Of course, Xie Daoxun's rise to power was due to her talent and ability.
However, there is also an important reason.
That is, the former emperor of Wu wanted to use her as a knife to suppress the old aristocratic families of Wu.
Therefore, Xie Daoxun had absolute power in the court, and the old nobles felt the most uncomfortable.
The last time they joined forces with Nanchu to attack Gan, it was Xie Daoxun who made it happen.
However, both sides suffered losses.
It did not allow the Kingdom of Shu to gain much advantage.
Not only that, but because of Shu's stance, Wu lost two important cities and territories on the border.
This time, the four countries' attack on Gan was still the work of Xie Daoxun.
However, this is not a draw, and it is not a lose-lose situation.
But defeated.
The State of Yue did not even dare to send troops.
The four kingdoms' campaign against Gan eventually turned into the three kingdoms' campaign against Gan.
If the State of Yue dared to send troops.
at last.
It is absolutely impossible for Gan's army to withdraw troops from the eastern front and encircle the 60,000-strong army of Southern Chu without anyone noticing.
After this battle, Southern Chu suffered huge losses, and Wu also suffered considerable losses.
The entire national strength has been greatly affected.
This finally gave the old nobles an opportunity, an opportunity to strike a blow to Xie Daoxun's prestige.
Xie Daoxun is indeed omnipotent, but if there are more such attacks, her prestige will gradually weaken.
Just like now, in the entire court, all the old aristocratic families have united together and become as one.
Facing the old nobles.
This time, Xie Daoxun chose to take a step back.
She voluntarily resigned from the position of prime minister and also resigned from the other three prime ministerial seals.
In the court, she slowly took off her hat and then took out her seal.
"Your Majesty, I made many mistakes in this campaign of the four nations, which led to the loss of manpower and money, and ultimately to failure."
"I beg Your Majesty to take back my position as Prime Minister."
"Otherwise, I will not be able to explain myself to the court officials, the country and the people."
After saying this, she bowed and presented the hat and seal.
On the jade steps.
The ninth prince, who had become the new emperor, sat on the dragon throne.
Seeing this situation, a bit of panic suddenly appeared in his eyes.
On one side are the old nobles who are united as one.
On one side was Xie Daoxun, who played a stabilizing role in his ascension to the throne.
For a moment, he really didn't know what to do.
Although the old aristocracy is weak now, their influence is deeply rooted.
If you offend.
It is very difficult for me to sit firmly on the throne.
However, on the other side, we must not offend them even more.
This is the person who personally helped me to this position.
Although I feel very embarrassed.
Know that you can't afford to offend anyone.
But he understood one thing.
Now the choice is to weigh the two evils and choose the lesser one.
Therefore, he hesitated for only a blink of an eye before making a decision in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, he said quietly, "Mr. Prime Minister, you are too kind. How can this matter be blamed on the Prime Minister alone?"
"On the battlefield, things change rapidly. Moreover, in my opinion, the Yue Kingdom should be blamed for this matter."
"If the Kingdom of Yue had not hesitated, the Prime Minister's plan would never have failed!"
"Therefore, Lord Prime Minister, please stop saying such things."
"Before the late emperor passed away, he repeatedly told me to ask the Prime Minister to assist me."
"Could it be that after such a small setback, the Prime Minister will abandon me?"
"I have just ascended the throne, and everything still depends on the Prime Minister."
"I hope the Prime Minister will calm down and not be affected by a small failure. Continue to assist me."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the court officials.
"My dear ministers, the late emperor has passed away, and I have just ascended the throne. I am always treading on thin ice."
"I dare not make the slightest mistake."
"I am worried that I cannot bear the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by the late emperor."
"It is indeed frustrating that the Shikoku War failed."
"However, as I just said, this failure is not the failure of any one person."
"It was a combination of many factors that led to this result."
"What the Wu Kingdom needs now is unity, not to hold anyone accountable."
"I hope that all of you, my dear ministers, can unite closely and work together as one."
“This is the only way to overcome the difficulties as soon as possible.”
“Get the country back on track.”
"My dear ministers, you should know that if Da Gan recovers quickly, my Wu Kingdom will not be ready by then."
"Then we will completely become meat on the board."
Hearing what he said, the faces of all the old nobles turned ugly.
This little emperor must protect Xie Daoxun.
Among them, the leader of the Tian clan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is wrong."
"If we cannot receive rewards for our achievements and cannot be punished for our failures, then if this continues for a long time, won't the government be in chaos?"
"Your Majesty, please do not think this is a trivial matter."
"Even the Prime Minister himself knew this truth, so he took the initiative to propose to resign from the position of Prime Minister and hand over the seal."
"Your Majesty, this is to give an explanation to the people of the world."
"Mr. Prime Minister, although you have resigned from the position of Prime Minister, you still have other duties."
"I can still work for the court and for His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, why don't you fulfill the Prime Minister's wish?"
