All cabinet ministers who submitted petitions to retire would ask the emperor to stay for two or three times. Wan, Liu, and Yin, the three prime ministers, submitted petitions with a cautious mindset, and the new emperor immediately issued an edict to provide preferential treatment and not allow them to resign.
Liu Ci Fu's mind was made up.
As long as the emperor does not allow him to resign this time, he will never write a letter again, and will drag on in the central government no matter what, occupying the highest power in the world. So many people have come and gone in the central government in the past few decades, and who didn't resign because they couldn't stand it? As long as he can hold on and refuse to leave, what's the point of those people disliking him?
His reputation as Liu Mianhua is not earned for nothing!
Liu Cifu's leisurely demeanor also gave the two cabinet elders Wan and Yin a reassurance. The two compared themselves with him. One thought that he could write novels and win the emperor's favor, and the other thought that he was younger than the chief minister and had a greater favor with the late emperor. No matter how he thought about it, he was more qualified than him who got to the top by relying on connections and face, and should be able to sit in the cabinet for a few more years.
