four countries' attack on Gan this time was not the fault of you alone, Prime Minister."
"There is a limit to human disrespect. Prime Minister, although you wear the seals of the four countries, you do not have much control over the other three countries."
"It is precisely for this reason that the Kingdom of Yue has been unwilling to send troops to fight against Dagan."
“There are too many variables.”
Xie Daoxun said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty, but we have been preparing for so long this time."
"I was the one who made this happen. If it fails, I should take the responsibility."
The new emperor shook his head firmly and said, "I don't want the Prime Minister to suffer any injustice."
"So, if the old nobles have any complaints, let them have them."
"I don't care!"
Hearing the other party say this, Xie Daoxun's eyes moved slightly.
He nodded slightly, showing no joy at all.
"I thank your Majesty!"
"If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave now!"
"Okay, let's go, Prime Minister!"
Xie Daoxun bowed and then turned and left Qianyuan Hall.
Just now in the court, she could feel the difficulty of the decision made by the new emperor.
This was something she did on purpose.
She just wanted to see what choice the new emperor would make when faced with this situation.
She saw the new emperor's dilemma.
In the end, the other party stood on her side.
This did not come as a surprise to her.
What surprised her a little was.
This dilemma, this entanglement, did not exist for long.
Almost in a moment, the new emperor made his decision.
This satisfied her.
Of course, this doesn't mean that standing on her side will make her satisfied.
But it was because the new emperor had very little time to make a choice.
This shows that my original choice was not wrong.
She did not misjudge him, and neither did the late emperor.
If that's the case, then there's no problem.
…
Yue State, the imperial capital.
Emperor Yongping and his court officials were discussing whether to continue sending envoys to Dagan.
Before this, they had sent envoys to Dagan twice in succession, hoping to reconcile with Dagan.
However, after the two groups of envoys arrived in the capital of Dagan and stayed at the posthouse, they seemed to have been forgotten.
There was no one to receive them.
No one had ever told them when they could meet Her Majesty the Queen of Dagan.
It's like it has become a transparent existence.
After a long delay, the two groups of envoys finally had to return to the State of Yue together.
Being treated like this, two different voices emerged in the court of Yue State.
One voice believes that envoys should continue to be sent to Dagan to establish a peace alliance with Dagan.
Another voice believes that Da Gan is now weak and since it does not want to pay attention to Yue State, Yue State does not have to bow down to it.
It's definitely possible to be tougher.
Because Da Gan is now too exhausted to do anything to the Kingdom of Yue.
The current focus of the State of Yue is to resolve the coastal pirates as soon as possible.
This is the most important thing.
Emperor Yongfeng sat on the dragon throne, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "My dear ministers, what you said makes sense."
"According to my opinion, we still need to send envoys to continue visiting and doing great things!"
"First, it shows my intentions of the Yue Kingdom."
"Give Da Gan enough face."
"If the third time doesn't work, then try the fourth time. If the fourth time doesn't work, then try the fifth time."
"In addition, all focus should be placed on dealing with the pirates."
"Mobilize all resources and wipe out all the pirates in three months!"
Everyone said yes.
…
Shu Kingdom.
In the Empress's palace.
King Xiaoyao said: "Your Majesty, I am old and can no longer continue to fight for Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please appoint me as the new commander of the entire army."
The Empress of Shu said: "Uncle, victory and defeat are common in the military, not to mention that we lost to Zhao Hao."
"Uncle, even Xie Daoxun couldn't get any advantage from him."
“You don’t have to take it to heart!”
"You are still strong and healthy. It is a little too early to retire now."
King Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why I resigned is not just because of failure."
The Empress of Shu was surprised and asked, "Why?"
King Xiaoyao said, "Your Majesty, in fact, after so many years of commanding the army, I have long felt that it is time to step down."
