Bab 1072: Chapter 70: Suppressing the Second Rank! Planning against the Emperor's Son_2

"Therefore, I formally request your Majesty to permit my resignation from the position of Prime Minister. I ask for your gracious approval."

Resigning as Prime Minister?

Prince Dede was stunned.

Zhao Hongbo really was decisive enough to take such a harsh step.

For thousands of years, the greatest prestige and power of the Second Class Zhao Clan came from having a Duke and a Prime Minister in the family.

The position of Duke is a legacy from the ancestors, representing the prestige of the Zhao Clan, but the Prime Minister holds actual power. It is under this power that the Zhao Clan had flourished and reached its current zenith of prosperity.

Emperor Longchang also furrowed his brow slightly.

Even though he had been somewhat displeased with the Zhao Clan and had feelings of irritation towards Zhao Hongbo in recent days, he had never truly considered stripping Zhao Hongbo of his powers as the Prime Minister.
