After several rounds, several people figured out the secret.
After Jiang Qiulu won a few games in the beginning, he began to lose more and win less.
I have to say that these people's learning ability is really fast.
Especially Concubine De, who usually looks weak, now looks like a killer killing everyone.
"Ahem, Eunuch Li, you can play with them."
After Jiang Qiulu lost several games in a row, he lost all the money in front of him.
So he pulled Li Mingzhi over and ran out alone.
After going out, Jiang Qiulu happened to meet Di Yunhao.
"Your Majesty, you are..."
Seeing Jiang Qiulu walking out in embarrassment, Di Yunhao couldn't help but wonder.
"Ah, it's okay."
"Go in, I'll go out and get some air." Jiang Qiulu said.
"I'll accompany you." Di Yunhao immediately followed Jiang Qiulu.
Walking in the palace, Jiang Qiulu felt deeply melancholy when he saw lanterns and colorful lights everywhere.
I don’t know what’s going on in the other world, whether it’s as busy preparing for the holidays as it is now.
Unknowingly, Jiang Qiulu and the others had left the palace.
The scene outside is more grand than inside the palace.
In order not to cause a sensation, Jiang Qiulu chose to return to the palace.
"Let's go back."
The two hung out for a while.
After the two returned to the Tai Chi Hall, Jiang Qiulu spotted a familiar figure kneeling in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
Jiang Qiulu looked closer and saw that it was Guo Xiaosen.
"What does Mr. Guo mean?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
"Your Majesty, I have the courage to plead with you for something."
After Guo Xiaosen finished speaking, he kowtowed his head.
Jiang Qiulu felt confused for a while, wondering what Guo Xiaosen wanted from him.
"Guo Xiangping, please go to bed."
"Go into the palace and talk."
Later, Jiang Qiulu took people to the imperial study room.
"Please tell me what Prime Minister Guo wants from me," Jiang Qiulu asked.
"Your Majesty, I have made all kinds of heinous mistakes."
"Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, I have a kind heart and did not chop off the head of the guilty minister."
"It really makes me heartbroken and in tears."
Guo Xiaosen's words made Jiang Qiulu even more confused, and she had no idea what he was going to do.
"Xiang Guo, tell me what you have to say, come here and wait for me on this festival."
"You're not just here to flatter me, are you?" Jiang Qiulu said after sorting out his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
"I sincerely request your Majesty's approval." Guo Xiaosen said, handing over a letter.
Di Yunhao took it and handed it to Jiang Qiulu.
After Jiang Qiulu took it, the three words on the letter made Jiang Qiulu stunned.
"Please give me a dictionary?" Jiang Qiulu asked doubtfully.
"Exactly, Your Majesty."
"Now that I am old, I have reached the age of abdication."
"I have been in the palace for thirty-seven years. It is time to give way to the younger generation." Guo Xiaosen said with some reluctance.
Jiang Qiulu was stunned and looked at Guo Xiaosen.
Now, after Guo Xiaosen left King Yong's organization, he became helpless and unable to cope with government affairs.
In addition, I faced strong psychological pressure some time ago, and my whole person seemed to have aged much instantly.
Although there was a rift between the two, fortunately, Guo Xiaosen was able to find his way back in the end.
He even took the risk to report King Yong's crimes.
Originally Jiang Qiulu planned to hold him accountable, but in view of his performance, Jiang Qiulu did not mention the matter to everyone.
"In that case, I won't stop you."
"Now Mr. Guo has indeed reached the age to enjoy his old age."
"Since this is what I'm talking about, I won't talk nonsense to you."
"Originally, I planned to execute you, but your last risk in reporting King Yong saved your life."
"I say you are wise, but you have been in King Yong's faction for a long time."
"I called you pedantic, but in the end you found your way back."
"But fortunately it's not too late. Your official career can be considered complete."
"Your resignation is correct!" Jiang Qiulu said.
Hearing Jiang Qiulu's permission, Guo Xiaosen finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!" Then he kowtowed again.
"Okay, let's spend the last Spring Festival in the palace."
"Now that we no longer have to face power struggles, we should be happy." Jiang Qiulu said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Guo Xiaosen said as he wiped his tears.
"Two days later, I will leave Kyoto City and return to my hometown."
After Jiang Qiulu heard this, he nodded slightly.
"Go ahead."
"promise!"
Guo Xiaosen bowed down for the last time and then slowly exited the Tai Chi Hall.
After leaving, Jiang Qiulu sighed.
"Guo Xiaosen did not lose his life in this incident. It was purely a matter of fate."
"Now that I can escape unscathed, it can be considered the best ending." Jiang Qiulu said.
"Your Majesty, the vacant position of prime minister will surely become the target of overt and covert struggles among ministers."
"In the court, another bloody storm is inevitable." Di Yunhao said.
"whatever!"
"As long as there is no problem with your identity and quality, and you have the ability to lead hundreds of officials."
"It doesn't matter who it is." Jiang Qiulu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
In short, Jiang Qiulu only had two requests.
There is no problem with his identity and character, and he also has the ability to command hundreds of officials.
If not, the next prime minister will still be in the same party as King Yong, which would be meaningless.
After finishing these things, it was already evening.
In Kyoto, someone has already set off fireworks.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Guo Xiaosen was alone, looking at the scene outside.
But at this time, there was no one around him.
Just today, Guo Xiaosen has dismissed all the guards and servants in his house.
All his belongings have already been loaded on the carriage outside the door.
The grand scene outside was in sharp contrast to Guo Xiaosen's desolation.
It's as if he shouldn't be here.
During the Spring Festival, some people are happy and some are sad.
Jiang Qiulu was indeed happy, but the sad one was naturally the Yongwang Mansion.
At this time, King Yong did not know that Guo Xiaosen was resigning, and was still thinking about how to make the next step.
In fact, in the final analysis, whether Guo Xiaosen resigned or not was no longer important to King Yong.
Two days later, just after the Spring Festival, Guo Xiaosen drove a carriage alone and left Kyoto City.
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
"Your Majesty, Guo Xiaosen has left Kyoto City." Di Yunhao entered the imperial study room to report.
Jiang Qiulu nodded slightly, but the next moment, Jiang Qiulu laughed.
"I originally thought that King Yong would take advantage of this festival to cause trouble."
"The result is really beyond my expectation." Jiang Qiulu said.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yong's Mansion will definitely feel uncomfortable at this time."
"King Yong lost so many soldiers and two generals."
"In the palace, there is still pressure from His Majesty and the Zhenfu Division. King Yong will definitely not have a good life this year." Di Yunhao said.
Jiang Qiulu had the absolute upper hand in everything.
