「Prime Minister's Residence!」
The three Prime Ministers were gathered. In the incense-filled grand hall, Zhuge Liang and Xiao He were playing Go. Guo Jia stood by watching, but he was not one to observe in silence, interjecting every now and then.
"In a few days, I'm afraid the Imperial Capital will be quite deserted!" Xiao He mused, then took a black stone. With a SNAP, he placed it on the board, making the already profound game even more inscrutable.
"Then what about us three? Who will stay behind?" Zhuge Liang asked casually, placing a white stone.
"I heard the Minister of Rites has resigned!" Guo Jia interjected, adding, "But that foolish lad thinks going to the Torch Academy is a loss for him. He has no idea it's a tremendous opportunity!"
Xiao He smiled and said appreciatively, "Among all the court officials, aside from ourselves, his character is the purest. Confucianism has recruited a fine disciple!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and remained silent.
